He wrote this song for the guy who sold him his first guitar and passed away. The way you connected with it with your own journey is what makes their music great, though !
There’s a reason they’ve had the same 4 members for almost 20 years and released 6 studio albums and are still going strong. Legit not a single bad song in their catalog. I just seen Myles a couple weeks ago and he was absolutely incredible! And I’ll be seeing Tremonti on Sept 4th! I can’t wait! You should really checkout Wonderful Life, the studio version. It’s absolutely beautiful and a definitely a tear jerker! Their song Lover is about abuse, and Slip to the Void can be related to addiction, and how you slip into that dark place and cut everyone off.
I love alter bridge, but when they were in Sweden I enjoyed shinedown more. There was something about alter bridge that day. They seemed uninterested maybe becuse they did not sell out idk. Shinedown before them just shredded the place tho, really got the audience pumped up!
@@viikmaqic that’s disappointing to hear! I’ve seen Alter Bridge a few times along with Myles solo. All have been incredible! I will say that AB doesn’t interact with the crowd a whole lot. Not as much as Shinedown that is. Just seen them a couple weeks ago for the second time and they were awesome! Myles solo is constantly talking. But it could’ve been a few reasons why they seemed “lackluster” lengthy tour, tired, off night, anything. I’m seeing Tremonti and Sevendust on the 4th and I cannot wait!! Hopefully they’re out your way on the next album cycle and have a chance to put on a better show!
@@TheHeath68 I mean probably the tour was exhausting. They were still good, something just seemed off :) I would totally still go to their concerts. Amazing band!
Holy cow. You saw it lol. I gotta say that I’m very very proud of you hearing a bit of your story, glad that you are here with us and healthy, in a good place. Keep going!
You gotta check 'Fortress' by Alter Bridge if you're into guitar solos, you can hear 4 of them in that song. 1st by Mark, 2nd by Myles, 3rd by Mark and 4th by Myles. Phenomenal guitar duel showing how amazing they are with guitars in their hands.
Great Reaction! One of the things I like about Alterbridge is their songs have actual content. When I was growing up in singer songwriter days of the 70s that was common, but now it's quite rare
wow Jen, this is the most emotional and touching reaction I've seen of Blackbird. Thank you for sharing bits of your story. Your words were inspiring and gave me some reassurance I needed to overcome my own challenges. Alter bridge has a LOT of such songs and also Myles Kennedy's own solo songs (outside of AB) are really touching too, looking forward to seeing more reactions of them :)) I have a few suggestions for the "healing" kind of songs from AB and Myles Kennedy: My Champion (AB) One fine day (Myles kennedy solo) Get Along Acoustic version (Myles Kennedy solo) Metalingus (AB) Burn it down (AB) Wayward One (AB) Before Tomorrow Comes (AB) This one is the best acoustic version of "before tomorrow comes" by Myles: th-cam.com/video/6rhpyCUaQS8/w-d-xo.html&ab_channel=Berserker
When they created Alter Bridge it was supposed to bring the music they really love to people. Creed was a “mainstream” band, but AB ain’t it. Tremonti with Creed was holding his creativity to feat Scott Stapp voice, but as he said, with Myles he can write whatever he wants, Myles is gonna sing it perfectly. With AB they’re loyal to themselfs, and band problems were gone. Same people (not Scott) but different project and soul. Sorry for my English
Damn.... kicked the dragon.... Congratulations for sure This song has meaning for me for years, but now, I have new perspective on a new meaning so thanks for your reaction
So happy you got to this song! It's an amazing song and they are an amazing band... powerful stuff and to this day they are still making amazing music. Calm the Fire is amazing and so is The Last Hero! Both from more recent albums!
Alter Bridge have a way to always do great uplifting songs: IMO, the best beautiful uplifting songs are All Ends Well, My Champion, Wonderful Life and Dying Light... Thank you for sharing your story, you're a really strong woman!!! 😁
I know this video was posted a while back, and you may have looked it up by now, but the song you remember from Celebrity Rehab is called Watch Over You. One of my favorites - and one of those I have a personal connection to. Also, Blackbird is about a death of a loved one (a close friend, in Myles’ case), but it’s interesting how you related to it through your struggles.
At first I was like... nah you didn't realise it was about losing someone close to Myles....but as I watched I realised that it doesn't matter, you connected and identified with the song in your own way... and that is the point of music, you make your own connection, and whatever way that is, is right for you... so good on you.
