Re: Pawns & Kings – post release reactions & user reviews

I think some of the riffs and some music is good. But I don't really like the record that much. It's a step back from the last one where they had a new melodic sound that was experimental. This one is decent but a more straightforward metal record. i really think myles' vocal melodies aren't very g...

Re: The Random Alter Bridge Thread

So I was going through my rummaging in finding out that the vocalist for Plush was singing in Trans-Siberian Orchestra for the western leg this year, I have found that Plush actually did a cover of Isolation. That stunned me since I don't think anyone that has name value ever covers AB. Should they...

Re: Pawns & Kings Europe Tour 2022 with Halestorm and Mammoth WVH

Question to all people who went to AB concerts before: I will be visiting the concert in Cologne on Wednesday. Doors are at 6.30 pm. When do you think WVH will play their set? I'm fairly new to the concert-visiting game so I don't really know how much space there is between open doors and the first...

Re: Pawns & Kings Europe Tour 2022 with Halestorm and Mammoth WVH

Berlin concert was amazing. 6 songs from One Day Remains I think, only 2 from P&K (Silver Tongue and title song). I had been worried about Myles' performance before because if what I read and have seen from the tour videos, but tonight he was awesome. They did a lot of parts in the songs where o...

Re: Pawns & Kings (Alter Bridge - VII)

https://youtu.be/n9FBjovy-dE I really liked this interview. More insightful than any I've seen so far on this run. The only problem is, if they play The Other Side in Chicago, I'm walking out. Even if it's the opening song...? I'm not actually going to, I'm just going to stand there in misery while...

Re: Pawns & Kings (Alter Bridge - VII)

Gotta love people saying "that's not AB." But they wrote it and they put it on the album. So guess what - it is AB. Just because it doesn't live up to your expectation of what they should be (ridiculous in many instances I've seen) doesn't mean it's not the band. God forbid they try to st...

Re: Pawns & Kings (Alter Bridge - VII)

Def not understanding the love Holiday is getting. It's a cool tune , but doesn't belong in AB's catalog. Totally breaks the flow of the album for me. There you've got your answer :) I like the song itself and dont mind that it is not your regular AB song. Imo it also fits the album in a way, makes...

Re: Pawns & Kings (Alter Bridge - VII)

Guys...Holiday is growing on me a lot. It's super catchy, and even my 4 year old (who's only heard the song maybe twice) keeps randomly singing the chorus melody. What I love about this song is especially the "spread my Wings and fly" part at the end of the chorus. Kind of unexpected, mak...

Re: Pawns & Kings – post release reactions & user reviews

This is War, [...]what I'd call outright bad - these are songs I expect A7X, Nickelback and Theory of a Deadman (respectively :lol ) to be putting out. That's interesting. For me TIW is signature AB and I cant see for the life of it how that could be a nickelback song :headscratch But again - there...

Re: Pawns & Kings (Alter Bridge - VII)

https://youtu.be/g8SufANSP2U 4:15 here might be of interest. Just supports my point of incoherentness. Throwing ideas from 3 totally different songs into one track doesn't really work, unless you make the transitions really good but then still, faced with 3 very different beasts it's hard to make i...

I hope it will be This Is War but I guess it will be Silver Tongue.

Re: Pawns & Kings – post release reactions & user reviews

Stay : Nothing has changed. I'm starting to think that I like Mark's current voice better than Myles's current voice. I don't know how popular of an opinion that is around here. 10/10 Fable Of The Silent Son : No. No. Just no. 2/10 I have to single those parts out and say: wow. :D Tastes can be so ...

Re: Pawns & Kings (Alter Bridge - VII)

I think the majority of people didn't liked Holiday too much but I totally love it The problem with this one is the whole corky/butt rock vibe of it. It's a nice one to dance to and I find myself humming the chorus because it's catchy but it seems out of place on the record, it's almost like Five F...

Re: Pawns & Kings (Alter Bridge - VII)

After the first few listens some very short impressions: I really like Stay as an upbeat ballad now, I haven't after listening just once. The bridge is great and I in general love the harmonies between Myles and Mark. I also like Holiday even though it is a very atypical AB song, kind of a mixture b...

Re: Listening Party Thread - Pawns & Kings

My disappointment is immeasurable, and my day is ruined. Same For a second you guys shocked me a lot. I wasn't sure whether you went to the listening party and I thought you might be saying that about the album lol. I think you're referring to the lack of reviews from the listening party? :lol

Re: Pawns & Kings (Alter Bridge - VII)

After having listened to TIW like 15-20 times even though I only wanted to listen about 2 or 3 times until the album drops, I have to say this one could be in my favorite AB songs of all time. It has almost everything I love about AB. Such a banger and still so melodic, fantastic solo, catchy but no...

Re: Pawns & Kings (Alter Bridge - VII)

Sorry guys, I seem to love that song. I've read the comments first and didn't have high expectations but they were easily exceeded. For a radio single I think that is an excellent song, love the riff and find the chorus catchy and heavy at the same time - way better than Poison in your Veins imo whi...
