The swan song to the classic rock bands of the 1970s, Alter Bridge comprises three of four former members of [[
AB dropped ''One Day Remains'' in 2004. The album was largely recognized as a [[Surprisingly Improved Sequel|definite]] [[Growing the Beard|improvement]] over Creed and very well received. AB spent the next few years trying to make the [[Old Shame|Creed]] comparisons end. They finally did after they released their second album, ''Blackbird'', in 2007.
Line 19:
=== Alter Bridge provides examples of: ===
* [[A Day in
* [[The Alcoholic]]: "Buried Alive"
** "Drank so much last night, I think that I drowned / But now my cup is empty..."<ref>Burn It Down</ref>
* [[Alternative Metal]]/[[Post-Grunge]]: A bit of both. Though since Kennedy tends to sound like 1/8 [[Nose Yodeling]], 1/8 R&B, 1/8 blues and 5/8 [[Soundgarden
* [[Audience Participation Song]]: Pretty common.
* [[Badass Boast]]: Any given fight song, like "Metalingus" and "White Knuckles".
Line 32:
* [[Cover Version]]: Very common and often spontaneous. In Tremonti's words:
{{quote| "Before Myles joined Alter Bridge, he sang in many, many cover bands to put himself through college, and he knows every song known to man. So I want you guys to scream out the names to songs you want to hear, and I guarantee this guy here knows it".}}
* [[Darker and Edgier]]: Compared to [[
** ''AB III'', compared to their previous albums.
* [[Despair Event Horizon]]: "All Hope Is Gone".
Line 40:
* [[Lyrical Dissonance]]: "Watch Over You". Beautiful ballad that's generally performed acoustically... and the lyrics boil down to "I can't deal with your problems anymore; I'm outta here."
* [[Mohs Scale of Rock and Metal Hardness]]: Their radio friendly tunes are usually a 5 or 6, but their faster works like "Metalingus", "Ties That Bind" and certain guitar solos tread into a 7.
* [[Neoclassical Punk Zydeco Rockabilly]]: Myles' voice is essentially hard rock wailing ala [[Led Zeppelin
* [[One-Hit Wonder]]: "Metalingus," from their first album, is the only song by the band to have had any major impact outside of rock radio stations. This is because it is the theme song for professional wrestler Edge. Ironically, "Metalingus" was never one of the band's singles and therefore never got any rock airplay.
* [[The Band Minus the Face]]: [[
* [[Self-Backing Vocalist]]: Myles' voice is overdubbed quite a bit (including much echo).
* [[Signature Song]]: Their general set-ender is "Rise Today". When Kennedy toured with Slash, it was the only AB song in the set.
* [[Spiritual Successor]]: They've been called "The young [[
** If only "Blackbird" the song got actual radio play while the album was being promoted.
* [[Step Up to The Mic]]: Tremonti sometimes does this live.
