Blah - BLOCKED!!!
THANK YOU ALTER BRIDGE TEAM FOR UNBLOCKING THE VIDEO!!!!!!! :))))))
Not any longer :)
@@KeyOfGeebz I've seen them help other reacters get around the copyright infringement issue and to me speaks volumes. They are truly in touch with their audience.
@@Voldafart there is one live with myles Kennedy, that one is even better
Great Reaction Enjoy'd you're breakdown. It's such a beautiful song. Myles vocals n lyrics speak volumes. I absolutely love their entire discography. When the music hit's you hard with emotion. I'd love to hear your breakdown. Of a song Myles did with Slash from Guns n Roses called "Starlight" it's one of my favorite songs Myles sings.
One of the most unsung, under rated bands out there. No weak spots, no BS.
Agree
Alter Bridge are huge here in Europe, but for some reason they aren't as popular in the US. Maybe it's because three of the four members were in Creed
Big agree, my dad introduced me back in high school and they are now one of my favorite bands. Their level of talent is just unmatched
My favourite band
@@DannyPhilipsen They don't get mainstream radio play really, though many rock stations are dead in the US these days. Only their first few albums it seems. A damn shame... each member is monster on their own.
The bass player is Brian Marshall. Glad you mentioned him as he's criminally underrated and never gets enough attention
Agree!!!
bass players is always forgotten
Yes! Brian Marshall and Scott Phillips dont get enough recognition in my circle. Everyone just knows Tremonti and Kennedy and the other 2 guys.
Extremely talented.
If this performance does not give you goosebumps you are not human
Right on brother 😉👍
I was there, I think the whole building got goosebumps. 😅
Yea I'm a *Beast*
It gives me tears of joy every fucking time 🥰🥰🥰
That note Myles hit was like a walk-off home run.
I believe in an interview they said that Myles always was against performing this song live. Good, that he changed his mind
Exactly
More like a walk-off grand slam.
He hit that note WHILE playing the guitar. That is unbelievable talent. WOW.
He does it better live. It’s nuts.
And to think Myles considers himself as a guitarist, and not really a vocalist. The lad is far too humble.
Mark thinks Myles is a better guitarist.
They are all very humble. It all adds to their appeal.
@@Lurch685 He's nuts. Mark is one of the best rock/metal guitarists ever, full stop. For that matter, he's gotten REALLY good as a singer. I honestly prefer his lower tones.
@@Retrorevelations maybe mark just thinks Myles writes better stuff. Being a technically better guitarist doesn’t make you a great writer.
@@Lurch685 that’s crazy but if you listen to everything he’s played through an amp it’s hard to not at least think about it. Mark is insane and on his own level, but Myles plays a different genre, and excels at it.
Alter Bridge is the epitome of great hard rock.
The second singer is Mark Tremonti also named GUITARIST OF THE DECADE! His solo project "Tremonti" is absolutely amazing and he is a great singer songwriter as well!
I understand when he says he’d want Myles’ voice and Govan’s guitar, but c’mon, Mark is far from being a slouch. Far more accomplished than Guthrie. 👑
Had never even heard of Alter Bridge, then saw Myles with Slash and was like...OH, who the heck is this dude...man, I was missing out
Myles’ albums with Slash and Tremonti’s solo work further showcases their talent.
Glad you've now been enlightened, never too late. Enjoy. 👍
I don’t think Myles’ work with Slash even measures up a 100th of what he does with Alter Bridge. Myles is probably the only good thing about Slash’s solo work lol.
That's exactly how I discovered them! Went to see Slash live in Kansas City in 2010 and was so wowed by Myles I immediately bought a ticket to see them 3 days later in Milwaukee and drove straight there.
@@bhaskarville Well that's not fair. Plenty to like about the rest of it other than just Myles. Some absolutely amazing vocal mylestones (swidt?) too - I mean, Starlight? You don't need to shit on another bunch of artists to lift any of their number up, all I'm saying.
