Alter Bridge - Cry of Achilles | REACTION

[@RB-oc7ti]

Yes! The mighty Alter Bridge with Myles F’N Kennedy in my top 5 rock vocalists - ever! Huge range, control, and pitch - all while playing lead and rhythm guitar at the same time! Meanwhile- Mark Tremonti’s riffs, guitar solos and backing vocals are just magnificent! Beautiful harmonies and big choruses with these guys. Too many great songs to list! Anyone wanting to check them out - Their first 5 albums are absolutely amazing! Just start at their first ‘one day remains’ (most like Creed but with better singer and more guitars and solos), and hear them evolve for the better with each successive album beginning with the fantastic’Blackbird’ record. I’m an old 70’s 80’s and 90’s hard rock and metal guy and only discovered these guys about 5 years ago. I haven’t looked back! Favorite band!

[@thyop89]

Probably the best hard rock band in the world right now. Myles Kennedy is one of the great rock vocalists of all time, up there with Chris Cornell. Robert Plant, Layne Staley and Jeff Buckley.

[@mikeelko8527]

Myles is just one of a kind

[@MareeIrvine]

Watched the entire concert at Royal Albert Hall. Amazing. Myles Kennedy’s voice WOW. With Mark Tremonti also WOW. You need to play more Alter Bridge. PLEASE!!

[@DM-hk4cw]

No one can touch Myles, today, as a vocalist. Heck, a lot of folks can't touch him as a guitarist. Myles also sang with Slash and did some stints with GNR. Myles has a jazz guitarist background, also. He had a cameo appearance in the movie "Rock Star" as the kid singing in the audience and then the lead singer asks him to come on stage and sing. You could see his chops there. Alter Bridge, to me, is uplifting and always positive. My favorite songs by them are "Blackbird" and "Shed My Skin." A rare band who sounds better live than on album.

[@dominic0917]

I know it's a late comment but y'all need to do more more Alter Bridge. So many incredible songs on so many albums. Blackbird needs to be done but Pawns and Kings from their newest album along with Sin after Sin is incredible.

[@davidmatheny1993]

No idea if any member of the channel is checking these comments a week later, but literally EVERY song from their album Blackbird is worth reviewing. The title song Blackbird has an incredible dual guitar solo.

[@MrHilson]

Alter Bridge - Blackbird - one of THE BEST guitar solo(s) of all time. Rated too. Check it. Words Darker Than Their Wings Live - holy shit vocal high note bridge - They've been selling out arenas in Europe for years - the states are JUST NOW catching on, they're selling out everywhere. Wild. Myles was at Rock City Music (Spokane, WA) when I bought my first guitar, and told me to never sell it, and coincidentally Blackbird is about the owner of THAT guitar shop - this would have been right after his band Citizen Swing, maybe EARLY Mayfield Four days (Mayfield Four is the reason the Creed boys know him). I'd say the best part about these guys? How humble they are. Literally the nicest most down to earth people ever. ZERO complex. Also - Myles is the touring vocalist with Slash - bonus fact - back in the early days Myles used to go around Karaoke bars in Spokane WA and sing all kinds of stuff, most memorably GNR. Now? He's actually singing the songs with Slash foreal. Now with the release of Pawns and Kings? Shit. You're catching them as they blow up and everyone that's known them from 2004 or Myles projects previous, I KNOW share the sentiment of "it's about damn time". #I-Live-In-His-Hometown

[@reb569]

1st solo is Myles, 2nd solo is Mark. This is my favorite AB song. Epic. And so many awesome songs.

