New Alter Bridge Album: 8 Incredible Things To Look Forward To

2. They're Essentially A Supergroup

It must be strange to newcomers getting into the band off the back of any of the side-projects that directed them in. "You're telling me Slash's vocalist, that Tremonti guy with those awesome albums and two ex-members of Creed were in a band first?!" Yes, yes we are - because it's pretty remarkable how this all seems to be playing out. Which other band can you think of that started as one, branched off into a few different avenues purely to record more material and experiment with the opportunities in front of them - only to end up boosting their portfolio in the public mindset in the process? Now, when the original members of AB get back together it feels even more epic than before, as although it's sad to not get an endless string of albums from their 'main' band, it only serves to mark each occasion even more.