Myles is a very incredible guitarist. He was a guitar instructor and he also gave lessons to slash while they were at tour. They are mostly a hard rock band but sometimes they get in to metal. They are nothing like creed.
The solo was perfect.... Myles is one of the most melodic lead players, slightly more so than Mark, who we can get pretty melodic, but Myles makes that guitar weep.... On the other side, while Myles can get some good speed, Mark is just better on the melodic shred aspect, and they seem to respect that about each other and splitting the solo was genius
@@williamkramer9731 absolutely! I also love while Mark is a great shreddy metal lead but also he writes amazing clean riffs like in loving memorys intro. In blackbirds solo I always think Myles’ part is a sad part, a weeping person who is devastated from the death of a person, and mark’s part is like aggressive towards the world saying “why he had to go” sorry about my English 😅
I was introduced to AB in kind of a strange way. First, I became aware of Myles when he was in the 2000 movie Rockstar (he's the one Mark Wahlberg's character brings up onto the stage in the last concert scene), and looked him up to find that he was the lead singer for AB. Didn't really go much deeper than that at the time, but then later discovered that WWE wrestler Edge used their song "Metalingus" for his entrance music. When I started looking for more of their music, I was well and truly down the rabbit hole.
Prayers for you and your family 😔 I hate hearing about loss from addiction. That means addiction won that day. And I wish people would all get the help they so desperately need. Sadly, most don’t before it steals their life away 😢
@@JustJenRx we lost her 2 years ago on Father's Day. I saw it coming, but couldn't find a way to get her to understand the love was there. I refused to enable her, but always told her I loved her, but hated her choices. I demanded her sobriety to be involved in my life. It was probably the wrong choice, but the rest of my family continued to enable her destructive behavior.
I've got a band that I know you'll like. Brand new band called Plush. 4 ladies all 21 or younger, the drummer is 17. They have a new album, have been together little more than a year and they rock. The singer sounds like Ann Wilson crossed with Amy Lee. Jump on this while their new and fresh. They are the future of rock and roll. All 4 are well known on social media separately but now are together. They just finished opening for Halestorm and Evanescence and will be opening for Slash in February.
Grest reaction Jen, love Alter Bridge! The beauty of Myles writing is how lyrically, he writes so that the listener can interpret the words on a deeply personal level. Extraordinary vocals combined with amazing musicianship, what more could you ask for? Definitely check out "Cry of Achilles" when you can
My favorite AB song. Myles has one of the great voices in rock. And they played this as well or even better than the studio version, which is the sign of a great band. Great reaction Jen. Say what you need to, we are here for you.
The song is about somebody who died of cancer, a friend on Myles' who sold him his first guitar. The blackbird is a representation of the soul in a lot of cultures including some native American cultures.
Great reaction. Great choice of live version. The band and Myles smoke the living daylights out of this song. Their whole catalogue is solid gold, so do yourself a favour. Some of my faves; One Day Remains, Before Tomorrow Comes, White Knuckles, Calm the Fire, This Side Of Fate, Dying Light. Enjoy!
The song is about a long time friend of Myles who had been battling cancer and unfortunately passed away. Also heads up, they don’t like being called “Creed 2” or “ Creed with a different singer” etc. Creed and Alter Bridge are 2 totally separate bands.
I think Creed gets to much shit! Really dont get it! Was an amazing band in theire gengre! But AB is much better not in the same gengre or league but better in all! Still Creed sold 22 m albums so its alot of people out there just pretending its bad! Slayer has sold 20 m albums, one of my top 5 bands! Just saying!
The one thing I hate is when people say that this is Creed 2. Thank you for saying that they are Alter Bridge, and yes, they are better than Creed. This is my favorite song by my favorite band, so thank you for reacting to it
@@fredbarnes2049 I'd agree with that, bringing Myles in didn't just add to great songwriting and a great voice but it allows Tremonti to shred aswell !
É incrível como essa música foi escrita! Escrita primordialmente para uma pessoa específica, porém a letra é tão bem articulada que faz as pessoas se conectarem com suas próprias histórias de vida! Incrível
Hi Jen, if you want to do another Alter Bridge related song then check out the single 'Love Can Only Heal' from Myles Kennedy's first solo album, I think you'll not only like the song but it's different to what Myles does with Alter Bridge.
Based on your story and reaction to this, I highly recommend listening to their song All Ends Well. Also, definitely the Live Billboard version of just Myles and his acoustic guitar playing Watch Over You.
