Myles Kennedy - White Flag at Bofest

[likeaRocknRoll]

But whats the real meaning of this song?

[johnnyfggs]

@likeaRocknRoll the "white fkag" is him surrendering to the love of his life, and pledging to do annything for her. "my guard fell for you today, now i will surrender, take this prisoner and make him something better..." amazig stuff!

[frebetta]

Thank you for editing the videos to where the songs starts. Currently one of the best vids on youtube .

[TalkingCardCreator]

Probably one of my favorite songs ever. Myles is amazing

[senor792]

Does anybody know the tabs to this song ? It would be great to have a go at playing myself. I know the chords but quite confused at finger positions etc !?

[Revillo17]

The Mayfield Four - Second Skin is one of my favourites albums ever !!!!

[GothikAngelKate]

aww i found them :D

[GothikAngelKate]

does anybody knows where i can find the lyrics? :/

[chevelle45408]

you can tell he was really thinking about something when he wrote this song. he plays with a lot of emotion, you can tell it means something to him.

[MsMidsummer]

LOVELY....... TRUE........

[scatterboo08]

yea..it was mayfield four...but Myles is the star....talent...and obviously ...drive....

[oferrarista]

The Second Skin album is FULL of hymns!

[Danwell100]

imo its so much better than the studio version

[poisooontime]

To all the visual products of the modern music, to all self-elected-singers, to all discographers, to the whole music industry: look at this man, take note, think. Deeply.

[JosephTheRocker]

i think its amusing to see that this whole song is based off 2 chords, yet with like 10 different ways to play it... lol

[thatonedude675]

NEW DRINKING GAME!!!

Go through all the Bofest vids you can find, and any time you hear the random chick try to "sing" over Myles- bottoms up

[5deadspace]

This song always puts a tear in my eyes

[lilORANG]

Absolutely beautiful. How is Myles not better known? The Mayfield Four was one of the greatest bands of the time and they got zero recognition. Alter Bridge is the best band out there now and I barley hear their songs on rock stations on the radio. At least his voice got some publicity with the Slash tour.

[illinifan121091]

@lilORANG so true, lilORANG, so true

[Blackbird253]

The day I dedicate this song to someone it mean I'm going to get marry with her

[huttisau]

can it get any better than this? I don't think so! Stunning, Impressive, Great, Wonderful!!

[catcjkjd]

It's nice to know that someone who has been blessed with so much talent dosen't seem to take it for granet or have an out of control ego.Thats why I'm your biggest fan Myles.

[TheDodhunt86]

everyone stop comparing myles to scott or anybody for that matter. there will only be one winner. as a singer,guitarist and songwriter myles is untouchable!!!! this preformance is amazing!!

[dr05guitar]

what a song

[use2windsurf]

I, for one, am a HUGE Myles Kennedy and Alter Bridge fan. I have so much respect for both singers. It's so hard to really compare the two. Obviously Myles is more talented but Stapp has a unique and very recognizable voice. Look at it this way, without Stapp there would be no AB haha :)

[cancerfaceman]

if ne once can figure out the tabs please send them to me, i must learn to play it like this !

[MysteriousWonders]

@cancerfaceman dont be a tab guitarist man, learn what key its in, and the progression and go from there.

[cancerfaceman]

@MysteriousWonders i'm a beginner to playing guitar :( i'm not sure how to do that

[MysteriousWonders]

@cancerfaceman oh sorry i never knew. in time you will learn

[fluttergirl77]

I wish I was there...

[spyder7040]

The only MF4 song I like more than this one is Summergirl. Everything Myles Kennedy does is deserving of praise.

[jasnmcq430]

Its just in standard tuning. theres no capo. i can send u guys the tabs if u want

[enigmarodrigo]

@jasnmcq430 yesssssssssssssssssssssss :) sent it!

[kwstasmitroglou]

Myles is like singing just for me...

[chrisgibson92]

Its not in any open tuning, its in standard with what looks like the capo on the second fret, and he is playing an e major chord slid up to the 8th fret, which is in effect a variation of an a major chord but with the open high B and E strings, and then plays around with the notes to get the melody lines

[underthelighthouse]

Does anyone know what tuning this is in?

[allardmeijering]

open G I guess.. like loads of the stuff he does acoustic;)

realy cool btw..

[lonard38]

this is incredible

[greekfreak1980]

Just mindblowing,cant wait for the new Alter Bridge record!

[dualcesar]

and i'm still looking for "mercy rub" HIGH QUALITY ,track made by myles, when he was the lead singer in TMF, let me know if abybody has it....

[Woody72094]

its on youtube, ive found it. Try searching "Mayfeild Four- mercy rub"

[Booya2112]

Is there anyway to get this whole concert on an mp3 file or something...

[jinqs84]

That's just amazed me myles !!!...You are one of the most amazing singers, that just too underrated..damn it!

[AlterMonte]

Thanks again, Myles.

You're the greatest artist i've ever seen.

[bigboo71289]

This is prolly my favorite Mayfield Four song (besides Summergirl). It just has an epic feel to it.

[austinh22]

wow man. wow. wow. wow. wow. MYLES FUCKIN KENNEDY. what a performance

[klauserock]

Myles "out-of-this-world" Kennedy! Just incredible and amazing!!!

[JOTAP11WEST]

best singer in the world

[essamloru]

u know this is a SUFI inspired song because his drummer from mayfield four was from the subcontinent and NUSRAT FATEH ALI KHAN was 1 of the pioneers of it , but how well he has blended the sufi theme with his heavenly vocals , BRAVO!!

[HaschTomtenXD]

MYLES!! He is just too AWESOME! :-D

Can't wait for alter bridge's new album coming out early 2010 ;) Love MK! :)

[bloggertito]

someone have the tab to play this song?...I like this version...is awesome...

