Comment by john March 18, 2011 @ 4:40 pmYes! <3 Too bad radio's don't play Avenged here..
Comment by Britt March 18, 2011 @ 4:40 pmright i live in houston and they dont play Avenged either lol sad face though :(
Comment by Rey March 18, 2011 @ 5:23 pmi live in houston too! ive only heard almost easy and nightmare late at night but only oncee :(
Comment by koko March 18, 2011 @ 9:32 pmThey dont really play a7x here in kentucky either hell they really dont play any good rock here we only have one rock station:(
Comment by Kimberly gedeon March 19, 2011 @ 4:51 amYeah in NYC they barely even play metal on the radio
Comment by Genesis March 19, 2011 @ 7:36 pmHey Genesis – I totally agree!! I miss metal in NYC!! :( It’s already rare that they come see us here too!! The only rock we get is 101.9 RXP :(
Comment by Michelle H. March 19, 2011 @ 8:42 pmI live in Houston as well, our radio stations suck imo :/
Comment by David March 19, 2011 @ 1:04 pmWhen Nightmare the single came out, 99.5 KISS played the hell out of it here in San Antonio, but I haven’t heard any a7x on the radio other than Almost Easy a couple times and Nightmare. There should be an a7x only radio station =3
Comment by ry1749 March 20, 2011 @ 12:16 pmThat’s freaking awesome. Is there going to be a video, or are they skipping a vid like they did with ‘Welcome’?
Comment by Danii March 18, 2011 @ 4:40 pmNo clue! Guess we will have to wait and see.
Comment by deathbatnews March 18, 2011 @ 4:42 pmI sort of hope they will make a video for it, but I highly doubt it (unfortunately). But one can hope :)
Comment by Sarah Rae March 18, 2011 @ 4:45 pmconsidering So Far Away is such a significant tribute to Jimmy, I think they might do a video for it that’s a tribute! Like a montage or something I dunno
Comment by Anthony Ironmonger March 18, 2011 @ 6:04 pmI really wanted a video for Welcome To The Family :/
Comment by erin March 19, 2011 @ 4:06 amBut I hope this one will get a video!!
Didn’t Warner Bros. Make a video for it??? I think they will prob leave it at that, but I guess we will find out shortly.
Comment by Weber March 19, 2011 @ 11:13 amThey did have a big tour break, almost a month to work on a video. So you never know
Comment by iZacky March 19, 2011 @ 12:22 pmexactly what ive been thinking
Comment by me March 20, 2011 @ 11:19 amTheir already playing it on X103.9 in CA
Comment by Nicky7x March 18, 2011 @ 4:41 pmlol thats where I Heard it
Comment by mayra March 18, 2011 @ 4:43 pmWooooooooo
Comment by Collin March 18, 2011 @ 4:41 pmi already heard it on the radio about 2 nights ago here in victorville ,ca
Comment by mayra March 18, 2011 @ 4:42 pmWhen will they make a video for “Welcome to the family”
Comment by Jessica March 18, 2011 @ 4:42 pmI think it’s safe to say there won’t be one.
Comment by deathbatnews March 18, 2011 @ 4:44 pmI think “Welcome to the Family’ was more of a radio baed single….but I do hope they choose to make a video for So Far Away, I do think the concept would be an interesting one.
Comment by Alyssa March 18, 2011 @ 5:59 pmNICE!!!! OHH YEAH! BEST song EVER made by a7x!! LOVE THIS !
Comment by mathieu Pellerin March 18, 2011 @ 4:43 pmWas there a video made for Welcome To The Family?
Comment by DrumGirl March 18, 2011 @ 4:44 pmAnd was it even released in the UK as a second single? Jeez, we suck when it comes to metal…. I was so looking forward to seeing it on Scuzz….still waiting…..
No there wasn’t.
Comment by deathbatnews March 18, 2011 @ 4:44 pmYeah, I knew that this was next. I’d like to see another video…since they’re on a touring break right now they should conjure up a bad ass video!
Comment by ZombieGirl March 18, 2011 @ 4:46 pmyeah but we need more videos!!
Comment by Roger March 18, 2011 @ 4:48 pmgreat choice btw
Not to get off topic, but why is that?Previously, if I’m not mistaken, the only radio-only single was Critical Acclaim. But now we’ve got 2 more songs to add to that list.
Comment by Danii March 18, 2011 @ 4:48 pmI’m not entirely sure what you mean, but they have released many singles that have played on the radio. Bat Country was the one that brought them to widespread recognition, but they’ve released burn it down, seize the day, critical acclaim, almost easy, scream, afterlife, among others that I have heard on the radio.
Comment by otis March 18, 2011 @ 4:54 pmProbably ‘Welcome To The Family’ was a ”buzz single”?
Comment by Loghen March 18, 2011 @ 4:51 pmAnyway. Good choice. I hope there will be a video for this one.
