I've listened to the whole album a few more times since my review yesterday and I can definitely relate to how a lot of people feel about this album and AB now. Production is sort of an issue to me and I think Elvis has become more of a critic than anything else. If you listen to or read a lot of th...

I got my Best Buy preorder a day earlier and I'm listening to it now! Might as well do my review track back track as I listen. Music major background coming from my review as well so I might have some deeper musical thoughts. *****IF YOU DON'T WANT ANY SPOILERS ON SONGS JUST DON'T READ THIS THIS REV...

Just got my Best Buy preorder in the mail a day early today! SOOOO hyped to listen to this all the way through and have all the bonus tracks as well. https://scontent-lga3-1.xx.fbcdn.net/v/t34.0-12/14610732_1416956234999753_417134746_n.jpg?oh=b2243b1763b46a385f4183d1d5ea4c40&oe=57F97AAF https://...

I really want to hear The Last Hero, The Other Side, This Side of Fate, and Twilight. I'm also REALLY hyped to listen to the Best Buy bonus track Breathe from ODR. Does anyone know if it's a re-recorded version or is it from ODR era?

Myles recently did an interview with Metal Insider and was asked about his solo album. Full interview link here: http://www.metalinsider.net/interviews/myles-kennedy-discusses-alter-bridges-new-album-and-stripped-down-solo-offerings Metal Insider: I know that Alter Bridge is the primary focus this y...

*checks thread for more new information about The Last Hero*

*nothing new*

*refreshes thread again 2 minutes later*

*repeat*

That interview with Mark seems to reiterate what they've said since they started writing AB V and that it "covers all bases" and has a song for everyone. It will have the long, epic songs, the heavy stuff, and some lighthearted stuff. Personally, I'm okay with that. As long as none of the ...

From Elvis - "Laying down the second Alter Bridge mix on the new record!! Stellar ripper of a song" Looks like he could be talking about individual songs after all. He is. They've always gone track by track to mix. Mastering is the quickest step but mixing can take a while because he leve...

I'm BEYOND ready for this album

Elvis said on Facebook with the picture of Myles recording acoustic: "Tracking some acoustics today after our 3rd vocal so far w/ @MylesKennedy" Literally on the previous page! :lol :facepalm :facepalm :slam just noticed that :lol I'm surprised no one said anything about the fact that it ...

Elvis said on Facebook with the picture of Myles recording acoustic: "Tracking some acoustics today after our 3rd vocal so far w/ @MylesKennedy" So I guess they're already starting vocals now which is good. Also hyped to see some acoustics as well. I'm intrigued to see Myles using capo 5 a...

Doing a short presentation on AB in my Rock and Roll history class tomorrow for a grade. It's a decently big class too so hopefully I can make some new AB fans tomorrow. We are supposed to present a single and give information on the band, song, album, etc. and play the song/music video on YouTube s...

The ebow and the crazy overdubs with the Jazz guitars has me excited. From the looks of the board, they will probably be featured in the same song though.

The caption that Elvis put with the Jazz guitars was that they were "laying some wild overdubs" so I take that as they have a lot of delay or reverb with some tremolo picking for sort of a shoegaze sounding thing. That would be SICK if they included some shoegaze elements on this album, ev...

"Well, the first day of tracking guitars on #ABV went awesome. Mark is recording by day and Myles by night! One song down!"

Brian goes into the studio today, REALLY excited to hear the bass on this album. I think it's really cool he has his own custom bass made exactly the way he wants. Usually bassists don't really get their own signature gear but having something like that might bring out some more creativity and exci...

Things have been rather quiet on the AB front. I remember last time around getting a pic a day or some type of update. Quiet this recording session has been Usually drum recording is always the one that's never posted about much with AB and most bands in general. I imagine we'll be updated more onc...

According to Jef, they're recording in Los Angeles instead of Orlando this album.

Do you guys think we'll get more videos this time around or just the usual amount of pictures from recording? Obviously I'd love some sound clips but I don't really see it happening.
