Alter Bridge Options

[GuitarC]

These guys have been around for a few years and you may know that the 4 piece is made up of 3 humble guys from the 90's famous band "Creed" and another very humble guy name Myles Kennedy (the humbleness is probably why they get along so well lol). Along with the down to earth attitude comes some incredible talent. Alter Bridge is about to release their 3rd CD in a few months. Right now the guys are busy with different projects. Creed is now touring and Slash wanted Myles to sing on his CD and was so impressed he asked him to front his tour.

Here is a great song from Alter Bridge's last album. Someone was inspired by the song and put a very meaningful slideshow together.

Hey Denise,

I was not aware of "Rockin' for Mining" so I checked it out and what you started there was cool. Sad it did not continue

You and Dan wanting to hear my stuff sparked some musical creativity! Last night after teaching I had an idea and recorded the audio with my cell phone to capture the idea. This may sound strange but I have a little recording studio that I set up almost 3 years ago and for about a year I used it to record my ideas and rough tracks with plans to record some new stuff and record songs I have had for years. I did use it a little and got lots of ideas and jam tracks down but never had a need to put them to CD so these short ideas are not mixed or mastered. Life happens and things changed and I moved on to other things like hardscaping, working on the house, taking on new students etc. One thing led to another and now it has been over a year since I recorded anything in the studio. When I have what I think is a good musical idea I just do what is quickest & easiest and for me that is record my ideas with my cell phone. Before cell phones I always used a small tape recorder when creativity struck. As long as I have my ideas down, I know I can always go back and shape and fine tune them Nothing like having what you think is a good idea and not getting it down and forgetting it!

I need a kick in the butt to get back to recording in my studio and not just for me to have! Maybe you guys have caused that train to get moving!

I feel I am ok with computers and teaching myself how to do things on them. When I first joined the forum just a few days ago I was trying to figure out how you were able to add your own title to a link you inserted. (basic I know LOL). I figured it out as you can see in my posts I mention this because posting or sending audio files has never been something I desired to do. I do have a short acoustic instrumental song I came up with in 2003 for a project when I was taking an audio recording class. I am going to convert it to a smaller file so I can send it to you or post it here somehow lol

Thats fantastic Chris! Rockin' For Mining will always live on, if not just in inviduals who love music and help spread the word of the importance of mining in ALL our lives. Im always spreading the word! Even the Opal bear still rocks on, its just awaiting its new home....hehe

We would love for you to warm up that studio and earn your place in the "Rockin' For Mining" hall of fame list. Could even earn yourself a free stone guitar pick I made. Keep us updated. We would love to hear more of your tunes.


Now back to jamming to Alter Bridge....
"Watch Over You" is one you have to listen to over and over. The acoustic version is the best!!
