[edit] Unnecessary

I found this statement right under the discography: "alter bridge is gay." Someone's not too bright, it was posted by:69.255.147.168

[edit] Odd Sentence

Alter Bridge is also responsible for the 2005 Royal Rumble theme song, "Find the Real."

Does that not kind of make it sound like it is a bad thing...

I don't think so, it's like when you say an artist is responsible for the #1 song of the year. TJ Spyke 21:58, 18 June 2006 (UTC)

[edit] WHY KEEP COMPARING AB WITH CREED?

Maybe the band will be able to get out of the shadows of Creed if we stop COMPARING the two bands

When two bands have the same members(other than the lead singer) then you will have people comparing them. TJ Spyke 21:57, 18 June 2006 (UTC)

  • I'd have to disagree. Audioslave gets compared much less to Rage Against The Machine then Alter Bridge does to Creed. - Ecksem Diem 05:30, 5 August 2006 (UTC)
  • I'm a fan of both bands, and, in my opinion, they're much different. But it happens that when I introduce some Alter songs to people who have never heard it, the first thing they say is "whoa, it sounds a lot like Creed" whithout even knowing the band's Line-up. Maybe it's a difference only fans can tell (I'm talking lyrical/Instrumental, the difference between Scott's voice and Myle's is obvious)
  • Alter Bridge are nothing like Creed, and it's absoloutely ridiculous that they should be compared against Creed. It's like comparing potatos to peas.

They're completely different. I'm indifferent to Creed but am a massive fan of Alter Bridge. If someone has completely different opinions about them they can't be that alike. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 219.88.6.104 (talk) 05:53, 5 January 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Alter Bridge a "Supergroup"?

Uh... I don't think so... Daniel Villalobos 16:59, 24 August 2006 (UTC)

Hardly a supergroup. AcilletaM 05:50, 21 September 2006 (UTC)

Just because they've been in another band doesn't make them a supergroup. --Ortzinator 15:08, 29 September 2006 (UTC)

Creed were huge. As all of the members of the band were at one point or another, other than Myles, in Creed, how could they NOT be considered a supergroup? Creed are hugely famous. James25402 18:47, 1 August 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Whole Thing Should Be Scrapped

This article as a whole is very poorly written. Short choppy sentances, personal opinions made to sound like fact, weasel words, un-seperated information section, band promotion, and absolutely no supporting sources to back up anything that is stated in the article...this one has it all, folks. Someone with knowledge of the band really needs to sweep through and write something that's informative and useful, rather than what appears to be a quasi-advertisiment written by someone with a 4th grade writing proficiency.—The preceding unsigned comment was added by 207.118.151.127 (talk) .

[edit] Genre in the article Intro

I put that Alter Bridge is a hard rock band in the intro sentence. This is easily defined and should be pretty much acceptable to anyone who has listened to them. Some people have chosen to further pigeonhole them into further subcategories such as Alternative Metal or Post-Grunge, but these would be better addressed later in the article instead of the intro since neither sub-genre is readily recognized. --FitzTheMariner 02:07, 7 February 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Ahavo Rabo Taco Salad

Does anyone know where i can download this song?

This song is fake and is a hoax. I am sure you saw this on Ultimate-Guitar.com, well this song isnt true. It is fake. Alter Bridge did no such work. 75.85.231.127 23:49, 20 July 2007 (UTC)
Then why is there a video of Alter Bridge playing this very song? http://youtube.com/watch?v=HKFfR8mgEXQ The beginning is not Ahavo Rabo Taco Salad but this is a live performance of it. I dont know why you would think the song is a fake. Its very real.--Shardsoffork 21:25, 22 July 2007 (UTC)

This song is real. The magazine provided the tab and the CD for the music. Youtube as well as bit torrents have the song available. They have worked it into a couple of live sets. NMBJ69 (talk) 02:41, 6 April 2008 (UTC)

[edit] New Single

Will this be recieving any airplay on radio before the release date? and if it will does anyone know how i will hear it in the UK?86.152.2.249 12:12, 24 July 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Blackbird Album Cover?

Any updates on the album cover for their upcoming release? Nardulli22 01:03, 2 August 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Record Sales

The record sales for One Day Remains outside of the United States keeps saying 3,000,000. This has been refuted multiple times by the band in interviews. I have seen it corrected but then it always goes back to 3,000,000. I am not sure who is providing the incorrect figures.

Rock Louder's Chris Leonard interviewed the band and this is what they said:

"RL: Your debut 'One Day Remains' sold around 3 million world wide is that right? Myles: Haha, I wish!!

RL: Well that's what we got from the internet! Myles: Really? Wow! Well you know it's funny, there's so many stupid numbers around about album sales and stuff. Mark: I think it's actually about 750,000."

RL= Rock Louder (Chris Leonard) Myles = Myles Kennedy (singer/guitar player) Mark = Mark Tremonti (guitar player)

IP address 79.78.95.31 is one of the noobs that keeps changing the international sales figures to the wrong amounts. —Preceding unsigned comment added by NMBJ69 (talk • contribs) 21:28, 12 April 2008 (UTC)
