HINDER, "What Ya Gonna Do"

[(Artie Ziff)]

I included all remaining tracks to appease any complainers. I think Hey Ho and Put That Record On are the most obvious rockers. But I'm guessing they'll flood the winter radios with a power ballad.

EDIT : MODIFIED POLL

[American Idiot]

I went with "Waking Up The Devil" because it's one of the only actual songs I'd consider from what I remember being non-cock rock on the album.

[Devin]

^ I don't think it'll do much these days given Hinder's raspy sound and the way a lot of pop radio is so "anti-rock".

[Jorge_Str [Som3on3]]

probably my most enjoyable songs from the album right now are "red tail lights" and "everybody's wrong", but i guess it will be between "what you gonna do", "the life" and "hey ho"

[lockebox]

"Hey Ho" or "Striptease" would have to be the best options if they want continued success on Active. My fav on the album is probably "Red Tail Lights", though.

[lockebox]

They're actually have a poll for the next single up on their website - these are the current standings:

Red Tail Lights - 21.72%
Put That Record On - 20.86%
Striptease - 13.37%
What Ya Gonna Do - 9.18%
Hey Ho - 8.95%
Waking Up the Devil - 8.09%
The Life - 6.89%
2 Sides of Me - 6.48%
Everybody's Wrong - 4.46%

[Gravity]

Honestly, if anything on this record was gonna damage radio, it was "All American Nightmare." I voted "2 Sides of Me" because I think it's the next best thing, but I don't like their chances with anything else on here.

[Pipa]

I think since "All American Nightmare" relatively underperformed, they should go with "Put That Record On" to sustain rock interest. Then they can go for the ballad.

[Devin]

Just make a new thread. I don't wanna poll attached to the thread while discussing.

[lockebox]

^ Agreed. I'd laugh if I beat Artie to the punch. I'm waiting for something official first, though, of course.

Beat me to the punch? It's a race? I thought it was talking music. I assumed since this is the discussion, we might as well keep it going. I imagine a second topic about the second All American Nightmare single might get locked.

No. Where did you get such a far fetched idea like that from?

I'd agree with the attached poll being a nuisance. New thread it is.

[Devin]

^ It won't be a duplicate topic if one says:

2nd All American Nightmare Release? (Hinder)

and the other says:

Hinder - "_____"

[(Artie Ziff)]

Well, if they're both referring to the exact same Hinder song, the next radio single from the album, I'd say that's exactly what a duplicate topic is.

But you don't have a thread about the next single, you have a thread asking people's opinions on a poll about what they want for the next single. There's a clear cut difference.

[(Artie Ziff)]

It's actually a discussion on the next Hinder single. The poll is for predicting, but the replies are for the song. Eventually, at least.

Well all your hopes and dreams will be shattered into oblivion.

[lockebox]

You voted for "Bad Mutha Fucka". No lies.

[(Artie Ziff)]

I actually never make it all the way through Bad Mutha Fuсka. But with Cee-Lo Green charting with the profanity, I imagine Hinder could too. I assume this will eventually be Strip Tease, then a power balllad to finish.

[lockebox]

Yeah, well, it was horrific. Hopefully "Striptease" followed by "Red Tail Lights".

Also, Artie, why are you arguing about whether to keep the thread or not? I thought it was all about the music.

[Devin]

This thread has people arguing about the thread, a big poll that I don't wanna see every time i go on the 2nd single thread, and it's people opinons on what they think should be the 2nd single, not the official 2nd single itself. This shoulda all been discussed in the "All-American Nightmare" thread, really.

[rockmaniac]

What Ya Gonna Do has been confirmed to be the second single. goes for adds March 21

[(Artie Ziff)]

Billboard.biz had this on their release list last week, but it was noted to CHR only. I assumed they were choosing an edgier song for rock. Did you have a source for Alternative or Rock adds?

[rockmaniac]

look up FMQB

[(Artie Ziff)]

I trust you, just surprised they went this direction for single two on Alt/Rock.

[jvandyck87]

I love how the song they chose didn't even do well in their own poll. It seems like bands often ignore their own research.

[(Artie Ziff)]

I'm guessing this is an attempt to expand the fanbase, not appease them.

Not to mention the Pink song too.

[Ron57]

I dislike this album. Greatly. I have enjoyed some of their previous works. But this is where I draw the line.

Thank you.

Not on alternative/rock.

[(Artie Ziff)]

Yeah, not sure about any Pink songs going to rock. As far as this album, it's miles ahead of the last one for me.
