Alter Bridge have always been caught between a rock and a hard place. Creed fans didn't buy into them the way they should have because they were a reminder that Creed broke up. Everyone who hates Creed didn't give them a chance because of their association with Creed. In the meantime, they just keep putting ot great albums with limited radio support. They're huge in Europe btw.
Jesus Haro it’s so fucking true though. It happened to me and even a good friend of mine too but when I finically listened to them I was in love same with my buddy it just took him an exta 6 years to get on board.
man, i didnt even know that creed moved on and formed alterbridge until way too late, if i had known i would have been listening to them for far longer than i have. absolutely love them
Mainstream radio sucks. They play the same stuff day in and day out. Apps like Spotify are the way to go. They introduced me to a lot of artists lately but I also get to hear Alter Bridge, Tremonti and my other favorite Adelitas Way.
Well done guys! I hope you appreciate your "ear". You both are very good at picking up subtle variations and changes, that's a pretty rare talent. You both would have made excellent theory students! This song is pretty unique, it is written in the key of F#maj and uses a D#min as a relative minor. I'd have to look but I'm guessing they are tuned down a half step. Anyway, Myles and Tremonti are excellent composers and tend to phrase their chord progression using the relative minor to bridge octave changes. This is what you are picking up I think. As for the question of whether or not this is "metal"... No, it's music. It's real, honest music. It is conceved in emotion and composed with great skill and honesty. Like Tupac, or Johnny Cash, or Miles Davis, or Prince... You can categorize it with a genre, but at the end of the day it is art.
Nemesis 11FP love this comment so much. I wish I knew more about how to play/the theory of music. I only took 5 years of piano lessons. Lol. Hearing people talk about the how’s & what’s of the music is so interesting to me. ❤️
@@ard-janlubbers Miles has a Vocal Range of ~4 Octaves while Corey has ~5 - sure they are hard to compare since they are so different - but imho it's wrong to claim that he isn't anywhere close
Hey guys. Just to let you know, alter bridges two guitarists are Mark Tremonti and Myles Kennedy (the vocalist), with Mark playing lead and Myles playing rhythm. In terms of the solos, Myles plays the first solo and Mark played the second solo. Nice reaction guys. I like the way you guys are actively talking throughout instead of some other reactions where they just stare into space for the whole song, occasionally commenting on something.
Myles Kennedy does a lot of the guitar stuff too-- especially acoustically in their songs. Mark backs up Myles on vocals-- a killer vocal combo. He, Mark, Brian and Scott are one of the best groups of musicians in rock/metal.
They should check out the band Tremonti to hear Mark's vocal abilities. There are times when he almost **ALMOST** sounds like Chris Cornell and that's some of the highest praise you can pay to a rock vocalist. He doesn't have Chris' range and intensity, but he's got a bit of the timbre and emotion. He's also a ripping guitarist, of course, and a really, REALLY good songwriter.
Myles is a very good guitarist in his own right and Tremonti is a very good vocalist in his own right. They make an amazing power duo. They make each other better.
Yes! Guys, Words Darker than Their Wings, wear your brown pants. It was written about a conversation between Myles and Mark about faith, Myles was having a lot of questions since his dads passing, and Mark is saying dont lose faith, maybe there is something out there, and Myles and Mark are even singing to each other in the song like they're having the conversation its epic!
Just adding in. So the lower vocals in the chorus is Mark Tremonti. A lot of the weird guitar sounds added in are Myles Kennedy. Myles actually does the first bluesy solo and Mark does the second shred solo. These 2 guys together have to be the best lyric and guitar duo I've heard. The more you get into them the more complicated you will realize they are. Mark Tremonti actually has a solo band called Tremonti. Definitely a must to check out.
Also guys, one more thing. The drummer, Scott Phillips, his nickname is Flipp, he doesn't get enough love. I saw Alter Bridge live last December, and the guy plays with so much heart. Within four songs of the set, the guy was SWEATING. He really puts his all into his drumming and doesn't get enough respect!
Jordan Wolfson can't agree more. Saw them twice and his energy is just through the roof. Watch the RUclips video The Lighter Side of AB, he's the clown of the group, such a great sense of humor
Real reaction, love this! The “slowed up” drumming you guys refer to is usually called “half time”, where it’s the same tempo but the snare is on the third beat instead of on the second and forth :) it’s a cool feel change!!
Guys, this band hits me hard. Mark Tremonti is under rated but he’s incredible, Myles Kennedy is the best vocalist in music if you ask me. There’s a song that they wrote that is so special to me called In Loving Memory. Mark wrote it for his mother that passed and have lost my mother 2 years ago, I can’t listen to it without crying. There’s a live version I’d love you guys to check out so you can feel how powerful Myles’s vocals are live. Thanks.
Hands down 100% agree with every word. In Loving Memory is my kryptonite and change my whole perspective on music back when i was a young kid and still to this day. This band is literally the number one reason i fell in love with music!! love seeing them get credit where its due.
Weirdly when I first heard blackbird parts of the lyrics made me cry for my mother She died when I was 11. And the “some day I too will fly... and find u again... “ 😐😐😐 Heavy
Their finest album in my opinion. It is absolutely fucking stacked. The three titans in Fortress, Achilles, and Calm The Fire. Great all the way through.
The album got better as you play through the tracks. Quite the emotional journey it takes you on. Very rare to see (hear that rather) in rock/metal. Been a fan since the first ever single "find the real" hit the air waves in 2004. Life changer
This is what you get when you have a bunch of guys that just know how to write melodic kick ass music. It all works perfect together. Everything just fits! Myles played the intro, the first solo, and Mark played the outro solo. Killer job guys and indeed an amazing band!
Ya, similar to Blackbird. You can always tell Myles more bluesy and soul-ful style to Marks much more technical but still having a lot of feel. Both are very talented and are great together.
