Quote: (Originally Posted by Steve) When I think of album art, which I also did last night after reading the name, I immediately though of Nickelback's "The Long Road" album cover... take a look...

I was thinking of that also! "The Long Road" looks like "The Long Bridge" on the cover.

Quote: (Originally Posted by Trees of Wisdom) Alter Bridge is better than most band names out there. Audioslave isn't that original of a name. Linkin Park sounds retarded. Hoobastank, huh? Alter Bridge is as original as Submersed.

It's funny that they decided to change their name and to lowercase the letter D in their name. They probably didn't want to be labeled in the nu-metal category. SubmurseD sounds and looks nu-metalish to me.

Linkin Park is actually a name of a park where they use to hang out. Marcy Playground is also a real place that a band named themselves after (remember that 'ol song Sex and Candy?)

E-- Thanks for sharing that stuff about what the bridge does, or the significance of it. I felt like a total idiot when I read Tremonticized1's post that said Mark grew up in that area. I totally forgot he lived there for some reason.

I hope their cover isn't like The Long Road. It was semi-unoriginal. I think Dan could do a better job than something like that.

H-D

Well, well, we'll see 'bout that.

When I hear the name I think of the long bridge in San Fransisco.

Hmm.....at first I thought it was kinda odd, but now that I read the 'biography' of it, it makes more sense to me. I can't wait until they release a song off of it. I wonder what they'll call the album.

The Lithium · 04-23-2004, 02:32 PM

Micheal told us to expect the album in early Augusti. He also told us that the frist single may be released sometime in June.

Shadow · 04-23-2004, 06:27 PM

Cool, I like it. I like the meaning behind it.

hayley · 04-23-2004, 07:28 PM

Yep, it sure is growing on me too

As for the cover art, well anything to do with Three Mountians (not literally, I'm talking about the art designer) will be awesome because I just LOVE all the art on Creeds albums. I'm hoping they will stay with Three Mountians, even though Daniel Tremonti did it, with Creed, hopefully he will do it with Alter Bridge

WeatheredWoman · 04-23-2004, 08:19 PM

Hmmm... Alter Bridge

I'm honest: I have to get used to it.
When I first saw the name my mind twisted it into AlteredBridge... although I'm not aware of what that exactly means. I have to do a search on the word "altered"...

I also thought of ABC... hahaha.. Alter Bridge Creed...

I wasn't talking about when they weren't signed with Wind-Up. They were called SubmurseD which looks nu-metalish to me.

Sheila63 · 04-23-2004, 08:30 PM

Thanks for all of the info about the name and it's origin everybody.

I have to get used to it too, but I like it.
