Alter Bridge Announce Expanded Album

Alter Bridge have announced that a new version of their third studio album, "III", is released on 17 October as "III.5".

The special edition will include three additional songs - "Zero", "Home", and "Never Born To Follow" - making a total of 17 tracks on the album, as well as an extraordinary hour-long DVD documentary called "One By One".

"One By One" is a documentary by award-winning filmmaker and "Live From Amsterdam" director Daniel E Catullo III, intended to be an intimate behind-the-scenes look into the rise of Alter Bridge.

The DVD features brand new interviews and concert footage shot all over the world, plus special interviews with Slash, Alter Bridge's management team, and dozens of fans from every corner of the globe.

Thanks for the report to PlanetRock.com.

Wasn't "Zero" and "Home" already originally on the US release?

Don't matter, still will pick it up for the other new song plus the documentary seems worthwhile.

Yea, Zero and Home were already on my CD. I'm curious about the "Never Born to Follow".

I wish they weren't taking a break in 2012 to focus on side projects. Alter Bridge is really one of the best modern rock bands out there today.

That's on my birthday, what a coincidence.

I love these guys and I own all their releases thus far, but I don't think there's any way to disrespect fans more than saying, "Hey, we've got an updated version of an album you all bought on day one, a year ago."

Ironically, I happen to have Palladia on and Slash is playing with Miles Kennedy. Miles Kennedy is a total joke. This passes for singing? Sounds like someone trying to be a joker at karaoke. Stage presence is all personal preference... but to me this guy has the frontman skills of a dead cat.


III.5??? And some of you suckers are buying it? Oh man homie, my mind playn' trix on me.

I'll probably pick this up for the DVD. "Zero" and "Home" were included with most CD's, as far as I know. "Never Born To Follow" is a really nice track, and Myles hits some really nice high notes near the end. I'm a bit shocked that those three songs didn't make the album "proper", because they're really damn good.

I found it amusing a guy who is the III in his family is directing a documentary on AB III
All three of these songs are bonus tracks on the american and japanese editions, just compiled together on one CD. Doesn't really seem like a fair deal.

[salazar]

I agree. even on itunes zero and home are there. kind of a bummer. similar to when slash released his solo album a second time. "if you want the bonus cd, then just buy my album again."

[rockstaralex24]

I actually have all three songs, and never born to follow is pretty good... i have to say they have a different feel to the rest of the album. DVD sounds pretty good tho

[Jhenri]

To be honest I believe this version is/was only meant to come out in europe and uk. Their version didn't have any bonus tracks.

It'd be nice if they let us buy the dvd separate from the updated album, if we already have the 'unreleased' songs.
