Hey!! been watching your videos for a long time and waking up to see a Myles Kennedy interview and this reaction made my week. The interview was killer you did an amazing job!! If I can make a recommendation, you HAVE to listen to Mark Tremonti’s vocals when he sings lead. He has developed so much as a singer and this single from his last song shows that improvement. th-cam.com/video/AvO_YDC-FSQ/w-d-xo.html. Getting to hear him and Myles together is always a treat. And as a fun fact, there are videos you can find of Mark doing lead singing on alter bridge songs where Myles normally would but couldn’t because he was sick. Really awesome to hear.
You seriously need to check out Words Darker than Their Wings live at the Royal Albert Hall FT the Parallax orchestra! Healthy Myles will blow you away! (He was sick during this Blackbird Wembley performance, I always suggest doing the Amsterdam one)
You'll definitely want to react to "Alter Bridge: "Words Darker Than Their Wings" Live At The Royal Albert Hall (OFFICIAL VIDEO)". w/ FULL ORCHESTRA & rare live version of this song.
@@f.b.spruijt4785 It's a picture of Dimebag Darrell Abbott. Much respect! One of the founders and prodigy guitarist for Pantera. He was murdered in 2004 on stage by an angry pantera fan when he was performing with his then band Damageplan. Very tragic, was an idol to many guitarists. His passing was felt around the world in the music community. Widely regarded as one of the best ever. Rip
I have nothing but respect for Myles and he's probably my favorite hard rock singer from the last 15 years, but even I was impressed by his performance of that tune live. I haven't watched it lately but I think I remember Mark looking sideways when he hits THAT note near the end.
When I lost my wife after her battle with cancer, I had no idea how to express the multitude of emotions you go through both during and after. The sadness, anger and suffering are sung about to no end. Never in my life had I ever heard lyrics that so accurately conveyed even a small part of the "I hate that you are gone, but also glad you are no longer suffering" aspect of these types of journeys that so many have gone through. Eight years later and I still cry when I listen to this song, be it just a tear or two or full on blubbering moment. Top it off with the crazy vocal talent or Myles Kennedy and the word "amazing" doesn't even begin to describe it. Well done sir. Well done indeed.
It's really night and day. The Amsterdam performance is unbelievable. You hear the Wembley version and go "Man, what a great performance.". And it is. But then you listen to the Amsterdam version, and you go "Wow! Myles was on another PLANET that night!" Just extraordinary. Anytime I want to hear this live on YT, I watch the Amsterdam version. 🔥
Yeah, in the Wembley version he's quite clever how he pulls out of the really high notes but still makes it sound good. But the Amsterdam vocals are next-level.
@@eldiego68 it's probably because the Wembley version has almost 5 million views on YT, and Amsterdam has like 300k. So when reactors search for a live version, the Wembley version is first on the list. But the Amsterdam version is way better. Oh well...🤷
@@metalmark1214 yep. That's a who's who of the generation before. I also think when you get on top power/symphonic metal you step up to a different league of vocalists.
Mark Tremonti is one of my favorite, if not my favorite guitarist of all time. His riffs/chord progressions and leads are absolutely insane, even since his creed days.
A dear friend of mine lost his life a couple of months ago to COVID 19 and just when I was watching this video I realised that he was the one that introduced me to Alter Bridge. I always loved this song, but from now on it will have a complete different meaning for me. Rest in peace, my friend 😭
You just complimented Myles so much about his really expressive voice, but I have to say that you are one of the most expressive person I have ever seen, you just put a lot of thought, emotion and depth when conveying a message, it is awesome! Even your facial expressions are on a different level! I have been enjoying your content for a long time, keep them coming please! Congrats!!!
I honestly feel like Alter Bridge never got the popularity they truly deserve. Just so you know, the drummer is Scott Phillips, bassist is Brian Marshall, and of course one of the greatest guitarists in history Mark Tremonti. The 3 of them were the original members of Creed. After the split with vocalist Scott Stapp, they eventually formed Alter Bridge with Myles. I love how Mark and Myles are not only fantastic vocalists, but they also sing through their instruments. Very rare talents to find. Alter Bridge will forever be my favorite band due to their raw, natural talent. 🤘🤘
Love your excitement for one of the best bands and frontmen in rock! As a fan, it makes me proud that someone with your background appreciates the musicianship that these guys possess! Rock on AB!
I absolutely LOVE and adore her facial expressions as she experiences listening to the magnificent talent of Myles, especially considering her professional level as well. She’s just so cute and giddy (giddy-as most all of us were the first time we heard this song) live performances this good says a lot about an artist! She reminds me a lot of myself, the way I have to pause and listen to certain parts again, just to experience it again. I think I do it because I am ocd 😊 I’m subscribing to her channel. “Charismatic” is the perfect description for her- I can’t wait to watch more of her reviews and reactions. 💜
