That note was ridic and I SO loved Mark turning to Myles and smiling like "You nailed it, dude!".

[@mdog2560]

Blackbird is their big one that everyone requests, so be ready.

[@deanabennett8461]

Yes it is.

[@krebros5845]

But do the studio version, definitely not the live wembley one

[@deanabennett8461]

There is one version where he is sick, still good but others are better.

[@deanabennett8461]

@@krebros5845 ha thats what I just commented.

[@realcrunchy6572]

Please let it be the Amsterdam version

[@God-ck5yo]

Nice reaction, thanks. I still get goosebumps when this song starts - 'coz I know what's coming. I was there that night and, believe me, it was even more stunning live. I've seen Alter bridge a few times but was one of the best. A band at the height of their powers backed by a full 52 piece orchestra (it was TheParallax Orchestra) in an acoustically superb venue (The Royal Albert Hall, London) was utterly amazing.

[@chadmcdaniel9023]

This was a special performance at the Royal Albert Hall with the Paralax symphony orchestra. They don't usually have the orchestra with them, but don't let that stop you from checking out more of their songs. It's worth the watch.

[@Beanie3500]

Myles has just realised his new album too (Ides of March) & Tremonti still has his band too! AB is soo underrated

[@natemartinez2745]

Seeing Myles this month and Tremonti in November both in Pittsburgh. So excited!

[@deanabennett8461]

I saw Alter Bridge live in 2019 in a small venue. They were fantastic. Love this band as well as both Myles and Mark's solo projects

[@BOOMBiggityBam]

What!?!?!?!? This is AWESOME. I search for a Myles reaction as much as I do Nightwish, Jinjer and Dream Theater!!!!

[@jackmarshall757]

Blackbird is a must, especially live at amsterdam. Im gonna recommend listening to both Myles & Mark's solo stuff. Tremonti - Dust & Myles Kennedy - Love Rain Down.

[@robertomanfredi342]

The band he was in with Slash is called Myles Kennedy and The Conspirators

[@martymcpeak4748]

Myles is amazing and so humble, it gives me chills every time I hear him go to that top note. His voice climbs like a homesick Angel.

[@MrMichael51264]

Ok, great reaction and a great song to start your Alterbridge journey. My advise would be to do Blackbird live at Amsterdam next. You'll get plenty of other AB advise here but Myles was in a band called The Mayfield Four during the Creed years, in fact opening for them once. He hits some insane highs on those 2 awsome albums. Summer Girl is one of the examples, but White Flag and Walk Away are great songs as well.

[@Petershelson]

If you guys are going to be reacting to 'Blackbird' by them, which you should, do the live version from Amsterdam. NOT the Wembley one, please! kzbin.info/www/bejne/gIbLaYGFibxkjdU

[@krebros5845]

Please do more of them, I'd stay away from live from Wembley ones, myles was sick. I recommend watch over you live Amsterdam, Blackbird studio version

[@dblazqud]

This entire concert, playing with the Parallax Orchestra side to side, is something really special.

[@aaronshelley1834]

Was at this gig 😁. It wasn't the last song of the night. It was, however, the last song on the album it got released on, and not released as a single. That note at the end is the reason why he'd never sang it live. Myles was in a band called The Mayfield Four during the Creed years.

[@michelelaraia7358]

Fell already in love

[@ravenlunatic1168]

Alter Bridge is definitely the full potential realized of Creed. Check out Waters Rising, Blackbird, Cry of Achilles, Fortress to see just how good this band is. Creed only became hated because of how much radio play they got. Some of there non-radio songs were their best and they had a 4th album that released after AB was formed that sound a log more like Alter Bridge and has some awesome songs on it as well. Check out Overcome from that 4th Creed album.

[@campbellmalcolm4875]

Lovin your face man when Myles begins to soar!

[@Lee-vp8vs]

If you don't smile on that high note you are dead inside.

[@kathleenandbruce]

My favorite spot is after Myles hits that note the camera goes to Mark and he looks over at Myles and smiles with a look of approval for what he just did.

[@j_reneeandrews2095]

Myles has never been in Guns N’ Roses. What you’re thinking of is his band with Slash called Slash And The Conspirators. They mainly only do their own material, but during their shows, they play both their originals and old GN’R material.

[@robertomanfredi342]

It's actually Slash feat. Myles Kennedy and The Conspirators

[@apoorvbajpai4763]

The Whole playlist from this concert is epic! You could do a marathon...

[@stephangoff2932]

"Myles a young lad in the audience" like the cameo in the movie Rock Star. 90's he was in a band Mayfield Four. Decent music but never main stream.

