"Still Counting" is a song by Danish rock band Volbeat. The song was originally released on the band's 2008 release Guitar Gangsters & Cadillac Blood and was later released as a bonus track on certain editions of Beyond Hell/Above Heaven.
"Still Counting" was released as a single in 2012, four years after its initial release on Guitar Gangsters. The song was a hit on American rock radio, reaching No. 1 on the Billboard Mainstream Rock chart, Volbeat's second single to do so.
Critical reception
[edit]Metal Hammer ranked the song at number 44 on their "The 100 greatest metal songs of the 21st century" list, praising its mash-up of "rock'n'roll swagger" and "Metallica-esque thrash metal assault," as both fun.[1]
Music video
[edit]A live music video was produced for the song and was filmed at the House of Blues in Anaheim, California. The music video was directed by Michael Sarna.[2]
