Alter Bridge is an American rock band from Orlando, Florida. Formed in 2004, the group includes lead vocalist and guitarist Myles Kennedy, guitarist and backing vocalist Mark Tremonti, bassist Brian Marshall, and drummer Scott Phillips. After their former band Creed became inactive in 2003, Tremonti and Phillips formed a new group with former bandmate Marshall and new vocalist Kennedy, most recently of The Mayfield Four. The group was formally unveiled in January 2004, shortly before Creed's breakup was officially announced in June.
After signing with Wind-up Records, Alter Bridge released its debut album One Day Remains in August 2004, much of which was written by Tremonti the previous year. Despite mixed reviews, the album reached No. 5 on the U.S. Billboard 200 and was certified gold by the Recording Industry Association of America. This was followed in October 2007 by the more positively reviewed Blackbird on Universal Republic Records, which marked the beginning of a long partnership between the band and producer Michael "Elvis" Baskette. The album reached No. 13 in the U.S. and was certified silver by the British Phonographic Industry. Creed reunited in 2009, while Kennedy fronted the solo touring band of guitarist Slash starting in 2010.
Following continued activities with the members' other bands, Alter Bridge released AB III in October 2010, which achieved critical acclaim and commercial success, on Roadrunner Records, with the album's lead single "Isolation" topping the Billboard Mainstream Rock chart. Alter Bridge released Fortress to further acclaim in September 2013, as the band's members continued splitting their time between various projects. The Last Hero followed on Napalm Records in October 2016, becoming the band's first album since its debut to reach the top ten of the Billboard 200, and its first to reach the top five of the UK Albums Chart.

History[edit]
2004–05: One Day Remains[edit]
Alter Bridge lead guitarist and founder Mark Tremonti, bassist Brian Marshall, and drummer Scott Phillips were members of Creed with lead vocalist Scott Stapp since 1993. After releasing two successful albums, Marshall left the band in 2000, followed by the release of their third album in 2001. The band became inactive in 2003 following the conclusion of a controversial tour. That year, Tremonti began writing new material with plans of forming a new band with Phillips and Marshall. Being fans of Myles Kennedy's former band, The Mayfield Four, they invited him to join as their new lead vocalist.[1] They named the new band Alter Bridge, after an actual bridge near Tremonti's home on Alter Road in Detroit, and subsequently began recording their debut album.[2]
Citing creative differences and increasing tension between Stapp and the other band members, Creed announced its breakup in June 2004.[3] Coinciding with this announcement was the one of Alter Bridge's formation and of their debut album, as well as the album's lead single, "Open Your Eyes." The band members felt as if Creed had "run their course" and were determined to focus on their future with their new singer.[1] Alter Bridge's debut album, One Day Remains, was released on August 10, 2004 by Wind-up Records and received mixed reviews.[4][5] Produced by Ben Grosse (who has also produced albums by artists such as Filter, Fuel, and Sevendust),[2] the album sold 750,000 copies worldwide and achieved only gold status,[6] a far cry from the multi-platinum success that Creed had previously achieved. It peaked at No. 5 on the Billboard charts for fourteen weeks.[7] After "Open Your Eyes," two more singles were released from the album: "Find the Real" and "Broken Wings." Also, partially due to the fact that the album was almost finished by the time Kennedy joined the band, it is the only Alter Bridge record that does not feature Kennedy as a guitarist, although he did play guitar on several songs on the album's accompanying tour. The music was composed completely by Tremonti, who had also written most of the lyrics by himself, though Kennedy wrote or at least co-wrote the lyrics for about half of the remaining songs.[8]
Several songs from One Day Remains established an affiliation with WWE. Most notably, "Metalingus" was adopted by wrestler Edge as his entrance theme in 2004, and it was used as such until his retirement in 2011. Alter Bridge would later appear with Edge in a backstage segment on an episode of WWE Raw in 2005.[9] An edited version of the song, "Open Your Eyes," is featured in the videogame Madden NFL 2005. Also in 2005, Alter Bridge released a rare instrumental song called "Ahavo Rabo Taco Salad" for Total Guitar magazine. It was solely a Mark Tremonti song originally, but the rest of Alter Bridge soon got involved.[10] A song called "Save Me" was included on the soundtrack for the 2005 Marvel film Elektra.[11] The soundtrack for another 2005 Marvel film, Fantastic Four, also featured an Alter Bridge song, "Shed My Skin."[12] That same year, the band released a four-song EP called Fan EP as a promotional CD in Europe.
