Song information

DOA refers to the medical term "dead on arrival". The song reached number one on Billboard's Hot Modern Rock Tracks chart for six non-consecutive weeks. The cover artwork features an Ampeg Dan Armstrong guitar.

Live Performances

The band claimed it was the hardest song from In Your Honor to play live. "DOA" was played often on the In Your Honor tour and the Echoes Silence Patience and Grace tour. It was played just once on the Wasting Light tour. It was not played again until the Sonic Highways tour in 2015, where it was requested by a group of fans. It hasn't been played live since then.[1]

In other media

"DOA" has also been released as a Rock Band and Rock Band 2 DLC track on Xbox Live and PlayStation Network on December 23, 2008.
