Recently Myles Kennedy and Mark Tremonti from Alter Bridge<\/a> joined me on the show. We talked about the new album, their imminent UK arena tour, their joint solo for ‘Blackbird’ being voted ‘the best solo of all-time’, their ventures outside of the band (Myles is the vocalist in Slash’s current band, and Mark plays guitar for Creed<\/a>, and has also recently released a solo record) and their take on the controversial issue of band ‘meet and greets’.<\/p>\n

This last subject, in particular, has been covered in depth in Kerrang! Magazine lately, with Rou Reynolds of Enter Shikari<\/a> (‘For a human to charge another human money to meet them is just wrong<\/em>‘) and Oli Sykes from Bring Me The Horizon<\/a> (‘Next USA tour! Oli Sykes special polaroid package! Take a photo with me! Special price! Absolutely no charge at all! Fucking cockstars<\/em>‘) expressing particularly forthright views. With this in mind, I was keen to ask the band, who do offer such VIP ‘meet and greet’ packages, for their views on the subject.<\/p>\n

You can listen again to the interview below, and the band’s new album, Fortress is out this week, and currently No. 3 in the iTunes chart. With any luck it should stay in the top 10 this weekend!<\/p>\n