Before the final leg of the One Day Remains tour in 2006, Alter Bridge's relationship with Wind-up Records, who did not share the band's vision, began to deteriorate. The band had been asking to be released from the label since the release of One Day Remains, but their request was consistently declined until April 2006 when all recording, publishing, and merchandising agreements were finally terminated.[13] However, Alter Bridge continued to face difficulties, including criticism for disbanding Creed, pressure to reform Creed, and numerous false reports of a Creed reunion, in addition to some critics describing Alter Bridge's music as sounding like "Creed with a different singer." Despite Creed later reforming in early 2009,[14] Tremonti responded to these claims by stating that "Creed will never exist as a band again."[13]
2007–08: Blackbird[edit]
Alter Bridge toured extensively in promotion of 2007's Blackbird.
In 2007, Alter Bridge announced that they had signed a record deal with Universal Republic Records. Tremonti said of the band's new material, "I think it's the best work we've ever done."[15] Alter Bridge's second album, Blackbird, featuring the successful singles "Rise Today" and "Watch Over You," was released on October 9, 2007.[16] "Watch Over You" was featured in VH1's Celebrity Rehab with Dr. Drew in 2008 and its music video featured clips from the series.[17] Another version of the song featuring Cristina Scabbia of Lacuna Coil is available in the United Kingdom.[18] Blackbird received very positive reviews from critics, and currently holds an average of 9.4 out of 10 on Ultimate Guitar Archive, as well as one fan having the Blackbird album cover tattooed on his back.[19] The album also featured the critically acclaimed title track, the guitar solo of which would later be lauded by Guitarist by reaching No. 1 on their 2011 list of the greatest guitar solos of all time.[20]
The band embarked on a successful world tour in support of Blackbird, recording their December 7, 2008 show at the Heineken Music Hall in Amsterdam, Netherlands for a live DVD titled Live from Amsterdam.[21] A single disc version was sold exclusively at venues during the Creed reunion tour in 2009 and on Amazon.com.[22] Released to extremely positive reviews, the DVD sold "thousands and thousands" of copies as opposed to the projected "hundreds" that Amazon expected to sell, reached No. 1 on Amazon's "Bestsellers in Music Videos & Concerts," and remained there for several weeks.[21][23] A Blu-ray Disc version and a deluxe edition to be sold in stores, however, became the source of controversy as they were delayed by Universal Republic several times, causing frustration amongst Alter Bridge fans and band members, but the band remained optimistic about its release. It was finally released in stores in North America on January 11, 2011 after two years of delays.[24]
Alter Bridge took a break in 2009 following the announcement of Creed's reunion tour and new album. While Tremonti, Marshall, and Phillips were touring with Scott Stapp as Creed, Kennedy worked on his first solo album and began working extensively with Guns N' Roses and Velvet Revolver lead guitarist Slash, and later touring with Slash throughout 2010 and 2011 as his lead vocalist.[25]
2010–12: AB III[edit]
Alter Bridge began the recording process of their third album from February through May 2010.[26][27] On July 17, 2010, Billboard reported that Alter Bridge had signed with Roadrunner Records and that the band would embark on a spring tour with Godsmack in 2011.[28] While the latter report was later denied by the band, Alter Bridge announced the title of their new album, AB III, along with the track listing on their official website in early August,[29] and the rumors that the band had signed with Roadrunner were confirmed in a press release by the label. The press release also included an announcement that AB III would be released on October 8, 2010.