Ok so this has over 100 spins and got 7 adds on Active this past week. Besides, Kroeger said they'd be filming a video for it eventually, and ITWYLD is almost dead on active now, so lets say its safe to say this is the next rock single

If it is, it's a bad choice. It's an OK song until you get to the falsetto vocalizing at the end of the chorus, that part always annoys me. This'll be the fourth rock single from this album already, I've got a bad feeling "Just to Get High" won't get released. :(

Looove this! Best hard song on the album. Well it kinda alternates with S.E.X for me since I love the bass on S.E.X but this one is more anthemic.

I'm with Phobia in thinking Just To Get High would be right. But then again, Dark Horse is sure to go eight singles deep. Patience.

Why are so many near-recurrents getting second winds on active? I wonder if there's something going on that's similar to the CHR situation right now.

I didn't think Just to Get High was anything special at all. I don't understand the fuss.
Is it just me, or are their singles being released WAYY too fast after eachother? Maybe they realize people are starting to care less?

Throw enough stuff out there and something is about to stick. I heard the "other" single today and seriously what is the effect they put on Chad's voice? I mean it is used on every song but it is really noticable on that song. His natural singing voice can't sound like that.

It's a sensible choice, but I don't think the very best choice either.
I think they should have released "Just To Get High" first so they could follow up "Something In Your Mouth" with something serious in comparison. Then they would release another one of their sex-centered songs, THEN release this song that isn't about sex but definitely non-serious also.
Sincerely, Noah Eaton

Maybe they realize people are starting to care less? That's definitely NOT true as far as CHR/Pop is concerned. We went several months almost with conflicting reports regarding what the follow-up to "Gotta Be Somebody" would be on that format, with "I'd Come For You" originally signaled as the follow-up (which even got a video filmed), then "Something In Your Mouth" having a tentative adds date there, then finally "If Today Was Your Last Day" confirmed to be the second mainstream release. I don't think they're rushing singles here either. It may just feel that way because "Savin' Me" was pushed to all formats the previous era, despite not necessarily being the best candidate for Active Rock musically, and it felt like a long time to some between "Animals" and "Rockstar".

This LIVE, is just awesome. Great choice. From what I've heard, it definitely has made the best impression among all their heavier album tracks this album cycle in concert. Interestingly enough, despite playing two-hour shows, Nickelback haven't modified their setlist much at all. They didn't even incorporate "If Today Was Your Last Day" into it when it was first released as a single. They'd play their first two singles, "Burn It To The Ground", and a more acoustic version of "This Afternoon" on a smaller stage................but other than that, they haven't played much of their new material in a live setting, with the exception of "I'd Come For You" at several shows. It's carefully constructed more along the lines of a tour promoting a Greatest Hits compilation, with two cover songs thrown in ("Use Somebody", "Hey Man, Nice Shot") Sincerely, Noah Eaton

They really cover "Hey Man, Nice Shot". I'm trying to picture that and failing.

I'm gonna go ahead and call this as their biggest Active hit from this era. It will be interesting to see how it'll be bigger than "Something In Your Mouth", which hit #1 on that chart. Maybe it will hit #0. I'm sure you're talking about weeks though, right?

If that happens, it will go #-1. ;) Now, seriously, I like "Burn It To The Ground" but I wanted "S.E.X." (my favorite hard rock song on Dark Horse) and even more, I wanted "If Today Was Your Last Day" to have a real chance at both Alternative and Active. For this, I'm hoping for a peak in the top 5 on Active and in the top 30 on Alternative.

"Just to Get High" would be a perfect followup to "If Today..."
First lines from both songs:
"My best friend gave me, the best advice." "He was my best friend, I tried to help him."
Chad has a bipolar best friend, who happens to be an very optimistic druggie.

Sincerely, Noah Eaton When I saw them in Minneapolis, Shaun didn't sing it with him. Chad did, and he joked that Shaun had "already left for the bars". But Ryan Peake did sing Use Somebody. They also didn't play I'd Come for Your or ITWYLD at that concert, and that kinda upset me. But this was probably my favorite song live. BITTG that is.

AutoTune, presumably? ;) Sincerely, Noah Eaton Well, I'm sure that's true, Noah. Most artists record with some degree of autotune or something similiar. However, there's something else that Chad must use. I wish I knew more about how music is recorded but I don't. It's like they put a reverb or echo on his vocals. I don't know. It's weird.
