Alter Bridge News 11-11-09

Hello Alter Bridge Nation,

We are pleased to announce that full band writing sessions for our third album will resume in the first week of December when Myles will fly down to Florida. We hope to get the writing done by the end of January so that we may start recording in February. Mark is hard at work writing songs (he never stops) for the upcoming album as we speak. We are very excited to meet up in December and we will keep you posted when the process starts.

Right now, Myles is locked up in a recording studio until December laying down tracks for his solo project. We are all psyched to hear what our brother in music comes up with as we are sure it will be astounding. We’ll update you with more on this once Myles emerges from the studio.

For those of you who have yet to hear… Myles was tapped by none other than Slash to co-write and sing a song on Slash’s upcoming solo record. We know it was a dream come true for Myles as GNR was very influential to him. Here is a link to read some news on this…

We also want to thank all of you fans for spreading the word and keeping our Live In Amsterdam DVD in the Top Ten on Amazon.com in Music DVD’s. We do not have any new news to report on when it will be available worldwide or for digital download, other than the fact that our management says they are working on it. You never know how long all this legal stuff will take, so our advice is to take advantage of the Amazon opportunity. Here is a direct link to purchase (the DVD should work on all computers)…

http://www.amazon.com/Alter-Bridge-Live-Amsterdam/dp/B002RKD8CS/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&s=dvd&qid=1257976072&sr=8-1

The only other news that we would like to convey is that we will be back with a vengeance in 2010. Don’t listen to what anyone else says. We are all very supportive of each other in all the projects we do, but never doubt that Alter Bridge is our soul. The plan is to have a new album out for you fans in the second half of 2010. We will tour again as soon as we get the album out. Thank you, again, for being patient while Mark, Brian, Myles and Flip all work on different projects.

We’ll let you know how the writing is coming along once we all get together to work out ”ABIII” (Working Title) in the first week of December. Until then, we hope you enjoy our DVD!

 Keep rocking,

 Alter Bridge

  6. David Says:

  9. Jonners Says:

    The perfect Christmas present would now be for the DVD to be available for all the fans in the UK and Europe.

    Its a while since I saw you guys first, at Wolverhampton Wulfrun Hall in England, a small sweaty venue, and a great gig! Am looking forward to seeing the new stuff live

  10. Smithy Says:

    G’day from Oz.
    Ordered my AB Live DVD…waiting delivery. So excited. Great news on ABIII progress….the regular updates from u guys is a credit to the bands integrity and acknowledgement of their fans loyalty. Just a small gripe…tried to source copies of Myles’ past projects Cosmic Dust Fusion Band and Citizen Swing…..please re-release these rare and now sought after recordings for the die-hards….asking prices through Amazon are an outrage. Not Amazons fault though.
    Cheers and long live AB.
    Smithy.
    ps…Down Under awaits your return.

  11. Scott Says:

  32. Chris Says:

    GREAT to hear! No disrespect to the ‘Creed’ reunion as I have always been a fan, but truth be told - ALTER BRIDGE is hands down my fav and although it is hard not to compare - I truly feel the sound and passion that comes from the four of you in AB is more cohesive and overall superior. As much as i like the new ‘Creed’ album, I cannot wait to hear the next AB album and the DVD is AMAZING! LOVE IT! Thanks guys!

  33. Chris Says:

    Looking forward to a new album. Love to see you guys in Australia one day!

  34. Herman Says:

    Lots of love/ Herman from Stockholm ;)

  35. Ross Says:

    This is amazing news, cant wait for the new album, and get to see you guys again! Would be awesome if you came to England and were at Download festival again, and hopefully come to Bristol too!

    Mark Tremonti - Fan Update 11/16/2009
    Just wanted to give everyone an update about all of the cool stuff on the
    horizon.

    I¹ve been at home in Orlando for about a week, it¹s nice being home as I
    haven¹t been here since the Creed tour started in August. The tour was
    amazing and I had a great time playing, thanks to everyone that came out to
    see us!

    Myles will be coming down in a few weeks so we can put our heads together
    and start writing the new Alter Bridge record. We haven¹t seen each other
    for a few months so it will be good to start working with the Alter Bridge
    lineup again. Elvis Baskette (Producer / Sound Engineer) will be working
    with us on the record when we hit the studio. I¹m really happy the Alter
    Bridge live DVD finally came out; we have been waiting a long time for it.

    There is also a live Creed DVD in the works, but it will be a bit before
    that comes out.

