[@Brandon2940]

I feel bad for the people out there who haven't discovered this incredible band yet

[@joshleary4512]

Same here, they are so good!

[@brianshelton5754]

Absolutely agree

[@BadonMarb]

I wish i could erase any memory of this song from my mind and get the chance to experience it again for the first time.

[@reeceparsons8193]

Alter Bridge words darker than their wings at the royal albert hall is amazing!! you should check out

[@Revelationvaliant]

1000% YES TO THIS COMMENT. That performance is killer.

[@josh5132]

Everyone needs to like and comment here! This needs to be done!!!!

[@Dude1971Dad]

This version gives me goosebumps ever Time I hear it

[@LucasNovaes07]

I was just going to suggest that as well

[@patfix]

If you want the video to be blocked than yes! Seriously, amazing song and performance but almost certainly gets blocked. :/

[@jeremyheninger8766]

Dude did you just improvise that piano part? Fucking amazing.

[@zegracamastar215]

One of the most beautiful songs I’ve heard. Alter Bridge is amazing.

[@Cityz3nn]

When you started playing piano at 9:30... Wow, just wow

[@TheHeath68]

YES!! and Myles was sick during this performance just think if he was healthy!! The Amsterdam version has better vocals. But you HAVE to check out Words Darker than their Wings live at the Royal Albert Hall ft the Parallex Orchestra! It'll blow your mind!! Myles vocal range is incredible and you'll get to hear Mark Tremonti sing too ;)

[@azureander5487]

I was enjoying your take on the song just verbally, but THEN you go and totally blow my mind with that piano run, and you did it so effortlessly. I am highly impressed

[@dcinsc]

From the bottom of my heart, I want to thank you for appreciating this band for who they are.

[@dcinsc]

BTW that impromptu piano cover was BADASS!

[@AtomicSleuths]

Its physically impossible, as displayed by David, to not air drum the double stops leading into the chorus when hearing this song. Great reaction, great band, great vibes.

[@MusicShed]

Absolutely impossible

[@patfix]

The name comes from a bridge on Alter Road in Detroit, near the place where Mark Tremonti (guitarist) grew up. He wasn’t allowed to cross that bridge from his parents because on the other side was a ‘bad’ neighborhood.

[@neznarfdvd]

I also like the metaphor that it's not only a bridge separating the 2 sides of the town but it's the bridge that brings them both together.

[@MoonriseBlue]

And when Tremonti and company were disbanding Creed and starting up this new band, the name was a bit of a metaphor for going out and taking a chance, crossing into the unknown, etc.

[@MrMcNuGz]

Words Darker Than Their Wings at Royal Albert Hall is also such a good performance from them.

[@Liimbo]

The picture on Mark Tremonti's guitar is Dimebag Darrell (guitarist for Pantera). He put the picture on his favourite guitar shortly after he passed away.

[@BethanyGrey1]

Alter Bridge is one of the best bands ever. Their songs and Myles' voice are so epic! ❤

[@k1weber]

Now that is a proper reaction video. You have done your homework on the artist/band up front unlike so many other reviewers. You also added great contextual info duirng the video with your pop-ups. I love Alter Bridge and hope you do more of their videos, espeically anything from their live performance at Royal Albert Hall which was done with an orchestra. Tremendous DVD to get.

[@Nanno00]

My sister died last year. I’ll say, from mental illness, rather than spell it out. I felt destroyed as I drove the hour and a half home from the hospital. When I started feeling a little more composed, I turned on the radio and after the last part of an ad, this song came on. I had heard it before but had never paid much attention to the lyrics. As he sang, I really listened. I became hysterical and had to pull off the toll road. I sat there on the side of the highway and put it on repeat on Spotify and bawled my eyes out. I will forever more be very connected to this song. Let the wind carry you home Blackbird, fly away May you never be broken again The fragile cannot endure The wrecked and the jaded, a place so impure The static of this cruel world Cause some birds to fly long before they've seen their day Long before they've seen their day Let the wind carry you home Blackbird, fly away May you never be broken again Beyond the suffering you've known I hope you find your way May you never be broken again Ascend, may you find no resistance Know that you made such a difference And all you leave behind will live to the end The cycle of suffering goes on But the memories of you stay strong Someday I too will fly and find you again

[@jookplays8026]

Comparing Myles to David Gilmour has to be one of the best compliments ever

[@PoolPartyPapi]

This song never fails to hit me right in the feels, crazy how music can just cut to the core of you even when you’re not vulnerable

[@milkybar33]

The picture on Mark's guitar is Dimebag Darrell Abbott.

