I think the contrast of the low end for the verses and the high mix in the chorus is a pretty cool effect. But I agree he has the range/stamina/technique to do this in the original key. He's got high notes in spades
One of my biggest complaints is that Bruce spends too much time in the higher register - he actually has some really nice lower tones that we rarely get to hear. Higher is not always better.
Maybe because its acoustic it would be too tiring for the listener if he went high all through the song. In Bruce's case the song is fully arranged with 2 overdriven guitars so you need the highs. (just an idea, no smarty pants intention:))
Holy crap! That was good! Huge Iron Maiden fan here, as well as a Huge Alter Bridge fan as well. I never in my wildest thoughts, could imagine "The Trooper" being performed by anyone else but Maiden, yet alone an acoustic version from Myles, unbelievable. Dang that was satisfying. I want more acoustic Iron Maiden featuring Myles. How about "Where Eagles Dare" or even "Aces High"? Myles, like Iron Maiden are among the best story tellers. UP THE IRONS Myles!
Wow. He's so humble saying it's a Johnny Cash interpretation because this has Myles Kennedy stamped into it like a 1000degC branding iron on a raging Stallion. Amazing. Those vocals are amazing.
I’d say that’s the opposite of humble putting himself with cash. Not saying he’s not thats not for me or your dumb ass to say but putting urself next to a legend isn’t humble my dog
My ideal bloke. Gorgeous looking, humble and boy can he sing. Seen him 3 times now and can’t wait to see him again. Thanks for this Myles and love that your dog is called Mozart.
Very cool version of a very cool song. Great vocals, great guitar work....I would love a full record of his acoustic musical interpretations. Great stuff, talented guy.
Myles Kennedy, from his home, rocking the sh?t out of that guitar and nailing The Trooper. So cool! Thanks for posting and i'll share it on an Alter Bridge fan page so more people can see it. He did 5 songs and one of them was an incredible acoutic version of Native son. Will it be possible to post that one too? :)

