Cry of Achilles is the 2nd single!

[AB23]

As confirmed by MIchael on twitter. Great job guys! I know how much we were all pushing for it on social media, and I know how much the guys were pushing for it.

I truly think that this is the first single that has actually made me feel like "this is gonna put the guys on the map in the USA!"

Post initial thoughts/ reactions here, and great job ab nation

My initial reaction (Copied from the other thread)

I legit jumped out of my seat when I read the tweet. This is the BEST decision the band has made to go with their BEST song (Yes, BEST song). Can't wait to see how it does and how it elevates the band. So happy and excited!!

[AB23]

We really don't have any details. I saw that ax asked them about the video, and he wasn't sure. And we don't know if it'll be cut at all either. But still, fantastic decision. When a DJ hears the song he'll freakin let that shit play

[One Drew Remains]

Yeah, great choice. Screw radio, they won't play them anyway. Maybe someone hears how monsterous this song is and it gets noticed.

[anguyen92]

All right, this is a great start to all of this. Now comes probably the tough part. We got to push every radio outlet we know to play this thing.

[Andy92]

Hope they don't chop it apart.

[Outright]

Their best choice for a single by far. Too bad the intro will get cut out.

[austinjhnsn]

Either way, REQUEST. Make this one bigger than Isolation! We can do this AB nation! Crazy. I really am excited for this... I thought it would never happen. Thank you AB

[AB23]

Ya, if we've ever come together for anything, come together for this. Everyone request the song to their local radio station if you can. And when these people post a link for it, everyone try to send requests in. Don't let people post a link for naught. Come together and give these guys some recognition for this legend

[One Drew Remains]

I'm betting at least part of the intro and the whole pre-verse gets cut.

[Outright]

My radio station has been obsessed with AB ever since Myles joined Slash. They're bigger than Nickelback as far as they're concerned.

[AB23]

For example, since the tour basically starts in dallas (phhh orlando...) here's the big radio station that I usually listen to and that played Addicted to Pain

http://www.kegl.com/main.html

On the main page, look on the right side and search for it. Then, just request the song when it says "Can't find a song? Request it here." I'll do the same on sites you list. We can do this

[anguyen92]

I listen to that radio station, virtually, every day in the afternoons, for a long long time, and I have yet to hear Addicted to Pain. It kinda irks me.

[AB23]

you guys have the eagle too? ya they dont play it very often, but I know I've heard it. I also know they played the crap out of ghosts of days gone by

[anguyen92]

No, I listen to the Eagle via iHeartRadio site/app.

[agny]

yaaaaaaay. My local station plays Anastasia all the time and ATP so I bet they'll play at least a fairly long version of CoA

[Nick_917]

So excited that this is the next single! Even if it gets edited, it's still going to be awesome. They could play 5 seconds of the song and it would be better than a lot of the stuff out there. Anyway, hopefully this does great things for the band.

Gonna flip out when I hear this on the radio for the first time. Probably get pulled over for speeding too since I'm too busy playing air guitar and drums to pay attention to the speedometer (Gas pedal = Kick pedal). If people don't like this I give up on America.

This is pretty much all or nothing at this point. Hopefully, they can finally break a certain ceiling, that kinda plagued their US prospects for a long time, with this track. I'm not saying they will, but it would be nice.

According to Micheal they JUST made the decision so who knows maybe are tweets did help.

woooo hoooo!
