18 Things Only Alter Bridge Fans Will Understand

15. Scott 'Flip' Phillips Continues Is One Of The Most Underrated Drummers In Rock

Flip's style is one that fits his personality i.e. that of just relaxing and letting the beats come to you.

Not one for over-staying his welcome or overthinking drum-structures or syncopation when it comes to composition or time structures, instead he's been cited in many interviews over the years as not labouring on practicing too much before a gig, instead just going with more of a 'feel' for the night in question.

It works an absolute treat though, and as the years have gone by and the band's musicianship has stepped up, so to have Flip's abilities. The first taste of which was on last year's first single from Fortress; Addicted to Pain, where his snare came in like a machine gun, only for us to then hear the full album and realise he was doing triplet foot-rolls in time with Tremonti's hammer-on riff from The Uninvited (to name but one amazing track), easily putting him above almost every other drummer currently working in mainstream American rock radio this side of Black Stone Cherry's John Fred or Halestorm's Arejay Hale.

14. We're Bursting To Hear Myles' Solo Album

Myles may be one of the hardest working men in the business (over the last few years he's gone straight from one tour to another as he switched from Alter Bridge to Slash and then back again (recording albums in between), and underneath all of that he has his own solo album in the works that was hinted at years ago, yet we haven't heard a single second of it.

Kennedy has stated that it's actually already finished, and the only reason he was holding off was to not put his voice out there on too many things at once, yet now that we're in a gap between the last Alter album and the next Slash one, perhaps we could have a sample?

Although this probably won't be the case, at some point in the future it would be great for Myles to 'do a Slash' and create an album with a different guest on each song, however in his case instead of having different singers with a mainstay guitarist, his vocals would be the constant with a revolving door of six-stringers laying down phenomenal compositions on each track.