This is one of, if not The greatest rock songs released in the last 20 years. It's very well known yet wasn't ever released as a single. I've listened to it hundreds of times yet it still gives me chills
Tears. Tears every single time I hear this masterpiece. Even with pauses, analyses, and ads. I'm lucky to be alive during a time to hear this song. Fantastic analysis, TCM! Thank you so much for this - and all your videos.
I've been a Mark Tremonti fan since the Creed days, and my best friend and I played a lot of their songs in the band I was in back in high school. That best friend passed away from complications from a lifetime of drug abuse, and this song came up in my playlist on the way from the funeral, and I had to pull over and just cry. I don't know if he ever had a chance to hear it himself, as this was very soon after this album dropped, but I know he would have loved it (he was a guitarist). I shared the video to his mom after I got home, and she agreed with me that he would have loved it. One of us shares it on the anniversary of his death every year, and I heard that his daughter learned it on guitar to play in her band just last summer...
I am blessed to be from and live in his home town of Spokane, and let me tell you, if you want an emotional performance of this, that's the time to see it. As evidenced, he can easily sell out Stadiums, but when he comes home, he keeps it to a small venue that can only hold 1000 people or so. And all of his family, including the Widow of the Gentleman this song is written for are there in the balcony. Being able to see this song performed here is very intimiate, because it's as if he is singing this song to the widow.
This song is so beautiful. My little girl died 4 years ago, and we describe her as our little bird that flew away. The lyrics in this song mean so much to me. Brings a tear to my eye every time hearing it. I hold her picture tightly on her birthday and tell her I will fly away someday too and find her again 💔🐦
Only found this group, by accident, about 6 months ago. They have become my second favourite band of the groups I have discovered since watching TH-cam about a year and a half ago. First being Nightwish, my favourite of all time. I’m in my 70’s, with a bit of time on my hands and love discovering all these new artists. It’s a bit different to how it was back in the day. The internet has made all this possible because if you had to rely on the radio awesome group like these would still be unheard of here. ❤️🤘🎸🇦🇺
Glad to read that you got to find this amazing band. I mainly listen to Christian rock, so I know how you feel about not hearing some of the great music from the past or present and finding it on TH-cam or Spotify. AB is one of the non~Christian bands I still listen to, as like Creed the subjects they cover and the imagery in their songs. They could be mistaken for a Christian band. And they are also amazing. Marc is a great song writer and is one of my all time favorites on guitar.
A metal psalm for an absent, gone-forever friend, this is a cornerstone in the Alter Bridge back catalog. Love how Myles starts it with finger picking from McCartney. The heir-apparent to Jeff Buckley delivers yet again, even when under the weather, and shows off guitar chops to boot. Next up, please, "Words Darker Than Their Wings" Live At The Royal Albert Hall, where Myles links with Buckley at the end and takes the torch into the modern era.
Look into Midori (shred and very technical) playing together with Miyako (smooth and Gary Moore influenced). For the smooth style go to 9 minutes into the reaction video found by searching on "Just Another Reactor reacts to Lovebites - Break The Wall", The original video to which he reacted is unfortunately nowhere to be found. The shred part immediately precedes that.
As many others have suggested, "Words darker than their wings" live at Royal Albert Hall is probably the absolute best live performance in Myles's career
Found you via the TH-cam algorithm and immediately had to see if you covered this song. It’s such an emotional song that means a lot to me and I’m sure many others. I loved your breakdown and how much you clearly care about this. Watching someone nerd out over what they are passionate about is infectious. Keep up the great work, I’ve subscribed and will watch your other breakdowns :)
In Loving Memory is great song by them as well. It was written by Mark and it's about his mom. But Miles does a great job Conveying his meaning and emotions. You can really feel that song. It makes me cry almost every time I hear it.
I love watching YOUR facial expressions while watching these videos! Especially Alter Bridge videos as they are by far one of my favorites. Seeing you realize the same emotions I feel from their music is simply beautiful! They are in my opinion the greatest band of all time!
Why is it...that tears are running down my face...listening to your comments about his voice control. I love Alter Bridge, Myles Kennedy, Mark Tremonti and your reaction to all of the above. Music moves feelings...Love It....
Hi Elizabeth - I am so glad that your have discovered / dived into Myles and AB on your channel. I’m a big fan of both of you and it’s pure joy to see you connecting like this to the amazing vocal talents of MK. You help us understand some of the master techniques behind the magic!
I literally can't listen to this song without crying. Such a beautiful song that brings out such heavy emotions. I loved this analysis! Now onto the interview!
