Rootless Tree first US single

Daniel · 10-31-2006, 08:00 PM

According to Tom Dunne on Today FM here, RT will be the first single from 9 for the states. He questioned how Damien is going to edit the F word out. good luck to him.
Today FM are also playing an ad for 9 "out Friday, with the singles 9 Crimes & Rootless Tree"

Ashley · 10-31-2006, 08:10 PM

Interesting. I also wonder about the editing, though other singles have done it before.

thanks building

srahman24 · 10-31-2006, 09:52 PM

But doesn't the US iTunes already have 9 Crimes out?

Hmm... the Canadian one does, so I wonder what'll happen here

SisterMidnight · 11-01-2006, 02:38 AM

i didn't see that one coming

Spamlet · 11-01-2006, 06:17 AM

Well it certainly worked for NIN's "Closer" (no relation). I remember when I first bought "The Downward Spiral" and after hearing that song I said "WOW! Well that one will definitely never be a single".

Smart on Damo's part in a way. It immediately makes the statement that he's not doing the exact same kind of thing this record as on "O". That said, I'd be quite surprised if "Elephant" and "Accidental Babies" don't get released as other singles.

Daniel · 11-01-2006, 05:34 PM

I guess he has released Woman Like A Man in the uk, that was totally unedited, just the normal live rude version.

they were talking about Damien's new album on 'The Last Word' on Today FM during the week as half six in the evening. And they played a sample from the album which is very unusual, because they don't normally music on that programme.

They played one verse and just as I was expecting them to fade it out and go back to the studio, instead it kept playing to the chorus of "F**k you, F**k you, F**k you, F**k you and all that you do" unedited across the entire country.

I thought it was funny anyway

knives! · 11-05-2006, 02:04 AM

no, actualy the damn u.s. itunes doesn't have 9. i think it's out here next week though.. am i of few north american eskimo friends??

Ha ha ha... but it is funny.

And d'you know what's stranger? They played Dogs on the local radio here this afternoon... I thought I was hearing things... then I went and blasted the volume. Apparently they were recieving requests for Nine Crimes, but decided to play something more 'upbeat' on a Sunday afternoon.

Anyway I just thought it was relly weird since non-singles usually don't get played on the radio...?

VolcanoesMeltUDown · 11-05-2006, 09:57 PM

They might just blank it out, so people would get the idea. They shouldn't even edit it...they should not disturb the beauty of the song. Make it an exception.

Five Leaves Left · 11-05-2006, 10:01 PM

they'll prolly just make it sound like the radio edits for closer by nine inch nails and she hates me by puddle of mudd

liswyn · 11-06-2006, 03:12 AM

If they did woundn't quite a big part of the chorus be distorted then? It would sound strange, unlike other songs which only need one word to be blanked.

for she hates me didnt think change like the timing of the chorus so there wasn't a pause in it? (meaning instead of she pause hates me it was pause she hates me) or am i just completely making that up since i haven't heard that song in a while.

i think they'll just cut the word out of the chorus for radio edits unless damo recorded another version which i doubt...

i might just start listening to the radio again just so i can hear how they edit it, hehe.

There's a clean radio edit!
What does that sound like? Is a studio version or just the cut live version with 2 mins are cut off it.
Its a promo so I'm not counting it....

Niko · 11-06-2006, 09:57 AM

Damien sang a "clean" version of Woman Like a Man on KCRW, I think - it's on youtube somewhere, at any rate. It's contains such immortal lines as "You wanna be the MASTER of yourself" and, my personal favourite, "You wanna get MUCKED inside out"...

Daniel · 11-06-2006, 10:21 AM

searched it, http://youtube.com/watch?v=dnxRXJ3lGic for BBC. Thought Damien wouldnt sacrifice his music for airtime. Hmmmm....

*edit*
He does say f***ed later on though.

Niko · 11-06-2006, 11:23 AM

Good find, but that isn't the recording I meant. I think I was talking about this session: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EH5Ulp4bxCY

He does Woman Like a Man in this, and you can hear Lisa stop singing at one point when it gets to the first swear.

Wheels · 11-06-2006, 12:33 PM

He does this at kids shows too. It's not sacrificing the music for airtime, just being considerate of his audience.

Niko · 11-06-2006, 12:43 PM

Yeah, the 'Kids' Version' of The Professor is one of my favourite live recordings

just finallly in the middle of watching that. nice stuff.
His cello sound is somewhat scary.

droovin · 11-06-2006, 04:10 PM

i really can't get over how much i love this song. the chorus is just so emphatic. i think it would have worked with any lyrics other than "F**K YOU!" etc. but it just adds that extra bit of angst to it

easily my favourite song on the cd atm
