@@SomeGuy-fn7in More people need to hear his solo Tremonti band. It rocks even harder than AB. He's been one of my top fav. guitarists since the Creed days. And his playing, and singing, have only gotten better with time. I honestly prefer his vocals over even Miles'.
@@Hollywood6IX great! It was in 2005, so I was 16, hehe. Their first album had just come out and I didn't know them that well. Was very impressed by Myles' singing and Marks shredding, been a fan ever since.
I cannot express my jealousy right now, hahaha! I bet it was amazing! I live in a part of the US where they hardly ever come near with any concerts, but one of these days I'll get to one.
@@timenkraak01 they are AMAZING live and you're right.... Myles voice and their live performance is what got me hooked. Saw them 3 times now! Was going to be 4 but may of 2020 🤦🏽♂️
For some reason, most reactors don't even seem to notice that insane sustained note. I think, because it just fits so perfectly with everything else in the mix but it's so impressive.
The best hard rock band in the world. The best rock singer in the world. Also considered one of the finest guitar solos ever created. Just a masterpiece of a rock song.
It's nitpicking, but they are legit a metal band, not merely hard rock. Most of their riffs are heavy and rife with palm-muting. Chunky, crunchy, beautiful stuff.
Wow, crazy you post this song today. This very day, in 2018, we buried a good friend of mine after he took his own life. During the funeral, another friend of mine read out part of the lyrics of this song as a part of the eulogy. Hits right in the feels. I don’t think they’ve ever written a bad song, every one is incredible.
"Some day I too will fly , And find you again" The lyrics in this song is beautiful

The band I would qualify as Hard Rock/Metal. The story of this song is that it was written for a friend of the singer Myles Kennedy who sold him his first guitar when he started and was a very good friend for a long time until he died from cancer. This song is dedicated to him. You should see them performing this son in Wembley live. There, Myles explains the story and the performance is amazing, a lot of emotion put into it.
Anastasia by Slash featuring Myles Kennedy and the Conspirators Live is AMAZING! Slash’s guitar solo is unbelievable! Check it out 😁 Myles Kennedy has one of the most beautiful voices I’ve ever heard. That range😳
This song is simply a masterpiece man. A work of art. I listen to a lot of black metal , but I still love artists like alter bridge, three days Grace , breaking Benjamin.
Words Darker Than Their Wings (the Royal Albert Hall version specifically) Before Tomorrow Cones Find the Real Pay No Mind Zero Never Born to Follow Never Say Die Open Your Eyes Isolation Honestly, their entire catalogue....
This band is a continuation of Creed basically. When Scott Stapp left Creed, the remaining members recruited Myles Kennedy and formed Alterbridge. Also, if you've ever seen the movie "Rockstar" Myles plays the kid at the end that Mark Wahlberg pulls onstage to sing
Agreed, if you check thei first record, one day remains, Windup was still pushing for them to sound like Creed, as half their songs kinda did on the first release. Blackbird is the first record where they were really Alter bridge really showing the difference from their creed days. I love Creed, have their records, but AB is on a differentel level.
@Will G1986 Yes! YES! The song writing is far superior. I havent listen to their latest release. I have already bought the record, but have not opened it yet. Waiting for the vibe to be adecuate :p
@@panchoperfulcro8708 Agreed. Regardless of the memes Creed was a great band. But Alter Bridge really showcases their talent and of course Myles is Myles. They’re definitely on super group level
FINALLY!!! FINALLY!!! FINALLY!!! I am now at peace!!! Great song, great reaction!! Need more Alter Bridge reactions!! They have sooooo much great music!!
Oooo. Nice surprise! This is easily one of my favorite modern rock songs. Gorgeous stuff, amazing musicianship. And yeah, to quote the wiki: "Their music has been listed under several genres including hard rock, heavy metal, alternative metal, post-grunge, progressive metal, and alternative rock, with elements of progressive rock, thrash metal, and classic rock" As well as some more Alter Bridge, you guys should check out: Sevendust - The Wait (Live in Denver) Another one of my favorite, more emotional hard rock songs addressing death. The live version is something special. You'll see. I dunno if you checked them out before, but you'll prolly get hooked on them too. They have a similar sound, and are actually all buddies.
Alter Bridge was named after a bridge in Alter Road, Detroit MI, crossing Fox Creek. Guitarist Mark Tremonti used to live in the neighborhood when he was a kid.