[@sully2737]

You really need to hear Miles Kennedy live. I agree with those recommending "Words Darker Then Their Wings". (Live from Royal Albert Hall and featuring the Parallax Orchestra. It's unbelievable. Tremendous vocals by Kennedy and Tremonti, and beautifully arranged with the orchestra behind the band.) Both Kennedy and Tremonti have huge bodies of work as songwriters. More of Kennedy can be heard with Slash and the Conspirators, as well as his solo projects, and his older stuff with the Mayfield Four. Tremonti (the group formed by Mark Tremonti) released its fifth album in 2021 (Marching in Time), and Mark released "Mark Tremonti Sings Frank Sinatra" in 2022 as a charity project to raise funds for the National Down syndrome Society (this several months prior to the release of Alter Bridge's latest, Pawns and Kings.) Mark does all the (Sinatra) vocals and is paired up with many members of Sinatra's old band. To date, I think there have been four live Sinatra shows. His Sinatra work is mind-blowingly good, and something one would never expect from a kick-ass rock guitarist. (Of course, who would have expected him to write a science fiction novel--A Dying Machine, with accompanying concept album of the same name--but he did that, too. All of that is in addition to his past work with Creed.) These guys are phenomenal. Tremendous song-writers, musicians, and great human beings... with an insane work ethic.

[@ThinkBeFree99]

Saw them twice this yr. The way they come out and so effortlessly play and are all in synch and having a good time is simply amazing. They are all epic musicians and so damn nice it's actually perplexing lol

[@sully2737]

@@ThinkBeFree99 "Saw them twice this yr." Cheers for that! That's is excellent! (I'm living vicariously through everyone who gets to their shows. Bucket list item for me.). Such good guys. Every success they have just makes me happy.

[@jackmarshall757]

Alter Bridge are one of the best bands atm, in my very heavily biased opinon they are the most under-rated band in the world. And you should check out the film clip for the song

[@ThinkBeFree99]

Seen some good suggestions already. I love their deep cuts. Some very solid gems like "Show Me a Sign", "The End is Here" and so many more

[@hibhibb5429]

Myles Kennedy has insane vocal range and Mark Tremonti is an Incredible guitarist!!! Both of them are humble and stand up guys!! The real deal!! So Talented!! Mark Tremonti has also sang some Frank Sinatra songs (covers) that sound freaking awesome!! Such as "Fly Me To The Moon", "I've Got You Under My Skin", and "My Way". Hope you guys check them out.

[@DanP_original]

Love this tune. Cheers for the reaction. Would love some more Alter Bridge please!

[@R.Nashoba]

Definitely go down the rabbit hole of Alterbridge 👊🏽

[@Rocker1983]

This band is so good live!

[@acph3nv894]

Love the bridge with Brian doing his thing on the base. Myles vocal range is incredible as is his guitar playing. Myles does the first solo and then Tremonti does the second. LOVE THESE GUYS!

[@jasmith3245]

I don't feel that Tremonti ever got to truly showcase his guitar prowess in Creed

[@thebest3921]

Welcome to Alter Bridge! Blackbird will blow them away!

[@doreenarcher8543]

I really like this. I want to hear more from them. Thanks guys.✨✨✨

[@kathleenandbruce]

You guys need to do something off of the new album Pawns and Kings, it's fire all around. One epic and awesome album. One of the best albums of 2022.

[@debbiejohnson1484]

Myles is my second fav rock singer following close behind Chris Cornell (my rock god!) He has done some great work with Slash also! He is amazing live as well!

[@KH-qv8tk]

A song with good sax is "Low Spark of High Heeled Boys" by Traffic. Cool vibe.

[@gillyflower6384]

Have just discovered your Channel✨really enjoying your reactions! sending ❤ from 🇬🇧

[@laurawolpert9601]

Finally!! Some Alter Bridge!!! Next do the live version of "Words darker than their wings" so you can hear the amazing Myles Kennedy hit that tremendous note! Please!!!!!!

[@MrHilson]

Live version*

[@bapc3billneeley]

From The Royal Albert Hall

[@heatherturner6955]

Great acoustic opening! Good transition... Sounds like a 90s grunge/ alternative song. Like the drum fill between chorus and 2nd verse. The drum cadence stays throughout 2nd verse... Good song, never heard the group as Alter Bridge, but have heard Creed. Someone recommended them on your livestream. Reminded me of Avenge Sevenfold towards the end (musically). Abrupt ending. Deciding whether it is going on playlist - but a solid song!

[@Casey6284]

If you're still watching WWE, the theme for the Judgment Day is also Alter Bridge. I believe Edge knows Mark Tremonti. When Tremonti had written some music for the first AB album, he played some for Edge just to see what he thought. Edge liked Metalingus and he asked if he could use it. Tremonti didn't hesitate.