My man FEELS the music... he doesn't just listen to some song or whatever .. he doesn't just watch some dudes playing live .. he FEELS all that. RESPECT
It's okay to cry when he hits that high note, I do it every time this man sings.
The other singer is Mark Tremonti. Check out his band - Tremonti. Pretty cool stuff🤟
I feel like AB as a band is sooo underrated and unrecognized for how unique they are, and then Myles and Mark on their own, in their respective solo works, are even more underrated. Especially the difference in styles from AB’s style to Tremonti’s metal and Myles solo folk style.
@@Robb93 You're right, they catch your attention from the very begining. Everything they do as a band and solo is amazing.
But there are so many underrated bands and singers...such a shame. Probably because they make music, not hits🤟
Both are great. Very melodic...which is what is missing in a lot of music today
BIG tremonti fan! Absolutely love everything he does!😁
@@danieltoogood9385 see them live if you get a chance when the world opens again! Seen Tremonti twice, Alter Bridge four times, and met Mark a couple times and had a beer with him once while 10 Years was performing after Tremonti opened for them. Super nice guy too
After Myles hitting the high notes at 10:30 you can see Mark looking over at Myles and smiling.
They usually don’t perform this live cause those notes are so high and difficult to hit even for Myles.
THIS particular performance is one of the greatest ROCK performances on tape of any rock generation or rock genre.
This performance is almost a religious/ spiritual experience! What an amazing voice and awesome, severely underrated band.
Yep
Oh man! Even Tremonti acknowledged that note! Old AB fan but this is new to me. Get choked every time I've seen these guys live, a**holes lol 🤣🤣
🤘❤🖤💛💜💙💚💖
Yeah. I need a girl that looks at me like Mark looks at Myles when he hits that high note.
I was so close of seeing Alter Bridge live. Really wanted to but was looking for a job and they were in Toronto and I live in Halifax. I will eventually see them. My favorite band
Seriously that voice at the end blew me away to another world.
follow the lyrics - it is a conversation between Myles and Mark about faith
Holy shit...I legit never realized that. You just blew my mind. Thanks!
Dude, you're right! How did I miss that? Lol
Wow, you're not kidding...
@@enforcer28331 ABIII is a very dark album. This is the final track on the album.
Myles has talked about being agnostic and a little undecided about that.
Mark has strong religious roots and so it completely makes sense.
Most Alter Bridge is Drop C#
Their secret weapon is that their guitar player Mark Tremonti also has a front man's voice
And that Myles is one of the most killer guitarists around, the double threat of the bandleaders has always amazed me.
@@TheBadgie17 I was going to say the same thing. Two great singers plus two great guitarists.
Hes right that this song is an open tuning. Its an Open G tuning. Mark has said Open Gm. But its likely that plus a half step.
@@RobbieFitzgerald it’s DGDGAD down a half step, a tuning popularised by Chris Whitley and one of my personal favourites to write with on the guitar! ☺️
@@TheBadgie17 Thats Open Gm, half step as I said. 🙂
I'm very happy you chose this video to breakdown, thank you.
I love how Tremonti looks over at Miles after he absolutely NAILS that high vocal at the end. He's like" yeah man...you're the shit"...
Mark Tremonti is a crazy good guitar player and sings incredibly with his own band. Plus he always filled in back up vocals and melodies for Creed too. Small note... WVH was the bass player in Tremonti for several years as well.
i absolutely love Alter Bridge, they have been my favorite band forever now.
You need to give "Alter Bridge - Broken Wings" a listen. It's the song that got me into their stuff from the beginning.
In loving memory is also tear-inducing
Myles is, has been and will Always be my ABSOLUTE FAVORITE rock VOCALIST...they are Always so INCREDIBLE live❣
Myles Kennedy has something like a 4 octave range - it's one of the greatest vocalists ever, he's otherworldly. As a song writer, Tremonti is one of the best out there already, but pair him with Kennedy, it's mind blowing. As a bass player, I can tell you that Brian Marshall is another unsung hero - he lays down the thunder and the melodies better than nearly everyone else out there active in the Rock/Metal scene right. The weakest member of the band is Scott Phillips, who's better than the majority of drummers out there, but downplays his skill to fit the songs more appropriately (that's not an insult; to say the the weakest member of the band is one of the best of the best, is just illustrating how ridiculously talented these guys are). It's impossible to quantify how good these guys really are. Tremonti is one of my big heroes in music and I can't wait to see what he does next with either of his bands.