Nice reaction guys. This song is widely considered to be a masterpiece. Myles Kennedy (vocalist) used 'Blackbird' as a metaphor for a person's soul after they've passed away & they're waiting to be carried away to whatever the next place is for them. The lyrics are an honorarium for an old friend of his who passed away.
Alter Bridge is in a UNIVERSE ALL BY THEMSELVES! So many of their songs are so DEEP WITH MEANING! The Lead Singer, Miles Kennedy, has an INCREDIBLE VOICE and is also in a category all by himself!
The lead guitarist is named Mark Tremonti. He was the lead guitarist for Creed, and was named the best guitarist of the year for three years in a row by guitar world magazine. He was also listed as the fourth greatest metal guitarist of all time.
Definitely in the realm of the few songs that can make me cry. It makes me think of a few people I have lost in my life while also just being a very awesome song in general from the drums to the dueling guitar solos that shred your soul.
This is the remaining members of Creed minus Scott Stapp, but with Myles Kennedy instead, who might be the best rock voice out there..Try watching sound of silence with him and Disturbed
Proof that Scott Stapp was just a tool bag and was the reason Creed sucked balls. I liked their music but couldnt stand his voice. Miles completes the chemistry of this band. Great song!
@Austin Witherspoon Its called an opinion. He literally said "might be" and you could be tone deaf from some of the singers you list. Quit being so combative because of a music opinion. Myles is regarded by alot of people as a great vocalist. If his voice doesn't do it for you fine. Say that you disagree and give your OPINION and move on with your life.
I'm sure others have already commented on it, but this song was written by the lead singer/rhythm guitarist about a good friend of his that committed suicide. He also played the first of the two solos that you heard. I know music is subjective and everyone takes different things from songs and music they hear, but for me, this is one of the most beautiful and stunning tributes for any human being that I have heard in my 43 years of life on this planet. The lyrics are well written, they're obviously dripping with meaning and earnest love and respect for his friend, and the musicianship is absolutely off the charts. Even if this genre isn't your cup of tea, I don't think anyone with a soul can listen to this and not feel some level of appreciation and respect for at least some aspect of the song. I'm a pretty tough cookie emotionally, but this song makes me well up with tears every time I hear it and I'm not distracted by something that prevents me from really listening to it. This is raw love, adoration, respect, and loss all rolled into one piece of art and it's just fucking beautiful. Someone said that we all die twice - once when our body passes and again when nobody speaks of us again. This song pretty much guarantees that his friend will live on in the second sense for as long as the meaning of this song is talked about. I'm not sure Myles could have done anything better to honor the memory of his friend.
Ohmygod you listened!!!! Thank you so much, guys! This song along with All Ends Well has helped me through so much in life. I don’t understate anything when I say that Alter Bridge has saved my life on many occasions 🤘🏽
I have seen Alter Bridge live probably closing in on roughly a dozen times now and am yet to be anything but blown away. Myles & Mark are by far one of the greatest hard rock duos in music history. If you are looking for live versions to review "Words Darker Than Their Wings" at the Royal Albert is a MUST. Otherwise you definitely have check out songs like Wayward One, Calm the Fire, Cry of Achilles or Watch Over You acoustically for Billboard.
Great reaction guys! The song was written about a friend of the lead singer, who sold him his first guitar, and passed away from Cancer. You should definitely check out my favourite from the "Cry of Achilles" it's amazing and so is their back catalogue
Awesome review gents. Thank you for giving them the respect they deserve. Listen to more there is no bad song by these guys. Yes, Genre would be Metal /alternative. The Band is just as amazing live. You want to be truly blown away by his vocals & the band as a whole listen to Words Darker Than Their Wings Live at Royal Albert Hall where they perform with an orchestra. Alter Bridge is an actual Bridge in Detroit where Mark is from originally. Band is Myles Kennedy Vocals/guitar, Mark Tremonti guitar/vocals, Brian Marshall Bass & Scott Phillips Drums. Enjoy! 🤘
After Tool this is my favorite band . Gotta listen to Metalingus next! Lead singer Myles Kennedy sings for Slash also! You should listen to Automatic Overdrive from Slash's Band. Guitarist Mark Tremonti has a solo band too! Amazing stuff all around!
Choosing between Alter Bridge and Tool is hard for me. Both are on another level. Basically just comes down to whatever I feel like listening to at the time haha. Their discographies are soooo complete
No dude you don’t ever hear that shit on the radio. Also one of the best bands live you could ever see they’re fucking phenomenal. The song was written as I’m sure you probably know by now for a friend of his that went through a bad cancer vault and died and the black bird is flying again is his friends soul… nothing the fuck to do with butt rock there
If you ever get around to it, check out a band called "Ra" (as in the Egyptian sun god) and their song "Do You Call My Name" (they have plenty of other amzing songs, but its accepted that's there most popular) They weren't ever super big because they basically got screwed over by the record label, but they have been making great albums since there inception. Great musicians, and great singer. Its honstly sad that they never became super popular.
