Alter Bridge (Words Darker Than Their Wings) Kel-n-Rich's First Reaction

[@glqm88]

I have been going to gigs for almost 40 years now (yes, I'm ancient) and I was there that night and I can honestly say it was one of the best shows I've ever seen. The video really doesn't do it justice - the sheer power and majesty of a superb band at the top of their game in full flow backed by a full orchestra in a beautiful, historic and acoustically brilliant venue was a fantastic moment. It is a memory that will live with me forever.

[@jamesdarby8671]

Lucky dawg, I just got tickets to the listening party for Walk the Sky, I'm pumped!

[@glqm88]

@@jamesdarby8671 Nice. So looking forward to the album. I just got my tickets for the gig at the O2 London for the 21st December. So that'll make for a nice Christmas. Plus Shinedown are support, so that's a nice bonus.

You guys so cute hearing toghether!!! 👏👏🎯🇧🇷🇧🇷

[@alleneh]

Thank you!!! You made this 71 year old music lover very happy by reacting to this amazing performance. Myles is an amazing vocalist, made even better by his humbleness. I appreciate the why of closing your eyes but by doing so you missed a lot, especially the look of appreciation he gets when he hits that note

[@johns20901]

Ditto what Alleneh said. Myles is awesome. I also notice that Kel sometimes misses things because of the way she focuses. But she knows this also, and sometimes she goes back and listens again, but with the video. I am a big Nightwish fan, and that is a case where the video is usually a help, not a hindrance. I started listening to Rich and Kel right when they started, and really enjoy them.

[@johns20901]

Oh I am 71 also !

Agreed. That note, that look, worth seeing.

[@th5708]

great reaction.....God bless you both.....Rich, love the Priest shirt... :)

[@nathanreynolds8445]

I know you don't know me, but I just wanted to say I love you both. So much. Your story, your purpose, your reason. You each seem to live vicariously through one another, in complete organic fashion. Mark Tremonti is who instilled within me the need, the desire, to begin playing guitar, in 1997. The Creed days. When Creed disbanded and Alter Bridge released its first album in 2004, I was hooked from note one. I came for the Alter Bridge reactions, stayed for your stories, and am an eternal viewer and supporter of your channel. I'm legally blind, but I can outplay many. All without picks : ) You each haven't an idea just how much your reactions, stories, love and chemistry truly mean to me.

I love you guys and your channel. You two are such a beautiful couple, and your reactions to alter bridge have really seemed to connect me to you guys. I lost my father just before the new year, and blackbird took on a whole new meaning to me. I'm glad it gave you the same amazing feeling it gave me. Remember the good times! Love you guys! Alter bridge is an amazing group and their music... has meaning. Its awesome!

[@Sixdfive]

Talent like this makes you cry..the pure appreciation for true musicians. Lifelong fan..from day one. Blackbird out!

[@tuliodamasceno6207]

That's my favorite song from Alter Bridge. Such emotion envolved, and I'm so happy you guys listened to it! I would suggest now Waters Rising =) Thank you for you reaction, cheers from Brazil!

[@techiegirl1331]

I discovered your channel tonight with your Alter Bridge Blackbird reaction. When you opened with his son passing 11 weeks prior, I knew there would be tears with the song. I felt your pain immensely and completely related to Kel's emotions. AB is my absolute favorite band! Both Myles and Mark have new solo albums (Mark's won't drop until Sept) but 2 songs have recently released and they're incredible! Myles' "Ides of March" dropped in May and there's not a day that I don't listen to AB, Myles' or Mark's music. I adore you two, your authenticity, your love for each other, and your love of music (I also grew up sheltered, Kel). I have mad love for the reason behind your channel with Jared. I was a live production audio engineer for a decade and music is my ultimate passion. I love watching y'all be fully encompassed by what you're listening to.! Kel, I was admiring your Delain shirt (she's incredible!) and loved learning at the end of your video that it was an anonymous gift! Love and Light to you both!

[@benoitauclair6343]

I don't know what I like the most, your lovefor the music or your love for each other.

[@shamalamadingdong5718]

Kel nailed it with her description of this band. I like a lot of music and jam out to it but Alter Bridge just sits on top because of the way they compose and perform their songs. They leave no stone unturned to try to get every bit of emotion and power out of every song. When you combine the musicianship with the content and themes of the songs and then top it off being presented with that voice it just completely engulfs my mind and soul. Technical ability is awesome but give me passion and heart any day of the week. Plus Myles is definitely a very humble guy. So are the rest of them. I could go on and on about what their music has meant to me but I will just say that I am glad you two are enjoying their music. Rock on!