Bro, me too. Everything you said. Funny story, I just found out about them a couple months ago. Being a big Creed fan "who I always defended!" because of Mark Tremmonti it was a massive revelation. Like seriously, how had I missed this band all this time? Like wtf? Lol. Now when I put in AB III I have to listen to the whole album like I do with Pink Floyds dark side of the moon. It's that incredibly awesome. 😎🤘
@@D-Day-fb3pw Better late than never, right?
@@hosersupreme Yep, It must of been waiting for me till the time was right and man it's really helping me get through some shit right now. Couldn't of come at a better time really. Like finding the holy Grail. Lol😎👍
5 octave I read. The whole band has so much talent in each one. Usually one or two carry the band. Not this band.
Flip doesn't overplay, I think that makes him a great drummer
Also glad you pick up on brian marshall ripping on the bass man its almost overwhelming listening to all that's going on its heaven
Bass: Brian Marshall
Drums: Scott "Flip" Phillips
Guitar/vocals: Mark Tremonti
Vocals/guitar: Myles Kennedy
Arranger and Conductor: Simon Dobson 🤘😎
For the Orchestra I recommend you "Alter Bridge: Before Tomorrow Comes - Orchestra Only" - Here's the link: ruclips.net/video/jsK3TXkT9I0/видео.html
Simon Dobson killed it, great guy and fantastic composer
As much as I LOVE Mark, and the band as a whole, I'm stoked that you singled out Brian Marshall, the bassist. When a band has such dynamic vocalists and/or guitarists, the bassist seems to go unnoticed or given compliments like "solid".
This song is perfect. That's it. Perfection.
This was a full concert with the Parallax Orchestra. You should check out Fortress from the same show.
If you watch the full special of the making of this concert, Myles was feeling uneasy about doing this song live the two nights this was filmed because of that note at the end. Mark looking over at him as if to say "you effen nailed that sh*t", gets me every time. The duration of the note with the vibrato gives me chills.
Did he hit that note both nights?
I've seen Alter Bridge twice live before. Once at download Festival, the second was at this concert and this one absolutely blew me away! People give them stick for being formulated and predictable, but I think they are incredible. Love this.
Great reaction for a band that get overlooked frequently and don't know why..Tremonti and Kennedy are A+ players...Thanks brother ...
They only got to play through each song once before performing live with the orchestra. They totally smashed it!
Mark is also an amazing musician and singer, Flip on Drums is just a magician, and Brian's Bass lines arw just beautiful!
Alter Bridge is my absolute favorite band EVER. So glad I found some good reactions here.
I would ask you to do more Alter Bridge, like “Open Your Eyes” or “Before Tomorrow Comes,” but with Myles Kennedy and Mark Tremonti, it’s pretty obvious why they melt faces (and give plenty of opportunities for “chicken skin” as you call it). Although, a breakdown of “Blackbird” would be pretty epic. Love the videos! Keep it up!
Please react to Blackbird, when my brother passed away this song was a very strong force to stay and fight for life! Favorite song of all
Was at this gig. The orchestra just made it epic!!!!!
And finally someone picks up the awesome stuff the bass player (Brian Marshall) does.
Always loved Brian since 'just an illusion' creed
Man your ear is good! I’ve listened to this a million times and never heard the reed section. But sure enough, I have the vinyl of this performance which has the credits for the full orchestra and it lists Eleanor Tinlin as the Oboe player, Dan Hillman on clarinet/bari sax, and Tom Moos on basoon! Credit to you folks who I finally heard today!
It's awesome that Alter Bridge unblocked this video. Could you react to Blackbird by Alter Bridge (ruclips.net/video/JUh8NOTW1Ws/видео.html)? It's their magnum opus in my opinion.