[@thommyjacobs8921]

And it's so perfectly fitting that his pic is shown, on a gtr, during this exact song & with it's lyrical meaning + being played live...so good. RIP Saint Dime

[@terrinpeterson9899]

For Dime 🖤🤘

[@pigb0i]

my favorite vocal performance from myles is Watch Over You from Billboard Studio. It's definitely one to check out!

[@andreeaLnedelea]

I wouldn't be alive today without music, man. It has helped me keep some really gnarly thoughts at bay.. I wonder what's going to happen when it won't be enough?🤷🏻‍♀️

[@Gunner250]

I just came here from the AB and Mark Tremonti FB pages sharing the video!

[@setecastronomy53]

Yes! Please do Words Darker Than Their Wings! LOVE that one. Love to hear your reaction.

[@heather-katebridgett8344]

You need to watch Myles Kennedy singing ‘love can only heal’ live..... so amazing 🤩

[@thebest3921]

Alter Bridge are amazing! More reactions please

[@WaveTheSniper]

If you really love a great live performance then you'll adore the live at the Royal Albert show with parallax orchestra. Beautiful sound and frankly just worth a watch

[@josephdean3722]

Myles was sick for that show, he still nailed it

[@luismgoncalves]

You just reacted to two of my favourite bands in a small amount of time, Architects now Alter Bridge. Good stuff sir. Some Alter Bridge suggestions: "Watch over you" live (Billboard Studio), Cry of Achiles & Calm the Fire Some Architects suggestions: Memento Mori, Gone With The Wind, Dead Butterflies

[@vapingemskopp6113]

Do „In Loving Memory (Live @ Amsterdam) by Alter Bridge. Mark wrote this song after his mother passed away. Seeing Mark fighting against his tears while playing this song is just pure emotion.

[@kurtshepherd2801]

My favorite version of the song. Brian Marshall’s bass line is so beautiful and clear in it.

[@claudiagiacomo4725]

Alter bridge has a song not a lot a people know thats called BREATH AGAIN... they never played that live but i think it checks all the boxes, powerfull lyrics, fantastic melody, dinamics take on a soulfull trip.. i hightly recommed that one, it one of my favorites songs ever

[@BrettCahill]

this is one of those songs that will always be truly special. This was played at a friends funeral and I've never seen it as anything other than beautiful.

[@glorioskiola]

“Holy Shit! Just Gorgeous!” Exactly my reaction when I first discovered Myles and AB.

[@BigTtheItalian]

The fact that Myles is THIS GOOD, while having the flu, is just proof of his God given talent. Dude is a legend in Rock and most people don't know who he is.

[@crummymarathoners]

The intro made me tear up! That Beatles riff. CHILLZ. And this guy's voice is amazing. I'm not a Creed or Nickelback type... but killer voice

[@MorningVegas]

please you should 100% listen to the studio version of this song. my favorite song ever. also the picture on his guitar is dimebag darrell

[@johnnyadamany]

Live in Amsterdam version is better than this and studio!

[@haven5144]

One of my favorite bands! Tremonti and Myles Kennedy are just on another level!

[@informalistabrasil3491]

I followed you at the moment that you start playing. The best reaction I've ever seen in this genre.

[@BloodMagic_1]

Dude your piano playing is amazing :D making that on the go was awesome. Great song and a beautiful reaction video.

[@TheAsphyx666]

Myles Kennedy is just such a badass singer. That pic on Mark's guitar is Dimebag Darrell of Pantera (RIP).

[@reb569]

From what I understand from interviews, the name Alter Bridge comes from the name of an actual bridge in Detroit where Mark Tremonti grew up.

[@sleepysis]

OMG, your piano playing part was absolutely fanstastic!!!

[@ChechoBenavides]

Amazing song, great analysis and piano chord progressions

[@royaldom1399]

Without any shadow of a doubt my favourite song, it's the perfect song and no matter how many times I listen to it. It is still as emotional and as good as the first time I listened to it, the hair on the back of my neck still stands over a decade later. Perfection. You'll love anything of AB. But I would love to see you listen to 'The end is here' by them. Another of my favourites.

[@SophiaAphrodite]

I saw Myles and the Conspirators not too long ago at some small casino in Nebraska and Slash stole that show he was playing 5 minute guitar solos in EVERY song. One song he played a solos for 12 minutes! One of the best concerts I have seen.

