AB III is definitely a grower I think. It has a few stand out tracks at first and then with each listen it just gets better. Is it just me or does anyone else think Tremonti's backing vocals come through more prominently on this album? I never noticed his voice as much on the first two albums. Maybe I just need to go back and listen to them again.

gizmo · 20-10-2010 5:04pm

It was probably a trade-off, Kennedy got to do more lead work so Tremonti's back up vocals were moved up in the mix.

RebelSoul · 20-10-2010 5:19pm

Haha makes sense now. Cause Myles does the solo for Isolation and you can really hear Tremonti's voice on the chorus.

Wooden Jesus · 20-10-2010 5:32pm

Anybody heading to any of the UK shows? I was trying to get funds together but its just too much.
I suppose its handy to mention in this thread. Has anybody heard Logans album The Great Unknown. They toured with alter bridge a few times and their new album is savage. If your into alter bridge i seriously recommend checking them out.

RebelSoul · 20-10-2010 5:43pm

Unfortunatley not, I wish I was. Like yourself I can't get the funds together. Bitterly disappointed there's no Irish date. I'm going to punch my teeth out and leaving them under my pillow. Hopefully I'll be able to scrape a plane and concert ticket outta the tooth fairy.

Wooden Jesus · 20-10-2010 5:48pm

The new album is gonna sound amazing live. Maybe they might play download next summer. Be worth a trip over to see them

Chrisi · 20-10-2010 9:35pm

Get the funds together peoples!! I'm going to the hammersmith gig this Friday, got a feeling its gonna be a cracker

delta720 · 21-10-2010 3:44pm

Tipping on over tomorrow for the show in the Apollo Hammersmith, taking the whole family over!

Tracking for the new Alter Bridge album is complete, looks like it'll be a 13 song album

Bring on September

grames_bond · 03-07-2013 10:52am

can't wait for this! Really wish they would play over here though - they are touring around the UK with shinedown (what a f*cking gig) - would love them to stop over here too!

I asked Michael Tremonti (Mark's brother) on Twitter if Alter Bridge were coming to Ireland in 2013 this is his exact reply Not for 2013. Looking at 2014.

I guess we'll have to wait and see, though he has given away 1 of the song names on the new Alter Bridge album, so i would say that he'd be a legitimate source of information on all things Alter Bridge

We have finally decided on an album title, we'll let you know soon!

Taken from Mark Tremonti's Twitter - July 10th
Two mixes down, 11 to go! Really happy with how it's sounding so far.

Update from the Alter Bridge Facebook

''Stoked to play one special USA date this year in October! Find out where July 22nd! Can't wait to debut the new songs!''

Lithium93_ · 15-07-2013 11:55pm

Regarding the new album, another update

Via Elvis: "Mixing Alter Bridge song #7 on to 8 in about an hour. Next ones like 7 minutes + in length! It's an opus of badassness

"

It's getting closer

grames_bond · 16-07-2013 10:48am

Really looking forward to this!!

Just read tweets from Michael Tremonti stating the single will be out in late August and the announcement of the title and release date of the album is this week! I thought I read another tweet that they're announcing the full track listing as well but I can't find it.

Great time to be an Alter Bridge fan

I have the first line of the chorus tattooed on my foot

Lithium93_ · 24-07-2013 12:50am

That is awesome

, must've been a bit painful get it tattooed on your foot

x Purple Pawprints x · 24-07-2013 12:53am

Ooh it was... but it's only small so it only took around an hour. I also have a blackbird at the end of the sentence. It goes sort of across my foot and the bird is above my big toe. The bird hurt like f**k! :eek:

Lithium93_ · 24-07-2013 12:54am

The awesome Mr. Myles Kennedy

x Purple Pawprints x · 24-07-2013 1:01am

I would... And the other 3 as well...

Just sayin'...

Lithium93_ · 24-07-2013 1:04am

I wouldn't blame ya to be honest,

x Purple Pawprints x · 24-07-2013 1:09am

I'm thinking the announcement is probably going to be Thursday or Friday considering they said "later this week". Not sure though. I wonder what the title is, I'm so excited to find out!

