    You HAVE to listen to "Words Darker Than Their Wings" by Alter Bridge from the Royal Albert Hall. It will blow you away with Myles voice... Trust me!
    Oh, plus the other guitarist harmonizes with Myles as well.

      I was the same! Im in my late 50’s and am a fan of 60’s through 80’s (and into the 90’s even) rock and metal. I thought great hard melodic rock died by the 2000’s because new stuff isn’t pushed by mass media or radio anymore….
      Anyways, I happened upon these guys only because I heard Myles Kennedy singing with Slash, and wondered who this great vocalist was. Went down the Myles Kennedy rabbit hole and now AlterBridge is by far my favorite hard rock band! (And they are unknown by many rock fans who rarely stray from their bubbles).
      I had to find them by chance, which is weird, because as someone mentioned - they have no bad songs or albums!
      Edit:(PS - yes Im aware of The Warning, and any number of other 2000’s thru 2010’s and on new rock and metal bands! I like many of them and I hope they bring guitar based music back to the fore! But AlterBridge is my favorite by far)

    One of my favorite Alter Bridge songs. Myles wrote this song in honor of his friend who sold him his first guitar who passed away from cancer. Holds a special place in my heart and that 10/10 guitar solos was voted as the best rock guitar solo of all time back in 2011 by Guitarist magazine. Fun fact if you know who Creed is, the lead guitarist, bassist and drummer are same guys from the band Creed.

    This is a beautiful track, do yourselves a favour and search the meaning behind the song.
    Alter Bridge is perhaps one of the most successful reboots of a band ever. After the band Creed lost direction/argued/ran-out-of-steam, whatever ... they added a new singer and rebranded (oversimplified, I know) and they have been able to extend themselves for another 20 years. Blackbird is one of their older songs, but it remains one of their most performed and most requested songs.

    Awesome reaction Abi! My favorite part was at 3:14 when he started belting out the lyrics and your eyes almost popped out of your head lol. I've never heard of this band before, but I will be looking into more of their music. The sound and vocal tones gave me serious '80s Queensryche vibes. If you liked this then I suggest "Eyes of a stranger" by Queensryche. The entire "Operation: Mindcrime" album that EOAS is on is one long story woven into the songs. They even recorded two concerts in Madison and La Crosse, Wisconsin back in '91 where they played the entire album, in list order, with video and animation graphics playing behind the band on a screen telling the story behind the music.

    Nightwish - _Ghost Love Score_ (be careful, i've heard they get protective, may possibly need an overlay)
    Jinjer - _Pisces_ (they actively encourage reactions)
    The Warning - _Evolve_ (they also encourage reactions)
    those songs are just introduction points. the catalogs run deep.
    and there's plenty more bands, but that ought get you started (i'm assuming you've already been swamped for some of the Japanese bands outside of just Babymetal).

      Yes, I bet Abigirl has been hit with suggestions for other Japanese bands, and rightly so. Japan is the world's hub of youngerish (if that's a real word) metal and hard rock bands at the moment. Don't get me wrong, there are many great heavy bands all over the world, but Japan is punching above its weight at the moment. I agree with your recommendations for Nightwish (and the connective tissue of Jinger) and the Mexican trio "The Warning", it's hard to believe these three girls can command so much presence on stage.

The same goes for Nightwish, unfortunately, although this has not stopped Ghost Love Score from being the top reacted to song ever, so that's saying something. The Warning are phenominal to react to, all they way back to when they were super young. Their newer music is a bit more industrial and "produced", but still very, very good.

    AB is one of the most underrated bands of all time. They really don’t have a bad song. Myles Kennedy has an amazing voice. Mark Tremonti is a beast on guitar. He is helluva vocalist himself. I think you will really like ‘open your eyes’ ‘broken wings’ ‘rise today’ ‘words are darker than their wings’ to name a few… and something different, Mark Tremonti sings some Frank Sinatra songs (with the surviving member from Sinatra’s band) ‘I’ve got you under my skin’ and ‘fly me to the moon’ are absolutely beautiful!