I will listen to ANYTHING Myles sings. He is amazingly talented, really down to earth and his music is truly life saving. Plus constantly supporting new music for AB, Slash, and his solo career, possibly the hardest working person in rock. Having seen 290 concerts, nothing beats those times I was able to spend nights stand in front of Myles or Mark playing. Their concerts are my goto place every time now. RockOnMyFriendsV
If you watch the movie "Rock Star" with Mark Walberg, Myles is the guy that takes over lead vocals at the end of the movie. Before Alter Bridge was a thing..........and the guitar player use to be lead guitar in Greed and the bass player was in Greed as well.
Miles has the timbre and range that I wish I could find to sing in my own musical projects. His natural vocal "eq" just can cut through the heavy instruments no matter what. It's amazing.
Hi Elizabeth, I loved this performance, especially when Myles paid homage to the Beatles, "Blackbird," as the intro to this song. I absolutely enjoyed the dueling guitar solos between Myles and Mark, and that arpeggio riff at the end was phenomenal. Thank you, Elizabeth!!! 💙
The music of Alterbridge got me through my divorce 10 years ago, played all the albums back and forth everyday. Such an amazingly good band. (And still there are people that give it thumps down???) Elisabeth, I love your show here on YT, the best!
Great choice. I always recommend this over the studio version. Just one of the many great ones off that show. I also love Ghost of Days Gone By. And as many have recommended the Albert Hall material. One you may really like from the early era is Shed my skin. And my all time fav In Loving Memory, either studio or live is equally awesome. I have had the pleasure of seeing them many times, and as with most great bands, they are even better live!
Really looking forward to this one! This is "my" song to a cousin/close friend who died suddenly from sepsis December 29th a few years ago at just 42 years of age. This song brings tears to my eyes every time I listen to it as it very much reminds me of him and the struggles he had in his life. I miss you Jim...
So glad you finally got to this classic. Really enjoyed your appreciation and analysis. "Words Darker than their Wings' also from Wembley would be a treat for us all......
This is one of my favorite songs of all time. I have been fortunate to see them perform it live a few times now and it is absolutely amazing every time. I was so happy to see that you reacted to it and cant wait to also watch the interview with Myles.
Ah I can't join the premiere. Bloody vacationing getting in the way :D. Such a fantastic song and Myles seems like a great person every time I see him do press of any kind. Very much looking forward to seeing this next week!
Probably their masterpiece, but they have so many good songs!!!! Myles is a vocal beast and also sings for Slash's band. Mark is one of the great guitarists of the 2000's!!!
This song is the reason why Alter Bridge is my favorite band of all time. I even have the Blackbird tattooed on my arm, this song will be played at my funeral.
I would recommend the one live in Amsterdam, Myles was sick at this concert but he still nailed it!! He's amazing!! Great reaction as always, Elizabeth 🤟🏻
I'm so glad yiu got to watch this performance live! And the interview was amazing as well! You're genuine care about the singing and the music is why I watch your channel. It's a pleasure to watch! Hope to see more alter bridge!
One of my favorite bands ever and one of the earliest that got me into rock and roll solidly. That voice and the bands stunning work has always just swept me in.
Myles is amazing, but so is the entire band!!! In 2012, Creed did a reunion tour where I worked. I rarely get starstruck, but I saw Mark Tremonti (guitarist) in the catering room at lunch. Just the two of us. I finally said, "Creed is great, but I really LOVE your other band, Alter Bridge!" He giggled and we chatted for a moment. After their show, I met Brian & Scott P. (bass & drums). All nice guys and super talented! Myles was just the change they needed. The entire 'Blackbird' album is incredible!
How much great content are we getting Friday? Myles and Myles of it! 😁 Anyway, this channel's first Alter Bridge reaction is still something that I watch to take the edge off a bad day, so I can't wait to see Elizabeth's take on what looks to be another powerhouse performance!
I absolutely LOVE the way you critique Myles' voice every time! Just like Myles, you have such passion, emotion, and moving expressions. It actually makes me appreciate and savour his singing talent even more! Keep these Myles videos coming! ❤️ Also, can I just add: I noticed your octopus sitting in the background, and whether you know this or nor, but Myles has a tattoo of an octopus on his upper right arm! 😉
Great analysis, such an in depth look at a great rock vocal. Please check out Words Darker Than Their Wings Live at Royal Albert Hall. It’s such a great performance from the entire band with a little surprise.
Got to see Alter Bridge live at a state fair several years ago and it was AMAZING. Myles live sounds almost exactly the same as Myles in studio recording an album. One of the best bands I've ever had the pleasure of seeing live.
We just released merchandise! Check out the full line-up here: thecharismaticmerch.com
Hi Elizabeth. Looking this lot later. I hope you saw Julia's Halloween video. That was so funny. Julia is Hammered right about now. 🤣

