Heroes push us to excel. Their will, courage, and sacrifice can bring out the best in the world around them.
Fittingly, on their fifth full-length album, The Last Hero, hard rock juggernaut Alter Bridge pursue a level of excellence inspired by timeless heroism. Making the record became something of a personal quest for the quartet—Myles Kennedy [vocals, guitar], Mark Tremonti [guitar, vocals], Brian Marshall [bass], and Scott Phillips [drums]. In 2013, the band reached an elevated creative and critical milestone with Fortress. It bowed at #12 on the Billboard Top 200, moving over 30,000 copies first-week and earning unanimous tastemaker praise. The record garnered perfect scores from Total Guitar and KERRANG! as well as acclaim from Billboard, The Guardian, Loudwire, Ultimate Guitar, and many more. In between sold out tours in Europe and North America, the guys appeared on VH1 and graced the cover of Classic Rock Magazine who labeled Fortress, “The best thing they’ve ever done,” while Eddie Trunk called it, “A top 10 album of the last 10 years.” When it came time to write new music, the musicians collectively raised the bar yet again.
“Every time we do a record, my only goal is for people to simply think it’s better than the previous one,” declares Mark. “We pushed ourselves so hard last time, and we knew were going to push ourselves much harder here. When we brought material in, it had to outdo Fortress.”
“We always strive for that,” agrees Myles. “While recognizing where we’ve come from, we wanted to expand what Alter Bridge is. This record is definitely an exploration of the hero theme—whether it be the lack of heroes, the need for heroes, or a tribute to heroes. There’s a story in there.”
Myles wrapped up touring with Slash, and Mark finished up a successful run supporting his second solo album Cauterize in late 2015. By January 2016, the four members congregated back in Orlando with longtime producer Michael “Elvis” Baskette [Slash, Trivium]. Over the next four months, they diligently assembled and tracked the 13 songs comprising The Last Hero.
“Because we have very finite windows of time to put these records together, it’s nonstop when we regroup,” explains Myles. “Each writer is very involved.”
“We’d work all day in the studio, and Myles and I would go back to my house and come up with ideas all night,” recalls Mark. “We set up camp in my kids’ playroom with a Garage Band system to prepare for the next day. It was intense.”
Constantly progressing, the boys decided to employ some fresh techniques, utilize more alternate tunings and even recorded on a seven-string guitar for the first time.
“We don’t want to put out the same thing over and over again,” Tremonti continues. “We want to keep everyone guessing. There are three new tunings, and that helped keep us inspired. I’d never recorded on a seven-string until now. This is the first record where Myles planned out his solos beforehand. In the past, he would wing it with this magical, improvisational touch. What he did is amazing. Me and Slash have both said he’s the best guitar player in our bands.”
“We weren’t afraid to travel certain roads we might’ve been hesitant to venture down on the last two albums,” adds Myles. “As a result, some of the songs are more uplifting and melodic. There was certainly a psychological shift. We embraced the past. You hear elements of each record throughout our history.”
The Last Hero opens with the urgent, untamed, and undeniable “Show Me A Leader.” Following an intricate clean intro, the song gallops into a rapturous chant punctuated by fierce and fiery seven-string shredding. It’s a clarion call for the next phase of Alter Bridge.
“Lyrically, it definitely reflects the frustration a lot of people are feeling with the current state of the world,” admits Myles. “The world is looking for trustworthy effective leadership and not this undignified dog and pony show that’s really made a mockery of our system.”
“It’s indicative of our process,” Mark goes on. “Myles had this guitar intro that I loved, and I had the chorus. We put them together. The words call out for a proper leader.”
“My Champion” climbs from a swell of delay into an impressive guitar lick before Myles delivers one of the most spirited choruses of their career to date. “The lyric was actually inspired by thinking back to my situation as a kid,” he remembers. “I was this really small, underdeveloped kid who had to work extremely hard to keep up with all of my peers. It was very frustrating. I would hear a lot of words of encouragement from parents, coaches, or teachers though. A lot of those things were stored away, and they manifested themselves in this song. I’ve been able to apply some of those concepts in my life a thousand times over since then.”
Then, there’s “Poison in Your Veins,” which channels an airy refrain through a whirlwind of guitar Sturm und Drang. “This song showcases the inner dialogue in one’s head; serving as reminder to live life courageously, take chances, and ultimately believe in yourself. It’s not a new theme for us, but definitely one that can never be overstated," explains Myles.
Tremonti adds: “We wanted to make it as musically interesting as possible, while preserving a hook.”
