    It's their own song, the lyrics by Myles were inspired by a very close friend of his who passed away tragically. It's also known to have one of the best guitar solos every written, played by both Myles and Mark together. It's an astonishingly great song.

      I am so jealous. I saw them a few years ago in a small venue in St. Louis here in the States where I was able to be about 10 ft from the stage, but nothing they did sounded as epic as this or Words Darker than their Wings. Crazy how they are an American band but WAY bigger in the UK than the US.

    This song always reminds me of my daughter who passed 2 days after she was born.
    "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"

      ​@@dudebroguymatePeople do get old, you know. This is extremely difficult song to sing, and many singers lose some of their vocal abilities as they age. Myles is very passionate when it comes to music, and I'm sure he would also like to go back to his prime and be able to "do better", but that's not how the world works.
      He's still one of the best vocals of the genre though, and you as a fan should appreciate his efforts instead of complaining.

    When you said his technique is like Chris Cornell!!! Man you are so so so right. I think so too.. Big fan of both of them, I look up to both of them as great singers and I kind of have the same singing style as them so I can relate to that thought very much. I am a tenor as they are and like singing rock songs. I have achieved my style by singing myles kennedy's songs over the years and also I trying to inculcate that grunge scream and aim to blend their techniques just like Chris does so gracefully. They both are rock vocal gods. Love their songwriting. Can't even get into that here, the lyrics and songwriting just touches my soul.

    He plays the intro of Blackbird by the Beatles because the person he wrote this song about was a huge Beatles fan. So it’s Myles dedication to him along with the song he wrote. In case this isn’t covered in the comments, he wrote this song for a friend who passed away. He had sold him his first guitar and they remained friends.

    People seem to sometimes forget what a good guitarist Myles is, and thats on top of his "Ridonculous" vocals lol. This is one of their best songs IMHO and this performance and the one from Wembley are both ridiculously good. Have you checked out any of their heavier stuff like "Addicted to Pain" yet? Their performance of that song from the same Royal Albert Hall concert is great if you have a chance to check it out. Also for something completely different, Mark Tremonti has an album he did for charity of Frank Sinatra songs that is really good and gives you a whole new respect for his vocal talents. Thanx for reacting to this awesome live performance, keep it up lol!

I discovered AlterBridge only about 7 or so years ago by accident. I heard Myles Kennedy’s vocals with Slash’s project and decided to look up where that awesome singer came from! Found Alterbridge and haven’t looked back since! By far my favourite band now - and they simply don’t make bad music! Combination of classic rock vibes with modern metal flourishes. Enjoy the rabbit hole as I did if you decide to explore more of this great band! 👍🎸😎

    Highly recommend you check out some of Myles' earlier music in the band he was with before Alter Bridge, the Mayfield Four, to hear what his voice was like when he was younger. I'd suggest Summergirl if I had to pick one song. If you're curious about his vocal range, he's been heard either live or on recordings to go from Bb1 all the way up to D6. Not sure what the highest he can still hit with a lot of power and control is, but it's at least F#5.

      No he wasn't able to buy it. He tried but the guy wouldn't sell it. He did let Myles play it for that show in Paris.

    I think you got too carried away by the intro. As many comments have explained The song itself has nothing to do with The Beatles. The only "homage" as you put it is that intro. A deeply emotional lyric for the tragic loss of a dear friend that resonates with anyone who has lost a loved one.They are complimented by the most beautiful chord structures and melody, plus some of best guitar solos ever recorded. The solos are so lyrical in their own way that there is very little room for improvisation. Thank you for your reaction.

    Multiple bands can write songs with identical titles, deal with it. ;) Not all songs titled Blackbird have anything to do with The Beatles...

    It's a shame that Myles chose to sing like that. It ruins the performance in my opinion. I mean, compared to Amsterdam, this performance is a joke at best. It's similar to Wembley where Myles was sick and that's saying a lot about this RAH performance.
    I understand the need to preserve his voice or whatever, but if I were there having paid what undoubtedly was a pretty penny to see them, I'd be very disappointed with this performance of Blackbird. It's weird because he sang other songs normally that night but chose to go nasal for their most known song.
    Alter Bridge were never a great live band, but nowadays they're much worse than in their younger days because of Myles' singing. So many performances ruined. Although they're my favorite band, I don't regret not seeing them live one bit. In my opinion, they should let Mark sing and Myles should play lead guitar. It would be a nice change of pace that both of them would probably enjoy and also a real treat for the fans.

      @@dudebroguymateI argue it. He sounds great! The band sounds fantastic too! Myles sings better now than in the beginning of AB. Check out a UA-cam video chronicling’find the real’ live over the years. His voice has only gotten better and more consistent live. He has lost that youthful exuberance, but he’s much older and never felt completely comfortable putting on that act in the first place, much less as a man in his 50’s. Sounds great as ever though. Not tons of lead rock singers can say that - even by the time they pass 35 yrs old.
