Hello everyone!

(2.) What is the meaning of the username you chose? I always struggle with User names for this sort of thing so looked for inspiration from my favourite AB track of all time - "Words Darker Than Their Wings"
(3.) How do you spend your free time? Listening to music mostly
(4.) What is the name of one other band you enjoy other than AB? Dream Theater
(5.) What is the title of the last movie you watched? Unknown (thats the film with Liam Neeson - not a statement of fact!)
(6.) What is something about you that even your closest friends don't know? NO! they know it all
BTW love these :

Re: Welcome to TheAlterBridgeNation.com - Introduce yourself
Hey guys... just thought I could also add some informations about myself... so, here ya go :
How did you discover Alter Bridge?
Well... that´s really simple: after I figured out that Creed broke up, I just followed the rest of the guys from the band. But initially it was hard for me to get used to hear a quite different voice in the songs... I mean, Myles´ voice, of course... I remember that back then (the first time I heard the ODR) I was like: well, music and the guitar sound is awesome, it sounds almost like the follow-up to "Weathered" with adding some new heavier riffs, but the vocals...
Well... I just tried to say that from the first I was not a big fan of Myles´ voice, but with time it has grown on me.
What is the meaning of the username you chose?
That´s also simple : It´s just the short version of the name Desdemona. I chose that name after I saw "O" (Othello) movie in 2002. I liked that movie so I thought it was cool name - it was short and easy rememberable.
How do you spend your free time?
I´m listening to music, writing lyrics, singing and dancing - those are the hobbies I prefer the most, but I also like reading books, walking, travelling, playing sports, drawing...
What is the name of one other band you enjoy other than AB?
Well... I would originally say Creed, but since they have 3 of 4 members the same... So... Lifehouse is a band I also like listening to, then.
What is the title of the last movie you watched?
Hmm... I have to think a little... Does the TV movie also count? I guess so... it was The Devil's Arithmetic, really terrifying movie.
What is something about you that even your closest friends don't know?
I... like walking inside my house and being totally naked. ´Cause I feel free and comfortable like that, even though I´m a girl and my body is not perfect.

Re: Welcome to TheAlterBridgeNation.com - Introduce yourself
1.) How did you discover Alter Bridge? I was ( or I used to be a hardcore Creed woman) in the '90s early 2000s. I loved Tremonti's picking and guitar solo on "My Sacrifice," and that's how I was originally looped in. Over time, though, I grew to become dissatisfied with Scott Stapp's pretentious and over-exaggerated singing. Then, near the end, I watched a video with him drunk on stage at one of their concerts, and I just quit listening to Creed. When AB formed, I did all the things a fangirl does, I guess. I bought ODR when it first came out. I loved it. I still love this band, with Myles on vocals. I have been tracking with AB, ever since.
(2.) What is the meaning of the username you chose? Ok. I used to be drawing an awful lot, with graphite pencil. I also did a lot of pointilism, and pen and ink drawings. I am detail-oriented. So the "artist" comes from that. The "bittner" is my own, given last name.
(3.) How do you spend your free time? You mean, besides browsing the internet, because everybody and their grandma does that these days? Um, trying to find a way to read all the books I want to read, listen to all the music I want to hear (including AB), and brainstorming for ideas that could be used as the seeds of plot in a story. ( Yeah, the artist part of me writes stories as well). I need to go back to playing my guitar. I was raised on classical piano, and though I have made the jump to strings, life and art ain't easy to keep up (find the time for it all).
(4.) What is the name of one other band you enjoy other than AB? I also love Sigur Ros, a band out of Iceland. Anybody on here know them? Love them?
(5.) What is the title of the last movie you watched? Hmm. Isenhart. It was a medieval/medical thriller type thingy, that was a fantasy film out of Germany. Dubbed in English. Actor's lips did not fit the English, lol. It was great, as I go for the weird. Before that, Ghost Rider: Spirit of Vengeance. I daresay, that was definitely more mainstream.
(6.) What is something about you that even your closest friends don't know? I need to do more sit-ups, very soon.

