I'm really not a fan of that song. My favorite on the album has become "Face Down in the Dirt," which I will play next week on my new radio show. I'm kicking off the show tonight with "Kickstart My Heart"...a fitting way to begin I think.
That's all well and good, but why bother producing a video that probably wont see the light of day on either mtv or vh1? A poor choice for a band that could have used other tracks from a great album to propel themselves from the depths of irrelevance that they currently reside in. And before you question that, look at the current tours' set list....they are playing the part of the nostalgia act instead of trying to forge forward as they claim.
This is my fav along side face down in the dirt and the greatest White TRash Circus But they shouldn't have wasted their time like troy said it won't be played un like S.O.L.A. but i'll watch it!
Criticism of their set list is a bit harsh, Troy. Its length is obviously restricted on this tour and there would be considerable rumblings if they didn't play the staples. As for the video, I suspect they're aiming more for the internet audience with that one..
Anyway, they've not even started pimping themselves in Europe yet - hopefully they're saving "Face Down in the Dirt" for then.
Yeah, videos aren't made for MTV or VH1 anymore. They are now made for YouTube, and from there they are posted on Myspace, blogs, Facebook, etc...that's where the audience is now.
I do realize that the length of the set is limited on this tour, but I think that it's not too much to ask to hear 4 songs off the new album. Again, this album is great, and it should be used as a vehicle to return this band to the public eye...I fear that it will not do so if it is "promoted" in this manner. That is all I have to say about that.
Look at the current Judas Priest tour for a band that is playing on a package, and is mixing deep album tracks, new songs and their 'staples'. Motley has had the same set list for years, and their core songs are always the same, and NOT the songs real fans want to hear. Play some new stuff, but play some stuff that's not off Dr Feelgood, I mean, seriously.
