Nothing compares...

Yes, I love the new song by Alter Bridge, and was highly anticipating hearing it, but nothing will compare to the anticipation I had for "My Sacrifice". When I heard it for the first time, I couldn't believe it, it was so awesome..."Open Your Eyes" is awesome, but "My Sacrifice" made a bigger impression on me the first time I heard it...

I agree "My Sacrifice" really touched my soul the first time I heard it the words the delivery and the music it was just that powerful to me. OYE does nothing for me it just seems like a top 40 song.

Just my opinion.

I agree about My Sacrifice being a more powerful song... but you're comparing Creed's biggest hit of their career spanning 3 full CD's worth of music to the first single by a new band??? I read this and thought, "Yeah, so what's your point?" Did someone try to make the point that this was better than any Creed song ever and you are responding?

I don't know about My Sacrifice, but for me, nothing compares to when I heard My Own Prison on the radio the first time back in late 1997 / early 1998.

Personally I think "Open Your Eyes" is a better tune than My Sacrifice. I really think I'm liking Myles' voice better than Stapp's. As of now, nothing will beat the My Own Prison CD, but I am thinking this new AB CD just may beat out Human Clay and Weathered in my book

As of now I have only heard the lyrics to OYE but comparing the lyrical side of this to My Sacrifice, My Sacrifice, to me, is better. OYE is amazing, it really is, but My Sacrifce was a song that hit me deeply once I heard it, because it relates to something I have been through, and it hit me hard

actually I think Higher and WAWO were bigger hits than MS

My Sacrifice will always be one of my favorites because it's the song that got me into Creed. WWE used the song during their "Desire" vignettes and that's where i first heard it.

I'm not saying one song is better than the other, I was just saying that the expectation of "My Sacrifice" blew me away more than "Open Your Eyes" did, that's all...

I still don't get people comparing things...but whatever at this point.

I was more excited for this song than I was eagerly awaiting hearing MS on the radio. I knew it (Open Your Eyes) was going to be different...this isn't just the first single of a new album...it's the first single from a new band!!

Yes, I was excited for MS in 2001....but I was excited for this one in a different way..

I think WAWO was the biggest hit, especially in terms of air play, then Higher. I think One Last Breath was their biggest hit off Weathered, then My Sacrifice.

I LOVED the way WWE promoted the song and album. So well done.