Re: Welcome to TheAlterBridgeNation.com - Introduce yourself
Hey guys, my name is Drew, and I'm an AB-a-holic. AB III has literally only left my 6 disc changer once since November 2010 (when my wife put in Kids Bop or someting during a long road trip). I quickly reprimanded her and ended up spending a cold night or two by myself.
(1.) How did you discover Alter Bridge?
I was a Creed fan back in the day, and always liked the band (Stapp not so much). AB was a natural progression.
(2.) What is the meaning of the username you chose?
It's a RPG thing.
(3.) How do you spend your free time?
Watching/coaching baseball. Listening to badass music.
(4.) What is the name of one other band you enjoy other than AB?
Sevendust, Megadeth, Chevelle
(5.) What is the title of the last movie you watched?
Aliens
(6.) What is something about you that even your closest friends don't know?
I play Tremonti's solos on my steering wheel while driving down empty highways.

Re: Welcome to TheAlterBridgeNation.com - Introduce yourself
Hey all, I'm Zack. Love AB, have everything since album 1, sometimes to the chagrin of my bank account. ABIII is one of the CDs on regular rotation in my car.
(1.) How did you discover Alter Bridge?
Casual creed fan back in the day. Heard about Alter Bridge the summer immediately after Myles was recuited and Open Your Eyes was released as a single. Heard the song and was blown away. That summer i was on a bike trip (as in bicycle not motorbike) summer camp trip throughout part of Quebec, and during one of the layover days in Montreal, i bought ODR. After the trip ended, i had to spend an extra night at the camp's HQ based on when my folks could get my flight back scheduled, so that night the staff at the camp and i listened to the first 4 tracks on ODR. I was chomping at the bit to listen to the rest when i got home and loved it when i finally did.
(2.) What is the meaning of the username you chose?
It's a purposefully mis-spelling of one of my favorite mythological animals followed by my birth year.
(3.) How do you spend your free time?
Listening to music, exercise, collecting Transformers. Also, as of now i'm preparing to start graduate school in mid-August.
(4.) What is the name of one other band you enjoy other than AB?
Chevelle, 10 years, dragonforce, some stuff from Foxy Shazam and the Daylights
(5.) What is the title of the last movie you watched?
Honestly, i don't remember.
(6.) What is something about you that even your closest friends don't know?
Now, why would i post that on the internet to be immortalized?

(1.) How did you discover Alter Bridge?
I got into creed when I was really young (I was born in '95) because my mom would always listen to them. I have ended up liking all of the stuff she listens to (she brought my sister and I, who is one year younger than me, to a Foreigner concert when I was around 4. I'm talking about 80's and early 90's music). But anyway, I went to the library one day when I was 10 and started looking for random music under pop/rock and ended up only getting One Day Remains...and I loved it! When I got older and started to use the internet more I started following the things they were doing, especially Mark.
(2.) What is the meaning of the username you chose?
Scarface is definitely in my top 3 movies of all time. I also loved the ps2 game
(3.) How do you spend your free time?
I love to play guitar. I'm constantly looking things up about guitars, both trying to get my chops up and my knowledge of theory. I recently took a guitar class at school (High School) and I did the best in the class (99.4% ), but to be fair, I had been playing for about 2 1/2 years by then. I've recently gotten into mythology, so whenever I have absolutely nothing to do I'll start reading Gods and Heroes of Greek Mthology. I also watch T.V. and play video games (specifically Call of Duty and Gears of War).
(4.) What is the name of one other band you enjoy other than AB?
I absolutely LOVE the Scorpions!
(5.) What is the title of the last movie you watched?
Futurama: Bender's Game
(6.) What is something about you that even your closest friends don't know?
I want to be a Luthier, specifically to make guitars, but I'm afraid that the business won't be good and I won't be able to make a living off of that, but I also would love to work for Name brand guitar companies like Fender, Gibson, and if my dreams come true...Paul Reed Smith (right now they are hiring an entry level production sander, but I haven't even finished High school yet and that facility is in Stevensville MD). Does anyone happen to know if they have any facilities anywhere else besides Maryland? If it's one kind of art I love, it's the art that Paul portrays through his instruments and their look, feel, and sound. I can't help but to want to be a part of that...Other than that, I don't know what I want to do when I get older, because I easily get the hang of things that I do and there are SOOO many things that I feel I can and would love to do.