[@santibentivegna]

check out, more of alter bridge, The live shows in Royal albert!

[@Dude1971Dad]

Always do live AB, and the band name comes from the name of a bridge near Mark tremontis childhood home

[@slushpuppydevil]

100 video reactions and what a song to react to for it!

[@DayZer1987]

Why have I only just seen this video? I've been a fan of the band since they were formed. Lucky enough to meet the guys on several occasions and yeah Myles is truly one of the most humble guys I've ever met. Even when I was a kid, I was 17 when I first saw the band and a year later I was at their next show in Scotland and he walked up to me and started talking, he remembered me because I'd given him a gift the previous year. That told me all I needed to know about Myles right there. But away from the band, your piano work during the video...wow. I was eating my dinner whilst watching the video and you made me stop and just say wow! You nailed it. Alter Bridge for me is all about stories, emotion and melodies.

[@carsenwright4256]

Fantastic band for your 100th episode!

[@ElicitOutlaw]

Absolutely love all of your reaction videos. I originally found your page because of your reactions to BMTH, but stayed because your reviews are amazing. Love the piano breakdowns you do in the videos. You're obviously a very talented musician yourself. Thank you for the videos and keep doing what you're doing!

[@markelwis7019]

Been waiting for this one for a while! Words Darker than their wings Live at the Royal Albert Hall is a must for the future!

[@vit-guykissix1458]

YT Channel Music Shed with amazing David Morgan RULES! I became your new fan from the Czech Republic when I was listening more your videos. I am recommending you to react on band Periphery, song Ragnarok or any other from this band, pls next time, I believe as Periphery's fan that it will be good for everybody here :) ;) Btw I adore Myles Kennedy's performances and everything in Alter Bridge, Mark Tremonti is also really awesome guitarist and musician.

[@johnwallace5239]

This song is perfect. And that piano part you chucked in there was outstanding

[@Duckyslides1447]

You sir, are the kind of person I wish was my music teacher. I self taught myself basic guitar/bass/drums and was involved in my high-school rock band program from grade 7-11 (very small town highschool) and you seem like the kind of person that I could have 1, learned a lot from, and 2, not given up after a large number of other people basically ruined performing and even just playing to my self, for me. I recently bought another guitar, and trying to pick it back up again, but after almost 7 years of not playing good lord I'm back at square 1. Love these videos. Very glad I stumbled upon you.

[@KoTerrors]

This is one of my favorite songs. That piano bit in the middle was juicy. Nice playing.

[@lollokopter11]

When you mentioned Gilmour I was so happy because 'Blackbird' always gives me strong Pink Floyd vibes!

[@coreymiller7317]

Mark was my first favorite guitarist, he's so effortless in his riffs and solos, love the guy.

[@helloitscoffeewithcove2747]

Blackbird is my childhood nickname because my first and middle name translate to blackbird, so I just had to watch this!

[@carminesblade1625]

Love this track. Also Myles Kennedy on slash's album singing star light is sooooo damn good. Worth a listen!

[@bcog9519]

Alter Bridge are one of the most sublime bands in existence when it comes to making music that have a deep, meaningful impact with their messages conveyed in their songs. Their song “In Loving Memory” helped me during the loss of my grandfather and still reduces me to tears to this day 8 years on. Excellent reaction as always David! 🙏🏼

[@wendideleoncampbell4174]

Awesome 👏 thank you for the comparison 🦅very beautiful 😻

[@Eleanor8965]

O man. Alter bridge is something special. Miles Kennedy is such a great singer. The band as a whole is great but Miles Kennedy really makes it something special.

[@monarchwinter5087]

Beautiful song! I recommend the rock band Holding Absence, I really like their Heavy Music Awards 2020 live performances.

[@DFinFracFort]

Yesss! Please do World On Fire by Slash with Myles Kennedy! Such an old school throwback

[@nickvaldes9833]

I’m so glad you reacted to this song. Easily their best song and Myles Kennedy has one of the most gifted voices in rock. They have a song called “watch over you” that is tremendous.

[@josh5132]

Words darker than their wings - live at the royal Albert hall!!! Need need need, it will blow your mind!

[@WonDerBr34D]

Congrats on #100 David!

[@MusicShed]

Ty sir!

[@guitarded222]

The way Myles looked when he took that big breath and started playing is the same face every metal head had when you asked who's picture that was on Mark's guitar! hahaha

[@racefreakmel]

Right?! 🤦🏼‍♀️😂

[@johndorton2599]

Just wow.

