I don't think it's because they don't like it .. I heard it's because Steve and Mike are still learning that song and aren't comfortable with it yet to play it live ..

Well still, if they liked it enough for it to be a single, you would think they'd have them learn it to play it live.

so far I'm the only person to vote for Sell My Soul. I frigging love that song. I know it's not top 40's material, but it's sooooo groovy.

I guess .. but with all the other songs they've had to learn I doubt they're making it a priority since it's not a crowd favorite or anything now and it's still so new. They've had to learn songs from 5 albums .. there's only so much the poor guys can do :lol:

I don't see what everyone sees in All For You...the song doesn't fit with the album (at least it doesn't to me) and I can't see how that would be a successful single at all.
I faced death. I went in with my arms swinging. But I heard my own breath and had to face that I'm still living. I'm still flesh. I hold on to awful feelings. I'm not dead... My chest still draws breath. I hold it. I'm buoyant. There's no end.

My guess is that Steve just hasn't mastered playing it yet. I've tried it (thinking it would be an easy song) and it's odd. The beats a little hard to get a hang of.

They won't release Sorry until it can be played live fluently.

Yeah, sorry. I tend to skip posts after work, or if I haven't been on in a while, and I'm too lazy to read it all. :oops:
