Single Number 3?

[Big J.G]

I know that this poll may be a waste, but it will be indeed very interesting to see what people think will be Single Number 3.

For me, its a toss up between Kid and Waiting For The Silence.

[Colezy]

You're wrong :p

[Ben reed]

Do you know?
premature ejaculation!!!

[Big J.G]

I don't think there are any plans for it as of yet.

Unless there was that conversation with Rae that revieled something.

And does it matter if I'm wrong? If people actually know what the next single is then they should stay out of this poll all together.

[Jonnno]

I know which song it'll be.

[Ben reed]

u know or u think u know?

[The Dying Start]

It'll be the super-secret album track entitled "Jonnno is a wanker"

[Big J.G]

someone voted for loaded gun :o


Probly not gonna be it, but you never know.

[paulvroc]

haha, jonnno
it'll be Hey Hey obviously, with Kid 4th :)
that seems to just...fit for me. heavy 3rd single, 4th ballad

[Big J.G]

Rae has a dislike to Hey Hey, but that song would be a perfect 3rd.

Waiting For The Silence is like the Nothing Lasts Forever of White Noise, easily the best song on the album, but if it was a single, it wouldn't do so well.

[paulvroc]

you really think nothing lasts forever was the best song on SoE?
til the end, wake up, one step behind...i liked them all better
waiting for the silence may well be the best on white noise...but its also better than nothing lasts forever, in my opinion.
it wouldn't work as a single though, i'll agree

does Rae dislike it enough to completely throw it out, single-wise?

[strahanie]

I would say yes, but i dont know how much control she has over all that stuff, it wont be single no 3

[Big J.G]

you really think nothing lasts forever was the best song on SoE?
til the end, wake up, one step behind...i liked them all better

yeh, i do like Nothing Lasts Forever as the best on SoE. It's just written so brilliantly.

[paulvroc]

yeh, i do like Nothing Lasts Forever as the best on SoE. It's just written so brilliantly.

fair enough
its up there for me...and i respect how well its written, til the end is a beautifully crafted song as well, and i just sorta like its sound better...
but it doesn't have the impact and emotion of wake up, or the classic outlaw theme in one step behind either :p

[Kristen]

I think 21st Century has the most commercial appeal of the songs left.

[strahanie]

and Andy sounds great on it

[May]

Dont you guys realise that drummer #3 isnt single anymore? sheesh :rolleyes:

[Kristen]

I didn't even mention Andy!

[BennyD]

i went for raise the alarm, but i also think hey hey disbeleiver is also a good choice.

whatever it is, it has to be a rockier song that white noise and moment in the sun

[May]

I didn't even mention Andy!

Topic darlink, topic.

[Ben reed]

21st i reckon
it wont be kid coz its too poppy and we've already had mits and white noise
but maybe hey hey...
id love make the call!

[Amur]

nice to see that each song has been picked at least once! (well...except for Sum of Us but we all know why it's not there).
I voted for HHD, without any doubt.
Make the Call is also great, but I think it's too heavy for radio etc...

[Kacky]

I already heard some word of what it will be. It's an interesting choice.

[Amur]

I already heard some word of what it will be. It's an interesting choice.
heeeey, tell me please something about it ;)

[Shadow]

Raise The Alarm is an epic no-brainer for a single despite the theme... It's one of TLE' greatest songs - EVER.

I voted Loaded Gun, and I'm hoping it'll be either Loaded Gun, Raise The Alarm, or Make The Call. They're all great. 21st Century would surprise me as a single choice, even though it is very straightforward and could easily be a single - I just think that in terms of BETTER songs to release as singles, there are easily better choices for the coveted #3 (and... maybe, #4?).

They didn't play 21st Century on the White Noise tour, mind you - only when they were touring as the Longnecks. Would love to hear it live.

[Fritz]

21st i reckon
it wont be kid coz its too poppy and we've already had mits and white noise
but maybe hey hey...
id love make the call!

your ddrreeeaaaammmmmmmiiinnnngggggg. they havent even played 21st once yet during the tour. If anything its all common sence its the least likely song to be a single. :D

[WHITE FALCON]

ı voted make the call
just beacuse out of common sense they have played ıt every show they have played?
ı thought that would make sense
they even played ıt ages ago at ACDC gıg!

[Big J.G]

I wouldn't say so, considering Loaded Gun was played at every show as well, and so was Raise The Alarm (i think).