“Losing Patience” tempers a bombastic drum groove with an ominous and poignant proclamation, while the ballad “You Will Be Remembered” evinces another side of the sound. “It’s a tribute to heroes like anybody who’s served the country or community,” Myles remarks. “The song touches on the ultimate sacrifice soldiers, police, and firemen are willing to give.”
Nearing seven minutes, the title track and finale ebbs and flows between hypnotic heaviness and an instrumental elegance that’s cinematic in scope. “That’s probably my favorite track,” he states. “Whether it’s today, 100 years ago, or 1,000 years ago, being a human on this planet is never easy. We’re going through a lot. The need for heroes, positive influences, and good leadership is obvious, but we definitely need it right now.”
“Fans love the epic side of Alter Bridge,” Mark says. “We tried to stretch the boundaries again. The arrangement isn’t typical at all. It’s an important moment for the record.”
Ultimately, Alter Bridge heroically deliver for fans worldwide and rock music at large.
“It’s good to be back in the Alter Bridge battle,” Myles leaves off. “Every time we do a record, I’m reminded of how great it is to have this passionate and loyal audience. We don’t take it lightly. We consider it an honor that people let us into their lives that way.”
Con la puesta de la primera piedra de las obras de placa huella en el municipio de El Santuario y la revisión del proyecto del Centro Integral Parque de las Luces en Itagüí, el director de Prosperidad Social, Nemesio Roys Garzón inició este viernes su visita al departamento de Antioquia que continuará este sábado con la entrega del mejoramiento de la Unidad Deportiva en el municipio de Alejandría, que contará con una moderna cancha de fútbol 11.
"Las zona rurales del país concentran la mayor parte de la pobreza, por eso, a través de Prosperidad Social buscamos que los recursos del gobierno nacional sean destinados a los colombianos con mayores necesidades, impulsando así sus actividades económicas y trayendo desarrollo para que de esta forma mejore la calidad de vida de esta población. Por eso estamos en Antioquia dando continuidad a los proyectos de infraestructura social pactados con los municipios y trayendo anuncios de nuevas obras para el departamento", afirmó Nemesio Roys.
Es así como se dio inicio a la construcción de obras de placa huella de 1,8 kilómetros que interconectará 8 veredas con la cabecera urbana en El Santuario. Este proyecto mejorará el transporte de productos agrícolas desde las zonas rurales hasta el casco urbano, beneficiando a los campesinos de la región y reduciendo los costos de movilidad de los productos a la plaza de mercado local, haciéndolos más competitivos. Con la obra se beneficiarán 2 mil habitantes de las veredas: Aldana Arriba, Bodeguitas, La Aurora, La Cuchilla, La Floresta, La Paz, Las Palmas y La Serranía. La obra representa una inversión de $1.700 millones y se entregará el próximo mes de agosto.
Así mismo, se hizo visita de seguimiento al Centro Integral Parque de Las Luces en Itagüí, megaproyecto que contempla la construcción del Centro de Desarrollo Infantil más grande de Colombia y la sede del Hogar de los recuerdos zona norte, con lo que el municipio ampliará su cobertura en programas de atención integral para la primera infancia y los adultos mayores. El proyecto tuvo una inversión cercana a los $22.000 millones aportados por Prosperidad Social y mejorará los servicios para la atención integral de 4 mil adultos mayores y 600 niños y niñas.
Finalmente, este sábado, el director de Prosperidad Social Nemesio Roys Garzón, en compañía del Alcalde y la comunidad del municipio de Alejandría, hará entrega del mejoramiento de la unidad deportiva en el Barrio Nudillales, obra que consistió en la construcción de una cancha de fútbol 11 en grama sintética y el suministro e instalación de dos porterías que prestará servicio a los habitantes de la zona y facilitará el desarrollo de actividades de los cerca de 20 equipos de fútbol existentes en el área rural y urbana. El proyecto impactará a cerca de 5 mil habitantes y tuvo una inversión cercana a los $1.600 millones y con ella se le da cumplimiento al anuncio suscrito por el presidente Juan Manuel Santos
Convenios nuevos
En 2017 se ejecutarán 33 proyectos de infraestructura por un monto superior a $50.000 millones en 28 municipios. Así mismo, se harán 1.017 mejoramientos de vivienda beneficiando a igual número de familias, con una inversión de $12.323 millones, entre otras obras para Antioquia.

