I know they’ve done this song acoustic before but I can’t figure out what the chords actually are

Excited - because I thought AB was having a bash in Ontario Canada!

Confused - because I thought I read that they weren’t/couldn’t come to Canada this cycle.

Concerned - because forest fire smoke health worries potentially affecting the event.

Then I realized it wasn’t about AB at all (sad trombone 😢)…

Just something called ‘bridge bash’ being ‘altered’….

😮‍💨

BTW - Please figure a way to get the band back to Canada in the new year!!🙏🎸🤘

Sorry if this has been asked before, (coming from someone who just reasonably started collecting) but I’m curious to see if anyone knows anything, about the fact that some of the bands’ releases on vinyl, seems to have been pressed once and then never touched again.

Ex. You can easily find Blackbird or ABIII. Even in a lot of stores I’ve personally been too, still sealed. They’re on Discogs for reasonable prices as well. They’re still in active circulation with plenty to go around if seems. But then comes Fortress and The Last Hero and I’m shocked to see some of the prices:

$400-800 / 350-700€ for a copy of Fortress on Discogs
$150-400 / 130-350€ for The Last Hero

I know what scalping is but just curious if someone knew of a reason as to why some album-releases seems so scarcely printed? Maybe it’s just too expensive during certain productions of a given album?

I don't really get it. The album is good, no Alter Bridge Album isn't, but it's not Amazing in my opinion. Slip Into the Void, Isolation, Words Darker, Fallout, and The Ghost of Days Gone By are really the only tracks on the album that I feel stand out.

I wouldn't even say the album is better than both One Day Remains and The Last Hero. Of the “classic” albums, it's definitely my least favorite.

I know they’re usually described as hard rock, alternative metal, or post-grunge (especially the early years), but none of those labels feels completely right to me.

I’ve been thinking about calling them Heavy Alt-Hardrock:

Heavy because of the clear heavy metal influence in Tremonti’s riffs and the overall heaviness.

Alt because of the alternative rock/alternative metal influences in the songwriting and melodies.

Hardrock because that’s still the foundation of their sound.

To me it describes Alter Bridge better than any single existing genre. Or do any of you call it something else?

It’s my first time posting in this sub, so please go easy on me if this has been discussed before.

They just uploaded Silent Divide Live at Rock am Ring 2026 on YouTube.

Do you think we will get this as a single or maybe a whole live album soon?

I got Broken Wings, Ties That Bind, Fallout, Lover, Show Me a Leader, Native Son, Dead Among the Living, Tested and Able

Wondered if anyone else ordered a souvenir ticket from Ticketmaster for the Blackbird festival? Forgot I ordered one and wondered if it was something I was supposed to pick up on the day or if it's mailed out after? Trying to get any info from Ticketmaster seems impossible 😭

Tremonti Sings Sinatra 2026 ~

Tickets and VIP are on artist pre-sale now w/ the code: SINATRA

I was sitting around yesterday alone at my summer home; and I put in AB’s One Day Remains CD (full disclosure- near the bottom of AB’s album ranks for me, but the only CD of theirs I have at the cottage - other CDs at home) along with Def Leppard’s Hysteria in the CD player carousel.

I long have not listened to that Def Leppard CD… In the 80’s it was a favourite of mine, but it has been way overplayed over the years in mainstream rock media. however, it was obviously a massive hit for DL and helped propel / solidify them to international superstardom and ultimately, the RnR hall of fame.

But listening critically as I could (hard to do as an AB fan) and comparing the song quality as I played a song from each album back to back, alternating one at a time from one to the other … things became drastically clear!

1. Myles Kennedy‘s voice is so much better in every way than Joe Elliot’s! - from nuance, to range, to timbre, breath control… its all so starkly obviously…. better! There’s a richness that is wholly missing from Joe’s vocal.

2. The backing vocals of Mark Tremonti are also a standout- especially when directly compared to the indistinct wall of vocal harmonies of DL, that was their calling card.