[@scottmoler7928]

Fun to watch your first reactions to this masterpiece. It really never goes away. This track still blows my mind. AB III is a most incredible album. (as you probably know by this time) If you havent done so, all the Tremonti albums are outstanding. I know Im late to comment but hear me now...

[@SPak-rt2gb]

Check the songs: Summer Girl, White flag, Come Back To Me, when he sang with the Mayfield Four and if you like Alter Bridge start with there first album and go from there.

[@PattiL1221]

I saw Slash's band a while back, and Myles Kennedy was the lead singer. He has no issue with GnR songs. Myles is one of the best (if not the best) rock vocalist out there IMHO.

[@scottryan1989]

He’s got his own band 😊

[@howiekaplan6249]

Myles just released a new album called "Ides of March". check it out

[@anneliespeters5355]

WoW, I like what i’m hearing👍gonna check out more! Thx Tom👋👋👋from the Netherlands. For Sarah as well!

[@CanadianOrth]

Woah, woah, woah!!! Nightwish and now Alter Bridge? All that's left of my top 4 is Unleash the Archers and Lacuna Coil!!!

[@lornebelongia4780]

Welcome to the Alter Bridge rabbit hole, been here 17 years loving every moment

[@nec-mamawpadgett8778]

To say that I'm an Alter Bridge Fan, is so miniscule to ...say the least!! Alter Bridge is the Peace in My Soul!! Mark's and Myle's lyricism almost completely parallels my life story, no shit!! I absolutely LOVE every second of what they BLESS us with!! To pick their GREATEST HITS, is a task that I'm not really capable of doing, but....I'll leave a few for you here, that have, of course, not only musical perfection, in my opinion, but the lyrics....LISTEN TO THE LYRICS.....for me....they speak and reach places down deep inside of me, that VERY VERY FEW in this world can touch. I was originally a die hard Creed fan....but when Myles came into the mix, it took the band to NEW, EPIC AND UNTOUCHABLE, levels, that other bands, in my opinion, ONLY WISH THEY COULD REACH. Their transitions, sometimes, several within one song, are flawless, and after hearing the song for the first time, YOU LITERALLY COULD NEVER IMAGINE THE SONG BEING PLAYED OR SANG.....ANY OTHER WAY!! AND....Mark, with Alter Bridge, took a huge step forward in showing his absolute PHENOMENAL TALENT AND SKILL....HE IS A LEGEND!! Alter Bridge is grossly UNDERRATED, AND I LOVE....LOVE....WATCHING FIRST TIME REACTIONS TO THEM!! I HAVEN'T SEEN ONE YET, THAT DIDN'T ABSOLUTELY CAPTIVATE THE PERSON LISTENING, MAKING MANY SPEECHLESS, AND COMPLETE LIFELONG FANS, INSTANTLY!! TO ME....THEY'RE THE BEST, THEIR LYRICS ARE ABOUT THE.....REAL...OF LIFE AND THEIR MUSICAL TALENT IS UNTOUCHABLE....AND MANY TIMES, MAGICAL!!! SO....HERE'S A FEW THAT WILL BLOW YOU AWAY.....OF COURSE..."BLACKBIRD", "BROKEN WINGS, "WATER'S RISING"(MARK SINGS LEAD, BASICALLY IN THIS ONE), "METALINGUS"(VERY POPULAR), "WATCH OVER YOU"(MELODIC), "IN LOVING MEMORY"(WIFE MUST HEAR, THIS IS DEDICATED TO MARK'S MAMA, WHO DIED OF CANCER....HAVE TISSUE ON HAND), "SHED MY SKIN", "OPEN YOUR EYES", "CROWS ON A WIRE".....AND THESE ARE FROM THEIR NEW ALBUM...."FOREVER FALLING", "DYING LIGHT", "GODSPEED", AND THE TITLE OF THE ALBUM, "WALKING THE SKY"......AND LAST BUT NOT LEAST....."TIES THAT BIND".....AND MY ALL TIME, STADIUM SHAKING, DEEP ROOTED, EPIC ROCK JAMMIN', "FIND THE REAL"....THAT HAS LYRICS THAT MEAN SO SO MUCH TO ME!! AND IF THOSE DON'T GIVE YOU AN ABSOLUTE GREAT INSIGHT INTO JUST WHAT....MY BAND....IS AND WHAT THEY'RE ALL ABOUT....AND YOU AREN'T COMPLETELY MOVED....THEN YOU'RE DEAD ON THE INSIDE, IS ALL I CAN SAY!!! THEY'RE EPIC, UNTOUCHABLE, AWESOME AND THE GREATEST................ALTER BRIDGE YA'LL.....IF YOU'RE GONNA ROCK....ROCK THAT SHIT LOUD AND REAL!!!

