Re: Pawns & Kings (Alter Bridge - VII)

So 4 of 10 songs released before the actual album release.... gross.. But that's the world we live in now Actually it isn’t the world we live in. Plenty of bands release only 1 or 2 songs prior to the release. But then again, I do not criticize AB’s strategy. For what it’s worth, I will really try ...

Re: Pawns & Kings (Alter Bridge - VII)

Do you think Myles and Mark will be doing those press 'tours' in Europe? Where they do all those interviews and all, or it's just a 'nah' because of covid? There aren't any restrictions at all here in the UK. Not sure about other countries. No restrictions at all here in Switzerland as well. And I’...

I think it would have been revealed in the marketing announcement of the album if there was an instrumental. You know the text that described all songs on the album

Re: Pawns & Kings (Alter Bridge - VII)

This song, to me, is a Mark song throughout.

P&K however, is mainly a Myles song in my
opinion. I say mainly as Mark probably contributed to the songwriting but I believe Myles is the one who brought the bull of P&K on the table, while Mark brought Silver tongue to the table

Re: Pawns & Kings (Alter Bridge - VII)

Yeah really cool song!

Just a shame about no solo in this case imo and no mark harmonies. I usually am fine with double Myles bit this one would sound great with some mark harmonies. TLH had plenty of mark harmonies idk why not anymore

Re: Pawns & Kings (Alter Bridge - VII)

Sorry guys, I seem to love that song. I've read the comments first and didn't have high expectations but they were easily exceeded. For a radio single I think that is an excellent song, love the riff and find the chorus catchy and heavy at the same time - way better than Poison in your Veins imo wh...

Re: Pawns & Kings (Alter Bridge - VII)

Love the song. Really cool. One of their strongest chorus for a single in my opinion! But my god does it lack a solo at the end !! Epic missed opportunity here imo. If a band member reads this : you guys could shred on that chorus at the end during gigs! Would be epic I feel Overalls really solid so...

Re: Pawns & Kings (Alter Bridge - VII)

They’ll probably release This Is War as the third song since it has single artwork printed on one of the pieces of band merch on their web store. That’ll probably be released in early to mid September. And if history repeats itself; I’d expect a 4th track released in early October around a week or ...

Re: Pawns & Kings (Alter Bridge - VII)

I hope it's the last, dilutes the album release day vibe if you've got 30%/40% already. I find it also affects what I listen to after the albums released, as if I've played them death before the album comes out they may get skipped more often. Honestly unrealistic that it will be the last. I think ...

Re: Pawns & Kings (Alter Bridge - VII)

With the promo of silver tongue on AB social channels, it seems silver tongue is indeed the next (or first true) single, coming out on August 2nd seemingly. That’s only 2 weeks after P&K. I really hope that after Silver tongue we don’t get another single before mid September, and then nothing el...

Re: Pawns & Kings (Alter Bridge - VII)

The time signature changes and the tempo changes are independent. It's just that in this song Gojira chose to switch both of those at the same time. Not really sure which sections are you referring to but at 0:55 you have a time signature (from 4/4 to 9/8 I believe) AND a tempo change (from 152 to ...

Re: Pawns & Kings (Alter Bridge - VII)

I just noticed that the songwriting credits for the new song is just Myles and Mark, at least on Apple Music. Which I found weird because all songwriting credits in all previous albums is the whole band. Why this sudden change ? Did Brian and Scott not contribute AT ALL on this song ? I find this ha...

Re: Pawns & Kings (Alter Bridge - VII)

i'm confused, are we pretty sure this is a tremonti song? or do i have it backwards? edit: wait i think i got it - it's a kennedy song and mark brought in a different song called 'king' :peace Yeah, to me the songwriting and sound is a lot like The Last Hero (the song) which was a Myles song. That’...

Re: Pawns & Kings (Alter Bridge - VII)

Realistically...with the number of people who are listening to music through streaming services, isn't rock radio largely useless in 2022 anyway? Why even try to chase the "radio single" when you can just put out your best song and have an equally likely chance of having any meaningful su...

Re: Pawns & Kings (Alter Bridge - VII)

So have we heard about bonus track yet for this album? We know they recorded 12 songs so might be 2 bonus tracks. Also please someone correct me if I’m wrong, but did WTS have bonus track(s)? And last thing : I love the new song. Really what I was looking to hear from AB for this album. However lis...

Re: Pawns & Kings (Alter Bridge - VII)

I’m enjoying the single, listened twice so far. I like the lyrics, very biblical at times, has to be written by Mark. It’s an odd blend of dark/light with heavy elements but also comes off kind of mellow at the same time. It works. Also like the throwbacks on the cover, the bridge and the little Bl...

Re: Pawns & Kings (Alter Bridge - VII)

Finally managed to listen to the single. My God it’s good. Really reeeeaally liking this. Straight out Banger of a song. Already better than any song on Walk The Sky in my opinion.
If I had to compare it to another AB song, I’d say it’s the brother of The Last Hero (the song)

Re: Pawns & Kings (Alter Bridge - VII)