[Shadow]

I wouldn't say so, considering Loaded Gun was played at every show as well, and so was Raise The Alarm (i think).
I think they've played these at every gig since AC/DC Lane (with the exception of Bigpond Monday Night Live):

How Do We Know (already part of the White Noise single)
Raise The Alarm
White Noise
Moment In The Sun
Make The Call
Loaded Gun

So out of those six that've been played consistently and constantly, there's three remaining songs:

Raise The Alarm
Make The Call
Loaded Gun

If Single #3 isn't one of those songs, I'll be very surprised. I'll even give away my spare copy of Modern Artillery with the bonus DVD to someone if it isn't one of those songs!

[Ben reed]

your ddrreeeaaaammmmmmmiiinnnngggggg. they havent even played 21st once yet during the tour. If anything its all common sence its the least likely song to be a single. :D

yeah but did they play nothing last forever on the soe tour?
they didnt when i went
and they didnt at the fed square gig before soe came out
;)
i would love to see make the call!

[Colezy]

Yeah, they played it on the ASOE tour (the one later in the year).

Their choice for single #3 is weird, I feel (if it is what I have been told).

[Ben reed]

oh well i couldnt make it to the asoe tour, i was shattered
i really wanna know what you've been told!

[Fritz]

I think they've played these at every gig since AC/DC Lane (with the exception of Bigpond Monday Night Live):

How Do We Know (already part of the White Noise single)
Raise The Alarm
White Noise
Moment In The Sun
Make The Call
Loaded Gun

So out of those six that've been played consistently and constantly, there's three remaining songs:

Raise The Alarm

If Single #3 isn't one of those songs, I'll be very surprised. I'll even give away my spare copy of Modern Artillery with the bonus DVD to someone if it isn't one of those songs!

For sure. Good post. Yeah for me its a coin toss between raise the alarm and make the call

[Colezy]

And I am really sure that you can wait it out like everyone else :p

[Ben reed]

your probably right
but ill take your cd if your wrong!

you didn't need to:(

Shotgun the cd
I'm gonna hold you to your word :p

I'm not sure what it will be. I'm gonna have to think about this one for a bit.

[Shadow]

Shotgun the cd
I'm gonna hold you to your word :p
No problem - though you and Ben reed are going to have to fight it out for the MA if the single is indeed a shock surprise.

[Neo]

heh heh heh

you guyth are thilly :p

[Ben reed]

Ben reed!!!!!!!!

[The Dying Start]

Bwahahaha! What the fizzle?

[paulvroc]

seeing as Hey Hey's been thrown out for managorial reasons, my money is on Raise the Alarm.
absolutely kickass song, and would it ever sound epic on radio

[Big J.G]

I think it's gonna be Raise the Alarm now, it has a simillar feel to Long Live The Weekend, which was Single #3 of the last album.

[paulvroc]

=D
that'd be great
however, i'm still emotionally attached to hoping that MITS does well, first...

[Big J.G]

If its milked as much as White Noise, then I'd say it will do even better considering its a much better song than White Noise.

[paulvroc]

yeh, its getting plugged a lot...
but despite that, the public are idiots...
i don't think it will do outstanding, or boost the album heaps.
but we live in hope

the ARIAs are where i put my hope for a huge recovery of the album on the charts.
a performance, and hopefully some awards, would mean huge sales

[r2jeeves]

I've just had a feeling that it'll be Waiting For the Silence. It sounds like a single, and reminds me of Nothing Lasts Forever.

I don't think it'll be as commercially succusful as other singles, but it'll draw people in before it's different for TLE. It's almost a ballad.

[paulvroc]

...absolutely hate to say it, but i was right
moment in the sun's debut was so disappointing
:(

[Big J.G]

I think it was the worst tle ever had...well...where did Tabloid Magazine go?

What needs to happen, DOWNLOADS! The song is getting shit popularity on iTunes.

[Kev]

Make The Call.

Its that rocknroll track radio has been looking for

[Colezy]

If the 3rd single is still going to be what I've told, then its going to suck sales/promotion wise, I feel.

[Big J.G]

So I guess that was TLE's plan.

Get White Noise milked the shit out of until it does people's heads in and just let the other singles go where they may, it wont matter if it didn't sell a thing.

And if the 3rd single is what I've been suspecting it to be by connecting the dots. Then, I agree, it won't be promoted much.

[patty_ww]

I voted for Hey Hey, but I'm skeptical whether or not it'll be single #3. I would be mildly disappointed with Raise The Alarm, not a bad song, just probably my least favorite off the album.

I'd love to see Sum Of Us be released, but it's doubtful.

[Deadcat Kaye]

Is this what everyone wants as the next single...Or what everyone thinks the next single will be??

Small but important difference.

[Big J.G]

I intended it to be what everyone THINKS the next single will be.

[Shadow]

Make The Call.

Its that rocknroll track radio has been looking for
Exactamundo. That, or Raise The Alarm... both could tear the radio another rear end.

[Absolution]

*Agreed also.

