Bro two weeks ago I was happy for you reaching 62k. Lol Now your well on your way to 100k. I bet by Monday. I'd almost put money on it!! Congratulations brother, I know it's not free to do these! Thank You!!. My kids find you funny!
@@njineermike He's so genuine. Other reaction's are more worried about how there subscribers view them. Preston doesn't miss a beat. To truly enjoy music you have to do that. And I like how when he's not a fan, he gives them a second chance.
Totally, 150% agree... because they give you more than you are asking for: amazing vocals, superior musical proficiency, unbelievably well-written songs/lyrics and a mind-blowing LIVE performance every time!!!
Couldn't agree more. I've been saying for years that IMO Alter Bridge & Sevendust are THE 2 MOST underrated bands over the last 2 decades bar none. They both have created mind blowing masterpiece songs & absolutely crush live. And both have completely destroyed the majority of bands they've been on the same bill with. Yet they're both not huge. They deserve SO much more. AB & 7D forever...
Totally agree, in 2006 (when they were pretty well unknown) my girlfriend took me to see Alter Bridge in her university bar, she was on the entertainment body so I got to meet the band, I knew some of them as I kind of liked some Creed songs at the time and thought hey this could be good. Dude they fucking blew me away, several months later I broke up with the girl, but my love affair with Alter Bridge just keeps getting stronger. And from around 2500 people in the Cardiff Uni bar to seeing them playing much bigger gigs now, but I still think they are hugely underrated. I keep playing them to my friends though, and have hooked a few people on to the Alter Bridge sweetness. But there's still a lot of work to be done!
When Alter Bridge came out I was never into Creed so my thinking was hell, they only changed the singer cant be any better.... I missed out on YEARS of awesome shit. AB is now my favorite band and i am just happy i finally gave them a listen. I enjoy every single song they have, and one of if not the best bands i have seen live... awesome sounding shows Everytime I see them.
This song will forever hold a special place in my heart. About two years ago, i was in a very dark place. I'm not gonna lie, i even considered that final solution nobody wants to talk about. But while i was in that pit, i found this song. And i'm not afraid to say that without this song, i wouldn't be here. It saved me. And i forever will love this song and this band. I even saw them live, and this song was played. That was probably the most emotional moment of my life, hearing this live. God bless you for reacting to this song. It's the Stairway To Heaven of our generation!
Tommy Wood I swear I just watched like 7 reaction videos to it and they all praised the hell out of it, great fucking song, legendary solo, amazing band
I love seeing other people enjoying my absolute favorite band. Everytime Myles Kennedy opens his mouth I get chills and Mark Tremonti is a guitar genius. I flippin love them!
Myles has one of the most under-rated voices in the genre. His power, depth, everything is just perfect. He doesn't get nearly the recognition he deserves
Mark Silva there are several songs to choose from. Look up the Blackbird and ABIII albums. Full of great music. Browse the comments for suggestions also.
You’re correct! This epic song is a masterpiece! Alter Bridge have this knack of invoking so much emotion from people, there’s a few songs that make me tear up, this one included. They wrote this song for a friend that passed away young, you can hear this in the lyrics, Myles Kennedy’s voice is spectacular, those notes he holds at the end are just wow, glad you liked it.
Thank you for reacting to Alter Bridge. My favorite band for a while now but so underrated. And yet everyone reacting to them is in aw of how good they are. Great job. New sub for you
You're like me, that's why I love rock/metal. No other genre in general can make me feel emotions like the ones in this song. I think you'll enjoy more Alter Bridge, because every single song they wrote hit your soul. That's why it's my favorite band of all time. From their newest album "This Side Of Fate" would be the masterpiece of that album. From the Fotress album, "Fortress" and "Cry Of Achilles" would be that. From ABIII, their darkest song to date in my opinion is "Show Me A Sign" (though I would recommend this one after you've listened to more AB songs) and "Words Darker Than Their Wings". I would recommend more, because it's just so good
I found them late!! I wanted to know what else Myles did besides what he did with Slash (which was amazing as well) and sort of stumbled into the fandom. I haven't gotten to listen to his newer so album yet though ..does anyone recommend it?
