You HAVE to listen to "Words Darker Than Their Wings" by Alter Bridge from the Royal Albert Hall. It will blow you away with Myles voice... Trust me! Oh, plus the other guitarist harmonizes with Myles as well.

[@Quizzy0000]

i agree that one is epic.

[@Abigirl_Reacts]

Thanks for the suggestion! ^_^

[@feedmefrenzy.]

@Abigirl_Reacts You're more than welcome. I look very much forward to it. 😀

[@tamigolic6805]

Alter Bridge... 7 albums with 0 bad songs. You should keep reacting to them and you must read the lyrics while listening.

[@Abigirl_Reacts]

Thanks for the suggestion! ^_^

[@death23947]

Myles Kennedy is a god...the crazy part of all this is this is prolly just his upper mid register....He can go way way higher

[@Abigirl_Reacts]

Niiice, I can't wait to hear more!

[@audivawalsh2983]

Oh wow I'm in love. Never heard them before - thanks to your patreon!

[@Abigirl_Reacts]

I feel the same way!

[@thebest3921]

This is an amaaazing band, you'll love every single song

[@Abigirl_Reacts]

They sounded great here!

[@adershwarrier]

Next should be words darker than their wings at Royal Albert Hall. No doubt

[@adershwarrier]

I would even suggest you to compare both the studio version and royal albert hall version of this song 😌

[@Abigirl_Reacts]

Thanks for the suggestions! ^_^

[@bryanthompson8814]

This song is perfection. AB is a phenomenal band.

[@Abigirl_Reacts]

It was truly amazing!

[@jcollins486]

Alter Bridge is one of the most criminally underrated rock bands ever. Without going into too much history, if you react to more I'll go into more detail but you must, MUST! React to " Words darker than their wings " live at the Royal Albert Hall. You will be blown away!

[@Abigirl_Reacts]

Added, Thanks for the suggestion! ^_^

[@NOD134]

IMO Myles is the best rock singer in the world today. Please check out Words Darker Than Their Wings from the same Royal Albert Hall gig. He hits a very high note!!!

[@Abigirl_Reacts]

Thanks for the suggestion! ^_^

[@michaelvaughn1235]

I love that when you get blown away, the Spanish comes out.🤣 I haven't heard the band before but as an 80s musician, they are now on my playlist.

[@Abigirl_Reacts]

They sounded great! Very catchy ^_^

[@RB-oc7ti]

I was the same! Im in my late 50’s and am a fan of 60’s through 80’s (and into the 90’s even) rock and metal. I thought great hard melodic rock died by the 2000’s because new stuff isn’t pushed by mass media or radio anymore…. Anyways, I happened upon these guys only because I heard Myles Kennedy singing with Slash, and wondered who this great vocalist was. Went down the Myles Kennedy rabbit hole and now AlterBridge is by far my favorite hard rock band! (And they are unknown by many rock fans who rarely stray from their bubbles). I had to find them by chance, which is weird, because as someone mentioned - they have no bad songs or albums! Edit:(PS - yes Im aware of The Warning, and any number of other 2000’s thru 2010’s and on new rock and metal bands! I like many of them and I hope they bring guitar based music back to the fore! But AlterBridge is my favorite by far)

[@oldmanjimh3165]

Great sound.

[@Abigirl_Reacts]

Thanks!

[@Random-Person_]

Awesome reaction Abi! My favorite part was at 3:14 when he started belting out the lyrics and your eyes almost popped out of your head lol. I've never heard of this band before, but I will be looking into more of their music. The sound and vocal tones gave me serious '80s Queensryche vibes. If you liked this then I suggest "Eyes of a stranger" by Queensryche. The entire "Operation: Mindcrime" album that EOAS is on is one long story woven into the songs. They even recorded two concerts in Madison and La Crosse, Wisconsin back in '91 where they played the entire album, in list order, with video and animation graphics playing behind the band on a screen telling the story behind the music.

[@Abigirl_Reacts]

Neato, I'll take a listen sometime!

[@michaelwalker5459]

I don't think you are ready for the vocals on words darker than their wings 😂

[@Abigirl_Reacts]

Immmmmm ready!

[@lambo_90]

Myles Kennedy is an amazing singer! Mark Tremonti (Lead Guitarist & Backup Vocalist) is also a great singer too. Please check the song "Words Darker Than Their Wings" from Alter Bridge, from the same show (Live At The Royal Albert Hall). Myles gets to an even higher note..

[@Abigirl_Reacts]

Haha I gotta see this! ^_^

[@ohTHATaaronbrown]

@@Abigirl_Reacts definitely second the call for "Words Darker Than Their Wings"!

[@Chast74]

Think the beginning is Beatles? Blackbird...not sure.. great song! Great reaction! 👍 🎉

[@Abigirl_Reacts]

Is it the Beatles? I thought it sounded familiar but I wasn't sure

[@Chast74]

@Abigirl_Reacts I just checked it out and I think he played the Beatles blackbird in the beginning as a tribute to them because his song has the same namesake.