100% agree. My all time favorite song.
@@johannafelder7495 Yes! Please do Blackbird!!
Agreed. And also the version from this show!
Another vote for Blackbird, it’s truly the finest piece of writing they’ve done, and I’m inclined to think ever will.
Holy crap yes, dude that song is just an absolute MASTERPIECE
Tremonti is a god. I've loved him all the way back to Creed (yes, fight me) although Miles is the last piece of the puzzle to make this band perfect. The modern Led Zeppelin in my opinion. And this is Creed with a different (and way more amazing) vocalist, although he is also an amazing songwriter and guitarist, which is where the differences come in.
To be fair, Scott Stapp's voice was also pretty damn amazing in the early days. His tones on the first Creed album were chilling. His voice started losing it somewhat over time, due to smoking and/or drug use. Sucks.
But I really love Tremonti's voice. I love Miles, but if AB was a trio and Mark was the singer, I'd be perfectly fine. He has grown a LOT as a singer on his solo band records.
Wow, would’ve never guessed you’d get around to doing my favorite band!! So hyped
I never herd this band be for but I got to check them out
The parallax orchestra and the conductor is simon Dobson. What a performance !!
I've been a proud AB fan since I listened to their first album in 2004 and it's always been for 2 reasons:
1) they consistently release great music,
2) their love and appreciation for music lovers, not just their own fans.
For this, they'll have me as a fan for as long as I draw breath.
That performance always gives me the chills and gets tears of joy in my eyes! Especially that high note at the end!
What an incredible group of individuals!
And also, great analysis! You, sir, got yourself a new subscriber. :)
Wow, thank you!
They are: Myles Kennedy, lead vocals and 2nd Guit. Mark Tremonti 2nd Vocals and Lead Guit. Brian Marshall Bass, Scot Phillips, percussion. The last three once had a band with Scott Stapp called Creed.
Fun fact in case you may not of known. If you take out myles the rest of the band used to be creed. When creed broke up their singer was Scott Stapp. Mark tremonti ( lead guitar ) Scott Phillips ( drummer ) and Brian Marshall ( bass ) were the other 3 members of creed. When creed broke up a couple years later they started alterbridge and had myles Kennedy come in for tryouts. Which turned into this beyond amazing band.
Man, I wish alter bridge was more mainstream, Myles has some vocals as good as Dio imo
Better than Dio
Alter Bridge are amazingly creative
Love this band!! So many great songs. Creed who?
Mr. Geebz... I'm overwhelmed with your words and your loss of words on Myles singing and everything.
Please, DO another one of Myles!! ... his latest song Ides of March... Astonishing perfect and beyond anything in this Universe!!! Master Myles of Music!
Thank you...and All the Best!!
Tremonti's harmonies are unique, and this one is absolutely brilliant...never would think of that in a million years. Dare I say AIC good? ;)
Yes YEs YES - I'll allow it. Alice In Chains harmonies are ridiculous to pull off and so was this. Temple of the Dog with CC and EV doing hungerstrike too. Just crazy.
Listen to "As The Silence Becomes Me" by Tremonti who is the lead guitarist and back up singer for Alter Bridge!
Pleeease listen to in loving memory
Brian has always put the quality of his sound over "flashiness" he doesnt move around or do anything that could compromise how solid he is.
You won my heart when you praised Myles and Guthrie Govan in the same breath. ❤️❤️ both my idols
You're the first reactor who I have seen pick up on Brian's bass runs. 👌👌
Omg you found my favourite band!
I love everything about this song. Individually and with Alter Bridge, they just keep doing great things. In spring of 2022, Mark Tremonti released, "Mark Tremonti sings Frank Sinatra", recorded with many of Sinatra's former band members. That voice! It's incredible and all the proceeds go to charity.
In terms of Guitar tuning. When playing live they generally tune in what has been called "Open G" tuning, D.G,D,G,B,D. Mark Tremonti (The lead guitarist) has said in interviews previously that they tune down an extra half step in the studio. Also cool fun fact, Mark Tremonti is also the founding vocalist for Creed and later formed a self titled band "Tremont. Another fun fact, everyone in the Alter Bridge other than Myles is from Creed.
