Not sure this is genuine, I think they just happen to be on the same flight, heading to England to promote their new RR releases.

I really want to know what this is about. As a huge Alter Bridge and Dream Theater fan, I'm seriously geeking out about this.
That would be really cool if they just met up and like, "Hey, let's do a side project together." "Okay."
This could be interesting...
They're just kidding I think ;) this is all pretty fun though, since Alter Bridge is my twin sister's fave band and DT is mine.
Not really feeling The Firewires as the name. They need something sweet like, The Brewery Cats or something ;)
But in all seriousness, I would definitely be interested in hearing what they could come up with.

Thrill Gang
Wolfgang Van Halen on bass lol.
Myles wins points for sweet, sweet style, the rest of the guys ain't got nothin' on him.
I don't know who those other guys are, but this looks so exciting!!!
Shouldn't they have been the USB's?
On a separate note, has anybody noticed that as DT is shifting to more progressive James is looking more Metal?
ooopps I got dup post with this topic
https://www.dreamtheaterforums.org/boards/index.php?topic=38552.0
how do I delete it. hehe
anyway
so what's RR coming up with??? just got goose bumps when I saw this pic. two of my favorite bands members together(and also Creed - don't kill me hehe).
Well that is interesting...
I'm sure they're just bullshitting, but that's pretty cool.

So painfully photoshopped it's gone from bad to hilarious. Also, this whole THING is hilarious, but definitely sounds false.

I really doubt this is true :lol
And Alter Bridge sucks btw ;)
Two singers and two guitarists. Yeah, this is definitely a real thing.
I don't think it's true either, but the fact that these are doing some sort of promo still excites me? Being that Tremonti and Petrucci are two of my favorite guitarists, and Kennedy and Labrie are two of my favorite vocalists posing for pictures, together, excites me?
Besides....this would be an awesome acoustic side project.
It's possible ;)
If they need a bass player, I'm ready. Call me maybe :P
I am going to suggest the following names for this new supergroup:
Tight Fit
Hot Pants

Tight Pants
Captain Adercrombie's Experimental Hat & Comb Band.
I think any of these are viable names.

I have been a long time AB fan, since they put out their first record. I have always found their music to a refreshing blend of styles, but I guess it just comes down to personal preference!
As far as all these pics of DT and AB together, I'd love to think its something more than just album PR, but that's probably all it is. AB and DT both happen to have album listening parties hosted by Road Runner in the same location, so I'm sure Road Runner wanted to take advantage of members of two of their more popular groups (especially in the UK and Europe) being in the same place at the same time, and just wanted some pictures for online hype.
Never the less, really cool seeing pics of all these guys together, as a big fan of both bands, Road Runner has successfully hyped me up for both album releases even more!!

I also have the first three Creed albums. My enjoyment of Alter Bridge primarily revolves around appreciation for how those guys managed to jump of that sinking ship and reinvent themselves, by committing to mastering their own instruments and becoming more cohesive as a band.
The guys getting back with Stapp bothers me. Stapp is completely toxic.

I basically agree with everything you just said. The guys, especially Mark, really concentrated at mastering their craft and letting their musicianship shine through with AB. And also they managed to snag Myles Kennedy, who I think is absolutely brilliant as a singer, guitarist, writer, etc... For those on this forum who aren't familiar with Myles' guitar abilities, he actually started off as a guitar player primarily and became a singer later on in his career. The dude can totally tear it up on guitar! :metal
He's a good guitarist and a good singer. I don't care for his voice or his present band, but it's more a matter of personal preference vs. them not being talented. But despite not liking Myles' voice, I admit that he's got some good range and power. And the stuff he did in Rock Star was very cool.
Myles is one of the best rock voices in recent memory.

This, without a doubt.
I am a big fan of both bands (have followed AB since Creed), but DT is still #1 :biggrin:
Though, Myles Kennedy is one of the best rock frontmen I have ever heard. His voice and guitar skills are pretty solid and Mark Tremonti has come a LONG way since Creed with his playing abilities and songwriting.

I hopefully saw him and Alter Bridge on a bad night then, because he was horrible when I saw him, it was like he didn't even give a shit about putting on a good show.
I've loved AB since the first album too, that was one of the greatest musical disoveries, terrific album. I really like Myles but after Tremonti's album, I prefer his voice to his own sound. Still looking forward to the new album though.

Nah. He's pretty good, but I definitely wouldn't go that far.
Myles Kennedy was great in the movie Rock Star. Just a great, emotional part where a man fulfills is wildest dreams of replacing the dumb singer of a shitty band mid-show.
I'm tearing up just thinking about it.

Could've been worse. He could have gave in to the rock and roll lifestyle and overdosed.
But the way they set up the story, if he stayed with her, and stayed in the band, it would've been a little too neat. It's like, "Well, now everything's good. He's living out his dream, and is clean off drugs and groupies, and still with his sweetheart. And they lived happily ever after."

I was actually going to end my post with "It would have been a happier ending if he OD'ed on coke backstage and died". :lol
But not groupies, not Jennifer Aniston.
By the way, am I wrong? Or were all the songs on it actually songs performed by other bands? I felt like I've heard "Steel Dragon" songs before, from other artists.

Well, I'm looking at the wikipedia on the movie and some of the songs (if not all) sang by Steel Dragon have been played by other artists. I want to know where Stand Up and Shout came from. It sounds like such a great tune and Myles busts out the "Stand up and Shout!!!!!!!" part so well, when anyone mentions to him about his part in Rock Star.
Edit: NVM, I found it. Sammy Hagar (or was it Steelheart?) probably created it for the movie.

It was a mix. Long Live Rock n' Roll was originally done by Rainbow in the '70s, and We All Die Young was a Steelheart song released a few years before the movie. And I think Reckless was an existing song too.
The rest were original as far as I remember, although Sammy Hagar later did his own version of Stand Up And Shout, as he'd written the song for the movie.
Myung'd by yourself.

:facepalm: How could I forget "Long Live Rock'n'Roll"!?
I figured it was a mix, but I knew I heard those songs somewhere. It's funny because whenever I have to play a Rock Star or anything of the sort in Scene Study class, I always come up with a compilation of songs by all sorts of artists as my "Discography".

I am actually quite aware that Hawkins did a side project called Hot Leg. They actually played support to AB during their 2008 Fall Europe Tour. Man, those UK AB fans were giving Hot Leg a lot of crap. I don't know how much was actually warranted. Though, I heard Hawkins was probably egging them on or something.

No, it was actually Jeff Scott Soto. If you search, there are a ton of versions of his band doing it on YouTube. For example: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ShVDALT8CgI
I can't remember now whether Wahlberg actually sang some parts in the movie, but if I'm remembering it correctly, I seem to recall that he actually did cut vocals that were added very low in the mix underneath the primary singer so as to have someone who could actually sing well (like Soto) doing the main part, but there would subliminally be a tinge of Wahlberg's voice in the harmony to make it sound more believable that he was doing it.
As for the part that Myles' character sang, those are Myles' actual vocals.
