Dimash ~ Ave Maria kzbin.info/www/bejne/o32qaZpopNR5iaM

[@TheCzar1995]

kzbin.info/www/bejne/nKC2nIOgq9qFrJI This is “in this river” live by black label society. It was written by zakk wylde after his childhood best friend dime bag Darrell from Pantera was killed on stage. Much of the live version is guitar solo but the parts I think you would find interesting lie between 6:20 and 7:00 please check it out if you get a chance

[@ivanterrible1980]

I am a hard core metal head, but I also appreciate someone with an amazing voice. I would like to recommend an old-school love ballad, and I am putting it here in hope you will read this since this is your most recent video. One of the greatest rock ballad vocals is the song "She's Gone" by Steelheart. You can thank me later. kzbin.info/www/bejne/l3uqmah6ac2sl8k

To hear what Myles really is capable of you should check out "Words Darker Than Their Wings" from Alter Bridge in the Royal Albert Hall and "Blackbird Live From Amsterdam", they are essential to listen to.

I love the way she becomes a part of the performance, a part of the song, in this video…it’s almost orgasmic in some respects.

[@nightsgrow6575]

What I love particularly about this performance is that Myles is there to complement David. He’s there as support, he’s not there to upstage him

[@bennlloyd12]

Spot on. David gets over looked on this, but this could be his greatest performance ever. Miles sounds great BEACAUSE of DD. 🤘

[@JoseQuirogaP]

I felt the exact same way. With a voice so much higher pitched than David's, it would be pretty easy to upstage David (not saying that David's voice isn't amazing, but higher tones are more noticeable)

[@johnballance1971]

Wow. So, for me, the S&G version feels like a hopeful warning... the Disturbed version feels like anger, bordering on rage that the warning is being ignored... but THIS, with Miles? His voice, brings a desperate frustration. So amazing. Thank you.

[@clairethompson5549]

I totally agree with your tonal descriptions! This one somehow feels like a combination of both hope and anger - like they’re passing along a warning they ignored, and are desperately trying to convey it to others before it’s too late. It’s so moving. Simultaneously hopeful and tinged with deep regret.

[@brianwiltfong8207]

The first time I had heard the Disturbed version of this song, it came on the radio while I was driving and I had to pull into a parking lot somewhere to just sit and cry. At the time, I was losing both my mom & my wife to cancer. Disturbed’s performance with the building crescendo, combined with the sadness, anger and despair of David’s vocals carried, in a few brief moments, all of the emotions that I was feeling. With the addition of Miles’ voice in this version adding a new layer, and yet resonating with David’s vocals, it creates an extra layer of sadness, or like you said, almost an auditory teardrop, to the song at one point. But oddly, it almost made me feel a hint of hope with that addition as well. As you’ve said before, a song and especially a voice, can tell a story and make you feel what the vocalist is feeling. A performance can touch a heart and can maybe change the world, even if it’s the world of just one person when they hear it in the right place and at the right time. I’m still going to “ugly cry” every time I hear this song, but now with this version, there is a little bit of hope mixed in with those tears as well. So an enormous “Thank You” to Disturbed & Miles Kennedy for doing this video, and to you for taking us along on the journey with you as you watched it!

[@jmullet6805]

I was at this concert in Houston. I am a huge Alter Bridge fan and they opened for Breaking Ben and Disturbed for this one. The fact that Myles hit those notes a hour after his 8 song set is absurd to me. I had heard the disturbed cover a few times before this and was blown out of the water during this performance. I had no idea how electric, memorable and moving that performance would be. Its the best performance I have ever seen live and sent chills throughout my body almost the entire song. I believe they did it one more time at Red Rock after this. They put the Houston version on their deluxe release of that album a few months later. Incredible...

[@Kuid4or3]

Didn't like it, David did it better by himself. Was the nature of the song, sound of silence, kinda wrecks it with two voices.. Doesn't have any meaning or the emotion David gave it....

[@dereks1264]

When asked about what he considered the "secret" to great vocal performances, Kennedy replied: "Dig deep into your soul and sing as if your life depends on it. Leave your mark. People react to emotion more than technique." I would add: Depth of emotion coupled with great technique produces outstanding performances.

[@DanKaschel]

It's the sort of thing people with amazing technique always say 😂

[@genesisdacara3520]

This particular version with Myles Kennedy in Houston, is I think the most beautiful, powerful and emotional song ever.

[@dawnewing6951]

Their voices are very complimentary! I haven't even listened to it all the way yet. David draiman's voice brings to mind a feeling of almost a quiet grief. Myles Kennedy's voice evokes feeling of longing to me.

[@douglasernst9477]

I have seen David’s performance quite a number of times. But this with Myles is so superior. Being a manly man, ( blessed with being well versed in cultural experiences ) this performance brings me to tears. So powerful is this rendition. So emotionally constructed. David and Myles with the great talent of Disturb’s band mates and backing orchestra, make for one incredible super powerful performance.

