Well, I didn't see any threads for Alter Bridge on here, and they seem to get a good positive vibe on here, so, I guess I'll start a thread about them..
For anyone not familiar with who they are: Alter Bridge are the members of Creed, with a different singer instead of Scott Stapp, and they are 100,000+++ times better than Creed by a longshot!!!! It's pretty much an understatement to say that Myles Kennedy is a way better singer than Scott Stapp, not to mention much less obnoxious of a person, lol.. And, I just find their music superior in every way.. Their lyrics are darker and more meaningful, not cheesy like Creed's are... And, they're just heavier and more metal-ish sounding, whereas Creed have more of a pop-rock sound, and not a particularly good one either might I add, lol..
I love all 4 AB albums, but if I had to pick one out of the 4, I would say Blackbird is my favorite, that album is worth it alone just for the song "Blackbird", that song is amazing! And, it's my personal favorite because around the time it was released, I went through some rough times when a close family member of mine past away, and listening to the album really helped me through it, particularly "Rise Today", "Watch Over You", and "Blackbird" of course... But, all 4 are great... AB 3 is definitley the heaviest out of the 4, so far...
I also really enjoy Mark Tremonti's solo band "Tremonti", they are excellent as well, really shows off Mark's amazing guitar skills, and he has a good voice too.. I have his first album, I know the second one just came out, I pre-ordered it on amazon a while back, I should get it next week hopefully.. And likewise, I of course enjoy Myles Kennedy's work with Slash! I love both Slash/MK albums, and have seen them live twice and they are great!
And last but not least, the great magic that is AB live.. I've only seen them once, as part of a radio station festival concert in 2011, and they were on early in the fest so their set wasn't very long, but they were still good.. I hope to see a full show from them someday, I guess their next album will be out either next year or 2017, since they seem to go every 3 or 4 years(Hopefully if Mark isn't planning to reunite Creed again...
