Listen to Alter Bridge - Words Darker than their Wings live at the Royal Albert Hall. They have an orchestra with them and Myles' voice will blow your mind
Myles Kennedy...just an absolute master ...a classically trained Rock singer...He is trained in Bel canto ( An Italian opera technique ig)...He is 54 years old and he sounds better than ever
Thanks for this reaction. Alter Bridge are a phenomenal band. Such powerful music and such accessible and relevant lyrics. Would love to here you react to some more of this band (Theyve been around now for 20 years)
You won't be disappointed. As suggested, check out Words Darker Than Their Wings live from Royal Albert Hall, or any version of Blackbird or Broken Wings. 😊
AlterBridge is simply a stellar melodic hard rock / alternative metal band! Myles Kennedy has a legit 4 octave vocal range with beautiful timbre and tone in his lows and incredible breath control and sustain in his highs! He plays a great classic rock style guitar too - in the mold of David Gilmour…While lead guitarist Mark Tremonti is a shredder , but also has a beautiful finger picking style he often uses too. He has a nice baritone voice to complement Myles’ tenor in harmonies!There are too many great songs by this band to mention - but ‘Blackbird’ studio version or Live is a must (studio shows off a 30 plus seconds vocal line near the end without taking a breath), ‘watch over you’ live acoustic at Billboard, and as mentioned ‘words darker than their wings’ live at the royal albert hall (actually anything from that concert is great - watch the whole thing if you get a chance!), are a nice little cross section of what they can do and show off some of Myles’ singing. There’s Dozens of other equally great songs and performances by them if you go down the rabbit hole! Best band of last 20 years, easily!
Ooo I’d love to see you go down the Alter Bridge rabbit hole. If you liked Myles’ voice in this song you’ll be blown away from him in some others, this is quite tame for him vocally. I’d recommend to listen to Words Darker Than Their Wings live at the Royal Albert Hall. You won’t regret it!
This is the title track from their latest album, #7. You have stumbled upon the greatest secret in rock and now you should go down that rabbit hole that is Alter Bridge. I saw them last April 1st for the 1st time and am I glad I did, because they are awesome live. They did this song and I've got it recorded on my phone for posterity. Myles Kennedy also sings for Slash and The Conspirators as well as his solo stuff. Mark Tremonti the other guitarist has his solo band called Tremonti, go figure. He also last year did an album for charity called Tremonti Sings Sinatra and he absolutely kills it. He then released a Christmas album of standards plus one that he wrote and released a claymation video for Christmas of that song, Christmas Morning. You will find that it's hard to find a bad song from Alter Bridge. They started out as Creed then kicked out Scott Stapp an reformed as Alter Bridge with Myles as lead singer and 2nd guitar. They finished their Pawns and Kings tour and now Myles is with Slash and Creed is gonna do a tour. Then Mark will be doing his 6th album. And after all that we expect another Alter Bridge album. Hopefully late next year.
They have so many amazing songs, but if you really want to hear Myles Kennedy's voice shine, listen to their track titled "This Side of Fate". Just a GORGEOUS song.
As a hardcore AB fan I'm happy to see people react to this awesome band (which is so underrated and under-recognised). It's so interesting to see actual musicians/pros react to them because they apreciate the skills of Myles and the others guys even more and can add so much interestng information about why AB is a band of brilliant musicians. Thank you!
Can't wait till you dive into their discography! I see people recommending Words Darker Than Their Wings Live at the Royal Albert Hall (excellent choice, and the best choice), but also check out Blackbird live from Amsterdam if you want another showcase of Myles's voice, or Watch Over You. They don't have a bad song, so you'll enjoy whatever you choose, I'm sure. Great reaction!
Many suggestions here for Words Darker Than Their Wings live from Royal Albert Hall. That is a MUST! But they have SOOOOO many great songs, you just can't go wrong. Any version of Blackbird, Broken Wings, Brand New Start, Before Tomorrow Comes. Really anything by them won't disappoint. From this album (Pawns and Kings), Fable Of The Silent Sun is awesome!
@drakonisasmrtist9471 Funny. I just sent that song to a friend, and he too commented on the time signature. I don't think Alter Bridge plays much in a 4/4.
You need to listen to the Billboard acoustic version of "Watch Over You." It's just Myles and he is amazing. Their song "Calm the Fire" from their album Fortress will really show Myles Kennedy's range. Just amazing. His solo albums are great, too.
Alter Bridge is simply the best rock band of the 21st century. Stellar musicianship, songwriting, and thoughtful lyrics. I love this band. “Words Darker than their Wings,” “Blackbird,” they have so many epic musical masterpiece journeys in over their 20 year career.
Everyone's rightly recommending Words Darker Than Their Wings at the Royal Albert Hall, which is phenomenal technique. Other amazing high spots from Myles would be Blackbird Live in Amsterdam (slightly younger there, really belting), and Starlight by Slash feat. Myles Kennedy and the Conspirators, which is sung in his high register most of the way through. Enjoy going down the rabbit hole!
@psyberwyche It's not a great first impression for how talented he is, I irritates me to death that wembley is the more popular preformance. Considering he was sick, he still killed it.🤟
Alter Bridge has been my favorite band since 2004. In fact, they are one of the best live bands I've ever seen. You should check out "words darker than their wings" live from the Royal Albert hall. They are backed up by The parallax orchestra and it's utterly amazing. Actually, the whole concert was a masterpiece.
I would highly recommend some of the better vocally strong songs of Mr. Myles Kennedy and Alter Bridge. 1. Fortress Live at Royal Albert Hall 2. Cradle to the Grave. 3. Words Darker than Their Wings live at RAH 4. Love Can Only Heal from Myles solo record Year of the Tiger 5. Slash W/ Myles Kennedy and the Conspirators - Whatever Gets You By.
Great reaction video! I’ve been an Alter Bridge fan forever and love seeing reactions to them, especially from artists like yourself. It’s been a while since I’ve listened to the title track from Pawns and Kings - but man Alter Bridge is just so good, they are in a league of their own. I like how you mentioned the lyrics as being likable or memorable as I feel like that’s one of the things that sets them apart is that they have excellent musicianship and really catchy, uplifting lyrics! I see that many people have recommended you review “Words Darker than their wings” - which would be great, but it would be killer for you to react to AB’s Fable of the Silent Son also!!! Anyway thanks for the great content!
I've seen them live at the Cherokee Casino in NC. They were awesome!!! I have been a long time fan. My personal favorite is, "Blackbird"!!!! You should give it a listen!!! Love your analysis of this song by the way!!!!!
Lots of recommendations for Words Darker Than Their Wings live @RAH and rightfully so but for some other songs Breath Again for some more high notes and Waters Rising for a nice back and forth with Mark and Myles and lastly Cry of Achilles. There are so many more so don’t stop there. Great input on your part as well!
Have you heard the song "Summer Girl" by his previous band The Mayfield Four? The ending of that is absolutely nuts vocally. I love Myles, and that's the most-impressive vocal display from him (as far as vocal range goes) that I've heard.

