Myles just played Wonderful Life spontaneously, without it being on the setlist. Mark was confused as hell and I was happy as hell.

Nah, unfortunately not. I don't make videos when I'm at concerts because constantly holding my phone in hands and not being able to sing along to not ruin the video makes me enjoy the whole thing considerably less.

Blackbird is the best rock song in history for me. Waters Rising, This Side Of Fate, I Know It Hurts and The Bitter End are all songs I really, really enjoy. Down To My Last is by far the worst song in this set. Blackbird Waters Rising The Bitter End This Side Of Fate I Know It Hurts Down To My Last

... crushing its competition with ease.

Today's setlist: https://www.setlist.fm/setlist/alter-bridge/2019/columbiahalle-berlin-germany-439afb9f.html And some pictures for you guys - we decided to take it a bit slower today in preparation of hopefully getting to the front row on Friday: https://i.imgur.com/XYiUN1rr.jpg https://i.imgur.com/...

Shinedown are using so much playback in these concerts, it's fucking embarrassing for every musician who tries to nail it live every fucking evening. I once was a fan of this band, but I seriously find them nothing but disgusting by now. Also, Brent is unbearably annoying on stage. So full of himsel...

Nice! Mark sang on BID again? :eek Cool that they closed the main set with Metalingus too. How did you like the new songs? Yeah, and it was fucking amazing! He absolutely nailed the high notes (those he could reach). Myles also did less of his vowel-replacement in high notes (e.g. singing "awe...

Setlist for today's gig in Hamburg, Germany: https://www.setlist.fm/setlist/alter-bridge/2019/alsterdorfer-sporthalle-hamburg-germany-639a82db.html Best sound I've ever had in any AB concert that wasn't open air! Both vocals and guitars were very audible. I'll probably write a bit more after tomorro...

It's in a battle with a bunch of extremely strong songs though. Doesn't really say anything about how much the fanbase loves Rise Today.

Calm the Fire will surely win this again, and rightfully so because it's a great song (abw couldn't have put it better). ILM is amazing as well and deeply emotional. However, my vote goes to Wonderful Life. It's not one of their most complex or musically superior songs, but it's beautiful, and one o...

Winner: Broken Wings

... with a huge lead over BTC and Cradle who share the second place. Once again, WTS doesn't get much love here - I'm curious whether we'll even end up with a single one of its songs in the final list.

Totally random but I just realized this: Take The Crown outro = Cauterize outro. Not a bad thing! Can't say I agree. I can understand the association and instrumentally they might be similar, but the Cauterize outro has a very different feeling than the TTC one. Walk Away by Sevendust is the compar...

Songs like Crows On A Wire and White Knuckles over stuff from the new album is pretty weak. At least swap out Waters Rising for Forever Falling. Heck no! White Knuckles is one of their best live songs, it just kicks ass. Waters Rising is superior to Forever Falling as a song on every imaginable lev...

Silvercreed wrote:Why did they stop playing Buried Alive and Burn it Down?
With the exception of new songs, the setlist has been boring. The same songs all over again...

I guess they only played Burn It Down and Broken Wings because of Myles being sick and Mark being most comfortable singing these songs?

Watch Over You was also played non-acoustic for the first time in forever.

Yeah it is funny when bands have opposite popularity in Europe vs. the US. Europe has it right, IMO. Shinedown's music is so boring compared to AB's. Their first two albums were great; after that they've done nothing interesting. Sound of Madness has some really good songs on it, too, but they alre...

Because we want to have a final result at some point. That's why we're repeating these battles whenever a new album comes out.

Broken Wings is one of the most overrated AB songs in my eyes. It's never really evoked any intense emotions in me. Cradle is so much better on every level. I also love Make It Right, but it suffers from being a feel-good song rather than an emotional rollercoaster, which is why it only comes in sec...