I'm a little late to the party but oh well! This band is so disgustingly good I can't believe it. That little acoustic intro was played by Myles. He and Mark Tremonti are both amazing guitarists, and they like to swap during solos, that amazing solo in Blackbird was played by them both, the 2 solo's here too. Trust me guys, every song from these guys is so good, you won't be disappointed no matter what song you pick next. They can do no wrong. I'm what you'd probably call a "music elitist" and I can safely say this is one of the best, if not the best band that has ever come out of hard rock. Blackbird's solo is considered by many to be the best solo in the world, beating even Stairway To Heaven. And I fully agree with that. They are critically acclaimed, people just overlook them due to the fact that everyone besides Myles was a Creed member. They have nothing to do with Creed now. Unrecognizable change and evolution in quality and talent. Be sure to check out the title track from "Fortress" next, it's one of their most "epic" songs, just like Cry of Achilles and Blackbird. You'll be blown away I promise! Thanks for the reaction guys awesome as always, you made my day :)
Zeuzo You should see Kennedy live in the band he has with Slash The Conspirators. It's a little bit different sound then the Alter stuff but Kennedy's vocals are just as dynamic and powerful. He has incredible showmanship live too! Even his new solo album Year of the Tiger just shows how he, vocal wise, is like a rock frontman of the past. Defenitely reminiscent of Robert Plant and a little bit of the late, great Chris Cornell! His stuff from The Mayfield Four is very good too!
Fun Fact:Myles is a former guitar instructor,he actually gave lessons to both Mark Tremonti and Slash.There's a video of him,jamming with Paul Reed Smith(the founder of PRS Guitars),where he does some tasty jazz playing.
Id love for them to listen to fortress to see if they can notice the alternating solos. Most people that video it live even get it wrong. Isolation would be great too for pure heavy.
The video is funny but it cut's out half the drum intro into a fade-in and it's pretty distracting if you are trying to really focus on the music itself.
If they haven't heard the song, we already know they'll love it. They we're into Ain't Talking bout Love. What kinda asshole doesn't like the Van Halen classics?
Calm The Fire Alter Bridge. Covers Racism, especially beautiful song with stellar vocals, almost next level even for them. They performed it in my city after we had riots, brought tears to lots of eyes. They're a rock band, btw. Mark likes some metal in his solos, but I'd classify them as a killer rock band. Every member is so talented. As good if not better live, they are magical. Calm the Fire is a perfect example of that magic.
The term you're looking for in the second half of the chorus is "half-time". Same tempo or 'beat', but the rhythm within it is effectively playing half speed. Usually it's only the rhythm instruments while the original melody continues at the original timing over the top. Great review btw!
"Dust" is a great choice ( I'm assuming you mean the title song and not the whole album, lol). It's more "ballady" than most of Tremonti's stuff but it's a GREAT song and a good demonstration of Mark's vocals. It's also some great lyrics and it resonates pretty strongly with me. It's a lot like Blackbird in that it's about losing someone and it's just full of great melody and a GREAT, passionate guitar solo.
Tremonti's stuff is amazing Just like Alter Bridge not one song I don't like... waiting for the new release pre-ordered the boxed set months ago. 🤘 Things I've seen is an absolute fav. Dark Trip & Brains A Dying Machine is Killer! Take you with me is phenomenal.
Oh? Y'all think the vocal delivery and instruments are hot on this song!? PLEASE DO METALINGUS BY ALTER BRIDGE...if either of you were or are wrestling fans you might actually recognize the song but please...let that be the next alter bridge song you do! It is so good and I really think you guys will enjoy it! Always keep up with your guys videos and please keep it up! 😃
Federico Guzmán yes, I remember first hearing it through wrestling and it being one of my top 3 favorite entrance songs! When I finally found out who wrote it I was like, holy shit!? THIS is alter bridge!? I've been severely lackin!! And had to check out their other stuff lol
I will have to check this band out closer. Myles Kennedy is from Spokane, my town. I have meant to check Alter Bridge out because of him. I am 64 years old so I missed them when they came out. Like your channel as it exposes us all to things out of our comfort zone.
I really think you guys would enjoy some Chevelle. Kind of Indie alternative metal scene but a really fantastic song is called The Clincher. Always keeping it free thinking guys 👍
You have only scratched the surface of great Alter Bridge songs. Metalingus, White Knuckles, Slip to the Void, All Hope is Gone, Bleed it Dry, Fortress, The Other Side, Island of Fools or The Last Hero should be a part of your Alter Bridge Pt. 3
qazrapt - Words Darker Than Their Wings; Still Remains - pretty much the whole AB111 album - or Lover off same Fortress album I could go on and on this band way too incredible
I like to classify alter bridge as the literal “bridge” between what I call “radio friendly red state rock” and the likes of the technical musicianship and experimentation seen in prog and some of the other elitists genres of metal that really only specify niche vibes. The deeper veins of contemporary rock and metal is often misunderstood by those who don’t normally listen to it because it is straight confrontation, a vibe, feeling, perspective or vocabulary of sounds separate and intense in some cases because a lot is an expression of suffering ,confusion, or for the sake of shock value. Red state rock is bands like saliva, seether, theory for a deadman, nickleback, shine down, puddle of mudd. Basically all the bands your mom could enjoy on the ride to middle school. Like stadium country, but with some edge. That said, alter bridge is sick af, very underrated.
I've gotta say George your assessment of most fans in the extreme or hardcore scenes reasoning is pretty spot on. Most anything deemed feminine, is frowned upon. Part of the macho, misogynistic aspects of that culture that I don't care for despite my love of the music. Only recently checked out this track and it blew me away!!! I Wasn't a fan of Myles Kennedy for some time, only now just coming around. Always liked Mark Tremonti's playing (even though I wasn 't a fan of Scott Stapp) and in Alter Bridge he shines!!! For my recommendation, again it's the Dillinger Escape Plan When Good Dogs Do Bad Things. I know it might not be either of your guys styles, but I'm interested in hearing your thoughts and seeing your reactions to it!!! Definitely have to experience this as least once!
Love watching you review Alter Bridge!! Seriously they do not have a bad song. All super talented & passionate guys. If you feel the emotion in Mark’s guitar solos you should watch his face when he plays! 😍😍😍 Thanks for another exciting AB review. Makes me happy to see others reactions, especially when they are musicians themselves & can hear talent no matter what the genre. I think you were spot on about why they are not more popular with metal heads.....
Words Darker than their Wings and Breathe Again by AB....Two songs that really are the pinnacle of Myles Kennedy and his vocal abilities. If I had to choose, start with words darker than their wings but breathe again has one of the best vocal solos I’ve ever heard
Been an Alter Bridge fan since the very beginning in 2004 and I love watching people who have never heard of them react to this song. It makes me feel like I'm hearing it for the first time again myself and even 11 years on I still get chills hearing Myles sing. Alter Bridge may not be appreciated that much now but 20, 30, 40, 50 years down the line this song will be viewed as a rock n roll masterpiece!
