Wait. Why didn't anybody tell me they made a lyric video for "Buried Alive" and put it out two weeks before Nightmare came out? SMH Who's in charge here? Is Don on the phone?

Not that I am complaining AT ALL, but how the f**k did THIS happen?! Sunday update: 4 1 AVENGED SEVENFOLD So Far Away 1914 1753 161 5.057 1 2 ADELITAS WAY Sick 1913 1861 52 5.41 Wasn't this like more than 100 spins behind Adelitas Way as of yesterday? And my guess is that if this holds up for tomorrow, A7X will overtake both Adelitas Way and Sixx: A.M. for their first Billboard Mainstream Rock Chart #1. Niiiiiiiiice! Though I'm happier about Adelitas Way getting blocked than I am about A7X getting it.

Wow, that is very surprising, charging in from #4 to the top spot. :O I hope they finally do land their first Mainstream Rock #1.

I feel overwelmed with joy and 'WTF'ness as well. I really think "Nightmare" should've been their first #1 on Billboard. I guess this song is more Heritage Rock - friendly, which is helping it out on BB.

I'll accept anything that will block Adelitas Way.

now that this song reached #1 on the BB Mainstream Rock chart, I guess this means a 4th single should be under consideration. If they release a 4th single, Buried Alive is my pick

Mine is also "Victim". Though I do worry that a radio edit would cut the intro out, which takes away a lot of what makes the song awesome. I would pick "Fiction" but I think The Rev's vocals might weird some ppl out, but I think that song has the most powerful moments on the whole album. I doubt they would ever go with that. I also dig "Save Me" a lot, but a radio edit would decimate that song. So "Fiction" if they had the guts to pick it, but being realistic, a radio edit that hopefully leaves the intro of "Victim" existent albeit somewhat shortened is my pick. The female vocals at the beginning as well as the bells with the guitar are all awesome. They can be cut in half, but the song needs to come in on that.

Difficult to pick a fourth single. "Buried Alive" is most likely, but I'd probably go with either "Danger Line" or "Natural Born Killer."

I'd like to see "So Far Away" die off a little bit before deciding whether or not pushing another single would make sense and accomplish anything worthwhile. This is definitely a fitting song to close the album cycle with, but it'll be a wasted opportunity to walk away from a follow-up single if this song lasts much longer, especially since I doubt getting back into the studio to knock out another record is a high priority for them right now. They might want to return to the well one last time with another single, proceeding with low expectations.
Matthew and Jamie, I just don't see how it would be possible for "Victim" to be sensibly edited for radio. In my mind, "Buried Alive" is the obvious choice. They already shone a light on it with a lyric video and, along with "God Hates Us" (which is too aggressive for radio), it's been a live staple ever since the album came out. "Fiction" and "Save Me" aren't radio songs and I haven't perceived any outside attention given to "Danger Line," "Natural Born Killer," "Victim," or "Tonight the World Dies."
You can immediately knock out the first 51 seconds of "Buried Alive," which already takes it down to 5:54. After that there are so many parts that could be cut in half or brief passages that could be omitted altogether with far less disruption to the overall song.

^I didn't pick the song that would do best (which is what I would do if I loved the band and was very intently rooting for their success). On the other hand, I was selfish, and mentioned the songs that I would actually root for on the chart. If they released "Buried Alive", I'd probably just shrug my shoulders, as much as it may make sense for them. I feel like they're finally a high profile enough band to release songs that wouldn't fit at radio for anyone else, and "Victim" and "Fiction" or those types of game-changing songs for me. "Buried Alive" is just more of the same.

I'd like to see "Danger Line" get released, if at all.