Myles Kennedy is probably the best singer/songwriter in music. Period. Please do yourselves a favor and check out these two songs, "Cry of Achillies" and "Watch Over You" (live at Billboard). 2nd one is so freaking beautiful. Welcome to the most underrated band in the music industry!
Tom Grove not true. Myles actually had most of Watch Over You written before they decided to use it. Their A&R guy at that time (they were on Universal for the Blackbird album) wanted a song like that from them to complete the album. Myles has it mostly written, I think from pre-Alter Bridge days, but it needed a bridge section. Mark had one that fit. They talk about it in a video that’s here on TH-cam about the making of the album.
Omg guys I am so excited for this 😁😁😁. I predict you are gonna fuckin love this!!! I watch your Tool Tuesday reactions every Wednesday morning here in Sydney, and it is great to see you guys feel this song for the first time.... prog rock in all it's guises is fucking awesome! Thanks 😁💝
Myles Kennedy(Lead singer) is a phenomenal singer, as well as guitarist Mark Tremonti(Back up Vocals and guitarist shredding solos), are the perfect duo...Mark has his own band called Tremonti, which is AMAZING!
You definitely need to check out more Alter Bridge, even live. They kill it instrumentals and Myles Kennedy always kills the vocals. I've had the pleasure of seeing them 3 times, live.
i loved this song since it was released, but the true meaning came to me once my grandmother passed after a long fight against cancer, she practically raised me, so after she passed away this song has been my life and soul.
Great reaction guys. Thanks. Alter Bridge are one of the best bands around today. So many great songs in their catalogue...try Fortess, This side of fate, cry of archillies, The Last Hero, calm the fire.... the list is endless
Alter Bridge has a incredible catalog definently recommend listening to more of them. Losing Patience The End Is Here Buried Alive Broken Wings Shed My Skin One By One Before Tommorow Comes and and a lot more
Thankyou for reacting to my favourite band. To me Myles is one of THE great rock vocalists of all time right up their with Chris Cornell, Jeff Buckley, Eddie Vedder. Although Mark Tremonti is the guitar legend, Myles guitar style just speaks to me, it has so much emotion and subtlety, kind of like a blues player.
The lead singer is Myles Kennedy. He has a four octave vocal range, and is one of the if not the most gifted artists alive today, and he is also a hell of a talented guitarist. Even Slash said that he learned a fair bit from Myles. (see his solo project, Mayfield Four, and Slash ft. Myles Kennedy and the Conspirators) The lead guitarist is Mark Tremonti. Absolute beast of a guitarist. Definitely one of the best out there. And he can sing really well too! He has a solo project called Tremonti. You guys have stumbled upon a gold mine with Alter Bridge! Hope there are more reactions to their material!
Tremonti is the king of performing a solo that fits the song beautifully but can still be powerful in it's own right. You could literally react to any AB song and I'd tune in to watch it. "Metalingus" was pretty much their first major hit and you'd probably recognize the song. Keep AB coming!!
Myles Kennedy wrote this song about a friend of his that passed away due to addiction. Probably one of my favorite songs of theirs is the title track of their one day remains album, it’s a go to song when I’m having a difficult time with my mental health. Interesting facts about alter bridge; the members of alter bridge are composed of the other three members played for creed. Mark Tremonti is originally from Detroit and lived near a bridge call the alter bridge hence the band name. He also just did an album singing Frank Sinatra covers with Sumatra’s band to raise awareness for down syndrome he also has four or five solo albums that are fucking awesome! Myles Kennedy has a four octave voice and one reason why he has such amazing breath control is because he played trumpet until he discovered guitar at 14. Also alter bridge is NOTHING like five kyles punching drywall or avenged sevenfold and they are NOT butt rock I don’t even know what that is. They are just straight hard rock.
The lead guitarist is Mark Tremonti. He has a few solo albums that you should check out, if not for a video just for yourself. I highly recommend Leave it Alone off of his album All I Was.
Hey guys not sure if you saw but one of the greatest guitarists of all time, Eddie Van Halen, passed away a couple of days ago. You guys should check out the live Eruption guitar solo from him. It's the greatest guitar solo I've ever seen
The first guitar solo is Myles Kennedy, the vocalist. The second solo is Mark Tremonti, arguably one of the great guitarists of the modern age...