[BuglyAstard]

Holy crap! Would someone like to try and cover this? Good luck with that. Legendary

[1JdA1]

I just want to say one more thing. Stop comparing Scott and Myles Together. They are different types of singers. They are both great men. Scott has made some mistakes and that is true, but he has gotten over them though and is now a better man than most because of it. His personel life should not make you judge him as a artist. I like both singers. They both have somehting to offer. I think this song sounds cool from CREED. I don't know why but it reminds me of AB.

watch?v=NirwtH6V4QQ

[LegendaryGerous]

Creed never made this song or niether did Alter Bridge, it was in Myles band before Alter Bridge, The Mayfield Four. Secondly, everyone is going to compare them to each other, they have the same band and those who like Creed say Scott is better, those who like Alter Bridge say Myles is better. I like them both, but Myles is a much more talented singer, his range is far superior. But Scott is a great singer too.

[bayz26]

myles is the best and that is for sure.AB III is on hte way so we better watch for it

[F4RB3YONDM3T4L]

@LegendaryGerous i dont eve like either bands at all, but myles is one of the best singers i've ever heard. scott stapp is a drunken, wife beating, eddie veder wannabe. he cant even sing in key anymore. fuck that guy.

[LegendaryGerous]

Yeah I know, that comment was before I watched a live version. I was watching some recent Creed tour footage and I was going, " I wonder what the band is thinking right now as Scott struggles to hit his own notes." The CD's are still good though xD

Don't misunderand, Myles is my favorite singer and Scott is far from being anywhere in the same league. Myles is one of those singers who not only has ability but passion, I think he deserves whatever success he gets, he'll be touring with slash soon

[thebix3]

@LegendaryGerous I agree with everything you said except the part about Stapp being a great singer. You are probably just being nice. I think he is average at best.

[Joshmv14]

@LegendaryGerous

And according to Mark Tremonti, Myles is as good a guitarist as he is :D

[1JdA1]

That is a fantastic performance! Fantastic!

[Cgrtwn69]

Awesome! Scott Stapp may have got his band back and I really don't f***ing care how many records GREED, I mean CREED, sold. Stapp will never have the talent and class Myles has and he knows it too.

[LegendaryGerous]

lol Alter Bridge is still going, they are meeting as I type this and writing new material for AB III which is awesome.

[Whipster180]

I am beyond jealous of all you who got to be there for this.

[NytestrykerZ]

I also gotta add, whoever is singing in the crowd actually adds to the song. It's kinda beautiful.

[Babarundi]

This guy really is one of the great rock vocalists of our time a true class act. And a very modest, humble person too.

The best is yet to come from him.

[AlteredBridge]

absolutely dead on. myles IS the best rock vocalist today.

[Go2Sleep02]

My favorite MF4 song! :D Finally performed by Myles and there is footage.

[dosewallips333]

To think this stunningly beautiful song hasn't been done live in 9 years is an absolute crime.

[wwedivaxx]

it really is. I'm so happy that he broke it out for this and that I got to experience it live! this might be my favorite MF4 song.

[shellbblue]

Simply remarkable!

[shimmerchk]

3:33 UNREAL! White Flag is one of my favorite songs of all time, and watching this live acoustic version is breathtaking. Goosebumps never left my arms and the song leaves me teary eyed every time I listen to it. Thanks for posting!

[wwedivaxx]

omg I agree. you're so welcome! this might've been the song of the night. hallelujah was gorgeous as usual, and every song was amazing, but something there was something about this song.

[chuckthenugget]

@shimmerchk absolutely right, 3:33 gave me chills

[CrackTheSkye9]

go figure... the amazing musician is out touring small clubs playing his heart out while the rest of the alter bridge crew is selling out themselves on tour with creed... what a joke... they all said theyd never go back to creed... that is until the money ran out, than they went back to their cash cow. myles is an amazing musician.

[brandyerin]

Bofest is a benefit for A Kid's Place child advocacy center here in Lawrenceburg, TN!! Myles was gracious enough to help us raise money for child abuse awareness and we are so thankful!!!! This was an amazing night and one I hope his fans will love him for even more!!! His voice blew everyone away and he enjoyed the night as much as we did!!

[dimcreed]

epic!

[DanielaJn]

It's mind blowing...

He should have played more Mayfield four stuff..

he's amazing :)

[faramir876]

Myles is an amazing musicain

[chtimixeur]

Magical. This song is one of his best ever and is really powerful. Every time I hear it, it's like I'm in another world for 5 minutes.

[gbruin91]

Myles = Jaw-dropping greatness

[tittib]

HE'S THE BEST!!!

[AlterMonte]

Speechless x2

[LennyWhatever]

Speechless. Music doesn't get any better than this.

[wwedivaxx]

no it does not. not by a longshot. :)

[lordofrandomness4]

This was incredible acoustic! I was there i was on the right side 2nd. (same side those ladies kept yelling out stuff) I recorded the whole thing except my camera died on last song :(

[wwedivaxx]

you got open your eyes??? you going to post it?? I took a break and didn't post that one, and now I'm regretting it. lol.

[wwedivaxx]

oops... meant I didn't record it. lol.

[lordofrandomness4]

I got everything (except the middle of hallelujah) I also got all the breaks in between the songs including the sneak peak thing he played that he said might be on AB 3.

[wwedivaxx]

awesome! can't wait to see your vids!

[lordofrandomness4]

me 2, lol it might be alittle bit though but it should be worth the wait. :)

[DanielaJn]

what?? a sneak peak????

[lordofrandomness4]

I want to but i dont have my friends camera yet i really want too!

[ParkLifeMike]

Without doubt one of the biggest talents us normal beings have ever been gifted.

[KindredSouls]
