Track information
"Metalingus"
Although never released as a single, "Metalingus" is one of Alter Bridge's most popular songs and is a live staple. The song has been used by professional wrestler and WWE Hall of Famer Adam "Edge" Copeland as his entrance theme in WWE from 2004 onward. From March to June 2022, he changed his entrance theme to another Alter Bridge song, "The Other Side", which would later be the entrance music for The Judgment Day stable after Edge was removed from the group. He continued to use "Metalingus" once more after returning at SummerSlam 2022 and after joining All Elite Wrestling (AEW) in October 2023.[10]
"In Loving Memory"
Like "Metalingus", "In Loving Memory" was never released as a single, though it is one of the band's most popular songs among fans. On November 5, 2008 in Glasgow, an electric version of the song was performed for the first time, and has since become a regular feature in their live shows.
Mark Tremonti wrote the song about the death of his mother, Mary Elizabeth Tremonti, who died in 2002. In an interview he said: "There are a lot of themes on this record that are very personal, for example 'In Loving Memory' is about my mother who recently passed away. In terms of purely personal significance, you cannot get any deeper than that. It is definitely a sad song."[11]