[@robertolunasaracho4511]

Alter Bridge at Royal Albert Hall!!!

[@rileyxxxx]

myles kennedy is a legend. saw him live with slash back in 2010. cant imagine he's already 51, lookin like hes 35 ish.

[@liamevans9815]

What you may not know about Myles Kennedy is, before he joined Alter Bridge he was a guitar teacher while he was in another band called Mayfield Four.

[@vicjames2011]

Jesus...... your piano interpretation totally got me. Bravo sir

[@Gilescowdemdem]

Honestly, I'm here as much for the reaction as I am these moments of you riffing off the song on your piano.

[@Benfer95]

I’m so happy you did this song!

[@moustafazayyat]

are you just snooping around in my playlist picking my most favorite songs???? THIS IS UNBELIEVABLE I LOVE THIS CHANNEL

[@dilanfdd]

IKR!

[@wendideleoncampbell4174]

One of my all time favorites 🎸🎸👏🙏👍😭🦅🦅🦅🦅🦅🦅🦅🦅

[@Voffsing1]

Loved this reaction! AB is truly an amazing band.

[@PlanaarisA7X]

I also would highly recommend Words Darker than their Wings (from RAB), its an incredible performance. I don't mean to be negative, but this is actually considered to be one of his weaker performances - this was at the end of a tour and in some places you can definitely hear it in his voice - though he still delivers amazing passion into the song. Another great reaction though!

[@tamigolic6805]

he was sick

[@racefreakmel]

He had the flu

[@thephoenixisrising6540]

Agreed, this is definitely not a great example of how amazing his voice truly is.

[@ashmototherapy]

First song I ever learned on guitar at 11 years old. My dad taught me how to play it. Great memory with this song ♡

[@porte1jr]

Subscribed as soon as this dude starting playing the piano. Music Shed, thank you for that awesome review. Thank you for that awesome analysis. Just thank you.

[@bevohw]

I am late One of the best reactions I have seen on this song Greetings from a "old ' Dutch man

[@sch7194]

Power band !!!

[@mocarpenter8836]

Alter Bridge and Paul Reed Smith fiddles To The FRONT!!

[@robertrobinson4578]

Man, your piano playing with the song was beautiful. I’d love to hear more of their songs with piano accompaniment from you.

[@NAguitarist]

For what its worth, this is the only song that means so much to me that I have it tattooed.

[@johnwoodberry3707]

That was amazing reaction ty, absolutely loved your interpretion on the keyboard really enjoyed what you did there, and of course such a magnificent song, one of my all time favourites! Please react to "Cry if Achilles" if possible, the structure of that song is perfection imho

[@dunesbra]

Man, when you started riffing on the chords/melodies on the keys...just beautiful. Your should do the whole song or just mess around with a big portion of it like that. I swear I would listen to it for a year straight. Alter Bridge fans would get you to a million views overnight for sure. Please do it and post it. 👊

[@SgtNicholasAngle]

Also their song Metalingus!

[@xRamZx]

A modern masterpiece this is. Patiently waiting for Sleep Token - Jaws

[@wmshukri85]

Sleep Token! YESSSSS!

[@p.svistulkin]

9:14 wow...just wow. First time hearing and make a concert level piano cover. You are a really professional.

[@superllama51]

Please react to Bilmuri. Not enough attention on this band but they deserve it. Insane talent

[@Tensen01]

Highly recommend checking out Watsky. they are all good but particularly Welcome To The Family.

[@recka5000]

This is easily my favourite AB song! This rendition is just phenomenal too. I think bands you might like include Polaris, Northlane, Or Thornhill. 3 metalcore bands from aus, all having a unique sound from each other

[@joshleary4512]

Mark Tremonti (dude with the non-rock&roll hair) is one of the greatest guitarist of all time in my opinion. He also has a metal band named Tremonti

[@funhouse9566]

Those first few notes reminded me of the start of Metallica "fight fire with fire".

[@kylelove5873]

Miles can belt it out! Good find David.

[@jonathanbernier7939]

That piano cover was awesome

[@KONTAGION705]

*waves at David and Howie* You already know lol Also love this band

[@paulashafer6751]

Fortress is a masterpiece 🔥

[@windergard]

Wow. I appreciate the reaction but man, when you busted out the chord progression on the keyboard, that was actually pretty damn good.