I can't see there being much of a kick off with Kid or WFTS; which got my decision down to either Hey Hey, RTA, or MTC- contrast in sound after MITS.

Still unsure, could go RTA or MTC in my mind; but I'd be happy with either tbh.

[Deadcat Kaye]

I don't care when the next single is released...

I want any of these

Raise The Alarm
Loaded Gun
How Do We Know
Make The Call (though highly doubt it)
21st Century (more doubt)

MITS and WN are great songs, but not as "rock-y" as some other songs on the album.

Next song should be what the albums about...ROCK

[lozzamouldy]

well i WANTED it to be raise the alarm
its a great song that would go down well
because if my 15 year old HSM obsessed sister likes it, then anyone could

but what i THINK it will be in MTC

[Big J.G]

I don't care when the next single is released...
Raise The Alarm
Loaded Gun
How Do We Know
Make The Call (though highly doubt it)
21st Century (more doubt)

The song I really suspect to be the next single is on that list. And I'll say this.

It's not Make The Call.

[Colezy]

Oh how I would LOVE it if it were Make The Call.

[Deadcat Kaye]

Make the call is an awesome album song...but that's it...won't convert to a single well.

Raise The Alarm on the otherhand...
Has definant potential for being a damn good single.

[Kacky]

I would be a super excited child if they EVER released Kid as a single. A lot of people know how much I heart that song.

[thelivingvines]

Hey Hey Disbeliever all the way. I don't think Make the Call is radio friendly- also the way it's a 'song of two halves' doesn't make it single material somehow.

[paulvroc]

raise the alarm would be epic on radio
i hope that its third

but i hope more so that moment in the sun cracks the top 50 next week!

[Habibster]

Make the Call would be my choice.

If not Make the Call then Raise The Alarm.

[Big J.G]

raise the alarm would be epic on radio
i hope that its third

but i hope more so that moment in the sun cracks the top 50 next week!
So do I, I bought the song 3 Times off iTunes, once off Nokia Music and I bought the Physical Single as well, I just want the song to do well in the charts (I wish Number 1, but the public are gay)

[The Dying Start]

I voted Raise The Alarm in the end. Make The Call and Hey Hey would be good to see, but unlikely.

[Erin]

i'll take whatever they give, but i would REALLY love to start hearing 'make the call' 'raise the alarm' or 'loaded gun'.

concidering the political-ness of both loaded gun and raise the alarm and the too-heavy-for-commercial-radio rock of make the call- i doubt they'll make the airwaves.

which raises the question- why say it's a ballsy album if you can't demonstrate it in your singles? curiosity of the buyer, perhaps?

(oh, i vote raise the alarm)

[dylanos]

I don't think it will matter if it is radio friendly or not cause radio just won't play it...they only support first singles unless you're pink or the veronicas that get all their singles supported... Therefore, why not go for a rocky heavy one, at least for fan's sake! Bring on Make the call!!! If not, raise the alarm. Film clip wise, 21st century has a strong subject matter and would convert well....

On the heavy note, there are lots and lots of heavier songs around than any of these that still make it to radio. JJJ will give it a spin. Who cares about Nova, they are a horrible station and don't care at all about artists, they are worse than austereo networks.

I agree with the comment about a rock song...that's what they were saying all along about the album being their heaviest and rockiest...so show the people that it is! The first 2 singles have been fairly light. Time to rock.

[Big J.G]

I suspect it to be Loaded Gun, but I wouldn't be surprised if it was Raise The Alarm.

[Kacky]

I'm pumped for the next single. :)

[Burner]

I think they got about 6 songs that could be a next single. Either of them would be great.

[Big J.G]

I think they got about 6 songs that could be a next single. Either of them would be great.

All except for How Do We Know, Make The Call and Sum of Us?

[strahanie]

Whats wrong with those?

[Kacky]

Nothing at all. ;)

[strahanie]

Exactly, n if u dont like any of those for single #3 you might have a problem

[The Dying Start]

You're gonna kill the kiiiiiiiiid [/Chelsea]

[Burner]

All except for How Do We Know, Make The Call and Sum of Us?

I think Sum of Us, Waiting For The Silence and..... Raise The Alarm.

[Colezy]

My thoughts exactly, Beth!

[Mogle]

Well I've been using my cunning detective powers and have come to this conclusion.
The AC/DC lane dvd that came with the album had 6 songs on it.
White Noise, which was single#1.
Moment in the Sun, Single #2.
How do we know?, B-side on #1
Second solution.
A cover of Jailbreak.
And Raise The Alarm.

Could be coincidence, but it's a theory and I stick to it.

:D

[Kacky]

You're gonna kill the kiiiiiiiiid [/Chelsea]

Hai! Glennifer! 'Tis a GOOD SONG! :D

[The Dying Start]

I Knoooooowwwwzzzzz.