Man the amount of times I’ve seen this recommended I swear it’s the most requested reaction by now
Please do analysis on this song. Hehe
Totally agree. It's the highest point ever reached by the band
Unfortunately it gets blocked a lot by TH-cam. Ken Lavigne did a vocal coach reaction to it a few months back but it was removed.
@@psyberwyche maybe cut out some parts of the video? Hehe there are reactions to that song that have not been blocked by youtube though

In this song Myles makes his guitar cry, Mark makes his guitar scream... different versions of grief , both beautiful
Interesting interpretation but totally can hear that.
Gosh, I love how you described it! So apt!
PRS guitars 🎸 To the Front!! One day.... One day... I'll own a Paul Reed Smith fiddle!!
wow. that's a really good description.
What a song, Just Words darker than their wings at the Royal Albert Hall to go to round out the set. Make it so E!

Hopefully this sends her down the AB rabbit hole and she reviews it. 👌👌👌👌👌👌

He was sooooo sick during this performance and still killed it. God I love that man. Truly an artist, saved my life with his music.
Love this
So many people react to this version with him sick and are impressed.... I just wish they got to see a healthy version!
The only time I saw them live he was sick as well, still enjoyed them but missed out on some of his most iconic soaring high notes in some songs 😓
That explains why it seems off. I saw them in a small bar in Seattle when this album came out. He absolutely killed it.
Words Darker Than Their Wings from the Royal Albert Hall. An incredible vocal performance from Myles, it’s a must to review!
Definitely! OMG!!
That entire concert was AMAZING!!
Alter bridge and Paul Reed Smith Guitars To The Front!!.
When I lost my wife after her battle with cancer, I had no idea how to express the multitude of emotions you go through both during and after. The sadness, anger and suffering are sung about to no end. Never in my life had I ever heard lyrics that so accurately conveyed even a small part of the "I hate that you are gone, but also glad you are no longer suffering" aspect of these types of journeys that so many have gone through.

Sorry for your loss friend.
So sorry for your loss. I lost my dad recently and this song tears me up now. 😢
This is one of my favorite Rock/Metal Songs
Myles was sick during this show. I highly recommend checking out the live performance of this song in Amsterdam.

He's up there - since Cornell died it's between him and Eddie Vedder
Ronnie James Dio, Bruce Dickinson, Geoff Tate, Micheal Kiske, Rob Halford are all great.

