Pleasantly surprised. Its the tightest they have sounded and although the weird pronunciation of Myles, his voice sounds superb.

I think pleasantly surprised was my exact reaction

Re: ALTER BRIDGE - Live at the O2 Arena + Rarities

All right, from what I've heard so far on Spotify regarding the live album, I think this is slightly a step up from Wembley. The band sounded a bit fresher, except not so much on Metalingus. Myles sounded slightly better than Wembley, but still not on the highs of Amsterdam. The crowd is slightly b...

Re: ALTER BRIDGE - Live at the O2 Arena + Rarities

I just don't listen to live CDs much in general. No knock against this album or anything. I like watching concert DVDs, just never did get into listening to live recordings all that much. Im like that in general accept some of my Van Halen live cd's are my favourite especially when Eddie lets loose...

Re: ALTER BRIDGE - Live at the O2 Arena + Rarities

I didn't get to listen yesterday like I was hoping to but did today. Like dude above, said it's great hearing tracks from a moment past. Solace I think is the birth of AB's very mild prog roots. I always love a time change. And you get okie-doked into thinking something is coming but forget that My...

Re: ALTER BRIDGE - Live at the O2 Arena + Rarities

I got mine today as well. Ordered through Napalm. Don't want to give away too much until more folks have gotten theirs but I'm obviously always thrilled when we get new AB music – especially when it's from 13 years ago. It's surreal hearing another glimpse of that moment in time that has been locke...

Re: The Random Alter Bridge Thread

I know they have a larger set now, but I miss the days when AB wasn't afraid to do a cover or two, or (heaven forbid) use clean guitar tone live. AB went from being a fun hard rock band to being a brooding wannabe progressive metal band, and it's really frustrating because they could be playing to ...

Re: ALTER BRIDGE - Live at the O2 Arena + Rarities

It just sounds daft. +1 I'm genuinely shocked at what I'm hearing. There's also a part where he sings with marbles in the mouth (from 1:55 to 2:29). Seriously, what does he think he's doing? I know people of stated its to 'save his voice' What's the point of saving your voice when you're probably r...

Re: ALTER BRIDGE - Live at the O2 Arena + Rarities

I think Stapp's live stick is cheesy as hell and when i saw him he sucked live also check the Creed Dvd.Myles weakest vocal performance for me was live from Wemberly and it was still a long way better then Stapp. I agree the 2009 Creed DVD was dreadful. The Alter Bridge show in Amsterdam was also a...

Re: ALTER BRIDGE - Live at the O2 Arena + Rarities

@Raven: live, it's not even a contest. Myles is a very average live singer who keeps using tricks to save his voice ("that's tight!"), and he's not much of a frontman (who told him to wave his hand in the air?). Stapp's just got that "x factor" when it comes to performing, and i...

Re: ALTER BRIDGE - Live at the O2 Arena + Rarities

1997-1999 Stapp > 2010-2017 Myles (IMHO) Myles's voice was really strong in 2013-2014. I'd agree with you if we were talking about the AB III era only. I wouldn't 'Words Darker than their Wings' vs anything Stapp did,and yes i have every Creed cd also Stapp's solo album.Scott had a big voice yes bu...

Re: ALTER BRIDGE - Live at the O2 Arena + Rarities

Yes! Thank you!!! I for one still love Myles' voice and even if it has dropped off markedly, as some say, (I disagree that it's anything incredibly detrimental) he's still quite literally the best rock singer there is. Throw in his unparalleled skills on the guitar and you can just forget it. Dude'...

Re: ALTER BRIDGE - Live at the O2 Arena + Rarities

I mean, just listen to The Other Side and Cradle To The Grave as recent examples. Lover too. These examples aren't fitting at all, well maybe Lover does a little. I don't think that there is a song from the post Blackbird-era, where Myles had that characteristic style of singing he pulled off in MF...

I think Myles CAN sing like the old days when he wants to. I mean, just listen to The Other Side and Cradle To The Grave as recent examples. Lover too. Perhaps his higher register is more a stylistic thing? Or perhaps he's trying too hard to show a broader range? Also This Side of Fate …..its just ...
