It's my favourite song of all time and most of the people consider Blackbird the new Stairway To Heaven, now you know why, everything is perfect with this song and it's super emotional
Awesome!! You really need to checkout more of Alter Bridge, they're the most underrated band ever. A little back story on them the Guitarist Mark Tremonti, Bass player Brian Marshall, and the drummer Scott Phillips are all from the grammy winning band Creed that were huge in the 90's and early 2000's. When they broke up in 2004 They teamed up with Singer Myles Kennedy and formed Alter Bridge and have been going strong ever since. They're set to release their 6th album next year! I kid you not, out of their 5 albums they have, I have not heard a sing bad song. You should really check out Words Darker than their Wings by Alter Bridge. Its written about a conversation between the lead singer Myles Kennedy and the lead guitarist Mark Tremonti were having about faith. Myles was having a hard time after his dad passed away and was having alot of questions and Mark is basically saying dont lose faith maybe there is something out there! They even sing back and fourth like they're having the conversation. It's an amazing song! And the note Myles hits at the end is amazing! If you wanna check Words Darker than their Wings out live you should! They just released the video of their concert at the Royal Albert Hall ft Parallax Orchestra amazing!
Yeah, I've really been enjoying Alter Bridge so far! I actually did post a reaction to that live performance of Words Darker than their Wings, but it's blocked in some countries because of copyright :/ But I agree, that performance was amazing!
I've found that EVERYONE who's been turned on to this song immediately recognizes it's incredible imagery and heart-felt sorrow felt upon the painful loss of a loved one. Truly, it hits me hard every time I hear it. Thank you for the thoughtful review. ❤
Nice reaction. Fun fact: the first solo was played by Myles and the second by lead guitarist Mark Tremonti. Alter Bridge is such an amazing, inspirational and uplifting band. I highly recommend ALL of their music.
cool! I'm learning more about this band every day. And don't worry, I've got more Alter Bridge videos coming out at some point. Gotten quite a few recommendations for other songs by them.
Thank you for mention me in the video! Jaja... Blackbird is a masterpiece, and if you look at another TH-camrs reactions, all end up with goosebumps and even with tears... In my opinion, the best Alter Bridge song, but they don't have bad song either. My next recomendation is Fortress or Cry Of Achilles... PD: My first and last names are Portuguese, but i'm from Valdivia, Chile, South America... So, consider yourself an International TH-camr jajaja...
Greetings from all the way up here in Canada! And yeah, someone else also mentioned Fortress, maybe I'll do that one at some point. Thanks for your comments and support, they're much appreciated!
My favorite song! Ever! It speaks to my heart like no other can at the lose of three close family members in less than a year apart from each other. This song is lyrically, instrumentally and vocally an absolute masterpiece! Btw, I really appreciate your commentary and thoughts on this song. Thank you!😊
Earned a sub with this reaction. I love how you really get into the lyrics and talk about how much emotion that went into it. Aside from being an amazing song instrumentally, but just a beautiful song as a whole. That’s to reason why this is my all time favorite song. They have so many more like this. Great reaction though man.
Juniio, no problem at all. They have so many great songs to choose from. Can’t wait for another reaction. If I can offer a suggestion I would say go with Cry of Achilles or Metallingus next.
Thanks for the great reaction! Alter Bridge has quickly become one of my favorite bands, with Blackbird being my favorite song I've heard in my lifetime. Looking forward to more of your reactions! I suggest you listen to "Shed My Skin" from their first album - it's another great song. I think you'll like it!
This is just a masterpiece..... This sort of songs are created once in a century.... This is just creativity at its peak.... React to "Broken Wings" by alter bridge that's epic as well
@@JuniioMusic Reason is they aren't marketing themselves as all the other bands with radio playlists and all that shit... They like what they do, they do it damn good and they do it with meaning. Fact is, they fill arenas.. But nobody talks about that.. Only the AB nation. Also, as I interpret the solo is I imagine myles standing over the grave and saying his last goodbye to his friend, that's myles solo, and then he turns around at the people standing around (the world) that did nothing and shouting at them, that's mark's solo and then at the end is the part where he just walks away in sadness filling his heart..
I'm surprised you didn't have more to say about the duel guitar solo. It is considered as one of the best solos of all time (up there with Comfortably Numb and Stairway to Heaven) by the fan-base (AB has a bit of a cult following :D). It also managed to win a competition run by Guitar magazine as the conclusive best solo of all time. Also, Myles is the most talented singer since Freddie Mercury himself.
Nice reaction, definitely can see your channel growing quick! May I request you do Dream Theater? On The Backs Of Angels is a good introduction to the band!
Glad you enjoyed the vid man! And yeah, I'll add Dream Theatre to the list, I've heard a lot about them but haven't ever really taken the time to listen. Thanks for the suggestion.

Wow that's awesome! I had no idea the history or sentiment behind this song at all, it's cool to see so many people that love it.
Agreed

So true! You can't go wrong with any aB songs! They are amazing down to earth musicians!
The friend that Myles wrote this song for actually sold him his first guitar. Long time friends.

A few people have been asking for Cry of Achilles, I'll have to do that one soon!

Alter Bridge is not so much popular in USA, but there's a lot of fans in europe and Brazil, where I am from.
ah Brazil, super cool! Yeah, even up here in Canada I don't really hear people talking about them.

I really like your reaction style, nice to see some intelligence instead of overhyping bullshit. Keep it up my man.
Why thank you, glad you're enjoying the videos! And don't worry, I'll just keep doing me, overhyping stuff requires way too much energy.

Great comments, nice job, the first time I listened to Blackbird I was in my car, my first reaction was wtf, this is perfection.
In my poinon the 2 greatest Guitar solos of all time the 1st solo played by Myles & the 2nd by Mark.
Myles can sing the damn phone book and it would be a classic.
Nice reaction, definitely can see your channel growing quick! May I request you do Dream Theater? On The Backs Of Angels is a good introduction to the band!
Glad you enjoyed the vid man! And yeah, I'll add Dream Theatre to the list, I've heard a lot about them but haven't ever really taken the time to listen. Thanks for the suggestion.