3. Speaking of a wall of harmonies…DL employed way more obvious slick guitar layered sound stage production- that I admit I once liked, but now sounds very dated and toothless. Weak sauce. Comparing to Tremonti’s varied playing - from delicate fingerpicked to downtuned riffs and shreddy solos and awesome legatos…. Once again, no comparison! DL sounds so … generic and safe.

4. Drumming: (well this isn’t fair right from the start - given DL Allen literally plays with one arm!). DL drum work just is very basic, compared to Flip’s. - also over-produced - fake non-acoustic drum sound to DL. Also, Brian’s bass lines are awesome and earth shaking in comparison to DL’s buried in mix somewhere…

5. And the songs themselves… I thought Id obviously hear why DL were a massive hit making band, while AlterBridge (especially in this - arguably their best selling album comprised of attempts at a collection of rock hit singles) only achieved a modest level of mainstream success in comparison.

But - it was opposite! AB’s songs are just as catchy! Melodic hooks galore, but while also richer sounding and more musically interesting!

IMO - it just goes to show that timing (and promotion ) is everything! I gotta believe that, if AB released this exact album 7 to 15 yrs earlier; they’d have had a smash hit on their hands too! - with several songs getting regular airplay as well on classic rock stations around the world!

But also, maybe its for the best for us as listeners too? Because AB decided steadily over time to make the best albums they could, rather than chase radio hits! We are all the richer for it - even if the band isn’t…

Thats how we got Blackbird, AB3, and Fortress! (among other excellent releases right til today!)
And Def Leppard? - they released Adrenalize - with the piece of embarrassing crap ‘lets get rocked’ (of course, a huge hit😮‍💨)

To be clear I absolutely love this band, my number 1 most listened to artist over the last 10 years. However, listening to them live recently, I feel quite let down. With some bands, seeing them live seems to bring the songs to life and give them newfound energy. I have not found this to be the case recently for Alter bridge, and I’ve often come out from hearing them live thinking, ‘gosh they sound so much better in the studio version’. I can’t fault Mark or Brian, but I’ve felt Scott’s drumming has been a bit casual, while Myles seems to have changed vocal tone and lost all confidence. This drop off seems to have happened recently, as I’ve found them outstanding live all the way up to about 5 years ago-ish. Yes I know they’re getting older, but there seems to have been a major drop off in talent and tightness recently, with some really lacking performances. Does anyone else feel this way? I hate to be a downer on such an amazing band, but I just can’t quite wrap my head around this.

Tremonti is a god, we all know this or we wouldn’t be here. His solo work is the best of all he does.

Here’s my top 5 solo Tremonti songs

1. TEWSUH - this song is everything. Heavy, creative, and incredible lyrics, it’s all of Tremonti wrapped up in one mind blowing song.

2. Dust - what a fucking song. My god.

3. A World Away - “But I’m still trying to belieeeeeve”…..

4. So You’re Afraid - Vocals are incredible, this is a fucking banger.

5. Sympathy - he’s got some great power ballads, and this is my favorite.

July 11, 2005, Alter Bridge performed 'Open Your Eyes' live at the Home Run Derby.

The MLB event was held at Comerica Park Stadium in Detroit, Michigan. Baseball players Johnny Damon and Mike Piazza joined the band on stage.

Venezuelan Bobby Abreu, outfielder of the Philadelphia Phillies, won the competition by setting a record of 41 home runs in total.

Prove me wrong Cauterize and Dust are Tremonti's best album

Sonically they stand out the most out of all the rest, the band's creative signature sound was born with these two beasts of albums.

Any newer good tremonti song has some elements from Cauterise and Dust

And which video would they watch?

I'd like to think they'd have a lot of fun with the Silver Tongue video, feels like some of that old school MTV animated stuff. But then I'd also like them to watch something live action so they could be like...

Beavis: This singer looks like that Kevin Bacon guy.

Butthead: Uh, who?

Beavis: You know, that guy that was in the movie with the giant weiners that lived underground, and came up and tried to, like, eat people and stuff?

Butthead: Oh yeah! That movie ruled!

In addition to Myles killing it vocally; Mark overcame guitar issues right in the middle of the solo like a champ, and slayed it!!