Tremonti wasn’t Creed’s vocalist. He did some backing singing and harmonies though behind Scott Stapp. He does sing a few AB songs however; and continues his great harmonies with Myles Kennedy singing most of the leads.
AlterBridge is so much more complex musically than Creed was. Myles is also heavily involved in the songwriting process in AB and he plays rhythm and lead guitar. Tremonti is allowed freedom to rip face melting solos with AB like he wasn’t allowed in Creed.
Brian Marshall is outstanding on this track.......mind you, so is Scott. Everyone always talks about Myles and Mark (understandably), but the other two - well, I'll just say it wouldn't be Alter Bridge without what they do.
I love your reactions. You truly know music, and I really enjoy learning from what you say🙌🏻😃
My all time favorite band for the past 12 years
These guys are so underrated
i just sat watching your every reaction, you LITERALLY feel the music and it is a beautiful thing.
Holy shit how did I miss this? Alter Bridge is my favorite band. Hell yeah Geebz!
Live at Royal Albert Hall with the Parallax Orchestra. The full concert along with a documentary is on Amazon Prime although it's not free but totally worth it.
This is one of the best concerts I have ever been too. It was amazing and the Parallax 52 piece orchestra come across way better live. The version of Black Bird from this concert is just out of this world, please do that one next!!!! or In Loving Memory as this is a tribute to Mark Tremonti's mother
People use to think I was crazy about the musicianship of creed. Mark Tremonti has progressed so much through the years as a writer. And singer. Miles is a perfect fit. I’m glad they didn’t continue to use the name creed. By that time it had already had a black eye.
If you listen with some good headphones, Brian’s intricate bass lines really come through!
I have the Blue Ray of this concert and it goes through the steps of them putting this together with the the orchestra. They performed two shows and only had two rehearsals together before the first show. Talent all the way around.
Great reaction! I enjoyed your analysis. Brand New Start or Blackbird studio versions are a good listen as well.
When Myles hits that long high note at the end and Tremonti just looks over with that smile. I'd say Mark picked the best rock voice of this generation. You are correct about the alternate tunings, Tremonti never plays in standard tuning. Most of it is C#, G5, Drop D, he brings 7-9 different guitars on tour just because of the tuning.
Not technically true, Take You With Me and Bringer of War off "A Dying Machine" are in E Standard! Also a bunch of stuff from Creed and two songs off One Day Remains, though I forget which. But from Blackbird through Walk the Sky and his first 3 Tremonti albums you're absolutely correct, not a single E Standard song in sight.
The first second I read what you were reacting to I literally said "oh, fuck yes" and clicked so damn so fast lol
I was there on that night, the orchestra were beautiful and just on fantastic form
You should also check out "The End is Here" from this same concert. The orchestra complement is incredible, the best from this concert in my opinion
Holy Crap! I missed your Alter Bridge reaction! AWESOME!
Not sure if you know already, but everyone in Alter Bridge minus the singer was in Creed. After Creed broke up, everyone but Scott Stapp formed this band. Miles the singer also works with Slash from Guns and Roses
Thanks Ben - I didn't know that.
The live video of Slash featuring Myles Kennedy and the Conspirators performing Anastasia is unbelievably amazing! You should check that one out! Slash’s guitar solo is😳🔥🔥
Also check out Myles with The Mayfield Four. The note that he hits at the end of summergirl is one of the things that Mark knew about him before he auditioned for AB.
Myles is my most favorite rock tenor. The band - Mark Tremonti (lead guitarist) Brian Marshall (bassist) & Scott Phillips (drummer) were previously Creed. The ending kills me each time I hear it and I listen to it alot. I believe Nathan Klein & Andrew Skeet did the orchestral arrangement for this song.
You must watch ‘the end is here’ from the same concert, the strings are amazing.
