lazy with their songwriting? definitely do not agree with that. maybe the style or subject doesnt appeal to you, but that doesnt take away from the songwriting. i think AB's songwriting is fantastic. not to cliche, sometimes takes a few listens to interpret. thats my biggest problem with bands like...

Nice to see some rational discussion going on around here. I agree that there are increasingly significant problems with both the in-studio and live aspects of Alter Bridge's output over the last few years, and though I'm not bothered by the in-studio issues as much as others are, I'd love to see t...

My impression is that they have the producer that has overall creative control, after the band of course, then the responsibility of the technical side of mixing goes to the mix engineer. It's probably just a case of Brian Sperber doing the tedious work of getting the levels right etc. Of course I d...

Hey abw1987, I know what you're saying. I totally agree that the guys in the band are happy with the way the records turned out. I'm not arguing against that. I also know that Elvis doesn't influence the live shows directly but with the songs from ABIII containing so many layers and effects it means...

Well... yeah... but, you know!

The producer has a much bigger effect than you'd think. If someone isn't there to suggest adding something in the first place, or champion a certain approach then you get a very very different product. I've produced with a couple of bands, although granted it's nothing compared to Elvis's back catal...

Sweet. Never heard that one. Don't really like the song but the solo is pure Tremonti. I've added it to the list.

RAGNAROCK - 3:00-4:30


Holy shit! That is all

Try living in the UK. The cheapest I could get the special edition was $65!!! I love Tremonti but I just don't have the disposable income to be spending that on ONE album.

What was up with the tuning on that show anyway? They all some massively out of wack. Especially Come to Life.

Oh and I also really love the old bridge/solo section of the old Come To Life version. Much more soul and melody to that solo and the way Myles sings "Don't forget we're here to staaahaayyy C'mon" is just kick arse. I suppose it's inevitable that the first version you hear of something is ...

I remember reading it was heavily revised in the pre-production phase. It was given a much more traditional structure in my opinion. Plus why sideline that awesome intro riff to just one pre-chorus?

S'alright.

We're really talking about ABiV already? Wow. Times flies. You are not funny in any way. Excuse me?.. Please point out to me which part of my post was intended to be a joke of any form? Be quiet. I took it as a sophisticated sarcasm No, I won't be quiet, you won't tell me what to do. Now this is fu...

It's pretty cool to listen to "Buried Alive" & "Come toLife" for example, and see how far the tracks themselves have progressed...from the concepts posted here, to the recorded versions and eventually the evolved monsters they play LIVE now. Very cool, thanks. I love love lo...

Where is Myles on that Fozzy track? His voice is incredibly low in the mix. He sings the "I am nameless. I am faceless." bits. This was recorded at the same time as ODR, in the same studio I believe, so it's very early Myles and a bit grittier. It sounds like he is singing both octaves yo...

Oh and here's hoping for Breath, Cruel Sun and Solace one day. Didn't we also hear about a Blackbird b-side that never came out as well? It was called Outright or something, although I think they said it might have turned into something that made ABIII. I would give me right arm for a recording of O...

Wow thanks abw1987. I've added those to the initial post now. Makes me remember just how amazing they were in the smaller venues.

Just thought I'd post a collection of B-sides and rarities in roughly chronoligical order for some of our younger members and new converts. Loadsa material here that you're not gonna get from just buying the albums. Please post any other rarities or noteworthy performances you may have. I know there...

Hi guys. Here's what I've managed to piece together of the lyrics from all the previews. Alot of it may be wrong and the highlighted ones I really don't know what Tremo is yammering about but hope you enjoy and discuss. Man I really missed Tremonti lyrics, I feel much better now. 01 - LEAVE IT ALONE...