[30] On September 6, 2010, Roadrunner Records debuted the first single, "Isolation," on their website, where it was announced that the single would be made available in the United Kingdom on September 26, 2010.[31] The song became the band's most successful song, reaching No. 1 on active rock radio and on the Hot Mainstream Rock Tracks chart, a first for Alter Bridge.[32] AB III was released in Australia and Germany on October 8, 2010 and in the United Kingdom on October 11, 2010 by Roadrunner Records. It was then released on November 9, 2010 in North America on the band's own vanity label, Alter Bridge Recordings, via EMI.[33] The album debuted at No. 17 on the Billboard 200.[32] The music video for "Isolation" premiered on Noisecreep on December 6, 2010.[34] On January 11, 2011, the band finally released its long-awaited live album and concert film, Live from Amsterdam, in stores.[24] Also, "I Know It Hurts" was later released as the second single, in Australia only, on January 21, 2011.[35] "Ghost of Days Gone By" was released as the next single on April 18, 2011,[36] followed by "Wonderful Life" on June 5, 2011 in the United Kingdom.[37]
The band advertised that AB III would be much "darker" than and a lyrical departure from their previous albums, and the album was confirmed to be constructed as a loose concept album.[38] AB III was met with "overwhelming critical acclaim" from professional reviewers upon its release,[39] with MusicRadar calling it "one of the guitar albums of the year."[40] Artistdirect gave AB III a perfect score and called it a "masterpiece."[41] Also, a tribute album to Alter Bridge titled String Tribute to Alter Bridge, which features instrumental classical arrangements of various Alter Bridge songs, was made available on March 8, 2011.[42] On October 25, 2011, Alter Bridge released a special edition of AB III titled AB III.5, which includes three bonus tracks and an hour-long documentary titled One by One.[43]
The band started touring in support of AB III in the fall of 2010 in the United Kingdom with Slaves to Gravity appearing, followed by a tour of the United States with Taddy Porter and Like a Storm.[44] In the spring of 2011, Alter Bridge toured the United States again, this time with Black Stone Cherry and Like a Storm.[45][46][47] Alter Bridge performed at several European festivals in the summer of 2011, including the Rock am Ring and Rock im Park festivals,[48][49] the Nova Rock Festival,[50][51] the 2011 Download Festival,[52] the 2011 Hellfest Summer Open Air,[53] and several others. Alter Bridge performed a free concert on Jimmy Kimmel Live! on the ABC television network on April 25, 2011.[54] The band also co-headlined the second annual Carnival of Madness Tour in summer 2011 with Theory of a Deadman, with supporting acts Black Stone Cherry, Adelitas Way, and Emphatic.[55] The tour was extended until January 2012, when the band played select dates in Australia, including the Soundwave Festival.[56] The band released a series of webisodes produced by DC3 Music Group detailing their tour.[57] In addition, a second concert film titled Live at Wembley was recorded on November 29, 2011, at Wembley Arena, the band's largest headline show up to that point.[58] It was released worldwide on March 26, 2012,[59] and it will later be released in 3D.[60]
2013–14: Fortress[edit]
In 2012, the instrumental members of Alter Bridge turned their attention to their other band, Creed,[61] embarking on a tour. Tremonti emphasized that he is always writing music for both Creed and Alter Bridge.[62] Myles Kennedy turned his attention to his project with Slash, releasing Apocalyptic Love (2012), while Mark Tremonti released a solo album All I Was (2012). Phillips joined a new band called Projected with Sevendust members John Connolly and Vinnie Hornsby, and former Submersed guitarist Eric Friedman, releasing an album called Human.[63]
The band returned with Fortress in 2013, which was followed by a European tour and festival dates.
