Last post in these forums I hope also!

Amen

^that has to be the most delayed response i have ever seen...

haha, yeah i have been kinda busy getting my new band off the ground, was out of state for recording. i still cant beleive all these morons hating AB just because of creed.....if they hadnt been in creed all the people bashing them now would be saying they are friggen awesome

^yeah, true, but some of the people on here don't like AB just because they don't like good music, not because Tremonti/Philip's/Marshal used to be in Creed.

Almost NOBODY on here has good taste in music... :thumb:

jk--seriously, I'm just kidding!

You can't claim that someone has bad taste in music just because they don't like Alter Bridge.

Congratulations, splashfreak. You just lost all of my respect for being such an opinionated asshole. Seriously, that comment was uncalled for. I don't call everyone who doesn't like Radiohead a person that doesn't have any taste in music. You need to grow up.

[QUOTE=splashfreak]^yeah, true, but some of the people on here don't like AB just because they don't like good music, not because Tremonti/Philip's/Marshal used to be in Creed.

In fact, almost NOBODY on here has good taste in music...[/QUOTE]

Jeez, man, I was pretty much on your side early on in the thread, but you just ruined any possible shot you might have had at being a person appropriate for this forum. You're opinionated, childish, and despite all your protests to the contrary you have basically said time and time again that if somebody doesn't like Alter Bridge, they automatically have terrible taste in music. I'm gonna have to agree with RollerQueen and say grow the **** up. You have no place being in a discussion forum if you think the equivilant of "respecting your opinion" is for everybody to agree to it without a second's thought. You need to seriously reconsider what you're here for if you continue on your ignorant, closed-minded path.

I completely agree! Fantastic album. In Loving Memory is mine and my gf's song now heehee

As I am currently poor I need to buy it soon lol *listened to friends copy* Burn it Down is extremely monotonous though. I must admit I didn't know it was a creed side project, I find creed very boring and thier songs a bit too long for my liking but this is a fantastic improvement to thier previous status in my books :D

You have a disturbed avatar. Stop futher posts on this forums or you will infect us all.

^funny how posts like mine, which was intended to be sarcastic and was not meant to be taken seriously at all, get absolutely blown out of proportion and flamed to death, while a post as dumb as this one usually gets through with no argument.

[QUOTE=splashfreak]But also, as far as I'm concerned, if you don't like AB, you don't have that great of taste in music. I mean, if you liked the baltimore ravens (NFL), I'd think you root for terrible team(s)! It isn't like I think you are an IDIOT for having different tastes in music, i just think you are wrong...[/QUOTE]

maybe there's a crucial typo or something but are you actually saying you have bad taste if you don't like AB?

EDIT: on the topic of the album, I've heard the single (forget the name), and if that's one of the best song's on the album I'm not impressed at all. I've heard that the guitarist was supposedly very good and I found it to be a let down when I heard it.

[QUOTE=splashfreak]Wow... didn't mean to set that off. I was kind of being sarcastic. I didn't really mean no one else has good taste in music... *mutters about forgetting to put smiley face*

That is the kind of thing i would just say with a smile on my face and laugh if we were face to face. Sure other people don't have the same taste in music, I didn't mean to say that everyone else REALLY had crappy taste in music...

Sorry if you guys took that the wrong way. Seriously, I don't have any problems with other people having different opinions. I wasn't trying to end a relavent discussion either. It was just a little comment that looks a lot worse reading it on the screen after you write it then when you are thinking it in your head.

But also, as far as I'm concerned, if you don't like AB, you don't have that great of taste in music. I mean, if you liked the baltimore ravens (NFL), I'd think you root for terrible team(s)! It isn't like I think you are an IDIOT for having different tastes in music, i just think you are wrong...

I mean, reading over my post, it did look a little provocative--not its intention--but I think you guys blew that one out of proportion.[/QUOTE]

First three paragraphs, awesome apology. Second two, awesome way to ****ing ruin it. You seem to know as much about quitting while you're ahead as you do about respect. Time for you to get the hell out of this thread.