Chris Johnson I truly believe that Blackbird is the greatest song ever written. Every time somebody listens to that song it just blows them away and stays with them. At some point in the future Alter Bridge will sit with the legends like Metallica and Led Zeppelin. I can't wait to see that day.
One of the things that I like of this band is the different types of styles that they have in each album that they made... Rock songs: Metalingus, FIND THE REAL, Addicted To Pain Epic songs: BLACKBIRD, Fortress, The Last Hero. Soft songs: Watch Over You, In Loving Memory, ALL ENDS WELL. Thanks for the dedication of listen this greats songs!! A hug from Valdivia, Chile!!
Maaaaaaan, Sa-Roc and Alter Bridge? You're spoiling us! A lot of people in the metal community agree with you guys. Mark Tremonti and Miles Kennedy are one of the most talented duo. Their styles merge so well, and Alter Bridge is really good. Btw, they've toured together with Gojira, one of the best bills of last year.
Juan Hernández they are much more popular in Europe & South America with the “metal heads”. I don’t know why they have not become as popular in America!
Now you are ready for their newest album; "The last Hero" please play : Show me the leader. Myles Kennedy ; arguably the best singer in modern rock metal. Mark Tremonti : one of the best shredders out there with a great voice himself. Both have brought out solo albums which are great.
I hear ya guys...but what about something classic off Peace Sells? Like...Good Mourning-Black Friday...Wake Up Dead...technical masterpiece of an album...
Exactly! Why are people obsessed over spamming all these reactors to all copy the same songs over and over again? Just glancing at these react channels, you'd think there were only a few dozen songs EVER written in all of metal. Hanger 18 is obviously an amazing song but I'd prefer to see the guys check out something different too so I'll second, "Good Mourning/Black Friday"
Exactly! Megadeth has more than just one album and we've already heard two from Rust in Peace, no need for a third, at least not in a row. I really think they'd dig The Conjuring or Wake up Dead because they have some groove to the riffs. As much as I love Black Friday, I think it's too brutal and fast for them
People need to expand their horizons on all of the great music out there. You guys do a fantastic job of exposing yourselves to multiple genres, which give you new and interesting perspectives that you wouldn't have otherwise.
Alter Bridge definitely has more songs that are reaction worthy. Fortress, Addicted to Pain, Metalingus, Slip to the Void, Calm the Fire, Waters Rising, Ties that Bind and Broken Wings are all great songs you should definitely listen too.
I gotta admit, one of the main reasons I've subscribed to your channel is because of your reaction to Blackbird! PLEASE give us some more reactions to Alter Bridge, That band is the reason i wake up every morning!!!!
I think they're trying to wait to get back to Tool just to have some variety. They've had to have seen The Pot a million times in the comment sections by now. But yes please!!
If you like Myles Kennedy's voice, check out some of his collaborations with Slash. I'd recommend "Back to Cali" for the groove or "Starlight" which is an awesome power ballad.
Both acoustic intro and first solo was played by by Myles Kennedy :) Cheers from Poland, hope to see more AB reaction videos (Calm The Fire, Waters Rising, The Last Hero, Cradle to the Grave, Fortress, Bleed It Dry, Slip To The Void or the MAINSTREAM songs: Open Your Eyes, My Champion, Watch Over You, In Loving Memory, Ghosts of Days Gone By).
Lost in Vegas please try out Dust by TREMONTI(Tremonti's band) Brilliant track and brilliant band yet very underrated. Would be great if you do a reaction video. You will be surprised to see how much of a good singer Tremonti is.
Alter Bridge is one of the greatest bands of our time, they show us Hard Rock in a Modern Jacket. Their composing is amazing, and each individual is carrying his weight in the band. 10 years ago I randomly found them on youtube and I've never stopped listening
Coming back a year later to rewatch because Cry of Achilles just won Guitarworld solo of the decade, and Tremonster (Mark Tremonti) guitarist of the decade!
If Myles Kennedy joined dream theater instead of James LaBrie I would die of happiness before they could even release a song. myles kennedy is such an incredible vocalist
Ha,never thought of that ,but oh yeah..ain't got a massive problem with James but I get why DT would maybe be a better live band with someone else,and Myles would be perfect.
vhenry75 Same here I don't have a huge problem with LaBrie but I know he's not nearly as good as his fellow musicians. And I can't handle all the cringe videos of LaBrie being awful at live shows.
Not only Myles Kennedy is an amazing singer, he's also an amazing guitar player. And that kinda falls under the radar because the guitar spotlight falls over Mark Tremonti. I've seen Myles playing live and that guy is a beast on guitar. Like it was said in a previous comment. Myles was the one who recorded that Flamenco guitar intro. The point about mainstream appeal that George was mentioning. They might not be very popular in North America. But in Europe these guys are HUUUGEEEE.
Since you guys like Alter Bridge, you should really give a second shot to Dream Theater. They're the 90s forerunner to bands like this. Try an easy one: "Pull Me Under" (which you might recognize if you ever played original Guitar Hero). Love the show, as always, fellas. 🤘
I myself would love to see you two fine gentlemen react to Type O Negative. And I'm confident many of your other Metal-leaning subscribers would agree. My own preferred list: - Black Number 1 - Christian Woman - We Hate Everyone - Love You to Death - Unsuccessfully Coping With the Natural Beauty of Infidelity (Although strangely beautiful, this one is 13min long, so I'd understand if you want something shorter) Their vocalist, Peter Steele (RIP), is my #1 singer of all time.. Anyway, I'll let the aforementioned subscribers get their input on which song if they'd like.
Saw Myles Kennedy and his guitarist Tim perform this acoustically on his solo tour in London. It was incredible! You should catch Alterbridge on their next tour. You will NOT regret it!
Slip to the Void by Alter Bridge is an amazing example of how good they are at change ups and giving a song a unique style and sound. Definitely would recommend giving it a listen.