The BEST rock vocalist alive right now.
It amazes me that more people in society don't know who he is or pay attention to him. He really is one of, if not the best vocalist today.
Fully agree brother!!🤟❤🙏🍻
Mark Tremonti is one of my favorite, if not my favorite guitarist of all time.

Plz, reaction for " words darker than Their wings"
I've always loved bands with complimentary guitars. One that is smooth and packed with emotion and another that can shred very technical passages.
Myles can shred too. Listen to the title track of the album Journey by Cosmic Dust. Those solos are insane.
@@RG049 Never said he couldn't, but that wasn't his role in this band. That part was left to Mark Tremonti

Cannot wait for this! Myles is a vocalist matched by very few.

Hi Elizabeth - I am so glad that your have discovered / dived into Myles and AB on your channel. I’m a big fan of both of you and it’s pure joy to see you connecting like this to the amazing vocal talents of MK. You help us understand some of the master techniques behind the magic!
And another to keep separate from the suggestion. One of my favorite songs by Alter Bridge. Gives me chills every time I hear it.
I love love love Alter Bridge
I literally can't listen to this song without crying. Such a beautiful song that brings out such heavy emotions.
I loved this analysis! Now onto the interview!
The chills i get everytime i listen to this song are unbelievable. I've only heard it thousands of times and yet, chills everytime!
Great comments regarding Mark's solo. I agree -- the facial expressions always add to the intensity of the solo.
Myles is right up there with my other all time favs, Dio and Tate!
Words Darker Than Their Wings from the Royal Albert Hall is an absolute must!
I will listen to ANYTHING Myles sings. He is amazingly talented, really down to earth and his music is truly life saving. Plus constantly supporting new music for AB, Slash, and his solo career, possibly the hardest working person in rock.
Having seen 290 concerts, nothing beats those times I was able to spend nights stand in front of Myles or Mark playing. Their concerts are my goto place every time now.

