    According to recent comments from Chester, Linkin Park have tapped "Given Up" as their new single. The video for the single will be a live video, meaning a culmination of various live concerts from their recent European tour.

    "We are starting to shoot our new video for 'Given Up' and I think it's going to turn out really good. The band has decided to go with a live video and I think it's perfect for the song. We always do really big expensive videos and it's nice to take a break from that."

    Considering the giant impact "Shadow of the Day" is making on Hot 100 and Modern Rock radio, it's possible "Given Up" won't be hitting the airwaves for a few months.

    What do you think of the choice? Discuss it in our forums.

    i like given up. its catchy and harder than anything else they've released yet. they're just trying to appeal to a wider variety which is good. maybe they'll have room for either loatr or no more sorrow after this one.

    "No More Sorrow" should have been the next single.

    I like the song but, I think that the live video would better go with BIO..Well it's their choice. I don't even like the live version of Given Up, it sounds/looks like a torture to Chester..But the studio version of the song is good and I think it well make it's way to the top of the charts.

    I think the song is one of the worst the band has ever written. It's the "Don't Stay" of MTM

    I used to say the same thing all the time, but I've grown to like "Don't Stay" quite a bit. :lol: But "Given Up" is a bad song.

    I agree with Andrea though, "No More Sorrow" should've been the next single.

    heyyyyyyy i liked don't stay, it was an ok song:cry: well anyways, i like this song. i think they should make this a normal music video and not a live one just because it is one of the best songs on the cd. well like the last one out of my favorites, but still good.

    I've given up. Warner sucks at chosing singles.

    It's way too angsty. I thought these guys were 30 year old men. I see it as blatant pandering to angry teenagers.

    Haha, I forgot to mention I was talking about "Given Up", but I can totally see how that works for both songs. :lol:

    I think No More Sorrow should be the last single and it should be released near to the Presidential Elections.

    You know...capitalize on the Bush hate for record sales :lol:.

    I was just so relieved that the next single wasn't Valentines Day, I thought they were headed toward that kind of direction and it's kind of nice that we have a harder song. Given Up is by no means a great Lp song, but it's better then most of the terrible songs from Minutes to Midnight, except maybe What I've Done, In Pieces and TLTGYA

    I've already heard Given Up on my local radio just once last week. I don't really think Given Up or any single will make too much of an impact or difference in the albums sales at this point, because the album is really old now.

    We don't have to "deal with it" it's called an opinion, and our members are freely allowed to express it on these boards :).

    Don't like it? Well too bad. 'deal with it, it's not going to change'. :)
