Yeah, Come to Life isn't really a good song to start with. I love it, but it's more of a grower.

Myles is influeneced by a lot of old blues and he has a thing for old r&b he says influences his voice as well. Tremonti likes the older metal, he cites tallica/venom/ celtic frost as some of his favorites, among shredders like batio and John Petrucci. Brian the bassist is a rush fan and classic rock/ metal. Drummer Scott likes everything pretty much.



And Creed like Lakes said, considering My Own Prison is pretty much on par with this.

Alter Bridge has been described as alternative metal[1], post-grunge[1], and hard rock[2] and as an "an amalgamation of 1970s classic rock with contemporary hard rock,"[2] and have influences ranging from, according to singer Myles Kennedy, "the bluesier element of what came into the United States in the early part of the last century and all the way up through modern metal."[82] The band is known for their live performances as they do more variations than their original songs while performing live. The band's music is heavier and more technical compared to most of the band's contemporaries and is characterized by the blend of guitar and overall musical styles between Myles Kennedy and Mark Tremonti. Kennedy, a former member of the jazz fusion bands Cosmic Dust and Citizen Swing and a longtime listener of soul and R&B musicians such as Stevie Wonder and Marvin Gaye[83], has a bluesier, darker style and adds textures and colors to the band's music, while Tremonti's influences are primarily metal bands such as Metallica, Slayer, and Celtic Frost[84], which are evident in his playing. The music itself is co-written by Mark Tremonti and Myles Kennedy with most of the lyrics written by Myles Kennedy (though many of the lyrics on the band's first album were written or co-written by Tremonti). The band's lyrics often touch on dark subjects such as death ("Blackbird," "In Loving Memory") and addiction ("Buried Alive," "Watch Over You," "Burn it Down"), both of which are both common themes in the band's music, though the lyrics on their first two albums are mostly positive and hopeful. However, their third album, AB III, sees a departure from this and the lyrics on it are much darker.
