Myles is a bad name; that's all there is to it. Also, I don't really hate or like Alter Bridge because I haven't heard enough songs to judge them effectively, but since that whole genre of music is "iffy" to me, and 3/4 of Creed is still a bad combination to me, I will refrain from giving this band my approval.
I actually kinda like Myles... anyway, that kind of thing is strictly opinion, and shouldn't have any bearing on whether or not you like the band anyway (not saying you ARE letting it affect your judgement, I'm just making a broad sweeping statement).
Well, if you don't like hard rock/metal, yeah, you won't like Alter Bridge, but then again if you don't like music, you won't like any bands... Anyway, they REALLY DON'T sound that much like Creed, except for one or two songs--the most extreme of which is Open your Eyes. Using a first single that sounds like Creed was probably the dumbest marketing strategy ever. I mean, Cred fans would follow them anyway, right? They should have done one day remains, with Metalingus being their second single, and maybe down to my last as their final single.
It's not really a solo. It is so short. And plus Frusciante whips out solos. And so do tons of bands. People who complain about their being no solos are just narrow minded idiots who only listen too the mainstream.
It isn't a solo? How long do you want 'em to be?

I like the minute long solos. Or more than like 10 seconds. You know good ol' Pink Floyd time.
|
| |
it is more than ten seconds, don't be ridiculous. I mean, it isn't ridiculously long, but if it goes on forever, there might be reason for concern considering the guitarist showing off... I don't know. I'm a drummer, mainly, so long guitar solos bother me ;-)

I'm a bassist. Hehe. I just love the long slow guitar solos. They are awesome.

I have offended someone with a Creed avatar, alert the authorities.

My band needs a bassist. Too bad you are probably a lot older than us, don't like the same type of music as us, and don't live in the same half country as us ;-) (or maybe not even the same country!)

i'll say this tremonti knows the guitar
sometimes when u here someone play u think man this guy or girl has it down they know it all there isn't much headroom for them tremonti is one of those players
also one thing that differs from rock and pop is that is rock no one really cares about the people it's all music whereas in pop artists use music to promote THEMSELVES

I'm 16 and play any kind of music I can. But I live in the ghetto.

I'm pretty sure I know another guy in Virginia on MX. He plays death metal though, so never mind.

I don't want to get insanely off-topic, but West Virginia and Virginia are two different states ;-)

I live in England; "Virginia" is good enough for me =)

West Virginia and Virginia are like England and Wales; whole different matters.

[QUOTE=Chrome54]it's a pretty difficult thing, to give an unbiased review, not only because you have to find a way to escape your current mindset regarding the people you're reviewing, but you have to be ready to face the flame war at the end of the road.
for example, let's say i review britney spears...
biased mode:
"this album is industry generated garbage, don't buy it."
result:
britney spears fan - "you writing a biased review, you piece of poo!"
unbiased mode:
"this album is very upbeat, and has serious hooks, and excellent production values" (it makes my stomach turn to have to say that, but i need to illustrate the point)
result:
britney hater - "wow man you're ****ed. go get laid and buy a guitar. you need it, cause you SUCK!"
see what i mean?[/QUOTE]
No, "biased mode" is YOUR biased review of Britney Spears, and "unbiased review" is more like the biased review of a fan of Britney Spears. Don't know how they could be a fan unless they had only listened to horribly mainstream pop music.

Wales differs to England only in that there is an abundance of sheep. And leeks

Sorry, but Chrome54 is accurate. Mentioning positive aspects of an album is not biased at all, and you're acting just like the "britney hater" described in his post.

Lock this mainstream thread trash

Heres my last comment. Like what you like post it and move on. Its really tough to change peoples opinions and such so I'd say give up, I fought the battle many times. I would like to say to the Ab haters, that you should give them a chance. If you consider them mainstream they are one of the more down to earth bands that has put out a good album, plus there one of the best live imo. But yeah everyone has there opinions and I say respect them. To everyone there own and have a wonderful day
Rock on AB!
