Alter Bridge - Fortress (LIVE AT THE ROYAL ALBERT HALL) (REVIEW!!!)

[@Pepsolman]

Words Darker Than Their Wings - from the same performance. The high note Myles hits in that song... it will jaw drop stun you. A must!

Yeah, absolutely!!!

definitely one of my favorite songs of theirs right now

[@TodaysAngler]

Ok ok ok...since you are looking at live performances...WHERE THE HECK are the recommendations of "Watch Over You" live at Amsterdam??? It's time for you guys and everyone else to hear Myles sing CLEAN. Smash the thumbs up if you agree?

[@jakeclark9126]

Myles Kennedy is one of the greatest living rock vocalist. No question. Alter Bridge is also one of the best live rock bands I have ever seen. They sound just as good on stage as they do on an album. Sometimes, they sound better live. Great review and I'm truly looking forward to seeing the full live show from RAH.

[@austinmcdaniel4162]

Oh absolutely I saw him solo doing his own album acoustic and it was amazing

[@jakeclark9126]

No doubt. Even his work with Slash is incredible. I saw AB in Atlanta shortly after Blackbird was released. They opened with Come to Life and Mark blew an amp. So Myles Kennedy pulled out a steel guitar and played a couple songs without missing a beat. Unbelievable experience.

[@jakeclark9126]

That's fair. In terms of sheer range and vocal accuracy, his voice is amongst the best.

[@redrumash]

Jake Clark You will not be disappointed. When I saw it live it gave me goosebumps, watching the releases on KZbin gave me the same feelings. Make sure you have a great sound system because it’s incredible

[@seanmiller7889]

Yeah Myles is incredible! Definitely one of if not the best singer in Rock or any genre today.

[@jtgood1972]

The States need to give these guys their due, they are a Monster in Europe but unfortunately here in the U.S. they get zero airplay or respect (except by their loyal fans). Myles is the best rock vocalist of the past 20 years and Mark is second to none on the guitar. Anybody that thinks this band is Creed part 2 is a fool!!! Alter Bridge is the best, most consistent band and IMO the band that sets the bar in Rock and Metal today.

[@jeremyphillips2411]

Full disclosure, I decided when this band started that they were Creed 2.0 never listened to anything they put out cuz I didn't want to hear another Creed.. One of the reasons I love this channel, they turn me on to new music & in the case, old music that I turned away, for no reason, a long time ago...

[@kurtg8861]

AB fn rocks!! F the radio play, they don’t need it.

[@sn8keeyes193]

These guys are like one of the few bands that can play good old school rock and roll.

[@lobeck2]

100% agree! It saddens me when I ask people if they know Alter Bridge they won’t know who I’m talking about until I say that it’s creed with a different singer... which I hate doing, because AB is like a whole other world away from Creed! People need to start coming in to their world more!

[@sn8keeyes193]

@@lobeck2 Totally agree. The band now is totally different then they were with Stapp. Its like musically they go from like a 5 to 11!

[@gatorhead324]

No one in metal or rock can touch Alterbridge. Vocals, musicians, unbeatable

[@hugemuscles100]

It’s been this way since they started

[@AcesOrion]

You guys should listen to Words Darker Than Their Wings from the same concert. It's one of their harder songs to sing so it was their first time performing it live, and they did it flawlessly IMO.

[@lukarapaic1801]

[@jacobskinner4040]

Seriously you hit the nail on the head

[@Retrorevelations]

That and Mark's singing parts on that are a highlight.

[@jacobknoles5053]

Myles crushes it

It gives me chills listening to the live version of Words Darker Than Their Wings. Myles and Tremonti absolutely killed that song.

[@glqm88]

I know I'm late on the comments but I just wanted to say that I was in the audience that night at The Royal Albert Hall. The DVD really doesn't do justice to the sheer power of the band with the backing of a proper orchestra, it was an amazing night! As for hearing the vocalist - I've seen Myles with AB (with and without an orchestra) and with Slash, and every time he was clear as day - he is definitely one of the best vocalists working today.

