Quote: (Originally Posted by Chase) Well, since Alter Bridge decided not to play a San Diego show... I had to make the trek from San Diego to Anaheim... through the pouring rain. The concert itself was good. Submersed was awesome... they rocked. Donald Carpenter (the lead singer) made it a point that their band name is SUBMERSED not SUBMERGED... he was a funny guy and reminded me of a cross between Aaron Lewis of Staind and Disturbed's lead singer. I've heard a lot of bad things about Crossfade from previous reviewers, so I expected them to suck. However, they weren't bad... and they put on a good show, I thought. They had a Sevendust/Nickelback vibe with the songs that they played. Alter Bridge was amazing... and the person that made it amazing was Mark Tremonti. The man can play guitar. They played the usual set list, plus "Highway Star." Eric Friedman was brought out to jam with them on "Highway Star" and Mark called him "the little brother he never had." E-rock is my age... and could hang with the big guns on stage. I think the best songs of the evening were: "Down to Last," "Broken Wings," "Open Your Eyes," "Find the Real," and "Highway Star." "In Loving Memory" was very touching and intimate. I know I'll get criticized for this... but I've seen Creed twice and I've come to the conclusion that Scott Stapp's voice flows much better with Mark Tremonti's style... and that became evident to me after seeing Alter Bridge live. I like Myles Kennedy and he seems like the nicest guy in the world, but his voice would sometimes get a little annoying when he would belt out the highest note he could. It was so awesome seeing the guys up close and seeing Brian Marshall up there having a blast. I wanted to try and hang out with some of the Submersed guys after the show, but it was pouring rain outside and I had a long drive home. Thanks to Alter Bridge, Crossfade and Submersed for a kick ass night!

Mark and scott had a lot more time together, you can't expect tremonti and Myles to flow right away, give it time.