[@laughingachilles]

​@@douglasernst9477 You don't have to point out you are a manly man just because you shed a few tears. Read through history and you will find great conquerors mention shedding tears during certain moments. Only a psychopath lacks enough empathy and emotion to remain dry eyed in all circumstances. A strong willed man is one who feels those emotions but carries on doing whatever he must do. That is not to say we should devolve into floods every time something upsets us of course. Most things should be be experienced with stoic calm, but we are not inhuman pieces of marble and we shouldn't think the occasional wet check means we are not men. All the best :)

[@douglasernst9477]

@@laughingachilles well put my friend. I trust you do not find men dissolve into tears often. In this harsh world there tends to be a few moments of incredible artistic expression that deserve emotional response from all who experience it. I revel in experiencing any and all such moments of artistic beauty versus the relentless humanity versus humanity we witness daily in news these days

[@laughingachilles]

@@douglasernst9477 I don't know many men who cry, at least not in front of others lol. If one of my friends did that in front of me then it would likely be something truly awful had happened and I wouldn't mock them for it. The last time it happened was when a friends wife had a late term miscarriage, which I think is a more than reasonable time for a man to shed some tears. There is also a difference between tearing up when witnessing something incredible and full on crying like a child over it. For example I find myself tear up whenever I watch testimonies of men who fought in WW2 and recount the loss of their friends. It doesn't cause me to weep because I control myself, but the heroism and honour of such men is very moving.

I got to experience Myles live at the Gypsy Tea Room in Deep Ellum (Dallas) almost 20 years ago now when Alter Bridge had just begun. That place is tiny. His voice. It's unlike any I've ever heard. It's so pitch perfect and his range is seemingly endless. That "bite" and "buzz" you spoke of, it reverberates off the walls and flows through your entire body all at once. It's insane. I've been a fan ever since.

[@demondaddy328]

As soon as I saw Myles on this, I clicked. I have been listening to Myles in all of his groups (including Mayfield Four from about 20 yrs ago). His music literally saved my life.

I can’t recommend enough, Alter Bridge: Words Darker Than Their Wings, LIVE! There’s a note at the end that only Myles can hit. They never played the song live before, because it’s so hard to pull off, but anybody who watches it and hears that note has a strong reaction. Trust me, you can thank me later haha.

[@elevown]

Why wouldnt other singers be able to hit that note? (I've heard it) its not THAT high that there are not a few male singers out there who can sing higher and longer notes- (Ive heard them) so they could sing it too. p.s not that he isnt a great singer - and its a great song/performance- but claiming nobody else can sing it is over the top- its not like its a G8 or something lol.

[@dknollRX7]

@@elevown it’s a saying; you don’t have to take it so literally. There may be a small select few with the ability to hit that note, but that doesn’t mean they can pull it off in the same manner. A guitarist can look up the tablature of a song and learn to hit the right notes at the right time, but it won’t have the same sound, emotion or impact as when (let’s say) Steve Vai plays the same notes in the song. Myles was also sick during that performance, which makes it that much more impressive.

[@Paul_Lane]

The cover by Disturbed brought the same emotion to this song, that I have said it needed when I first heard the original. I felt Simon and Garfunkel seemed to rush through it and lacked the intensity and emotional connection the lyrics demanded. Also, watching the tympani player and hearing him was great. Without him, the song would have been missing the foundation it deserves and I would argue requires. Great video. I stumbled on your channel recently and enjoy it. I was once studying opera performance as a bass. Under the teaching of great vocal coach who won many Chicago Met and New York Met competitions going on to sing with the US Army Chorus in the 70s. I married his Alto/Soprano 2 singing daughter 25 years ago! I still enjoy singing with him and my wife. I love how you bring your trained ear and voice to the world of metal.

[@jimclarke8260]

As always, I love Elizabeth's analysis of performances and I learn so much in the process. She hears things that I would never notice. In this video, however, I thought the Myles Kennedy harmonies where significantly different from the Art Garfunkel harmonies. To my ears, Myles was exploring different harmonic intervals from the beginning, as opposed to the constant intervals used by Art. It would be interesting to play the Myles harmony and the Art harmony together on a keyboard. I would be surprised if they were all that similar. If you deviate from the melody of a song very much, you are no longer singing the same song, but there is more freedom with the harmonic notes, and I think Myles took that freedom and ran with it, which is perfect for the Disturbed rendition of the song.

[@carl13579]

You are correct. Myles' harmonies had more freedom, using intervals like a major 7th.

I felt the need to say...if you were in a room between David and Myles with them singing...their power may make your head explode. Those would be some very strong waves! That's what I feel would happen to me. What I love about this they knew how David was going to perform the song and Myles just had to weave above, below and within what David already does. He clearly tried to make them match Simon and Garfunkle at times and then at other times they 'make it their own' but they do so while still in reverence of the original.