[@Drumming_Monkey]

I'm so jealous. What an experience this must have been. :)

[@dknollRX7]

Alter Bridge is awesome and highly UNDERrated. You never hear them on the radio and there’s way too many people who don’t know any of their work. Myles is one of the best vocalists I’ve ever heard...all while struggling with tinnitus too.

[@yyyo03]

Never clicked so fast! I f*ing love Alter Bridge! Thank you!

[@toddc3988]

With you. Anything Alter Bridge gets a click from me.

[@Freedum_Fries]

I dont think they will ever not like an alter bridge song. because they are the best.

[@benpinkus5959]

Words Darker Than Their Wings from the Royal Albert Hall album is incredible, believe its the only time they've ever played the song live.

[@GS-um4kq]

And that note was amazing

[@jordanwolfson8378]

They did it here in Spokane WA (Myles' hometown) in December 2017 and it was amazing!

[@justinvernon5211]

They played this song last year in Biloxi.

[@flip1523]

Y’all love Brian Marshall’s bass playing? He’s definitely the most underrated bassist out there.

[@dominic0917]

I just stumbled upon this while looking for the video and I love how y'all react to it. It's so genuine and I love how you appreciate the work they put in to create the sound they have. Everyone is so talented within the band and what they've created with their sound is something that is so special. I was supposed to see them live in May this year but unfortunately the pandemic stopped me from being able to.

[@TheHeath68]

Yes!!! You guys NEED NEED NEED to check out Words Darker Than Their Wings live at this concert! It was the first time ever playing it and its absolutely incredible!!

Greg Potter Gojira have already shared their videos. I think when it comes to music reaction channels, they're right on top. They always provide good insight instead of just listening to the song and going "wow, that was (insert vague opinion)".

[@gregpotter6675]

[@patfix]

Well, it wouldn't be good marketing if they didn't right? Given the publicist asked them to do this. Still, AB is awesome and so are the Lost in Vegas guys so any exposure has my blessing.

[@kaigai-nikimajikoi325]

Something about combining the orchestra with the modern sound of metal always hits a spot for me. You get these hard sounding riffs and the subtle way that the other strings of the violins help emphasize the mood of the core song was great. I personally gotta give props to the guy on the xylophone looking instrument cuz he was holding like 4 sticks hitting several notes and shit making me look at him like "HOW YOU DO THAT???" lmao great live performance from Alter Bridge and dope reaction fellas.

[@aaronmoen7402]

You heard Supermacy by Muse? If you havent and like orchestra mixed with heavy rock, that is the song for you :)

[@playingwithknivs]

A large portion of metal draws influence from classical music, so it's reasonable for the two to blend well together.

[@bluerockstudios5812]

Too bad the mix is garbage...you can easily forget the orchestra is even there

[@Grover91]

Blue rock studios on the DVD you can hear everything. I think it's where they're playing it over speakers then coming back through their mic. 👍

[@alanmeyer2699]

This is in no way metal. Hard rock at best.

I highly recommend Alter Bridge Words Darker Than Their Wings also live from the Royal Albert Hall. Myles Kennedy hits an other worldly high note at the end

[@GunnerSG]

This was a magical show! I was fortunate enough to attend it. Worked at a fast food joint to accumulate enough money to attend this concert. Every penny and every minute I worked for this was worth it. Seen them perform before but this is by far their best show. A majestic venue and an unforgettable show! One of the best shows I have ever attended! Thanks for the reaction guys!

[@llllllllllama]

Guys, you should make an exception and listen to their whole discografy. You wont regret it. Just about their solos, in many of them they both takes part in it, Myles and Mark, similar to Blackbird, first half is Myles, second one is Mark. So they both sing, they both guitar, they both amazing. Band like this happens once in a lifetime. Next: Myles Kennedy, love can only heal, AB - In loving memory, Cradle to the grave. Cheers guys!

