    Well I think it really just depends on what song they feel will fit in with the "story" of the current videos maybe? Iridecent for sure, but after that? Its all just a guess. For all we know they may stop after Iridecent.

    I hope they release a gritty song as a single. The two that fit the bill are W&K and WTCFM, and I'm a huge fan of the latter. Plus they've also played that on SNL... maybe they will release it as the next single.

    Looking back, I wish When They Come For Me would have been the first single. It seems like it would have been a strong first statement to make about the album/the band.

    Agreed Xero. Especially with the lyrical content.

    I vote WTCFM as the final single. I know it has a lot of cursing, but as LP proved on SNL...that's rather easy to clean up.

    Agreed, I actually thought that version was more listenable than the cursing one, i'm surprised how well they are performing the song live, sounds awesome. :headbang:

    The Catalyst isn't a "Sing;e-y" song either. Which is why they chose it to be one. Blackout would give a lot of fans a chance to see how diverse Linkin Park can be.

    That song is
    1. Soft
    2. Heavy
    3. Energetic
    4. Fast
    5. Slow (at the end)

    It's perfect!

    I agree, a 'gritty' song would be best. I'd like to see Blackout or Wretches and Kings. W&C would be on every sports highlight reel/action movie soundtrack that comes out this spring. Would put LP out there more.

    The Iridescent thing is not fake news. Zane asked Mr. Hahn and that's what he said. I was standing right next to him.

    As for a 5th single, I'd vote for WTCFM as well. Glad to see that I was proven wrong that they in fact can make the censoring work.

    I'd like a W&K video with Mike and Chester as leaders of opposing forces, giving motivational speeches to their soldiers and ending with an epic showdown.

    Of course it must include samurais, robots, chicks with gatling guns, and explosions. And no slow motion.

    Mike also threw the Idea of Iridescent being a single out on the table on the meeting of a thousand suns video.

    And ATS came with a sticker on the cover that says "Featuring The Catalyst, Waiting for The End and Iridescent".

    Though, I guess it's not impossible that Mr. Hahn was fucking with us because he thought it was a dumb question or something :lol:. But he sounded very serious.

    I agree with you. I don't think WTCFM, Blackout or W&K would fit in with their "story". The only other song that I think will fit is maybe The Messenger but I doubt they would ever release this as a single. Robot Boy doesn't seem like single material to me either, it's just so hit and miss with the fanbase.

    I would love it if WTCFM was a single at some point though.

    I wouldn't. I'd love it if they decided to keep one of their best songs known only to their fans for once.

    I thought about this for a while....but if Linkin Park does go with the 5 album singles, I've concluded that the remaining two have to be iridescent and When They Come For Me. It just seems so obvious now.
    However @Derek, I don't really believe that When They Come For Me would have been a good 1st single. Though we may think it now, the idea of that being the first single back in August would have completely freaked everybody here out to a point where it was just not a good idea anymore. When They Come For Me was definitely one of the songs I had the hardest time to get used to.

    anyhow, i'd certainly love to have singles for all 9 A Thousand Suns songs. The idea of a Mr. Hahn Blackout, When They Come For Me, and Robot Boy is just so entertaining for me to think about. I think those three would make great videos.

    Anyone who says that Waiting for the End would not have been the best choice for the first single is on fucking drugs.

    Well, in terms of money anyway

    Actually, I'm disappointed in you because you of all people should know that LPs and singles are two different formats in the first place.