Jesus h. Christ, man, you write this review that doesn't even follow the rules, and you obviously do not have a very wide range of musical tastes, because while I love Alter Bridge they are still far from the "best band I have ever heard." Because of that you have absolutely no fundamental right to be saying **** like "anybody who dislikes Alter Bridge does not like good music." You have a right to your opinion. You have absolutely no right to take your limited musical view and use it as the perfect standard by which everybody's opinion should be judged. Nobody is "wrong" if they dislike Alter Bridge. You have crossed the line to where you're spitting **** out your *** like it's a god**** cannon SO many times that I can hardly avoid vomiting all over your posts. What is wrong with you? Is there such a thing as RESPECT where you come from?

[QUOTE=splashfreak]Forget it. Freaking forget it. I stinkin apologize, trying to explain i was not being serious, and you STILL aren't happy. Well, you can pat yourself on the back, because your right, it is time to leave these forums. I'm leaving, and i'm NOT coming back, because of people like you.

I DON'T think someone has good taste in music if they don't like what i like. That isn't stupid, or moronic, it is TRUE. It doesn't mean they are idiots, heck, their music might be more technically advanced, the people might have more talent, and it might be far more popular, but they still have bad music tastes IN MY OPINION. That doesn't mean they are bad PERIOD, it just means, basically, that they are different from mine. THAT was what i was trying to say.

And my taste of music is narrow? How on earth do you know that? just because AB is my favorite band doesn't mean i don't like other bands. I like everything from Radiohead to Bon Jovi to dream theatre to Eiffel 65 (anyone remember them? ;-), to Yes, to the Who, to led zep, oasis, and tons of other bands. Yeah most of it is rock and roll, but rock and roll takes up the large part of mainstream music today (except for rap and all that nonsense). If you want me to say some non rock influences, i like Beethoven and Bach, and I DON'T like Mozart.

And even if my music taste WAS limited, i'm not claiming it is the standard by which ALL should be judged. I'm claiming it is the standards by which I--ME--judges. AND EVERYONE DOES THAT. They might not put it into words, but everyone does. Everyone not only has opinions, but also opinions of OTHER PEOPLES opinions. That is nothing new, and everyone does it. To say i'm different in that way, or being obnoxious, is downright wrong.

But my goodness, I am sick of arguing. I have my opinion on a band, i wrote a review on their album, and THIS happens? Should never have wasted twenty minutes of my life.[/QUOTE]

Okay, listen. It's high time for ME to apologize at this point. I got quite carried away back there, and the last thing I wanted for you to do was to quit on Musicians Forums altogether. I hope you read this, because I am sorry. It just seemed as though you were saying certain things that made me very angry, but I think I was, indeed, taking everything a bit too literally. This just goes to show that you should be careful about what you say, I guess, because you never know when you're gonna set an idealist like myself off the deep end :thumb: I'm sorry for flaming you out there. I'll agree to disagree and I'm sure that's what you've been trying to do all along, so let's just leave it and talk some more about the album instead of each other's opinions. Arguing can be fun, but after I read your last post it certainly wasn't anymore. Hope you don't quit out on us. Sorry.

OOH i like this topic.

I have been following Alter Bridge since i read on creed.com that the band had broken up and that Tremo, Flip and Brian were forming a new band.

I loved creed with a passion, i liked Scott Stapps voice and admire him for writing some brilliant songs. How one person could write lyrics like that was beyond me.

I mostly liked Creed for Tremo's guitar playing, it goes from that soft sound in "One" to the hard sound of "Signs".

I admit that Scott Stapp did have a huge ego and still does. But thats enough about Creed, Creed are finished over and a new chapter begins.

Alter Bridge

Theres been alot of people who have questioned Myles Kennedy's voice, should it be in this sort of rock music? I say hell yeah!!!
Myles has the perfect voice for this type of music, and i don't think he sounds one bit like Stapp, there are so many differences it's impossible to compare them.

Tremo has absolutely blown me away witth this album. He wrote every piece of music for this album and wrote the lyrics for 10 out of the 11 songs on the album. "Open Your Eyes" was a band effort where everyone put in their different ideas of what the song should sound like.

"In Loving Memory" was written by Mark in memory of his mother who died last year. The music and lyrics for this song are perfect.

Myles Kennedy wrote one song on the album which i think was "Burn it Down".

Laters Dudes

I think he should be banned for advertising. Who's really going to join that Alter Bridge message board? I'm sure splashfreak already knows about it, and anyone else who really likes the band.