I will never get enough of this song. Nor enough of Myles. So happy you decided to do this one!
This is my favorite song of all time. Thanks for covering it.
If you watch the movie "Rock Star" with Mark Walberg, Myles is the guy that takes over lead vocals at the end of the movie. Before Alter Bridge was a thing..........and the guitar player use to be lead guitar in Greed and the bass player was in Greed as well.
this will be amazing. for the next video you should react to "alter bridge - words darker than their wings" its a vocal and musical MASTERPIECE
Miles has the timbre and range that I wish I could find to sing in my own musical projects. His natural vocal "eq" just can cut through the heavy instruments no matter what. It's amazing.
I was in that crowd! Such a great show, and Myles is an amazing vocalist! I'm glad you liked him ❤️
Hi Elizabeth, I loved this performance, especially when Myles paid homage to the Beatles, "Blackbird," as the intro to this song. I absolutely enjoyed the dueling guitar solos between Myles and Mark, and that arpeggio riff at the end was phenomenal. Thank you, Elizabeth!!! 💙
The guitar solos were amazing, you're right about that! Thanks for the never-ending support, Kirby! ❤
Hard rock can be deeply expressive if done right. Alter Bridge does it right! No clichés. I know they really mean it, and exactly how much. Awesome!
Wow I been waiting for this reaction for so long. Thanks lady.
Discovered Alter Bridge in 2010, looking forward to this.
Myles is a master of his craft!
Indeed he is! ❤
The music of Alterbridge got me through my divorce 10 years ago, played all the albums back and forth everyday. Such an amazingly good band. (And still there are people that give it thumps down???) Elisabeth, I love your show here on YT, the best!
Great choice. I always recommend this over the studio version. Just one of the many great ones off that show. I also love Ghost of Days Gone By. And as many have recommended the Albert Hall material. One you may really like from the early era is Shed my skin. And my all time fav In Loving Memory, either studio or live is equally awesome. I have had the pleasure of seeing them many times, and as with most great bands, they are even better live!
YES, you know how. to pick your music!!💐👍
Really looking forward to this one!
This is "my" song to a cousin/close friend who died suddenly from sepsis December 29th a few years ago at just 42 years of age. This song brings tears to my eyes every time I listen to it as it very much reminds me of him and the struggles he had in his life.
I miss you Jim...
So glad you finally got to this classic. Really enjoyed your appreciation and analysis. "Words Darker than their Wings' also from Wembley would be a treat for us all......
I was kind of waiting for you to find this song. I love the Beatles homage in the beginning. The singing and playing guitar is always impressive.
This guy has a really powerful voice what a great review!
Words Darker than Their Wings at the Royal Albert Hall. You will NOT be disappointed.
This is one of my favorite songs of all time. I have been fortunate to see them perform it live a few times now and it is absolutely amazing every time. I was so happy to see that you reacted to it and cant wait to also watch the interview with Myles.
Ah I can't join the premiere. Bloody vacationing getting in the way :D. Such a fantastic song and Myles seems like a great person every time I see him do press of any kind. Very much looking forward to seeing this next week!
I loved this album, and this song in particular. What a performance, what a reaction, Elizabeth. I plan to watch the tea time later
I really enjoyed your breakdown and your takes in this video. Thank you!
awesome,,ALTERBRIDGE is my favorite band
Today (Oct. 29th) is my birthday! So this is a great present! Thank you for this ❤
Hi Dutch29, Happy Birthday!
@@kirbys1370 Hey thanks! I'm 32; i'm old! Haha 😆
The two solos are just incredible. Pure emotion, nothing but real pain channeled through music, absolute fire.
Probably their masterpiece, but they have so many good songs!!!! Myles is a vocal beast and also sings for Slash's band. Mark is one of the great guitarists of the 2000's!!!
This song is the reason why Alter Bridge is my favorite band of all time. I even have the Blackbird tattooed on my arm, this song will be played at my funeral.
I would recommend the one live in Amsterdam, Myles was sick at this concert but he still nailed it!! He's amazing!! Great reaction as always, Elizabeth 🤟🏻
This is one of the greatest songs ever written! A true masterpiece!
I'm so glad yiu got to watch this performance live! And the interview was amazing as well! You're genuine care about the singing and the music is why I watch your channel. It's a pleasure to watch! Hope to see more alter bridge!
One of my favorite bands ever and one of the earliest that got me into rock and roll solidly. That voice and the bands stunning work has always just swept me in.
Myles is amazing, but so is the entire band!!! In 2012, Creed did a reunion tour where I worked. I rarely get starstruck, but I saw Mark Tremonti (guitarist) in the catering room at lunch. Just the two of us. I finally said, "Creed is great, but I really LOVE your other band, Alter Bridge!" He giggled and we chatted for a moment. After their show, I met Brian & Scott P. (bass & drums). All nice guys and super talented! Myles was just the change they needed. The entire 'Blackbird' album is incredible!
How much great content are we getting Friday? Myles and Myles of it! 😁 Anyway, this channel's first Alter Bridge reaction is still something that I watch to take the edge off a bad day, so I can't wait to see Elizabeth's take on what looks to be another powerhouse performance!
Ha, Myles & Myles... good one. Thank you for your endless support! ❤
@@TheCharismaticVoice ❤️ The Court of The Charismatic Voice should have a proper jester, should it not? And thank you for your amazing content!
I absolutely LOVE the way you critique Myles' voice every time! Just like Myles, you have such passion, emotion, and moving expressions. It actually makes me appreciate and savour his singing talent even more! Keep these Myles videos coming! ❤️ Also, can I just add: I noticed your octopus sitting in the background, and whether you know this or nor, but Myles has a tattoo of an octopus on his upper right arm! 😉
Oh, missed that. Dang it. I'll try to ask him next time. Thank you for the compliments! ❤
@@TheCharismaticVoice ❤️
Great analysis, such an in depth look at a great rock vocal. Please check out Words Darker Than Their Wings Live at Royal Albert Hall. It’s such a great performance from the entire band with a little surprise.
Great start of the weekend. Wake up with this, then have tea or coffee with Myles.
Got to see Alter Bridge live at a state fair several years ago and it was AMAZING. Myles live sounds almost exactly the same as Myles in studio recording an album. One of the best bands I've ever had the pleasure of seeing live.