Focus- Hocus Pocus live version This is just a tongue in cheek request to see your reaction think it would be hilarious lol Btw I binge watched all your videos when I discovered you a few days ago and you youys are so awesome. Seeing your genuine reactions when the music speaks to you speaks to me
A little bit of interesting information - Alter Bridge were named after a bridge near Tremonti’s hometown. As a child, Tremonti was warned to never cross that bridge because it led to the darker part of the city. Perfect name because a lot of these guys’ songs touch on dark subjects but provide a silver lining. This song, in particular, is kind of a throwback to their third album which is a concept album about a character struggling to find their place in a world full of emptiness. This song is kind of speaking to that character telling him to never give up after all that he’s been through, because something beautiful is still alive. You should react to one of the songs from that third album. I suggest either Isolation or Words Darker Than Their Wings.
Those of us who are enlightened about music in general, LOVE This Band. I'm 63 yrs old and come from the Hendrix, Cream, Led Zep era but have a LOT appreciation for these current bands who have taken it do another level. Also...You two crazy dudes are FUN to watch and love to see you react. Keep it up, you have a new fan, love your entertainment. OG ROCKSTAR
Alter Bridge have always been caught between a rock and a hard place. Creed fans didn't buy into them the way they should have because they were a reminder that Creed broke up.

Selfish of me but I love that get to see them in a smaller venue every time they come to town when they should be playing arenas!
You nailed it.
man, i didnt even know that creed moved on and formed alterbridge until way too late, if i had known i would have been listening to them for far longer than i have. absolutely love them

Dont apologize Miles Kennedy is the best rock vocalist of this era .
Druid Hugger my favorite
You are 100% right, i totally agree. Keep rockin' bro
Corey Taylor is slightly better imho but Miley Kennedy sure is right there at the top
Hannes Henkelmann corey taylor is good at what he is doing but he isn’t anywhere close to Myles
@@ard-janlubbers Miles has a Vocal Range of ~4 Octaves while Corey has ~5 - sure they are hard to compare since they are so different - but imho it's wrong to claim that he isn't anywhere close
Alter Bridge is that kind of band that had no bad song, each one is unique and awesome. Great reaction.

I like the way you guys are actively talking throughout instead of some other reactions where they just stare into space for the whole song, occasionally commenting on something.
ThisOmnivore 50 spot on, the Blackbird solo is performed by them both. You can hear the point in the solo where Mark takes over 👌
Also Mark Tremonti does backing vocals on just about every track. That is the layering you hear.
Words darker than their wings... The last live version... You'll have an eargasm...
Edoardo Alves absolutely. Just an INCREDIBLE version if a great song
100% it would be cut at the high note
I'M STILL WAITING
Bruhhhh where is it??? Y’all need to do this one
Yes
Myles Kennedy does a lot of the guitar stuff too-- especially acoustically in their songs. Mark backs up Myles on vocals-- a killer vocal combo. He, Mark, Brian and Scott are one of the best groups of musicians in rock/metal.

I couldnt be more exited for his next album
Myles is a very good guitarist in his own right and Tremonti is a very good vocalist in his own right. They make an amazing power duo. They make each other better.
Sophia Bogard Mark Tremonti is one of the bast guitarists of all time
@@gavinladue4901 What's your point? No one said otherwise.
Lead singer Myles Kennedy is also an amazing guita player. The opening acoustic is Myles then the electric in the opening is Tremonti
Yes! Guys, Words Darker than Their Wings, wear your brown pants. It was written about a conversation between Myles and Mark about faith, Myles was having a lot of questions since his dads passing, and Mark is saying dont lose faith, maybe there is something out there, and Myles and Mark are even singing to each other in the song like they're having the conversation its epic!
Heath Barkley yes yes yes!! I love that one!!!
Live version at the Royal Albert Hall is one of the best live performances I’ve ever seen, it’s absolutely amazing
Just adding in. So the lower vocals in the chorus is Mark Tremonti. A lot of the weird guitar sounds added in are Myles Kennedy.

Myles does both vocals in the chorus tho
On top of that, Myles has been doing a lot of vocal work with big hitters like Slash as well.
Myles also does the acoustic intro
Jon Reeves Nailed it.
No, that's not Mark lol. That's just Myles dubbed in at a different octave.
Also guys, one more thing. The drummer, Scott Phillips, his nickname is Flipp, he doesn't get enough love. I saw Alter Bridge live last December, and the guy plays with so much heart. Within four songs of the set, the guy was SWEATING. He really puts his all into his drumming and doesn't get enough respect!
Jordan Wolfson can't agree more. Saw them twice and his energy is just through the roof. Watch the RUclips video The Lighter Side of AB, he's the clown of the group, such a great sense of humor
His work with Projected seems to let him unleash more as well
Actually. He is the weakest link. By far. He fits in well. But it's nothing spectacular.
@@jasonyoung7955 just because he isnt flashy doesnt make him a poor musician. Drumming takes patience. And tons of it.
Jordan Wolfson Right on...Flip is awesome and very underrated! 😊🤘
It’s both Myles Kennedy & Mark Tremonti on guitars. Mark is the harder riff & Myles has the Spanish flair in this one.
Real reaction, love this! The “slowed up” drumming you guys refer to is usually called “half time”, where it’s the same tempo but the snare is on the third beat instead of on the second and forth :) it’s a cool feel change!!
Anthony Barone yeah, he basically went from backbeat to downbeat.
Guys, this band hits me hard. Mark Tremonti is under rated but he’s incredible, Myles Kennedy is the best vocalist in music if you ask me. There’s a song that they wrote that is so special to me called In Loving Memory. Mark wrote it for his mother that passed and have lost my mother 2 years ago, I can’t listen to it without crying. There’s a live version I’d love you guys to check out so you can feel how powerful Myles’s vocals are live. Thanks.
The Grinder you are not wrong
Hands down 100% agree with every word. In Loving Memory is my kryptonite and change my whole perspective on music back when i was a young kid and still to this day. This band is literally the number one reason i fell in love with music!! love seeing them get credit where its due.
i love seeing that mark was classed as underrated a year ago and now he’s been titled as the best guitarist of the decade
Ya he played the Larry the cable guy theme song
Weirdly when I first heard blackbird parts of the lyrics made me cry for my mother
She died when I was 11.
And the “some day I too will fly... and find u again... “
😐😐😐
Heavy
The whole Fortress album is a masterpiece... You should run through the whole thing.
avalentino73 - Yes I totally agree! Top to bottom an amazing album!
