I'm sad for Writing on the Wall, I love the groove to that track. I think Addicted to Pain and Isolation are about tied for top of these options with WotW a little behind.
For all of the hope that it brings...

Upset by the lyrics themselves, or because they didn't make it onto the album? I loved those lines but I understand why and am glad they didn't include them in the final version.
As a Creed fan,at the time I felt it like disrespectful. haha
Lol, I can see that. I saw it more as a playful way of venting their frustrations about the constant Creed comparisons, which arguably led to their tumultuous departure from Wind-up at the time. I don't think they meant any disrespect by it. :)

Also, that live version they played in 2006 was at the time they were fresh off of taking that loan to buy out of the Wind-Up Records contract, so if they were at a time to be very pissed off at the circumstances they were in, that would be the time so I wouldn't be surprised if there were "subtle" shots made in mind in those early versions of Ties that Bind and Come to Life.

I went Isolation. But it pained me not to vote for WOTW. One of my favs on TLH.

A few years ago I would vote Come To Life easily, today I think it is tied with Addicted To Pain and The Writing On The Wall.
Since it had no votes, I chose WOTW. I think it deserves more appreciation, it's such a cool song.
People love Isolation, but I find it boring most of the time, don't know why.

Looks like this iteration of the BOTTN is gonna be more interesting than I thought, if not because of the question how many WTS songs are gonna win, we already have a serious divergence of votes for the first songs compared to last time.

Thought I'd share my list as well:

Come To Life
Isolation
Addicted To Pain
Wouldn't You Rather
The Writing On The Wall
One Day Remains

Writing On the Wall

The solo on CTL is severely underrated, I think it’s top ten for Tremonti.

The one Mark improvised for Pinkpop 2006 is so much better though T_T

Myles' vocals tho. Sounds like a complete different singer. "singer", heh.

Absolutely, I wan't a fan of his live performance back in the day. Well, right now I don't like a lot of thing he does while singing too.

Also, they play this song too fast these days.


Listening to this version is nostalgia. :rockon

Winner: Isolation

... which means that we already have a significantly different result compared to last time! Isolation only came in fourth (!) in the Last Hero edition of BOTTN, with One Day Remains taking the victory. This time, both tracks exchange placings.
