Frontman Myles Kennedy has already named his favorite tune from Alter Bridge‘s upcoming album, Pawns & Kings. The new collection, which drops on October 14th, is the band’s seventh studio set and the followup to 2019’s Walk The Sky.
During a chat with Ultimate-Guitar.com, Myles Kennedy was pushed to name his personal standout track from the Pawns & Kings and said, “Probably a song called ‘Fable Of The Silent Son’, which is kind of a long song, I think it’s just over eight minutes long. It’s a journey. I’m excited to hear how people feel about that one, and what I mean by hear about how they feel is from a lyrical standpoint.”
He went on to say, “I’m hoping that it’ll resonate with people because it really is kind of a ‘learn from our mistakes’ narrative. Y’know, it’s the idea of, when sometimes you go through life, and you fall down and make your mistakes, you get up, you dust yourself off, and you learn from those mistakes, and it makes you a better person. But with that said, they are sometimes your hope is that somebody else doesn’t have to make the same mistake, that they don’t have to live through the same mistakes you did.”
Alter Bridge kicks off its 25-date European tour on November 1st at Hamburg, Germany’s Sporthalle Hamburg.