Soulinflamez I don’t know if he can review it here. He uses the Undertaker’s theme for when people “get banished to the Nether Realm,” and if he’s familiar with the Undertaker, he’s probably heard Metalingus, because it was Edge’s entrance theme for about a decade. Edited to correct a typo
I love this song so much man. It's incredible, one of Alter Bridge's best, and that's saying a lot because they don't have anything close to a bad song. Awesome reaction bruh, glad you enjoyed it!!
Alter Bridge - Words Darker Then Their Wings (Live at The Royal Albert Hall)!!! Will give you a huge appreciation of their abilities and the scale they go.
Myles Kennedy and Corey Taylor have two of the best voices in metal music. Years ago Dave Grohl from Nirvana/Foo Fighters released an album for a Documentary he made called Sound City. There is a song call "from can to cant" featuring Corey Taylor, Rick Neilson and Scott Reeder. You definitely need to check it out. ruclips.net/video/n75NvVHQV4M/видео.html
You deserve good reactions to your reaction. Great concentration without constant interruptions and genuine appreciation to a masterpiece. Good on you man.
You, my friend, are a real fan of music. Not many of you on RUclips. Keep it going! My request is TESSERACT - NOCTURNE. They're like Tool meets Pink Floyd, but heavier. My absolute favorite band. Right up your alley!
Thanks for sharing this one, I've never heard it before. It was a Beautiful song and I knew you'd do a playback when they were shreddin on the guitar ;) But you're absolutely right Preston, it was Flawless. His voice is haunting and the lyrics were moving and the guitar work was Amazing, Loved it.
Watching people hear Alter Bridge and specifically Blackbird for the first time is so addictive. It's like watching someone experience a transformative moment. Great reaction!
really happy for u man , u seem like a very geniune and honest person , and i can tell your reactions are authentic and not forced ,lets first get this 100k and then the milly isnt that far away if u keep putting out so much good content.. much love from Greece
Yes Preston!! So glad you enjoyed that!! It really is a masterpiece. Gives me goosebumps just hearing you describe it that way. Love from the UK. React to more Alter Bridge. Metalingus, slip to the void, addicted to pain
Been listening to this song since it came out, and it still gives me the goosebumps. I was blown away when moving back to USA and seeing how much more they are appreciated in a lot of Europe.
After Creed disbanded, the band members joined up with singer Myles Kennedy and did their own thing. That is Alter Bridge. You probably knew that already though. Great reaction vid. Great song choice.
Yo bro!! I've been watching alot of your videos lately, love them! Love how open you are. I definitely requested this song for you, among others I'm sure. Because it is my favorite song of all time!! So to see how much you love it makes me feel good!! Keeping being awesome bro!! Keep it up!
Saw Myles with Slash, by far one of the top vocalists out there. He definitely doesn't get the recognition he so deserves. It really was a privilege to see him perform.
Thanks so much for reacting to my favorite band and for recognizing the craft and heart that goes into their songs. This song is legit a Masterpiece and I'm glad you agree. Gives me goosebumps every time. Hope you can listen to more in the future!
It's always great to see peoples' reactions to this song. Such a beautiful, soul-touching piece. I really appreciate your reaction to this--first time to your channel.
I may be wrong but I'm pretty sure Miles wrote this song when one of his closest friends died of cancer. The symbolism in the name blackbird itself is amazing.Hands down one of the greatest songs I've ever heard.
Scott Phillips, the drummer, is from the town next to mine. I've met him a couple of times throughout life. His father was my professor In a couple of classes. He and I knew many of the same local musicians.....until, he went to FSU. Then, he met his band mates. Fired Scott Stapp and brought Miles Kennedy in.....perfection was born. Could not have happened to a more awesome guy than Phillips.