Hey Jen, Alter Bridge is def not Creed. he dynamics are different and Myles is an awesome muscision and songwriter. There is some energy going on in Alter Bridge that I coud not find in Creed. Btw the drummer and gitarist were from Creed.. I am happy you found yourself in this number, there are different ways to interpret a song. It is written by Myles Kennedy for his best friend Mark Morris who passed away. Listen "addicted to pain" from them. Pretty heavy song, think you will love it.
I have followed AlterBridge since Creed broke up cuz I was a huge fan of Creed but I am so grateful the created AB. My toughest times were nothing like yours but their music sure helped me through it. You can find any song of theirs & it will definitely move you cuz they ALL have meaning. I hope you get to see them live cuz you will hear perfection. They are the perfect amount of Metal, the perfect amount of ballad & the perfect amount of hard rock🤘🏼 if you get a chance listen to all of the Royal Albert Hall performance & you will be blown away. Also would like to suggest a reaction to In Loving Memory from Live at Wembley. It’s a tear jerker too but Mark wrote it foe his mom many years ago. I suggest the live one to see the emotion but any version is great.🙏🏼❤️ Your BlackBird reaction is the best reaction I have ever seen. I got chills with you. AB still give me chills after all these years. It is just amazing🙏🏼❤️
Cry of Achilles, seriously an amazing trip and an amazing song. A lot of great songs by Alter Bridge but this is in my top 5 for sure, check it out because it's a good listen
I am so admirous of you for what you have overcome. I ain't there yet, but im trying. Lost my wife not too long ago. She was only 35. We were married for 15 years. Damn
@@JustJenRx like said im trying. Depends on the day. My best friend in the world. We will meet again! Its not your fault but I just lost it again. Im sick with flu and I just turn into a huge baby. First time in 15 years I didn't get a flu shot......damn
Quite simply, THE BEST song EVER written. I am 55 years old, a BIG assed dude and this makes me cry every DAMNED time. I've heard it 1,000's of times too. NEVER gets old.
Mark Tremonti is 1 Bad Ass fiddle player !! Miles is fantastic as well. They BOTH have Signature PRS (Paul Reed Smith) guitars !! And well deserved!! Watch Over You is fantastic vocals from Miles !!
2 years after you posted this reaction and I am happy that I found it. Your words along with this song are healing me. One of my favorites is when you say "dont let it change you for the worse". Life is not easy, and I feel I have become a little bitter, but I think I can come back. Thank you.
On December 26, 2018 (my dad’s birthday) my now ex called me to say my first child (I was 36 at the time) was lost to miscarriage. I went into a severely deep depression that nearly ended me. I heard this song for the first time six months later and 100% believe it was the turning point that allowed me to crawl out of that hole. I now have an entire sleeve tattoo on my left arm with the lyrics that gave me strength, a huge black bird, and the most beautiful and perfect tattoo of the ultrasound picture we received after the first and only ultrasound. This song saved my life and gave me the hope that one day I too will fly and see my baby again. I truly hope these guys know how much their music has helped some people.
This song makes me cry every time. I grew up in an extremely broken home, from 4 years old my alcoholic pill popping mom used me as a pawn against my dad until I was 10 when my dad finally got full custody of me then when I was 17 in 2003 I had my life taken away from me when my best friend pushed me out the bed of a truck going between 50 and 70 MPH, fast forward 20 years and i've had 30 brain/head surgeries. I feel broken but Alter Bridge has helped me cross so many bridges in my life since i discovered them in 2004
Holy hell how did I miss this by 4 days 🤦♂️ Myles has a song in his solo project "Love Can Only Heal", I'm sure it'll hit you just as hard as this one, here's the link: th-cam.com/video/AuRZ6oFzQm4/w-d-xo.html
First off, I just want to say congratulations on kicking heroin! I know you don't know me, but I'm proud of you! Second, next Tuesday I'm getting a tattoo in memory of my 3 year old son who died of cancer and I'm basing it on the line, "Someday I too will fly and find you again." I can't wait!
I feel like Creed would’ve been more respected had it not been for Scott’s antics. Granted he was struggling with alcoholism and drug addiction, it still wasn’t an excuse for him acting like a complete ass. I think that’s why they got a bad rap. From what I’ve heard, Scott is clean and getting his like back on track. But alter bridge let’s the members talents really shine through when they weren’t really able to do with Creed.
