Myles behaves, looks, and sings like a completely different person in this one. Damn, time flies by. He really reminds me of Robert Plant there. He moves so much and goofs around. Damn Myles, was that really you?
Btw, I hope Burn It Down will come back to the set of AB. I know it is very unlikely but damn, I love this song so much.

Re: The Random Alter Bridge Thread
So after watching a video of Myles playing an acoustic version of My Champion during a benefit show, I think it gave a better perspective of the song.
I know some people doesn't really like My Champion, especially after hearing all of the darker, heavier, longer tunes that AB has been doing and people keep wanting them to push towards that direction and not in a cheesy "post-grunge" direction where a song like My Champion feels out of place on an album like The Last Hero.
That stated, before playing that song, Myles shared a story where when he was a kid, his mom told him when he gets to school, he should get and learn how to play an instrument and join the school band (that's where he started playing the trumpet). Oddly enough, he was reluctant about it since as a kid, all he wanted to do was play soccer with friends and stuff. However, his mom really insisted on it since she didn't have the opportunity to play an instrument herself as a kid and she didn't want Myles to miss this opportunity and that's how it all started in his musical journey. With that stated, the lyrical context of My Champion really made a lot of sense and looked more genuine from Myles' perspective.
Here's the video with the story.

Re: The Random Alter Bridge Thread
For some reason, Alter Bridge's FB page wont let me view their comments section, it's just blank and says "Be the first to add a post" and it never did this before until recently. Now it won't go back to normal.
