Alternative singles thread
I d like to make that a poll but it is too complicated.
People are sayin that the wrong songs are selected as singles. Let's keep this post 2000 for simplification Common in Crush the singles were very obvious and my main complaint was that the rest of the album was week, not that the singles were bad. For the rest of the album post 2000, choose the 3 songs that you believe should come out as the 3 first singles. I m inviting everyone to vote, and if you believe the actual singles were the best choice, then vote that, so that one could potentially make a count and come up with some stats/result as to what drycounty fans would like as alternate history 😀 |
Bounce:
"Undivided" "The Distance" "Hook Me Up"/"Bounce" Have a Nice Day: "Have a Nice Day" "I Am" "Last Man Standing"/"Story of My Life" Lost Highway: "Lost Highway" "Any Other Day" "(You Want to) Make a Memory"/"Everybody's Broken" The Circle: "Happy Now" "Thorn in My Side" "Brokenpromiseland"/"Love's the Only Rule" What About Now: "That's What the Water Made Me" "I'm with You" "Army of One" This House Is Not for Sale: "This House Is Not for Sale" "Living with the Ghost" "The Devil's in the Temple" 2020: "Beautiful Drug" "Blood in the Water" "Brothers in Arms" |

I think singles until LH pretty much made sense. I would swap Say it isn't so for Captain Crash probably, and with hindsight, try something different instead of Everyday (Undivided is actually good candidate, not because it's a hit, but because it's heavy, driven song and you have eyes and ears of world on Jovi's new single in 2002). Okay, also Welcome to wherever you are is a dud, anything instead of that. Perhaps Novocaine?
But after HAND, I would just use 1st single as the most catchy one (usually record company chooses this), and then 2nd and 3rd "single" (really, song that's half-assed put to radio couple of times) I would use the best songs of the album, just to showcase there's still inspiration and talent. So, for me, Any Other Day on LH, Brokenpromiseland on The Circle, I'm With You on the WAN (but please, for the love of god, re-record that song properly). Just an example, Do What You Can did nothing for the band and its legacy and popularity. But Blood in the Water, if its just played couple of times on rock radio, would do at least something. Perhaps re-ignite some old casuals or remind old fans that there's still something there. |

Crush they got it right with IML and TYFLM the rest of the album is trash
Bounce: Undivided Bounce Hook Me Up Have A Nice Day: Have A Nice Day Story Of My Life I Am Dirty Little Secret should've had it made the album Lost Highway: Lost Highway Any Other Day Til We Ain't Strangers Circle: Brokenpromiseland Love's The Only Rule Superman/LBYD What About Now: What About Now I'm With You Thick As Thieves With These Two Hands if it made the album Hits: This Is Love This Is Life Burning Bridges: We Don't Run Who Would You Die For Life Is Beautiful THINFS: THINFS Rollercoaster Born Again Tomorrow Living With The Ghost We Don't Run should've been first single had they saved it for the album 2020: Beautiful Drug Blood In The Water Lower The Flag |
The sign of the times is when majority of us picks several singles that the band (and record company) also picked as a single, and it bombed IRL, nowhere near the relevant charts. So it's basically given that Jovi should not promote commercial stuff after the 1st single, but best stuff from albums, and strategy since LH has been mismanaged