Their finest album in my opinion. It is absolutely fucking stacked. The three titans in Fortress, Achilles, and Calm The Fire. Great all the way through.
The album got better as you play through the tracks. Quite the emotional journey it takes you on. Very rare to see (hear that rather) in rock/metal. Been a fan since the first ever single "find the real" hit the air waves in 2004. Life changer
100%. Fortress is a fantastic album and my favorite song on it is the titled song Fortress.
The first time I listened to it front to back was driving alone at night. It was magical.
You guys have officially become appointment TV in my household
Alter Bridge - Metalingus...that’s the shit! :D
I get that it's popular because of Edge, but that song might be a step down after "Cry of Achilles". :D
The rated R superstar EDGE!!!!
@@SairajRKamath most definitely is a step down after this!
"Last Hero" or " this side of fate" is what they need to do next
Their best song!
Can't wait for them to react to Metalingus.
This is what you get when you have a bunch of guys that just know how to write melodic kick ass music. It all works perfect together. Everything just fits!
Myles played the intro, the first solo, and Mark played the outro solo.
Killer job guys and indeed an amazing band!
Ya, similar to Blackbird. You can always tell Myles more bluesy and soul-ful style to Marks much more technical but still having a lot of feel. Both are very talented and are great together.

They are critically acclaimed, people just overlook them due to the fact that everyone besides Myles was a Creed member. They have nothing to do with Creed now. Unrecognizable change and evolution in quality and talent. Be sure to check out the title track from "Fortress" next, it's one of their most "epic" songs, just like Cry of Achilles and Blackbird. You'll be blown away I promise! Thanks for the reaction guys awesome as always, you made my day :)
Zeuzo You should see Kennedy live in the band he has with Slash The Conspirators. It's a little bit different sound then the Alter stuff but Kennedy's vocals are just as dynamic and powerful. He has incredible showmanship live too! Even his new solo album Year of the Tiger just shows how he, vocal wise, is like a rock frontman of the past. Defenitely reminiscent of Robert Plant and a little bit of the late, great Chris Cornell! His stuff from The Mayfield Four is very good too!
Fun Fact:Myles is a former guitar instructor,he actually gave lessons to both Mark Tremonti and Slash.There's a video of him,jamming with Paul Reed Smith(the founder of PRS Guitars),where he does some tasty jazz playing.
Amen!
Adam W I know everything that Myles has ever put out bud! 😊
Id love for them to listen to fortress to see if they can notice the alternating solos. Most people that video it live even get it wrong. Isolation would be great too for pure heavy.
when it comes to Alter Bridge... I've NEVER "nexted" one of their songs every one of their songs is so good. never skipped
FreedumFries
Same here
Hot for Teacher - Van Halen - Iconic Drum and guitar riffs.
Paul Hudgins and the video
The video is funny but it cut's out half the drum intro into a fade-in and it's pretty distracting if you are trying to really focus on the music itself.
If they haven't heard the song, we already know they'll love it. They we're into Ain't Talking bout Love. What kinda asshole doesn't like the Van Halen classics?
Alter Bridge - Slip to the Void. Probably my favorite song by them
Cursed Gamer the first song of theirs I heard. I've been hooked since. 👍
Amazing song. Super dark.
I have to agree with that song choice BUT I like Wayward One just a little bit more personally.
I love the beginning of that song
Man AB3 (and all their other albuns) is just overall amazing
Calm The Fire Alter Bridge. Covers Racism, especially beautiful song with stellar vocals, almost next level even for them. They performed it in my city after we had riots, brought tears to lots of eyes. They're a rock band, btw. Mark likes some metal in his solos, but I'd classify them as a killer rock band. Every member is so talented. As good if not better live, they are magical. Calm the Fire is a perfect example of that magic.
Wow thanks for the recommendation, that's an awesome song, i can imagine how incredible that must be live!
Calm the Fire might be the best song in their catalog, and that is a hard decision to make.
TOOL - 10,000 Days
Alter Bridge - Watch over you
Deep Purple - Soldier of Fortune
Led Zeppelin - When the levee breaks
Metallica - My friend of misery
emilio jeje My Friend Of Misery would be great if these guys could ever record a solo section without skipping through it.
Gotta keep mentioning "The Pot" by Tool. You guys are gonna flip out for that bassline.
I'll second the FUCK out of this. Hell of a groove in this one
yes!!
YES please
The term you're looking for in the second half of the chorus is "half-time". Same tempo or 'beat', but the rhythm within it is effectively playing half speed. Usually it's only the rhythm instruments while the original melody continues at the original timing over the top. Great review btw!
Audioslave
Show Me How to Live
Heavy with beautiful vocals by the late Chris Cornell.
yes yes yes
Audioslave !!!! Such a good and groovy band!
Yeah this is a fantastic song, definitely one they should do. In my opinion it's both the catchiest and most badass song on the album
Yes! I just want to write the same, but You was faster! ;) I Hope they gonna do a reaction video!
TheConstant yes this, his vocals are on incredible
I've been a metalhead for about 10 years now, and Alter Bridge is hands down my favorite band of all time.
Love the reaction as always, guys!
This is one of my favorite AB songs. The entire "Fortress" album is a friggin masterpiece!!! Amazing band, amazing group of guys.
I agree with you 💯
Mark Tremonti also has his own band that he does the lead guitar and the vocals for called"Tremonti." Y'all should check out "Dust"
Mark's band kicks ass!! Can't wait to hear their new record. Hope LiV gets around to checking them out!
My favourite from Tremonti is definitly dying machine, though dust is undeniably amazing as well
"Dust" is a great choice ( I'm assuming you mean the title song and not the whole album, lol). It's more "ballady" than most of Tremonti's stuff but it's a GREAT song and a good demonstration of Mark's vocals. It's also some great lyrics and it resonates pretty strongly with me. It's a lot like Blackbird in that it's about losing someone and it's just full of great melody and a GREAT, passionate guitar solo.
They would love my favourite Tremonti song Catching Fire!
Tremonti's stuff is amazing Just like Alter Bridge not one song I don't like... waiting for the new release pre-ordered the boxed set months ago. 🤘
Things I've seen is an absolute fav. Dark Trip & Brains A Dying Machine is Killer! Take you with me is phenomenal.
