Bio
Alter Bridge is an American rock band that was formed in 2004 in Orlando, Florida by then-former Creed members Mark Tremonti (guitar, vocals), Brian Marshall (bass), and Scott "Flip" Phillips (drums), with Myles Kennedy (lead vocals, guitar), formerly of The Mayfield Four and the current frontman for Slash's touring band.
The band is named after an actual bridge that used to be located in Detroit near Tremonti's home on Alter Road. The bridge led to a bad part of town, and the neighborhood children, who saw the other side of the bridge as the "unknown", were not allowed to cross it. Thus, according to Tremonti, the name of the band symbolizes going into the unknown and starting something new.
Alter Bridge has released three studio albums, one live album/DVD, and eight singles. Their debut album, One Day Remains, was released in August 2004, followed by their second album, Blackbird, in October 2007 and their third, AB III, in October 2010.