[@jacobclark2532]

Yep, you nailed it!

[@brucemarshall9521]

Always wondered what happened to Creed's ax man. Now I know. 502 👍

[@patrickfuller2423]

we will forgive you for calling Miles, Samey . great stuff guys

[@rahmaomar2753]

you are greaaat guysss you have to listen to more Alter Bridge like (slip to the void) (fortress) for sureeeee (Black bird)

[@mamaflush9945]

I thought I'd drop off another suggestion, if interested, I think you've listened to one of this band's songs, so I thought you might like to hear more of this wonderful blues music. "Allman Brothers Band - Melissa - Acoustic - Live Music - Gregg & Dickey Betts - Video" be prepared to hear "ear candy" fellas... this is magical stuff🎶🍬🎸

[@jeffparker6844]

Great band. Blackbird would be a good choice.

[@shuvdutta7563]

React to the live version of words darker than their wings (Royal Albert hall) …..sick stuff ….lots of love from india

[@kimpalko3391]

Going to see them in March. Can’t wait!

[@michaeldinsen7641]

March 10th for me....waiting to see them since 04

[@kathleenandbruce]

April 1st the last show of the tour for me at Yamaava Theater, can't wait.

[@terrilgeorge7255]

Wondering if you are going to react to CSNY following the passing of David Crosby. 'Almost Cut My Hair' is a classic Crosby tune and 'Woodstock' showcases the brilliant harmonies of the group.

[@candycasiday2866]

Blackbird is so good!

[@johnnyadamany]

Live at Amsterdam if a live version. Not Wembley, he was sick

[@johnwoodberry3707]

Have either of you heard of Wolfgang Van Halen's Mammoth WVH music yet?

[@edoardoalves]

Myles Kennedy isn't just a good vocalist. Creed really needed another guitar in their songs. There's two Edge's songs of Alter Bridge, check The Other Side too please!!!

[@RG049]

Great reaction guys. Please react to the title track of "The Last Hero" album next

[@johnnyadamany]

Blackbird live at Amsterdam!!!!

[@kathleenandbruce]

The 1st lead is actually done by Myles and the 2nd lead is Mark.

[@ViewsFromThe502]

Yup, we said that 👍

[@MikeStarr1000]

Found your channel, noticed you guys like the “yacht rock” vibe. But haven’t hit Ambrosia yet?? They’ve got 4 huge hits.

[@rjb6791]

My favorite band hands down, Myles, the lead singer and Mark back up vocals to most songs, trade off playing lead guitar on most songs. Watch video of Blackbird, live from Wembley. Their new CD is Pawns and Kings. Listen to title song or Fable of the Silent Son. Myles is lead singer with Slash as well. Myles is a great singer with 4 Octaves. Great Review guys!

[@josephdean3722]

Please react to fable of the silent son. Off they're new album pawns and kings

[@RB-oc7ti]

Kind of pathetic that this great heavy melodic rock/metal band formed in the 2000’s - and this fantastic song specifically, has only this many views on your channel so far!?Strange to say the least… Must be alot of old yacht rock and boomer 60’s and 70’s classic rock and 80’s hair metal (read: dressed up pop) listeners here, who don’t want to hear anything else? Thanks for bringing this great band to your channel! They truly don’t have a bad song or album - and have dozens of great ones!👍🎸

[@ViewsFromThe502]

That's a correct observation. Sadly, if people don't recognize the band or the song title they usually will skip over it. Hopefully will we gain more rock and metal subscribers in the future 🤟

[@genarogilormino2139]

You should review Waters Rising

[@bean11441]

Blackbird next please(not live)

[@Rocker1983]

I'd also like to see you guys react to Kentucky natives Black Stone Cherry.

[@anzekos429]

yeahh ab

[@skeetert101010]

Yall have to checkout. HI REN its amazing

[@dougvoltin164]

Not on mine but worth a listen

[@alejandropesina98]

When are you guys going to react to The Black Dahlia Murder!!!

[@carlpeterkirkebo2036]

This genre is not my cup of tea but I have heard worse.
