I'm a guitarist ... the emotional phrasing medium low tone of Myles Kennedy opposed to the Tremonti style ( shredding and wha-wha and consequent medium-high tone) create a wonderful mix, two roads that lead to the same place..... Ciao from Italy.
His friend passed away from Cancer, and this song, is just amazing, from the emotion through the music, and the composition of the music, it is just so well done. This band I fell in love with when I saw them live, I highly recommend seeing them live if you can!
@@VinAndSori the process of writing it was actually started before he passed, hence why some of the lyrics came out in present tense. The friend did pass before it was completed.
And to everyone reading this comment if you are dealing with depression do not take your own life. Try to see it from another perspective that there is still so much to live for. It might not be today or tomorrow when everything gets better but in time it will. And I hope these channels bring all of the fans of music together because it's a way we can all connect with each other.
Man so glad we could help you through a tough week!! I’ve had blackbird on my mind since u first asked...kinda felt like God wanted us to do it for u. Grace and peace man! Totally with you on ppl not giving up! Thanks for sticking with us! You r important! -Sori🤟🏻
+VinAnd Sori Thanks a million you guys. I think you guys will somehow react to some of the best bands. Cause most of the songs people already suggested are actually some of my favorites. Can't wait till someone suggests "Killswitch Engage"
To have such a strong voice and play the guitar just as strong is a testament to his talent. Myles could play lead in almost any band. The combination of him and Mark rivals James and Kirk.
@@VinAndSori I never understood why you stopped reacting to Alter Bridge guys....it really seemed that you liked what you heard so why didn't you check out anything else from them? They are honestly such a great band
Thank you guys so much!!! Alter Bridge is probably the most under rated band of all time! With the lead guitarist Mark Tremonti, the bass player Brian Marshall and Drummer Scott Phillips immediately puts a thumbs down on them even though they're nothing like Creed. You guys should really check out more of them, literally all songs are amazing. Please check out Words Darker Than Their Wings, it's based on a conversation the lead singer Myles Kennedy wrote this song and Mark Tremonti were having about faith and Marks like don't lose faith maybe there is something out there, cause Myles was having a lot of questions after his dad passed. Mark and Myles even sing back and fourth to each other in the song, it's amazing please check it out! Thanks guys God Bless!
Fun fact: Myles Kennedy has been Slash's go-to singer for his side projects. The two are a powerhouse combo, you should look up some of the songs they've done together
VinAnd Sori you don't gotta put up a video for it but definitely listen to it in your own time. The mixing is phenomenal and captures so much of the emotion and pain
Tragic Beauty. Beautiful! Alterbridge is underated here in the states, but big overseas. Myles has one of the best voices in rock. Love all the musicians
I am happy that I found a reaction that the reactors really understood the musicianship. I always thought the solo Myles play is the sadness after loosing the person he loves, the longing, the pain. And mark’s solo is the anger towards god, world, fate or whatever for taking that person too soon. A beautiful song man and they say that this is the stairway to heaven of our generation but I am going to say it, this is actually better... SUE ME
So glad you posted this! Alter Bridge is an amazing band and this is one of their best songs. If you ever want to hear another side of them check out Cry of Achilles.
As a die hard AB fan, its so exciting to see their music pop up among reaction videos. Blackbird is truly a modern masterpiece and is undoubtedly one of the best rock songs in a few decades. Its incredible. but thats not it from AB! Their entire discography is incredible. I hope you guys check out way more from them. Start from their first album! pce and love
OMG i'm new on this channel and i'm amazed! This is the first reaction to alter bridge that i've ever seen. AMAZING! You definitely should react to "in loving memory" by this guys. Tremonti wrote that song when his mother passed away. Totally heartbreaking. Greetings from México! ♥♥♥
I found Alter Bridge just over a year ago, through watching Myles perform "Sound of Silence" with Disturbed and Alter Bridge quickly became my favorite band. I'm blown away that I hadn't heard of them prior. Anyway, this song hits me hard, and part of the song I dedicated in a memorial to my brother who died in 2020, well before his time. Not sure if you've done "Cry of Achilles" yet. It's a masterpiece. Or "Calm the Fire", or "Fortress". All masterpieces.