[@johncourtright1632]

I was waiting for you to react to this one! It's amazing! I love how Mark Tremonti's voice is the perfect complement to Myles. Mark is a great singer but Myles' vocals are out of this world. On the flip-side, Myles is a great guitarist but Mark is out of this world on guitar. And they are both incredibly humble. They are absolutely a gift to the world! I've been blessed to see both Alter Bridge and Tremonti (Mark's other band) live. Incredible music and they are both a class act! Keep those Alter Bridge reactions coming! You guys are awesome!

[@Temporal72]

Loved your reation!, you earned a new subscriber!, I love Alter Bridge, I'm so hyped about their new album, and this version, Words Darker Than Their Wings is one of my favorite songs by them, you really enjoyed it :)

These guys play an absolutely entrancing live show. Every time they tour here, I buy tickets. Not a single bad song in their repertoire in my opinion. Glad you two are enjoying the journey! If you don't have this live DVD, it's an incredible journey from track 1 to finish. Chills every song. I bought a bigger stereo after the first playthrough!

[@TripletDad3]

Two requests for you, that I think Kel would really like. First one is Alter Bridge: Watch Over You Second is Queen: The Show Must Go On Both have fantastic lyrics and great vocal performances.

Very glad you guys hot around to this. Both guys' vocals are so great, Mark's voice is so silky smooth and his harmonies with Myles sound great. And Myles... that note... good god.

Alter Bridge is so grounded, yet takes you to that special plane where you can explore your inner self. When I listen to them I can actually see colours in my mind's eye. Very few bands or musicians can do that.

[@clivemerritt]

this channel is great, well done Kel for embracing the dark side ! Your both an inspiration, I have a 3 year old son, I can’t even bear the thought that one day I might be alive and he wouldn’t, I’ve been listening to Alter Bridge since 2004, they still absolutely blow me away, their music is of the highest quality, the talent within that band is immense, we don’t even need to recommend songs by them, just hand pick any track you want because there all so good, looking forward to more Slipknot though, PLEASE listen to Disasterpiece it the album Iowa, good job guys

Yes! You did THE song! You should also know that their new album is due this fall followed by a world tour - go and see them live, I know I will! :) They have so many tremendously amazing songs and I could just say go listen to them all, but there are a few that are just out of this world stunning, so I'll just list a few : #AlterBridge Open Your Eyes, Before Tomorrow Comes, Watch Over You, Ghost Of Days Gone By, Waters Rising, Fortress, Poison In Your Veins, Lulea Sweden. There's just not one song by AB that encompasses all the emotions they make me feel. It's just simply because they move my very core.

[@benbond3433]

You guys are too damn cute. It's rare that people, specifically couples, have no problem being openly and unapologetically honest about each other and also the love for shared music. Seriously, are there really more powerfully pure things to a human being? Btw, Alter Bridge is indeed badass, and Myles is indeed inhumanely talented.

Met Myles quite a few times and he is the nicest most humble guy you could ever meet and the guy just oozes talent....every project he does is just amazing.

Hey Kel N Rich, hope you two are havin a good day.. I have (what a surprise) another song request... So this is a song about life in general, and how quick it can pass by, at least by my interpretation. The song is awesome and the video just as good, it has a powerful message and not to mention the incredible talent of the drummer. As a fellow musician you'd have to appreciate the skill this drummer has he is not only managing the incredible skill it takes to play metal drumming but is also one of the lead singers as well, incredible talent. The band is named Atreyu, and I have loved this band since they performed a song for the movie Underworld with Kate Beckinsale (sorry for spelling). Atreyu has a great range of songs and many have just as powerful meaning and helped me get through my time in the Canadian Armed forces when I was missing home. Have a good day guys #Atreyu The Theft Detroit, USA I know you like to do Blocks of a couple videos for each band so here's a couple other suggestions for other songs; #Atreyu Her Portrait In Black #Atreyu Lip Gloss and Black #Atreyu Lead Sails and a Paper Anchor ROCK ON YOU TWO !nn!

You guys should definitely check out some of Tremonti's solo stuff as has been suggested, as you can see he can sing pretty damn good himself. Myles has been around a lot longer than people realise; starting off in a jazz/blues band called Citizen Swing, to the more alt. rock Mayfield Four before joining AB, then becoming Slash's frontman before releasing his own solo album in 2018, these guys are prolific. That being said #AlterBridge - The Last Hero is an epic tune I'm trying to sneak on the list but you can't go wrong with these guys.
