Surprising Band of the Week

Alterbridge

After kicking out teh old singer, and gettin' a new one, Creed have turned into the strange animal we call Alterbridge.

I heard 'Open your Eyes' and was quite pleasantly surprised with the good singing, good guitar, and overal good music. Then when it got to the guitar solo, I was blown out of my seat. For a pretty current, popular band, this is previously unheard of! If this song is to judge by, the rest of the album should be great!

:confused2

Nope, it's just that wherever I am it is either the edge or ZM

Hmm, I guess I have been too slack in my music lately, back to my Finnish Death Metal, I assume.

and IIRC, the single was actually released the week after they announced the break up... f*ck i hate "the rock" bloody creed nickleback alterbridge coldplay station that it is

**SPORK** · 19th November 2004, 18:24

Yep. No really good stations in NZ.

Perhaps we need to do something about it...

I would tend to agree. All except for Nickelback are quite reasonable. There's this famous thing floating round the net, a sample of two of Nickelback songs played back to back, and with the exception of the lyrics, they are identical!

I like your pants around your feet
And I like the dirt that's on your knees
And I like the way you say please
While you're looking up at me
You're like my favorite damn disease

Gotta love lyrics like that accompanied by a heavy guitar riff

Bah. Haven't really heard a good rock band in ages.

I thought I might have gotten lucky when Scott Weiland joined with the Guns and Roses boys to form Velvet Revolver, but after listening to Contraband a few times all I want to do is put on "Stone Temple Pilots - Core" - a much better album.

Still, it was fun working out the lead to Fall to Pieces - for the five minutes it took :sly:

I think you need to download some Children of Bodom, Celtic! Get Angels Dont Kill, or Repent, or anything! It's all good in the hood.

I hate nickelback. I thought there was a big joke on me where all the radio stations would keep playing it and people would ring up to request it to make me go crazy.
