AB V

[Fish Tacos]

C. Alter Bridge is part time



I'm really interested in how this album turns out. Mark said last times their ideas turned towards the heavy side but that he has some different ideas for this one. Kinda hope this doesn't mean a bunch of Lover/Peace is Broken/Calm the Fire type tracks. There's nothing wrong with them at all, I just never listen to them.

How do you not listen to Peace is Broken and Calm the fire?

[phatnonphatness]

I would honestly be stoked with 13 different tracks all in the vein of Lover.

[Ubik]

Lover's in my top five, for sure. Really hope they push that angle again.

[AB4Lyfe]

I'm honestly not expecting a masterpiece like Fortress. I'm expecting a good, solid album with a few memorable tracks, but not too much more.

[sam1oq]

Lol, an acoustic intro in a heavy song. So confusing.

Myles had the intro, Mark liked it and the entire song grew from there. It's one of those rare moments where they actually sat together and wrote something on the spot.

You should listen to Opeth more.

[austinjhnsn]

Timo was being sarcastic sam. Not sure if you picked up on it

[One Drew Remains]

I agree. Absolutely love Burn It Down and Lover. When I heard the first 30 seconds of Lover the first time (when Mark plays that blues lead) I knew it would be a favorite.

Burn It Down to me is still a top 10 AB song after all these years

Definitely one of Myles' finest vocal performances.

Cracking out the jumbo! Love it.

[Dolo]

Is that a capo on the 5th fret? Instantly makes it more interesting.

12 years ago when playing Slash's music hadn't made him sing as highly as he has for 7 years..

[chtimixeur]

There was a certain smoothness in his voice back then that you don't hear anymore.
The ODR vocals are just godly.

[Jim]

He'll never get it back, and if he manages to on this coming record; there's going to be alot of happy people. AB fans or not.

[Timotheus]

I really wish he'd recorded the vocals for his solo album back in '09.

[Jim]

Oh man me too!!! The perfect time to have

Myles' voice sure has changed, but I really get the feeling that about half of this had to do with Ben Grosse producing the record as opposed to Elvis. I've heard a good few albums where Ben gets some really great vocal tones out of artists. Myles' voice is so processed through everything that Elvis does that we can't even hear it shine the way it's supposed to.

[One Drew Remains]

I agree. I love the Fuel album, and the Sevendust album that Grosse did. Great vocals on both.
