I think so too. His voice is more suited to the slow balladish songs. He's a great rock n roll singer but he is not a metal guy.

I know that Rise Today has been the closer for most shows but how about the band changing it up this tour.

I vote for Burn it Down as a closer.

Nothing will beat the first time I heard OYE, so that is definitely my favorite single. That is how I discovered by AB For that matter nothing will ever beat the first time i got the album and played it. Rise Today is a close second. Found it very generic on first listen. Infact, I thought the whole...

Ok some opinions from the non-hardcore fans on other boards Damn good song. sounds great Awesome !! Not a bad song....definitely rocks hard!Hope this new album is better than their last one. Their debut was awesome, 2nd was decent, 3rd one was pretty much a turd, IMO. Enjoyed this! Pretty brutal beg...

Listened to it again last night and i'm digging it even more.

THe production sounds like a cross between ODR and AIW which is fine by me. AB3's production sucked.

EDIT: I love it, AB are truly back

I don't understand people saying that Alter Bridge for example do the heavy bits for the sake of being heavy...... It's built into Marks DNA If it's built into Mark's DNA how come there are more slow songs on the first 2 records and songs like Metalingus, Buried Alive and White Knuckles are in the ...

Sounds like it could have come off Mark's solo record. The verse is very reminiscent of Wish you Well I'm not really digging it , in fact I would vote this as AB's worst song ever. Which is a good thing because songs that sound like shit at first listen on a low quality mp3 rip generally become our...

RIGHT ON THE MONEY !

well not everyone is a hard core fan who will know the each member's name.

I haven't heard the songs so obviously cannot predict what the first single will be.

But i'm guessing it will be one of the radio-friendly ones.

After all that is the whole point of releasing a single right ? To gain airplay on radio stations, not just metal radio.

Well you miss the point, most of the responses have been positive. Alter Bridge is gaining respect.

I managed to convert one guy into a fan. but looking at the majority of the posts, Alter Bridge is gaining a lot of respect in the Rock and Metal community. http://forums.metalsludge.tv/forums/viewtopic.php?f=1&t=294188 For those that are too lazy to register to see the thread i'm posting some o...

has anyone considered the fact that all these various edits the people on this forum are coming up with were already considered by Dan and the band and maybe they chose to go with the RED color for a reason ? Maybe they didn't want to play it safe ? Maybe they didn't want to do it like most people w...

Just what I was thinking, i can imagine starting a thread like this after hearing 30 second samples..but at this point...it is pointless speculation.

The released the AB III song titles one at a time. Wouldn't be surprised if that's how they do this one. I know it will never happen in a million years...but...I wish they would not reveal the song titles at all. All we should get before the album release is the first single. Man i miss those days ...

After the AB3 cover, I think any cover would look good

^ While I kinda agree, I think it's important to put things in perspective. You don't NEED that kind of hunger to create an album like Blackbird. Look at the Foo Fighters.. They made their best studio album (in my opinion) in 2011, when they were already one of the biggest bands on the planet and h...
