Alter Bridge

i think ppl look at Alter Bridge more because of the talent in this band. Mark Tremonti imo is the best modern rock guitarist out there right not. Myles Kennedy has a set of pipes that any singer would want.

I think its all about the music, these guys are right on the line between Metal and Modern Rock. Dont get me wrong i love Flaw one of my favorite bands and i'm so stoked about the release of the new album and Chris Volz is juat an amazing singer btw his solo cd was impressive as well.

Possibly. I just don't know. It's one of those mysteries of life, I guess. Haha.

And yes, I love that Flaw is back together. Of course, Five.Bolt.Main was outstanding as well. And Chris' solo album is really good, too. You don't happen to have an MP3 of his cover of that Journey song, do you? It was supposed to be made available for download back after October, I think, but I can't find the place where it was even streaming back then, and I forget what song it was. I know it was really good cover, though.

Outstanding, my man. Guess checking the label site would have made sense, huh? Haha. Good stuff, though. Too bad this track isn't on the album. It's a solid cover.

Thanks, bro!

not a problem my friend...

heres there latest video for the song Ties that Bind

I just got their 1st one from LaLa and it's great as well! This band is the best at what they do, in my opinion. I have very little "corporate rock" in my collection but these guys dominate!

Nah...I've had it for a bit...yeah, there is no better singer on Modern Rock Radio...

Whats ur fav song on the cd? Its hard for me to pick but i like playing along with Blackbird, Buried Alive, One by One, Watch over you, and wayward one..

If you know the Blackbird song tell me what u think of my attempt at the first few mins of the song. I can play the whole song i just dont have the patience to figure out where i have to overdub myself

Alter Bridge is definitely one of the few newer bands that I truly enjoy. Their first album "One Day Remains" had some good songs, but it still had some Creed vibe to it. Tracks like One Day Remains, Metalingus, The End is Here are good tracks.

The new album, "Blackbird", is a leap forward over their first album, which I really enjoyed. Ties that Bind is a great opener. Come to Life is a great song - the sound reminds me a little of Sevendust. Brand New Start is wonderful with a nice solo from Mr. Tremonti. Rise Today is a very good radio friendly tune. Blackbird (just under 8 minutes) rocks well.

The whole album is strong and solid, from start to finish. If you happen to have bought the CD at Best Buy, it includes 2 bonus tracks. The Damage Done is the better song of the two.

The rhythm section is solid and tight. Mark Tremonti's guitar work is better and stronger. He's definitely getting better, which is a great thing to look forward to. Myles Kennedy's vocals are what really gives the songs energy and life. THE GUY CAN SING!

Just putting in my opinion for all to know, but Alter Bridge is a band worth listening to. Give it a try.

Peace.

well said, i think AB should be selling out shows and playing to huge crowds but too many ppl dont know them..

Sounds good!

thanks man

Check out this incredible fan made video of One by One

I really like Alter Bridge. I could see how people lump them into the same group as Daughtry and Nickelback, but Alter Bridge is a little more complex musically in my opinion. They made a good move when they dropped the name "Creed" and Scott Stapp. They really started to go downhill. I mean just watch this video. They needed a new start.

AB is a lot heavier then Daughtry and Nickelback. Given Nickelback has some heavy stuff. That video was a waste of time to make lol. I hope no one thought it was real it was hilarious though.

Check out this version of crazy train i think its the best cover of the song out there. Tremonti is the modern day RR imo///

Well since Blackbird has become my favorite album in a very very long time. I think more people need to hear the epic song Blackbird. This song is up there with some classics like Stairway to Heaven, Highway Song, Hotel California, Bohemian Rhapsody, and the immortal Free Bird.

I didnt think they could get any better than the 1st album but blow me down with a feather duster...............Blackbird is brilliant & like the 1st album i can not find any faults with it.

The vocals are what seperate them from the other new bands out there, IMO.

OK, It is the original Creed with a different singer but I'm a big fan of myles voice! A smart move by Mark to not find a Scott Strapp? Sound alike & continue as Creed. Just my thoughts...........................

i agree Myles vocals are incredible the man has one set of pipes.
