I've come up with a few hypothetical scenarios for the Alter Bridge universe, and I would like to share one and see what people think would happen.
Imagine this. Myles is sick for a show and can't sing. And I'm not talking Columbus 2019 sick, where he sounded bad and gave Mark to sing some songs in order to help him recover. I'm talking he's completely lost his voice and is unable to sing, and they can't cancel the show. What do you think they would do to make up for Myles not being able to sing?
EDIT to clarify: Myles can still play guitar.

Re: Hypothetical Scenarios - Sick Myles
a) Instrumental set - Least likely option
b) shorter acoustic set with Mark on lead vocals - less likely option
c) regular length set with Mark doing lead vocal duties on every song he feels comfortable singing in his range but they also have practiced enough to play live - likely option
d) cancel the show - most likely option even though you said they can't

Re: Hypothetical Scenarios - Sick Myles
Was it Burn It Down and Broken Wings that Mark sang a few years back? I reckon he could pull off a lot of the One Day Remains album.maximzub wrote: ↑Sun Oct 16, 2022 11:41 pmWhat could be those songs?SHEAKENBAKEN wrote: ↑Sun Oct 16, 2022 10:56 pmoption

Re: Hypothetical Scenarios - Sick Myles
I know it's been a minute, but originally, the entire ODR album was demo'd with Mark on vocals, had it all written before Myles came on board. He'd probably need a little bit of practice time in to get them down again, especially with playing and singing at the same time (which he probably didn't do on the demos), but that could be an option. Playing ODR in full with Mark on vocals (which, come on, we'd all be in tears hearing him sing In Loving Memory), plus maybe throw in a few covers and his lead vocal tracks from the other AB albums.
That, or give Flip a mic headset and let him belt it out while he drums.

Re: Hypothetical Scenarios - Sick Myles
You were one of the first people to hear the One Day Remains songs, so did you happen to hear those demos by any chance? Were they tuned lower for his voice?TenaciousBe wrote: ↑Sun Oct 23, 2022 10:54 pm I know it's been a minute, but originally, the entire ODR album was demo'd with Mark on vocals, had it all written before Myles came on board.

Would be crazy hearing him sing Words Darker Than Their Wings by himself....
Could he have possibly sang on demos for Walk The Sky and Pawns & Kings, since he wrote half of the songs on his own at first and had complete-ish demos before bringing them to Myles?
Would they attempt any Tremonti songs?

Re: Hypothetical Scenarios - Sick Myles
Unfortunately no, I never got to hear any of the demos. I did get to hear a couple of the songs over the phone though, before the album was out, thanks to Michael being awesome.maximzub wrote: ↑Mon Oct 24, 2022 1:02 amYou were one of the first people to hear the One Day Remains songs, so did you happen to hear those demos by any chance?