Anybody notice after a few missed timings that Dave began subtly using his arm gestures to help direct? The first one was on "narrow streets of cobblestone" where he goes from open hand to closed fist where he wanted the plosive from the word "stone" to be. 5:25 another at 7:33 on "split the night." Very subtle, very smooth way of bringing them into sync. By 8:20 both are dead on.

[@jamesmarschalk5564]

I was hearing the same thing but Elizabeth wasn't bringing it up so I just went with it but then went back and listened and sure enough it's there. I could hear the timing off. I didn't put together that David had started "directing" it but it makes sense as of course Myles doesn't have the experience singing this song the way David has and yes it did bring things back in line. Good call.

[@techiegirl1331]

If I remember correctly, Myles never rehearsed this performance with David. If they did, it was only once. All the more impressive that with little rehearsal how hey pulled this off with minor syncing issues. It's absolutely brilliant! 💯

[@JustThisGuy42]

@@techiegirl1331 I assumed as much otherwise Dave probably wouldn't presume to direct. I think its awesome when artists attempt something that could easily go off the rails but manage to keep it together due to professionalism and experience!

Myles style brings you in. His solo shows are absolutely beautiful and intimate. For a few hours you get to be pulled in - pain, joy and the beauty. The power and emotion.

Hi Elizabeth, I loved this performance. David and Myles did an amazing job on this song, and the difficult high harmonies that Myles sang were on another level. Thanks again to singer-songwriter Paul Simon and singer Art Garfunkel for their original song, and Thank you, Elizabeth!!! 💙

[@TheCharismaticVoice]

Thank you Kirby! Indeed, this is a wonderful performance. ❤

[@skullgirrl757]

I've never heard someone fan girl so hard about a persons literal vocal cords as you did at the 9 minute bit & I loved it 😆

[@mcflotty]

Vocal prowess at it’s finest! I love when people just dig so damn deep and crush a live performance like that. I never take from granted something like that. It’s not just professional. It’s skill, feeling, ability to adapt to another person and most of all, leaving it all on the field. They crushed that performance. I’m really grateful for it

[@Thorn1jm]

Their voices pair together like they were an actual dou team in the same band together. They each compliment each other rather than clashing or canceling each other out. It's such a good harmony so amazing.

[@c.markdavis2143]

Wow now that I’ve heard this I want to hear a real produced version.?There is definitely some magic happening here…. Just when I didn’t think this cover could get any better. Faith in humanity goes up a few notches.

[@jamesmoore3606]

Thank you so much for reacting to this version. First off I was unaware of it. Second, I absolutely love the way you analyze things. It makes me realize exactly what it is I like in things when I can't put a finger on it. I appreciate your analysis.

[@chrisneely9197]

I thank you so much, your ears and voice highlighting the technical aspects of performers is great. More importantly for me is the way you transform my emotion into words when you explain the emotion the performers are trying to convey or invoke. This performance literally brought me to tears and your words just made the impact even more profound. Thank you for being here for us.

[@infernalsymphonytv2928]

It's always refreshing to see a vocalist like David Draiman who is so known for his rougher vocal textures delve into something more soulful and traditional. And having the soaring prowess of Miles is even better. At parts I was actually in disbelief that it was just two voices up there and not a backing choir as well as the way their voices complemented each other was sublime. It gave it an ethereal haunting, almost gospel/biblical feel to it with the orchestral elements simmering away in the back. Simply otherworldly stuff

[@mrdonetx]

David has such a beautiful voice he needs to definitely do more songs like this. I like Disturbed and their sound I never dreamed he had this secret voice range though.

An amazing collab was Slash with Myles Kennedy & the Conspirators, they played both acoustic shows and fully plugged in to rock the house. The Guitar Center Session was an amazing acoustic performance

[@kevinharrison2169]

Hi Elizabeth, you use the words "symbiotic relationship" I hear them in full "synchronicity" - it is just plain bloody awesome!

[@mattybkulas8200]

Just when I thought a song could not ever get any better, you pull this gem!! I think this duet was the pinnacle of this song. Thanks

[@LesSimsJr]

This is a great example of two powerful voices that don’t detract from each other and magnifies the sum. Each could easily overpower the other, but are masterful at complimenting the other. I’d love to see what they’d be capable of if they were able to get substantial time collaborating on something.

[@nooey1487]

Simon and Garfunkel's version was a great song. Disturbed elevated it to an even greater song. And now, David and Myles have made this the highest evolution of the song. I can't imagine anyone ever improving on it at this point.

Yep metal has some of the best voices in music. Matt Heafy, Chester Bennington, Rob Halford, Serj Tankian Bruce Dickinson, its an endless list of incredible voices.

Would love to see a reaction/analysis of Chester's final performance of One More Light. The amount of emotion in that performance is incredible

[@FooMantis]

I love Matt! He does go off key live quite a bit, but his voice is great! Also, if you have any interest in video games, his sister Michelle Heafy has a youtube channel where she does video game music covers, mostly instrumental, but also some vocal singing.
