The guitar solo never gets old! Its rated as one of the best of all time for a reason…. Not because its the most technical or shreddy (although it has some of those elements); but rather, because it supports the ethos of the song in its entirety! It speaks emotions that there simply are no words for! Myles has the first part, which is all longing and despair and is similar to a David Gilmour style, while Mark has the second part which is anger and crying out - almost lashing out at the senselessness of loss. Beautiful piece of music.
He’s still at his ‘peak’ bud! He’s got more vocal control now if anything, than he did then? Similar range. I like both Myles’ eras! Great great vocalist!
@@RB-oc7ti no he's not, mate. He just changes his vocal techniques where he sings with ease nowadays and preserves his voice. His peak is way past his heydays in Fortress era
Alter bridge are so epic I see them whenever they come to the UK live they are different class , Myles is a great guitarist in his own right and mark not only is lead guitar he has an amazing voice too just listen to words darker than their wings live from the royal Albert hall to discover that 🙂 . No need to apologise for the boss wanting in 😺 glad you loved the song it's iconic to us alter bridge fans . Seeing iron maiden on Saturday I can't wait 🤘
"The willow, it weeps today A breeze from the distance is calling your name Unfurl your black wings and wait Across the horizon, it's coming to sweep you away It's coming to sweep you away 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 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" losing friends, family is the worst, especially if too early...
For the love of Mary will someone react to other Alter Bridge songs and stop doing blackbird it’s getting super boring and they’ve better stuff it’s like UA-cam’s becoming a boring one trick pony like the viewers who just want one songs Let’s hope somebody buys the viewers Alter bridge’s entire back catalogue to educate them into there’s more than one song MEH! On a positive note Truly Great song (great before it got boring) Truly Truly Great video Truly Truly Truly Great channel Truly Truly Truly Great crazy presenters who are the cats minions Great viewer (I guess) for suggesting this song Now PLEASE NEVER SUGGEST THIS SONG AGAIN! Though I won’t mind if you do and I apologize about Alter Bridge Gate I now have to go and let my cat in MeH!!!!!
@@thebest3921 Not everyone wants to see us play one song. we’re not all sheep,. people are programmed to just wanna hear a certain bsong cos everyone else tells them it’s great and they go with the flow. it’s part of our humanity to want to belong, to be part of a crowd. We need people to start suggesting different songs because there’s so much more depth and wonders to discover if we choose to only ever listen to one band and one song the world never gets to see/hear so much more and so much better… let’s face it blackbird is a 6 out 10 song that is bumped up to a 10 when played live and you hear the fans singing along , it’s magical. But there’s so more to Alter Bridge than one good song in fact there’s many better songs they may not have the same impact when played live but there is better and they’re never given a chance. It will awesome to see Dashy and Dad to discover more Alter Bridge and that’s what it’s about - the journey of opening up your world and discovering the new instead holding on to one song and one band refusing to grow and allow their favorite band to grow. Anyways thanks for your reply, thanks for agreeing with me and in everything I say as you know I’m right, thank you for being a individual and standing up against my opinions to fight for the cause of “WE LOVE BLACKBIRD ITS OUR FAVE SONG” band wagon it’s so good to see people all thinking alike and not having the bravery to wanna be different but like I said when we’ve played the same song over and over again we just want out Anyways i especially want to thank you for being a Alter Bridge fan your truly Awesome We’re coming to Buffalo August the first 1st to play hope you can make it along with WBW Mammoth and the mighty Sevendust it’s gonna be monumental and yes Blackbird will be played

"The willow, it weeps today
A breeze from the distance is calling your name
Unfurl your black wings and wait
Across the horizon, it's coming to sweep you away
It's coming to sweep you away
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
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"
losing friends, family is the worst, especially if too early...
Thankies 🥰
Top Myles ;)
Nice one! Hehe 😛
I'd react to your review of a musical masterpiece but unfortunately I have a cat and a bladder to tend to...
Aww 🥰 😻
Prefer the Wembley version. Still an epic song.
Whoop 🙌