[@aileenlyons2668]

It was not their last song that night but they are ridiculously talented. Myles was in a band called Mayfield 4 and toured with Creed - that's how they found him. Check them out. Also, Myles was in he movie Rockstar. He is the kid Mark Walhberg's Chatacter pulls up on stage. So, Myles sings with Slash in a band Slash with Myles Kennedy and The Conspirators. Myles has 2 solo albums of his own. Mark still has his project Tremonti. Go listen to his new ones Marching in Time or If Not For You. For Myles solo I recommend Live Rains Down of his new album or Live can only heal off his first album or Starlight for Slash Myles Kennedy and the Conspirators happy listening.

[@Guitargod021]

This is one of the very few songs out there that I wish I could just be mind wiped so I can hear it for the first time over and over. And btw Myles Kennedy was the singer of Mayfield four before alter bridge.

[@FL_Cordis]

Dude, every time i see the high pitch part is flawless xD

[@dainryder8234]

My name is Dain and when you said rest in peace Dain I had a weird moment of reflection, thinking of people actually referring to me while saying that. Super weird but RIP Dain/Dane. This has been my favorite band for years and love to see people react to them.

[@stuogs]

This song is a conversation between mark and myles about faith between mark who believes and myles who doesn't.

[@galaxyreaper2714]

Myles kennedy in my opinion is the best rock vocalist out there. He has a four octave vocal range and is soooooo under rated and appreciated in America at least

[@floridawhite]

Hey guys - GREAT reaction......you won't regret reacting to any of these AB songs (Absolute favourites in upper case :-): Find the Real, METALINGUS (live at Wembley), Open Your Eyes, Broken Wings (Official VIDEO Version), IN LOVING MEMORY (Live in Amsterdam), Shed My Skin, Down To My Last, The End is Here, BLACKBIRD (Live at Wembley, Miles explains who the song is about + a Beatles tribute at the beginning), WATCH OVER YOU, Slip To The Void, Isolation, WONDERFUL LIFE, Life Must Go On, Words Darker Than Their Wings (Royal Alert Hall), CRY OF ACHILLES (Lyrics Version), ADDICTED TO PAIN, BLEED IT DRY, All Ends Well, FORTRESS (Lyrics Version), My Champion, The Other Side, Crows on a Wire, Native Son.

[@Mike_Judas_Priest_Kalsek]

The Bob Ross shirt kicks ass! Gotta go paint some happy clouds and happy trees now haha! Cheers!

[@edoardoalves]

A warning: Alter Bridge don't have bad songs, sorry 😂 Please check Blackbird (Amsterdam version), Cry Of Achilles (Lyrics version) and Dying Light from their new album... Thank you for the reaction!!!

[@jamesnewcomb9834]

and yes, mark still has his solo project called Tremonti

[@anarchomoto1152]

Big Nightwish fan here since 2002, and I've been watching all your Nightwish reactions you've done. Love it! I see you've also done a couple of songs from Epica, another good band. If you like the growls from Epica, you should check out Draconian. Anders is the master of growl. And in stark contrast, Heike has a breathy and ethereal sound to her voice. It's not really like what you've been listening to so far though. Draconian is a gothic/doom metal band, so the music is slower but very heavy sounding. And if you like that, you should consider checking out Broken Mirror by Trees Of Eternity. No growl vocals, but Aleah Stanbridge's voice is similar to Heike's. Sad that Aleah is gone, but the music she helped make lives on. :( Draconian - Sleepwalkers kzbin.info/www/bejne/gWSVq4uObc2DbcU Trees Of Eternity - Broken Mirror kzbin.info/www/bejne/aKPbiJd7bdutatE

[@jamesnewcomb9834]

please do fortress. i never see enough requests for this, but thats easily one of their best songs

[@johnnyadamany]

Blackbird live in Amsterdam, Calm the fire, Cry of Achilles, the Last Hero

[@michelelaraia7358]

14:10 on:epic!

[@andrewwillis4911]

Vocals and instrumentals are wonderful, but what no one seems to comment on is the actual song and it's lyrics. The origin of the song writing and it's message is far more powerful than the music "alone"...

[@bazkeen]

Great one. Now you need to do Blackbird live from Amsterdam Metalingus live from Wembley is another good one

[@LGuiilhermee]

4:15 Kevin Bacon

[@jatinv14]

Blackbird Amsterdam live!! NOT WEMBLEY!!