For those who don't know, Myles Kennedy got his start, with his hometown band The Mayfield Four. They made a couple albums, Second Skin is definitely worth a listen.
Awesome comments on this masterpiece by Ater Bridge. Music truly is a gift! You both combine to put a song into words and give your collective opinions . Very impressed! Subscribed!!
Myles friend that passed was a huge Beatles fan so that’s why the intro is Mcartneys blackbird. Plus the blackbird is considered a symbol of death coming for you. It’s one of the most beautifully written songs as far as the music telling the story as much as the lyric. One of my favorite bands ever!!
Thank you so much for this. Such an amazing song from the best Rock band out there today! Although I wouldn't do live performances without doing the studio recordings first since live performances are almost never the best recording versions. Give it a listen and see if you like it even more! Great reaction once again.
Especially in such emotional songs I prefer the live versions for their unfiltered performance, I don't care about minor glitches for the the raw personality of the song.
Myles is one of a kind of a vocalist... He just uses his voice to express his sadness and frustration of losing a dear friend.... His singing literally made me cry man... I had to admit
You said something I think I may have subconsciously realized before but never heard out loud, and it’s so perfectly correct.... music and concerts give people an outlet where it’s OKAY to acknowledge and feel your pain with others, a place where you’re not alone and you don’t have to pretend or keep your brave face on... right on the money! This is the first video of your I’ve watched... subscribing now
I was in the front row of the audience for the concert and it was one of the best I've ever been to. Myles Kennedy and Mark Tremonti are incredible... And the rest of the band as well!! Great reaction and appreciation for the lyrics!
This band is Creed with a new vocalist and I’m glad people appreciate them because they absolutely deserve it. I’m a fan of Creed too and don’t understand all the hate that they got.
This band is NOT Creed. Creed is no more. This is AB, a new creation (2004), and uniquely their own Myles, Mark, Brian, and Scott. They are AMAZING! I liked Creed, but love AB…no comparison.
This is a true and honest reaction if I’ve ever seen one.. 2 people actually listening, reacting while listening, and speaking after. Much respect, I enjoyed this for sure! subscribing!
The solo perfectly fits the song Myles played his melodic part then mark finished the crescendo up perfectly with a slightly sped up but still melodic ending.
I enjoyed Creed while they were still held together, but the breaking of the band brought us Alter Bridge. Mark Tremonti is a great guitarist, and drummer Scott Phillips. Myles Kennedy has an unmistakable voice that is come to enjoy. Mark Tremonti is now also working on some solo work. You two keep rocking 🤘🏼
Thank you, thank you, thank you....this is the first review (after seeing many) that finally made sense. You guys got ir. (btw the guitarist Tremonti is a very spiritual religious person, so the breese, the wind was on purpose. Their lyrics are extremely deep with lots of symbolic phrases. I saw AB 3 times, can't wait to see them again. AB is a true live band. IN the studio it just does not reach the level of how they perform live. can tell you it is such an embracing feeling to share pain together, with all those strangers. It lifts people up and something magical happens there. We are all the same and we all suffered losses and it is healing to sing this song with Myles and the public. Listening and seeing AB live is a spiritual happening. Thank you again sweeties...you are such a nice and loving couple. Wish you the best
Very well put about the solo. This is why I like the blues because of the expression the guitarist can convey through the instrument. Great review as always! Love the conversation.
Will Gassett Lol yes sir! Trying my hardest to get them introduced to more people! It's unfortunate that pretty much being made up of all Creed members gives people a bad taste in their mouth for them, when they are nothing like them at all lol Alter Bridge should be paying me for all this press I'm giving them lol
Your video is on my recommendation list. I watch a lot of rock/metal reactions. You guys have great commentary and intelligent insight to these songs. Keep it going I'm here for it.
I've watched a lot of reaction videos I guess I'm bored and don't have a life but what I saw you guys face on this video it resonated with me don't stop!
This was the song that made me absolutely fall in love with everything that AB is. A masterpiece in all its glory. Was very lucky to watch these guys live 3 times in London, with the last one being at the Royal Albert Hall with the Parallax Orchestra. They are nothing short of perfection live! They definitely need more love and appreciation. Thanks for the awesome review. You wouldn't go amiss with any of their other songs either.
