Mentioned in a recent Blender issue as the next single for September. It's also featured in a TV series about The Terminator. It's kind of a snoozer in the Simple Man vein. I was hoping to hear the title track as next. I'm sure this will do well despite that.

WOW this song is AMAZING!
Almost as good as a Devour, and this is actualyl a better overall single choice as it is more likely to succeed on both big rock formats

I was actually also hoping for The Sound of Madness next and then perhaps this. This is basically the "I Dare You" of this album.

excellent song.
I'd love to hear The Crow and the Butterfly on radio but will do.

Man I wanted to start this thread lol. It's still hasn't been 100% confirmed, but I read an interview with the drummer and he said he "thought" this would be the next single. Perhaps I should've started the thread then but I wanted to be sure. I like this one, but then again I like every song on the album. That said, there are a host of songs that are better than this one, but may not necessarily be single worthy. I'll bet this'll cross over, and have a similar run to I Dare You. But still; SoM, If You Only Knew, What A Shame, Cyanide, and Breaking Inside are better.

I like to be sure too, but I forgot we have a poster who acts like a schoolgirl when it comes to possible singles. |

I'll take Blender's word for it, plus I saw the commercial for that show last night. And I agree there has to be a better choice than this for Modern radio. Unless there's a definitive statement from a band member (I'm assuming there isn't but there very well may be) I wouldn't take Blender's word for it. If for no other reason, Blender isn't exactly known as a reliable music magazine. And the fact that it aired during a commercial means nothing as far as single status. But still, I think you're right about this being a single; I'm just questioning whether it's official yet or not. |

I wonder if they're gonna go 3 for 3 with the album sticker. First was Devour, second looks like it'll be Second Chance, and according to the sticker Breaking Inside will be third. I hope so cause Breaking Inside is my favorite song on the album.

Breaking Inside reminded me of a Daughtry B-side. I'd take the title track any day. Perhaps, but then again I'm a Daughtry fan so I wouldn't mind. Brent sounds nearly identical to Chris at the start of Cyanide Sweet Tooth Suicide. |

This is the first Shinedown disc I've ever heard, too. I didn't find much to like after the first two songs. I pretty much prefer the second half of the album to anything on the first half. |

This needs to be the theme song for the second season of Terminator. That will increase it's appeal. Didn't that work with that smallville song.

I do not get how a network TV show about The Terminator would be appealing at all. I mean, wasn't there a reason the trilogy was rated R? Because an action series is only appealing if it's violent. And yes, I realize the faulty logic in that comment, and I appreciate it, like a little baby seal. That I then club. |

hmmm, i just now saw the Terminator ad. I didn't know how it'd fit, but it does surprisingly well of doing just that. Terminator adI've never seen the show, but in the clip that one guy keeps saying stuff like "When is the time for me to live my life?" and it makes sense now that i've heard it. |

Network TV has been consistently pushing the boundaries of what they can show during the primetime hours. Just look at Heroes and Lost.

But the Terminator was an R-rated trilogy. Pretty steep drop. I doubt we'd ever hear Sarah drop the f word a dozen times like in the films. I can't speak for Heroes and Lost, but how can they honestly compete with HBO and Showtime? Drop some coin on a premium upgrade and leave the lame networks for live sports and local news. Yeah, its impossible to have a quality TV show without swearing and gory violence.....  |

If you haven't watched them, how can you claim to know how they're going to compete? They're great shows with stand out casts and excellent storylines with a lot of great dramatic moments. Unfortunately if you didn't start from the beginning, it's too late to understand the show now, but you missed some quality television that I didn't have to drop a dime for. You snooze you lose! |

HBO and Showtime are as real as it can get for TV. ....and as expensive as it gets. Again that's a relative statement and really it means nothing to anyone else. |

It's all relative. Going from HBO to network would be like switching from Heineken to O'doul's near-beer. No thanks. HBO and Showtime are as real as it can get for TV. That's a really retarded statement. Entertainment is entertainment. Just because you're allowed to show more graphic stuff on HBO doesn't make it any better or more entertaining than shows on network television, unless you really have a hard-on for swear words or nudity. Again, if you haven't watched the damn shows, then your opinion on them is pretty much null and void. |

quick little fact.
On billboard mainstream rock (pretty much the same thing as mediabase active rock) Shinedown has never missed the top 5 with a single.
Fly From The Inside: #5
45: #3
Simple Man: #5
Burning Bright: #2
Save Me: #1 (12 Weeks)
I Dare You: #2
Heroes: #4
Devour: #2 (About to hit #1)
And on billboard modern rock, they've never missed the chart, which is good for a band of their genre
Fly From The Inside: #34
45: #12
Simple Man: #40
Burning Bright: #22
Save Me: #2
I Dare You: #8
Heroes: #28
Devour: #13

yeah, and with the way this band is going, I can see Second Chance going at least #2, possibly #1 (I Dare You went #2 after all)
EDIT: Goes for alternative adds September 9th

Actually it is more entertaining, but that was not my point. It's more realistic when you have no censors to fight with. Try comparing The Sopranos and Dexter to Heroes and Lost, and I think you'll get my point. The networks lose every time. You just admitted you haven't even watched the damn shows so where do you get off making a statement like that? It's just ignorance, that's all it is. And that's all I'm going to say further on the subject. |
