10. Alter Bridge - Ties That Bind LIVE

[@ShaggyPker]

Mark is a beast! My one and only idol. Alter Bridge is like all of my favorite types of music in one! Hopefully one day people will recognize the greatness of Mark Tremonti and Myles Kennedy together.

[@FenderMetalShredder]

Just insane. This song is a masterpiece.

[@MrCelticcc1]

Outstanding band! At this level in the hard rock world, no band is goin' anywhere live without a solid well-oiled "engine room". Hats off to Brian Marshall and Scott Phillips - simply brilliant!

[@garcia1dallas]

@NICKWAPPERER117 Notice that instead of switching out the neck pickup on it like most people do with the tremonti se, he swithched out the bridge pickup. Myles a guitar genius

[@danrobbo93]

Definetly the greatest metal song ever written.

[@Khil-Minao]

okay, myles is an awesome singer, Mark is a god on the guitar, we all know that. but with that said, i don't think the drummer gets enoguh credit. he is also an extremely talented drummer.

[@oopsimdrunk]

i love the way he talks

[@5deadspace]

epic song and a awesome way to start off a epic album

[@Alberto122587]

I'm sure they are...they're complete musicians,in every sense and way!

[@Alberto122587]

Hey AB family...these are the real FANTASTIC 4 =)

[@poisooontime]

This intro is simply legend.

[@advanir01]

This song is a masterpiece.² awesome!

[@Alberto122587]

Totally agree my friend,he's a monster!

[@Rowina18]

You guys know what's the best about them, in my hopinion? It's that they alway look like they're having so much fun on stage, like @2:00. They're good-natured guys who love music and playing, and do that out of love and fun and because it has a meaning for them. No egos at stake, no competition between two greatly talented guitarists and excellent vocalists. Just "good friends", as Myles puts it, that plays amazing music for the entertaining a crowd. They are really amazing.

[@Mallscreamo]

Seriously!! Flip is one of the most underrated drummers. He's also probably better than most of them! :D

[@AlexFebreroM]

YEAH!!!!! Alter BRidge!! ya kiero tener el DVD!! en mis manos!! se ve bravazo!

[@oopsimdrunk]

never knew creed could be so good.

[@toneyrush]

The drums are bad ass in this video. Good job philips.

[@stepanbarty]

@rockandrollrules5 and bass player also... they are just band of gods :)

[@aeasley91]

YES! going to see these guys in November!!!!!! Cannot wait!!!! :D

[@noteslines]

@rockandrollrules5 damn right, he's a beast, this song is always a hard one to play!

[@AlterBridgefanc]

I CAN'T STOP WATCHING! :D

[@TualCor]

@Austin21971 What you see him switching is the pick up selector. With this particulair guitar you can adjust the volume for the neck and bridge pick up individualy. So if you mute one pick up and start twichting the switch you get this very cool on/off effect. Its also called a kill switch.

[@Songwriter4God]

I've been watching AB videos for about an hour and only just realized it. O.O

[@Mawnee]

@poloprdel I totally agree. Fantastic perfomance!

[@Andres00Martinez]

That Guy who disliked the video has no friends an lives alone in his home with 20 cats

[@malootchky]

@chudanjufood what is the purpose of singing/playing the song note by note? what would be the purpose to go to a concert? for me it's great guys are changing it a bit. This makes live shows unique. As for the singing, try to sing this stuff while playing the guitar. Myles' voice is pretty well controlled and his pitch is perfect wher it needs to be. But singing while playing is a tough shit to do.

[@09Omares]

WOW MARK IS A GOD OF GUITAR IS A TRUE GOD IS MY INSPIRATION IS THE BEST IN THE WORLD

[@GoldnDusty]

@rockandrollrules5 Scott is not taken for granted, just pushed aside. He's my idol as a musician.

[@wow101AB]

AAAAAAMAIZING!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[@TheAvengedforlife]

@AlterBridgeAndA7X lol, those are my 2 favourite bands of all time! You have great taste!

[@Mawnee]

@pindropviolence333 Its the speed picking he does starting at 1:55, that string is slightly flat. Its not way off, but enough that Myles notices.

[@troutmask1970]

i think they are great!! heard bout them in MOJO

[@magma9999]

And so is the bassist!

