Pretty much this.

I love that you somehow made the 'Easily' so tiny

Yay well I was looking for the strike out but couldn't find it. The choice wasn't that easy in the end.

I wonder if this will be the first poll where one of the options gets no votes.

Edit: a word.

Really hope they bring back YWBR for Basel. I know I'm in the minority when I say it's one my top 5 on this record.

Coming Home all the way, it's in my AB top 5.

My guess it that he prefers to have more dirty tones available, and since there is a limit on the amount of gear he can bring over to Europe (shipping prices etc.) he chooses more distorted stuff. Clean tone hasn't been an important part of his sound since Fortress anyway. I mean, I guess... but wh...

He doesn't have them as part of his live touring rig at this point.

Do you (or anyone else on here) know why?

Is there a reason that Mark didn't bring his Fender Twin Reverbs with him? I miss the clean tone in some of these live songs... especially in Blackbird.

Of my top 5 AB songs, two of them are on this list.... Went with BID.

BNS for sure. The first AB song I saw them perform live, and I remember the feeling that swept over me when we heard that live bootleg recording from Foxwoods or wherever back in '07.

Writing on the Wall does sound good. Listening to videos of these new songs has reminded me how shaky Mark still is at times when singing harmony. He has developed leaps and bounds as a lead singer obviously, but still struggles to hear his harmonies it seems. Mark doesn't use in-ear monitors thoug...

Maybe he tracked it in another tuning, and the open note is another note now? Yeah, that is probable. Though the way I play (in Drop C) it is the same as he does in that vid so... Myles tracked it on the CD in Open G, down half a step (same tuning as In Loving Memory), but live they are playing it ...

No one's been able to do this for me yet, so I'd appreciate the help Brian!

Hey guys! I need a huge favour from anyone on here with a scanner and a physical copy of AB III. Let me preface this request that I asked Stijn (axlar) for permission before making this post. About a month ago I started on my full sleeve arm tattoo, and while most of the themes are set, on my outer ...

Break Me Down?

In no particular order: - Writing on the Wall: The start isn't the strongest, the chorus is okay, but damn that bridge. - My Champion: That little lick is interesting, but the lyrics, as cheesy as they may be, are exactly what I need right now. - Cradle to the Grave: Does anyone get a sort of Scandi...

I like the old logo much better. I have that thing tattooed on my wrist, don't go ahead and change it dammit! I am still planning on getting the old "AB" logo tattoo'd on my arm. Don't care about the change, that one will always remain the one for me. I have the old "AB" logo ta...

The keys in "This Side of Fate" irk me to no end. It almost gives off a B- or C-list film score vibe because they sound... I dunno, not cheap, but something about the tone of the keys at the beginning of the song bothers me. Rest of the song is really strong though, especially the mid sect...

Ah I see, fair enough. Well, seriously awesome to see so many familiar names popping up. I live in Thailand now but I am considering flying over to the UK/Europe for some shows. Probably not this tour but next year. Would love to meet up again with all I've met before and any new faces. Dude! I rem...

I could buy Myles being in a Drop B for This Side of Fate, but judging off of this interview on the Jasta podcast Mark and Myles did, Mark is in "some crazy tuning". Mark did tweet the other day that You Will Be Remembered is in Drop B. And we know that Mark is in Drop C# for Cradle to th...