Members of Alter Bridge met in December 2012 to discuss the next album and the future tour of the band. They entered the studio in January 2013 to begin recording the new album, while touring intermittently with their respective side projects.[64] Recording continued in late April 2013 and lasted till July 2013 with their producer Michael "Elvis" Baskette.[65][66] The album was confirmed to be called Fortress. On July 31, 2013, Alter Bridge revealed album cover and track listing for Fortress,[67] and the first single, "Addicted to Pain", was officially released on August 12, 2013.[68][69][70] Mark Tremonti said that the band tried to "challenge ourselves to get the most out of the arrangements" and that the album is a "high energy record".[71] The band streamed the album in its entirety on the Metal Hammer website as a UK exclusive on September 23.[72] Fortress was released everywhere by September 30, 2013 except in the US, where it was released on October 8. The album received critical acclaim, with Allmusic saying "Fortress is a driving album that not only doesn't feel tired or stale, but is a monster of an album that makes a pretty solid case for being some of Alter Bridge's strongest and most dynamic work to date."[73] Their second and third singles "Cry of Achilles" and "Waters Rising" performed relatively well at the charts, achieving 27 and 15 place at US Hot Mainstream Rock Tracks.
A headline tour of the UK and Europe in support of Fortress with Halestorm and Shinedown commenced on October 16 in Nottingham.[74] Two weeks prior to this the band played a single show in the US, at the House of Blues in Orlando. Alter Bridge played at the Australian music festival, Soundwave in 2014 as an Australian leg of the tour, and also headlined several concerts in fall 2014, including Louder Than Life Festival in Louisville, and continued through the end of the month. They selected California Breed to open dates for them on their October run.[75]
In January 2014, Alter Bridge had planned to release a box set titled Alter Bridge X to commemorate the band's 10th anniversary. The 27-disc collection included all four albums, both concert films, exclusive uncut interviews, every music video, previously unreleased songs and live footage, an autographed poster, and a coffee table book about the history of the band. Only 3,000 copies were made; however, the project experienced significant delays and was not released until September 2014.[76][77]
In March 2014, it was announced that a Live in Milan CD and DVD package would be released, similar to that of Live in Amsterdam and Live at Wembley before it, documenting a live show from their recent Fortress Tour. It was set for release in June 2014,[78] although the date has come and gone without the release or an official statement. However, Tremonti's brother Michael, who is Alter Bridge's fan liaison,[79] stated on Twitter that the DVD was scrapped due to sound issues.[80]
2016–17: The Last Hero[edit]
Alter Bridge released its fifth album The Last Hero in October 2016.
In January 2015, the band announced that they would not tour that year, but that they would release a new album in 2016.[81] In January 2016, after members of the band had finished working on other projects throughout 2015, Alter Bridge officially began recording their fifth studio album. The record would again be produced by Michael "Elvis" Baskette. The band started selling memorabilia items and goods such as lyrics sheets, used guitar straps, postcards, drumsticks and guitars used for recording the album through Fret 12, a company associated with Tremonti.[82] The band joined Disturbed and Breaking Benjamin on a U.S. tour in the summer of 2016.[83] Tremonti said in May that the band was aiming for a September 2016 release for the new album. Regarding the sound of the album, Tremonti said, "I think it's a good mixture between Fortress and Blackbird; it covers all bases."[84] In June 2016, Alter Bridge signed with Napalm Records for the international release of the album,[85] and later announced it would headline a 2016 United Kingdom tour with Volbeat, Gojira, and Like a Storm.[86] On July 6, 2016, the band had announced that the new album's title is The Last Hero; it was released on October 7, 2016.[87] They embarked on a US and Canada Tour in January and February 2017. After that the band toured Australia and New Zealand in early April and returned for three shows in May. In June they embarked on a European Tour, headlining Rock am Ring and Rock im Park, Download Festival and Hellfest. The band played in Argentina for the first time in September.[88]
