Alter Bridge Still Together, New Album Coming Soon

[Orange]

Alter Bridge is nearly finished with their as-of-yet untitled third album, which is currently being mixed. In a post on the band's website, they said they are targeting a September release.

"The next step in the process is mixing, which already began in mid-April, in New York," the band stated in a post on their website. "The mixing will probably take a few weeks and once that is finished, we will begin the difficult task of deciding which songs will make the album."


The post also stated the band plans to tour Europe in October starting with dates in the UK.

Last fall Alter Bridge lead singer Myles Kennedy announced plans to release a solo album, while his band mates tour with Scott Stapp and Creed. Earlier this month Kennedy stated that his solo album was put on hold to focus specifically on the new Alter Bridge album.

From Ultimate-Guitar. Good news to hear, Myles Kennedy has one of the most amazing voices I've ever heard, it just soars and soars

Hell yeah! I think they're great, one of the better rock bands now a days. I thought they were finished after Creed got back together.

So what happened to new Creed?

[Chiral]

AB is favorite band, so I personally can't wait for ABIII.

They reunited and didn't exactly light the world on fire. Their new album, Full Circle, didn't even break 500,000 in sales (in fact, I think they sold less than 350,000 copies.). it was their worst selling album and the only one they've ever released that didn't get some kind of certification (Gold, Platinum, or Diamond) by the RIAA.

In essence, they reuinted and no one cared.

The CD also sucked much ass which didn't help.

They might rename X-Pac Heat to Scott Stapp heat.

I just think people can't stand that douche enough to stomach his Eddie Vedder-lite (REALLY lite) act.

They are on tour again this summer. I think Joe Elliot put it best when he said "These days you put on an album to promote a tour as oppose to a concert promoting an album"

Basically I think that the 3 Creed/Alter Bridge members know where their bread is buttered and does the Creed shows to make money while AB is still does albums and small venues (ala Blink 182)

Still, 350,000 copies sold in this day and age is very good. Most artists would kill for something like that. And I don't just mean random indie artist #726, i'm talking about popular bands too.

[VengeanceGOD]

That makes me so happy. I love these guys.

[The Summer of Muskrat XVII]

Sweet, I loved Alter Bridge.

Creed is just damn GENERIC sounding. Same with Nickleback and remember that band Defualt? Such an ironic band name, default.
