Alter Bridge are basically Creed with an excellent new vocalist Myles Kennedy (previously with The Mayfield Four). This is a very strong album with obvious Creed influences, and sees Mark Tremonti displaying real talent as a lead guitarist. Outstanding tracks include "Open Your Eyes", "Broken Wings", "Metalingus" and "Down To My Last". It is mature power rock of the highest caliber. </div> <div> <B>SR rating of 9 out of 10.</B></div> <bR> <div> (by AC, 2004)</div> <bR> <bR> <bR> </tD> </tR> </TABLE></div> <bR> <div> <TABLE BORDER="4" CELLPADDING="2" CELLSPACING="2" WIDTH="754" BORDERCOLORLIGHT="#C0C0C0" BORDERCOLORDARK="#444444" FRAME="BOX" RULES="ALL" HSPACE="0" VSPACE="0" > <tR> <tD VALIGN=TOP HEIGHT= 257 WIDTH="736"><bR> <div> <B><U>ALTER BRIDGE</U></B><B> - Blackbird (2007)</B></div> <bR> <div> <IMG SRC="1299a7a70.jpg" border=0 width="167" height="167" ALIGN="LEFT" HSPACE="10" VSPACE="0"></div> <div> Blackbird is the eagerly anticipated second release from American rockers Alter Bridge. When Alter Bridge formed in 2004  they were billed as Creed with a new vocalist, Myles Kennedy. Yet Alter Bridge are a real force in their own right and have a unity and chemistry that Creed were lacking laterly. They also have a real star in Kennedy who has made a big impact with his incredible voice and great live performances. Guitarist Mark Tremonti also shows real class with his driving riffs, shredding solos and beautiful acoustic work.</div> <div> With Blackbird Alter Bridge`s music remains heavy, melodic and proves quite compelling listening. Stand out tracks include "Brand New Start", "Ties That Bind", "Rise Today" and "Watch Over You". Blackbird is another belter of an album from Alter Bridge!</div> <div> <B>SR rating of 8.5 out of 10.</B></div> <bR> <div> (by AC, 2007)</div> <bR> </tD> </tR> </TABLE></div> <bR> <bR> <div> <B>GIGS -</B></div> <bR> <div> <TABLE BORDER="2" CELLPADDING="2" CELLSPACING="2" WIDTH="660" BORDERCOLORLIGHT="#C0C0C0" BORDERCOLORDARK="#444444" FRAME="BOX" RULES="ALL" HSPACE="0" VSPACE="0" BGCOLOR=#000000 > <tR> <tD VALIGN=TOP BGCOLOR=#000000 HEIGHT= 462 WIDTH="646"><bR> <div> <B><U>ALTER BRIDGE</U></B><B> & LOGAN, The Glasgow Academy 10/11/05</B></div> <div> Very seldom does a gig come along where you get two great bands for the price of one, it's like Asda doing a special offer on your favourite beer, and that's what a packed Glasgow crowd got tonight.</div> <div> Local boys Logan were the special guests for the hugely popular Alter Bridge, and the Academy was certainly filling up long before they hit the stage, quite unusual for a support band. Many had come to see Logan, myself included after seeing them recently with Diamond Head. These guys work extremely hard to deliver top quality songs and performance and they didn't disappoint tonight. "From the moment I wake...", "Gone", "Time has come" were delivered with a rocking punch which had the crowd bouncing and singing along. Singer Kenny Collins has a truly remarkable voice and I was amazed at the playing of drummer Iain Stratton, but it was hard not to notice how much these guys were enjoying playing to a home crowd. The excellent "Something else" rounded off a great performance and it still stuns me that they haven't got a recording deal, but going by this performance it won't be long in materialising.</div> <div> I was introduced to Alter Bridge by my partner in crime Alan and it's yet another debt I owe him (Thanks again for the tickets!). Again these guys literally blew me away. Mark Tremonti is a great guitarist showing off his talents on "One day remains" and opener "Find the real" but it was singer Myles Kennedy I wanted to see. There are many singers who just can't deliver it live but not so in this case, Kennedy's voice sounds even better in the flesh as he pounced about the stage. It was also great for old timers like me to see them halfway through their set, burst into DC's "Whole lotta rosie" and Zep's "rock n Roll", both done to perfection. The rest of the set came from the debut album, "Broken wings" another stand out, and set closer "Open your eyes" sent me home with a big smile on my face, a really great gig.</div> <div> Special mention to Logan who did a "meet and greet" at the T-shirt stall as the crowd left, and they were mobbed... told you they were hard working!</div> <div> Peter White (23/11/05)</div> <bR> </tD> </tR> </TABLE></div> <bR> <div> <B><U>ALTER BRIDGE</U></B><B> </B><B>& LOGAN, The Glasgow Garage  30/11/04 - </B><A HREF="id154_alter_bridge.htm" TARGET="_top" TITLE="GIG REVIEWS 3"><U><B>HERE</B></U></A></div> <bR> <div>  <A NAME="albums"><IMG BORDER="0" SRC="1x1.gif" HEIGHT="1" ALIGN="bottom" WIDTH="1" HSPACE="0" VSPACE="0" ></A></div> <div> <B><U>ALBUMS</U></B></div> <bR> <div> <IMG SRC="129c7c7c0.jpg" border=0 width="124" height="124" ALIGN="BOTTOM" HSPACE="0" VSPACE="0"><IMG SRC="129d7c7c0.jpg" border=0 width="124" height="124" ALIGN="BOTTOM" HSPACE="0" VSPACE="0"></div> <bR> <div> <B>ONE DAY REMAINS (2004)</B><B> -</B><B> </B> SR Rating Of 9 Out Of 10.