Alter Bridge's whole catalog is AMAZING! Saw them live at Carolina Rebellion and they blew me away! Great video as usual guys!

[@oisinmcphillips2090]

I think checking out some of Mark Tremonti's solo work is a good idea, much more 'metal' than Alter Bridge, where he sings lead vocals. A Dying Machine or You Waste Your Time would be good choices.

[@frankmarinucci9782]

Oisin McPhillips Yes, we want Tremonti project!

[@braverleonheart5035]

The entire A Dying Machine album is fantastic. Could do any track off that.

[@davidstott2534]

Awesome one guys! It doesn't surprise me that Alter Bridge reached out to you guys, some of the nicest guys going. As usual they knock it out of the park (I am with George tho, I miss the 'Fortress coming down' part in the chorus but I imagine that shit is hard to sing and play at the same time). This was shot in London and in the UK they are a big deal, it's crazy that they don't get as much love in their homeland, USA, the music industry must be pretty bad over there from the little bits I've heard. Not all of their songs are epic haha, they do simpler songs that are still catchy as hell with great musicianship, vocals and catchy-as-hell choruses. Love it nice one guys!

Far and away your Alter Bridge reactions are my favorites. GREAT job over all, but I actually get giddy when I see you have dropped a reaction to AB.

[@Downhuman74]

That show opens with Slip To the Void. Good luck trying not to lose your fucking minds when you hear that song for the first time. Simply one of their best.

[@gregpotter6675]

Holy shit!! I'm blown away!! Just when I thought Alter Bridge couldnt impress me more, they CRUSHED it!! I'm a big fan of Alter Bridge and I think Myles Kennedy and David Drayman of Disturbed (please, more DISTURBED!) are two of the best rock/metal singers out there! I had the pleasure to see and hear Myles & David sing a few songs together and I was floored! While Myles Kennedy and Mark Tremonti are given greatness, the guy that is so underrated is their bassist, Brian Marshall!! He is DOPE AF on those bass lines, and being a big fan of bass, I think he ranks up their with Geddy Lee (Rush), Chris Squire (Yes), and Flea (Red Hot Chili Peppers). Brain's bass list are SICK and really give depth to their sound. Brain just took it next level on this performance and it was probably sadly missed by some of those attending. George, the reason the music didnt drowned out the vocals here is that Myles has such a powerful voice he could be heard over hurricane!! I've heard this song many times off the album, but I am so grateful you guys played the live version!! It was FUCKIN' EPIC!! Ryan & George, in all sincerity, I just love how you guys are so open and so knowledgeable of music in general and how you get so excited when you hear musical and vocal greatness, no matter what the genre. I love rock, metal, hip-hop, rap, country and blues and I can tell you that when you keep an open mind, the world of music, as well as the world itself, becomes special. I love you guys for making me appreciate, even more, the music I know and you have introduced me to artists I didn't know. You guys are special to me for that gift. I'm sure that other patrons on this channel, including myself, know that we are getting a fuckin' bargain for the $1 we spend to be Patrons on your Patreon channel (and if you aren't, folks, what are you waiting for??).The entertainment and knowledge you share with us all is priceless. God Bless ya both, Ryan & George...much love & respect, your Patron, fan, and friend...Peace, Greg (aka "G-Money")

[@jenniferdelp75]

Every single word of this AMEN.

[@skeletankmcgraw7343]

Yeah, Brian is always overlooked. I grew up down the street from his parent's house, but I was only like 8-10 years old when he went away to college (where he became a founding member of Creed by the time I was in high school). HIs parents were really nice because they let me and my friends use their basketball goal to play basketball all the time. I also remember Creed being big at my high school because everyone found out he graduated from the same high school. It is a vague memory, but I remember one summer I was at his parent's house with a friend shooting hoops and I am pretty sure he was home for the summer, but he was in the garage practicing his bass guitar. I am pretty sure I met him and said "hi" and all that but I was super young and Creed wasn't even a thing yet (this was probably during the formative years of Creed I assume). All I knew at the time is he was the Marshalls' son who was home from college for the summer.