Alter Bridge - Broken Wings
Got goosebumps the first time I listened to it. So amazing
Classic
Myles is certainly a great vocalist, but Mark Tremonti can sing too. Check out Waters Rising or Peace is Broken.
Oh? Y'all think the vocal delivery and instruments are hot on this song!? PLEASE DO METALINGUS BY ALTER BRIDGE...if either of you were or are wrestling fans you might actually recognize the song but please...let that be the next alter bridge song you do! It is so good and I really think you guys will enjoy it! Always keep up with your guys videos and please keep it up! 😃
Greg Henderson totally a must listen...even if they don’t review it!
Greg Henderson this! Metalingus is great!
Greg Henderson YESSSS METALINGUS IS THE MAGNUM OPUS OF ALTER BRIDGE THEY MUST HEAR IT
Kim Durrant yes! I'm sure George would absolutely love the drums on that track lol
Federico Guzmán yes, I remember first hearing it through wrestling and it being one of my top 3 favorite entrance songs! When I finally found out who wrote it I was like, holy shit!? THIS is alter bridge!? I've been severely lackin!! And had to check out their other stuff lol
I will have to check this band out closer. Myles Kennedy is from Spokane, my town. I have meant to check Alter Bridge out because of him. I am 64 years old so I missed them when they came out. Like your channel as it exposes us all to things out of our comfort zone.
You should check out his stuff with Slash as well, not to mention his solo album that came out this year.
I really think you guys would enjoy some Chevelle. Kind of Indie alternative metal scene but a really fantastic song is called The Clincher. Always keeping it free thinking guys 👍
Send the Pain below was first Chevelle song I ever heard.
Oh my God YES. Pete is one of the best vocalists next to Myles of this generation
After a horrible day I was super stoked to see you guys! Great reaction vid as usual😊
Alterbridge- Slip to the Void
Oh yeah.
another excellent suggestion
needs to be this one
yesssssssssss
Alter Bridge - calm the fire
Yas
Slash - Anastasia
Also has Myles Kennedy in the vocals!
YES YES YES has the singer from Alter Bridge on it and it's so good
For real! Or Starlight.
Best song of all their collaborations
Gri8o yes agree
You have only scratched the surface of great Alter Bridge songs. Metalingus, White Knuckles, Slip to the Void, All Hope is Gone, Bleed it Dry, Fortress, The Other Side, Island of Fools or The Last Hero should be a part of your Alter Bridge Pt. 3
+1 for The Other Side and all songs mentioned, but The Other Side is darker than lots of their stuff and you guys would dig the lyrics.
qazrapt - Words Darker Than Their Wings; Still Remains - pretty much the whole AB111 album - or Lover off same Fortress album I could go on and on this band way too incredible
Definitely Slip to the Void!!!
Ties that bind!
Addicted to Pain would be epic
I like to classify alter bridge as the literal “bridge” between what I call “radio friendly red state rock” and the likes of the technical musicianship and experimentation seen in prog and some of the other elitists genres of metal that really only specify niche vibes. The deeper veins of contemporary rock and metal is often misunderstood by those who don’t normally listen to it because it is straight confrontation, a vibe, feeling, perspective or vocabulary of sounds separate and intense in some cases because a lot is an expression of suffering ,confusion, or for the sake of shock value.
Red state rock is bands like saliva, seether, theory for a deadman, nickleback, shine down, puddle of mudd. Basically all the bands your mom could enjoy on the ride to middle school. Like stadium country, but with some edge.
That said, alter bridge is sick af, very underrated.
I've gotta say George your assessment of most fans in the extreme or hardcore scenes reasoning is pretty spot on. Most anything deemed feminine, is frowned upon. Part of the macho, misogynistic aspects of that culture that I don't care for despite my love of the music. Only recently checked out this track and it blew me away!!! I Wasn't a fan of Myles Kennedy for some time, only now just coming around. Always liked Mark Tremonti's playing (even though I wasn 't a fan of Scott Stapp) and in Alter Bridge he shines!!!
For my recommendation, again it's the Dillinger Escape Plan When Good Dogs Do Bad Things. I know it might not be either of your guys styles, but I'm interested in hearing your thoughts and seeing your reactions to it!!! Definitely have to experience this as least once!
Love watching you review Alter Bridge!! Seriously they do not have a bad song. All super talented & passionate guys. If you feel the emotion in Mark’s guitar solos you should watch his face when he plays! 😍😍😍 Thanks for another exciting AB review. Makes me happy to see others reactions, especially when they are musicians themselves & can hear talent no matter what the genre. I think you were spot on about why they are not more popular with metal heads.....
Words Darker than their Wings and Breathe Again by AB....Two songs that really are the pinnacle of Myles Kennedy and his vocal abilities. If I had to choose, start with words darker than their wings but breathe again has one of the best vocal solos I’ve ever heard
David Dlugacz omg. Breath again.. just one of the best. Goosebumps and tears in my eyes every time I listen
David Dlugacz summer girl has his best vocals. By Mayfield four, his first band
I will check that out. Admittingly not as familiar with Mayfield four
Have you ever heard Summer Girl or Reigns Over Me by The Mayfield Four? Those really showcase his abilities.
I love "Breathe Again" ... helps me calm down, and be at peace..
Pantera - Cemetery gates and Domination pleeeeeease
I think The Sleep is probably Dimes best solo ever.
domination
Primal Concrete Sledge or I'm Broken.
Maybe, Revolution is my Name.
Or Mouth for War.
Or Five Minutes Alone
Damn, so much Pantera to choose from
Hey I was just thinking Cemetary Gates!!! Killer Guitar!!!
Been an Alter Bridge fan since the very beginning in 2004 and I love watching people who have never heard of them react to this song. It makes me feel like I'm hearing it for the first time again myself and even 11 years on I still get chills hearing Myles sing. Alter Bridge may not be appreciated that much now but 20, 30, 40, 50 years down the line this song will be viewed as a rock n roll masterpiece!
Chris Johnson I truly believe that Blackbird is the greatest song ever written. Every time somebody listens to that song it just blows them away and stays with them. At some point in the future Alter Bridge will sit with the legends like Metallica and Led Zeppelin. I can't wait to see that day.
Oh definitely. Mark Tremonti paired with Myles Kennedy is a perfect match that rarely happens....Blackbird still makes me tear up.