Myles Kennedy is simply incredible. Watch Words Darker Than Their Wings live at the Albert Hall and be prepared to blown away
He makes that F# sound EASY
Words Darker Than Their Wings for sure, especially if you liked those high notes.
Listen to Alter Bridge - Words Darker than their Wings live at the Royal Albert Hall. They have an orchestra with them and Myles' voice will blow your mind
Myles Kennedy...just an absolute master ...a classically trained Rock singer...He is trained in Bel canto ( An Italian opera technique ig)...He is 54 years old and he sounds better than ever
So glad to see this. The singer is Myles Kennedy, and he can do some wild stuff.
Thanks for this reaction. Alter Bridge are a phenomenal band. Such powerful music and such accessible and relevant lyrics. Would love to here you react to some more of this band (Theyve been around now for 20 years)
That arrangement is insanely captivating & the energy spellbinding. I'm going to have to check this band out.
They don't have a bad song. At all. Hope you enjoy!
You won't be disappointed. As suggested, check out Words Darker Than Their Wings live from Royal Albert Hall, or any version of Blackbird or Broken Wings. 😊
You’re in for a treat! Their Fortress album is a masterclass in songwriting, in my opinion.
I wish I was you listening to Alterbridge for the first time. Prepare for the rabbit hole.

@@themcsyoutubechannel You won't be sorry. Welcome to the Alter Bridge rabbit hole. You just can't go wrong.
“Fable of the Silent Son” is perfection. The odd time breakdown in the bridge is so good.

Wow! Love the intro - subtle to drastic fantastic!
Myles is probably the best singer in the world right now, I may be biased however 😂
Definitely one of the best rock singers these days!
top 10 best guitar solo ever... completely changed the key and was technically absurd!!

Thank you for not saying Wembley
@@johnnyadamany Some people love it, but once you hear the stuffy nose from his recovery after illness, you can't unhear it 😅
@psyberwyche It's not a great first impression for how talented he is, I irritates me to death that wembley is the more popular preformance. Considering he was sick, he still killed it.🤟
Loved your reaction. Please play more AB.

You need to listen to "against the grain" (acoustic version), but you don't know it yet.
I cant wait!

There's a track he goes up to an F# on (Words Darker than their wings) - LIVE -- absolutely insane!

Check out their video Blackbird live wembley
Not Wembley, the Amsterdam version is better. Unfortunately he was unwell during Wembley
and the royal albert hall version is better than both
Amsterdam has a better version of Blackbird. Myles was sick for the Wembley performance.
Listen to The Mayfield Four song Summergirl if you want to hear Myles voice at its best, even better than Words Darker Than Their Wings.