Some background on this song that I think you'll consider interesting. Specifically, THAT vocal note near the end was the reason for this song not being performed live for the seven years after it was recorded, despite it being a common fan favorite. Myles talks about it a little just before they perform the song on their official video (not sure if that's what you used or not, so here: ruclips.net/video/fTvJ1TYORJg/видео.html ). You can see Mark Tremonti's (the other guitarist and singer) reaction after Myles nails the note and if you listen closely you can hear the audience's rising reaction as well.
A beautiful song about two friends with opposing viewpoints on religion and faith, one secular and the other non, turned into a beautiful overall performance. Thank you for your take on it; you've earned my subscribe. :)
May I recommend their song Fortress, either from the album Fortress or off this same orchestral performance.
Vocals and Rhythm guitar - Myles Kennedy
Lead guitar and backing vocals - Mark Tremonti
Bass guitar - Brian Marshall
Drums - Scott "Flip" Phillips.
Thanks, it was nice to hear a more technical reaction to this. I was there that night, actually both nights, for this gig. Can I just add that the sheer majesty of a band at the height of their powers, backed by a full orchestra, mixed perfectly, in acoustically brilliant venue is utterly breathtaking. This was definitely one of the best gigs I've been to, and I've been to a few over my 40 years (yes, I'm that ancient) of concert going..
Soot on bro!! Chills and tears from this one every time!!🙏🙏
Sometimes it is almost impossible to verbalize what Miles does with his voice. I personally, think of superlatives that just don’t quite seem adequate most of the time. He is just flawless. I just love this band as a whole! Mark’s supporting & alternately leading vocals are incredible. His guitar play can give you chills. Brian’s bass play is perfect given the soaring guitars & vocals. Scott is likewise amazing. This band can seem dark, yet ultimately you can’t help but feel uplifted by the end of their songs. I absolutely love these guys. As close to perfect as one can get really. The first time I heard these guys I was hooked! Man, Miles’ voice is so sick! His range is incredible & he is as pitch perfect as anyone I’ve ever heard. An amazing band! And bringing in the orchestra on this song was a perfect harmony of two opposite ends of the spectrum. I love the mix of an orchestra with metal or hard rock music. You wouldn’t think these genres could turn out this beautiful. However, when it is done right it is spine tingling & almost spiritual. I’d say this is my favorite Alter Bridge song, but I say that about all of them. On any given day who knows which one will be my favorite. I just love them all!
Just discovered your channel. Can tell you love all music. If you haven't already I'd recommend just listening to the whole Albert Hall album. The orchestra adds to songs that are already amazing.
They did 2 nights with the full paralux orchestra, they were only able to run through this once or twice with the full orchestra the day prior. AB is awesome live, every night. Goosebumps everytime I hear this version
Thanks for reacting, hadn't heard of these guys before. Reminds me of dream theater ballads on a grander scale.
You would like Lucid Planet. Face the sun isn't too long... Might not catch too many eyeballs though
This is mostly creed but with miles Kennedy on vocals!
AB hits hard with their stuff and I love it. The other guitar player is Mark Tremonti
Just to let you know he hit that high note better live here compared to the studio version. Let that sink in. Mr Myles Kennedy ladies and gentlemen.
Incredible
Now !:
LUCID PLANET!
Zenith or Anamnesis... or both!!
Both sounds freaking good !!!!
Yayyaaaaaaaa
Myles Kennedy just released a single from his new album called The Ides of March.
He’s incredible. You should check it out!
Goosebumps. : )
Yes what a song what a perfect reaction!
I was lucky enough to be there on the 1st night with my Wife and Youngest Daughter.
I believe they only got to rehearse once with the Orchestra too, which says alot about the band the Conductor/ Composer and the Orchestra itself.
When Myles hit that note near the end and the crowd spotaniously cheer, we had goosebumps on top of goosebumps!
Simply the best gig we have ever attended.
Yes echo others suggesting "Blackbird" and my personal favourite which is "Cry of Achilles" both such epic songs!
Keep up the insightful reviews thanks from the UK
The whole albert hall concert with the parallax orchestra was incredible
The feels.
