Michael updates us a little more
 

Michael posted over at one of the Alter Bridge boards correcting a fansite's music info. This is the direct quote....

Just wanted to correct some info you have printed on your music page on the alterbridgeband.net site. There is no song on the new CD titled Strange. That was the song that Mark did with Jimmy's Chicken Shack. Actually all Mark did on that song was help Jimmy with the melody for the chorus. There is also no song titled Holiday. The song Metalingus, which is heavy and awesome, is still the title for that song and may not change now. The song is way to heavy to get any radio airplay, although it is still very melodic, and the title is hillarious so we'll see if it stays. The song about our mom is titled In Loving Memory Of and this one will definately be a single down the road. The raw emotion of this song is simply staggering. Myles sings it in a very soulfull and haunting way. I think this song will affect the masses like With Arms Wide Open did, although in a different way. It is a song that brings tears to just about eveyone who has heard it.

Thanks for posting that Hide. I am really looking for the album now.

sure thing can't wait to hear "in loving memory of" and "metalingus" (i'm stoked that they may stay as the title funny as) must be metal or close to it! :) i honestly thought the former may be too personal to be a single but it sounds incredibly touching.

I wonder how people would react to the song. I am expecting the song to have awesome shred solos in tribute to Mark and Michael's mother.

I can't wait to hear it and judge it for myself.

i don't know if this song will have awesome shred solos because of the nature of the song. i could be wrong....rockgoddess?

I cannot wait for there debut cd let alone there first single. OMG Please let it come soon.

I can't wait!

I think they got the Holidays thing from a post I made on AB bb. Just want to make it clear: I said that Mark wrote a song about the holidays and he played only to his family around Christmas. I think Michael mentioned it somewhere. He also added that it brought tears to everybody's eyes. BUT I NEVER said it was gonna be an Alter Bridge song.

I do like the title Metalingus for a song!

Well, not balls to the wall shreds, but like a shred solo from the song "The Unforgiven".

I can't wait to hear all of this. I bet "In Loving Memory Of" will be a really good song. Since the CD will come out in the summer, I think, maybe I can wait at Wal-Mart the day before and at 12:01 if it's not already out on the shelf, I'll go ask about it! I will definatly buy it as soon as possible. Alter Bridge better come to Oklahoma City!

Let's just agree that Alter Bridge better come to every city on the globe. :D

haha, OKC first!

Dont Go to walmart Saxon it sucks, Go to Best buy, :)

I hate Walmart. Everything there is cheap, but terrible quality. Walmart is just killing small business. Damn them!

Thanks for posting the update from Michael. I'm going to have to check out that alterbridgeband.net address. Haven't heard of that one.


H-D :driving:

Hey guys! Just checkin in, that alterbridgeband.net site is partially mine... I did most of the design anyway, my friend Kim actually paid for the site and it was her idea and then I kinda took over and made the site... lol...

But, right now the site is down. I'm not really at liberty to say why, but it should be back in a few days.