8:11. It’s a short list for modern hard rock but Alter Bridge are at the top, make no mistake. It’s them, A7X , and the rest. But you could go back further into the roots of modern hard rock, to find different artists.. The sound from Candlebox’s 1993 album predicts a lot of what became the modern rock genre in the 2000s. I’d say check out “You” or “Far Behind” as a real reaction. Great songs.

[@chrisventura8849]

Goodfella actually that’s a pretty good call on Candlebox.

[@jenniferdelp75]

Yes. Love Candlebox!!!!!!!

[@goodfella2400]

Loki Bane Slash is phenomenal. And I would add the Conspirators to be another top current modern rock band. GNR were the zenith of classic hard rock though - taking elements of 60s/70s, blues, punk, metal, folk, and blending into one with Les Pauls and Marshalls fully cranked. UYI does have a more modern production quality however.

[@chrisventura8849]

Jennifer Delp Candlebox - Don’t You and Change sound ahead of their time, IMO

[@rafaelbarbosa2201]

and the royal albert hall is the maximum you can reach as a rockstar...

[@mrs.martin3158]

Myles is incredible. He has said in interviews that he suffers from tinnitus (ring in the ears). How does he do it????? He gives credit to the technology in his ear piece, but really he is too modest. Love him.

[@jayphillips4289]

I love how this band if finally getting some much deserved love. Your videos always make me smile because I have been on this bandwagon since before day 1 (I remember waiting for their first album to release back in high school). Their shows are more than worth it too btw.

[@CptToast_]

I have seen them live 4 times now and they’ve been incredible each and every time. They are the nicest guys as well, can’t recommend their concerts and their whole discography enough.

[@smw147]

You should listen to "The End Is Here" from the official youtube audio from this concert. It is outstanding and really combines them with the orchestra well. Also agree on the missing "Fortress Coming" backing vocals in the chorus. The chorus loses something without it.

[@Frans_W31]

Also from their performance at The Royal Albert Hall, you guys have to check out "Words Darker Than Their Wings" - Myles probably smashes one of the highest notes I have heard from a live performance. Kennedy and Tremonti are the tastiest guitarists you are likely to hear, mixed with Kennedy's amazing vocal ability and range. Alter Bridge is just way better than any other alternative rock band out there!!

[@waynewhatley3013]

Seether - Fine Again. It will make your playlist.

[@kimberlypoole5325]

Thank you, thank you, thank you for turning me on to Alter Bridge.... I love this band.... Ya'll brought them to my attention, & I am forever grateful....

[@ryanf4497]

I just watched the concert and was completely blown away. It's the best thing I have ever heard. There were parts that made me cry. Broken Wings was the main culprit for me crying. The interaction with the crowd along with the orchestra was beautiful. Please check out the version of Broken Wings from this show. I guarantee you will not be disappointed!

[@garytackett8426]

Look up Devin Townsend Project at the same place

[@mikekirby639]

Grace

[@drumotastic]

Deadhead! Epic and flawless!!

[@Kabz8]

Deadhead. Ive requested it 100 times

[@garytackett8426]

Maybe I should get Ryan VanPoederooyen to message these guys.. lol

[@Nachtopus]

ALTER BRIDGE - OPEN YOUR EYES

[@kilquik88]

One of the best

[@Ashitaka1110]

Seconded. Beautiful song, really meaningful lyrics for what's going on socially in this country right now.

[@Frydaddyj84]

Had the pleasure of seeing Alter Bridge way back in 2005, I've also watched a lot of their live vids. They bring it like this every damn time. Always great energy, always spot on performances. You asked who are the upper tier rock bands around today and they're certainly one of them. They're actually underrated I think. Which I know seems ridiculous when they pack houses like this, but average people are mostly unaware of them. And they're probably the best live band of the bunch, one of the best period in my opinion. They've also had the staying power that only a small handful of rock bands today have. Breaking Benjamin would be another one, maybe Three Days Grace (meh) and honestly it's hard to think of any others of note. Most mainstream friendly rock is so uninspired these days.

