Mickalino Posted October 12, 2010 Share Posted October 12, 2010 I went all the way to Target today and they didn't have the new AB. They said new releases come on Tuesday. But I told them it was due out today, the 11th. And they said, sorry, come back tomorrow. What happened ? Should I have gone to Best Buy ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Spaceman Spiff Posted October 13, 2010 Share Posted October 13, 2010 I don't understand why this would be released nearly a month later in the States? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Commander PK Posted October 17, 2010 Author Share Posted October 17, 2010 http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6wctPh4YmvU&feature=related Track #1. The song starts out really brooding, but then kicks in to a great riff.The more I listen to this one, the beginning reminds me of the mystical side of Led Zep. "No Quarter" comes to mind. Maybe an influence Myles brought from working with Jimmy Page last year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Commander PK Posted October 17, 2010 Author Share Posted October 17, 2010 I don't understand why this would be released nearly a month later in the States? This band has become huge in Europe, but the U.S. has not really warmed up to them. A lot of their problem in the U.S. has been some people just will not give them a chance because 3/4 of the band are in Creed, even though they sound nothing like Creed. Alter Bridge is much heavier/hard rock, and Myles Kennedy is a completely different vocalist and musician from Scott Stapp. His range and guitar playing adds a completely different element to Alter Bridge. As for the release date in Europe a month early, they are probably just trying to let the European crowd get the word out on the album, and try to build up some momentum for the U.S. release. I haven't seen one negative review of the album yet. The track"Wonderful Life" is a great rock ballad, and should probably be released as a single.

Mickalino Posted November 9, 2010 Share Posted November 9, 2010 Wow, it was only $7.99 at Best Buy !! That's the lowest I've ever paid for a brand new CD release. Actually it's the lowest I've ever paid for a non-used CD !! I know the internet music has probably brought CD prices down, but $7.99 is actually less than what you would pay if you bought all the songs individually off of iTunes !! Yet another reason to love AB !! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Commander PK Posted November 14, 2010 Author Share Posted November 14, 2010 The album is phenomenal, I really like the darker tone. Alter Bridge just keep getting better. Mark Tremonti is a next generation Eddie Van Halen. He's an incredible player. This band has a great gift for melody and hooks, with the technical chops to back it up. Kennedy's vocal abilities just continue to amaze me. The guy has a range just completely uncommon from today's rock singers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TradeTheBeal! Posted November 14, 2010 Share Posted November 14, 2010 Mark Tremonti is a next generation Eddie Van Halen. Dude, chill. Tremonti can't carry Tipton's jock, much less EVH. He is quite good though, I look forward to schooling him at RockCamp in about ten years. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He is quite good though, I look forward to schooling him at RockCamp in about ten years. I think Tremonti is a similar player to Eddie, not that he is better. Eddie is one of a kind, but he reminds me of Eddie because of his song writing abilities and technical chops. Tremonti and Kennedy are really turning out to be a great song writing duo. There isn't a dud on any of their albums. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Commander PK Posted November 18, 2010 Author Share Posted November 18, 2010 Debuts at #17 on Billboard Chart. Not bad for the U.S. release. Also #3 Rock Album, #2 Hard Rock Album. I have a new favorite song from this album. "Isolation" crushes, but I keep clicking on this one. "Words darker than their Wings" "Wonderful Life" needs to be a single from this album. When people start hearing that song, this album will blow up. Book it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Commander PK Posted November 18, 2010 Author Share Posted November 18, 2010 Where's the patriotism ?All these tour dates for other countries and nothing for the U.S. ? Bob Seger wouldn't do that They have American dates. They are playing Rams Head live in Baltimore on December 16th, and I know they have a few others. Sadly, I don't think I will be able to make the show on the 16th. I have to work. and your right about Bob. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Commander PK Posted June 29, 2011 Author Share Posted June 29, 2011 Wanted to bump this thread. I just observed on I-Tunes that the album has 755 reviews, and ranks 5 stars. On amazon, 72 reviews have been submitted and the album has a 4.5 star rating. Wiki has links to numerous reviews and all are positive. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/AB_III If you haven't picked this one up yet, do yourself a favor and get it.

drtdrums Posted June 29, 2011 Share Posted June 29, 2011 Yeah, it's very solid. Another excellent album from them. I'd give it 5 stars, but I have to give Blackbird 5.1. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Skin'emAlive Posted June 29, 2011 Share Posted June 29, 2011 This is a pretty good album. But i dont think it is as good as the first two... Definitely a good pickup though! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Commander PK Posted June 30, 2011 Author Share Posted June 30, 2011 I don't know. I've thoroughly enjoyed all 3 of their albums, but I really think they took it to another level on this one. I think each album has been better than it's predecessor. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
