18 Days Remain

On the amazing side though, one of the hockey rinks where my son played was playing My Champion on ht arena PA during stoppages in play during the first period. I found the audio guy and told him how fantastic that was, so he played it in parts of the 2nd and 3rd periods, too.
Still sour that you came to Canada and didn't visit me, Greg

If you won't drive 4 hours to see AB, you sure as hell aren't going to go 5 minutes to see me. Relatively speaking, and all.

You know, every single AB or AB-related release, we have the same narrative around here. The site, and its owners/operators, don't condone leaks. The rule for this site is, hey, don't talk about leaks because we don't support the shady mf'ers who leaked it. Because the band obviously doesn't condone said leaks, this site doesn't condone leaks. And every release? People come around talking about leaks.

Listen. There are a billion websites out there, there's social media, there's other message boards, there's even an Alter Bridge subreddit. You can go discuss the leaks anywhere. The band doesn't want them out, and by downloading and discussing them all over the place you're straight up defying the wishes of the band you claim to love, but you have the freedom to go do that.

Except here.

This site doesn't condone it, and yet people come along and do it anyway. It's nonsense. Just... don't be a dick.

(As an aside, let it be known I'm not a moderator anymore so I'm speaking only for myself, and sticking up for a couple people I still consider friends who get saddled with more work than they should to run this site.)

don't know...i kind of hope that it's not re-recorded, but at the same time i do. i guess, if it is re-recorded some of it might have changed and we'll never know. i don't like that.

The boyos do seem to be good at recognising when something deserves it, though.

I love Breathe Again 1 of my fav's actually

Absolutely cannot wait for Island of Fools, I wore that preview out. The riff along with Myles' vocals is pure gold

Post by **TenaciousBe** » Mon Sep 19, 2016 9:16 pm

It kills me that we've been waiting, clamoring, pleading, begging the band for a studio version of On My Way Now for 13 years, and now they pull out an ODR b-side and it's... the other one?

Yeah, what're the limits on what we can and can't say now?

No I didn't, I was referring to the snippet from that japanese amazon

damn nice save

I genuinely was though...

Post by **Andy92** » Mon Sep 19, 2016 10:25 pm

Only music I've listened to is the two singles that have been officially released. I believe you were referring to the Amazon snippets that were genuinely online for a bit, but before you clarified that, it came across as referring to leaked music. Just sayin...if the point is to keep conversations of the unreleased music off the boards...

They've been playing "My Champion" all night right before commercial break during the Eagles vs Bears game on Monday Night Football

That's awesome! Any mention on screen of who the song is by?

Post by **anguyen92** » Tue Sep 20, 2016 12:04 am

Is there any legal ways, possible, to find replays of the game to track when My Champion was played?

Edit: On second thought, since my father recorded the game on DVR, I can find it. I just don't know how to sift through about 3.5 hours of content to find when the song was played.

WHAT?! I was listening to the game on mute and listening to a podcast while watching the game. I can't believe this.
