Fortress is such an awesome/dangerous album for drivingzazthespaz wrote: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.

:rockonI am so fired up about this!!
I love AB, but they haven't always been the greatest at marketing and pushing their brand. I was hopeful the sound of Fortress indicated a better willingness to take risks and push their envelope, then the set lists and lack of publicity in the US was kinda discouraging. This choice for a single though, especially if it's not cut, fills me with hope. Anyone who has heard this song loves it. Now a bunch of new people will hear it.
The rock station here in Denver is a POS, but I'm gonna break their telephones and emails requesting this song.
CRY OUT!!!

Greg's jamming your lines and he's bogging you down
And you scream, out loud.
Just play his damn song cause he's weighing you down.

Can you guys imagine them trying to play an acoustic rendition of this song for Billboard or Loudwire?
Re: Cry of Achilles is the 2nd single!
Just a reminder. Remember to only request the song at your local radio station. AB got in trouble in the Blackbird era because fans were requesting Rise Today on stations that were out of their market.
Re: Cry of Achilles is the 2nd single!
what? how could you get in trouble for that? Freedom of expression.

Re: Cry of Achilles is the 2nd single!
I'm incredibly excited about this decision!
Re: Cry of Achilles is the 2nd single!
I don't know. It's a fine line. Either you show there's real interest in a song from the general listeners or it's just the same crazy group AB fans requesting song everywhere.AB23 wrote:what? how could you get in trouble for that? Freedom of expression.
The radio stations were annoyed so they requested AB to tell the fans to stop. As long we don't go overboard, it should be fine. I think Michael's point back then was you can request the song like crazy at your local station, but don't do it for every rock station out there.

Thanks Timo!
Re: Cry of Achilles is the 2nd single!
I'd say it's more likely that one or both of the solos gets cut. Also, the bridge before Myles takes his.
Re: Cry of Achilles is the 2nd single!
Mark already said that if it was gonna be a single they weren't gonna cut it, and they shouldnt. It might deter some stations, but its such an incredible song that you have to keep it. There isn't one lull in the entire song
Re: Cry of Achilles is the 2nd single!
Only thing I see them cutting maybe is Myles 30 second intro but besides that nothing.