[Kacky]

Heckyesizzle you do!

[FlyingV]

well what is it?

Sum of us all is too different for radio...
Make the call is too heavy for radio...

would radio REALLY accept the themes of raise the alarm?

having said that white noise is a brillant album and every song is perfect.

[Big J.G]

Yes it would, it accepts Eminem lol.

[paulvroc]

Yes it would, it accepts Eminem lol.

hahahahahaha
really, these days songs like Raise the Alarm and Loaded Gun are completely tame and fine for radio.
i'd be stoked with either

[damo0945]

:D

hold on, what is your theory exactly?

[Habibster]

Make the call isn't too heavy for radio.

The guitar is hardly even distorted.

hold on, what is your theory exactly?
His theory is that Raise The Alarm will be the next single. That theory has crossed my mind also regarding that AC/DC lane dvd.

[tanguyen]

They should do a Beyonce and release every single song off the album and saturate the airwaves. Turn TLE into a religion babby

[The Dying Start]

Amen to that, sister.

[BennyD]

i really think they should go with something that sounds different to WN and MITS. Those two sorta have a similarity to them. Go for something more ballsy like Loaded Gun or Hey Hey

[The Dying Start]

So what would you rule out from that point of view, Ben?

[dylanos]

rule out kid, sum and waiting... I have heard raise the alarm a fair bit on JJJ...

[Big J.G]

Alot of non Singles have been on Triple J a fair bit. I remember when they played 'Til The End, I was like...WTF?

[dylanos]

true... often JJJ picks one that they like that isn't a single and thrash it. I was just saying that JJJ had been playing it. Who knows...make the call...

[Shadow]

Who knows what 2009 holds in terms of third, and potentially, fourth singles. We'll probably hear some news around the time that the White Noise deluxe reissue comes out.

[Deadcat Kaye]

Man, it's gonna be awhile til the next single methinks.
Seeing as White Noise is still being blasted on the radio.
I've heard it 4 times today.
on 3 different radio stations

[tanguyen]

The other day I heard White Noise and Moment in the Sun played within the same hour on MMM. Alot of TLE love I reckon.

Actually, I've got a knack of turning the radio on everyday and getting hearing TLE songs withint he next minute.

[paulvroc]

me too
they'll hold it off for a while
and will be wise to do so

[Wild Turkey]

Why not a double a side single?

That would be fantastic.

Pick any two out of raise the alarm, Make the call, and hey hey.

I reakon it could preform... plus would be so cool

[Big J.G]

Hey Hey Disbeliever/Raise The Alarm

Hey Hey would be the ideal choice for a single, but its apparent that Rae doesn't really like the song, so I don't think it's gonna happen.

[Shadow]

Hey Hey would be the ideal choice for a single, but its apparent that Rae doesn't really like the song, so I don't think it's gonna happen.
I really don't think it would make a difference whether or not Rae likes the song. She's smart enough to understand what works and what doesn't work for the boys, and if she personally doesn't like HHD but can see that it would be a good radio single, i'm sure that it would be considered for release as much as any of the other songs on White Noise.

[Anfony]

Nova Sydney played Raise the alarm today, I heard it while I was at the RTA of all places :ohmy: Therefore I cast my vote on Raise the alarm.

[Ben reed]

yeah if nova played it then it sounds like it will be raise the alarm

[Big J.G]

Well, it looks like it's Raise The Alarm.

But until I see an official announcement, this thread should stay open.

[paulvroc]

yup, certainly seems so.
the fact that Nova played it seems to allude pretty well
the only thing they play is singles, and those they play before any other station

i'm happy, if its Raise the Alarm as we think :)

[Shadow]

If it were Raise The Alarm, they'd have played it off a promo single which would have been distributed - which we'd probably be aware of by now if it were the case. Kev's in the loop with promo singles. It's possible that it is the next single and forthcoming to tie in with their slot on BDO and other festival shows, but it seems a bit too soon and I figure they'd be holding back until at least March-ish because that's when the White Noise re-release with the bonus disc is out, too. But if it's RTA, then it's excellent news. :)

[Big J.G]

Moment In The Sun was announced in September..thats 2 months after white noise.

And raise the alarm is announced in nearly 3 months after moment in the sun.

[Shadow]

Moment In The Sun was announced in September..thats 2 months after white noise.
That may be the case, but let's look at the actual release timeline:

White Noise Single - July 5th
White Noise Album - July 19th
Moment In The Sun Single - October 25th

In between the single releases, there was a gap of about three months, give or take a week or two. If RTA has been released to radio during the Christmas / New Year week (essentially as of Monday, December 22nd), then we could possibly see a single release towards the end of January, or (more likely, if at all) during February. (EDIT: This is all based around the fact that singles are usually released to radio a month or so before their physical / digital release.)

