I Hope it's accompanying track is not a live track, or a track from THP.. Including the extended intro and outro would be cool.
"Until It's Gone" was promoted with a 2-track single which included "Guilty All The Same". Maybe the "Final Masquerade" 2-track will feature "Until It's Gone" as the second track.
September 20? What's up with this that bands release a song, lyrics video and even official music video but the single isn't released for almost TWO MONTH? I've seen several bands do this, how is that good promation? The song is already out there, it's a digital single, the music video is out, WHY the wait? I really don't understand it...
If its anything other than the instrumental or acapella version of the song, or a live track then I'm happy
There's usually large gaps to accommodate the hype of one single before moving on to the next one. Kind of like how "What I've Done" was released in May and was huge in the charts. It allowed the hype to build and it to be overplayed before moving to "Bleed It Out" three months later.
I think that second track will be Wastelands. Could be cool if they would include extended Intro & Outro version.
I really doubt that it will be the instrumental or acapella because those are both being released before this single. Hoping for a demo version with Mike's vocals, the extended version from the video, or a real b-side. Live songs will be a waste since the only ones we want anyway (HT at Download) are being released. Remixes are a BAD idea. The anticipation is always the most fun for LP!
It'll likely be a live song or a remix. That's about as good as I think we'll get. Hopefully it's a "BURN IT DOWN" remix.
Maybe it'll be something from Warped Tour. I would love a professional recording of Bleed It Out with MGK
