  • Good Christian message! Wicked song!

  • What a great song! Love the solo from Mark, one of the best!

  • AMAZING song

  • this song is great. It makes me want to do something

  • Strong song, strong message.......

  • i want "rise today" as a tattoo, but i also want something else to go with it

  • How about "Rise Today, Change the world"

  • Rise today, Fuck the haters

  • sounds good to me =]

  • Oh wow me too!!!

  • Powerful stuff... Awesome music, awesome message, and some kick ass vocals... Gives me chills

    PEACE

  • I would love to rise up and change this world,so thats what I'm going to do.

  • Alter Bridge!!!!!!!!!!!!

    Da best ever!!!!!!!!!!

  • rise today and change this world

  • Favourite song of all time!!!!!!

  • unforgiven 2007 theme song

  • yes

  • Yeaaahh ohh yeahhhhhhhh itss aa Rise today :)

  • Brilliant!

  • 3:48 >> Richie Kotzen's solo lick!! nice job man!!!!

  • Richie Kotzen plays on this?? o_O

  • Man, every song I've heard of Alter Bridge's is awesome, yet I never hear them on the radio...what the hell?

  • b/c the radio isnt allowed to play a bands music that is just pure awesomeness.instead they choose to play mainstream music.:(

  • Hey tehawes, this isn't one of their best songs in my opinion. It's good, but not jaw dropping. If you want to be inspired, listen to their song Blackbird. UNBELIEVABLE. If radio stations would devote 8 minutes to this song, you wouldn't hear the end of it and AB. Keep in mind that this is 2009, the era of garbage music (rap). The majority of rock that is popular is heavy metal. All they need is more exposure with some of their best songs. Keep in mind they only have two albums out.

  • keep in mind there are alot of better bands (rock ) out there but since radio stations dj cant play wht they want like back in the 70's and 80's we get stuck listening to shit

  • AB is freakin awesome. They're amazing live too!!! Somehow they always rock my face off, and I enjoy it. :]

    btw, both Mark and Myles are GODS. Super talent flowing out of both of them. I also love Flip and Brian. hah!

    I just proved how much of an AB nerd I truely am.

  • Wrestlemania 20 Theme

    Great Song

    And what a PPV that was!

  • Added this to my fave's cause it was last years Wrestlemania theme. I love this song. <333

  • This is the music of the god's.

    Keep rocking Alter Bridge it's what you guys do best.

  • dis song roks

  • Há banda melhor no mundo? Então me mostre!!!

    Banda perfeita, e CD perfeito. Muito bom!!!

  • cant wait till next album

  • Alter Bridge is so fucking kick ass!

  • They're definitely good at writing a catchy tune.

  • What!! A "catchy song" Is that bthe best you can say about these guys? Honestly? Is that your take? My evangelism for these guys is endless, and I'm 47, brought up and weaned on solid quality classic rock. These guys are utterly fucking MAGIC!!!!!!!!!

  • Yeah, catchy. Its not magic. Its okay. It gets them on the charts and makes them money. But it feels utterly uninspired and kinda hollow. Compare this song with any song out of the Soundgarden catalog and you'll see what I mean. Its okay, but its uninspired and falls because of it. They have potential, sure enough, but they aren't living up to it. Sorry to burst your bubble.

  • Thanks Stace :)

    Rise Today !

    sdmfW

  • i love dis sound of music. can anyone tell me other bands with similar sound please

  • creed, pearl jam, puddle of mudd, staind, nickelback and nirvana

  • puddle of mudd not as much.

  • do you think so? I think that POM is a post-grunge band just like the others.

  • it is but they don't really sound similar

  • Im gonna give you an example chester.

    just listend to the POM´s song "blurry" and then listend nickelback´s "too bad" and then after listend creed´s one last breath and tell me if the riffs arent similar...

    I know each one of them have their own style but they all come from post-grunge and thats what it counts.

    thats my opinion, maybe you said so cause you dont like POM. But I think their first album " come clean" was great.

  • i know they are from the same genre. but now that i think about they actually kinda sound similar. and actually pudds of mudd is one of my favorite bands.

  • I believe that the lead singer for AB is definately awesome, and is up there in the ranks next to shinedown, because they both are amazing, i believe that Alter Bridge and Shinedown on the same ticket would be amazing :)

  • love the song they rock!!!!!!!!

  • great video. definitely reminds me of a perfect circle's video "judith". Both amazing songs with amazing videos

  • I was on their concert in Sweden. And the day after i was travelling to Florida, I met their crew(Not the band members) and the band Logan. Appearently Myles is going to sing in the new Led zeppelin and Creed might get back again. It would be awesome to see them both on a tour. ^^

  • yes it would be.

