Re: Dear Alter Bridge, please shake things up live

they're rotating the new songs to make place for Blackbird songs. It should be the other way around. If you're not gonna promote your new album, don't call it the 'Fortress' tour. That's the big issue, right here, right there. Alter Bridge is not a nostalgia act yet , and they don't have to play so...

Re: Creed @ Toledo, Ohio - 03-31-2000

If you want to check a song in particular, here is the setlist : Ode Torn Are You Ready? Beautiful Say I In America My Own Prison What If Unforgiven Illusion Faceless Man With Arms Wide Open What's This Life For? The band is on fire, and so is Stapp. I mean, the second half of What's This Life For i...

Re: Proof of Life first week sales predictions

there's nothing wrong with his voice on the album Listen to those exact moments, and you'll hear what's wrong with his voice : - Proof of Life : 0mn49s and 1mn52s - Only One : everytime he says "Lungs" (1mn10s, 2mn31s, 3mn49s) - Dying to Live : 2mn42s (dying to liiiiiiive) - What Would lo...

Dear Alter Bridge, please shake things up live

I've seen many people complain about the recent setlists ebing too Blackbird oriented, so I thought about opening a new thread, in hope that the band may finally take notice. Here I go : "Dear Alter Bridge, you are a great studio band. But live ? Things could be better... Why is that ? Well, yo...

Re: Proof of Life first week sales predictions

No catchy melody ? Are you kidding ? The chorus is easy to remember, plus lyrically, it's like a follow-up to Higher and One Last Breath (or Six Feet from the Edge as many people like to call it). References to Higher : "When you get too high you crash", "Fell off the road to heaven&q...

Re: Proof of Life first week sales predictions

They should have released the main video at least 2 or 3 weeks ago.
I'm also convinced they'll choose a wrong song for the next single. Crash could actually help Stapp's sales, but I'm sure they'll go for Break Out. Then, the album will be doomed for good.

Re: Stapp on New Creed Record

It's not that AB is more complex than Creed, it's that they are just better than Creed ever was. The first 3 Creed albums are legendary, Alter Bridge music may be more complex and hard, but it can never reach the top notch level of Creed. Both bands are great in their own way, but Creed had somethi...

Re: Proof of Life first week sales predictions

@Finaldecision : yes, I can compare. CD's can still sell, it just depends on the artist you're looking at. Just look at Eminem. He was huge in 2000 and sold 1.7 million albums in his first week. He was the biggest thing in rap, whereas Creed was the biggest thing in hard rock. 13 years later, he's s...

Re: Revisiting Full Circle

Time sucks. It never gets to the next level.
A huge disappointment after Faceless Man and Who's Got My Back.
Tremonti's worst epic tune, by far as far as I'm concerned.

Re: Proof of Life first week sales predictions

If you sell 10.000 copies when you have no competition, you'll chart higher, that's what I meant.
Early november is the busiest time of the year, I mean, Eminem has released an album the same week ! No wonder no one cares about Stapp's album in those conditions.

Re: Proof of Life first week sales predictions

Not surprised he's broke. He's still living the high life, but he hasn't had big revenues since 2002. 2009 and 2010 tours probably didn't make much money. In 2009, a lot of arenas were half-filled, and in 2010, the tickets were super cheap. In 2012, they only played amphitheaters. Quite frankly, I'm...

Re: Proof of Life first week sales predictions

Back on subject : the numbers are TERRIBLE so far. 32.25% of the sales have been scanned. Stapp is at n°41 with only 3.000 copies sold ! Basically, he should stay around the 40th spot, and this is my guess, he'll end up selling between 8.000 and 10.000 copies. source : http://www.hitsdailydouble.com...

Re: Proof of Life first week sales predictions

I'm not sure he sold out that much. This record may not be hard rock, but it feels natural for him at his age. He sounds like he's his comfort zone. This was not the case on Full Circle : everything sounded forced on that record, and since they only did it for the money, maybe that's when they all a...

Re: Proof of Life first week sales predictions

I'm loving this album more and more each day. Crash may well be my favourite Stapp solo song. I can't get enough of it. I'm also getting into Only One very much (loving the U2 vibe). I don't care that much about the weak vocals. At first, I did, but not anymore : they're almost part of the charm. I ...

Re: New Stapp Album/Single

I find the album really cathartic. There is a simple, raw emotional sincerity to the album. I have no clue why Slow Suicide has been released as a single. There are many more songs on the album that would be way better for radio like Crash and Only One. Stapps vocals aren't perfect, sure, but I can...