One of the things that I like of this band is the different types of styles that they have in each album that they made...
Rock songs: Metalingus, FIND THE REAL, Addicted To Pain
Epic songs: BLACKBIRD, Fortress, The Last Hero.
Soft songs: Watch Over You, In Loving Memory, ALL ENDS WELL.
Thanks for the dedication of listen this greats songs!! A hug from Valdivia, Chile!!
Dude when I heard this song for the first time, I was BLOWN AWAY!! Like holy shit are these guys serious?
Maaaaaaan, Sa-Roc and Alter Bridge? You're spoiling us! A lot of people in the metal community agree with you guys. Mark Tremonti and Miles Kennedy are one of the most talented duo. Their styles merge so well, and Alter Bridge is really good. Btw, they've toured together with Gojira, one of the best bills of last year.
Juan Hernández I was so upset I missed it. That must've been an amazing show
Juan Hernández they are much more popular in Europe & South America with the “metal heads”. I don’t know why they have not become as popular in America!
Now you are ready for their newest album; "The last Hero" please play : Show me the leader.
Myles Kennedy ; arguably the best singer in modern rock metal.
Mark Tremonti : one of the best shredders out there with a great voice himself.
Both have brought out solo albums which are great.
YES! I WAITED SO LONG AND IT WAS WORTH IT!
THANK YOU GUYS! ALTER BRIDGE FOR LYFE!
Porcupine Tree - Blackest Eyes
Do METALINGUS by AlterBridge . You won’t regret it.
or any song from AB honestly.
Metalingus is insane
Ghost of days gone by is also good.
amazing band one my favorites. every thing they do is awesome. you guys would like all their songs. awesome reaction.
I really enjoy your videos guys , cheers from mexico
Alter Bridge - Come to Life. Shit is so good! Youll def enjoy it :) Love the reactions, keep it up!
Absolutely! My favorite AB song overall! And my favorite “short” guitar solo too!
That whole album tho. Its hard to even recommend a song
Thomas Rogers short solo check out alter bridge show me a sign the firs 10 sec solo is amazing
Tool - The Pot, it's due guys..
Christian Takacs Yes! We've got to get a reaction to The Pot!
Why is it due? Haven't you already seen enough other reactors copying the same songs over and over again. Why not have an original idea?
Serpentine Rob we found the hipster
Why not bottom or right into! pot is a good song it’s to commercial Jambi or vicarious much better songs...
Serpentine Rob its Tool for one. Two. It’s these guys doing the review. They are great reviewers
Megadeth - Hangar 18
Y'all have been sleeping on this one too long now 🙂
The Brewer IKR. It's been way too long since they last listened to Megadeth. Hangar 18 is fucking insane.
Nick Hunter HELL YEEEAHH
I hear ya guys...but what about something classic off Peace Sells? Like...Good Mourning-Black Friday...Wake Up Dead...technical masterpiece of an album...
Exactly! Why are people obsessed over spamming all these reactors to all copy the same songs over and over again? Just glancing at these react channels, you'd think there were only a few dozen songs EVER written in all of metal. Hanger 18 is obviously an amazing song but I'd prefer to see the guys check out something different too so I'll second, "Good Mourning/Black Friday"
Exactly! Megadeth has more than just one album and we've already heard two from Rust in Peace, no need for a third, at least not in a row. I really think they'd dig The Conjuring or Wake up Dead because they have some groove to the riffs. As much as I love Black Friday, I think it's too brutal and fast for them
People need to expand their horizons on all of the great music out there.
You guys do a fantastic job of exposing yourselves to multiple genres, which give you new and interesting perspectives that you wouldn't have otherwise.
A Perfect Circle - TalkTalk
Tool - Vicarious
Volbeat - Still Counting
Puscifer - Telling Ghosts
Alter Bridge definitely has more songs that are reaction worthy. Fortress, Addicted to Pain, Metalingus, Slip to the Void, Calm the Fire, Waters Rising, Ties that Bind and Broken Wings are all great songs you should definitely listen too.
Alter Bridge- Find the Real. Insane vocal performance by Myles
TESSERACT - Of Matter (Live at Sphere Studios). I love Alter Bridge! And I love TesseracT! Wicked!
Dream Theater - Panic Attack
Steven Wilson - the Raven That Refused to Sing
Porcupine Tree - Arriving Somewhere but not here
WOW, this is everything I want them to react!
Although I would swap The Raven That Refused to Sing for Drive Home
I gotta admit, one of the main reasons I've subscribed to your channel is because of your reaction to Blackbird! PLEASE give us some more reactions to Alter Bridge, That band is the reason i wake up every morning!!!!
Also, Tool - The Pot. Your third eye won’t even be able to look and behold its groove glory.
agreeeeeeeed
I gave up on asking for Vicarious. I think they gave up on Tool all together.
I think they're trying to wait to get back to Tool just to have some variety. They've had to have seen The Pot a million times in the comment sections by now. But yes please!!
You guys need to check out Metalingus by Alter Bridge
James Judd you think you know me
georgesenpaii ON THIS DAY
I see clearly
Everything has come to life!!!
A bitter place and a broken dream
If you like Myles Kennedy's voice, check out some of his collaborations with Slash. I'd recommend "Back to Cali" for the groove or "Starlight" which is an awesome power ballad.
Acoustic Starlight is outstanding ...
Both acoustic intro and first solo was played by by Myles Kennedy :) Cheers from Poland, hope to see more AB reaction videos (Calm The Fire, Waters Rising, The Last Hero, Cradle to the Grave, Fortress, Bleed It Dry, Slip To The Void or the MAINSTREAM songs: Open Your Eyes, My Champion, Watch Over You, In Loving Memory, Ghosts of Days Gone By).
Blind Guardian - Mirror Mirror
Renato Ribeiro awesome 👍👍
Lost in Vegas
please try out Dust by TREMONTI(Tremonti's band)
Brilliant track and brilliant band yet very underrated. Would be great if you do a reaction video. You will be surprised to see how much of a good singer Tremonti is.
Pantera - Cemetery Gates
Holy shit. I've never really been into Alter Bridge, but DAMN.
MisterButterfingers ... Time for another listen...
