Re: Forever Falling: AB's best work since Blackbird title track?
It's good but there are lots of great songs between that are better than Forever Falling. Fortress, Cry of Achilles, Cradle to the Grave, and The Last Hero (title track) are definitely above Forever Falling and below Blackbird to me.

Re: Alter Bridge Walk the Sky Tour 2019
Does anyone know when they finally made an effort to stop rushing songs? Find The Real is the best example. In 2004 it was played close to the correct tempo (about 75 bpm on the album). By 2006-07 they were rushing it and then if you look at the Wembley performance from 2011 they were playing it at...

Re: Walk The Sky Reaction Thread
Not a bad song on this record Best line on the record might be "And then the days they ran out" That's a great line, a contender for my favorite. The other contenders are "Like a counterfeit, I've had enough of this" (1st time in Clear horizon, when it's lower and grungy), "...

Re: How awkward do you think this moment was?
I see Creed reunion sooner than most people, within 5 years. I'm not saying it's all about money but man they make a shit ton of money off Creed. Even if they are playing outdoor ampitheaters and pulling 5-8K people that's great dough, American dollars. And yes , 90's generation is nostalgia crazy ...

Re: Walk The Sky - Favorite Songs Poll
Tear Us Apart is the most Creed-y song they've done. I keep hearing My Sacrifice in it (and not just literally in that second verse). Am I wrong? I hear "Sister" in some of the riffs, personally, but agree on the Creed-y nature of the song. I like it a lot though. Oh, yeah, I should have ...

Re: Walk The Sky Reaction Thread
I love Myles vocals on the prechorus in Clear Horizon. Grungy lower end stuff almost like something off Blackbird. The only thing I don't like is the TLH like vocals (can't place which song) at the beginning of the bridge ("Pure escape" bit).

Re: How awkward do you think this moment was?
On a related note, there's some talks from Mark about wanting to do a tour with AB, Tremonti, Sevendust, Projected, Slash, etc. Promoters are not behind the idea of that kind of tour since the fanbase would mainly be the same. Not really a big crossover that can attract bigger audiences like this c...

Re: Top 10 AB songs
Honestly, Dying Light and Godspeed are the only songs from WTS with a potential of making the top 10. I gotta go back and see my picks last time.

Re: Walk The Sky Reaction Thread
If I had to pick one moment that's the MVP of the album it's gotta be the Forever Falling chorus. A++ stuff. This x1000. One thing I will say, the way Elvis likes to produce, there is a massive difference in sound quality between streaming and the physical CD. And I actually appreciate that. It mak...

Re: Best and worst Alterbridge album
Blackbird Fortress Walk the Sky AB III One Day Remains The Last Hero Blackbird and Fortress are basically 1A and 1B for me, Blackbird gets the slight edge due to the nostalgia factor. Walk the Sky is their most consistent album for me. AB III is a great album but I prefer the tone and atmosphere of...

Re: Walk The Sky Reaction Thread
I absolutely get ODR vibes scattered all through the album. Part of that might just be that theres less "metal-ish" tracks. Walking The Sky especially has some very ODR-esque riffing and soloing imo Now I'm actually curious which album has more solos. Walk the sky has like 8ish, I think. ...

Re: Walk The Sky Reaction Thread
This album most reminds me of ODR because of the more upbeat songs. There's a lot of mid-tempo anthems and simpler song structures here. I know AB got away from the post-grunge label before but this definitely seems like a return to it. Myles vocals seem also the clearest since ODR. Anyone else feel...

Re: Walk The Sky Reaction Thread
I know someone said that Tear Us Apart reminds them of Sum 41 but for some reason I can't place it (something in the verses) reminds of some song off Third Eye Blind's self titled album. I just listened to the songs it could be and I don't know why I feel that way but I do. Anyone else hear it?

Re: Walk The Sky Reaction Thread
None of those bands surprise me. Adelita's Way has toured with AB and probably gained a few fans from them (I found out about AW from the fact that they toured with AB). AB toured with Disturbed. Steel Panther seems like a band that would appreciate the work of Tremonti and Myles on guitar. Now if ...
