*introducing Themselves At The Start Of An Interview*

The most frustrating experience as a writer is having a clear vision in your mind of the story you want to tell but being too afraid to put pen to paper for fear of failing to do the story justice. I’m so scared that my actual execution will fail to meet my expectations that I’m paralysed to even start.

you sleeping on top of myles as he talks to you in your sleep (myles pov)

the only sound in the room was her soft breathing as she slept. it was one of my favourite sounds in the world. 

I held my arms around her as she lay on top of me, in a deep and peaceful sleep. she looked so relaxed, and I couldn't help but admire her.

“you're so gorgeous when you sleep darling,” my voice was barely a whisper, not wanting to wake her, but I needed to say it. regardless of whether or not she could hear me, I was going to tell her.

I gently stroked her hair as she slept, feeling the soft strands between my fingers. she was always so beautiful, but especially when she slept. 

“I love you so much baby, so so much,” I continued to softly and quietly talk to her in her sleep, not expecting an answer, but still talking anyway. 

whenever she fell asleep on me, my eyes never left her. she was my everything, and I couldn't bring myself to look away, even for a second. her breathing filled the room, it being in slow and even breaths, and a small smile crept onto my face.

“you're so beautiful love, i love it when you sleep on top of me,” I continued playing with her hair as she slept, feeling her chest rising and falling against my body, her arms loosely around me. I continued to look down at her, falling more and more in love with her with every second I spent looking at her.

the way her arms felt around my body. the way she always had one leg up when she slept. the way she occasionally mumbled. the way her hair was always perfect and soft. the way her entire body was close to me, not leaving even an inch of space between us. everything about her made me go crazy for her.

“I love you so much darling, so so much. I know you won't hear this right now, but you mean everything to me,” as quiet as my words and voice were, I couldn't have been more honest and true with them. 

I felt her stirring slightly, wondering if she had started to wake up, but when she went still again after a few moments, I knew she was still asleep. I kept stroking her hair and tracing her skin, loving the way it felt under my fingers.

after a few more minutes, she stirred again, and I continued to look down at her as she slowly opened her eyes, looking up at me.

“you have a good sleep love?”

the last ever alter bridge show

concept idea!!!!

They had just arrived in Orlando for their last-ever show before their departure as a band. This was the day of the One Day Remains show, and they had something huge planned. Some of these songs they had never played and some had only been played a handful of times. After tonight, the world would never watch Alter Bridge play together ever again.

Myles had been sitting in the tour bus all day, reading over lyrics and playing his solos, making sure every note and word was perfect, afraid of mucking up. Mark was inside the venue, speaking to the lovely workers, and then going into the dressing rooms to practice his guitar parts. Scott and Brian had been in a room together for the day, talking, and rehearsing. Everyone was set on making tonight perfect.

All the band’s family had come to watch, as well as fans flying from all across the world, putting an extra layer of pressure on the band, meaning more people to impress. Nearly fifty thousand people were planning to attend tonight, making it one of their biggest shows in their career.

They had an epic show planned, going through songs from all of their albums, including bonus tracks, and a couple of unreleased tracks, surprise guest artists, and playing songs from their other entities and solo projects.

“Good evening Orlando! How are we feeling tonight!” Myles yelled out to the crowd after playing the opening song, Addicted to Pain. The crowd cheered back in response, however, Myles wasn’t feeling it.

“I said how are we feeling tonight!” He yelled again, and the crowd cheered even louder in response. Myles was more satisfied with the answer and turned to Scott with a grin on his face. Scott saw Myles’ expression and started playing the opening drums to Sin After Sin. Mark joined in and the band broke out into song, and then went into White Knuckles.

Three songs in, and the band was already feeling the adrenaline that came with live performances, sad they were no longer going to experience it after tonight, but glad of their decision.

“Do you have any requests that you’d like to hear played tonight?” Mark asked one fan in the front row of the crowd, and the fan stood in shock for a second, in disbelief they were talking to the monster that was Mark Tremonti.

“Yes, I’d really like to hear Clear Horizon,” they requested, and so the band went into it. Myles’ vocals were blissful and deep, as well as soaring and high, and the instruments went along perfectly. When they finished the song, the crowd broke into applause, giving the band a nearly five-minute standing ovation, causing Myles to stare in absolute shock, and making Brian ever so slightly teary-eyed.

“Now we have a little treat for y’all tonight. We thought it would be a good idea if we decided to play some of our B-sides, so if you guys know this one, feel free to sing along. This is called Never Born To Follow.” Myles said into the microphone when the crowd died down, before the band broke into the AB III bonus track, one of the few times the song had ever been played live. Myles had sung his high note at the end perfectly and made it seem effortless, making the audience scream and cheer.

