I've been here for a little now but I just saw this so I figured I'd do it. =P
(1.) How did you discover Alter Bridge?
I don't remember exactly but I do remember asking my family for One Day Remains for my birthday in 2005. It was hard to find but I did get it from somewhere. I lost my copy though and I really should get a new one.
(2.) What is the meaning of the username you chose?
I've gone through a tonne of usernames over the years, this is my most recent (which is like 3 years old now actually). I do mash-ups of Slash songs and Axl Rose vocals from Chinese Democracy, and Axl says "nothing's impossible, I'm inconquerable" on the song Scraped and it always stuck out to me.
(3.) How do you spend your free time?
I love spending time with my family and just relaxing. I have time off from university right now but when that starts up I won't have much free time at all, so I'm just enjoying the time I do have right now.
(4.) What is the name of one other band you enjoy other than AB?
Guns N' Roses. They're my favourite band of all time.
(5.) What is the title of the last movie you watched?
I don't actually watch movies that often to be honest. The last one I can remember is Rock of Ages. My Mom wanted to watch it and I was there...what a mistake. We both hated it. Absolute garbage.
(6.) What is something about you that even your closest friends don't know?
Ummm I don't know, I'm pretty open with stuff. I don't think I told many people that I watched Rock of Ages though so I'll go with that. =P

Hey :) My name is Tom and I'm from England. I've been following this forum for a while (it's awesome btw) but have only recently decided to start posting a bit.

(1.) How did you discover Alter Bridge? Was looking for new music on YouTube in 2011 (I think) and thought I'd buy ABIII (which was being advertised heavily on iTunes etc.). Was one of the best choices of my life so far (I'm only 17 :P) and fell in love with AB after a few listens, before getting their other albums.

(2.) What is the meaning of the username you chose? It's my first name and surname initial.

(3.) How do you spend your free time? I'm in Sixth Form (UK) so sadly a lot of schoolwork. Listen to music a lot and love to play and watch tennis and football.

(4.) What is the name of one other band you enjoy other than AB? Aerosmith

(5.) What is the title of the last movie you watched? The Prestige

(6.) What is something about you that even your closest friends don't know? How much I love AB and other music.

See you around... :)

Been on the board for years and just now discovered these questions! Guess its never too late to answer :)
(1.) How did you discover Alter Bridge?
I remember back in 2004 I was watching MTV and they advertised One Day Remains and played jusy the chorus of Open Your Eyes. I instantly fell in love. A few weeks later I heard the full song on our local rock station and knew I had to have the album. I bought it at a Target in Jackson, MS while on a trip with my family. I listened to the whole album straight through on our way home and my life was instantly changed. Ironically Creed was my favorite band at the time and I didn't realize it was the same guys till I had the album a week or two!
(2.) What is the meaning of the username you chose?
Driven Under was the name of my first band in high school. Me and our other guitarist were huge Seether fans so we decided to name the band after one of their song titles. And 4 is my lucky number!
(3.) How do you spend your free time?
I play guitar and sing. LOVE to write my own music. Also a big pop culture buff so I watch alot of television shows, movies, and documentaries. When I'm not doing any of that you can probably find me making a fool of myself by dancing at a local bar. I live to make people laugh and have a good time
(4.) What is the name of one other band you enjoy other than AB?
Love all genres of music and its hard to pick just one band but I'll go with Hurt. Best sounding band I've ever seen live and One of the most artistic and emotional as well
(5.) What is the title of the last movie you watched?
Man on the Moon. Very odd movie but Jim Carrey's acting in it is fantastic.
(6.) What is something about you that even your closest friends don't know?
Hmm.. I'm a pretty open guy. I'm a sucker for a catchy pop song, love Taylor Swift. Also I'm just a figment of your imagination and don't actually exist

I just joined today but I have a feeling that I may have had an account on the old forum. :)

(1.) How did you discover Alter Bridge?
Around 3 or 4 years ago I was a fan of Jeff Hardy so was on YouTube looking at videos. Open Your Eyes was on some sort of tribute video that I randomly found, then I looked up the band and I was absolutely hooked from then on.

(2.) What is the meaning of the username you chose?
It's my name and year of birth :)

(3.) How do you spend your free time?
Online, walking, swimming, reading, looking after my pets.

(4.) What is the name of one other band you enjoy other than AB?
Too many to mention really but 30 Seconds To Mars and Daughtry would be the other main ones.

(5.) What is the title of the last movie you watched?
Despicable Me

(6.) What is something about you that even your closest friends don't know?
No way I would answer a question like that on a public forum! :P
I may not be there yet but I'm closer than I was yesterday...

Hey guys! I was around back in the days of the old board, but figured I need to re-introduce myself anyway.

(1.) Dealing with the (then admittedly silly based on hindsight) shock of Creed breaking up, but learned Mark would pursue another music venture. Shock and awe upon realizing AB is far and away better than anything Creed ever was.
(2.) My last name starts with Hell, and it's my gamertag on XBL, liked hellraiser but didn't want the movie correlation. Play on words was born.
(3.) Freelance graphic/web design, playing music, spending time with my hot wife
(4.) Only one? 'Cuz I could write a damn book.....lol OK, Shinedown.
(5.) Pacific Rim
(6.) I may eventually move out of NY to a much calmer, more serene locale