You’re an awesome person, great vids! You should listen to cry of Achilles by them, it gives me like a different energy, maybe you could relate? Love the vid
Nice reaction Jen!If you like songs with a lot of back-to-back solos,you should definetely listen to Fortress by Alter Bridge,an absolute banger of a song! Here's the link with lyrics on screen: th-cam.com/video/tVItMBAfaCI/w-d-xo.html
Words Darker Than Their wings from Royal Albert Hall with the Parallax Orchestra. You will get to hear Mark Tremonti's voice cause he does 1/2 the vocals in this song. It'll blow you away. You gotta do it, you won't regret it.
With your background, check out "Watch over You". He wrote it about someone who battled addiction but never won the battle. The acoustic version is my favorite.
Those solos have won as the new best solo of all time! Thanks for sharing your emotions and positive outlook with us!! I feel you! Wait till you hear the new album! The new song Fable of the Silent Son is being compared with Blackbird!🤯🥰😈🤘
He wrote this song for the guy who sold him his first guitar and passed away. The way you connected with it with your own journey is what makes their music great, though !
There’s a reason they’ve had the same 4 members for almost 20 years and released 6 studio albums and are still going strong. Legit not a single bad song in their catalog.

I would totally still go to their concerts. Amazing band!
They're all down to earth, clean, and have good chemistry.
Keep listening. The rabbit hole goes deeper than you imagine 😉
Alter Bridge is massive in the UK, I don't know why they are not more popular in the US. They are very good. New subscriber, like your reactions.🤟💀🤘
Because here in the US people haven't moved on from Creed, mate
Alter Bridge are an incredible band, you should react to so many more songs by them. Listen to In Loving Memory too
A good one to react to would definitely be “Cradle to the Grave”. I think you’ll enjoy that one musically and from a lyrical stand point.
Holy cow. You saw it lol. I gotta say that I’m very very proud of you hearing a bit of your story, glad that you are here with us and healthy, in a good place. Keep going!

Myles is an amazing Guitarist too. He's the bluesier solist
Great Reaction! One of the things I like about Alterbridge is their songs have actual content. When I was growing up in singer songwriter days of the 70s that was common, but now it's quite rare
Fantastic reaction! You should do ''In loving Memory'' by them as well from the same concert.
wow Jen, this is the most emotional and touching reaction I've seen of Blackbird. Thank you for sharing bits of your story. Your words were inspiring and gave me some reassurance I needed to overcome my own challenges.
Alter bridge has a LOT of such songs and also Myles Kennedy's own solo songs (outside of AB) are really touching too, looking forward to seeing more reactions of them :))
I have a few suggestions for the "healing" kind of songs from AB and Myles Kennedy:
My Champion (AB)
One fine day (Myles kennedy solo)
Get Along Acoustic version (Myles Kennedy solo)
Metalingus (AB)
Burn it down (AB)
Wayward One (AB)
Before Tomorrow Comes (AB)
This one is the best acoustic version of "before tomorrow comes" by Myles:

Yup, that's the one. Rock steady Mama!
Damn.... kicked the dragon....
Congratulations for sure
This song has meaning for me for years, but now, I have new perspective on a new meaning so thanks for your reaction
🤘🤘rock on jen. My personal fave song.
Seen them twice never disappointed. Myles in the lead singer with Slash as well.
So happy you got to this song! It's an amazing song and they are an amazing band... powerful stuff and to this day they are still making amazing music. Calm the Fire is amazing and so is The Last Hero! Both from more recent albums!

@@aybarskokmen8884 that's the way I was trying to describe it. And despite your English you summed it up perfectly.
Start with there first album"One Day Remains" then go from there and see how they progressed
I was introduced to AB in kind of a strange way. First, I became aware of Myles when he was in the 2000 movie Rockstar (he's the one Mark Wahlberg's character brings up onto the stage in the last concert scene), and looked him up to find that he was the lead singer for AB.

I lost a niece to addiction and overdose. I wish I could have gotten her to listen to this song! Your point of view is so spot on! Love you Jen!

Jen... can you please react to Alter Bridge's Broken Wings and/or Open Your Eyes?? They are amazing songs as well
Grest reaction Jen, love Alter Bridge!
The beauty of Myles writing is how lyrically, he writes so that the listener can interpret the words on a deeply personal level.
Extraordinary vocals combined with amazing musicianship, what more could you ask for?
