3 Years Was Worth The Wait!!!
by GreedoShot2nd on 1/3/11Showbox at the Market - SeattleI have been a Alter Bridge fan since the very start. Also a Creed fan. As great as Scott Stapp is with Mark, Brian, and Scott the band is on a whole different level when Myles is involved. This is the second time I saw the band, the second time I got to hang out with the band after the show, and the second time I drove up from Portland Oregon to see the band. Every time I see them the band just keeps getting better. I have been a lover of Rock n Roll now for over 25 years and love a lot of different bands over that time but without a shadow of doubt ALTER BRIDGE IS MY FAVORITE BAND!!! They guys give a 110% in the studio and 150% on stage. I truly hope that they are able to come through Portland one day and would be even better if it was later this year. I did not know who the two opening acts were, the first band was alright, and the second band was pretty awesome. But to be honest I would love to see ALTER BRIDGE play for like three hours. Would be so awesome if they did like a 30-40 minutes acoustic show in the middle of their set list. Since they have at least two songs per album that is or almost is in an acoustic setting. Regardless though in that it takes 6 or 7 hours in travel time getting to and from Portland and Seattle, much less how much gas costs. I will always find a way to see them again. It is worth every second and worth every penny to see a band that goes above and beyond every night they are on and off stage, is so down to earth, and appreciates us and much as we appreciate them. This is the first time that I have ever reviewed something much less someone so hope this was helpful. If you already know ALTER BRIDGE then you more then likely feel the same way I do and if you do not know who they are then you need to give them a shot because they will never disappoint. Ever. Period.
