Alter Bridge's Myles Kennedy - 'Watch Over You' LIVE at Billboard

Alter Bridge's Myles Kennedy performs an acoustic version of 'Watch Over You' LIVE at Billboard, February 2014.

[@myownass2589]

Its funny how people judge a singer by how many octaves a singer can hit.Listen to the control,the sustain,that gentle vibrato and emotion in this song.Thats what makes u a good singer

[@cwehden]

He has it all, control / range / artistry, amazing.

[@jamesdoodles6415]

Myown Ass2 |. It's funny when people assume everyone knows how to judge someone's singing by the vibrato and the sustain and whatever other shit you said. Irrelevant comment.

[@apostolis.diamantopoulos]

still he has like 3.5 octaves :P

[@rakayabarre9528]

Apostolis Kennedy try 5

[@apostolis.diamantopoulos]

Rakaya Barre five probably not 😂 4 is already very above average. Unless you count whistle register

[@misterwizzerd]

Hauntingly beautiful....a shamefully underrated singer

[@MRSJGIRL1]

misterwizzerd Agreed!! So sad that there are 2 many bs singers on radio,would be nice 2 hear his voice instead of Justin Dweeber!! LOL

[@miarenee6703]

+MRSJGIRL1 I couldn't agree with you more! I love him

[@ViktorKyuzov]

+misterwizzerd Underrated? Seriously? You probably live somewhere where people think commercially.. you know, bieber and stuff. Myles tours, writes and records with Slash ffs, thats not underrated :)

[@smilingskull7827]

+misterwizzerd I don't think he's under rated, I think he's one of the best out there, possibly the best.

[@CrazySchmidt]

+misterwizzerd Slash has made sure that this brilliant artist is not underrated, and frankly if Slash hadn't picked him up it would only have been a mater of time before someone else would have!! I feel a little sorry for Mark Tremonti having gained him in his band only to realize that bigger things would inevitably arise for Myles, what a brilliant vocalist and to think he was only wanting to be a guitarist early in his career. Rock on Myles you fuckin' legend!!!! CS. :)

[@RusseellMillennial-ex3vx]

[@TheiPodTouchPenguin]

Can you name any examples of rockstars "these days" that are assholes? The ones I follow seem like super genuine people.

[@jordankennie]

I heard the guys from the Darkness are jerks (from watching the Lemmy documentary on Netflix), the signer from Three Days grace was also a jerk before he quit the band for rehab and stuff. He often would go over his time and make the headlining band of the concerts they were on have to play less songs.

[@xarmy5669]

[@Penguins91ify]

None of you know these people so you are just blowing hot steam out your asses. Everyone can seem sweet and genuine in the media. Just, none of you are friends with these rockstars atleast i highly doubt it. So you dont know shit about them

[@charliem.p.4864]

See his face at the very end? It's like he comes back to us. He was in a special head space, living the song. Not a lot of artists do that these days. I love him for it.

[@kamilausagi]

Leaves are on the ground Fall has come Blue skies turning gray Like my love I tried to carry you And make you whole But it was never enough I must go Who is gonna save you When I'm gone? And who'll watch over you When I'm gone? You say you care for me But hide it well How can you love someone And not yourself? Who is gonna save you When I'm gone? And who'll watch over you When I'm gone? And when I'm gone Who will break your fall? Who will you blame? I can't go on And let you lose it all It's more than I can take Who'll ease your pain? Ease your pain Who is gonna save you when I'm gone? Who'll watch over you? Who will give you strength when you're not strong. Who'll watch over you when I've gone away?

Just now discovering Myles Kennedy and how I didn't find him sooner. Definitely way underated

[@brianbradshaw7540]

Glad to have you aboard! Depending on your musical taste I would highly recommend checking out Alter Bridge. Their last four albums have leaned to the heavier side, instrumentally speaking, so if you like your low bass notes and drop tuned guitars, you will enjoy them. Otherwise, songs I would definitely suggest that showcase his vocal ability, are "Open Your Eyes," "Broken Wings," "In Loving Memory," "Blackbird," "Life Must Go On," "All Ends Well," and, of course, the album version of "Watch Over You." Meanwhile, he has his solo record, Year of the Tiger which has country, folk and bluegrass elements and is a great album. And he has recorded three albums with Slash and the Conspirators, as well as lending his voice to Slash's first album on songs "Far From Cali" and the stunningly beautiful "Starlight." Some of his old band, Mayfield Four's stuff is great too. There's a lot of Myles to enjoy there.

[@kimberlyjoyg8169]

The love of my life tragically passed away a few days back due to motorcycle accident while he was on his way to my place. Losing him was my greatest pain. He is my person. Someone I always talk to, go near, my everything. And then all of a sudden he's gone and I'm almost losing it. I badly want to be with him the soonest. Plan ahead of life is just something I just can't see. I can't see anything. I'm very devastated by what happened. All the plans we had together for our future suddenly collapsed in an instant. Listening to this song seems like from him. I love him so much. I hope whatever happens, to all the people trying to accompany me in this journey of grief, know I am very thankful for keeping me up. I'm just so much in pain.

I am so thankful for this song and man. Two years ago I went to a festival for one weekend where he played with Alter Bridge. the Tickets were quite expensive and I spent almost all of my money on it. The festival is in the middle of my hometown so I could sleep at home and spend the day at the festival. The first day of the weekend when I was on my way back home I read the news that at the "sister festival" there was a terror warning...every person had to leave the festival but fortunately nothing happened. In the morning I was almost too scared to go but I listened to this song and it comforted me so much and made me so excited to see Alter Bridge so I did go to the festival to see them play that day. Every time I listen to it it reminds me of that day and the power of music.