I'd say it'll be Friday

.. All eyes on everything Alter Bridge (Facebook, Twitter, people close to the band, Michael Tremonti). I remember seeing somewhere that Warner Music Japan had listed the release date for the album as September 18th

Either way the wait will be so worth it

x Purple Pawprints x · 24-07-2013 1:19am

Hurry up Friday! I'm constantly checking everything AB related too.

Yeah I saw that on TABN last night actually.. It's only about 2 months til we hear it. Think I may order online, that's what I had to do for ABIII because I couldn't get it in any of the music shops round here.

Was just browsing a few mins ago on TABN and a couple of people have said they'd like to hear some piano and I though it would be interesting to hear.

Lithium93_ · 24-07-2013 1:26am

The waiting is getting unbearable (in a good way), 3 years since ABIII, and i think but i may not be sure..... But the band themselves do post on TheAlterBridgeNation.... I'll more than likely have to pre order the new Alter Bridge album as the HMV in Galway went into administration

Piano on an Alter Bridge album would be interesting

x Purple Pawprints x · 24-07-2013 1:48am

Yeah I know what you mean. I only discovered them between Blackbird and ABIII so I didn't have too long for ABIII as far as I remember. Can't believe it's been 3 years, and one year since Mark's album. :eek:

I didn't know the band themselves post on TheAlterBridgeNation, that's quite cool! I got ABIII on eBay so maybe I'll pre-order on Play.com or something this time. Or else I'll have to go to Dublin to get it, it'd be worth it tbh.

It would be. I wonder can any of the band play piano.

Lithium93_ · 24-07-2013 1:56am

I actually discovered Alter Bridge through Slash when he asked Myles Kennedy to sing 2 songs on his 2010 solo album, picked up ABIII few months later and the rest is history (though i still have to buy One Day Remains & Blackbird)

Well i read on TABN that they do post there from time to time, don't know if they still do, i might use Amazon or http://www.ie.wowhd.com/ to get the new album,

That would be an interesting question to ask Michael Tremonti,

I've heard those songs but I've only heard Bad Rain off the other one. Get the other 2, they're amazing. I got them both off eBay at the same time when I discovered them and I've been hooked since!

That's cool. I might use that myself, thanks for the link.

Oh maybe I'll tweet him later about it and see what he says. I asked him last night if he'd heard the album and he said he's going to wait til it's all done before he listens to it

I've liked that page..

I'd get the other 2 Alter Bridge albums, but unfortunately no money

,

You're really missing out, Apocalyptic Love is amazing (I'll post the full album in the Slash thread,

No problem with the website link,

Michael Tremonti is 1 lucky dude, getting to listen to the new Alter Bridge before the rest of the world when it's mixed & mastered

x Purple Pawprints x · 24-07-2013 2:13am

All the songs are on YouTube fortunately. I have 2 copies of ABIII, I ended up winning one a couple of months after I bought the other lol.

I think my brother has the 2 albums somewhere actually, I must ask him tomorrow.

I know... I'd love to be a fly on the wall. When I get it I'm locking myself in my room with my headphones and mp3 player

Lithium93_ · 24-07-2013 2:17am

Once i get the new Alter Bridge, it'll be imported onto iTunes then synced to the iPod, headphones on & volume turned up, and enjoying the long awaited 4th Alter Bridge album

I've never had an iPod...

I've had at least 5 or 6 different MP3 players though.

Once I get it, I'll rip it onto Windows Media Player and sync it. From then I'll be pretty much the same. Headphones on, volume up... \m/:D\m/

I ditched Windows Media Player & MP3's when i upgraded to an iPod

x Purple Pawprints x · 24-07-2013 2:31am

I could be behind the times but I like my mp3 player.. I would like a new one though. Maybe I'll upgrade before ABIV comes out lol.

This is the one I have:

If you like your MP3 and it does what it's supposed to, then you're happy out, though a shiny new MP3 player would be a nice present for yourself to go along with the new Alter Bridge album

x Purple Pawprints x · 24-07-2013 2:39am

It does the job. I have it a good while though. I'd love a new one. My birthday is coming up so I'm thinking that's what my present to myself will be.

I'm liking the look of this...
