She fucking LOVES Alter Bridge

Personally, I am not down with this band. And yes, I have given them an honest try. I have listened, with no preconceived notions, and I genuinely don’t like Alter Bridge. But other people really, really do. So, I’m going to write a post about it. Shameless? You betcherass. The only metal thing about this is band is that the dude who fronts it — Myles Kennedy — was almost in Velvet Revolver and tours with Slash.

Alter Bridge’s AB III drops on November 9, and if you head to the tail end of this post, you can listen to the whole fucking record, in its entirety. How sweet is that, bro?

According to a press release, band founder Mark Tremonti claims the band “went into the process of putting the record together with a lot of confidence guitarist but we didn’t go into it looking to be commercial, or to have radio singles. We just wanted this to be an album that pleased us artistically, through and through.”

Says Kennedy of the new disc: “This record is definitely a departure from the last two albums in terms of its subject matter. It touches on the thoughts and emotions of someone who has come to question everything that was once regarded as an absolute truth. It’s the realization that everything you once believed in might not exist.”

    Im sorry, but how can you not like Alter Bridge?!?!
    Sorry, thats my crazy fan thing done xD
    Blackbird was their heaviest, and if you didn’t like that, then there’s not much hope, but as someone who listens to Megadeth, Amon Amarth and Opeth, I still think they are cool ;)
    BTW
    Metallica’s 30th anniversary on the 15th October, and they are currently working on what may be, their LAST studio album
    :0
    on that day, hop on to youtube, and watch Enter Sandman, lets see if we can make it the most watched video, and prove that this world still has some taste in music ;)

    You have an amazingly small capacity and very little mind.
    Alter Bridge is rock. Coming from someone who has listened to everything over the years
    Starting with sabbath at 14 and kiss at 12 and reggae at 11 and Deftones at 30
    I think I qualify for having a variegated and eclectic taste for music.
    NO better guitarist than Tremonti and Kennedy is arguably better.
    And no vocalist can come close to Myles. So save your hate and desire to seem
    Reserved only for really hard music. I’ve lived a violent past and been there.
    Just wanted to point out your ignorance. Just cause you get a spot to write shit doesn’t mean you have anything to say.
