I'm a bit confused of that post. I always thought how AB creates songs is that Mark and Myles always has ideas and they share them among each other when they have the chance outside of their other bands and when pre-pro comes, they all come together to form songs and Flip and Brian fills in the bla...

Honestly, I lost track of them after Orange Ave and I don't know if I've ever heard any of their later albums. I definitely want to dive into them though! Rock Crown is still one of my all time favorite albums.

I scrolled through all 17 pages of this subforum, and couldn't believe that there wasn't a thread for this amazing band. Any fans here? 7m3 had an incredible sound, and then they just sort of disappeared from the face of the earth. Well, that may be changing! In looking them up the other day, I noti...

I checked on http://www.egdirbretla.com, and it is not there. Maybe Brian has it? Holy shit, that still exists? Did they buy that domain for 20 years or something? Also, whenever I've seen that address, my brain tries to rearrange it to "brett hestla" and now that really makes me want a g...

Another older video, but here's one of my original tunes called Nothing's Trivial. 10 points to whoever gets the movie reference.

From Tremonti's Instagram: "Good times with my pre-pro rig" https://i.imgur.com/cF4g0K4.jpg If you're wondering about the duct tape on his wah, he mentioned in a comment that it's just to keep cables from getting caught underneath it. Never thought of that before. Haha.

Samesies.

People like to bag on Elvis, but let's be honest - it's not like he's mixing and producing these albums independently from the band, without their input. They're approving everything before it goes out the door. It sounds how they want it to sound. That's just what Alter Bridge is -- the big, bombas...

On the plus side, you're learning this early. Lots of time to job hunt and keep an eye open for the next big thing down the road, plus get your house in order as far as resume, etc. And who knows? Maybe something better is waiting around the corner. That's one thing I've learned over the years -- wh...

Thank you! Yeah, it's a hell of a song, and I love how this video looks with the rain and lightning in the background.

I skip more tracks on BB than any of their albums, stiil like it though

Heresy!

Definitely get him to do his own little things in songs though, like in the choruses of Come To Life and Before Tomorrow Comes. Absolutely, more of this! Maybe that's more of what I'm looking for, not so much the "back and forth" I previously mentioned. Just something to showcase what Mar...

Well hell, they could have put this out a week earlier and release it for Record Store Day! While it's cool for the hipster-factor, is there really much of a sonic advantage to an AB album on vinyl? (Full disclosure: I own Blackbird on vinyl, mostly cause it feels cool.) If the album was recorded d...

I haven't been out playing much lately (haven't been practicing nearly enough lately either, winter hibernation mode), but here's one of my favorites to play from nearly a year ago:

Here's the thing - I love Myles, probably more than any man should be allowed to love another man. He's my favorite vocalist of all time, and I want to hear all he can do. But on the other hand, we have Mark, who's really been coming into his own as a vocalist. And having that tool in the arsenal an...

I can't choose between Fortress and Blackbird. Both albums are complete and total masterpieces from top to bottom.

I miss the acoustic breakdown portion of the show, where they'd pull out the 12 string and do In Loving Memory. I just miss the ODR tour, in general. I know things will never be like that again, but damn, those were some good shows.

Although, is Creed (if they ever do reunite again) still under contract to Wind-Up? Or was Full Circle enough to fulfill their contract?

Either way, there's also a teaser of new Stapp music coming this year.

Update - Mark will be playing with SubmerseD in TJ's spot, as he won't be playing that day... which, now that I'm typing this out, I realize I haven't heard specifically if Eric is participating in this or not, as he wasn't part of the band when they were last together. I'm assuming so, but will hav...
