Zero is a cool song, Breathe has an amazing beginning (though the rest of the song is pretty weak), but NWTL is just on a completely different level and possibly one of the best AB songs of all time.

Love all these songs. Zero is very underrated I think, but New Way To Live is one of my favorite Alter Bridge songs, so easily wins this one for me.

Thanks! Not that it matters though - can't see me voting for it! Possibly my bottom AB tune, along with Save Me :lol

Yeah, honestly, I don't even remember how both songs sound. Heard them once or twice, thought they were really not that good and never listened to them again, especially since I don't own them in the first place.

New Way to Live is the only good song here, and it's amazing at that. Easy vote.

I really wish Breathe was a better song because it started out so promising when we heard the initial clip, but unfortunately it goes absolutely nowhere from there.

The only part I like about Zero is the drum fill to open the song.

Zero.

People have their own opinions of "overrated" AB songs, NWTL is one of mine. Still a good song, but not great

New Way to Live.

On a side note, it's a shame Alter Bridge only plays 5 or 6 songs off this 14 best-of list. If I were in the band and I saw those old songs are still massively popular, I'd play them from time to time.

Oh god, please no. First of all, this forum has way too few users who vote on these polls to transfer their results to the whole AB fanbase, and secondly, I'm pretty sure that there's a bigger percentage of ODR die-hards around here than in the wilds. They already only play two songs from ABIII and three, four at best from Fortress, dropping some of those in favour of even more ODR or Blackbird songs would suck big time.

Yeah, if anything they don't play enough new songs, IMO. I think most of us can agree with that.

I agree. They really need to concentrate tour setlists on their newer songs.

In the meantime...NWTL. Easy call for me.
Another photobucket casualty... :(

The guitar solo in NWTL is one of Mark's best. Such an awesome song.

Breathe and Zero are tied for second.
