Alter Bridge's Mark Tremonti + Myles Kennedy Play Their Favorite Riffs

[@leodavinci9682]

I just hope that if Loudwire still exists in 25 years, there will be a rockband sitting there and playing the riff of blackbird on this format :D

[@brkkrkya]

Blackbird on Hello Kitty guitar :))

[@Victor-vx9nu]

No, there won’t.

[@ESPHetfield]

@@Victor-vx9nu fuck up

[@OZHKAR1]

They played iconic riffs but their own ones sounded much better

[@MrFerRoche]

I want to be in that band (?)

[@jaycue7641]

Blackbird is a overlooked modern hard rock classic. I don’t know anyone who doesn’t like that song.

[@m1ghtycs]

That song is a masterpiece. Lyrics, riffs and them solos back to back... gives me chills every time.

[@MegaChorro123]

Corbin Dallas One of the greatest songs of all time imo. Such an underrated classic

[@shaurya6601]

'Blackbird' is the hard rock ballad to end all hard rock ballads.

[@ajayyadav-qu5pn]

thats a good thing. dont want it to be played everywhere

[@fanamatakecick97]

Man, it is objectively the best song ever written

[@centralia83]

Blackbird is one of my favorite songs by alter bridge. That song is a masterpiece and the lyrics are so powerful

[@janteo1]

when i listen to blackbird i get a weird feeling, i get sad because i don't think i 'l hear something better in my life

[@roegue6572]

@@janteo1 yo if you want more great music you should listen to altered state by tesseract, the whole album gives me goosebumps

[@sandysores9381]

This duo is a national treasure!

[@thyop89]

I could watch these guys noodle round for hours, they're so charismatic without even trying and down to earth. I love seeing rockstars who are musicians first. There's nothing worse than a band who get too gets wrapped up in the idea of being rockstars and forget that they went into the industry to create art. So happy that Alter Bridge never forgot this and it's why they're the best active hard rock band today.

[@25748410]

Two of the best guitarists around telling stories how they picked up the guitar and fell in absolute love with it Cheers to loudwire for having them

[@philipreedwallace]

Abhradeep Guha I was gonna say the same thing

[@tudoot]

Well objectively speaking they are not among the best as of now but good for sure

There is only one guitarist there. The other dabbles.

[@stretchopotomus2385]

I absolutely love Mark Tremonti's fingerpicked riffs.

[@Aerodogg13]

I believe that Myles Kennedy is the best singer Slash has ever recorded with. The chemistry they have with the Conspirators is amazing.

[@guitarlair]

no, thats Axl

[@TheColebyArnett]

Leandro Monteiro lololololol. Axl fucking sucks dude... Seriously?

[@TheColebyArnett]

EJT0002 Axl sings like a bag full of cats dude...

[@ritammukherjee1276]

Axl might suck live but damn can he sing in the studio.... You know your voice chokes the shit out of it...when you scream for 3 hours every day...and specially the way axl does it

[@josephsharp5678]

The best singer that Slash played with in my opinion was Rod Jackson from the second Snakepit Album he made in 2000.

[@mcblocks123]

Just saw Myles with slash a couple days ago in Orlando and I’m gonna see him with alter bridge at the same venue in October

[@emilio_319]

Jeremiah Staab Me too. Going to both Orlando gigs! 🤘😎🤘 BTW, Tremonti and Scott Phillips were both at the Slash show in Orlando. I met them at the bar on my way out and got pictures with both.

[@paulforester6996]

Wearing my concert shirt when I seen them in Fort Wayne Indiana for around $40. That was a great deal.😎👍

[@jacksongarrett467]

Dude same

[@mmartin581]

Jeremiah Staab where are they playing?

[@mcblocks123]

Michael Martin Hard Rock Cafe at universal studios Florida boardwalk

[@dakotaadams5500]

Imagine having Scott Stapp and Myles Kennedy as your vocalist in the two bands you’ve ever been in. What a lucky guy 😂. Tremonti is a beast.

[@toddcarlsson]

These guys are legends, Alter Bridge is the best modern rock band imo

[@kaitlyncall5995]

I love these guys so much they're incredibly talented and highly underrated

[@austinrmoser]

So Myles wrote that heavy ass riff in Wouldnt you Rather. Never would have guessed that, but thats awesome.

[@MetalDisciple97]

He also wrote the main riff of Island Of Fools. He is a riff machine as well

[@InsertNameHereCO]

I believe it. Miles is a badass guitarist, but there's something about Mark Tremonti that makes him one of the greatest guitarists.

[@austinrmoser]

@@InsertNameHereCO i would say Myles is equally great, his lead playing is on another level. Hes one of those players that adds significantly to the music by doing as little as possible (most of the time) and for that reason he goes sorely unnoticed

[@InsertNameHereCO]

@@austinrmoser I agree. The thing is they are both amazing. Especially when they have their guitar solo "battles" like miles can keep up with Mark 100%. Ao I'm definitely not saying miles is bad, he's great. But like I said its just something about Mark playing is greatness lol

[@donnykees5848]

Austin Moser Mark Tremonti and Slash have both said that Myles is the most diverse guitarist in both bands. He was a guitar instructor when Mark called him to join the band.

[@jackreeves6452]

Surprising that Myles wrote the Wouldn't you rather, had Mark's fingerprints all over it! Lovely!

[@MetalRob81]

I'm sure some of Mark's playing has worn off on Myles. Those guys gel really well.

[@theandiller]

Agreed!

[@pantokrator1988]

u shouldnt be... he is a beast and he used to be a guitar teacher... he also gave some lessons to slash if u can imagine that lol

[@amostlyreasonableguy]

pantokrator1988 I can. Slash is a creative beast and responsible for some of the coolest stuff in rock but not a master at technique.

[@IainFrame]

That guitar solo though!! 🎸😍😍😍

[@mocarpenter8836]

Just finding this in 2024 !! Who still thinks Alter Bridge is the Best Band !!!

[@ThomasLiberoRock]

The moment you find out that With Arms Wide Open is Purple Rain 😂

[@JM-gj3fi]

Haha. Same here... 😁

[@moresnare]

That riff Mark wrote for Creed's song, Bullets, was heavy af... What an awesome tune.

[@raemarie4412]

Bullets is such an underrated song. It's honestly amazing and one of my favorite all time songs.

[@marchanselthomas]

[@joshuazorkastevens2627]

The guitar “solo”at the end of blackbird is something truly amazing that gets me . Great song!!!!! These guys rock man