Been waiting for you to react to this. You are correct it's a modern day masterpiece. If you want to hear more of the same from Alter Bridge do "In Loving Memory" or "Words Darker Than Their Wings" (live from Royal Albert Hall. Or if you want to hear their heavier stuff do "Metalingus" or "Addicted to Pain"
Actually some "even darker and heavier" songs like still remains, show me a sign, fortress, cry of achilles, this side of fate, the other side, the last hero and island of fools are nice examples
I really enjoy watching people go through this journey on RUclips. Watching someone leave there comfort zone and enjoy various genres of music. I have and will always be a Metalhead don't get me wrong. King ktf and a couple others, but I won't promote different reaction channels here. I've found a lot of good hip hop artists that I have added to my play list and a lot of my favorite bands have been added to yours. The point I'm trying to make is music is a universal language and it doesn't matter who you are music is something we can all share. Strengthen our communication.
Bro if you want details in songs check out the band Elder. All of their songs are 8-13ish minutes and longer. Intricately layered guitars and grooving HEAVY bass and drums. The songs Hexe, Knot, Deadweight and Sanctuary give a good example of what each album sounds like. Please Preston Elder is the most slept-on band ever.
Matthew Howard I must be the only that doesn't like Shinedown's Simple Man. I like Shinedown, but I find myself pressing the skip button whenever I listen to Leave a Whisper. I always felt like Brent Smith is committing vocal overkill in "Look how much better I can sing this!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!" manner.
I love it when people do covers and put their souls into the song. Most songs that have been covered have 1 version that ends up better then the original, It may take 20 times to get that 1 good version but it does happen. Look at Simon & Garfunkel - The Sound of Silence (which I have loved since I was a kid) it was redone many times but then Disturbed covered it and they killed it with over 424million views
My buddies and i always have music playing. They think i don't talk much, like i'm the silent type. I just find listening to and appreciating the music is far better than what they have to say. Hence why i can appreciate your reactions.
I just found your channel tonight and have watched about 4 hours of videos. As a new subscriber can I suggest three songs. #1 Rammstein - Feuer Frei! - I just want to see your face when they come STRONG!!! #2 Mudvayne Dig - When I was heavy into powerlifting this was my goto song when I was going for a heavy lift. The PURE POWER in this song taps right into the adrenal gland and will amp you up. #3 Slipknot Surfacing - Again just to see your reaction to insanity personified. Thank you for entertaining me tonight, I love your channel.
Its as close to a perfect song as you can humanly get. If you were gonna give a masterclass in writing a great song this would be one of the best examples you could use! The instruments, the vocals, lyric writing, tension, buildup, and use of dynamics, relatable to the majority of people...It’s just perfect!
I feel the same way , Miles and Mark poured themselves out on this one . How could they never get any grammy nomination is proof that the music industry like many other things have lost thier heart. WHEN YOU CAN FEEL A SONG LIKE BLACKBIRD , it invokes very feeling in your soul , truly refreshing to see another person willing to step out of the stigma box and be so open with the way a composition makes them feel. Keep up the great work. If you get a chance , take a listen to BURN IT DOWN off thier debut album , tell me what you think.
Yes!! My dude got to Blackbird, glad you enjoyed it, knew you would ;) Blackbird has been compared to the Stairway to Heaven of our era, it's Alter Bridge's magnum opus. Beautiful song!
Please do more Alter Bridge! They are EVERY FUCKIN THING! SO underrated! They don't have a bad song in the bunch! My 1st AB songs were "Addicted To Pain", "Cry Of Achilles" & "Isolation". I'm telling ya man, listen to anything by AB, you'll see! And they are even better live! Check it! Rock on my brother! 💥🖤🆎🎼🤘
I was a fan of their first album. Then really didnt pay attention to the next albums that came after. This is the song that hooked me back in. Tremonti on the guitar is on another level. Myles' vocals are always on point. They have sooooo many good songs. They have some that just make you cry its so good. The album this song is off of is great, the whole damn thing. You must check out more. You will not be disappointed.
Thank you Preston! This song was voted as having the best guitar solo ever by Guitarist magazine. That subject is highly debatable as is any “best of” discussion but talk about a huge honor for Alter Bridge.
Myles Kennedy showed me emotion with his voice, Mark Tremonti showed me emotion with his guitar playing, and Preston showed me emotion with his facial expressions. Once again, best reaction for this song. You're the GOAT Preston!
