  • Can anyone tell I am a huge Myles Kennedy fan, and now a Mark Tremonti fan as well? I LOVE what Alter Bridge is doing (including their new album) and now the charities that both Myles and Mark sponsor. So sitting down to listen to their music on this channel was a no brainer - but now I have a new favorite of theirs!
    Join professional opera singer Elizabeth Zharoff, as she listens to Alter Bridge performing "Words Darker Than Their Wings" for the first time.

    I want to point out that Myles Kennedy is in his fifties and nobody is having the typical "can he still do the high notes" talks they have with other rock vocalists. The guy is a machine. Tremonti has obviously been taking lessons from a professional, if it isn't Myles. He's not going to fade either. This band is amazing!

      I was really hoping she was gonna fully crack the code - she was so close...they treat it like there are three vocalists and they push their harmonies appropriately. That first bit in the chorus where that half or quarter tone pops out, it's being pushed from the bottom - Myles stays static and gets out of the way while Mark pushes their third player up from the bottom. Mark does the same in a few more bars - Mark drops down and Myles puts the secondary tones into a push to pop out their mystery friend again.
      I did a few years in a barbershop quartet chasing overtones so this one kind of stood out to me.
      They've been working together so long, they both get out of not only each other's way but out of the way of the thing they're creating, which is even MORE rare.

    For sure, in the chorus, you'll notice if you listen to this as often as i have lol, that Myles stays on his line... the overtone in "into the light may you fall," (the first time) Mark is the one that goes UP in his harmony... Then .. on the second time when they sing "Into the light may you KNOW" ... ON the work, 'KNOW' -- Mark GOES DOWN, so that he can match the harmony with Myles in the "Truth alone" lyric, where they have a little bit of matching vocal acrobatics ... truely a master class of harmony ... and not easy to replicate... it took me a few tries to get mark's part right without "searching" for the right note. love it.
    and interesting note... what made this performance so special, was that they never played this song live because of what occurs at the end. Myles had a lot of trepidation about not being able to hold the note like he did on the record... but the band finally persuaded him to do it for this performance.... HE DID NOT DISAPPOINT. AND Mark's look for total pride in myles, with that smirk after the note.. is gold. almost like he was thinking "I knew he could do it all along!"

      @@nightsgrow6575 Myles didn't single out the high note as solely why he was apprehensive in performing it. He's a perfectionist by nature (I suffer the same personality trait...it is rewarding and a curse simultaneously). It was the totality of getting so many nuances and timing down, especially since it's a duet and an orchestra behind it. To add to his anxiety, they had never performed it live, so no real world practice with crowd reaction performing it...and so to do it the first time, for THIS concert...he had a ton of anxiety prepping for it. At the sound checks for this show, he kept complaining it wasn't ready yet. Mark kept reassuring him it was good.

    I've said for years that Myles has the best voice in Rock music today... but man, Mark's voice is damn good too. And only has got better since the Sinatra project.

    Music brings all kinds of emotions...but when I listen to these guys, the sheer musical and vocal beauty of so many of their songs always brings tears rolling down my face...Alterbridge are just a class of their own..hope they come to Australia as they are my very favourites. I will be that person with random tears rolling unbidden, but probably not alone❤😂

    I heard this version for the first time hearing this song, and IMMEDIATELY fell in love with it. I'd love to hear more Tremonti in their songs.

    • @csi2448
      @csi2448 Год назад +6

      Stay, off their new album is mostly Mark. They’ve been playing that on tour as well. Mark has been doing the singing on Burn It Down during the tour as well. So it’s happening. Mark’s voice has come a long way, so I’m glad it’s being used more in AB!

  • @stonerjoe21
    @stonerjoe21 Год назад +6

    Tremonti’s look of approval after masterful singing like “That’s my Boi!” I’ll say I haven’t heard too many vocalist kill it the way Miles does!

  • @theargentino4245
    @theargentino4245 Год назад +17

    OH FUCK YES.
    Edit: 15:59 That's literally my single favourite part of the song. Everyone is all about the high note at the end. But I just LOVE how Myle's voice flows after the first verse in that bit. In the studio version he actually doesn't sing any lines there like he improvises here. What he actually does is just vocalize "Oooh"'s and "Ahhh"'s. But the way he sounds is just.... so relaxing....

  • @averageinternetuser95

  • @csi2448
    @csi2448 Год назад +14

    Elizabeth doing a Tremonti song (I know she’s done the Sinatra stuff) would be incredible to see. The usual picks would be Dust, Take You With Me, or Let That Be Us. But there’s a track called In One Piece, off his most recent album that she would be blown away by. He hits some notes in that that I had no idea he could hit!

    @ryanangeli5897 Год назад +5

    Mark Tremonti is the reason I picked up a guitar for the first time more than 20 years ago. When he started singing I was blown away, and he’s one of my favourite singers now too.
    I just saw then for the first time in Boston in February and I was 15 feet away from the stage. Best night of my life.