[Big J.G]

but look at it.....january is ONE MONTH away. And the time between release and announcement is a month apart.

[Colezy]

More like 9 days away! :p

[Big J.G]

thats true.

I can't wait until a video clip is released for this song. It'd be about afew weeks now haha.

[Colezy]

Well I've heard different (regarding which song it'll be) but I really hope it's not that. I won't be happy..it's an odd choice. And no, I wont be telling you what it is..although some people already know about it too.

Gee, I'm not a very sharing person tonight! :p

[Big J.G]

I had a toss up that the next single was gonna be Loaded Gun or Raise The Alarm.

All others would be very surprising.

[Loaded-Gun]

Gee, I'm not a very sharing person tonight! :p[/QUOTE]



notice she wrote TONIGHT on the end. *spirits rise*

[Colezy]

Well what ever it is, I'd love to see an ATD or WER style video, but I doubt that will happen.

[Big J.G]

You sir are just too funny. (referring to Nik. not Nic!)

I picture Raise the Alarm to be a Prisoner sort of video clip (the aus version).

Loaded Gun (if that was the song you're reffering too), I picture that to be a mix of all torn down with a tabloid magazine look.

Now thats a good combination!

[Colezy]

Gee, I'm not a very sharing person tonight! :p



notice she wrote TONIGHT on the end. *spirits rise*[/quote]



Learn to quote properly! :p

You mucked it up so badly that it stuffed up MY quote. Honestly! :p

[Big J.G]

You stuffed up his quote too.

BURN! lol

[Colezy]

Not really. He didn't do his right (forgot one of the [quote]'s, so when I went to quote him, mine didn't work either. It's an evil chain reaction!!

[Big J.G]

but fixing it is possible.

[Mogle]

There is one thing that has barely been mentioned.

What will the b-sides be?
November and Rats perhaps?

[Colezy]

I very much doubt that it will be Rats. We probably wont see it again for ages.

Perhaps November, but I bet that there is at least one live track it.

[Big J.G]

November and...Jailbreak :)

[Sarah]

There is one thing that has barely been mentioned.

What will the b-sides be?
November and Rats perhaps?

You must mean since the last single was speculated/announced?

[Kacky]

Well I've heard different (regarding which song it'll be) but I really hope it's not that. I won't be happy..it's an odd choice. And no, I wont be telling you what it is..although some people already know about it too.

I know, right! I don't mind the choice though. Either way, a video for anything right now would be hawt!

KID. :woot:

[Ben reed]

chelsea ive noticed that you really like that emoticon thats all crazy face

[paulvroc]

I had a toss up that the next single was gonna be Loaded Gun or Raise The Alarm.

All others would be very surprising.

yeh me too. those 2 songs, with me not caring either way.
Loaded Gun would have made for a mad video clip...it wouldn't be like Tabloid at all!
it would be like ATD :)
i hope the clip for Raise the Alarm does it justice...such an energetic and meaningful song

November and Jailbreak would be awesome!!!
no chance of rats...:(

[Sampson]

im guna go out on a limb here nd say make the call for 3rd if not possible 4th single.
it would take many 40yr olds back to the days wen acdc ruled the radio.
my dad being one of those 40yr olds heard make the call nd went "its about fucking time!" the volume only went up from there.
since this fateful day he has been basically hooked.

moral of the story- bit of a marketing ploy to get teh album of the platinum line the everyone keeps bitching about :rolleyes:

[Ben reed]

haha you and your dad have the right idea
MAKE THE CALL:D

[Kacky]

chelsea ive noticed that you really like that emoticon thats all crazy face

:woot: You have?! :woot:

[Ben reed]

tis rather scary
u crazy canadians...

[Kacky]

Haha. I should do a Polar Dip, that would prove to you how crayzay some of us are.

[Ben reed]

oh jeez, you fuckin nutter...
lol reminds me of the time dad tried to walk on a frozen pool then the ice broke
not cool

[Kacky]

You mean Australia has ice? :wassat: :p

[Ben reed]

YES
:)
i snowboard thank you very much:P

[Kacky]

Yeah, on teh mountains unless you go to a random hill and grassboard.

[Ben reed]

we have cool mountains
coz you can choose if u want snow or not here
like if i want a really cold winter i would go to the mountains but if i dont then i stay here

[Neo]

or if you live -here- you can pretend that hail is snow :p

[Ben reed]

you could do that too

[paulvroc]

so i take it the third single is about winters?

[tina]

i heard raise the alarm on nova's "launchpad" a few nights ago. Single 3??