[@shera1789]

ALTER BRIDGE IS EVERYTHING! Amazing song & performance! Awesome reaction! Please react to Alter Bridge: "Addicted To Pain" "Cry Of Achilles" "Find The Real"-Live in Amsterdam 2008 "Calm The Fire" "Blackbird"-Live in Amsterdam 2008 "Isolation" "All Hope Is Gone" "Buried Alive"-Live in Amsterdam 2008 "Slip To The Void" "Bleed It Dry" "Island Of Fools" "Dying Light" I can go on & on & on! They are just freakin incredible! Look forward to more AB reactions! Til the next 1☮ AB=subscribed! 💥💯🖤🆎️🎼🤘

[@carolkerby5306]

Please react to more Alter Bridge live ❤️

[@papaverweg]

Special request to react to the band/project: Ayreon - “Magnetism” live kzbin.info/www/bejne/aoeWnXqKdp2AptE and/or also to concept song: “The Day That The World Breaks Down” (the source) kzbin.info/www/bejne/pXfYfn6ap9-Dp7c At both you will discover some treats, but we can talk about that later. LoL.

[@BradHestdalen]

Never compare anyone to Chris!

[@shuriken4852]

Like other comments, I second the live performance of Blackbird from Amsterdam.

[@HMLM88]

Gojira - The gift of guilt (Live at Brixton Academy) 😉🤘🏻

[@thebest3921]

Blackbird studio version pleaaase!

[@robertomanfredi342]

Who does he look like? You are thinking about Kevin Bacon

[@Mike_Judas_Priest_Kalsek]

Please react to CLUTCH (the best band you've never heard of ©). I suggest for your first go, either Electric Worry (their most well-known song), Burning Beard, 10001110101 or A Quick Death In Texas. FYI...this same comment will appear ONLY if I have watched your reaction video. I am not here to spam your channel...I just want to help get a great band some much deserved recognition. P.S....I will always give your reactions a thumbs-up, even if I don't care for or like the band or song you react to...because I like you and your channel. Cheers!

[@glenshaw3916]

Blackbird and Fortress next plz

[@aybarskokmen8884]

Blackbird live from Amsterdam, cry of Achilles, in loving memory live from Amsterdam, my champion, fortress, waters rising, open your eyes... some of their hits that I recommend but they don’t have no bad song actually. Some mediocre ones but never a bad

[@brianpfeifer6536]

Please Listen too Gordon Lightfoot!!.."SUNDOWN" or ..."Edmund Fitzgerald" !!

[@jidypowell8783]

Try Tremonti does Sinatra

[@joshaemcmalz5894]

Recommend you listen to Blackbird live at Wembley, ignore the Amsterdam commenters, it's not an acapella, and instrumentally Wembley is far better than Amsterdam

[@MrMagic1515]

You just compared Tremonti, who I love, to Chris Cornell???????omg

[@MalevolentProphecies]

“He’s talking too much, start the song…” dude we are 6:30 into your video at this point. Someone’s talking too much.

[@scotch7731]

idk why youre mad that he's pausing the video thats what a real reaction channel does, pauses and gives opinions not just blankly watch the video and add nothing. im all for more pausing and more opinions in these reactions.

[@jasongalloway9582]

I was a Creed fan. But Myles is what Scott wishes he could grow up to be. Not only as a vocalist, but as a songwriter, and as a musician in general. The whole band is better with Myles. The music less pop, and more substance.

[@aryansigrid]

Myles is not a fill-in Singer!

[@sethseiden9604]

You must make a lot of $ because your wife owns you,sorry pal.

[@monicacarolina6480]

I saw a lot of reactions as a huge AB fan, and I am sorry....but this was the worst reaction ever. Creed Creed Creed Creed Creed. This is NOT CREED! Thank you. 1. please don't talk when a singer is explaining the song...I don't care about who he looks like. 2. the lady makes really dumb, not AB related remarks during the clip 3. Myles is NOT talking to much guys, YOU are! 4. pLease stop talking about Creed. AB is AB...not Creed 5.Pausing 2 times at the same moment...serious? 6. Stop comparing musicians all the time, Kennedy and Tremonti are authentic 7. Myles did MUCH more than singing Guns and Roses songs with Slash. They made their own songs and they play lots of guitar together. 8. Too much talk in pauses. 9. Myles ALWAYS sings the high pitches all the time.

[@Skyrilla]

30 Seconds To Mars is overrated garbage. Myles looks more like Kevin Bacon than Jared Leto to be honest.

[@bjornbear6856]

You don't know Alter bridge? And you're American!!! Shame on you!!! OMG you've missed a great band!