    • @csi2448
      @csi2448 Год назад +1

      He’s always been a phenomenal artist, but his solo stuff has really brought all of that to light. And it’s only gotten better!

  • @DanielBobke
    @DanielBobke Год назад +8

    Just saw them on their current tour and Myles and Mark were in TOP form. Mark got the spotlight for a song on "Burn It Down" and it was flawless. Truly one of the top hard rock acts out there today - both vocally and instrumentally. The other thing I noticed was that their sound system was one of the best I have ever heard and the mix was perfection. You never lost the vocals in the mix and everything instrumentally was right up front. One of the better live shows I have ever seen. Unfortunately they did not do this song, but they have rarely performed this live (if ever) other than this performance from the Royal Albert Hall.

  • @Faraz_khan0

    Listened to this song 100s of times and watched dozens of reactions but never came to appreciate it as much as when I watched your analysis to it. This is the reason why I'm always super excited whenever I see an Alter Bridge reaction from you! :))

    I remember back when I heard that they were doing a concert with an orquestra and I was really excited. Unfortunately I could only watch it from my computer, and when I was finally able to find a full version to download, I watched it on repeat non-stop. Such an amazing concert, and such a great video. Congrats

  • @aidaneckart5054
    @aidaneckart5054 Год назад +9

    I'm so happy I got to see them live for the first time this past month! Alter Bridge is easily one of my favorite bands ever. Myles is one of the best singers of our time I believe. Mark and Myles are just such nice people too. I think it's funny they both consider themselves guitar players first but they are both so incredibly talented beyond just the guitar.

    One of the best rock bands today. I don't understand why they are much more successful here in Europe than in their own country.

    • @zackguitar07
      @zackguitar07 Год назад +2

      I think it’s because American audiences still associate Creed as being uncool or amusing to dislike (similar to the hate for Nickelback or Coldplay). I loved Creed when they came out, but somehow didn’t give Alter Bridge a fair shot until 2-3 years ago after hearing Myles’s voice with Slash first. It’s a shame because they’re an incredibly talented group.

    • @RB-oc7ti
      @RB-oc7ti Год назад +2

      I think partially also that new heavy guitar based melodic rock and metal isn’t in the US mainstream as much. Its alot of pop and hiphop that seems to unfortunately be pushed most by mainstream media. Older rockers and metal heads stick to old legacy acts and aren’t open to new(er) talent.
      I wish more for them, but I’m just glad they keep making records of new music and tour (as well as their side stuff)! They have the best of both worlds in a way … can make a good living performing, while keeping their dignity and not selling out; and also they can have a family life and walk around without paparazzi hounding. Great life actually!

    Myles stole the show once again. I remember the reaction to Disturbed covering The sound of silence with Myles on the backing vocals and even then Elizabeth commented his vocals more. That's why I like her 😂

  • @davidadamsmusic
    @davidadamsmusic Год назад +10

    100% agree with your assessment. Dark but enchanting. This band doesn’t get the attention they deserve. The musicianship of Mark and Myles is off the charts. I think part of their “challenge” is that they make really difficult vocal stylings sound too easy so it’s not noticed by most. They are a “musicians band” IMHO. Awe and admiration abounds from me. (…and greetings to you, Elizabeth, from a fellow WHS choir grad)

    • @steverenison3375

    Yesss!! I love this song so much for its magnificent build up, and it was a joy to feel that in this video anticipating your reaction to the end! If Alter Bridge never plays this song live again, they at least 100% knocked it out of the park with this one 🥲

    I've seen Alter Bridge many times, and again 2 weeks ago. They're AMAZING!!! Myles is incredible great in Slash's band, too. In 2012, I had the pleasure of meeting Mark Tremonti when Creed played 2 nights at the music venue where I worked. I took my lunch break in the catering room and the *only* person in there was Mark. I don't get starstruck easily, but I kept telling myself to play it cool and just said a quick, "Hey, Mark!" As crew members came in, I met his guitar tech who introduced us. I told Mark, "I really like Creed, but I *love* Alter Bridge!!" - he giggled and smiled with pride. They let me watch the show on his side of the stage and it was mind-blowing!

    I love the backing vocals Mark provides in the performance. It adds so much to the already perfect melody Myles is singing. I'm currently taking singing lessons and studying Myles solo single "Love Can Only Heal" and man, it is so much more impressive to learn how good Myles actually is and how high his range expands. I'm so glad you analysed this performance ❤️

  • @pitpride1220
    @pitpride1220 Год назад +4

    I've been waiting for you to get to this! I spammed the comments with everyone else. Such a great performance! The message of the song is great. It's based off of a real conversation between Myles and Mark about the existence of God. I love how they both sing their parts of the conversation. Then when they sing together it's almost like a compromise. Mark is trying to comfort Myles through the song and give hope. Myles doesn't believe and Mark does. The lyrical conversation is really special!