Bro, honestly it's hard to argue that point, period. The dude puts so much soul and passion into his art is unreal.
@@SomeGuy-fn7in More people need to hear his solo Tremonti band. It rocks even harder than AB. He's been one of my top fav. guitarists since the Creed days. And his playing, and singing, have only gotten better with time. I honestly prefer his vocals over even Miles'.
Check solo project tremonti band
Metal hamer band
Tremonti singing and play guitar without lead
Great riff
Myles and Tremonti are both considered amongst the best musicians in rock history
I'm so glad you all finally got around to reacting to this
Not to mention they are also really good dudes and extremely well respected by their peers.
Miles lis the vocalist ever
Check out "words darker than their wings" live at the Royal Albert Hall
This definitely showcases Alter Bridges live performance talent
Arguably one of the best recorded live performances you can find.
Yes, this for sure! I requested this a few weeks ago and I'm glad they're getting around to Alter Bridge now. This is a must-listen!
That’s the one!!! 👏🙏😈🤘
Alter Bridge! My first concert ever. Myles Kennedy's voice is one of a kind.
'Metallingus' and 'Down to my last' are probably my favorites.
Oh wow, how was it
@@Hollywood6IX great! It was in 2005, so I was 16, hehe. Their first album had just come out and I didn't know them that well. Was very impressed by Myles' singing and Marks shredding, been a fan ever since.
I cannot express my jealousy right now, hahaha! I bet it was amazing! I live in a part of the US where they hardly ever come near with any concerts, but one of these days I'll get to one.
@@timenkraak01 they are AMAZING live and you're right.... Myles voice and their live performance is what got me hooked. Saw them 3 times now! Was going to be 4 but may of 2020 🤦🏽♂️
From the ashes of Creed rose the majestic pheonix that is Alter Bridge
Alter Bridge is an absolute super group
It's ALMOST as if Stapp was holding them back, yes?
Legitimately the only song that tears me up. Reminds me of my mom, who passed two years ago. Simply a masterpiece.
💔🥺❤️
Love that long note Myles holds at the end. Simply beautiful...
For some reason, most reactors don't even seem to notice that insane sustained note. I think, because it just fits so perfectly with everything else in the mix but it's so impressive.
34 seconds without a breath!!💪💪
The best hard rock band in the world. The best rock singer in the world. Also considered one of the finest guitar solos ever created. Just a masterpiece of a rock song.
It's nitpicking, but they are legit a metal band, not merely hard rock. Most of their riffs are heavy and rife with palm-muting. Chunky, crunchy, beautiful stuff.
@@Retrorevelations they toe the line between rock and metal so I consider them hard rock.
Best ever
Wow, crazy you post this song today. This very day, in 2018, we buried a good friend of mine after he took his own life. During the funeral, another friend of mine read out part of the lyrics of this song as a part of the eulogy. Hits right in the feels. I don’t think they’ve ever written a bad song, every one is incredible.
Same for me. A friend of mine also took his life in 2018, a week before christmas. I think of him everytime I hear the song too.
Oh wow, were so sorry for your loss, our condolences. That's awesome a friend read the lyrics.
Hits me hard to brother. Sorry to hear about the loss of your friend.
Hey, guys, really appreciate your reaction
Thank you for the information
@@Hollywood6IX You're welcome!
"Some day I too will fly

This song is dedicated to him. You should see them performing this son in Wembley live. There, Myles explains the story and the performance is amazing, a lot of emotion put into it.
Alter Bridge “Calm The Fire” probably the greatest intro to any rock song
Anastasia by Slash featuring Myles Kennedy and the Conspirators Live is AMAZING! Slash’s guitar solo is unbelievable! Check it out 😁 Myles Kennedy has one of the most beautiful voices I’ve ever heard. That range😳
I was going to recommend both Myles and the Conspirators and his work with Slash. Standing in the Sun is one of my favorite.
Finally! You gotta do "Words darker than their wings - Live at Royal Albert Hall" sometime. Cheers!
ABSA FRIGGIN LUTELY!!!!!!
I second that!! It was nothing short of a masterpiece!!!
that's a must
☝🏼👆🏼👆🏼👆🏼👆🏼👆🏼👆🏼👆🏼👆🏼👆🏼👆🏼
Yassss
This song is simply a masterpiece man. A work of art. I listen to a lot of black metal , but I still love artists like alter bridge, three days Grace , breaking Benjamin.
