Will Shotgun be the best song on the new album?

do you think a new song that hasnt been released or maybe a older song brought back will be better then shotgun once the album is done?

    i hope they have a song that can top it. that'd be sick as hell. shotgun is amazing so i'm hopeful they can top it cuz that would mean the album is that much better

    it's totally up in the air, imo


    these could be the best lyrics in a very long time...or they could leave us wanting a whole lot more. if he writes them off the cuff, i don't think they'll be great. if he listens to past versions, gets ideas, they'll be great.

    the music will be on point for sure but this is one lillywhite could really put a special spin on. if only...

    if Sugar Will lyrics are excellent, I think a nice 9 minute studio version could top Shotgun. The jam potential of this song is off the charts. That guitar riff will sound beautiful in a studio. But it'll be tough to top the gunshot.

    Well considering we have no idea what's on the album, I say who the hell knows.

    Having heard the entire album at Dave's penthouse, I feel it was second best. You can't top Butch's xylophone solo on Sugar Will.

    If Shotgun and Crazy Easy both make the new album (which I doubt), there's no way Shotgun will be the best song.

    Actually, if Shotgun does make the new album and it's its best song, then it means the new album isn't great at all.

    Shotgun is in percentil 15 of less good DMB songs

    Shotgun is a great song and has given me a lot of excitment for whats to come, but i definitely hope they take shotgun and surpass it on the album. but a great studio shotgun wtih amazing lyrics would be nice too!

    Kind of hard to know if it going to be the best song on the album when we don't even know if it is going to be on it.

    I hope not unless they make it even better than it already is, since I want songs that are just as good. If Crazy Easy is on there the album could be great with these two songs.

    "Shotgun" will absolutely NOT be the best song on the new album..My vote is for "Idea of You". Either that or "Falling off the Roof"

    If they do Shotgun correctly, then yes, I can see it being the best song on the album --- but then again, who the hell knows

    It could go either way. I'd think at this point it's Shotgun verse the field in that regard.

    Its possible, but I think dmb has something up their sleeves on this album. I think we all be taken back by how good they can make, but I think there will be something on the cd that surprises us and will be claimed as the best song.

    Yep. "Falling Off The Roof" was a guitar riff, and decent lyrics, played one time. How you place that over an already developed song is beyond me.

    it was more than a guitar riff man, it was fully developed...it had verse bridge and chorus parts..maybe you need to go back and listen to it again.
