Why was it not a single??!!!

I know it can probably be said of loads of songs, but why didn't they release All Eyes On Me as a single??!! I just can't get enough of the song atm, and it's a good length for radio/tv...and the possibilities for a music video are endless!!! And I know they released something like 5 from DUTG anyway- just feel it would've made a great single.

Hate This Place would have been awesome, too, but yeah, there were five. Once you get to five, it's insane.

This is a great song. It's always been one of my favorites and it's amazing live. I can't remember the exact quote....Nicole I know you'll know....but John referred to this song as their epic live song or something like that. It's too bad they aren't still playing it.

No exact quote... I think it might have just been from a conversation between John and a fan of some sort. They mentioned how wonderful All Eyes On Me was live and John said something about them considering doing a live concert recording to showcase the harder versions of their songs, specifically that song. I'll never understand why they didn't perform that song at LIB, since it was the reason for LIB. It wasn't even on the orignal setlist, but it was played at the private show a couple nights before.
And while I agree that they could ave released another 2-3 songs from DUTG, I really think they were running out of steam at that point. By the time Broadway was released they had been promoting for 2 years and touring almost as long and, according to them, they were all sort of falling apart in their personal lives.*
*I'd totally support them releasing another song from DUTG in 2007 if it means the LLI songs will leave my radio.  Sorry. Had to get a LLI dig in there. It's been at least 12 hours since I last insulted it.

All Eyes On Me would have made an amazing single, but so would Acoustic #3 and Hate This Place... but I guess they can't just release all their good songs to the radio, because then they would release pretty much everything, in my opinion.

See, I can't imagine Acoustic #3 on the radio. I love it, but I don't think it's a radio song. I mean, it's a short song, even after EOAC.
Hate This Place, though. I will start a radio station somewhere in the middle of nowhere in Texas just so I can get Hate This Place on the air if I have to.

I could see All Eyes One Me on the radio, but not Bullet Proof.

I think I'm still the only person that doesn't like Hate This Place, haha. It just never did anything for me! And I don't know why!
Slightly more on the topic of the thread, this one time, a friend of mine who was obsessed with "All Eyes On Me" got all excited because he found a live version of it on whatever crappy file-share program he was using. So he sent it to me, and what was it? The track taken right from the CD, orchestra bit and all, with crowd applause noise pasted on top of it.  I laughed. I cried. And the boy was in denial when I told him that his "live" mp3 was totally fake. Aww, good times.
As for Acoustic #3, didn't John say he specifically made it that short so that Warner Bros. wouldn't release it as a single? Said he didn't want to give people the impression that all their songs are ballads, or something along those lines. (Oh, the irony.)

I love the fake live version. The first time I heard it I was like "Wow, the band sounds perfect". The second time I figured it out and was horrified someone was that desparate. Our very own blue o pointed out that the cheering is looped as well. I think it I still have it somewhere, because it's too good to let go.
And yes, John apparently made Acoustic #3 short and didn't name it appropriately because the label was eyeing it as a single. Kinda makes you wonder why LLI isn't filled with titles like "Synth and keyboards #1", "Synth and keyboards #2", etc, etc.*
*LLI dig. I listened to all of "Listen" in the car today, so I have to even it out.
