AB IV Writing/Recording Sessions
Re: AB IV Writing/Recording Sessions
It's cool to hear, ABIII was a bit samey in terms of track length.
For all of the hope that it brings...

Re: AB IV Writing/Recording Sessions
Yea, or just a 4 minute song with an extended outro. Would be cool though, because we haven't seen something like that from Alter Bridge before, but it wouldn't make the song 'epic' or original.Dayviewer wrote:I know right?Macca wrote:zomg 7:20 longest song evar wroten
edit: was just thinking, maybe it's just a regular 4 minute song but they pulled a Rise Today on it and do the chorus a bazillion times when it comes round each time
Still very excited about that song

Re: AB IV Writing/Recording Sessions
Longer songs = more chance for instrumentation. I'm ok with this, carry on AB.

Maybe that's what they meant by "cerebral." More like "progressive" me hopes.

Re: AB IV Writing/Recording Sessions
Myles used to tweet me back when he had around just 3,000 followers. Well, "tweet me back" it is very exaggerated, and sounds pretentious. He replied me with a very short DM maybe 3 or 4 times. But to me it was very awesome. I wonder if he still do this kind of things. This happen before he started to play with Slash.
Ps. 1: I really hope they dont try to do a Blackbird II, I mean, a music that sounds like Blackbird II. A long song, with variations and instrumental parts it will be beautiful, but at the same time, it cant be like they tried to make the samething. I know, very schizophrenic of me.
Ps. 2: I dont understand what everybody has against Before Tomorrow Comes. One of my favorites. Probably the song I most heard of Blackbird. =)

AB is smart enough to know that A Blackbird 2 would be a huge mistake because something that epic cant be replaced with the same thing.
And with Before Tomorrow comes I think that because they play it live so much it kinda wears on people

Re: AB IV Writing/Recording Sessions
Well, on the ABIII whiteboard there was a song called Blackbird II. Just saying.
But I agree that they shouldn't do it.

Re: AB IV Writing/Recording Sessions
To be so afraid of them making a Blackbirdesque song is to conceed that we've already had the best they have to offer. I don't believe that's true, so if they have the inspiration for that type of song they should dare to dream. Blackbird doesn't have to be their crowning achievement, they could make something better, let them try.

Re: AB IV Writing/Recording Sessions
I'd rather have them make a standalone song that tops everything they've done before. I believe they can still do that. I think that in the act of laying ties with older songs, they would be conceding themselves that they've already given us the best they have to offer.DonHarry wrote:To be so afraid of them making a Blackbirdesque song is to conceed that we've already had the best they have to offer.

Re: AB IV Writing/Recording Sessions
"Blackbird II" Was most surely Words Darker Than Their Wings. It's in the same key, has extremely similar chord progressions at times, is a somewhat longer song. Features a trade-off between Mark and Myles (in Blackbird it was solos, in Words it's vocals). They probably only labeled it that way however because it's just easy to remember.
I doubt Myles would even allow a Blackbird II to happen, unless he very much felt that something of that nature needed to be written for a loved one he was losing. And that being the case, I hope we never have to hear another "Blackbird" again. It's gotta be hard on Myles.

Re: AB IV Writing/Recording Sessions
It was labelled "Blk #2" from memory, so it's not entirely established that it was actually a "Blackbird 2".
For all of the hope that it brings...
Re: AB IV Writing/Recording Sessions
I feel like the only information we have to speculate on a Blackbird Part II is the song length... The fact that someone described it as epic is irrelevant because AB has made a lot of "epic" songs.
Re: AB IV Writing/Recording Sessions
For me, these are two separated things. What I meant before it was that I wouldnt want to see an attempt to make another Blackbird. I do hope they try make even better songs too, but doing a different thing, not trying to do the same. I remember Myles once had spoke in a interview that they always are challenging themselfs in a writer way, trying to top their previous work.Timotheus wrote:I'd rather have them make a standalone song that tops everything they've done before.

I hope a different approach in songs. Blackbird and ABIII had a lot of songs that are similar to each other. I would like to see a variations of tune, instruments, melodies... Each song with a very distinct personality.

That's kinda hard to say from now on.. All we've heard is stuff like: "'epic, anthemic, huge"..

I definitely doubt that we'll get instrument variations.