  • ok here we go this is a quote from Michael Tremonti (marks brother) from abb . net

    "1) Alter Bridge are not breaking up and will get back into the studio later next year.

    2) Myles Kennedy will not be singing for Led Zeppelin.

    3) Mark Tremonti has not spoken to Scott Stapp in five years. I can not predict the future but until those two speak, nothing is happening. Case closed.

    4) Alter Bridge is the #1 priority for Mark, Myles, Brian and Flip. Always. Forever.

    Clear enough?"

  • greatest song of ALL time!! for now at least, but its been that way for quite a while...i love Alter bridge. Kennedy isnt gonna leave. he BETTER not...

  • No. It's not even near one of Alter Bridge's better songs

  • ok, here is how it going to play out... Kenedy is going to work with jimmy page of led zepplin on a zep tribute thingy. While the rest of alter bridge which is basically creed without scott stapp is going to re unite creed, until kenedy is done. So...

    Alter bridge is taking an Agreed break

    Kendy is joining a Zeppling thing with Led Zepplins guitarist

    Creed is re uniting for a while!

  • i pray kennedy doesnt leave alterbridge

  • Grrrr!!! He's not gonna leave Alter Bridge!!! He loves them!! It's pretty obvious he loves them!! You people have got to stop paying attention to mindless internet rumours! If you've watched ANY AB interviews then you'd know that Alter Bridge are here to STAY and they're recording another album next year!! If you don't believe me, ask Myles on his friggin' myspace and he'll tell you! Leave him a message about it when AB's tour is finished, and he should reply! Jeez...

  • just 6/5 ?????? hahah good joke try 100000000000000000000000000000­000000000000000000000000000000­000000000000000000000000000000­000000000000000000000000000000­000000000000000000000000000000­000000000000000000000000000000­000000000000000000000000000000­000000000000000000000000000000­000000000000000/10 and half of it goes there just cuz mark tremonti is the lead guitarist hahah

  • i think i may have given this vid half of it's views, i love it that much

  • 10/10

  • puts the balls back into rock and roll

  • They are an amazing group. I heard them a few years back and loved them ever since.

  • The singer looks like a who from who-ville

  • Mark Tremonti is not only a killer guitarist, but he is killer at harmonizing, just perfect for Myles's voice. :]

  • Seconded. Mark's vocals on the new album are fantastic when coupled with Myles's

  • he's not a killer guitarist?

    wow, what makes a "killer" guitarist then?

    mark has sold over 40million records and is probably in the top 5 relavent guitar players out there.

  • I think you misunderstood what I wrote. I said that He was NOT ONLY a killer Guitarist but ALSO he is good at harmonizing with Myles Kennedy's voice.

  • he said that he is "not only a good gutarists but also a killer harmonizer" he was implying that he was killer at both

  • yeah your right...he did the same when he was with Creed

  • Rock will always Live

  • very very awesome song. They song this song for WWE UNFORGIVEN !

    Superb !!!!!!!

  • this band, from a scottish person's point of view, need something to push them here, and when they get it they will be huge, like the biggest thing, i cant believe they arent yet, but i love them, got all their albums, there incredable.

  • Best band by far in a long time. Metallica has done great for their time, but what they make now is nothing to what they used to make. Their time has come to an end, they have been too twisted by money to make anything good. Everyother band is so typical, but these guys are just freaking amazing!

  • SWEET Song!!!

  • amazing song <3

  • I met Myles Kennedy about 7-8 years ago, when he was in a band called "Mayfield Four" (from Spokane/Cheney, WA) I sold merch at their concert for them. I have to tell you, he is not only an INCREDIBLE MUSICIAN, SINGER, SONGWRITER and PERFORMER, but he also is AN INCREDIBLE HUMAN BEING!! He is warm, caring, funny and very approachable...He actually went out in the crowd and talked to tons of people before and after they played! I believe he is one of the BEST TALENTS in Rock Music today! By Far!

  • yeah Led Zeppelin is talking about getting him to sing for their reunion tour because Robert Plant refused

  • this song is awesome

  • so many songs try and bring that type of thought and it seems to be missed..we love the music,it moves us,we listen,we know the words but we miss the true meaning..its like Lennon said..all you need is love..forget war,forget hate we dont need to be wasting our precious energy!

  • Not only does this song kick ass, but it has a strong meaning behind it.

  • Amen brother. You can still believe and Rock! This is an awesome song and awesome band.

  • This sounds Like Zakk Wylde's Book of Shadows stuff. 's good

  • I agree w/ shadowoods, if you listen intently it talks of, are we ever gonna change can we stop the blood from war now! delightful lyric

  • fn amazing song

  • listen to what they are saying..these guys are not just rocking they are battling pain and suffering and globalism..good stuff..wake up people...

