    Neither of those songs sound anything like Creed at all.


    Yes they do, sounds just like all the other corporate rock on the radio

    Rise Today might, but Ties That Bind is far heavier than the average alt rock shit you are lumping them in with.

    i actually think both of the songs on their myspace are pretty decent. nothing groundbreaking, but fun enough to listen to. maybe i'll check them out, i had just kinda written them off before.

    They are a very talented band, if nothing else - and also very very good live, Kennedy is probably the best technical live vocalist I've ever heard, he can replicate the stuff on record and then some.

    I'm sure Alter Bridge has a lot of threads here.

    1. Hey Oppie and pjoasis are you guys just going to get married already?
    2. Wow....I did feel a bit so-so about "Rise Today" but "Ties That Bind" kicks some serious ass. It rocks like a mule and I love Kennedy holding that note towards the end there. Guys like Cornell get some serious cred around here and this guy is at least as good. It just so happens he formed a band with the ex-members of Creed which isn't so popular around these parts. The version of "Rise Today" on the myspace is a much better quality but "Ties That Bind" is a much better song IMO.
    The wind is blowing cold
    Have we lost our way tonight?
    Have we lost our hope to sorrow?

    Feels like were all alone
    Running further from what’s right
    And there are no more heroes to follow

    So what are we becoming?
    Where did we go wrong?

    Nice bunch of guys too, I've met them a couple of times after shows, and they took time to talk to everyone signed anything and took pictures with everyone. Considering 3 of them have been in a band that's sold over 30 million records, I thought that was pretty damn impressive, most bands wouldn't bother.

    Anyway, apparently the rest of the album is way heavier than the first one, and according to Tremonti's brother there's a song called Burried Alive that 'absolutely crushes Ties That Bind'! Can't wait!

    I have not had the chance to listen to any of the new stuff yet but I am quite looking forwards to hearing it.
    I so agree on them being really nice guys, I met them the other year and Myles is one of the nicest people I have met, he was just really cool and managed to get my boyfriend a backstage pass.

    Ain't gonna be any middle anymore.

    Yeah he really is a very humble and genuine guy, part of the reason why it irritates me when people won't cut them a break. Anyway, just head to their myspace for the new tunes.

    Buried Alive is a better song as is Come To Life. Both of those songs are on the Pinkpop 06 performance along with Ties That Bind. They are all really good songs.

    Oh yeah, I've heard those songs, I was more referring to the album versions - apparently they've come quite a long way since those early performances. I can't wait to hear what they've done with Come To Life, I loved that song the minute I heard it.
