Alter Bridge: 10 Hidden Song Details You Never Noticed

4. Last Of Our Kind Has The Wrong Title

With The Last Hero, the story was supposed to finish with the titular song, closing out both the narrative that was started with Show Me A Leader and This Side of Fate, and the album itself. However, there was another song that made its way onto the album as the 14th track.

This somewhat ruined a lot of why the album was laid out the way it was, with the track instead supposed to just be a B-side to one of the album's singles.

This may not have been so bad if the mistake hadn't gone even further, and it had at least been given the right name. If you're wondering why Last Of Our Kind is titled the way it is, you're not alone. What the song was supposed to be called, and what would have made more sense, was The Symphony of Agony.

Last Of Our Kind was the song before lyrical rewrites changed it entirely. So not only was it on an album it shouldn't have been, it wasn't even given the correct title.
