Welcome to all the new people! It's great to see all the new faces as the album gets close!

And big props to all our European friends who are writing/speaking English here. Believe me, your English is far better than our Swedish or Finnish or Polish or Czech or Ukranian or British ( :shifty ). Glad to have you all here!

So this topic was just bumped and I've just seen the first post and I gotta say, this is an extremely polite thing to say and a very rare thing to hear so... :cheers

Sooo, I just found this place (can't believe it took so long :no )

Well, let's see...
I was a Creed fan already, so that's when I discovered Alter Bridge. It's been my favourite band ever since, so that takes care of question number 1.
Fallout is probably the song I most identify with, so that's why I chose it for the username.
I spend my free time typing Alter Bridge on Google (sadly, not untrue) and chasing after my son :/
I haven't really got a much varied taste in music, so generally I'm listening to anything between Alternative Rock/Metal
Last film I watched... Star Trek Into Darkness (NERD alert)
Something even my closest friends don't know about me... Got me thinking there... Probably the fact that I left my home country years ago... :shrug

Looking forward to exchange some thoughts with some fellow AB fans, as I don't have any friends who like them

So, that's it. Cheers

This is so awesome to hear. It's exactly what all of we AB fans were hoping would arise from Myles' collaboration with Slash. Glad to have you in the AB family!

I enjoyed your formatting, btw.

Hi Guys, i'm Giovanni and i'm from Italy! I see some questions on the first page, so i answer on these.

(1.) How did you discover Alter Bridge?

I'm a WWE fan and I discovered them during an episode of RAW with the guys which sang Find the Real with Edge. I knew Metalingus is his theme song, but I didn't know them. Now Metalingus is the third best theme song of all time (read on WWE.com), this is a HUGE accomplishment for Edge and the guys

(2.) What is the meaning of the username you chose?

wdttw : Words Darker Than Their Wings, my AB III's favourite song.

(3.) How do you spend your free time?

Playing bass guitar, watching sports on TV (soccer, basketball, football etc.), staying on twitter (follow @wdttw!) and on PC

(4.) What is the name of one other band you enjoy other than AB?

Only one? It's to difficult to answer...Talisman.

(5.) What is the title of the last movie you watched?

Rush. It's amazing. God bless Niki Lauda.

(6.) What is something about you that even your closest friends don't know?

They don't know the other bands I enjoy, only Alter Bridge :P

Keep rock!

Live In Amsterdam video of White Knuckles blew me away. I'm a metalhead, but decided to give AB a chance after seeing this.

Old gaming nickname, referring to a 'mouse fix'.

(3.) How do you spend your free time?

Playing guitar, watching tv shows/movies with my gf, computers and sports.

So many. Recently been into August Burns Red. Listen to some metalcore and a lot of progressive metal as well.

(6.) What is something about you that even your closest friends don't know?

When listening to music I always imagine myself playing it in front of people, who obviously are blown away by my amazing talent! :D Too bad I suck at playing guitar and can't sing for a bit... oh well!

It's partly my name mixed with James 'Bond', because of how big a fan I am.
(3.) How do you spend your free time?
I love listening to music (even got my girlfriend into Alter Bridge :P), watching movies, and playing video games.
(4.) What is the name of one other band you enjoy other than AB?
Slash w/ Myles Kennedy... my other favorite band. Haha
(5.) What is the title of the last movie you watched?
Percy Jackson and the Sea of Monsters... my girlfriend made me go. Lol

Been my online name since the Quake days and I was struggling to think of an online name, I had a copy of Wyrd Sisters by Terry Pratchett sitting in front of me and it became Wyrdo.

(3.) How do you spend your free time?
Music, Video games, going down the pub oh and I have two kids so they take up a lot of time!

(4.) What is the name of one other band you enjoy other than AB?
Metallica, been a fan since Puppets was released.
