Haha, let's see ****head Stapp pull that one off!!! Sounds like an awesome show, mate.

Don't try and trick me into listening to Alter Bridge by giving them a good review. I heard a 30 second clip of them the other day, and the singer sounds so similar to Scott Stapp, and newsflash, Creed were horrible.

Everyone here knows that Creed were horrible. Also, a 30 second song clip does not do **** for hearing what the album is like. I think you need to either listen to the album or stuff it. I saw your little thread about being biased, and my question is this: if you already have a poor opinion of the band, why deliberately look at reviews for that group? When the person likes it, you call it biased? I think you just want to agree with the person. And, well, he doesn't, so quit whining about it. I don't want to hear about how crappy you think they are. We've had quite enough of that here, thanks.
And 30 seconds of anything does not entitle you to form an opinion about the group's music. You're still as good as ignorant in everybody's mind.

True enough. He's a moron. Look at his response to mine, it curdles my blood.

I skipped over from the pages between the first and last page.

If the vocals is going to be the same style as Scott Stapp's, it's obvious that it's going to be Creed Part 2 and like you said the 'original' Creed weren't that good in the first place.
[QUOTE=Ripper22]I think you need to either listen to the album or stuff it.[/quote]
I'd rather listen to other albums.
[QUOTE=Ripper22] I saw your little thread about being biased, and my question is this: if you already have a poor opinion of the band, why deliberately look at reviews for that group? [/quote]
I was browsing the reviews on the first page of this thread. I was curious as to what rating this album would be given, knowing that it would suck.
[QUOTE=Ripper22]When the person likes it, you call it biased?[/quote]
I called it biased because who would go out of their way to listen to something like Alter Bridge or Simple Plan. I know, someone who might be a band of said bands. Then they try and plug the album by giving it a rave review. It's highly likely that a large percentage of people didn't like Creed and see Alter Bridge as a carbon-copy of Creed, and why would they review the album? It's obvious that most people are going to review albums by bands they like or albums that they like before even reviewing it. What's the point reviewing an album if you already like it? If you already like it, you're going to favour it, say you like it and going to give it a high score.

Noted.

If it sounds exactly the same as Creed, which is does, and I've been unfortunate enough to hear some Creed songs, I think I can make some sort of opinion from what it is going to sound like/sounds like.
[QUOTE=Ripper22]You're still as good as ignorant in everybody's mind.[/QUOTE]
Mhmm.

Mexicola is CLEARLY the smartest person on these forums. Please, let me wash your feet by crying on them and drying them with my hair.

Oh, this is going to be good.
[QUOTE=mexicola]
If the vocals is going to be the same style as Scott Stapp's, it's obvious that it's going to be Creed Part 2 and like you said the 'original' Creed weren't that good in the first place.[/QUOTE] The vocals are really not the same style. They are not clearly a PJ-ripoff the way Stapp was, and the talent Myles has is genuine. Seen the movie Rock Star? You know the "kid" that gets brought out of the audience at the end of the film to sing with Mark Wahlberg? That's the lead singer for Alter Bridge. Can you hit those super high notes? No. At times, as I have stated and complained throughout this thread, he DOES sound similar, but the actual music this band has composed is generally different from Creed, so that makes it a relative non-issue in my mind. Besides, the biggest problem everyone had with Creed was not really the voice, but the incurable pretentiousness of the lyrics and the singer's ridiculous dickheaded-ness, which is why Creed broke up in the first place.
I'd rather listen to other albums.
By all means do so. Write a review or two. I'll be checking to see if they're biased or not.

This is retarded. Just because you or people you know may not like Alter Bridge and Simple Plan does not mean that no one will, or that no people will even consider getting it. This is a close-minded and hopelessly ignorant statement. The people that are silly enough to see the band as a carbon copy will not pay attention to what the review says. That does not make the act of writing a review of the album useless. Besides, a review that's worth its salt will reflect an OPINION. Everyone acquires an opinion the second they finish listening to an album, and so any accurate review will reflect it. People don't write reviews based on churlish assumptions about "what percentage of people will like it or not." They write reviews to describe the album in a favorable or unfavorable way. A review is essentially a recommendation for the product or against it, and therefore it will be "biased" in one way or another. I highly doubt splashfreak, of all people, is associated with Alter Bridge and is plugging the album to try and gain sales. I think he just likes it and is reccommending it, and like it or not, you simply cannot fault him for it. "What's the point of reviewing something if you already like it?" So that other people who think they may like it will be encouraged to check it out, at which point they will form their own opinion. Besides, I say again, all this is irrelevant to you since you have not heard a single song by the band.
If it sounds exactly the same as Creed, which is does, and I've been unfortunate enough to hear some Creed songs, I think I can make some sort of opinion from what it is going to sound like/sounds like. It doesn't in a lot of parts. The title track, which you can see everyone is raving about, is so awesome in part because it is NOTHING like what Creed usually released. But you wouldn't know this, since you have only heard ONE THIRTY-SECOND SAMPLE. I don't care if you've heard a sample for every one on the album anyway, you still have not heard the album and cannot accurately judge what it sounds like. If you don't like what you hear, don't buy it. But don't make blanket statements, because they are ultimately uninformed and you have no true, knowing basis for making them.

I saw them on tuesday and they were amazing, a 10 minute jamming session where they took request from the crowd, Mark even played Stand Up And Shout from *Rockstar* Myles wouldn't sing though cause he swore he would never sing that song again.
And Myles and Mark took my joined US and Scottish flag on stage, i let them keep it in exchange for me being on the guestlist in March.
| | | Album Rating: 1.0
Isn't Stand Up and Shout by Dio? Or is it a different song?
| | |
mexicola, you are an idiot. Ripper knows what he is talking about, and you do not.
listen to this album, and then give some opinions that arent like BuT POnE Sopnmg SoUn DAs LIkE CreEd TehY Sucks!
if you dont like alter bridge, go **** off and spam some other review thread
| | |
I think Mexicola is an examply of the complete idiocy of the Wind-up's promotion of AB. He has most likely heard a part of open your eyes, the absolute most creed-sounding song on the album. So he just assumes that they are Creed 2.
Now granted, this doesn't make it right--judging a band after hearing thirty seconds of a song, or even just one song, is retarded--but it is common.
By the way Ripper, you are wrong. I am really an undercover promotionist of windup records, and I mindlessly endorse any band that they are responsible for. I wrote this review for the sole purpose of increasing sales of their album. Next up is twelve stones, then submersed, then... lol
By the way, that was a great post 88 fingers!
And Myles can SHRED?! DANG I want to see them live... *seeths inwardly*

man he shreds good, seriously well.