Definitely check out "Cry of Achilles" when you can
The other guitarist is mark tremonti.
He is brilliant, one of the best guitarists of all time.
Listen to Tremonti - Dust
A BRILLIANT song.

OK this is not meant as a diss. But honestly I like Alterbridge a lot more than Creed. Probably mostly because of Myles Kennedy. Just my opinion
@@fredbarnes2049 I'd agree with that, bringing Myles in didn't just add to great songwriting and a great voice but it allows Tremonti to shred aswell !
The band also hate that too! They’re 2 totally separate bands!
Creed is alternative, Alter Bridge is hard rock/metal
Im really glad you got off the drugs and you aren't going back, so soooo great for you!!!!
Your just scratching the surface you need need to go into the depth of this band.
É incrível como essa música foi escrita! Escrita primordialmente para uma pessoa específica, porém a letra é tão bem articulada que faz as pessoas se conectarem com suas próprias histórias de vida! Incrível
Try some Tremonti...hes the lead for Alterbridge...his solo material is fire
Also Dying Machine by Tremonti!
Hi Jen, if you want to do another Alter Bridge related song then check out the single 'Love Can Only Heal' from Myles Kennedy's first solo album, I think you'll not only like the song but it's different to what Myles does with Alter Bridge.
Thought I clicked on a reaction, turns out I clicked on life advice. Thanks Jen!
now you could react to mark tremonti with his solo project he is the alter bridge guitarist
Try Isolation. It's their best known song and quite good
i think you should react (or listen on your own) to all Alter Bridge's discography. you'll really love each song.
and myles's solo songs too.
Please more Alter Bridge. In loving memory ! Mark wrote it when his mom passed away ❤️
Based on your story and reaction to this, I highly recommend listening to their song All Ends Well. Also, definitely the Live Billboard version of just Myles and his acoustic guitar playing Watch Over You.
Two other songs from the Blackbird album you might like since they are about addiction are Buried Alive and Find a New Way to Live.
They are much more than creed ever was.... Scott Stapp vocals suck
Thanks for the ❤ jen
Greatest Guitar solo of all time. Best band of the last 20 years.
you have to check out the band Evergrey / they are great too, they come from Gothenburg / Sweden
Hey Jen, Alter Bridge is def not Creed. he dynamics are different and Myles is an awesome muscision and songwriter. There is some energy going on in Alter Bridge that I coud not find in Creed. Btw the drummer and gitarist were from Creed..

AB still give me chills after all these years. It is just amazing🙏🏼❤️
I take back my comment on your video for Words Darker Than Their Wings....... You HAVE done Blackbird lol
❤
I like your reactions, but you pause way to many times..
Yes, at the wrong times!!!!
You wanna hear some crazy early rock react to Edgar and Johnny Winters version of tobacco road live from 1970. The albino brothers will blow you away.
Cry of Achilles, seriously an amazing trip and an amazing song. A lot of great songs by Alter Bridge but this is in my top 5 for sure, check it out because it's a good listen
I am so admirous of you for what you have overcome. I ain't there yet, but im trying. Lost my wife not too long ago. She was only 35. We were married for 15 years. Damn
I’m sorry for your loss, may she Rest In Peace. I pray you will get there too one day soon.
@@JustJenRx like said im trying. Depends on the day. My best friend in the world. We will meet again! Its not your fault but I just lost it again. Im sick with flu and I just turn into a huge baby. First time in 15 years I didn't get a flu shot......damn
You need to check out Myles with Slash you will absolutely love it....there's not one song I can request here as they did a few and I love them all
FORTRESS. You won't be disappointed. Thanks for the honest and emotional reaction to one of my all time favorite songs
Quite simply, THE BEST song EVER written. I am 55 years old, a BIG assed dude and this makes me cry every DAMNED time. I've heard it 1,000's of times too. NEVER gets old.
Mark Tremonti is 1 Bad Ass fiddle player !! Miles is fantastic as well. They BOTH have Signature PRS (Paul Reed Smith) guitars !! And well deserved!! Watch Over You is fantastic vocals from Miles !!
This song has the best guitar solo I've ever heard regarding feeling the emotion of the lyrics and melody.
2 years after you posted this reaction and I am happy that I found it. Your words along with this song are healing me. One of my favorites is when you say "dont let it change you for the worse". Life is not easy, and I feel I have become a little bitter, but I think I can come back. Thank you.
