10 Best Alter Bridge Tracks

You know when you come across a band who just have wall-to-wall phenomenal material, every fan's going to have their own favourite choruses, vocal moments, guitar solos and more - but it's always fun to delve in and pick some favourites; a definitive top 10 you could recommend to everyone. For Alter Bridge it's been one hell of a ride getting to the top, with heavy metal-loving lead guitarist Mark Tremonti slowly injecting more crushing rhythms into the band's work as vocalist Myles Kennedy's becomes more accustomed to playing in front of huge stadium-sized audiences fronting Slash's newest outfit, birthing a combination whose confidence shows more and more in everything they do. Backed by one of the tightest rhythm sections in the business in drummer Scott 'Flip' Philips and Brian Marshall on bass, 2013's Fortress is their most accomplished and experimental work so far; its progressive composition of opener Cry of Achilles contrasting hugely with the staccato vocals of something like Cry A River, before the dark and sinister lyrics of Lover round everything off nicely. 2015 marks the year where they're journeying past their first decade milestone, and when you think of how they've had to deal with record labels and PR companies head-on to be recognised for the right songs instead of being pigeonholed into 'just another' radio rock band - it's high-time to celebrate everything that driving ethos has achieved in the process.