When you're at a metal show, as crazy as they can be, everyone around you becomes immediately your brother, your friend...someone who deserves respect for who they are, because they vibrate at the same levels as yourself, and everyone have a really good time TOGETHER...it's very hard to describe, but it's awesome :D I love your channel! I love how you can bring your beliefs (often seen as opposite and even rival to metal music) to interpret this music in such a respectful and insightful way...it's always interesting to hear you :D I would be friends with you in an instant! :P Regards from the soooo distant country of Chile :) keep rocking! lml
Hey ! love your comments about how the solo fits so well and the emotion it pours out and the pain you feel while listening. If you want to hear a solo that makes you feel the persons pain you should listen to The Best of Times by Dream Theater. The solo in that song is the most emotional guitar solo in my opinion.
Yes!!! And and not only that it's 30000 people that all are in pain but have to keep going, but in that moment it's 30000 people that are in pain and can relate to each other. Their pain is similar but different at the same time, they all have different lives and different situations but nevertheless they understand each other and come together in that moment to just feel together... I love this song... you're reaction was awesome, you're so cool... thank you (:
FYI, Mark Tremonti (guitar), Brian Marshall (bass) and Scott Phillips (drums) were Creed, along with vocalist Scott Stapp, but they left to form Alter Bridge with Myles Kennedy (vocals/guitar)
"the beauty of pain" so perfect, Sori. This reminds me a book about the firsts blues players named "The pain created to heal pain" and we know Rock is Blue's son. Well, this whole song is all about express feelings thru music, not about virtuosity. Alter Bridge is a metal band with real poetry. Tremonti is a hell of a player because he was never up to competition, he feels and plays and we can feel it too.
This is a great reaction, and I was thankful for the things you had to say after the video; which in reaction videos often is NOT the case. For me, being on the spectrum, I appreciated the depth of language introspection which actually gave a bit more depth of meaning to one of my favorite songs.
Maybe this was suggested already, but if you want an equally emotional performance by Alter Bridge, react to the live performance of In Loving Memory. The lead guitarist wrote it for his mother who he lost when he was just a kid. That would be an amazing reaction to watch guys. I also lost my mother very young, and it was played at her funeral. Much love guys. God bless
Great reaction. It's refreshing to see a reaction that is actually insightful and has good commentary. There's not many that are doing it this way and I personally try to stay away from those. Keep it up.
after listening to your review of the song i think you guys would really enjoy comfortably numb by pink floyd. the solos in that song comes straight from the soul. its beautiful
If you liked the crowd reaction/interaction in this one, you should check out Open Your Eyes live from Amsterdam (by Alter Bridge, of course). The bridge section is just amazing. It gives me chills every time I watch it. I was actually fortunate enough to be a part of it when they came round my way on tour :D
Thanks so much for your words and pointing me here. This video wasn't loading when I looked. Might not have been up yet. The moment I heard this song my friend Mike popped in my mind. He had Muscular Dystrophy and died at 23. Doctors gave him til 17, so he won. That's why I wear the bridge on my forearm with a winged skull (his favorite band was Avenged, lol). Thank you for doing this song, it's a treasure. Alter Bridge is a treasure.
I think Blackbird is just a play on words as a reference to the Beatles song Blackbird he played in the intro of the song, although both are likely using it for a particular reason.
Can you imagine how hard this song must have been for Myles to play the first time. I can't even imagine. I totally get why he wouldn't want to play it anymore if he chose not to. Very emotional song. Would love to see what Myles Kennedy has to say about this reaction. Great video.
I love this song .. It's my all-time favorite, such a masterpiece. Alter Bridge, Myles and Mark's solo projects doesn't get the love and respect they deserve, they are SO underrated! With that said, I must say that Myles' effort on vocals on "blackbird" on "live in Amsterdam" is much better, even though this also is a great version! Just want people to hear the best, from the best!
Really nice video guys. Glad to know that some people still love music and not some bunch of electronic sounds with no lyrics and no message at all. Cheers!!!
Hey guys, love Alter Bridge. Seen them twice have the AB that's on the drum kit as a tattoo, Alter Bridge are just Creed with a different lead vocalist but all the lyrics are from the heart and soul not a bad song out of all 5 albums and 3 live CD'S and DVD's
Alter Bridge is pretty much Creed with Myles as vocalist. Myles is a beast! Knowing he was the "Thor" at the end of Rockstar is freaking hilarious, but he has has a powerful voice for a long time! BTW, he was sick during this concert, so he is using a large amount of head voice, but still sounds great!
