Alter Bridge - Black Bird Live from Wembley - First Listen/Reaction

[@thyop89]

Alter Bridge are fantastic. They describe themselves as hard rock with metal influence. They can get very heavy at times but melody is always at the forefront of the music they make and I love the blend of those elements. Myles Kennedy is in my opinion the best rock vocalist on the planet today and an exceptional guitarist and songwriter, one of the most underrated musicians out there. Mark Tremonti is of course a fantastic guitarist but he can also sing really well and he also writes. They are really an unbeatable combo. Both have solo projects which are very different to AB but excellent in their own right. Myles also sings with Slash as part of Slash, Myles Kennedy and the Conspirators (SMKC) so they're one if the hardest working pair in rock music and don't get the recognition they deserve for it.

Best song ever in history

[@thebest3921]

Alter Bridge are just incredible, so many great songs

[@paulrodsted3905]

My favourite band.... 🤘🤘

[@davidhook469]

3 of the members of this band were formally in the band Creed. Myles Kennedy also sings in Slash and the Conspirators.

[@MusicWithToddLedbetter]

Oh that's right, I did just hear something about that recently. Thanks for reminding me David. Have a good one! Todd

[@natergater10]

Ah this one was one of my old high school songs. Another awesome pick!

[@josephdean3722]

Myles had the flu for this show. Still nailed it!

[@reb569]

I consider them hard rock with a "touch of metal" myself. I agree with others that Cry of Achilles would be a great follow up to this review. I also recommend "Words Darker than their Wings" from Royal Albert Hall where Myles and Mark trade off on vocals. It's a song they don't do live very often due to a very high note at the end, that Myles really nails in this performance. I don't know of an Alter Bridge song that I don't like honestly. They are an American band, but are more popular in the UK and Europe than in the states. I don't understand why, they're awesome. I've NEVER heard an alter bridge song on the radio. I found them through you tube.

Hell yeah! 😃❤️. Thank you so much for doing my request 🙏. Myles Kennedy (lead vocalist, co-lead guitarist) was sick during this show so his voice is not that good here, but still he nailed it. Yes you're right, Alter Bridge is an American band. All members of Alter Bridge are from the band Creed except for the vocalist Myles Kennedy. But they are so different and better than Creed. And Alter Bridge call themselves a hard rock band. Myles Kennedy is also the singer of the Slash's band called Slash feat. Myles Kennedy and the Conspirators. There's a lot more amazing Alter Bridge songs that you have to check. I'd suggest Cry of Achilles next. You can find a lyric video from KZbin and react to that. See you soon! 😊❤️✌️

Yes, I would agree to the Cry of Achilles for the next song...the lyrics version but not the Official video...it's too distracting from the song imho.

[@RG049]

@@floridawhite Exactly. Music video is too distracting. BTW are you from US? :)

[@floridawhite]

@@RG049 Hi, no, but I lived in FL between 2003-2008 and that is when I took on this handle. I live in England currently.

[@mk2pr]

Myles Kennedy is one of the best singers right now!

[@aybarskokmen8884]

Mark tremonti is a more heavy metal aggressive shreddy player and Myles is more a classic rock/blues guy and together they form an amazing sound. Check out cry of Achilles, fortress and many more…

[@thyop89]

True, although sometimes they can totally surprise you and Myles will be the one to come up with a very heavy riff while Mark plays a more emotional solo. They keep you on your toes!

[@kathleenandbruce]

Why no more Alter Bridge? They have 7 studio albums the last of which just came out a few months ago and are currently touring it. It's called Pawns and Kings. 5 of the songs have been released as video singles on KZbin and all are awesome, you should do a reaction to them.

[@MusicWithToddLedbetter]

Thank you Bruce, I will check them out. Keep an eye out for my reaction. Enjoy the channel, Todd

I am not very familiar with this kind of music, but it reminded me of Soundgarden, Black Hole Sun.
