Glad you enjoyed it! :) Very no-nonsense setlist. Not a single bad song on it, that's great, but also no surprises except maybe Slip to the Void. Would love to see two songs more, but didn't really expect it. Kind of shocked that they really didn't play Come to Life, but in all honesty, I've seen it...

Can't wait for the setlist! We'll only go to Berlin this time (went to Hamburg, Berlin and Leipzig during the first leg of the WTS tour), I really, REALLY hope we won't miss anything spectacular tonight. Would be devastated if they played Fable tonight, but not in Berlin Wish you lots of fun!

You're right, silly me used Notepad to compare the words and didn't realise that it uses a monospace font by default. And that's coming from a software developer. :'D I really, REALLY can't imagine them not playing WOY, but I agree that I don't really see a slot for it in this setlist... Edit: So ap...

Agreed with This Is War and Isolation. Taking the tunings into account is a good idea! Since we can't see everything, I'd guess that #2 is Addicted to Pain. Waters Rising could be one of those theoretically, potentially Native Son at #3, #4 doesn't really look like Pawns And Kings to me because the ...

Gosh dang it, the first quiet delivery of the 'I hope it's worth it all in the end though you know it's hard for me to pretend' in Last Man Standing gives me goose bumps. That's classic AB. Further cemented as classic AB because Mark breaks out the wah for his solo, that's the sound. That's one of ...

I was actually surprised how good ATP felt as a closer during the WTS tour; they had these smoke machines (if that's what they're called) that had an amazing synergy with the main riff. However, I'm definitely not against a different closer, just don't think there's anything on P&K that would be...

Yeah, Silver Tongue is the most likely choice based on what they've said before, and based on the kind of songs they tend to open with. Sin After Sin is a very slow, sluggish song that wouldn't work as an opener at all imo.

My estimation is that they won't start to play Fable before 2023 because they might need more time for rehearsal before they feel comfortable with it.

Mark has confirmed 12 songs to be pretty much mandatory for the upcoming tour in this interview : Metalingus, Blackbird, Watch Over You, Isolation, Rise Today, Addicted to Pain, The Other Side (because Edge's used it as his theme song in WWE for a while), Cry of Achilles and the four singles from P&...

Can someone lay out all the time signature changes in Last Man Standing? I guess you can count the pre-chorus in different ways. What feels most "natural" to me right now is the following: 7/8 7/8 9/8 7/8 9/8 You could just as well add two 2/8 cadences and change the 9/8 to 7/8. That said...

Current song "ranking" (or, rather, classification) based on a few listens: Amazing Fable of the Silent Son - What a musical journey. Possibly and likely a top 3/top 5 AB track. Great Last Man Standing - I fucking love the odd timings (and everything else about this song). Silver Tongue - ...

Heard it for the first time just now because I had (and wanted) to wait for my musical soulmate to come back from vacation (we always have our first listen of a new album together). Very, very pleasantly surprised! Not a single really weak song on the album, which is a massive improvement over every...

Does AB have a chorus that isn't just exactly repeated 2-3 times? The final choruses are sometimes somewhat different but those are in minority. They've got some variations on many of them, yeah. But that's not my big gripe with this one, it's that it's sixteen bars of the same root note, and they'...

I'm so fucking disappointed right now. The atmosphere is great, the main riff is interesting, I like the verse and the bridge. Slightly put off that there's no solo, but that's fine. But damn, that chorus. Great potential, BUT IT'S SO INCREDIBLY DULL AND BORING! There's absolutely no fucking variati...

Holy shit, Marching In Time is amazing, a truly epic masterpiece, and definitely the best song him or Alter Bridge have put out since Cauterize/Fortress. Providence so far has been my favourite Tremonti song by far, but this is either on the same level or even surpasses it. I'm at a loss of words, r...

This one's not even close. New Way To Live is one of the best songs they've ever written. Shame it's only a B-Side.

Track 14 Winner: Words Darker Than Their Wings The Last Blackbird Fortress Remains The Sky III.5 (that name is even more ridiculous than last time.) 01. Cry Of Achilles 02. Isolation 03. Ghost Of Days Gone By 04. Lover 05. Metalingus 06. Broken Wings 07. Calm The Fire 08. Blackbird 09. Show Me A Si...

Thanks for explaining, Schulzy!

I know I'm in the minority here. Forgive me for being blunt - WDTTW and Dying Light do nothing for me. I find them rather bland. The Damage Done got my vote. Please don't take this as a personal attack or anything like that, it's really just out of curiosity - how is it possible to be an Alter Brid...
