    1 more day until the reveal for the Fortress cover & track listing :D


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 40,401 ✭✭✭✭x Purple Pawprints x


    I cannot wait! :)

    I cannot wait! :)

    Excited is an understatement :D


  • Registered Users Posts: 48,990 ✭✭✭✭Lithium93_


    And August 10th marks 9 whole years since One Day Remains was released


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 40,401 ✭✭✭✭x Purple Pawprints x


    Ten years?! Seriously? :eek:

    I actually hadn't even discovered them at that stage. I discovered them between Blackbird and ABIII as far as I remembered them. This is the first time I'm really really excited for a new album because we're waiting so long! :D

    Well, here's hoping for another ten years of Alter Bridge! :D

    Can't wait for this to come out! And I sent a tweet to Alterbridge yesterday and they definitely won't be coming to Ireland in 2013 :( I really want to go and see them though

    They're looking at coming here in 2014, I tweeted them and so did Lithium and both of us got the same answer. We'll be getting a single sometime in August.

    Also got a tweet from someone in the Kerrang office saying we won't be disappointed with the album. :D

    @jamesjammcmahon: The Kerrang! Office is listening to the new @alterbridge album. @george_garner8 is freaking the f**k out

    Me: Can't even put into words how excited I am to hear this album!!! Jealous is an understatement!

    @george_garner8: It won't disappoint you!

    Whoooo exciting times ahead for Alter Bridge fans :D , rock magazine employees are SO LUCKY


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 40,401 ✭✭✭✭x Purple Pawprints x


    I love the phrase "freaking the f**k out"... it must be amazing!

    I'm ridiculously jealous of those cool magazine employees! :)

    I'm definitely excited, working with a music magazine has it's advantages


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 40,401 ✭✭✭✭x Purple Pawprints x


    Imagine they're among a very small group of people that's heard it. Jealous!

    I'm really looking forward to the song Mark is singing lead on.

    I've no idea why the title Calm the Fire is the one that's jumping out at me most though.

    There must be a small but long list of people who have heard the new album, me thinks Calm The Fire COULD be the song Mark sings lead on... Or it could be the first single from the album, one or the other


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 40,401 ✭✭✭✭x Purple Pawprints x


    I wonder has Michael Tremonti heard it yet. Also, I'm assuming Dan Tremonti is also Mark's brother. If not, the name is a massive coincidence. :p

    It's a cool title for a song tbh. It could be either. I'm interested to see which one is the single.

    Dan Tremonti is indeed Mark & Michael's brother, guess we'll have to wait and see


  • Registered Users Posts: 48,990 ✭✭✭✭Lithium93_


    From Michael Tremonti's Facebook page

    I've finally heard the masterpiece that is the Fortress album. It is everything I could hope for. Totally different than the other 3 albums. A natural progression from AB III.

    And according to Michael Tremonti ''You all are going to love it.''

    :D


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 40,401 ✭✭✭✭x Purple Pawprints x


    He's just tweeted the exact same thing! Wooop I really cannot wait! :D


  • Registered Users Posts: 48,990 ✭✭✭✭Lithium93_

    He's also given away the song Mark sings lead on :D

    I'm really looking forward to that one, I really really like Mark's voice. :D

    Currently looking at this thread: http://www.thealterbridgenation.com/forums/viewtopic.php?p=5106 -- Rarities and B-sides :)

    Cool & well thought out interview from Ultimate Guitar with Myles Kennedy from either March or January this year (Damn America with the backward dates)

    http://www.ultimate-guitar.com/interviews/interviews/myles_kennedy_slash_is_cool_and_his_goals_are_the_same_as_mine.html#4922930

    Myles also mentions his unreleased solo album


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 40,401 ✭✭✭✭x Purple Pawprints x


    Just looking on the AB Nation forums and there are a good few people that aren't too impressed with the cover. The more I look at it, the more "meh" my reaction is. I do like it but I just expected something different I guess. There must be something behind it. Maybe I was expecting something more along the lines of ODR. Maybe all will be revealed when we hear the songs. :)

    Can't please everyone, i'm happy with the cover, though every one has different reactions to album covers, Though the cover itself is pretty straight forward and not too over the top,


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 40,401 ✭✭✭✭x Purple Pawprints x


    True. Don't get me wrong, I do like it. Maybe this is a case where my expectations are my downfall. In any case the cover isn't hugely important. I'm sure that'll all be forgotten about when we hear the songs! :D


  • Registered Users Posts: 48,990 ✭✭✭✭Lithium93_


    Exactly, let the songs do the talking so to speak,


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 40,401 ✭✭✭✭x Purple Pawprints x


    Yep! :D

    I'm just giving that interview a read now. :)


  • Registered Users Posts: 48,990 ✭✭✭✭Lithium93_


    We need more Alter Bridge fans on Boards, we must expand our numbers :P


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 40,401 ✭✭✭✭x Purple Pawprints x


    I know.. seems like there's only us two and djosullivan98 that has posted recently.. :)

    Having seen the fan art maybe the actual was anticlimax in the end but like ye say hopefully thats irrelevant if the material is productive.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 40,401 ✭✭✭✭x Purple Pawprints x


    Yay, another person! :D

    I saw a few different ones so that was probably it.


  • Registered Users Posts: 48,990 ✭✭✭✭Lithium93_


    An Alter Bridge acoustic album would be amazing :D




    The lyrics to Wonderful Life have a different meaning for me


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 40,401 ✭✭✭✭x Purple Pawprints x


    Yes it would! :D

    That song reminds me of my ex because he said it now reminds him of me. We broke up 6 months ago and while I'm over him, I'm not over the hurt so I haven't been able to listen to it much.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 9,820 ✭✭✭grames_bond


    I know.. seems like there's only us two and djosullivan98 that has posted recently.. :)

    :( I'm here too!!

    anyway I love the cover - I just think the name "fortress" coupled with the delapedated shack is a nice image!

    Can't f*cking wait for the album!


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 40,401 ✭✭✭✭x Purple Pawprints x


    Hello :)

    Cannot wait to hear it too! Really hope we get the single soon. Other than that I'm not listening to any teasers at all this time. :)

  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 9,820 ✭✭✭grames_bond


    Yeah im the same - it's a full song or nothing!

    teasers are too much of a tease! :pac:


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 40,401 ✭✭✭✭x Purple Pawprints x


    Yeah I listened last time and I got very impatient waiting for the full album.. :o


  • Registered Users Posts: 22 djosullivan98


    Only discovered this page on the forum the other day......I'm a diehard AB fan and I have to say the lyrics in their songs are some of the most powerful lyrics I've ever heard. As well as being heavy music \m/


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 40,401 ✭✭✭✭x Purple Pawprints x


    I only discovered it a few days ago too :D

    Here's a link you guys might be interested in - Myles talking about the album in the new issue of Kerrang! :

    Ah hi there, have a good time at download? Would half think AB r nailed on to play at it next year maybe fitting in an Irish date round that time. Also like the thinkin you have behind the cover haha.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 40,401 ✭✭✭✭x Purple Pawprints x


    Just saw on Twitter that the new single is Addicted to Pain and it's being released on August 20th, which is exactly one week before my birthday. :D
