It should have been Abracadabra then Vanish Into You. I truly believe that, had it been a single, VIY would have become more beloved/associated with LG than Edge of Glory or Marry The Night. It is THE big, sweeping, epic love anthem from MAYHEM. They fumbled it, I must say. Funny enough I agree. I love Disease (my fav on the album actually)... but as a single it was doomed to fail tbh... too bizzare and intense. VIY in place of Disease may have made sense. But then Id do Abra as the lead instead, followed by VIY next 3 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

But then Id do Abra as the lead instead, followed by VIY next Sometimes when I listen to Disease (which I don't do very often, for some reason) I imagine it as an album track; a song to be "stumbled upon" within the tracklist, rather than one that was pushed w a video. Weirdly, doing so makes me like it much more. I actively root for it (& get hyped up by it) as an album track, rather than feeling put-off by it as a single. How bizarre, how bizarre 🎶 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Its my fav song from Mayhem but i dont listen to it as much lately. I listen to Abra more and other songs i liked a lot like The Beast and BOG i listened to more Disease is amazing but it doesnt have the highest replay value ever. My previous fav Gaga song (Ill Never Love Again) also didnt have amazing replay value for me either Its interesting. Often the best songs seem like the have to be treasured by accessing them periodically and not ruining them by over playing I can listen to Applause or Poker Face 10 or 20 times in a day if I want to but id get sick and tired if it did it with INLA. Yet INLA is the superior song for me but gets tiring quicker I cant always listen to Disease as much as Abracadabra but Disease is still the superior song to me tbh Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

It may have also been selected to set a vibe for the album The fact they promoted Abracadabra way harder i think shows they always knew Disease wasnt gonna smash and maybe it was never the intention I still think not releasing HBDYWM as a final single was a missed oppurtunity but all good. We got 4 singles this era which tbh is rare nowadays and pretty much a best case scenario 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dunno. Feel everyone was seriously over estimating the halloween effect It mainly boosts songs a lot for only 1-2 days and its predominantly for songs already classically associated with halloween (ex Thriller, Bloody Mary) If the timing was more perfect for Disease with Halloween maybe it would have made a marginal difference. Probably not more than that tbh 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
OMF 3,580 Posted April 18 Share Posted April 18 7 hours ago, AVeryGagaHolyDick said: My guess is that they released Disease because it was darker and fit with JFAD and maybe they hoped it would pull a Bloody Mary or at the very least, hype the OG fans which it did But to let VIY rot? What were they thinking This. And regardless of what Gaga said about choosing Dead Dance for Wednesday I feel a few of the songs on Mayhem were made inspired by Joker 2 as well as written for potentially Wednesday. Like how some tracks on Joanne felt like they would have been in the ASIB album. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