At least you guys get to hear them on the radio!!!
Comment by DrumGirl March 18, 2011 @ 4:53 pmIn Britain, the heaviest music you’ll get is MCR!!!! The radio stations here don’t acknowledge Metal a whole lot….. :-(
True… Even things like Kerrang! don’t play much metal during the prime time shows (from what I remember, anyway… I stopped listening years ago, for that reason…). You only really get metal in the specialist shows at like 1am.
Comment by SS March 18, 2011 @ 5:35 pmWhere I live they don’t even play any rock music. You have to look around A LOT to even find a classic rock station. The rock one we had, which was bad anyway, got switched to a lite station.
Comment by Rocky March 18, 2011 @ 8:10 pmWonder if they got anymore b-sides to attach to the single release.
Comment by Anonymous March 18, 2011 @ 5:25 pmSo Far Away is a cool song…but already being played in So Cal-I heard it on radio today. I am hoping Buried Alive or Natural Born Killer are released as singles. And why no Welcome to the Family video?
Comment by Ax7fan March 18, 2011 @ 5:27 pmWhat I meant before was song that have been just played on the radio versus songs that are both played on the radio /and/ have music videos. I forgot Scream was a single since they didn’t play it on the radio up here. Oops. But the point I was attempting to make was that they usually release some sort of video–even Burn It Down has a video, albeit a lame one. So I wonder why these songs seem to be going video-less.
Comment by Danii March 18, 2011 @ 5:39 pmIt will be cool if there is a vid
Comment by Will0240 A7X forREVer March 18, 2011 @ 5:56 pmMy Favorite song from Nighmare !!!! i hope they play it a lot on the radio …. they never play a7x I hate that … And today was the first time I listen Welcome To The Family on radio I was soo happy :D
Comment by diana March 18, 2011 @ 5:47 pmIt’s sort of predictable to have So Far Away as the single as it’s written on the sticker on the CD cover. But I do hope that the boys are gonna make a music video for the song, I love watching music videos of theirs!!
Comment by Carol March 18, 2011 @ 5:57 pmI actually am kind of surprised by this. I’m glad it is, and I’m glad the record label let them do it. Great way to remember Jimmy!
Comment by Nolan Vasan March 18, 2011 @ 6:00 pmIt should be Buried Alive.
So Far Away is kinda sucky to be a single, but so is Seize The Day, sucky songs make quick success
Comment by OddY March 18, 2011 @ 7:27 pmeven though i agree about buried alive (its my favorite song on the album), just because a song is slow doesnt make it “sucky.” listen to cannibal corpse or gorgoroth if you don’t want ballads.
Comment by Mark March 18, 2011 @ 7:30 pmSo Far Away had a deeper meaning when they were writing it and relates more to Jimmy.
Comment by Loghen March 18, 2011 @ 8:16 pmBuried Alive could never.
There was no deeper meaning. It was about Jimmy.
Comment by Tanner March 20, 2011 @ 12:25 pmActually, the song does have a deeper meaning. Syn originally started writing it in memory of his grandfather before Jimmy’s passing.
Comment by deathbatnews March 20, 2011 @ 12:28 pmThe song is not just for Jimmy; it could be for any deceased or lost loved one as well.
Comment by Alyssa March 20, 2011 @ 4:36 pmim not surprised, prob one of the more radio friendly songs on the album. They should surprise us and put God Hates Us as one of the singles! ^_^
Comment by Jon March 18, 2011 @ 7:48 pmToo bad radio is censored :/
Comment by Mike March 18, 2011 @ 8:41 pmI like the song, but it’s a bad choice. Of all the reviews I read, and from hearing people talk about the album, many don’t like the song and many think it’s too slow or too country. (??)
Anyways, I don’t think this song is going to attract any new fans.
Comment by Rdog March 18, 2011 @ 8:04 pmCan I have a demo as a B-Side? And a video? Pwease?
My prediction for single 4 is Buried Alive; I feel like that will be a pretty major one with a video and such.
Comment by Mike March 18, 2011 @ 8:15 pmYeah, I could easily see a video happening for Buried Alive.
Comment by Alyssa March 20, 2011 @ 8:48 amim going to call the pop station since theres no longer a rock one in MIA. :(
Comment by Alissa C. March 18, 2011 @ 8:36 pmomfg this is sick!!!!!!!!! i love so far away its gonna be sweet to hear it when its on the radio plus bulletproof heart by my chemical romance is gonna be released as a single……2 of my favorite bands and my favorite song off both of their new cds it cant get much better than that
Comment by mark March 18, 2011 @ 8:49 pmOh Bulletproof Heart will be released as single? Nice! I hope they are gonna release Vampire Money or Destroya as single later.. I love these 2 songs
Comment by Carol March 19, 2011 @ 6:11 amPeople need to hear this song <3
Comment by Bobbi March 18, 2011 @ 8:50 pmYES!!! MY FAV SONG FROM THE ALBUM :)
Comment by gjmatamoros March 18, 2011 @ 8:50 pmBeen hearing this song since Tuesday on KFRR New Rock 104.1 Fresno, CA. Its on the cage match & everyone in the valley is loving it!! Its 4-0 so far (:
Comment by Mari March 18, 2011 @ 9:56 pm:D awesome
Comment by EmilyA7X March 18, 2011 @ 11:42 pmDuuuuuh. Who didn’t see that coming?