  • You could'nt be more right friend

  • :DD i love this song the video is awsome ,too :DD

    lyrics are great. Alter bridge rocks

  • This band RULES.

    Myles Kennedy is one of the greatest voices ever

  • Quando ascolto gli Alter Bridge mi viene la pelle d'oca, e comincio a volare in alto...sempre piu in alto...grazie Alter Bridge!!!!!!!...Dark.d

  • the music video makes me like that song more than be4

    thanx alter bridge

  • Alter Bridge are awesome there music is unique with a blend of metal and rock. Quality!

  • Alter Bridge Rockkkkkkkkkkkkksssssss

  • I wont lie, the music video itself was a bit dissapointing, old fashion/lame but the song makes up for it tenfold. Rock on Alter Bridge, hope your next album will be as good as i expect.

  • best band ever

  • la zorra alter bridge !

  • this is a great song, with great lyrics, people should really listen and check them out.

  • whwre the f*** the the video of rise today which crossed a million views go? :O

  • oh...this rock!

  • I love this song!! Alter Bridge Rock !!!!

  • that was aswome

  • alter bridge always rocks no matter what....=)just chill all their songs are great

  • they own Mark Tremonti, whu cares they got sumthin diff in sounds or watever, mark tremonti rocks!!!

  • my comment was an answer to berniehutch07... :)

  • berniehutch07 - spot on bud! saw these guys last night, A.M.A.Z.I.N.G

  • who gives a fuck if they are christian rock r not!! and ppl claim dey rip off creed!! dey r 75% of creed and dey composed d music which woz made by creed!! lets get it straight dey r a class band!! prob 1 of d best around!!! and deyre stuff is way better than wot creed came out wit!! top band!!

  • Dude, I agree with you but please try to type in proper English or at least closer than what you presented here. Represent for all the rockers out there partner.

  • Totally agreed, but please write in proper english.

  • also i forgot that there isnt any christian values behind the lyrics...with that absence, they are able to open up more to what is effecting and affecting them in terms of how they view the world and the people in it

  • myles was an accomplished guitar player when he was with the mayfield four...now that he has tremonti teaching him how to rape a guitar, they are going to keep coming out with better tunes...and in terms of their lyrics, its completely different from creed..unlike most people i wasn't stuck on human clay...their music is so much different now than what it was with My Own Prison

  • the lead singer is Myles Kennedy man....rock on

  • what's the name of the lead singer?

  • Great, great song. Very inspiring. We need more songs like this.

  • good band but...IRON MAIDEN RULZ!!

  • Agreed. Up the Irons! Thas not to say I don't like Alter Bridge...seeing them in November!!!

  • pure rock!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  • Cool vid!!

  • Awesome! Absolutely Awesome!

  • PAUL REED SMITH RULES!!!

  • Hehe the one the singer is using is a Dean Resonator not a Paul Reed Smith. But yeh PRS' do rock and Tremonti uses a PRS for this song as he does for every song of course :)

  • The dobro-stye guitar is a Resonator... possibly. However, the electric is PRS McCarty Soapbar... smart guy.

  • This is one of my Alter Bridge favourite song. The words speak for themself.This is a song that gives you the energy to "RISE EVERYDAY".

    Anyone who don't like Alter Bridge deserves a good kick straight in the ass.

  • yeah this band is really underated they're amazing and this song is awesome

  • this band is realy under rated n should B 1 of the best rock "pop" band in the world

  • YEAHH OH YEAHHH

  • River's of time lie silent

    wake not for the bell

    sleep,sleep till rivers end

    though time and space excell

    And angels seen or demons known

    verge not on men sublime

    wait,wait till trumpets sound

    thus given heavens sign

  • Everyone needs to take their head out of thir asses and find out that both CREED and ALTER BRIDGE are phenomenal bands

  • then why thrash them?

  • i havent. i like both creed and alter bridge. i personally think alter bridge is better but theyre both good

  • thye may have the same band members, except Myles of course, but they are not the same band.

  • instrumentally, yes they are. and lyrically, theres not much of a change there either.the only difference is kennedy and stapp sound different

  • Yes, myles = big difference. And now the great rythm guitars is also a big change from Creed.

  • This is my current ring tone, reminds me to get up and out there and try to change the world, one person at a time :)

  • I love his voise ;D

  • What was the other singers name again..."Pompus Ass"? They are way better without scott.

    Alter Bridge is one hell of a band and all their songs kicks ass...

  • One of the best rock bands ever, for me. Just for the band: keep doing what you are doing now, and never leave.
