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

Had a chance to listen to the album quite a few times over the weekend, and think this album is tremendous! I'm not going to go track by track and break things down here, but I do have some overall thoughts: 1.) The album is expertly paced and I don't have any complaints whatsoever about the order o...

At the same, I can't blame him being wary of going back to that drama that seems to come with Creed.

Re: Pawns & Kings (Alter Bridge - VII)

I keep getting the intro to Sin After Sin confused with the intro to Trust by Megadeth. That drum pattern is so similar :lol : https://youtu.be/ivqKTwmCmks Yeah, my thoughts exactly. Is there another AB tune that starts with a drum groove other than Metalingus? We Don't Care At All comes to mind as...

Re: Unpopular Opinions - Alter Bridge Edition

It's weird how Blackbird's b-sides are so different: New Way to Live - a god-tier song in my book The Damage Done - a cool song with a badass harmonized guitar solo We Don't Care at All - pretty much at the bottom of my list of AB songs too Definitely agree with this 100%. It's a crime that New Way...

Re: The Nagpo Thread

If this is representative of his current performance standard then it seems he might have found a balance that works for him. He was never going to last till old age with his original Creed style (lots of chest voice distortion etc). I truly do hope that he's finding a way to exist at peace with hi...

Pretty sure he's taking about the Tenancy Deposit Scheme. Myles is very concerned about landlords using not returning initial rental deposits in full. This guy must own rental properties.
Ahhhhh, now the music video for Silver Tongue makes perfect sense!

Re: Pawns & Kings (Alter Bridge - VII)

This band is done. Its just a machine now. Just business. The lyrics for P and K are atrocious. Written by a random reddit account with long TDS. Remember TLH? Go woke, go broke, and put out shit. They will play one song off that record live just to save face. This one seems similar. It is apparent...

Re: Pawns & Kings (Alter Bridge - VII)

General production stuff aside (though I have no real problems with it currently anyway). In terms of the arrangement, these songs have been fairly free of the over-stuffed nature of WTS and TLH. There really any sections that have so many overdubs and layers going on that you have no idea what the...

Re: Unpopular Opinions - Alter Bridge Edition

A few of my "unpopular opinions": Shed My Skin and Down to My Last are easily the worst songs on ODR, and if not counting B-Sides are still among 2 of my least favorite songs of theirs Open Your Eyes was a terrible choice for a first single, especially when they were trying to distance the...

Re: Pawns & Kings (Alter Bridge - VII)

The intro riff gives me some Mötley Crüe vibes. Any opinions on the music video? I like that they tried to head into a new direction. The video has some interesting art style. But I gotta say I'm rather a fan of music videos where you can see the band perform. Like on If Not For You or Wouldn't You...

It’s such a cheesy and lame song. WORST Tremonti song.
Disagree 1000%, Tie the Noose is one of the best songs from that cycle... Love the groove in that song.

So they decided once again to pass on the opportunity to record On My Way Now. Great. Why would they record it at this point? How many years has it been?

Re: Pawns & Kings (Alter Bridge - VII)

I know it's not realistic, but I'd honestly be content if they released nothing at all before the album comes out as a whole. It's not like there's any doubt that I'm going to buy the album when it comes out, so less temptation for me to listen to the singles beforehand is a good thing. I think I'd ...

I actually really like The Last Here's artwork. :shrug

It's just a different style than what's here.