    Now that I¹m done touring, I¹ve had some time to focus on restoring a couple
    of muscle cars that have been sitting in my garage. I¹m getting more serious
    about cars and plan to get into the restoration and building business soon.
    It¹s still in the early stages of development, but it¹s rolling. Stay tuned!

    I¹ve been writing a lot since being home and playing guitar everyday. Lately
    I¹ve been playing a lot of Warren Haynes, learning his solos and techniques.
    Reading is also something that consumes my time, Book of the New Sun by Gene
    Wolfe and Old Man¹s War by John Scalzi are two books that I¹ve been switch
    reading.

    And most important of all, my two boys are always keeping me busy at home!

    Mark

  38. Matthew Patrick Says:

    Hi! When will the dvd be available in South Africa? Please email me.

  39. tremontizied Says:

    I can’t wait for AB3, and hopefully we finally get a long Instrumental in there! I went to two creed shows in New England and wow, I sat smack dab in the middle behind the Tech station in CT. I couldn’t believe how much you guys put into a single show. Thank You for giving me my moneys worth. Thank You for putting an album together in such a short time but i know the magic will be in AB3. Please let yourselves go on this album to keep us busy while you tour Europe. An outside of the box approach is always welcomed. If this album free flows like your live shows (like SAY I live!) then it will out rock F.C. Thank you, and I can’t wait for AB3!

  40. Claire Says:

    I am so excited. Hopefully you will come to Louisiana on new tour.

  41. Tom NY Says:

    One of the best live DVDs i personally own and one of the best i have ever seen, Great work guys
    Looking forward to Myles solo album, new AB album and 2010 tour
    i had a chance to see you guys at starland ballroom some years back and i couldnt make it and after watching the DVD i am pissed
    Hope you play the NY/NJ area

  42. Sergio A. Says:

    Espectacular, lamentable que el dvd aun no este disponible para todo el mundo, pero estoy seguro que lo tendré, lo de ABIII es una gran noticia, así que el 2010 disfrutaremos de un nuevo álbum de la mejor banda del mundo, y por supuesto esperar que no sea el ultimo, mucha suerte para myles en su proyecto y sin duda estara atento a su álbum en solitario. Saludos desde chile

    ______________________________________________

    Spectacular, regrettable that the dvd yet unavailable to everyone, but I’m sure it will, as of ABIII is great news, so that 2010 will enjoy a new album by the best band in the world, and of course expect than the last, good luck for your project and myles certainly be attentive to his solo album.

    COME TO CHILE 2010

  43. Bob Says:

    This the best news I have heard all week! A new album and a tour….
    Still waiting for the DVD release in Europe

  44. Colin Campbell Says:

    I’m in Scotland and couldn’t wait any longer for the Amsterdam vid (the deluxe or Blu-ray specifically) so I took a gamble and ordered the US/Amazon exclusive one. I was pleasantly surprised. Not only did the sheer quality and epicness of the concert vid exceed my expectations, but the “Region 1″ DVD (as it is labelled on the box) is in fact Region 0/Free (didn’t matter as most of my players are multiregion). But workin on my PS3 (which is region locked - and I’m in the UK: Region 2/B for Blus) was the icing on the cake.

    So no matter what player you have or where you are in the world…unfurl your black wings and buy the feckin thing!

  45. William Says:

    This is good news! So glad to hear that you guys are going to be back soon. Not dissing Creed, cause you guys rock. But I think you all shine more in AB. It’s so uncool that AB hasn’t had the success in America like Creed has over the years. You guys should have it all! Great band , great music, your songs are played from the heart. Keep rocking and know alot of people love you guys!

  46. colin Says:

    so glad to hear that u guys will be back youre music has a soul that i have not encountered on my musical journey through the years .cant wait for ab111.i saw u guys here in australia ab are amazing live .blackbird is moving an awesome song wish i could get the dvd .hope to see the boys back in aus soon i think creed may come bt it is alter i wanna see.like the other person said not dissin creed hope it goes well just not to well haha

  47. Dave Witchlow Says:

    Hi Guys, glad to hear another albulm on its way, I will look forward to that. Is there any chance you will be playing Download 2010? It would be so cool! If not see you when you tour the U.K again.

  48. Sam Phen Says:

    The legends of rock take it to the next level!

    Rock on cant wait!

I’ve alvready got the fan base increased in my area since I’ve arrived. I’m your number one promoter tauting ” the greatest music in rock to ever be laid down by four people. ” Your music has changed my life!
