I'm bookmarking it so I can check it out when I get home from work. I feel like I'm going to regret this decision though.Krissie wrote:I've never listened to the CoA radio version, and I def. not going to do it now.

Best "misheard lyric" I've heard since that old "Watch Your Words" video.

Here's what I stated about it.
It is a radio version of it with some bits taken out which is kinda fine. It still works.
Edit: Ok, maybe not, there is a lot of stuff removed after the 2nd chorus (Brian's bass solo, bridge verse, Myles' solo, final chorus). Mark's solo and final verse is still there. Way too short. It clocks out at 3:50.

Re: "Show Me a Leader" discussion
Ok, I had a brutal start to my day at work and didn't get to listen to the radio edit version. I went right for the full version and I am SO GLAD.
I was so concerned by the negative reviews here but this song is fantastic. Amazing intro, great vibe throughout, perfect single for them. Not quite sold on the pre-chorus (I think this is where the Slash comparisons are coming from) but I'm thrilled with the rest. The intro solo is very Muse-like which I love, there are parts that remind me of Calm the Fire, and there is one brief part of Mark's solo that is definitely way too much like The Cage but then the rest of it RIPS. I can hear the 7-string, and Mark gets really high in the backing vocals - a great carry over from Dusterize.
After one listen, I'm stoked about this song as the new album opener, dying to hear more, and I'd advise that everyone only listen to the full version from here on out (assuming it hasn't been removed yet). Leave the radio edit for casual listeners out there who need something more straighfoward to pull them into the AB universe.

Dude it sounds like he's saying that 100%. At least in my headphones. I can hear "compromise" now, but he says it so fast.
Thank god I was wrong

ALTER BRIDGE IS TRENDING ON FACEBOOK! Sweet!
Re: "Show Me a Leader" discussion
Can't find the longer version anywhere. But anyway I like the radio version. Not so traditional AB song. It's great they still can create something new and fresh after four great albums. Not every band can do that.
Re: "Show Me a Leader" discussion
I loved it!
The verse is very similar to One Day Remains, which is my favorite AB song.
Chorus is catchy, which is good to grab more radio time in America. I think they nailed it!
As for the intro, it's not an instant hook but it kinda reminded of Ahavo Rabo Taco Salad and Submersed's Divide The Hate.
As for sounding like Slash, I think you're understimating Myles role in his songwriting. Maybe Myles has more influence than you assume and his own style reflected on Alter Bridge as well.

Well screw ya'll, I caved...
That intro is so sweet... Holy damn!
If anyone reads this before listening to the radio edit; wait for the full version!

Re: "Show Me a Leader" discussion
Now this has me really intrigued. One Day Remains is absolutely one of my favorite songs! Still debating on whether I want to wait until the full album comes out to listen to this though, especially since it's the opening track.Marcos wrote: The verse is very similar to One Day Remains, which is my favorite AB song.
Decisions, decisions...
Re: "Show Me a Leader" discussion
I like it tbh. Better than the lead singles from the last 2 albums