The guy you said was in creed was Mark Tremonti. In fact Alter Bridge is creed just with a different lead singer. Myles instead of Scott. Also the first time I saw Myles and his powerful, soulful voice was in the movie Rock Star with Mark Wahlberg. He is the one that toward the end Wahlberg pulled out of the crowd to replace him. Love this band and everything they do. All of their solos are so full of emotion and add so much to the song. And the Blackbird is his friend that died too young.

This is Alter Bridge’s “Stairway to Heaven” just a beautiful rock song for a modern generation.
Wow. Same feeling here.
Myles Kennedy & Mark Tremonti are a lethal combination. Such a beautiful and powerful song that everyone can relate to..
Omg yes they are xx
you are forgetting drum and base. They are making the band too and are really gifted musicians. Sad they are forgotten a lot.
My friend who I shared a love of good Rock is gone now but this goes out to him. Wish he was here to enjoy it with me!
Myles Kennedy is 1 of the greatest vocalists ever imo.....
and underrated guitarists
Agreed.
Agreed
Damm right man
As well as one of the most unappreciated singers by the music industry
Words Darker than their Wings Live with Parallax Orchestra from Albert Hall. EPIC!
Agreed.
I third it.
I am so amazed by that performance.! It is a wonderful gift
fourth
I'm a guitarist ... the emotional phrasing medium low tone of Myles Kennedy opposed to the Tremonti style ( shredding and wha-wha and consequent medium-high tone) create a wonderful mix, two roads that lead to the same place..... Ciao from Italy.
His friend passed away from Cancer, and this song, is just amazing, from the emotion through the music, and the composition of the music, it is just so well done. This band I fell in love with when I saw them live, I highly recommend seeing them live if you can!

Already happened !
Man the only reason that kept me alive was that I thought my mom is gonna be sad when I'm gone. Literally the only reason I didn't kill myself
To have such a strong voice and play the guitar just as strong is a testament to his talent. Myles could play lead in almost any band. The combination of him and Mark rivals James and Kirk.
No talent, just pure hard work.
Wow never been mentioned in a video before.
You deserve it !!
Gratz Julio and great choice!!!
Great song choice 👍
Thanks Julio!
@@VinAndSori I never understood why you stopped reacting to Alter Bridge guys....it really seemed that you liked what you heard so why didn't you check out anything else from them? They are honestly such a great band
Nice reaction for one of the most underrated bands out there.
I agree, I’ve never heard of them until the channel started
@@VinAndSori but death is not the problem... death is often the (only) solution... and the devil created the love... sooner or later it ever hurts...

It was a deep song for sure !!!
Your requests are on the list my man!! -Vin
Will Gassett I'm Christian Catholic and I love them too lol
Legit!
Broken Wings also,I agree with you about this combo of players.AMAZING BAND
Fun fact: Myles Kennedy has been Slash's go-to singer for his side projects. The two are a powerhouse combo, you should look up some of the songs they've done together
Y'all gotta listen to the studio version its a masterpiece!
So we’ve heard
VinAnd Sori you don't gotta put up a video for it but definitely listen to it in your own time. The mixing is phenomenal and captures so much of the emotion and pain
We’ll do it for sure
This is just az good bro if not beta..com on!!
This is better than the studio version.
Alter Bridge: "Words Darker Than Their Wings" Live At The Royal Albert Hall
this song is such an emotional piece of music. masterfully written and played. absolutely heartwrenchingly powerful yet so delicate
It's just criminal that the world knows who Steven Tyler is...... but not Myles Kennedy..... good lord
Steven Tyler is a legend, the crime is the world knows who Shawn Mendes Orr Ed Sheeran is but not Myles
Tragic Beauty. Beautiful! Alterbridge is underated here in the states, but big overseas. Myles has one of the best voices in rock. Love all the musicians
Wow.... Tapestry....... The feeling of such a personal perspective woven into a beautiful piece of music.