Comment by Dante Phoenix March 19, 2011 @ 1:05 amAwesome! It’ll probably be six months before I hear it here though. I only just heard Welcome to the Family on the radio last month. :(
Comment by Harley Quinn March 19, 2011 @ 2:54 amprobably i’m wrong but isn’t that the fourth single? Nightmare, Buried Alive, Welcome To The Family and So Far Away?
Comment by Emi March 19, 2011 @ 4:37 amburied alive was never a single
Comment by jen March 19, 2011 @ 5:31 amBuried Alive was just released prior to the album on the band’s YouTube channel.
Comment by Mike March 19, 2011 @ 6:18 amI think they should have done a less predictable move like make Tonight the World Dies their next single!
Comment by Anthony Ironmonger March 19, 2011 @ 5:42 amThat would be awesome!That is my fav song!
Comment by Kelly March 20, 2011 @ 4:47 pmI knew they’d choose that song! :D
Comment by Rachel March 19, 2011 @ 6:17 amEven though Buried Alive would make me happier!
That’s why im glad we have 105.7 The Point in St. Louis, they love Avenged and jump at any new singles they have, Nightmare and Welcome to the Family have been on full rotation, I can only assume it will be the same way for So Far Away
Comment by Alec R. March 19, 2011 @ 9:26 amMe too. I love The Point!
Comment by JaCaria March 31, 2011 @ 4:53 pmI love all the songs from avenged , and i love so far away. But I think they should have went with buried alive. Its a more radio friendly song. But oh well. So Far Away is great as it is
Comment by Josh March 19, 2011 @ 9:59 amBurie Alive is hardly more radio-friendly than “So Far Away. It clocks in at 6:44 which means much more (and probably the best parts) of the song would have to be cut out. SFA would be a lot easier to edit down without losing anything from the song.
Comment by jon March 19, 2011 @ 10:14 amgreat….here’s me hoping for an MV and i sincerely hope Buried Alive makes the singles list as well
Comment by me March 19, 2011 @ 10:42 amWelcome to the Family is currently the most played song at 106.7 in Denver, hopefully So Far Away will follow suit!
Comment by Greg March 19, 2011 @ 10:52 ami PRAY they make a video for this!!
Comment by Rob Navarro March 19, 2011 @ 10:59 amSo Far Away 3rd single?! Niiice!! It’s a really great song.. I wonder how they’d make the video!! My curiosity is peaked.. Lol
Comment by Michelle H. March 19, 2011 @ 12:32 pmFucking awesome!:)
Comment by Neon Jedi March 19, 2011 @ 12:52 pmBut I won’t blame them if they don’t want to make a video for this song either. I guess we’ll have to wait & see.

Comment by Jiyuu March 19, 2011 @ 7:37 pmYou don’t hear any rock music on the radio where I live; only Pop and R&B :(
great choice by a great band
Comment by stevok March 20, 2011 @ 1:15 amOH YAY!!
Comment by Emma Issaic March 20, 2011 @ 4:08 amI love that song sooo much!
It sucks living in ireland! NOBODY has good music taste! there isnt one radio station that plays avenged or anyone else good for that matter! Its not fair:(!
What happened to Welcome To The Family becoming a single? or is it just not out here yet??
Comment by amy March 20, 2011 @ 1:44 pmi knew the singles would go like this. this is the order barnes & noble released the songs leading up to the album
Comment by Anonymous March 20, 2011 @ 3:37 pmdon’t know about anyone else, but I’d really love to see a video for Dangerline. wasn’t my first choice from the album at first listen, but I quickly fell in love with it. absolutely amazing song and I can picture what a vid for it would be like (in my mind anyway).
Comment by LittleMissRESENTMENT March 20, 2011 @ 6:56 pmSo Far Away isn’t a bad choice for a single, but I personally would much rather have something like “Tonight The World Dies” (fucking love that one!!!) and here in Fl, God Hates Us is played on Saturday night’s ‘Against The Grain’ show after midnight. they also play a lot of stuff from Waking The Fallen. I can’t even tell you how awesome it is to hear ‘Eternal Rest’ as you’re laying down at 2 am to go to bed, LOL! =D
What a great way to celebrate my 20th birthday :D
Comment by Carmen March 21, 2011 @ 1:13 amu gotta make rock 101 in sault ste marie play more a7x… the only song they’ve ever played was nightmare, i want more A7X!!!!