Jorge Cordero , I'm a Kevin Bacon fan too, and never saw the likeness between these two men. Except a bit for the cheekbones? It's an internet gag, the internet hurdle.
So exciting to see him playing live here in Brazil twice, Rock 'n Rio 2017 and Slash 2019. Milles is one of a kind, a huge artist, must be at the higher level in his generation, love to hear him playing and singing.
I actually like the version of The Trooper that he sung in his home studio. In my opinion it's much better than this version. Myles doesn't get the credit that he most definitely deserves. He's so incredibly talented and that's such a shame because there's nothing he can't sing that he doesn't give due justice to. Here's a link to his at-home recording of The Trooper if anyone is interested. ua-cam.com/video/TJDfziSYvgQ/v-deo.html
Over the years I have always thought there is a lot more to come from this track , although the original is a classic maybe listening to those maiden united acoustic tracks i always thought this needed re doing ...
He has an amazing talent. Hear me out. He was born with his instrument and did not have to learn it. Find it yes . Would anyone know SRV, Jimi or Clapton if they could not play guitar and just sing? I love the guy... he is a singer. Celine Dion, Wayne Newton and Whitney Houston have never been thought of as musicians.
The cat living 2 doors down from us is named Mozart as well 😅 but jeezz. Myles Kennedy man. Like sure maybe he took a few practice runs at this, but the recording is live and flawless! Its just amazing to see how much talent he has! I'm actually for some reason wondering how he would sound in a band like Dragonforce... just curious... anyone else?
The year of that tour (2018) saw it at Turner Hall in Milwaukee...when this started I'm like...I know that (also became a Maiden fan in my formidable teenage 80's years...LOL) sound....and then BOOM! What a fantastic rendition...also it goes w/o saying how ridiculously talented Myles is...great solo show (truth be told...actually prefer it over an AB show).
he deserves way more recognition. one of the most talented musicians out there
Period bro... Period
I review AB albums on my channel if anyone is interested
Ahh. He sounds like he would be a prick though. But anyways. He sure can sing 🎤
@@BigDaddy-vr2ut it’s the opposite actually he’s a very nice and down to earth person
@@BigDaddy-vr2ut he is actually one of nicest guy
Oh boy... I need the non acoustic version. He could nail it! Plus I wanna see mark tremonti shred it out 😏
I wanna see how myles would do Adrian's solo. Mark would be a better fit for Dave's I think.
Or Slash.
Dont think there is anything he can't sing....
You got that right
This man is a gem. Please protect him at all cost!
Myles is a vocal god, Amazing technique and talent
I review AB albums on my channel if anyone is interested
Starts at 1:54 if anyone wants to replay
Needed this
I really think he's a brilliant singer
And is better than a lot on the circuit today
Seen him live and he's a power house
Aint no way you used the phrase “on the circuit” lmaoo
Myles can sing anything, criminally underrated.
I review AB albums on my channel if anyone is interested
I know he's singing it low because it's easier on his voice, but man I know he could do it higher like Bruce does.
I think the contrast of the low end for the verses and the high mix in the chorus is a pretty cool effect. But I agree he has the range/stamina/technique to do this in the original key. He's got high notes in spades
I actually really love it when Myles keeps his voice on the lower end every now and then.
One of my biggest complaints is that Bruce spends too much time in the higher register - he actually has some really nice lower tones that we rarely get to hear. Higher is not always better.
If he did the first strofe low, then the second strofe high, it would have been amazing
Maybe because its acoustic it would be too tiring for the listener if he went high all through the song. In Bruce's case the song is fully arranged with 2 overdriven guitars so you need the highs. (just an idea, no smarty pants intention:))
Honestly, I doubt that there is any song that Myles Kennedy can't make an acoustic version and sing perfectly. ❤️🇧🇷
I want to hear a Chevelle cover or duet
Holy crap! That was good! Huge Iron Maiden fan here, as well as a Huge Alter Bridge fan as well. I never in my wildest thoughts, could imagine "The Trooper" being performed by anyone else but Maiden, yet alone an acoustic version from Myles, unbelievable. Dang that was satisfying.

And to think I wasn't going to listen . This was excellent
Una bestia Myles, una bestia!!! 👏👍🤘😃
Looks like the lovechild of Kevin Bacon and Keanu Reeves
HA!! never noticed that before but very true :-)
No, he is if kevin bacon had a child with kevin bacon
I searched the comments for this! Thought the same
Ok Miles, I'm impressed, this is a great version! Always knew you were talented!
Wow. He's so humble saying it's a Johnny Cash interpretation because this has Myles Kennedy stamped into it like a 1000degC branding iron on a raging Stallion. Amazing. Those vocals are amazing.
I’d say that’s the opposite of humble putting himself with cash. Not saying he’s not thats not for me or your dumb ass to say but putting urself next to a legend isn’t humble my dog
I regret that I have but one thumbs up to give up for Miles Kennedy...and Iron Maiden!
Kevin Bacon has been cloned and look at what we got = Myles Kennedy
This is a great cover. Acoustic changes the dynamics a lot and he holds back when he should.
My ideal bloke. Gorgeous looking, humble and boy can he sing. Seen him 3 times now and can’t wait to see him again. Thanks for this Myles and love that your dog is called Mozart.
It's fuckin' THOR... God of Thunduhhhhhh!!!! Stand up and shout!!!!
Much love for this guy.
IM-my biggest Love since 37 years with seeing 153 Shows in 30 countries!
Great Cover!!!!
Cheers from Germany!
Up the Irons forever!
Very cool version of a very cool song. Great vocals, great guitar work....I would love a full record of his acoustic musical interpretations. Great stuff, talented guy.
We need a studio version of this.
Heck I would take this version on spotify