The band proceeded to play some of their usual songs, such as Cry of Achilles, The Writing on The Wall, Ties That Bind, Find The Real, Silver Tongue, Wouldn’t You Rather and Before Tomorrow Comes before Mark stepped forward to his microphone, looking around at the ginormous crows before speaking, letting Myles step off for a minute for a short break, to rest his voice.

“Thank you guys so much for coming tonight, this really means a lot to us, so as a thank you, we’re gonna play one or two songs from other bands we’ve been a part of over the years, so make some noise for Mr Scott Stapp!” he yelled, as the crowd started screaming, watching the Creed singer make his way on stage. The band played two songs together, Higher and One Last Breath before Scott left the stage, and Myles came back on.

The band played a few more songs, The Other Side, Slip To The Void, Holiday, Ghost Of Days Gone By, and Show Me A Leader, before another short break, this time, the entire band walking off stage.

When the lights came back on, Myles was the only one on stage, sitting in the centre of the stage, acoustic guitar in hand.

“Welcome to the more mellowed down acoustic part of the set, I’m gonna play a couple slower songs, and then we’ll get back to the heavy rock 'n roll,” Myles explained before playing the opening notes to Wonderful Life. The crowd listened as they were blissfully serenaded by Myles’ beautiful voice, and watched the song seamlessly transition into Watch Over You. When he finished, the crowd broke into applause, screaming at the top of their lungs after the slowed-down songs.

“Thank you so much. These next couple songs are throwing it right back to the Mayfield days, one of these songs I’ve never actually played live before, so this is gonna be interesting,” he said, swapping guitars, and playing the opening chords to Don’t Walk Away. When he finished, he started playing some chords to another song that was later recognised as Reigns Over Me, one of the unreleased tracks from the second Mayfield Four record. The crowd applauded when Myles had a very short break, as he was passed another guitar.

“This song is from one of the solo records, this is Year of the Tiger,” he introduced the song before playing it. The crowd cheered and applauded, and then cheered some more when Mark walked back on stage, holding an acoustic guitar, and sitting down next to Myles, who had replaced his guitar with an in-hand microphone, rather than the mic being attached to the stand.

The crowd went wild when Mark started playing the intro to In Loving Memory, with members of the audience holding up their flashlights, and then more and more people repeating as the song progressed.

After the acoustic set, the whole band was back on stage, now playing Blackbird, arguably one of the most iconic songs in their entire discography. The crowd went wild to the long epic song and gave the band another standing ovation when the song ended. The band then went into Metalingus, as well as New Way To Live and Breathe, two more of their bonus tracks. They then played Crows on a Wire and Indoctrination.

They then took a short break, and Mark came back out, this time to the centre of the stage.

“We’re gonna play you guys a couple of Tremonti songs tonight, so please sing along if you know the words, this is Dust,” Mark said into the mic before starting the song. The rest of the band joined in, and soon after Mark started singing. They played two more Tremonti songs after, The Things I’ve Seen, and Leave It Alone. The crowd cheered and applauded, Mark throwing one of his picks to a fan down on the ground.

The band played a few more songs, like My Champion, Brand New Start, The End Is Here, Fortress, Down To My Last, Fallout, Dying Light, and finished with Words Darker Than Their Wings before another five-minute break, with all of them leaving the stage.

Before the band came back on stage, Myles said through his microphone; “We’ve got another special guest for you tonight Orlando, so show some love for the one and only Slash!” he yelled, the lights coming back on, the crowd seeing the band standing on stage with the legendary top hat wearing guitarist. The crowd cheered for what felt like forever before Slash started playing the opening notes to Back From Cali, with Myles happily singing along, his voice still sounding as good as it did at the start of the show. When the song was playing, Slash and the band broke into Rise Today, which caused another loud scream from the audience.

At the end of the song, the lights went out and the fans thought the show was over, however, the lights came back on about a minute later, with the band all standing on stage, about to play another song.

“We’ve got one more song for y’all tonight, this is called Never Say Die,” Myles said before the band broke into the bonus track. Myles had put extra emphasis on the lyric ‘One last thing before we say goodbye’, causing many of the fans to shed some tears. At the end of the song, the band all stood together in the middle of the stage, an endless number of thank you’s leaving their mouths. 

They then proceeded to walk off the stage, making this the last ever show Alter Bridge would ever play, and they sure made it one for the history books, giving their fans one last thing before saying goodbye.
