Dave's Reaction: Alter Bridge - Open Your Eyes

Dave has a silent and furry co-host unexpectedly join him for this one!
Also Dave wonders, if Alter Bridge was a video game, which member would you want to play as?

[@bryanlogue1]

To answer Daves question Alter Bridge are massive in the UK, hard work paid off for them. Back in 2003/04 when they formed, they signed to the same label as Creed (Wind Up Records) as did Scott Stapp. The label put all their money on Stapp and basically didn’t know what to do with AB so sent them to Europe on tour and we fell in love with them. I’ve watched them go from playing tiny club size venues here in Scotland to playing our biggest arenas up and down the UK. Hardest working and nicest guys in rock music today.

They're way more popular in Europe than in the states. Many think it's cuz the states knew they were Creed before, where Creed never really toured Europe. At least that's the general consensus that Europe sees AB as Ab where people in the states see it as Creed 2.0

[@samechick]

This makes sense to me. Thanks for your input.

[@josephdean3722]

I would choose Mark Tremonti all day,he is the GOAT!!!

[@andrewprice6418]

Immediately hitting the like button!!! Love it! Keep the AB reactions coming!!

[@johnabbott257]

They're very popular in Europe because they still rock over there. The US has become a hip-hop situation... LOL

[@shahir1395]

and because they come from the ashes of Creed who happened to be a christian band. over there in the US they like catchy, hip hop, materialistic more than emotion, compassion, unity.

[@gerbie42]

I have seen AB live a lot of times now, all in Europe. From what I've heard they're more popular overseas than they are in the US. Apparently in the US it's the whole creed-stigma surrounding it that makes people less interested... until they hear them that is.

[@johnwoodberry3707]

Far bigger fan base across Europe man! If they were around in the 80's/90's they would be as huge as Metallica for sure worldwide! Another favourite of mine is Brand New Start, the solo from Mark is a real treat

[@samechick]

Helloooo John! Here's Dave's reaction to Brand New Start, thank you [very much] for the suggestion! kzbin.info/www/bejne/r5K3hqR7eLd0nK8

[@michaeldinsen7641]

Tremonti is incredible

[@sethseiden9604]

It would be cool to hear a few Creed tunes sprinkled in. Can you take me higher?

[@samechick]

Hi Seth! Here is Dave's reaction to Creed's Higher kzbin.info/www/bejne/gJ25Y3WcqtuLZ68 Thanks for the suggestioN!

[@aybarskokmen8884]

They are very popular and respected here in Europe. I think they are not known in USA because of the creed background. I never heard of creed maybe that’s why in Europe they are this popular

[@atharvadeshpande7210]

You sir definitely need to check out Metalingus from the same show ! It's high adrelaine song 🔥🔥🔥

[@samechick]

Hi Atharva! I've added this song to our list, thank you for the suggestion!

[@lh1678]

I used to get viciously crucified as an ex-drummer for speeding up the tempo of songs. This song sounds like it's in warp drive by everyone in the band.

[@thebest3921]

I love this series

[@ravenlunatic1168]

Far more popular in europe than in the US for some reason

[@stephenbegbie7332]

I appreciate your review of this song, but this version you have just shown has been sped up, and is not normal. Listen to the album track or original videoclip. I am sure you will be suitable, even more blown away. Cheers!

[@samechick]

Oh wow I had no idea, thank you for letting us know!

[@cordelial.6249]

Sadly rock is dead in the US (and my Country- Australia). Europe is where they do the best because rock is very much alive there. Personally I'm biased towards bass so I'd choose Bryan Marshall as most underrated! Great reaction!!!

[@dylanjacobs7491]

You should react to some of the live from Amsterdam show, myles vocals sound a lot better than in this try “rise today”

[@samechick]

Hi Dylan! Recommend a song from this show and I'll add it to our list =)
