ALTER BRIDGE: 'Ties That Bind' Video Posted Online

December 14, 2007

ALTER BRIDGE's video for the song "Ties That Bind" can be viewed below. The track comes off the group's sophomore effort, "Blackbird", which sold 47,000 copies in the United States in its first week of release to debut at No. 13 on The Billboard 200 chart.

ALTER BRIDGE guitarist Mark Tremonti said that while the chart numbers are significant, the band tries not to obsess about them. "Yeah, I mean, first-week sales are an important thing 'cause it is a business and you have to sell CDs to kind of stay out there, and we just want to be able to tour as long as we want — as long as we can," he said. "So the more people that are buying CDs, the longer we can do this. But we don't sit and constantly look at charts. I think people around us usually kind of, we overhear them talking about it."
