04. Ghost of Days Gone By
05. Cry of Achilles
06. Find the Real
07. Calm the Fire
08. Come to Life
09. Ties That Bind
10. One Day Remains


2. How will you rank the 4 Alter Bridge studio albums?

ODR > Fortress = Blackbird > > > > > > > > > > > > > AB3

3. Which AB solo do you like best?

Ooooh, a toughie... probably Brand New Start

4. Which one do you like better: Myles Kennedy's project with Slash or Mark Tremonti's solo project?

Slash and MK ddaawwggg

5. Which member of Alter Bridge do you like best?

Erm... Myles?

6. When and how do you get to know Alter Bridge?

I loved Creed back in the day, bought listened to ODR the day it came out, fell in love, fell out of love with the hard rock genre, stayed in love with AB and a select other albums in that genre.

7. If you can replace a track already included in an AB album with a bonus track from the album what will you do?

New Way to Live needs to replace One By One. Duh.

8. What are your top 5 favorite bands?

Sigur Ros, David Ramirez, Noah Gundersen, Regina Spektor, The Lone Bellow

9. What's your opinion towards Creed?

Used to love em. Not no more. But Mark's work in Creed made me fall in love with music, so...

10. Have you attended an AB concert? If yes, which one did you go to?

I've been to 4 I think? Eh, various places in Texas.

11. Which country are you from? How is the popularity of Alter Bridge in there?

US. No one knows about them. Hard Rock genre is very much out of the spotlight.

12. Do you like the direction that Alter Bridge is heading to?

I think. I'd still take ODR and Second Skin over anything AB has done, so I still feel like there's a large amount of unharnessed potential. But I really do like what they've done with Fortress, and I think the direction they seem to be going, though not perfected, suits them and will only improve

13. Which level do you think Alter Bridge will reach at the end of their career? List a band as an example.

Skip :)

14. How do you think Fortress will fare?

I think it'll fare well. It's got some meaty stuff, and some easier stuff. Still very melodic. They've done well.

15. Which decade were you born in? (e.g. 1980s)

1988

That's the main female character in Boy Meets World, unless you are referring to where the name derives from? That was a great show when they were in high school. College, I was just lost. I don't even think, I finished watching the series.

No idea where the writers got the idea for that name, but I feel sorry for all the girls that got named that because they had teen moms. (I heard of this happening to someone lol)

1. What are your top 10 Alter Bridge songs amongst the 4 records(including the bonus tracks)?
Hard choice, I'm always changing them >.>
01. Blackbird
02. Cry Of Achilles
03. Slip To The Void
04. Never Born To Follow
05. Fortress
06. Metalingus
07. Calm The Fire
08. Find The Real
09. Waters Rising
10. Open Your Eyes
2. How will you rank the 4 Alter Bridge studio albums?
Fortress = Blackbird > One Day Remains >>> AB III
3. Which AB solo do you like best?
Blackbird.
4. Which one do you like better: Myles Kennedy's project with Slash or Mark Tremonti's solo project?
Tremonti's All I Was \m/
5. Which member of Alter Bridge do you like best?
Hard choice between Myles and Mark, but I prefer Mark.
6. When and how do you get to know Alter Bridge?
2010, when I got my Guitar Hero: Warriors Of Rock XD the song AB features in the game is Ties That Bind; at first, the song doesn't keep my attention (and cuz is one of the hardest in the game xD ), but after a few listens, I finally loved the song and the band music style, so, I started to find more about AB and now I'm here :rockon
7. If you can replace a track already included in an AB album with a bonus track from the album what will you do?
I'd change:
v-Break Me Down ^-New Way To Live
v-Make It Right ^-Never Born To Follow
8. What are your top 5 favorite bands?
1. Alter Bridge
2. Stone Temple Pilots
3. Tremonti
...and that's what I called my favorite bands. I like/love a lot of other songs from a lot of different bands/artists but they haven't enough favorite songs to say that they are one of my favs.
9. What's your opinion towards Creed?
I just like a few songs (Overcome is my fav so far \m/ ), but as a band, meh.
10. Have you attended an AB concert? If yes, which one did you go to?
No T.T
11. Which country are you from? How is the popularity of Alter Bridge in there?
Chile. Alter Bridge is practically unknown, but actually and thanks Fortress, some radio stations are taking some interest on them, but it is not enough :c
12. Do you like the direction that Alter Bridge is heading to?
Absolutely! :headbang
13. Which level do you think Alter Bridge will reach at the end of their career? List a band as an example.
I don't like to compare AB with another band cuz every band has their own success and failure moments. AB career is still growing up, sometimes very fast, sometimes slow and patiently, but success is always with them.
14. How do you think Fortress will fare?
It will fare very well. Perhaps, the successful AB's album in time :dance
15. Which decade were you born in? (e.g. 1980s)
80's (1988)
The simple man receiving, defending every crime
Somehow still believing they're alright, so hypnotized...

It was a couple of years ago on my brother's friend recommendation, but I've only become a true fan after I recommended them to my boyfriend, he liked them and we spent an insane amount of time listening to them :P

I've no idea, I'm not exactly a fan of bonus tracks so keep it as it is.

Never had the desire to listen to them.
10. Have you attended an AB concert? If yes, which one did you go to?
