Tuesday 6AM PST for me which is a nice thing to wake up to for my 6AM alarm Which also probably means a Monday 9PM PST iTunes release and NZ will have the song and album preorder up on iTunes by Monday?

I’m not waking up to listen - last time I did that was Show Me a Leader and 2 hours later I remembered literally nothing about the song.

Hey friends! We love all the excitement around here, and have also had to clean up a few posts.

From the stickied post: "As massive fans of the Alter Bridge, we try to respect the band's wishes about the timing and method by which things are released. So, please be reminded that TABN may not be used to distribute leaks of any kind. Anyone sharing leaks on TABN will be subject to our rules—warnings, temporary bans, or even permanent bans—depending on the nature of the infraction. Thanks in advance for keeping TABN a place to support, promote, and appreciate our favorite band in a manner they would be proud of!"

Please be mindful. We're looking forward to seeing all your artwork and new avatars when the band officially releases their work. Fingers crossed for Tuesday!

why was my post commenting on a certain leaked image removed? because it was unflattering? there's nothing above that indicates my comment is against the rules. i didn't re-post or link to the image. i just said 'oof.'

Well, I got my comment removed even though I prefaced it with, "If what [leak site] says is true," since I never take anything at face value until the band announces it themselves. Oh well, I will say what people have quoted in their signatures which something I stated in scenarios like these. "Oh well, deal with it."

[Ashlee]

Nothing was deleted due to “wrongness.” Deleting your mentions of a leak discourages people from asking you or PMing you for the leak. We’ve been asked to limit discussion of it so that’s what we’re doing. Tell us how much you like it or don’t like it when it’s released officially. Thanks!

What did I do?

Exactly my point, adorable.

I'd still participate in our Facebook group chat, but as you've probably noticed, my Facebook account was hacked and now my current profile name is "Coco Xiao." Have fun talking to whoever Coco is.

Relay the message to the other boys. I wish I could participate. Facebook sucks and so do their account recovery services.

You’re officially out of the group chat. Fuck, Coco.

But for real miss ya in the chat, bud.

[SHEAKENBAKEN]

Time for Monty to create a 2nd FB account so he can rejoin.

[AB23]

As I was proving my identity to them, I asked them for Coco Xiao's email. I swear to god they said "we can't give you that for security reasons."

I laughed my ass off. I can't recover my stolen identity FOR SECURITY REASONS.

What a time to be alive!

Tim Tournier said on Facebook that it's Central time, "the only time zone that matters." Cool because that's the time zone I live in. But sadly, when the announcement drops, I will be in no time zone as I will be on the plane from Zurich to Chicago.

[Timotheus]

Does anyone know what that object is on that short video? It just looks like some decorative trim to me. Maybe it's part of a crown, otherwise I can't really fit it into a pawns or kings thing.

In the second teaser it looks like it's a circle of figures. The figures kinda look like Oscars to me. Which could be a dig towards Hollywood. The elite vs. us plebs.

Otherwise those could just be pawns.

The skull with what seems to be a snake in it is very much something Slash would get a tattoo of.

Fucking hell boys here we GO

Rock/metal bands seem to have an odd liking for snakes and skulls. Hopefully the music isn’t as boring.

[Timotheus]

I generally think skulls are too gimmicky, and not really suited for AB. I can tolerate this because the rest looks good, and I can see it fitting with the theme. I'd like it less on the bass drum live for example.