Their lead guitarist is Mark Tremonti, if you ever wanna check out his band (Tremonti) he sings like a pro and the guitar is ridiculously good. He's coming to my city at the end of September and I'm excited asf lol
Yah man Preston, i love your reaction to Blackbird. Truly an epic & beautiful masterpiece. You felt it as i did. One of my favourite songs ever. Nice one bruh. Bless
Such a deep special song. Favorite band. Amazingly under rated. Largely due to most people not understanding the detail they're hearing here. Ab is master class. And your hearing it well for a rock newbie. Good taste bro
The gutarist is Mark Tremonti, or the Tremonster, one of the best guitarists of modern rock, you should check out the band, its called Tremonti, start off with You Waste Your Time
Yeah bro, everyone that I have watched a reaction to on this song Blackbird has said the same thing as you. It is truly a masterpiece big shout out to Alter Bridge
I've been a huge AB/Myles Kennedy fan since hearing "Brand New Start" and "Watch Over You" from ABII. Slash recognized Myles' amazing vocal range and just released the 3d CD with the Conspirators. They did a song live from their concert in Stoke (UK) called "Ghost" that I highly recommend. 🔥💋❤
I LOVE your reaction to Tool. I see in you what I felt when I first heard them in the mid 1990's. That are timeless and amazing, they're the Doors and the Beatles and The Rolling Stones and the Who, all ground up into this amazingly intricate web of art rock and post-modern metal. I could go on for HOURS. Three must listens I haven't seen yet from you, though you may have covered them, are Third Eye, Pushit, and (one of my all time favs) Flood. The singer, Maynard, he's 100% responsible for those lyrics. Geez... Where to start praising those, am I right??? Impeccable and complicated and beautiful, to say the least. I hope no one has suggested this yet, because the feelings you get with Tool, I got with Tool. Hell, I get them watching listening to them 20+ years later! But I have to tell you, there's a rabbit hole. An amazing and crazy world on the other side of Tool. It's Maynard's brain and it has a physical form. I look forward to watching you click that link! I kid you not, it qualifies as things you cannot unsee. And the song you'll hear is nothing like any other song you'll hear from his alter-ego band. Click the link. Welcome to the other side of the coin. Enjoy your flight. This is Puscifer. (headphones!) ruclips.net/video/JoisbHYe04I/видео.html
More Of Alter Bridge please!! Cry Of Achilles, Fortress or Words Darker Than Their Wings (the live version with The Parallax Orchestra!!!)... This songs Will make you sing!!
I'm late to the party, and rarely comment on videos, but having watched and liked many of your video's...I think you would enjoy anything Alter Bridge. I will be absolutely SHOCKED if that's not the case. Myles Kennedy has an amazingly powerful and clean voice. Additionally, the lead guitarist Mark Tremonti is one of the "modern/contemporary" guitar greats.
Bro two weeks ago I was happy for you reaching 62k. Lol Now your well on your way to 100k. I bet by Monday. I'd almost put money on it!! Congratulations brother, I know it's not free to do these! Thank You!!. My kids find you funny!
Preston seems like a genuinely solid dude.
@@njineermike He's so genuine. Other reaction's are more worried about how there subscribers view them. Preston doesn't miss a beat. To truly enjoy music you have to do that. And I like how when he's not a fan, he gives them a second chance.
@@njineermike yeah for sure! Would love to chill and listen to music with him for a day
The most underated modern rock band.

Alter Bridge - Words Darker Than Their Wings live at Royal Albert Hall
Incredible performance with an orchestra
Randy K. YEEES!!!
the high note is fokin awesome
@@Originalassi listened to that version like 50 times and I still get goosebumps when he hits that note
I 2nd this for SUREEEEE!!!! AB FOREVER!
Hells Yeah!

but death is not the problem... death is often the (only) solution... and the devil created the love... sooner or later it ever hurts...
Wut....?
Love that you found AB and Blackbird and it help save your life... Thank you for sharing that ❤️
I swear this song gets the same reaction out of everyone. It's gotta be one of my favorite songs of all time just solid as hell
Tommy Wood I swear I just watched like 7 reaction videos to it and they all praised the hell out of it, great fucking song, legendary solo, amazing band
Of course it would.