Alter Bridge is one of the greatest bands of our time, they show us Hard Rock in a Modern Jacket. Their composing is amazing, and each individual is carrying his weight in the band. 10 years ago I randomly found them on youtube and I've never stopped listening
Alot of their greatest songs arnt even on the radio. These guys are legendary
I would like this comment more than once if I could. Great summation of AB. Couldn't agree more.
I thought they were just a generic radio rock band until now.. I'll be goin back to them for sure..
Alter Bridge - Words Darker Than Their Wings
You guys need to listen to Fade to Black by Metallica, it's absolutely amazing
ZayWooT I would click on that reaction SO FAST
It's been my favourite song basically my entire life
My fav Metallica song. Perfection 👌
Myles Kennedy love can only heal
Yeeeesss, I'm commenting this until they react to it. It's as beautiful as "Blackbird" but in a different way.
ohh do this
Nothing but a name is a peace of perfection as well
X100
Coming back a year later to rewatch because Cry of Achilles just won Guitarworld solo of the decade, and Tremonster (Mark Tremonti) guitarist of the decade!
If Myles Kennedy joined dream theater instead of James LaBrie I would die of happiness before they could even release a song. myles kennedy is such an incredible vocalist
Max Maidment i didnt know i needed this in my life but now i do
Max Maidment genius.
I know right. There are so many bands that I would love if they would just get good vocalists.
Ha,never thought of that ,but oh yeah..ain't got a massive problem with James but I get why DT would maybe be a better live band with someone else,and Myles would be perfect.
vhenry75 Same here I don't have a huge problem with LaBrie but I know he's not nearly as good as his fellow musicians. And I can't handle all the cringe videos of LaBrie being awful at live shows.
Not only Myles Kennedy is an amazing singer, he's also an amazing guitar player. And that kinda falls under the radar because the guitar spotlight falls over Mark Tremonti. I've seen Myles playing live and that guy is a beast on guitar. Like it was said in a previous comment. Myles was the one who recorded that Flamenco guitar intro. The point about mainstream appeal that George was mentioning. They might not be very popular in North America. But in Europe these guys are HUUUGEEEE.
Saint Echo they’re really popular in North America as well
Alter Bridge - Words Darker Than Their Wings w/ Paralax Orchestra!!!!
Myles Kennedy is responsible for the Spanish guitar riff. He's quite accomplished himself.
Xeranx Mark stated that he is technically better than himself ... and he “just” auditioned for the singer-job, kinda humble ...
Since you guys like Alter Bridge, you should really give a second shot to Dream Theater. They're the 90s forerunner to bands like this. Try an easy one: "Pull Me Under" (which you might recognize if you ever played original Guitar Hero).
Love the show, as always, fellas. 🤘
Slip to the void alterbridge is kickass they need to listen to that
Tool - The Pot
Try Metalingus with Alter bridge also dudes!
I myself would love to see you two fine gentlemen react to Type O Negative. And I'm confident many of your other Metal-leaning subscribers would agree.
My own preferred list:
- Black Number 1
- Christian Woman
- We Hate Everyone
- Love You to Death
- Unsuccessfully Coping With the Natural Beauty of Infidelity (Although strangely beautiful, this one is 13min long, so I'd understand if you want something shorter)
Their vocalist, Peter Steele (RIP), is my #1 singer of all time..
Anyway, I'll let the aforementioned subscribers get their input on which song if they'd like.
Saw Myles Kennedy and his guitarist Tim perform this acoustically on his solo tour in London. It was incredible! You should catch Alterbridge on their next tour. You will NOT regret it!
Lauren Shortle just saw him in Boston on Monday. He is a stellar performer
Going to see him the 2. time this year in July, Myles is awesome!
Saw him in Dallas and Houston for his solo... It was magical, he is a master
Saw Alter Bridge in Nottingham on the Fortress tour. Unforgettable
Saw Tremonti in London on 29th June ;) Got vip, such a humble dude, aswell as Alter Bridge at the Royal Albert Hall last October
the part you love "when the drummer slows down the beat" is called halftime feel.. love how much you guys get into your reviews and the music!
You guys are so fun to watch, love it! It reminds me of how I first reacted to Alterbridge songs.
Nightwish - Ghost Love Score
Nightwish, definitely. Maybe some Therion too
No!
Live in Buenos Aires 2012 is goose-bump invoking...tho I've never seen these guys do a live one before
Slip to the Void by Alter Bridge is an amazing example of how good they are at change ups and giving a song a unique style and sound. Definitely would recommend giving it a listen.
Alter Bridge - Fortress
This so is amazing and will definitely make it 3/3 of amazing songs that you've heard from them
You guys REALLY need to listen to the Ties that Bind from Alter Bridge
Ties That Bind has been my ringtone for the last 8 years. i doubt it will ever change.
Focus- Hocus Pocus live version
This is just a tongue in cheek request to see your reaction think it would be hilarious lol
Btw I binge watched all your videos when I discovered you a few days ago and you youys are so awesome. Seeing your genuine reactions when the music speaks to you speaks to me
”You cant deny greatness”. Love it!!
Devin Townsend guy here who says, YES! Myles Kennedy belongs in the same conversation with the great Hevy Devy of greatest metal vocalists!
A little bit of interesting information - Alter Bridge were named after a bridge near Tremonti’s hometown. As a child, Tremonti was warned to never cross that bridge because it led to the darker part of the city.
Perfect name because a lot of these guys’ songs touch on dark subjects but provide a silver lining. This song, in particular, is kind of a throwback to their third album which is a concept album about a character struggling to find their place in a world full of emptiness. This song is kind of speaking to that character telling him to never give up after all that he’s been through, because something beautiful is still alive.
You should react to one of the songs from that third album. I suggest either Isolation or Words Darker Than Their Wings.
Box of Rocks Productions holy shit, they would love Words Darker Than Their Wings!
Those of us who are enlightened about music in general, LOVE This Band. I'm 63 yrs old and come from the Hendrix, Cream, Led Zep era but have a LOT appreciation for these current bands who have taken it do another level. Also...You two crazy dudes are FUN to watch and love to see you react. Keep it up, you have a new fan, love your entertainment. OG ROCKSTAR
Alter Bridge-The Last Hero
Alter Bridge-Watch Over You
Alter Bridge My Champion
My Champion is such an amazingly uplifting song
WATERS RISING MEN
AND THE UNINVITEDDDD
Nothing from the last hero
