Re: Addicted To Pain - Chart Performance
If you click on the "Active rock" drop down menu on the fmqb link, Decay, and go down to "Mainstream rock" you can actually see an updated version of the mediabase chart - it's actually up to 21 now.

Re: The Official "Total Randomness" Thread
Ok, so everyone here is at a deadlock, then. I'm not loving this situation that everyone is in where any option is a losing option. There's got to be a good clean way out of this. Nope, this isn't a Hollywood film sadly. Over 100,000 (I think) people are already dead, children have been gassed and ...

Re: the NATO code for Sarin, btw, is GB
This may open a can of worms, but... If the Syrian government really did use Sarin gas to kill a bunch of its citizens, what, if anything, should be done about it? Pretty much a no-win situation as it stands. Nothing can be done via the UN and I think any military action would escalate pretty quick...

Re: 'Fortress - Interviews and YouTube Vids' Thread
Fuckin' boom is from now on the official description of Waters Rising :D I can tell I'm gonna be a bit gutted when it doesn't open with those words and thunder crack now. That interview was really good. :) Thanks for sharing, Timo. It was good hearing Myles talking about the songs... Can't wait for...

The Hollowbody II has a piezo, which Myles has.

Re: Mark Tremonti Talks About FORTRESS Track By Track
Listening to that's just made me realise that this is the first Alter Bridge album without something in Open G. Unless Lover is but it doesn't seem the type.

Re: Addicted to Pain Video
I feel like the video's got more to do with Fortress than Addicted to Pain itself, looking at those medieval windows to either side of the stage. The stage is set up to look pretty much like their live set, like Mark's monitors and the gear crates are there when they don't need to be, so my guess is...

Re: Mark Tremonti Talks About FORTRESS Track By Track
Yup Myles has a hollowbody, may well work. Hard to tell though without hearing the song, if the rest of the song is all crunch he may miss the weight of the guitar. I remember when they played Ahavo Rabo Taco Salad, the spanish breakdown that Myles did was just on a normal McCarty bridge pickup, but...

I don't get it, are people expecting Dostoevsky or summat? It's a music video.

Speaking objectively, it was a discussion about the role of subjectivity in music.

Keeps the anticipation going and they can keep going promoting this album and that the casual audience can listening to it through the good outlets like streaming and actually purchasing the album.

Re: The 4th Album - FORTRESS - Discuss The Album Here!
We were talking about singers though. Dylan's not an overly brilliant singer, but he is a great (genius) musician and songwriter. Similarly, there are plenty of opera singers for example that are objectively better than Myles, I'm just not particularly into that style of music. I'm actually supporti...

Re: The 4th Album - FORTRESS - Discuss The Album Here!
Most OD fans couldn't care less about the criteria we care about (technique, singing in key, strong lyrics, range) and they aren't wrong thinking that way, because there aren't any rules in music. That's why I kinda backed down.. It was a bad example. There's no point in comparing One Direction and...

Re: The 4th Album - FORTRESS - Discuss The Album Here!
You back down too easily Timo! They are unquestionably wrong if they think One Direction are better singers. They might prefer them, essentially because they're a teenage girl, but that's about all you can say. I tend to think there's a certain threshold of quality an artist has to pass before perso...

Re: The 4th Album - FORTRESS - Discuss The Album Here!
Hahah, thanks for the clarification. Coolio, makes sense. So really it's like things were with AB3 if I remember correctly, with maybe a little more time this go-around. Same process yeah, just a little less time spent in the arranging sessions and more in pre-production. Doesn't seem to have been ...

Re: The 4th Album - FORTRESS - Discuss The Album Here!
All of this almost inspires me to make a philosophical case study on the illusion of Relativism :) On topic though: I was gone from the boards for a while until just like a week or two ago, hence my question: - Yall know if the material for Fortress was largely written individually and worked on du...

Good music to make money with, that's for sure.Dan Dando wrote:But what if someone is of the opinion that One Direction make good music?
But no, I do think the cultural level of the planet would increase if they were atomised. We'd also have slightly more oxygen.