I love seeing other people enjoying my absolute favorite band. Everytime Myles Kennedy opens his mouth I get chills and Mark Tremonti is a guitar genius. I flippin love them!
I'm so excited you got to hear this amazing song... Myles Kennedy is unbelievable!

You gotta do Alter Bridge - Metalingus

PLEASE let your next AlterBridge song be Fortress!
Also Watch Over You, Cry of Achilles and The Wayward One.
I mean, any of their songs, really.
All these years later and I still love people hearing and truly feeling Blackbird. Thank you for giving credit where credit is due. Respect!
I love this song so much man. It's incredible, one of Alter Bridge's best, and that's saying a lot because they don't have anything close to a bad song. Awesome reaction bruh, glad you enjoyed it!!

I actually thought it was Corey the first time I heard this
David Craft and lajon Witherspoon!
And Corey doesn't have near the range of myles...
patrick perry Corey doesn’t sound anything like Myles
Pearl Jam - Black. You'll absolutely love it.
You deserve good reactions to your reaction. Great concentration without constant interruptions and genuine appreciation to a masterpiece. Good on you man.
Thank you for doing this. Each time I hear this song, it reminds me of my daughter we lost at the age of 13. Such a powerful song...
Tremonti & Kennedy have great chemistry & this result ❤ alterbridge
I’m glad u called it a masterpiece I think the same
This band actually considers this song one of there greatest accomplishments
You, my friend, are a real fan of music. Not many of you on RUclips. Keep it going!
My request is TESSERACT - NOCTURNE. They're like Tool meets Pink Floyd, but heavier. My absolute favorite band. Right up your alley!
Thanks for sharing this one, I've never heard it before. It was a Beautiful song and I knew you'd do a playback when they were shreddin on the guitar ;) But you're absolutely right Preston, it was Flawless. His voice is haunting and the lyrics were moving and the guitar work was Amazing, Loved it.
Patti Toole had you heard Alter Bridge before this? If not and you like this, you’re going to love a lot of their other work.
No I haven't and to be honest I only heard of this group when Preston reviewed them the first time. I'll check it out, Thanks. :)
Amen bro and +1 from me too
Black by Pearl jam next, please!!! Unplugged version!
Yes please!!!! Black! Unplugged 1992 Pearl Jam! Legendary
I was surprised no pearl jam yet!
I am shocked that you haven't done any rush yet ...also kill switch engaged yet. Oh or sevendust.
how can they sound like Nickelback when they started before them?
Watching people hear Alter Bridge and specifically Blackbird for the first time is so addictive. It's like watching someone experience a transformative moment. Great reaction!
Guns n Roses - Civil War
My Favorite GnR song by far but I think he will like November Rain more
Nice choice love that song
This is what I'm talking about brother! Alter Bridge are in my opinion, one of the best bands out there. And Myles Kennedy, what can I even say.
That Myles is the best vocalist in the world
EVER.
Goosebumps each and everytime
really happy for u man , u seem like a very geniune and honest person , and i can tell your reactions are authentic and not forced ,lets first get this 100k and then the milly isnt that far away if u keep putting out so much good content.. much love from Greece
Man this song is so freaking good. All their albums are impressive.
Yes Preston!! So glad you enjoyed that!! It really is a masterpiece. Gives me goosebumps just hearing you describe it that way. Love from the UK. React to more Alter Bridge. Metalingus, slip to the void, addicted to pain
Alter Bridge is a great, talented band. Cry of Achilles, Ties That Bind (really any song off the Blackbird album), or Metalingus
Been listening to this song since it came out, and it still gives me the goosebumps. I was blown away when moving back to USA and seeing how much more they are appreciated in a lot of Europe.
I really appreciate your taste of music man! Keep up the good work and keep surprising me with reactions to my favourite songs lol !!

One of the most under rated guitarists, MARK TREMONTI !!
Pink Floyd - Time. You’ll love it man. It’s got one of the most emotional and beautiful guitar solos ever!
Justin Giovanniello could not agree more. That solo is one of the best EVER. So much feel and emotion.
I may be wrong but I'm pretty sure Miles wrote this song when one of his closest friends died of cancer. The symbolism in the name blackbird itself is amazing.Hands down one of the greatest songs I've ever heard.