Words Darker than their Wings live at the Royal. Albert Hall, also The End is Here live from the same show! They are AMAZING live!
Alter Bridge have an incredible catalog, I hope y'all get to more!
Best rock band out there today! So glad you guys did this band. I've been on the AB train since day one.
This song is a masterpiece! They have so many more too.

You could almost throw a dart and hit a winner
The End Is Here,Losing Patience,Buried Alive,and a lot more
What pisses me off is that no one gives calm the fire the recognition that it needs
Can we put every AB song in this list?!?!
This band is a continuation of Creed basically. When Scott Stapp left Creed, the remaining members recruited Myles Kennedy and formed Alterbridge. Also, if you've ever seen the movie "Rockstar" Myles plays the kid at the end that Mark Wahlberg pulls onstage to sing
Of all the reactions to this song you're the first I've seen to even mention Creed

You're welcome. Great song
Isolation is a good one for quarantine.
Rise Today and Open Your Eyes are other favorites. And Watch Over You for sombre chill vibes.
"Slip to the void" by Alter Bridge. So many amazing songs from them.
I always get goosebumps 🙌🙌👌👌
Masterpiece 👏👏good reacts ✌️
You just stepped into mere perfection! Alter Bridge is an amazing band.. Welcome to the rabbit hole..
I have seen Alter Bridge live probably closing in on roughly a dozen times now and am yet to be anything but blown away. Myles & Mark are by far one of the greatest hard rock duos in music history.
If you are looking for live versions to review "Words Darker Than Their Wings" at the Royal Albert is a MUST.
Otherwise you definitely have check out songs like Wayward One, Calm the Fire, Cry of Achilles or Watch Over You acoustically for Billboard.
Shinedown - Monsters thats a song you all need to do for sure.
Great reaction guys!
The song was written about a friend of the lead singer, who sold him his first guitar, and passed away from Cancer.
You should definitely check out my favourite from the "Cry of Achilles" it's amazing and so is their back catalogue
Okay so we're just gonna ignore that last sustained vocal was like 30 sec?!?!
Not many people catch that, personally one of my favorite moments of the song
"Open your eyes" is the first song I ever heard from AlterBridge and still one of my favorites.
Please check out Addicted To Pain or Fortress by them, both incredible songs!
Awesome review gents. Thank you for giving them the respect they deserve. Listen to more there is no bad song by these guys. Yes, Genre would be Metal /alternative.
The Band is just as amazing live. You want to be truly blown away by his vocals & the band as a whole listen to Words Darker Than Their Wings Live at Royal Albert Hall where they perform with an orchestra.
Alter Bridge is an actual Bridge in Detroit where Mark is from originally.
Band is Myles Kennedy Vocals/guitar, Mark Tremonti guitar/vocals, Brian Marshall Bass & Scott Phillips Drums. Enjoy! 🤘
Love this! Alter Bridge got me through some rough stuff as a kid. I would love for you guys to react to more of them. Keep up the bad ass work boys!
Everyone NEEDS to agree. This is one of the GREATEST rock songs of ALL TIME!
Summary of this song describe itself in two words, A "funeral song".
After Tool this is my favorite band . Gotta listen to Metalingus next! Lead singer Myles Kennedy sings for Slash also! You should listen to Automatic Overdrive from Slash's Band. Guitarist Mark Tremonti has a solo band too! Amazing stuff all around!

If you ever get around to it, check out a band called "Ra" (as in the Egyptian sun god) and their song "Do You Call My Name" (they have plenty of other amzing songs, but its accepted that's there most popular)
They weren't ever super big because they basically got screwed over by the record label, but they have been making great albums since there inception. Great musicians, and great singer. Its honstly sad that they never became super popular.
Thanks for the suggestion! Really cool song
@@thomazpacifico5850 They have really high quality music, would definitely listen to there albums if you get the chance.

Myles Kennedy is from Spokane and they have a song “Coeur d’Alene” about the lake in Idaho
You definitely need to check out more Alter Bridge, even live. They kill it instrumentals and Myles Kennedy always kills the vocals. I've had the pleasure of seeing them 3 times, live.
This is a masterpiece. You can't listen and not be moved by it. AB is musical treasure.
i loved this song since it was released, but the true meaning came to me once my grandmother passed after a long fight against cancer, she practically raised me, so after she passed away this song has been my life and soul.
This is my favourite song. Blackbird is an emotional masterpiece
Great reaction guys. Thanks. Alter Bridge are one of the best bands around today.
