Re: Up The Irons \m/

No band ever has been so great for so long as Iron Maiden. 17 studio albums, 10 of which are fantastic top to bottom, and the greatest live album ever: Live After Death. (yes, of course this is opinion) Seeing Maiden live somewhere in South America with those insane fans would be a bucket list item...

Re: Video Game Bonanza!

I've gone on quite the gaming binge in the last 15 months after taking it easy for a few years due to having young kids. Elden Ring, Dark Souls remaster and Dark Souls 2, Metroid Dread, every major Resident Evil game (including Revelations and the old versions of 2 and 3, but not the remake of 4 yet...

Re: Pawns & Kings (Alter Bridge - VII)

Something about P&K's mixing makes it sound terrible in my car. My car's factory speakers no doubt suck, but most music still sounds fine on it. P&K sounds super muddy however; even more so than a typical AB album. I'm listening to it right now for the first time on my mixing speakers at my ...

Re: Alter Bridge - VII

I stand by what I said 4 years ago. Work with a producer who will push you to do new things. Don't bring any riff, and write full songs in a room, as a band. Take risks. But they never listen to constructive criticiscm, and still think Elvis is fantastic, so why even bother? Joe Satriani did this o...

Yep, I see no need to make demands on these guys. That's why they're one of my favorite bands. Just let them deliver whatever it is they feel like makes a good AB7 album.

Re: Confessions At The Alter

1. I hadn't even heard of Alter Bridge because I don't pay much attention to music culture. I'm pretty sure I had at least known that Creed was broken up. My brother new I liked Creed a good bit and he's much more attuned to pop culture than me and bought me the album for my birthday. 2. Not long af...

Re: Alter Bridge/Creed/Mark Tremonti Tuning Master List

While I agree with the majority of your additions, these few I would disagree on; ... For "Words..." Mark is tuned to Db Gb Db Gb Ab Db (you can hear that ringing Ab during the verse while he frets the A note on the 3rd fret of the 3rd string), and for Dying Light he is tuned to Open Gb-m...

Re: Video Game Bonanza!

I remember reading an import review of Demon's Souls before it hit the states and the game sounded great. I picked it up immediately when it released without worrying about reading other reviews which was a rarity for me. I still haven't played Sekiro myself... no time lately with a 2 and 3 year old...

Re: Video Game Bonanza!

I played the original Halo when I was a kid and basically grew up on that series. I was young at the time but I do remember it. The original DOOM…wasn’t around at the time of its heyday but I have played through the original one. The shotgun that shoots forever is a classic. Yeah, the Doom single b...

Re: What songs do you use to introduce Alter Bridge to new people?

Watch Over You – a ballad about drug use; did quite well as a crossover single in 2007 Watch Over You is about drug use? I never would have guessed that. I guess we should ask ourselves how we got into Alter Bridge. I discovered them for many reasons that all came together. First, in 2019 I bought ...

Re: Alternate track listings for the albums

The only album order which I can recall disagreeing with at all was Walk the Sky. I really hate One Life as an opener. I think In the Deep would have made a much better opener. They could have done almost anything after that. I don't like One Life as an opener either. But, I wanted to keep the same...

Still playing Slay the Spire. They've released what they've said is the final patch and that patch has made it's way even to the mobile versions. Highly recommended! The game was good in early access Beta, but in it's final form it is just sublime. Also, my new Switch OLED arrives tomorrow (my old o...

Re: Hypothetical AB VII - The Ides Of Marching In Time

To do it right you actually have to mix the songs together. Slow some down, speed some up, pitch shift into the same key:
