Commander PK Posted September 14, 2010 Share Posted September 14, 2010 Alter Bridge III will be out on 10/11/10. America has largely missed the boat on these guys, dismissing them because of their connections to Creed. The fact is, you will be hard pressed to find much better NEW heavier hard rock anywhere than these guys. They bring it big time. Here is some proof "Isolation" http://www.roadrunnerrecords.co.uk/page/News?news_id=100106 Track Listing: Track 1) Slip To The Void Track 2) Isolation Track 3) Ghost Of Days Gone By Track 4) All Hope Is Gone Track 5) Still Remains Track 6) Make It Right Track 7) Wonderful Life Track 8 I Know It Hurts Track 9) Show Me A Sign Track 10) Fallout Track 11) Breathe Again Track 12) Coeur D’Alene Track 13) Life Must Go On Track 14) Words Darker Than Their Wings www.alterbridge.com Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Commander PK Posted September 14, 2010 Author Share Posted September 14, 2010 Direct Youtube link. If this song is any indication, this album is going to rip. What a monster riff and solo from Tremonti. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mickalino Posted September 14, 2010 Share Posted September 14, 2010 If this song is any indication, this album is going to rip. If their last 2 CD's were any indication, this album is going to rip Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Commander PK Posted September 14, 2010 Author Share Posted September 14, 2010 Interesting. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/AB_III The band has stated on several occasions that AB III is a very dark album, both musically and lyrically. In an exclusive "Guitarist Uncut" interview with MusicRadar, Myles Kennedy stated that the album will be very dark lyrically, and said that it "deals with a lot of doubts," and that musically, there are "moments that have that intensity and have that darkness to it."[13] Mark Tremonti said in a later interview, "I think that the album is a reflection of what was going on in our lives and heads at the moment. It's a moody record. Lyrically, our singer Myles Kennedy took in it the direction of his struggles with faith and believing. Not to put words in his mouth, but his father died at a young age and Myles has difficulty believing in anything. But, there are positive songs on the record as well. But overall, it's a darker, moodier record."[14]According to a press release posted on Alter Bridge's MySpace page and website, the lyrics on AB III shift away from the themes of "hope and perseverance in the face of adversity" on the first two albums. Kennedy said, "This record is definitely a departure from the last two albums in terms of its subject matter. It touches on the thoughts and emotions of someone who has come to question everything that was once regarded as an absolute truth. It's the realization that everything you once believed in might not exist." The article also states that the album is somewhat of a concept record, a first for Alter Bridge, and is about a character "desperately struggling to find their place in a world steeped in doubt and emptiness," but that there are songs that touch on other emotions, such as "Wonderful Life".

Commander PK Posted September 14, 2010 Author Share Posted September 14, 2010 true that Mickalino. I haven't disliked anything they have done yet. This is their third album. The third album is usually the deciding factor if a band breaks into the next level or not, as far as sales and exposure anyway. Recent examples are Shinedown's "The Sound of Madness." They won't be opening for anybody else again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mickalino Posted September 14, 2010 Share Posted September 14, 2010 I wonder why they chose 10/11/10 as the release date and not 10/10/10 ? I mean, it's supposed to be a "dark" CD, isn't it ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mickalino Posted October 2, 2010 Share Posted October 2, 2010 10/11 cannot come soon enough. I am counting the days, hours, minutes, seconds. Pray, I pray thee, that the day comes soon. Please God, let AlterBridge III come out before the end of the world occurs ! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BRAVEONTHEWARPATH93 Posted October 2, 2010 Share Posted October 2, 2010 Only songs I know of them are Metalingus (WWE Superstar Edge's theme) and Open Your Eyes from Madden, but these guys are pretty tough Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mickalino Posted October 2, 2010 Share Posted October 2, 2010 They've only put out 2 CD's thus far, but on either one, there's not a single bad song. You can't really lose with AlterBridge, even if you've only heard one song. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

drtdrums Posted October 3, 2010 Share Posted October 3, 2010 =) I can't explain how much I like these guys. If they top Blackbird, I may as well put the rest of my music collection in storage for a couple of years. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TradeTheBeal! Posted October 3, 2010 Share Posted October 3, 2010 Decent band, but seriously Porcupine Tree just destroys these guys. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UlstlmD6ORs&feature=related Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Skin'emAlive Posted October 3, 2010 Share Posted October 3, 2010 Porcupine Tree is good. But they dont have the vocals of myles. Not even close. But they are better with technical stuff. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
drtdrums Posted October 3, 2010 Share Posted October 3, 2010 Apples and coconuts. I honestly can't get into Porcupine Tree because of the vocals although they're very much like what I otherwise listen to (Karnivool, Katatonia, etc) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mickalino Posted October 4, 2010 Share Posted October 4, 2010 Yea, I don't see how Porcupine Tree tops AB, or is even in the same musical category as them. I don't see the comparison. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spaceman Spiff Posted October 4, 2010 Share Posted October 4, 2010 I might have to check these guys out. I've photographed Myles twice this year while taking pics of Slash....dude is an impressive vocalist and if Slash has him along to front his touring band, he must be doing something right.

I've photographed Myles twice this year while taking pics of Slash....dude is an impressive vocalist and if Slash has him along to front his touring band, he must be doing something right. "Blackbird" When he hits the chorus for the first time, it's unbelievable. "Let the wind carry you home...Blackbird fly away...may you NEVER be broken again..." This song really resonated with me, as my grandfather lost his battle with cancer a few months before this album came out. 3 years later, and this song still gives me chills every time.