Back from work like 6.15 pm after taking a bath and see you reacting to this Band making me fell happy.

You are a true fan of music. I could tell by your reaction to that guitar solo. This is one of my favorite songs of all time.
For love of god why haven't we suggested " free bird " by Lnyrnd Skynyrd
Great song and by far their most popular but my favorite is Lynyrd Skynyrd-The Ballad of Curtis Loew
Free Bird and Simple Man are masterpieces
simple man is great but I do have to say Shinedown killed the cover of it
Matthew Howard I must be the only that doesn't like Shinedown's Simple Man. I like Shinedown, but I find myself pressing the skip button whenever I listen to Leave a Whisper. I always felt like Brent Smith is committing vocal overkill in "Look how much better I can sing this!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!" manner.
I love it when people do covers and put their souls into the song. Most songs that have been covered have 1 version that ends up better then the original, It may take 20 times to get that 1 good version but it does happen. Look at Simon & Garfunkel - The Sound of Silence (which I have loved since I was a kid) it was redone many times but then Disturbed covered it and they killed it with over 424million views
DEFTONES CHANGE ( IN THE HOUSE OF THE FLIES)!!!!!
Keep it going guys we all know this is a bad ass song she definitely needs to listen to!
Gotta pick a better one than that bro! Around the fur, digital bath, be quiet and drive..
I agree with you those are some good tracks!
Masterpiece it is ! What a band ! All 4 members brilliant musicians !
It sounds like heaven..... And his voice hits right into your soul
My buddies and i always have music playing. They think i don't talk much, like i'm the silent type. I just find listening to and appreciating the music is far better than what they have to say. Hence why i can appreciate your reactions.
I just found your channel tonight and have watched about 4 hours of videos. As a new subscriber can I suggest three songs. #1 Rammstein - Feuer Frei! - I just want to see your face when they come STRONG!!! #2 Mudvayne Dig - When I was heavy into powerlifting this was my goto song when I was going for a heavy lift. The PURE POWER in this song taps right into the adrenal gland and will amp you up. #3 Slipknot Surfacing - Again just to see your reaction to insanity personified. Thank you for entertaining me tonight, I love your channel.
Saw them live and the are just as good!! Favorite band by far!!
Had no clue you did a video for this song!!! Yessssss
This song helped me get over my grandmother's death. This song is pure magic to me.
Its as close to a perfect song as you can humanly get. If you were gonna give a masterclass in writing a great song this would be one of the best examples you could use! The instruments, the vocals, lyric writing, tension, buildup, and use of dynamics, relatable to the majority of people...It’s just perfect!
I feel the same way , Miles and Mark poured themselves out on this one . How could they never get any grammy nomination is proof that the music industry like many other things have lost thier heart. WHEN YOU CAN FEEL A SONG LIKE BLACKBIRD , it invokes very feeling in your soul , truly refreshing to see another person willing to step out of the stigma box and be so open with the way a composition makes them feel. Keep up the great work. If you get a chance , take a listen to BURN IT DOWN off thier debut album , tell me what you think.
Yes!! My dude got to Blackbird, glad you enjoyed it, knew you would ;) Blackbird has been compared to the Stairway to Heaven of our era, it's Alter Bridge's magnum opus. Beautiful song!
Please do more Alter Bridge! They are EVERY FUCKIN THING!
SO underrated! They don't have a bad song in the bunch!
My 1st AB songs were "Addicted To Pain", "Cry Of Achilles" & "Isolation". I'm telling ya man, listen to anything by AB, you'll see! And they are even better live! Check it! Rock on my brother! 💥🖤🆎🎼🤘
do system of a down - aerials ... you would love it
Killer song
Dude I wanna say you do helluva reactions....much props to ya.
ABSOLUTE MASTERPIECE 🤘🏼
I was a fan of their first album. Then really didnt pay attention to the next albums that came after. This is the song that hooked me back in. Tremonti on the guitar is on another level. Myles' vocals are always on point. They have sooooo many good songs. They have some that just make you cry its so good.
The album this song is off of is great, the whole damn thing.