So many great songs in their catalogue...try Fortess, This side of fate, cry of archillies, The Last Hero, calm the fire.... the list is endless
Alter Bridge has a incredible catalog definently recommend listening to more of them.
Losing Patience
The End Is Here
Buried Alive
Broken Wings
Shed My Skin
One By One
Before Tommorow Comes and and a lot more
Gojira Pray live from Red Rocks
Love Alter Bridge..So glad you did this! Myles Kennedy 😍
Came here for the reaction .
Stayed for the NWO shirt
Lol
I recommend 'In Loving Memory', 'Metalingus', 'Open Your Eyes', 'Shed My Skin', 'Down To My Last', and 'Before Tomorrow Comes'
Thankyou for reacting to my favourite band. To me Myles is one of THE great rock vocalists of all time right up their with Chris Cornell, Jeff Buckley, Eddie Vedder. Although Mark Tremonti is the guitar legend, Myles guitar style just speaks to me, it has so much emotion and subtlety, kind of like a blues player.
The lead singer is Myles Kennedy. He has a four octave vocal range, and is one of the if not the most gifted artists alive today, and he is also a hell of a talented guitarist. Even Slash said that he learned a fair bit from Myles. (see his solo project, Mayfield Four, and Slash ft. Myles Kennedy and the Conspirators)
The lead guitarist is Mark Tremonti. Absolute beast of a guitarist. Definitely one of the best out there. And he can sing really well too! He has a solo project called Tremonti.
You guys have stumbled upon a gold mine with Alter Bridge! Hope there are more reactions to their material!
Guys , always look for a good quality like 480p or 360, this sounds like 240,
Aren't those visual references?
@@phead80 lol yes they are
This song makes me think of Shinedown.
Saw them supporting Iron Maiden and they were awesome.
Lol
Tremonti is the king of performing a solo that fits the song beautifully but can still be powerful in it's own right. You could literally react to any AB song and I'd tune in to watch it. "Metalingus" was pretty much their first major hit and you'd probably recognize the song. Keep AB coming!!
Myles Kennedy wrote this song about a friend of his that passed away due to addiction. Probably one of my favorite songs of theirs is the title track of their one day remains album, it’s a go to song when I’m having a difficult time with my mental health. Interesting facts about alter bridge; the members of alter bridge are composed of the other three members played for creed. Mark Tremonti is originally from Detroit and lived near a bridge call the alter bridge hence the band name. He also just did an album singing Frank Sinatra covers with Sumatra’s band to raise awareness for down syndrome he also has four or five solo albums that are fucking awesome! Myles Kennedy has a four octave voice and one reason why he has such amazing breath control is because he played trumpet until he discovered guitar at 14. Also alter bridge is NOTHING like five kyles punching drywall or avenged sevenfold and they are NOT butt rock I don’t even know what that is. They are just straight hard rock.
Need to check them out live ....🤘🏼
Check out "Isolation", but they a lot of great songs
I dedicate this reaction to Eddie Van Halen!!!! RIP!!!
Never cried to a song until this……..
Definitely more Altar Bridge reactions, and Miles solo work is bad ass.
Incredible incredible song!!!
The lead guitarist is Mark Tremonti. He has a few solo albums that you should check out, if not for a video just for yourself. I highly recommend Leave it Alone off of his album All I Was.
The band is named after a real bridge in Detroit that lead guitarist Mark Tremonti grew up near.
Very cool you do “ blackbird” 👍🏻
Greetings holland
Don't miss these other songs from Alter Bridge: "Metalingus", "Cry of Achilles" and "Words Darker Than Their Wings (live at the Royal Albert Hall)"!!
Hey guys not sure if you saw but one of the greatest guitarists of all time, Eddie Van Halen, passed away a couple of days ago. You guys should check out the live Eruption guitar solo from him. It's the greatest guitar solo I've ever seen
Dude like the SMOKE! It like goes perfectly with the song. I think the CATEGORY your looking for is ALTERNATIVE ROCK.
Thank you for the video choice 😍🦅🦅🦅🦅🦅🦅🦅🎸🎸🎸
I'm German an this is one of my favorite song.
I would suggest:
Cry Of Achilles
Waters Rising
Alter Bridge Broken wings. Epic vocals on the track...
This is the masterpiece for the ages
Myles' first/"garage" band, The Mayfield Four, is worth checking out. For those obsessed with his voice.
Guitar solo is Amazing!
just want to say one thing, their is a difference between enjoying something and feeling something. Greetings from greece tt fam.