[Big J.G]

Yeah, we kind of suspected it to be a Single.

Will there be a fourth? Or will they work on Album Number 6? Or Will they take a break? Or worse...will they retire?

[Anfony]

Will there be a fourth? Or will they work on Album Number 6? Or Will they take a break? Or worse...will they retire?
who knows??

[Colezy]

They've got a multi album deal with Dew Process. I doubt that retirement of any kind is on the cards just yet.

[Mogle]

Will there be a fourth? Or will they work on Album Number 6? Or Will they take a break? Or worse...will they retire?

Ive been thinking that after listening to moment in the sun.
'This is our moment in the sun, this is our time to run, because there's nothing left for us here' particulary worries me.

Someone prove me wrong?
;)

[Colezy]

I'm pretty sure that that was about stuff in the past..from when Chris was writing it at the time.

[Big J.G]

yeah, Chris was tired of being a Rock Star at one point and he didn't want to "waste" his life doing it. He just wanted to see what else there was in life.

[strahanie]

I did ask about that lyric earlier in the year and the boys said the band would be around for a long time yet :)

[Big J.G]

I honestly don't see an end with these guys. The only thing stopping it is if one of the band members gets tragically killed.

[Mogle]

Fair enough. I guess even a car smash couldn't stop Chris lol.

god what a depressing post

[paulvroc]

yayyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy
i want them to get to at least the 8 album mark
with a B-side and Rarities album as well
:)

[drifta_21]

And a covers album. That would be cool, but then again that would be pushing it.

[Colezy]

On the TLE wiki page it says that RTA was released to radio stations on Dec 22nd as the 3rd single.

But we all know how reliable wikipedia can be! :p

[paulvroc]

yeah, somebody from here who read the 3rd single thread probably just added that in.
for minor articles, citations are rarely needed, so stuff like that just gets left.

[Big J.G]

..it was me!!!

[MODERNART.illery]

..it was me!!!

unreliability at its best.

[The Dying Start]

Absolutely!!!

[dylanos]

RTA has been aroubnd on JJJ since they released the album, as in they have played it quite a bit. Still doesn't mean it's a single. However, it is a strong contender in my book - needs to be a rocking single!

[Mogle]

Hey I just realised Raise the Alarm is in a different font to all the other songs.
Is that a hint or just coincidence?

[mattheal]

no it means you voted for it :p

[Mogle]

no it means you voted for it :p

Oh.
Well I feel like a bit of an idiot lol.
:D

[WHITE FALCON]

hahahahahahahahah classsic

[Jonnno]

Raise the alarm is the new single, they played it on nova today

[WHITE FALCON]

Jonno Skourletos with the 3.

[paulvroc]

:O
nova usually don't play album tracks...at all
must mean its a single...considering its been played on two Nova stations now (and seeing as Nova seem to play new singles first)
exciting!

[dylanos]

I hate nova...they are awful and their DJ's are worse

[The Dying Start]

We're getting warmer!

[drifta_21]

The TLE myspace doesn't have White Noise on it any more. Are they getting ready to replace it you think?

[Big J.G]

Tis is true. I'll give them a week before the new song is up.

[Jonnno]

Tis is true. I'll give them a week before the new song is up.

OR ELSE YOU'LL DISH OUT SOME SRS PWNAGE AMIRITE?!?



hehe, evil chris, you're gorgeous

[Ben reed]

jonno you make me lol:)
a guy who i went to primary school with knows you
lewis kaprianous...longgreekname.... or something like that
goes to your school
he said your a good guy
haha

[Big J.G]

they added Raise The Alarm.


Almost confirmation.

[tanguyen]

Oooh I'm very excite now!
I'm actually more keen to see the film clip for Raise The Alarm.

[Big J.G]

How long before it's released do you think?

[dylanos]

I bet there are live B sides... I also bet it's digital release only...

[dylanos]

i think the voting should be closed cause people know the answer...

[Big J.G]

No, it wont be digital release only. There never were any digital release only singles from TLE, and I don't think they'd start now.

[Kacky]

Physicals>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>digital.

[Big J.G]

Yeah, physical singles arent always gonna be made. And I have my collection, in which is always building.

[Kacky]

I hate digital. I never buy digital, always physical.

I hope they only put up Raise The Alarm (not that it's a bad choice or anything!) to bullshit J.G, and release something else. Of course, everyone knows that I want Kid, but even I know that wont happen!

[Big J.G]

What ever song they release a single is good enough for me. Even if they release 21st Century, which at the moment is my least favourite song on the album other than white noise.

I buy digital to a certain extent, if the songs are only available digitally. Such as She's Calling Out, CIA, Hopeless and Beware the Moon.