This was a really great version, awesome job catching the vibe of the song with just one guitar. Beautiful vocals too! Thanks for sharing.
You've already fed "Mozart" with that rendition man. He just demands an encore thats all😅🤘
This song deserved a video, not an audio !! I miss Myles Kennedy. ❤️🇧🇷
concordo
There is a video from a couple of years ago you can find.
Brilliant.........I can see the story in the song better with this version . It comes across more powerful in some ways .
Love it 🤘👍
Hardest working man in music.
I've always been a fan of him but listening him saying Maiden, oh my god , made me losing my mind. Keep Rockin Myles, Love You
Myles is a truly force of nature. Those high notes gave me the chills.
I couldn't find any high note

Went to a show he did with Slash in Brasilia some years ago, it was fucking nuts.

Love it. His vocal range is incredible. The arrangement is done with integrity and is really well thought out. Great work MK!
I'm on my knees hoping I can see him in a live concert. One day
Big fan of Alter Bridge. Myles can sing anything. Love his take on this classic Maiden track.🤘

I absolutely adore this man's talents!!
I felt like watching a movie where the 'hero' is telling a thriling story !! Owesome cover !!!
that fact that you can see his perfect vibrato on those belts at 3:50 ish baffled me
Love this man!
can you release this as a single? would love to add this cover on my spotify playlist
I think I've "👍" pretty much all the beautiful comments made by beautiful people down here. Myles, you rock man, love you!
Absolutely amazing cover, love it!!!
He's such a talented man and I was lucky enough to see this live on the Year of the tiger
AWESOME !!! You should sing this song with Bruce together. I'd like to hear it so much ❤
Well, that was amazing. One of my Maiden favorites, and he more than did it justice.
HOLY CRAP this is exquisite!
Myles sings sooo amazing
Over the years I have always thought there is a lot more to come from this track , although the original is a classic maybe listening to those maiden united acoustic tracks i always thought this needed re doing ...
Trucking Awesome dude!! Thanks from a fellow Maiden fan. Caught your YOTT show in Milwaukee 2018 and it was dynamite. Come back soon!
Voice of a God
Great cover ! powerfull voice.
I’m so happy to hear this!! Amazing Myles!!
Very cool but would def. love to hear you belt this out plugged in with Alter Bridge...
Freaking awesome. Can anyone guess the chords for this version?
Love Myles Kennedy! Great cover. Kicks Ass!!
He has an amazing talent. Hear me out. He was born with his instrument and did not have to learn it. Find it yes . Would anyone know SRV, Jimi or Clapton if they could not play guitar and just sing?

That was some pot pourri of Sonic
Wow, this is fuckin' sick!!
What a surprise - I love it.
Totally awesome love it
This is fucking amazing, he nailed this! 🔥🤘🏻
Or, maybe he just heard Ryan Adams doing Wasted Years and realised it might a good idea to do a Maiden track acoustically.
Danny Cavanagh from Anathema made it better
Wow! That worked!!
The cat living 2 doors down from us is named Mozart as well 😅 but jeezz. Myles Kennedy man. Like sure maybe he took a few practice runs at this, but the recording is live and flawless!

Awesome. Only a handful of people could pull this off...
4:05 what a great way to fill that space 🤘🤘
Myles! Please More of this!!!! You are so talented . This cover has been amazing!
Needs a solo in the middle otherwise that was really cool
Great Myles. Waiting new album from Slash and the conspirators
I review AB albums on my channel if anyone is interested
Wow that’s…… interesting. Definitely not terrible. I kinda like it

Gotta LOVE Kennedy!!!😎👍
That’s was amazing.
Thank you sir for the wonderful performance!
He's the best! 🤘🏻💥

Guys! Look in the UA-cam a guy called Raphael Mendes its same Dickinson voice ! Amazing!
He came to South Africa 😲
Incredible
Pos no que me gusta más que la original? Increíble, best Cover ever.
He does real justice to the song, interesting to compare it to the Maiden United version who do the best acoustic Maiden stuff IMO.
I saw AB live in Frankfurt. Myles and Mark together is by far the best the music scene has to offer these days.