On December 26, 2018 (my dad’s birthday) my now ex called me to say my first child (I was 36 at the time) was lost to miscarriage. I went into a severely deep depression that nearly ended me. I heard this song for the first time six months later and 100% believe it was the turning point that allowed me to crawl out of that hole. I now have an entire sleeve tattoo on my left arm with the lyrics that gave me strength, a huge black bird, and the most beautiful and perfect tattoo of the ultrasound picture we received after the first and only ultrasound. This song saved my life and gave me the hope that one day I too will fly and see my baby again. I truly hope these guys know how much their music has helped some people.
This song makes me cry every time. I grew up in an extremely broken home, from 4 years old my alcoholic pill popping mom used me as a pawn against my dad until I was 10 when my dad finally got full custody of me then when I was 17 in 2003 I had my life taken away from me when my best friend pushed me out the bed of a truck going between 50 and 70 MPH, fast forward 20 years and i've had 30 brain/head surgeries. I feel broken but Alter Bridge has helped me cross so many bridges in my life since i discovered them in 2004
Holy hell how did I miss this by 4 days 🤦♂️ Myles has a song in his solo project "Love Can Only Heal", I'm sure it'll hit you just as hard as this one, here's the link: th-cam.com/video/AuRZ6oFzQm4/w-d-xo.html
Just pick any song from the new Pawns and Kings album!
All great!!!🙏👏🥰😈🤘
First off, I just want to say congratulations on kicking heroin! I know you don't know me, but I'm proud of you!
Second, next Tuesday I'm getting a tattoo in memory of my 3 year old son who died of cancer and I'm basing it on the line, "Someday I too will fly and find you again." I can't wait!
I feel like Creed would’ve been more respected had it not been for Scott’s antics. Granted he was struggling with alcoholism and drug addiction, it still wasn’t an excuse for him acting like a complete ass. I think that’s why they got a bad rap. From what I’ve heard, Scott is clean and getting his like back on track. But alter bridge let’s the members talents really shine through when they weren’t really able to do with Creed.
You’re an awesome person, great vids! You should listen to cry of Achilles by them, it gives me like a different energy, maybe you could relate? Love the vid
Songs you should listen to by alter bridge
My champion
Isolation
Metallingus
Ghosts of days gone by
Words darker then their wings
Down to my last
Alterbridge the supergroup very very awesome band🤟👏
The song from Celebrity Rehab is called Watch Over You…
Congratulations on being clean I’m coming up on 21 yrs off the needle
Nice reaction Jen!If you like songs with a lot of back-to-back solos,you should definetely listen to Fortress by Alter Bridge,an absolute banger of a song!

I'm so glad you watched this... I'm so glad I watched you watch this.
Mark is a beast. His band Tremonti is amazing, you really should check it 😉
The static of this cruel world.. cause some birds to fly.. looong before they've seen their day
It's amazing that I just learned Mark never used a guitar pick while playing clean
This is a terrible live version....the Royal Albert Hall version with the orchestra is so much better
great reaction. 1 tip: you might want to put your mic volume up a bit on next vid cause its alot lower then the song.
Myles does a great job with Slash too :)
You really need to do Shinedown's Unity. I believe that would hit you where you need it to
It is not Creed minus Scott. There are only two members from Creed.
Dedicated to my pops. RIP old fella...
Plz listen to wonderful life live by alter bridge in Wembley
you should react to disturbed-a reason to fight
personally prefer the recorded version myself
Let's not forget that Myles also sings for Slash.
Words Darker Than Their wings from Royal Albert Hall with the Parallax Orchestra. You will get to hear Mark Tremonti's voice cause he does 1/2 the vocals in this song. It'll blow you away. You gotta do it, you won't regret it.
She's already done it
Believe by Brooks & Dunn one box tissue required
ALTER BRIDGE IS NOT CREED THEYRE 10000x BETTERRR
Jen I would love to meet you and just give you a hug!
You got out of a very dark place, you are a great woman.
With your background, check out "Watch over You". He wrote it about someone who battled addiction but never won the battle. The acoustic version is my favorite.
I thought 'Watch Over You' was about a broken relationship
Fortress is great!! Or the last hero
Those solos have won as the new best solo of all time!
Thanks for sharing your emotions and positive outlook with us!! I feel you!
Wait till you hear the new album! The new song Fable of the Silent Son is being compared with Blackbird!🤯🥰😈🤘
The Best solo guitar ever