[@tamigolic6805]

​@@Chast74he always plays that Beatles's blackbird part before their own Blackbird because it was the first song he learned from his friend (the one he wrote that lyrics to)... I think I read that.

Hi Pookiee ^_^ 🤎

[@Double_J_48629]

Miles Kennedy is a legend. scrolling through your channel, couldn't help but notice you've yet to hit some reaction staples: Nightwish - _Ghost Love Score_ (be careful, i've heard they get protective, may possibly need an overlay) Jinjer - _Pisces_ (they actively encourage reactions) The Warning - _Evolve_ (they also encourage reactions) those songs are just introduction points. the catalogs run deep. and there's plenty more bands, but that ought get you started (i'm assuming you've already been swamped for some of the Japanese bands outside of just Babymetal).

[@lencooke944]

Yes, I bet Abigirl has been hit with suggestions for other Japanese bands, and rightly so. Japan is the world's hub of youngerish (if that's a real word) metal and hard rock bands at the moment. Don't get me wrong, there are many great heavy bands all over the world, but Japan is punching above its weight at the moment. I agree with your recommendations for Nightwish (and the connective tissue of Jinger) and the Mexican trio "The Warning", it's hard to believe these three girls can command so much presence on stage.

[@Abigirl_Reacts]

I have a feeling at least one of these are going to be the patreon pick of the week soon!

[@DadDaughtersandDrinks]

@@Abigirl_Reacts Can confirm that many of the Japanese metal bands are *amazing*, but are generally not so reactor friendly. The same goes for Nightwish, unfortunately, although this has not stopped Ghost Love Score from being the top reacted to song ever, so that's saying something. The Warning are phenominal to react to, all they way back to when they were super young. Their newer music is a bit more industrial and "produced", but still very, very good.

[@Abigirl_Reacts]

Wow Thanks so much for all the suggestions! ^_^

[@kc28kenneth]

I love bands backed by an orchestra. This is good.

[@Abigirl_Reacts]

Me too!

[@heberthjhoanarizamoran5967]

Alter bridge es una banda demasiado buena . Me gusta cuando dices. Un momento por favor . Me sacas una sonrisa .❤

[@Abigirl_Reacts]

They are great! Thanks for watching =)

[@johnnyadamany]

Alterbridge does not have one bad song

[@Abigirl_Reacts]

Nice!

[@johnnyadamany]

If you get the chance, listen to the live Blackbird in Amsterdam

[@Abigirl_Reacts]

I will!

[@lencooke944]

This is a beautiful track, do yourselves a favour and search the meaning behind the song. Alter Bridge is perhaps one of the most successful reboots of a band ever. After the band Creed lost direction/argued/ran-out-of-steam, whatever ... they added a new singer and rebranded (oversimplified, I know) and they have been able to extend themselves for another 20 years. Blackbird is one of their older songs, but it remains one of their most performed and most requested songs. Great stuff Abigirl, keep the good stuff coming.

[@Abigirl_Reacts]

I loved Creed but this guy's voice is amazing as well!

[@jackchisnall9316]

You must now try Geoff Castellucci's ( bass singer) version of The Beatles' Blackbird.

[@Abigirl_Reacts]

Thanks for the suggestion! ^_^

[@CalvinHart-dv8gv]

Cool song. Great reaction. I’m going to give you my award as my favourite new reactor of 2024 and there are 3 1/2 months left. Sorry it doesn’t come with a cup or a million $$$ just my gratitude!

[@Abigirl_Reacts]

I'll take the gratitude, thanks so much! ^_^

[@Mogel-]

Love this song, and your reaction

[@Abigirl_Reacts]

Loved this request, well done Mogel!

[@jessievoisin5462]

If you were thinking of Chris Cornell then I agree. Definitely some similarities. AB is basically Creed with Myles Kennedy taking the place of Scott Stapp. The catalog for AB is pretty deep but if you wish to explore further I recommend Words Darker Than Their Wings from the same show and Watch Over You (Live at Billboard). I promise, you won't be disappointed. Thanks for sharing your first time with AB. I have been a fan for so long I've forgotten how hearing them the first time made me feel. :)

[@Abigirl_Reacts]

Oh my goodness, how did you know I was thinking of Chris Cornell?! Good call, wow haha

[@jessievoisin5462]

@@Abigirl_Reacts Just a gut feel based on your reaction to Myles range

[@mikeb7379]

5.30 am here UK. Good morning. Just about to hit the road so laters? OK it's now later. Never heard of this band until a couple of days ago, when they and this official release of this particular concert was the subject of a Wings Of Pegasus reaction. Fil of WOP was asked to settle a, somewhat unpleasant, arguement between a guy and the bands representatives as to was this video pitch corrected or not? No spoilers from me but anyone interested should go view the channel for the evidence and conclusion? 🤔

If you care to dip into progressive metal, try Jinjer. You could start with their most reviewed "Pisces" or their new single "Someone's Daughter".

your mike is working just fine..... don't invest in stuff until you can afford it without even thinking about it.

ok I will just stick to your Ren reactions I do love them.

Glad you like them!