[@joannefilippone3254]

TIES THAT BIND.......YES , Awesome

[@cuhrayzee1]

@Ribsletics I think all we need to remember is that the live situation has to be different in some ways to the CD, sometimes it is better than the CD and sometimes it's not, sometimes both. But who wants to go to a concert and hear the song exactly the same as the CD, what's the point in that? :)

[@Farsklat]

WOW!!! Myles singing a high note and playing some fast shit at the same time!!! 2:15

[@SkylerB619]

@Trommeduden1 Everything that is happening in those ten seconds is unreal!

[@aidoxD]

@rockandrollrules5 haha being a guitarist and all, the first thing that actualyl really stood out to me in this band when i first heard them was the drummer :P he is amazing aswell as the rest of them!

[@ITMeCE]

OMG GUITAR HERO..... IM GETTING THAT GAMES JUST FOR THIS SONG THUMBS UP FOR A GOOD BAND FINALLY GOING ON GUITAR HERO :D

[@alterbridgegod]

@tomsaint316 completely agree, nickelback are a great band, not as good as alter bridge, alter bridge are a different class but nickelbacks heavy stuff is great, man i even like the soft stuff.

[@15koll]

so fuckin good!

[@Khil-Minao]

yeah, hhim too.

[@keebaeklim]

yes. Phili and lancaster. He didnt remember though lol. But hes really nice, He was willing to take pics with anyone who asked.

[@Glowsticks1000]

great song would have loved myles to do the scream that starts the song on the CD but it was still and amazing song

[@keebaeklim]

Flip! He is an absolute animal, One of the shows I saw, im kinda supprised he didnt crack any of his cymbals

[@Trommeduden1]

love the drumbeat at 2:17 - 2:28 :D

[@garcia1dallas]

@NICKWAPPERER117 With that high output pickup, you get more of a round sound that Mark wanted as the neck pickup on his guitars. Using it as the bridge pickup and you might be able to get a nice edgier, harder type of sound. That's my theory, I'm gonna try it out to be sure. If Myles did it then it must be good

[@Dudetomdude]

Mark Tremonti is fucking BEAST of a guitarist. Underrated imo.

[@Oxpost]

@rockandrollrules5 Yeah. Scott Philips is one of the best drummers when it comes playing truly heavy! He's not the most technically gifted drummer, but he knows exactly what to play in order to take each song to another level!

[@Markadi79]

OH MY GOD!!!They're real monsters!!!!!(Of Music of course):-D

[@deaconh87]

just fucking killer guitar riffs the whole song!

[@jamespondrobocod]

They have an awesome bassist as well ya know..

[@brendo5555]

It shows u with one person disliking this how many ppl love alter bridge anyone whos first heard them usually likes em where u would see ur megadeth metallica with a ton of ppl disliking

[@Khil-Minao]

yeah i know that. :-) just didn't know Scott Phillips' name when i posted the comment.

[@Issens]

@russianradio85 Nickelback is from Canada actually!

[@sumrealrandomfella]

scott phillips is fucking insane on the drums! how the fuck do u play to a beat like that and add in all them amazing fills?!? i love u marry me!

[@samstreet28]

the 2 people who disliked this have been bounded up with ties too many times

[@KalenKennedy]

@chudanjufood I'll have to agree with what @BrothersSilentium is trying to say. That note (or those notes) are pretty hard to hit in sucession. That, and the fact that the tempo was a tad faster than the studio version. But I do agree with you in that Myles is a great singer and it dissapoints me that he does go half-assed during live shows.

[@kpopfanphotos]

@Darkvalentine333 I don't believe stating that I could play as well as these bands. Mark was trained by John Petrucci I believe. If I'm correct then there's no way you even have room to be talking as well. I guess you didn't see the part at the end that I wasn't bashing the band. Regardless, it still doesn't change my outlook on Nickelback. I still say there's bands far greater than them.

[@KalenKennedy]

@Lanstrlen1995 I understand where you're coming from. But why I used the term "half-assed" is not really in a negative manner. I say it because he isn't using his full tonal potential, because he's conserving his voice. Beleive me I understand about voice conservation, playing music for seven years; and also where you come from about letting the instruments shine during a live show. I have alot of respect for Myles and he has become my biggest influence vocally. Sorry for the misunderstanding.

[@Rowina18]

They'r vicious! In the better meaning of the word :D

[@daradidam]

scott phillips is awesome :O

[@Deviloid]

@norozedani and kill all the adrenaline in it naaaahhhh...sorry buddy... get used to the speed!!

[@Kudblythe3]

@rockandrollrules5 yes scott phillips is amazing. mark tremonti is a great guitarist, but i dont think he gets enough credit as a vocalist. he has a great voice and it mixes well with myles voice.