I am happy that I found a reaction that the reactors really understood the musicianship. I always thought the solo Myles play is the sadness after loosing the person he loves, the longing, the pain.

So glad you posted this! Alter Bridge is an amazing band and this is one of their best songs. If you ever want to hear another side of them check out Cry of Achilles.
Same band
?
Yes same band
I will second this comment. Its my favourite Alter Bridge song with this (Blackbird) as my very close second.
my Favourite song of all time from alter bridge is probably burn it down actually but blackbird is amazing and so is cry of achilles
Everytime I go back to this clip I get massive goosebumps. It's near perfect in so many ways!
As a die hard AB fan, its so exciting to see their music pop up among reaction videos. Blackbird is truly a modern masterpiece and is undoubtedly one of the best rock songs in a few decades. Its incredible. but thats not it from AB! Their entire discography is incredible. I hope you guys check out way more from them. Start from their first album! pce and love
What you said about solos right after the video, I couldn’t agree with you more. Absolutely 100% right on
OMG i'm new on this channel and i'm amazed! This is the first reaction to alter bridge that i've ever seen. AMAZING!
You definitely should react to "in loving memory" by this guys. Tremonti wrote that song when his mother passed away. Totally heartbreaking.

Fallout too, 12/31 shows his vocal prowess like no other. Overflow is pretty epic too
For me this is the best music ever written.They put It a Lot more than Just a music,but the feeling
I love painting, but music is by far the most powerful of the Arts. This song is a strong testament to that opinion. Masterpiece
Awesome comments on this masterpiece by Ater Bridge. Music truly is a gift! You both combine to put a song into words and give your collective opinions . Very impressed! Subscribed!!

Rock on friend !
I believe in later interviews it was made public that Myles was very sick during this concert, but wouldn't let the fans down by postponing the show.

Beautiful song. Love the Dime sticker on Mark's guitar.
Great great comment
Shredding aint emotional
Alter bridge just showed everyone what a guitar can really do, touch you soul.
I always get goosebumps from this song
The whole crowd did !
suddenly youtube is full of blackbird reactions
What’d you think of this one ?
Awesome band! My favorite by them!
Welcome !
This band is Creed with a new vocalist and I’m glad people appreciate them because they absolutely deserve it. I’m a fan of Creed too and don’t understand all the hate that they got.
Me either

In my opinion one of the best solos of all time , a lot of energy and emotion behind it
Thank you guys. So good to see and hear your reactions to this xo
just gotta say that you both are so mature. i love the way you both talk. amazing reaction!
The solo perfectly fits the song Myles played his melodic part then mark finished the crescendo up perfectly with a slightly sped up but still melodic ending.
Amazing song
“Words darker than their wings” by Alter Bridge live at the Royal Albert hall
I enjoyed Creed while they were still held together, but the breaking of the band brought us Alter Bridge. Mark Tremonti is a great guitarist, and drummer Scott Phillips. Myles Kennedy has an unmistakable voice that is come to enjoy. Mark Tremonti is now also working on some solo work. You two keep rocking 🤘🏼
In loving memory is another awesome song from Alter bridge

Never can get enough of Alter Bridge. 🚬🍷😊
Awesome thank you for your choice and 🦅🦅🦅🦅🦅🦅🦅
Very well put about the solo. This is why I like the blues because of the expression the guitarist can convey through the instrument. Great review as always! Love the conversation.
Appreciate you my man !
I actually live in Spokane where Myles is from and I grew up two blocks away from Marks guitar shop so it’s cool to see him make it out of here
Happy song you say? All Ends Well by Alter Bridge. Probably the most uplifting song ever lol and the vocals are soaring lol
Heath Barkley my champion as well
MonsterJunkie yes and Rise Today, I forgot about a couple lol
Will Gassett Que Step Brothers quote "Did we just become best friends?!" Lol
Will Gassett Lol yes sir! Trying my hardest to get them introduced to more people!

Maybe this was suggested already, but if you want an equally emotional performance by Alter Bridge, react to the live performance of In Loving Memory. The lead guitarist wrote it for his mother who he lost when he was just a kid.
That would be an amazing reaction to watch guys.
I also lost my mother very young, and it was played at her funeral.
