For what it's worth, most bands spend 2 or 3 days tops to record drums. Nothing unusual here at all.

Yeah if Flip did, on average, several songs per day, that's pretty common for a professional rock drummer.

The fact that it took him less than a week to record confirms one thing for sure: The fourteen songs on this album definitely does not eclipse 168 total hours in length.

Bummer. :(

EDIT: Wait a minute, silly me... they can always loop parts of his recordings. That means there's still a fighting chance! :dance

ELVIS IS THE PRODUCER AGAIN SO THE CYMBALS ARE GONNA BE TOO LOUD AND BLEED THROUGH THE REST IN THE MIX. ALSO IS BRIAN EVEN ON THIS RECORD? WHERES THE BASS!?
If it comes out around Christmas, the jingle bells sound of the cymbals will be appropriate.

I believe so. Dont they usually track it Drums - Bass - Rhythm/lead Guitars - Solos - Backing Vocals - Vocals?

Lets be real here even if we get another TLH that still had some amazing music is better than many bands put out now a days. I just think we're lucky to have a band like AB producing amazing music every 3 years

Honestly i would gladly take another TLH , Cradle To The Grave,This Side Of Fate and The Last Hero are in my top 5 AB songs. I dont skip a single song on that album

If we get another TLH, I'll consider that largely a disappointment.

Just like the overwhelming majority of that album.

Some of AB's least memorable tracks imo.

I wouldn't be opposed either, the album may not be a masterpiece but it is far better than what many bands put out.

If they don’t do the heavy blackbird/AB3 vibe, I’m not interested.

Fortress was good. About as far as I wanted them to experiment. The last hero... couldn’t even name three songs off it. This is coming from someone who named their first son Myles with a Y........


Last hero was forgettable. Didn’t like the progressive vibe. Myles has that with slash. They rock the dark dreery deep sound.

Funny, you think the stuff Myles does with Slash is deemed progressive where I think they are more of a modern throwback to that 80s hard rock sound/Aerosmith influences that Slash really wears on his back. I think the Fortress album has just the right amount of going heavy/progressive/darker/moodier/intricate/other buzz words I'm missing that works for them. I would like to see them dial back on the heavy stuff, just a tad bit. Not necessarily water their sound down (and these guys are really good at what they do to not have to go that route), but vary their sound a little bit to make the more heavy stuff and the more softer stuff stand out and really have us appreciate those minor details a lot more which admittedly, The Last Hero have lacked a good amount of that for the most part due to the mix (still a great album and I still stand by it as my favorite album of 2016).

I support the idea of a Alter Bridge Christmas song.

Ridiculous....Cradle To The Grave,This Side Of Fate, Crows on A Wire, Island Of Fools,The Last Hero honestly think Show Me A Leader is also underrated as is Writing On The Wall, yep my fav AB album

I barely even knew they started! AWESOME. I really hope they give us a comment on the overall feel of the new music soon.

Yeah, Brian's tracking has been kept pretty quiet. We could live with a few more pics and updates from the studio.
Another photobucket casualty... :(