[@keebaeklim]

definitly! Hes nice 2. I met him in phili, when i approached him he was talking to someone else about his wife's cooking and how good it was lol

[@lkzprd]

@unamooh i think he also has a whammy pedal !! this guy can sing high notes loud !!!!!!!

[@MrOwensey]

@aidoxD i just feel sorry for the bassist

[@jackmarshall757]

The speed they played this at, Holy Fuck.

[@Lars07]

@BlackMage867 I agree! Both bands Rock, and Both bands are unique! I also wish people would stop hateing on Stapp, yea he had a few problems, so what everyone does! anyways both bands Kick Ass!

[@Ascendancy25]

@Ribsletics he does sing all parts.

[@iCentigrade]

the drummers name is Scott

[@EA369]

At 2:20 I don't think it's possible to lean back any further :P Man I love this band!!

[@gbsons]

@sofoclebeat I'm guessing you haven't seen them live in person.

[@MusicAddict1020]

Mark Tremonti KeEp oN sLaY'N DaT GTaR!!!!! He Is AWESOME!!!!!!!! :D

[@pajdof]

somebody can tell me how many different guitar tunnings are they using while this concert? :)

[@starseed331]

@BBphobia79 A hundred times over!

[@gbsons]

@aeasley91 I saw them in May in Nashville. Easily the best live band out there.

[@Mallscreamo]

Lucky!!! Did you meet Mark? I would KILL to meet him lol.

[@hanhorror]

@killkenny97 what gigs you got inbetween -nosey- ^^

[@MichaelRigsbyHammer]

who gives a crap where nickel back is from,i love this band ,but nickelback has wrote a few good ones!!

[@pindropviolence333]

@Mawnee i cant understand which part of that was out of tune.. it seemed fine.. did u mean the slide he does or the lead sort of stuff that he plays with mark before the bridge starts??

[@dyanandtinaforever]

@russianradio85 nickelback are pretty awesome.

[@teorky]

lol...best moment 0:46......awsome....

[@BrokenGuitarNL]

@AlterBridgeAndA7X fkyeah your acc name are my 2 fav. bands, that;s awesome hahaha^^

[@TimV93]

2:18 I wanna hear Myles fuckin scream, that's the only thing that I haven't heard him do. Hi's to Lo's he's got it, but I wanna hear him let the rage out.

[@thethirdbro]

@russianradio85 Nickelback is a Canadian band, but the point still stands :D

[@malootchky]

@chudanjufood I didn't mean to assume anything 'bout you. Anyway, I kind of agree with what you are saying. Nevertheless if you're musician like myself, you obviously know that when you record an album you think about the song and how to make it best. Only when it's done you think about gigs (and running the stage, banging your head, etc.). I agree he could have done it better, however watching the whole gig I must say it's a margin I can accept :) Peace brother and rock on!

[@hanhorror]

@killkenny97 A7X i didnt know they were on tour and BFMV shit they bettter not be sold out xD and thats rather alot i'm sure you'll have fun xD

[@sofoclebeat]

@gbsons indeed, I haven't.

[@jhandin]

@Rowina18 True, but they were looking at each other at 2:00 because they both realized that Myles's guitar is out of tune.

[@DonCYHaute]

@russianradio85 my apologies, I didn't see the number of people who had already said that...

[@PovZ123]

@TualCor Haha damn, I was just about to explain it to him, but then I see your comment. XD

[@YoEddiee]

@synysterwylde627 Zack de la Rocha*, sir. But yes, he kinda does!

[@TimV93]

@jarenshaeffer No I was just saying it would sound cool

[@dyanandtinaforever]

@fbbc2 How did you add the time into that comment?

[@shadzzz441791]

@sam345 well, he has to save up his voice, right? Cuz they have alot of time in the recording studio, so myles can go balls out there, whereas this is a live performance done in one night, doing a long series of songs, so he woudn't want to stress his voice too much, or he's gonna risk his voice cracking.

[@jarenshaeffer]

@iLikechevelle he doesnt have to scream lol. just the fact that he can hit that note is impressive enough

[@TheorySH]

@russianradio85 Nickelback is Canadian.

[@Songwriter4God]

@sam345 You apparently can't use your brain to think from his point of view. He's recording a live album/DVD, they can see you mess up if you do, they can hear you mess up and there's no retake, you have this camera moving around in your vision, you have more then 14 songs to do in a row, some more demanding than others, and he has to sing it all. What will his voice do? He won't be able to sing well at the end of the night, so he needs to go into punk mode and talk it.