You must check out more. You will not be disappointed.
everytime at the solo i feel like i see the black bird.. flying out real fast and enjoying the freedom
Thank you Preston! This song was voted as having the best guitar solo ever by Guitarist magazine. That subject is highly debatable as is any “best of” discussion but talk about a huge honor for Alter Bridge.
Open there eyes has a awesome solo
Myles Kennedy showed me emotion with his voice, Mark Tremonti showed me emotion with his guitar playing, and Preston showed me emotion with his facial expressions. Once again, best reaction for this song. You're the GOAT Preston!
Their lead guitarist is Mark Tremonti, if you ever wanna check out his band (Tremonti) he sings like a pro and the guitar is ridiculously good. He's coming to my city at the end of September and I'm excited asf lol
Yah man Preston, i love your reaction to Blackbird. Truly an epic & beautiful masterpiece. You felt it as i did. One of my favourite songs ever. Nice one bruh. Bless
Such a deep special song. Favorite band. Amazingly under rated. Largely due to most people not understanding the detail they're hearing here. Ab is master class. And your hearing it well for a rock newbie. Good taste bro
IMO Miles has THE BEST voice in contemporary music!
Alter bridge - in loving memory.
You Will cry Just like me always
Subscribed!
The gutarist is Mark Tremonti, or the Tremonster, one of the best guitarists of modern rock, you should check out the band, its called Tremonti, start off with You Waste Your Time
You know your music young man, respect.
Yeah bro, everyone that I have watched a reaction to on this song Blackbird has said the same thing as you. It is truly a masterpiece big shout out to Alter Bridge
I've been a huge AB/Myles Kennedy fan since hearing "Brand New Start" and "Watch Over You" from ABII. Slash recognized Myles' amazing vocal range and just released the 3d CD with the Conspirators. They did a song live from their concert in Stoke (UK) called "Ghost" that I highly recommend. 🔥💋❤
As soon as this popped up I could immediately tell when the “HOLD ON BRUUUUUUHHH” was gonna come in😂
Yessss!!! One of their best songs!
FYI--the musicians from Alterbridge used to be in the band Creed, they just got a new lead singer & changed the band name.
I LOVE your reaction to Tool. I see in you what I felt when I first heard them in the mid 1990's. That are timeless and amazing, they're the Doors and the Beatles and The Rolling Stones and the Who, all ground up into this amazingly intricate web of art rock and post-modern metal. I could go on for HOURS.
Three must listens I haven't seen yet from you, though you may have covered them, are Third Eye, Pushit, and (one of my all time favs) Flood.
The singer, Maynard, he's 100% responsible for those lyrics. Geez... Where to start praising those, am I right??? Impeccable and complicated and beautiful, to say the least.
I hope no one has suggested this yet, because the feelings you get with Tool, I got with Tool. Hell, I get them watching listening to them 20+ years later!
But I have to tell you, there's a rabbit hole. An amazing and crazy world on the other side of Tool. It's Maynard's brain and it has a physical form. I look forward to watching you click that link! I kid you not, it qualifies as things you cannot unsee.
And the song you'll hear is nothing like any other song you'll hear from his alter-ego band.
Click the link.
Welcome to the other side of the coin. Enjoy your flight.
This is Puscifer. (headphones!)

Masterpiece indeed!!!❤️
And Ben, you are absolutely correct....the single most underrated band today
Jinjer - Pisces Live Session
YES!
Hell yea
More Of Alter Bridge please!! Cry Of Achilles, Fortress or Words Darker Than Their Wings (the live version with The Parallax Orchestra!!!)... This songs Will make you sing!!
I'm late to the party, and rarely comment on videos, but having watched and liked many of your video's...I think you would enjoy anything Alter Bridge. I will be absolutely SHOCKED if that's not the case. Myles Kennedy has an amazingly powerful and clean voice. Additionally, the lead guitarist Mark Tremonti is one of the "modern/contemporary" guitar greats.
You nailed it. That's the reaction pretty much everyone gets.
Bro, these guys played in my living room in Memphis about 10 years ago. I can send a link. Won a contest. Myles is ridiculous how talented he is.
Words darker than their wings live
You actually did it!!! Thanks brother!