[@jordanwolfson8378]

This is how i always imagine this song in my head; there's a castle somewhere, a Fortress, kind of like Minas Tireth from LOTR. The lords of the castle look out onto a large, open plain, and see a massive army staged around for miles and miles outside on the plain (the buildup to the solo). Then, the battle begins (the solo), and then afterwards, the quiet part, is the King looking amidst the wreckage of his Fortress. Then, the ending part, is him giving one last battle with his own sword, and being defeated. This song to me is like one gigantic movie piece in my head!

[@Solange5Cornell]

You guys are my favorite song reviewers!! Always Real, Honest & love that you try to understand the meaning of a song as well as all the musical & vocal components. You are the Best!!! Much Respect & Love 🙏 . So, I have listened to all your Alter Bridge videos whom are 1 of my all time favorite bands. Vocally, lyrically & musically. I would love & so appreciate if you would listen to Native Son. It’s such a powerful song! Please! You won’t be disappointed. Thank you so much!! Peace & Love Always!!

[@vickypolychronou6215]

We need more Alter Bridge!!!

[@ThanagosWoW]

You want metal mixed with a live orchestra? Metallica S&M 1999. All the songs are great, but Sad But True and Nothing Else Matters really mix well with the orchestra. Check it out!

[@FluffyMcFluffavicMeowskiOFluff]

Outlaw Torn, Ktulu, Bleeding Me all deserve a listen... The whole god damn album is fucking perfect and epic

[@quentinalsip2084]

Agreed. Wherever I May Roam is my personal favorite from S&M. I've been asking them to react to it for a while...

[@jenniferdelp75]

Hero of the Day

[@XavyDraven]

No Leaf Clover!

[@BulletBill87]

@@XavyDraven No Leaf Clover is the only reason to buy that album in my opinion. From what I remember, it's the only song not found on another CD and it's really good. Not too big on Metallica anymore though... I'll listen to the first 4 CDs every now and then but everything else is overdone

[@donaldcoseglia5821]

Alter bridge does no wrong. can't wait to listen to this whole show(s). awesome guitar solos here.

[@davidgraham8299]

Guys if you don't check out Words Darker Than Their Wings from the same show, you ARE missing out!

[@R0ss84]

david graham spot on! Please check this masterpiece out! You’ll see Myles Kennedy hit the most insane note at the end! They get a standing ovation for this performance and rightfully so! Goosebumps!

[@marmac44902]

Thank you for inviting me to the party! First let me say that I love the vibes you guys are sending out. I saw one of your earlier segments where you say we don't support R&B. So if you don't mind I would like to suggest a new tune from a man that is a part of this crop of young amazing black violinist. Damien Escobar the name of the song is "Fuse" thanks guys and keep doing what your doing.

[@phillyboyfloyd7050]

TREMONTI!!any of his solo stuff.try last mistake

[@saidoterodiseno]

Oh yeah! Tremonti solo project is AMAZING. These guys haven't a single bad song. Brutal riffs, amazing solos and the great melodic vocals of Mr. Mark Tremonti.

[@igornunes4938]

That would be the greatest review

[@davidweber7153]

You guys should listen to the live version of Words Darken Than Their Wings from the same performance . The Song was written 7 years before that performance. Fans have been asking for it for ages and that night it got its live debut. Mark Tremonti also sings some verses

[@austinmarshall5102]

Nightwish - ghost love score live. Angelic voice

[@jeremym6779]

New subscriber here. Im not sure what you guys are lacing these videos with, but I'm straight up addicted. Been cracked out all weekend. Keep up the good work.

[@simonattley6573]

I could watch you guys review Alter Bridge all day! You guys should review the entire Live from the Royal Albert Hall DVD. Love how you guys kept saying "this is not a sponsored video!" Anytime you guys wanna catch an AB concert I'm hanging with you!
