Yeah it was a little disappointing that it was only 15. I was looking forward to Pawns and Kings. A really great show, but a little disappointed that the encore was only one song.

Speaking of other songs being heard in the mix, strong Calm the Fire vibes from the outro.

Not sure if this has been stated already but do we know who's song this is? I always love playing that game. Myles bringing heavy riffs and Mark constantly bringing mellow tracks has made the guessing game more difficult last couple album cycles. Good point. I'd guess Myles but only because of the ...

Myles has been singing about social justice and generally left-leaning politics since the 'Cure Me With The Groove' days. And based on Michael Tremonti's Twitter, he gone pretty far right. If Myles and Michael can co-exist in the AB family, so can everyone here. (I got a ton of shit for posting abo...

Myles is slaughtering these vocals. That bridge is incredible. So impressed with what he’s doing on this record. Everything flows nicely and it sounds huge. They’ve stepped it up. Lyrics are 100% from Trump’s perspective on Jan 6. Yeah it's fairly clear. Music-wise. I love the bridge and the vocals...

Don't know if it's been mentioned or brought up, but are the lyrics about the insurrection?

This might have been discussed before so sorry if it's covering old ground: In the solo of Love Can Only Heal, between 4:29 and 4:46, behind the lead guitar a high note comes into the background noise. It stays on one note for a while, drops lower at 4:40 and back up at 4:42. Definitely because of ...

Shout out to the last three lines in Cry of Achilles and how the backing vocals in between the lines makes the ending extremely epic!

Either that or just a greedy, self-centered, self-absorbed person. Yep, could be that too. For some reason I don't often see Alter Bridge songs as being about individuals or personal relationships (except for obvious ones) but more about world issues. I'm wrong more than I'm right, though, I'd guess.

I agree Bleed It Dry is a bit odd to listen to lyrically. But I do like it and it's catching on with me. I also agree that it's not neccessarily about the earth per se but on a broader level, the world economy. I don't think it even regards class, abw, I don't see the lyrics as regarding the rich an...

This is a really good album. I think a 9 at the moment but only because a few songs haven't caught with me yet. Favourite tracks are Cry of Achilles, Fortress, Farther Than The Sun, All Ends Well and Calm The Fire. I also really like the solo in Bleed It Dry. Right now there's a few tracks in the mi...

Loving the song and trying not to listen too much so I don't wear it out before the album hits. On first listen, I wasn't sure but now the song is stuck in my head and I'm more familiar with the little bits I didn't like - they've worked their way into me liking them a lot. Plus points are: - The ly...

Dont know if this means anything at all but under the Harmonies & Backing Vocals there are doodles of 4 faces (much like Myles has been doodled under Main Vocals). Could this mean more than Mark and Myles contributing to backing vocals?

Anyway, too excited about strings and synths. Bring it.

I believe he has one on the wall in his bathroom that when he takes off to play on the toilet, uses the bracket to hang up his trousers... because Slash is that sorta guy

It seems strange to me that Myles wouldn't want to do it, considering he works with Slash, where the setlists are alot more flexible, and could possibly be more vocally demanding, I would have expected him to be the most flexible in terms of wanting to change about the setlist? Slash's setlists hav...

More simplicity. The "layered" stuff they had in ABIII was all very well but they let their classic melodies die for some heavier riffs and layers. More simplicity, more acoustic guitar. Take a few steps back.