Much love guys. God bless
Great reaction. It's refreshing to see a reaction that is actually insightful and has good commentary. There's not many that are doing it this way and I personally try to stay away from those. Keep it up.
amazing song with a amazing reaction
after listening to your review of the song i think you guys would really enjoy comfortably numb by pink floyd. the solos in that song comes straight from the soul. its beautiful
If you liked the crowd reaction/interaction in this one, you should check out Open Your Eyes live from Amsterdam (by Alter Bridge, of course). The bridge section is just amazing. It gives me chills every time I watch it. I was actually fortunate enough to be a part of it when they came round my way on tour :D
Great band live !!! Awesome song ! Going to see Myles Kennedy solo in Chicago in a few weeks . One of my Top 5 singers of all time 🤘☘🤘
Lucky man!!
Went to see him last week in Dublin unbelievable performer and singer
I just love the tone of those guitars!
This is a POWERFUL song
Alter Bridge and Paul Reed Smith fiddles 🎸
Too The Front!!
Thanks so much for your words and pointing me here. This video wasn't loading when I looked. Might not have been up yet.
The moment I heard this song my friend Mike popped in my mind. He had Muscular Dystrophy and died at 23. Doctors gave him til 17, so he won.
That's why I wear the bridge on my forearm with a winged skull (his favorite band was Avenged, lol). Thank you for doing this song, it's a treasure. Alter Bridge is a treasure.
Appreciate you! Yes he won 6x over! You were a gift to him no doubt! Much love from over here my man ! 🤘🏾-Vin
I think Blackbird is just a play on words as a reference to the Beatles song Blackbird he played in the intro of the song, although both are likely using it for a particular reason.
Can you imagine how hard this song must have been for Myles to play the first time. I can't even imagine. I totally get why he wouldn't want to play it anymore if he chose not to. Very emotional song. Would love to see what Myles Kennedy has to say about this reaction. Great video.
Crows and Ravens are the souls of those past on that are still with us. 💞
Also a fitting song in memory of Dimebag Darrell, who's potrait is on Marks Tremonti's guitar shown here. RIP Dime.
You'll should react to Metalingus by Alter Bridge it is a more happier song
Requiem mass for the dead....rock version! I love seeing first reactions on this song. It takes me back to the first time I heard it! Phenomenal!
I love this song .. It's my all-time favorite, such a masterpiece. Alter Bridge, Myles and Mark's solo projects doesn't get the love and respect they deserve, they are SO underrated! With that said, I must say that Myles' effort on vocals on "blackbird" on "live in Amsterdam" is much better, even though this also is a great version! Just want people to hear the best, from the best!
Alter Bridge - Watch Over You is another good one.
Amazing song!
Really nice video guys. Glad to know that some people still love music and not some bunch of electronic sounds with no lyrics and no message at all. Cheers!!!
In Loving Memory as stated below....epic track.
Hey guys, love Alter Bridge. Seen them twice have the AB that's on the drum kit as a tattoo, Alter Bridge are just Creed with a different lead vocalist but all the lyrics are from the heart and soul not a bad song out of all 5 albums and 3 live CD'S and DVD's
Thank you..... seriously.
is a definitive masterpiece!
Alter Bridge is pretty much Creed with Myles as vocalist. Myles is a beast! Knowing he was the "Thor" at the end of Rockstar is freaking hilarious, but he has has a powerful voice for a long time! BTW, he was sick during this concert, so he is using a large amount of head voice, but still sounds great!
You guys have to react to In Loving Memory from Alter Bridge live from Amsterdam. One of the most powerful performance I've ever seen.
I must of watched this review 5 times now and am just now noticing the picture of dimebag Darrell at the bottom of mark tremontis guitar 🤘♥️
The guy you said was in creed was Mark Tremonti. In fact Alter Bridge is creed just with a different lead singer. Myles instead of Scott. Also the first time I saw Myles and his powerful, soulful voice was in the movie Rock Star with Mark Wahlberg. He is the one that toward the end Wahlberg pulled out of the crowd to replace him. Love this band and everything they do. All of their solos are so full of emotion and add so much to the song. And the Blackbird is his friend that died too young.
Myles used to have a band called The Mayfield Four. And Mark now has his own band called Tremonti.
Myles Kennedy is truly a "once in a lifetime" vocalist and one of the greatest of all time.
