Re: Alter Bridge Live @ Coliseu dos Recreios, Lisbon 11/16/1

First: :rockon :mkrules :mtrocks Second: Am I right in thinking that this video changes the perception of who plays what in the Fortress solos? My understanding was Myles was 1st and 3rd and Mark was 2nd and 4th, but the video is quite clearly the other way round. To be honest that makes sense to me...

Re: Dear Alter Bridge, please shake things up live

While I'd have loved to see more Fortress songs (or a more varied selection of their older songs), this type of condescending, overly critical "letter" will rightfully be ignored if passed on to someone in the band via twitter or whatever. I know that by your standards this is the "to...

Re: Title track Fortress to be played tomorrow in Barcelona!

Am I the only one that really doesn't care about what they play live at a show I won't be at? All we'll see are some poor audio Youtube vids anyways unless DC3 or someone else is recording. Nope. I personally don't even care what they play when I am there. I'm just happy to be there and rock the he...

Re: Best Riff from Fortress

Out of these? Peace Is Broken intro / verse riff and maybe Bleed It Dry intro /chorus riff. Possibly Cry Of Achilles verse riff.

The best riff is the Fortress bridge riff though.

Re: BATTLE OF THE TRACK NUMBERS: TRACK 10

Fallout. One of their most underrated, great all round song. Stood out to me most on first listen of that album behind Shlip, I thought that was just because it had the easiest to grasp chorus but it never lost its appeal with me. Watch Over You would be deserving of a win here if not Fallout though...

Re: BATTLE OF THE TRACK NUMBERS: TRACK 09

This is definitely one of the easiest track numbers for me. Watch Your Words and Farther Than The Sun are without a doubt in my top 5 least favorite Alter Bridge tracks. One By One is a good, anthem-like song, but there are many songs I'd concern to be better. My choice is Show Me A Sign - probably...

Re: BATTLE OF THE TRACK NUMBERS: TRACK 06

Broken Wings

This is the beginning of the track numbers with very clear winners for me, after 1-5 which have several (or even all of the songs) with not too much between them.

Re: BATTLE OF THE TRACK NUMBERS: TRACK 03

Not quite.. As i put in the first post of each thread.. Fortress is fresher in people's minds so it's easier to vote for a song that you're high on right now.. I'd like everyone to take into account how they've felt when listening to each song over the last 9 years 9 years.. Wow. To be honest, it c...

Re: Alter Bridge at Le Zénith ● Paris - 10/24/13

They havent thrown out anything. There's a clear systematic plan here. They want to try every song from fortress to see how the crowd reacts, to see how easy it is to preform, etc. Bleed it Dry will be next and then.... Fortress! I think after that they will make a decision on what fortress songs t...

Re: Alter Bridge at Le Zénith ● Paris - 10/24/13

:rockon Calm The Fire Obviously unfortunate for those in the UK who didn't get to see that song but wanted to, but good for variety / live footage / potential DVD / future tours. Still only 4 songs, but a setlist with Cry Of Achilles, Calm The Fire and Waters Rising is pretty good. Even though they ...

I don't get it. Up until now, I've only heard people talk about crappy experiences but no video, review (apart from here) or anywhere seems to dislike the performance.

I never understand the argument of "I don't want to see them play the songs perfectly!" "Hey, that Mark Tremonti didn't make a single mistake in that solo... this gig sucks!" I don't mind at all if they change the song a bit, do somethings differently, if they can't do everything...

Re: Manchester - Phones4U Arena - 22nd October

Setlists for a DVD is another issue. Assuming we're fortunate to get more then the best thing for them to do is to really try and make sure that the DVD setlists are as different as possible (within reason), so that fans aren't literally buying a new DVD for only 4 songs they don't already have on D...

Re: Manchester - Phones4U Arena - 22nd October

The songs that a band play are a pretty fundamental component of a live show... people generally don't say "The songs aren't important, we get to hear Myles Kennedy singing again!" when talking about an album. It's not so different for a live show. Setlist, sound, performance - you need a ...

Re: The 4th Album - FORTRESS - Discuss The Album Here!

Fortress would be one of the ones I want to see live next, I think the bridge, solo section and the soft part afterwards in particular will be great. Calm The Fire and Lover are the ones that, while I really like them, I don't think are as necessary to be played live (even though Calm The Fire is po...

Yes it was still as a replacement for The Uninvited rather than in addition to (unfortunately).