[wizard_23]

Agreed! Hence my frustration when bands bring out digital only releases.. It's just a pain in the ass really.. and the feeling of walking out of a store and rushing home to throw on the new TLE release is pure bliss! Not to mention reading the insert over and over... and over.

Physical - ;)

[mattheal]

i did both for white noise, but i bought just the physical for MITS, mostly cos i already had beware the moon

[JayTee]

KID KID KID!!! Perfect 'summertime and radio-friendly' single!

[The Dying Start]

I hate digital. I never buy digital, always physical.

Chelsea liked it Physical!!:flowers:

[Loaded-Gun]

Hey This Is Kinda Irrelivant To The 3rd Single, But I Was Watching The "how do we know (demo)" on youtube and i thought, all that footage would have been from different longnecks gigs, and started wondering if they would make a dvd out of the videos they recorded, coz they wouldnt record a all that just to make that video would they? yeah that would be great so we could hear all these unreleased songs live?


what do ya think?



I can always dream :innocent:

[Jonnno]

loaded gun, what are those lyrics in your sig? theyre terrible!

[Ben reed]

a guy who i went to primary school with knows you
lewis kaprianous...longgreekname.... or something like that
goes to your school
he said your a good guy
haha

read that post jonno

[mattheal]

loaded gun, what are those lyrics in your sig? theyre terrible!

its who's on your side - TLE

[JayTee]

Raise The Alarm is the first song in TLE's MySpace, could this be a sign?

[r2jeeves]

Whatever its going to be, you can bet it'll be released really soon. Most likely just before Big Day Out...

[The Dying Start]

I reckon we would have heard something by now if it was a pre-BDO release. Plus, it always gets released to radio a number of weeks before it comes out as retail.

[Big J.G]

Usually a month or so.

[paulvroc]

myspace means its a definite :)

EDIT: i just heard RTA on Nova!!!
good as...
i hope they plug it a lot, its a better song than WN and should get at least equal airplay.
Nova (or at least melbourne nova) have been really good to the boys with airplay this year

[The Dying Start]

Ahh, the chaos, the calm. How's the serenety?

[Sarah]

The Serenity?

http://img2.timeinc.net/ew/dynamic/imgs/050615/151729__serenity_l.jpg

still fucking hot.



In hindsight RTA probably would have been a better #2 single as its very TLEish and a rocking song. But yeah, Myspace probably means its a go - can't wait!

[Ben reed]

yeah i heard it on nova twice on one night a few weeks ago

[damo0945]

Hope I don't get sick of it like White Noise... I really like Raise The Alarm

[Sarah]

I still love White Noise <3

[Kacky]

Chelsea liked it Physical!!:flowers:

Oh baby, you know I love it physical. ;)

[Neo]

Me and White Noise have a love/hate relationship :p I hate hearing it everywhere because it's over played, but when I take the time to sit down and put it on it still sends tingles through me the same as it did when I first heard it! its weird. its amazing!

[mattheal]

i actually agree with you completely on that jamie, it frustrates me when ever i hear it on the radio, for about 20 seconds then i re-realise how good the song is and cant help but get into it

[paulvroc]

my thoughts exactly
i kinda groan when it gets plugged
but when it comes just after Raise the Alarm and before Moment in the Sun, i really love it

[The Dying Start]

All that i'm hearing from youuuuuuu...

[WHITE FALCON]

my thoughts exactly
i kinda groan when it gets plugged
but when it comes just after Raise the Alarm and before Moment in the Sun, i really love it

exactly my thoughts

[paulvroc]

so...whens RTA going to be released?
any minute chance of another B-side? :D
i'll be hanging out nonetheless...

[WHITE FALCON]

they opened with it at BDO

[paulvroc]

probably not the right place to ask
but i didn't get a ticket to BDO
and kicking myself so badly
was it good? :(

[WHITE FALCON]

read the BDO thread in the gigs seciton

[The Dying Start]

It's lucky I've got a good crew to go to BDO with because I'm only seeing 3 bands or something. Yuck.

[WHITE FALCON]

They're promoting raise the alarm on myspace. its on the front login page.
im getting a pring screen now

[Colezy]

I did that last night. I just forgot to post it :p

[WHITE FALCON]

shot not posting then hahaha

[Colezy]

Just realised that the one I screen-capped wasn't from the log in page, but from my home page thing

http://img407.imageshack.us/img407/4323/newpicture5ok0.png

[Kacky]

Oh, that's cool!

[The Dying Start]

Mmmm favourites!

[dylanos]

no news on release details yet? I bet they are live B sides...

[Colezy]

If there is news about a release, you'll be reading about it and we'll all be talking about, mmkay?!

[Kacky]

They probably just haven't had the time, yet. Busy, busy boys!

