This was the first time the Tauber version of "Rock Brigade" appeared anywhere, which left "Glad I'm Alive" as the only song from those sessions to remain hidden. Unused promotional videos for "Wasted" and "Rock Brigade", filmed in London in the fall of 1979, surfaced on YouTube in 2009 when they were uploaded by the director of the clips. A re-recording of "Hello America" subsequently became the band's first single heralding the arrival of On Through the Night. Two other songs, " Rock Brigade" (also re-recorded for On Through the Night) and "Glad I'm Alive", were recorded during the session but were shelved when the band's management were displeased with the production, thus resulting in the "Wasted" b/w "Hello America" 7" single rather than the planned 4-song EP. The record was produced by Nick Tauber, who the band selected because of his previous clients, particularly Thin Lizzy. These alternative, single-only versions of "Wasted" and "Hello America" had never been released on CD, until 2018 when they were included as part of The Collection: Volume One box set, as the first two tracks of the "Rarities - Volume One" disc. The B-Side on the single is "Hello America", which is also a different recording from the LP. The recording featured on the single is a different version from the On Through the Night LP. It was released as a single before the band recorded their debut album, On Through the Night. I’ve got other things, I’ve got the tour, I’ve got my son, so I’m glad that I’ve already spent some time on the next project.”Īll of Wallen’s music can be found at ." Wasted" is a song by English rock band Def Leppard. I’m confident in whatever I do next already. “I’ve already got 12 songs finished, maybe more,” Wallen said earlier this year. 1 single, with “You Proof,” and is back at radio with “ Thought You Should Know,” both songs from his forthcoming new album. But it’s definitely something I’ve been thinking about.” “I haven’t completely figured out what I want my show to be like in that setting. “I don’t have anything set in stone, but we’ve been snooping around the stadiums,” Wallen reveals on Country Countdown USA.
With the success of The Dangerous Tour, Wallen hints next year’s tour, which has yet to be finalized, might include some even bigger venues than those he played in this year. And I feel like if we did just stay true to who I knew I really was, that we would come out all right.” But we tried to keep my sight set on better things. But that was definitely a really difficult time. “I feel like I’m a pretty resilient person and I’m a pretty happy person, in general. “It got pretty dark for sure,” Wallen admits to SiriusXM’s Storme Warren. Although his career seems to have recovered, including selling out large arenas all over the country on his The Dangerous Tour, Wallen admits that chapter of his life was anything but easy. Wallen, whose previous single, “ Sand In My Boots” also landed at the top of the charts, wasn’t able to celebrate the release of Dangerous: The Double Album as he anticipated, after a video surfaced of him uttering a racial slur. “I wanted to experiment a little bit on this album and that’s one of the songs that I did the most on, I would say.” “I told my producer it seemed like something was missing, so we added a little bit extra,” Wallen recalled, adding that they added a different feel to the chorus, which might have blurred the genre lines of country music just a bit. His instincts were right, which is the version that is now a mega-hit at radio. We originally wrote it with just a guitar vocal, and we brought it in to my producer and to the band that we record with, and they took it in a direction a little similar to the guitar vocal.”Īfter the original version of “Wasted On You” was completed, the Tennessee native thought it needed something more to make the song really stand out. “It just came from a pretty, almost like a p–ed off place,” Wallen said (via Lyric magazine). Wallen co-wrote “Wasted On You” in the beginning of the pandemic, when everyone was forced to stay home. Smith, Josh Thompson and Ryan Vojtesak is the fourth single from Wallen’s ambitious, 30-track Dangerous: The Double Album project, released in early 2021. 1 with “Wasted On You” earlier this year.