Alter Bridge released their third live album, Live at the O2 Arena + Rarities, on September 8, 2017, which includes a compilation of bonus tracks from previous albums, including two previously unreleased songs that were recorded in 2004.[89] The band played two shows at the Royal Albert Hall on October 2–3, 2017, alongside the 52-piece Parallax Orchestra as part of another European Tour, with the shows recorded.[90][91] They will play in the US again throughout November and December with support from All That Remains as part of the final instalment of the tour supporting The Last Hero.[92]
Musical style[edit]
Alter Bridge's music is often characterized and described as "heavy, yet melodic."[93] Their music has been listed under several genres including hard rock, heavy metal, alternative metal, progressive metal and post-grunge.[94][95][96]
Alter Bridge's music is co-written by Kennedy and Tremonti and arranged by Alter Bridge; the band's lyrics are written primarily by Kennedy, although Tremonti wrote most of the lyrics and all of the music on One Day Remains. The lyrics on the first two Alter Bridge albums mainly touch on hope and overcoming regret, sadness, grief, loneliness, pain, and addiction.[19][38][97] The subject matter on their third release, AB III, is noticeably darker, with lyrical themes mostly based on struggling with faith and a loss of innocence.[98][99]
Often recognized for their live performances, the band generally does not perform in larger venues such as arenas and amphitheaters outside of the UK. Instead, they regularly play smaller venues such as House of Blues, as was their intention from the start.[1] Myles Kennedy said in an interview with Artistdirect, "We're definitely a live band. That's what it's all about for us. We make records so we can go out and play for people."[100] The band has been joined on stage by several surprise guests, including Slash,[101] Paul Reed Smith,[102] Wolfgang Van Halen,[103] and Eric Friedman, and several other notable musicians, such as Eddie Van Halen,[104] Jimmy Page, and John Paul Jones,[105] have been reported to have attended an Alter Bridge concert. Alter Bridge's live performances are generally praised.[106][107][108][109][110]
Activism[edit]
In early 2010, Alter Bridge joined the Wheelchair Foundation, DC3 Music Group, and other artists including Scott Stapp (retired as vocalist of Creed), Godsmack, David Archuleta, and New Kids on the Block to assist in the "Plane to Haiti" project, a relief effort to help the victims of the 2010 Haiti earthquake.[111] The band also joined the fight against cancer in 2011 by helping the "Play for Life" organization raise funds for City of Hope Medical Center, a leading research center for cancer.[112]
Awards and accolades[edit]
In October 2010, the band's song "Ties That Bind" from Blackbird was listed by Total Guitar as the 41st greatest guitar song of the decade,[113] with Ultimate Guitar Archive naming AB III the seventh best album of 2010 that December.[114] In March of the next year, the dual guitar solo in the critically acclaimed song "Blackbird" was named the greatest guitar solo of all time by Guitarist, ahead of tracks by artists such as Led Zeppelin, Guns N' Roses, Van Halen, Pink Floyd, and others.[20] Myles Kennedy responded by saying that he was "a little uncomfortable with the idea that it was voted the 'best,'" but he and Mark Tremonti both stated that they were honored.[115] Later, in May 2011, the band defeated Avenged Sevenfold, Linkin Park, Three Days Grace, and other artists in Fuse TV's "Battle of the Fans" poll. The tournament peaked at 7.2 million votes.[116]
Alter Bridge's first album, One Day Remains, received polarized reviews upon its initial release, with many criticizing its sound as being too similar to that of Tremonti, Marshall, and Phillips' former band, Creed. Despite this, it was certified gold by the RIAA in November 2004 and remains the band's only RIAA-certified album.[117] Since then, the band's subsequent albums have received general acclaim. The band's 2009 live album and concert film, Live from Amsterdam was also well received; it was originally released via Amazon.com, where on October 22, 2009, it rose 15,000 spots on Amazon's "Bestsellers in Music Videos & Concerts" chart in just eight hours, rising ahead of artists such as Michael Jackson and Bon Jovi to No. 1 where it remained for several weeks. This was done with no official promotion or record label support.[21]
