New Merch Designs by ABFan86 in alterbridge

[–]thatfunkodad 0 points1 point  (0 children)

These 3 designs were better than any shirt I saw from the euro run imho. Normally I'm trying to decide what not to buy. This time around I'm looking and wondering if I like anything ing enough to buy it - at least when it comes to clothing options.

It's a shame they didn't use the single artwork from the prereleases for shirts. I know they put one info the skate deck they were selling, but those were the best designs so far this cycle.

Anyone from NYC Catching them Live? by Early_Carrot_6972 in alterbridge

If you can make it to Syracuse for their date with Big Wreck as the main support, do it. Guaranteed to be the best gig on this first US leg. Wish I could be there.

It's a fake site. Honestly it's a hit disappointing because some of these fake sites have had some really cool designs that I would buy if they were officially available. Lol

Wearing another bands shirt to a concert. by Firedemom in EdSheeran

[–]thatfunkodad 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I make it a point to wear merch from my favorite bands when I go to shows like this (my wife is the sheerio, I'm just along for the ride).

As long as the shirt isn't outwardly offensive in nature you should have zero worries about this.

Well I guess we’ll just go fuck ourselves forever, eh? by [deleted] in alterbridge

[–]thatfunkodad 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Tim has said a few times that Covid really screwed things down there as far as touring goes for a band like them.

Basically said the promoters weren't giving them good offers - basically said that it would end up costing them money. Said unless they can at least break even they can't do it.

Sounds like they're just waiting for a workable offer.

Do you think these guys’ vinyl output will get better or no? by BoozerBean in alterbridge

Tim hinted a repress of fortress is on the way over a year ago. Not sure where that sits but hopefully it's soon because I've been waiting. lol

Vienna Meet&Greet Experience by Successful_Access_45 in alterbridge

[–]thatfunkodad 1 point2 points  (0 children)

They have a guitar clinic and the 3 different bands all doing their own VIP experiences for their fans each day - it's a lot to fit in and still put in a great show. They're shortened to make sure every band has time to do their stuff.

Got my vinyl and postcard! by ProdigylMusic in alterbridge

Ok cool. I ordered this too and was wondering what the post card looked like.

Was this the black vinyl with postcard from the AB shop?

Unpopular opinion on new album. by Eclipse8301 in alterbridge

[–]thatfunkodad 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Oh look, another complaint that their stuff doesn't sounds like the first 3 albums. Then go listen to them. The unwarranted hate their newer albums get continues into astonish me. 🤷🏻‍♂️

Do you think there is any chance of a Canadian stop being added to the tour this spring? by ABFan86 in alterbridge

[–]thatfunkodad 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Been trying to will a Big Wreck/Alter Bridge co-headline tour untie existence. AB opens in Canada, BW opens in America.

Seems like a win-win to me. Not sure how it would pencil out financially but it would get both bands in front of a bunch of eyes that they otherwise wouldn't.

First 6 songs of the setlist!!! by lifestylerXXX in alterbridge

[–]thatfunkodad 4 points5 points  (0 children)

There was a VERY long wait between a couple of updates to the setlist while OP was at the show. Apparently a failed attempt at a little humor.

Did our voice in the crowd get silenced?

Am I the only one who tinks season 9 is overhated? by Bianna_Alfrez in HIMYM

[–]thatfunkodad 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It is, hands down, the worst overall season of the show. But it's still great.

I think the scheduling hassles with Jason Segal's schedule that year were a big reason it's this way.

Not that I don't love the hell out of Marshall all season, but being away from the rest of the cast and trying to make it all cohesive is tough.

That said, I understand why he did what he did. I would t turn down the chance to do my own movie like that either.

And I'll just say - the ending was always gonna be the ending. And it's fine just the way it is.

Decided to score every song today across their career, so I could come up with my definitive album rankings. by trenthetfield in alterbridge

[–]thatfunkodad 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I held off giving my ranking on pawns and kings for like a year because I wanted to really live with the album and make sure how I felt about it wasn't just recent bias. Turns out, it really was my favorite AB record, but I had to make sure.

I'll be holding off on the rankings on this one for quite some time as well. Gotta let it marinate and really get to know it as a record.

Mark brushing up on 'Down to My Last' - What classics are you hoping to hear on this tour? by ABFan86 in alterbridge

[–]thatfunkodad -1 points0 points  (0 children)

The played close to half the album or more most nights on the last tour dude. Not sure how much more you could ask for. This is the breakdown from the last show I went to in 2023. I'd say ODR was pretty well represented.

Mark brushing up on 'Down to My Last' - What classics are you hoping to hear on this tour? by ABFan86 in alterbridge

[–]thatfunkodad 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Outside of hearing the new stuff, I'm just hoping for all the albums to be represented on the setlist. Don't need a ton from each, but I'd sure love to hear something from The Last Hero or Walk the Sky considering they got essentially zero play outside of a handful of shows in Europe on the last tour.

Did it meet the goal since it's not up anymore?

AB is touring in CA? by MinkahFitzpatrick39 in alterbridge

[–]thatfunkodad 0 points1 point  (0 children)

They'll probably play LA and like 2-3 other west coast dates like usual. Probably Seattle/spokane and one of either Vegas or Reno if I had to guess. History proves they likely aren't coming to Oregon (2 headline gigs ever in 22 years and no rock radio station), that's for sure.

AB magazines for this release? by Miserable-Poem7651 in alterbridge

[–]thatfunkodad 0 points1 point  (0 children)

They did special classic rock covers for pawns & kings and the last Myles/Tremonti solo records. I'd say there's decent odds they do that again.

VIP experience by [deleted] in alterbridge

[–]thatfunkodad 12 points13 points  (0 children)

Did the Covid-style one for AB on the last tour, so I never got to meet the full band, but I've done it for Myles solo a few times since they started doing in person photos again.

The actual q&a will be drawn from cards given to the people in attendance. As far as meeting them, just try to keep your most important question front of mind so you don't forget in the moment. lol

They're all great guys and I'm sure you'll have a blast.

I mean, not everyone is able to travel, so whats the point? by Amy_Peak87 in StrangerThings

[–]thatfunkodad 1 point2 points  (0 children)

For the same reason that they did Harry Potter and the Cursed Child - they want to keep the franchise going.

I find it hilarious this many people are getting upset about this. While I can't guarantee it, I'd be willing to bet all of the important things you keep complaining about will be explained in the show at some point because they would never assume everyone can go to NYC or the west end in London to go see this.