this group of cards include the jack of spades, the four of hearts, the three of clubs and the ace of diamonds. this is for my mermaid altered playing card deck. my goal is to have all 52 cards plus numerous jokers. you can see which ones i have on my swap-bot profile.
The monkey is for my sister, the owl is for me and the others are for swaps. I just ordered a bazillion blank caps so that I can make many more. :)
These are a bunch of CDs I've altered to sell in a forthcoming craft fair in June. I've glued scraps of text, music score and maps to cover the CDs and then covered over with coloured tissue paper.
I then used my cropodile to punch holes around the CD and blanket stitched with different fibres.
I used an assortment of beads for some of the hangers and drops and have stuck paper, silk flowers and butterflies and other embelishments to each CD to decorate.
Due to my current move to Dublin, these ladies, gent, and creatures all need new homes sooner than usual! I don't do sales very often like this, so it is a good chance to take advantage of 30% off :)
Once the sale ends any stragglers will be getting shipped to me from the U.S.. so they will go back to their regular prices once they are available again.
The original painting is by Rubens. The picture of Justin Bieber, chosen for its "pose", was Googled.
I did NOT make this image, my Granddaughter Allison did. She had posted the original on her Flickr site. She is a vey bright (in all ways) Redhead.
But I was struck by the look similarity She had to her Grandmother in her young years. Her Grandmother had a hair color approximately the same as shown in this image after I applied the magic of Photoshop.
The construction of the chapel began in about 1600 by Sir Henry Slingsby I at a time when wealthy landowners found it fashionable to have their own place of worship apart from the parish church.
Initially the building would have stood isolated from the main Red House which was still in its original location on the moated site 100 metres to the west, the construction of the modern main house was not begun until 1607. The chapel was built in the college style with the altar and main window in the eastern half separated by a screen from the western half where the servants and estate workers would probably have sat. The gallery on the first floor was most likely where the Slingsby family and guests sat. There are a couple of idiosyncrasies in its design - a “storeroom” runs down the entire north side on the ground floor, presumably for general use of the estate (eg storing apples!). Also on the first floor is another room behind the organ which was probably a muniments room. (A muniments cupboard which would fit exactly across one end of this room exists in one of the rooms in the main building and is certainly from the 17th century.)
The size of the building is unusual as it can seat far more than the contemporary Slingsby household of 24 and this may have aroused suspicion from the Archbishop. Consequently, the Slingsbys found it difficult to have the chapel consecrated as the Church was of the opinion that they would not be able to control the way the sacraments were celebrated. This was also at a time when catholicism was unpopular. From the diary of Sir Henry Slingsby II, we know it was used for christenings in 1636 and 1638 although on the second occasion the preacher refused to preach until he had obtained permission from the Chancellor of York.
The problems associated with having your own chapel at the time is perhaps reflected in its external design. The walls and windows that could be seen by any visitors (ie. the north and west) were plain, whereas those to the east and south, facing the house and gardens, were more ornate and obviously belonging to a religious building. It was not wise to advertise that you held services in your own household as it might invite accusations of irregularities from your enemies.
In its current state, the chapel appears remarkably original although it underwent huge restoration in the 1860s. The north and west walls were completely rebuilt with the brick inscription “Pro termino vitæ sic non nos nobis” (For the term of our life not for ourselves) moved from above the front door of the main building to above the chapel door.
The roof ridge was also lowered. The staircase, known as the staircase of friendship, came from the main building as well and is remarkable for the crests of family friends of the Slingsbys mounted on the newel posts. It is a 17th century “Who’s Who” of the landowners of the north. Even more remarkable is its original condition, the crests still have their 17th century paint showing through a bit of 21st century dust. Although not the only one of its kind, it is now almost certainly unique as other examples have been greatly altered. Half way up the staircase is the statue of a boy which probably held candles in his hands (one now lost) to light the stairs - it is one of the earliest examples of a lead statue. Much of the panelling is 17th century although it is not certain that it was all originally used in the chapel and, again, some may have been moved from the main house. During Red House’s time as a preparatory school (1902-2001) names of some of the leavers were painted on the panelling. Also coats of arms of some pupils were hung on the walls in the eastern half and are still here today.
The main east window does not contain much of its original glass. The top lights consist of fragments from the main house and were probably put there during the chapel’s restoration in the 19th century. The three lower lights have the coats of arms of Sir Henry Slingsby’s friends and the lower sections of these are memorial glass commemorating the death of Sir Charles Slingsby, in 1869, who drowned in the famous ferry capsize in the River Ure by Newby Hall. His hatchment also hangs on the south wall.