[The Dying Start]

They should hire a man servant.

[Loaded-Gun]

Last night i had a dream (hahaha) that on the raise the alarm single there was a version of rats live, how awesome would that be!? seeing as we probably arent getting a recorded version

[WHITE FALCON]

... rats live, how awesome would that be!? seeing as we probably arent getting a recorded version....

dude seriously shut the fuck up. its over. we have word from the man who wrote it that it wont be released. shut up.

[mattheal]

I agree, If we see....it great, if not get the fuck over it, there are probably heaps of good songs that we will never hear

[Ben reed]

i thought that the word was that its gonna be on the next album?

[WHITE FALCON]

yeahh next album is ages away though ben. i meant its not gonna be released on this album.

[Ben reed]

righto .

[The Dying Start]

Yeah Ben. Step off.

[Ben reed]

that made me think of school of rock

[Big J.G]

The crap live version we have now is a good enough taste of what we can expect.

Everytime I listen I can hear the lyrics more and more clearly. Wow.

[white_noise]

maybe rats will be the Bside :flowers:

[Big J.G]

Loaded-Gun says chris told him that another version of Faith will be a bside.

You never know.

[dylanos]

It seems to be taking a while for a release... seeing that it went to radio and has had a film clip a while ago...

[The Dying Start]

Not realy, in the past we've waited months and months after radio release to see the physical single.

[paulvroc]

do we have a date?

[drifta_21]

Gimme the time and the place baby.







/lame joke.

[Colezy]

I'd say a little closer to the RTA tour?

[The Dying Start]

Just enjoy the chaos, the calm. I'm sure someone around here will raise the alarm when they hear the release date.

[Colezy]

Oi, quit stealing my RTA jokes, Mister :p

I've gotta be good at SOMETHING around here! haha

[Big J.G]

Glenn may not have original jokes.
It doesn't mean he's a lesser person.


:\

[paulvroc]

hideously lame
but i guess i did open myself up to stupid responses with my vague question...
so touche...

[The Dying Start]

Touche, touche!

[Shadow]

If Raise The Alarm does get a physical release as a single - I know it's been said that we're getting a different version of Faith as the b-side, but... can we PLEASE get any of the digitally released b-sides on physical singles at some point in the future?

I'm talking about:
- CIA
- She's Calling Out
- Beware The Moon
- Hopeless (Demo)

The MITS single should've had CIA or She's Calling Out as the third track, in my opinion - and I understand that there are licensing issues with iTunes / Bigpond and exclusivity commitments that will last for a certain period of time, but these tracks should be made available to the public that are casual fans of The Living End, but not so to the level that they will trawl iTunes and Bigpond Music and god knows wherever else to collect all the b-sides. It's incentive to buy the physical single, and the songs simply deserve the wider exposure.

The physical MITS single had New Frontier and probably could have used an extra track as added value for buyers. A third track wouldn't really affect the cost of the single by that much, surely? The White Noise single had three tracks, though in truth, one of them was How Do We Know - but that was before the album was released, which is understandable and part of forward promoting (not to mention that HDWK was getting heavy play on Triple J and was "essentially" a radio-only single).

Beware The Moon is an interesting one in that... it was given away as a free download for a while, and now it's available as a digital bonus track on the iTunes MITS single - yet most people who want it already have it from the free download and thus, I can't imagine that too many people are paying the $1.69 to buy it as a single track.

What do you all think?

[damo0945]

I reckon digital downloads are more accessible than physical singles these days... Singles are just a small rack, even in big places like jb hifi... I've never even seen any of the new singles... I haven't looked all that hard though, I just flick through the rack occasionally...
Not meaning to shut you down or anything, but I don't think physical singles are really that popular these days...

[Kacky]

I hate digital downloads/releases.

Anyway. I had a fucked up dream last night that I found RTA on vinyl.

[mattsmolen]

Just decided to join the forum today, and glad I did! i reckon raise the alarm will be a kickass single (hopefully doing better than MITS).

Does anyone have a release date? also, rats should be the b-side for sure! that song was the highlight of the longnecks gigs for me.

haha rats.....

[Big J.G]

Raise the Alarm is already doing better than MITS. It's already in the Australian Singles chart at number 20.

MITS did OK in the Physical Singles part. It went to Number 34 and currently still sits there at number 97 (look at the ARIA report on Pandora). But as for digital downloads, it never charted. And the Singles Chart, it only lasted in there for 1 week in which was at number 100.

White Noise got the majority of its buys from digital downloads. On iTunes, the song is kicking arse. MITS however its TLE's 6th most bought song. Raise the Alarm is at Number 2. Pretty good.

And also, Rats is too good for a Bside. Let Cheney do what he wants with it and let them release it on the next album.
