me: I love Alter Bridge! girlfriend: eewww , they suck! cop: so you saying she fell and got stabbed by a knife on the floor in her head? me: yup, while we was listening to alter bridge. cop: mmmhhmm, but creed is waaaay better. swat: so you sayinga knife fell from the sky and stabbed his head? yea: yup! swat: okay man! thanks! i love your alter bridge shirt btw! me: want to fuck!?!? swat: with a shirt like that? hell yeah!! lmao true fucking story!!!
Mark plays straight finger picking or straight with a pick, but Myles is using hybrid picking for any of those string skipping parts. Just an interesting observation, neither style is better than the other, and the culmination makes Alter Bridge what they are.
@scottyagreen when did you see Queensryche?... they were my first concert Alter Bridge was my second so i can sort of relate i suppose. i love Alter bridge far more though. i think the quality of Queensryches music has been declining since mindcrime II, along with geoff voice. but thats just my personal opinion. I fell inlove with Alter Bridge in 2008 at a free concert in NC. so happy that i found them, theyve helped me wwith so many struggles ive faced in my life. especially with this song
@MissLadyLexa wow what a coincidence, queensryche was my first concert when i was like 8 or 9 lol it was back in 94-95 time period, Pantera was the opening act, and this was when they were like just hitting the scene.
Im a rock and metal songwriter. My band recently broke up and i have unused songs and more material im working on now. Im looking to either join a band as a writer again or as just a freelance writer to rock artists and or their bands. My main influences are the 80s era Guns N Roses. Alter Bridge...
How can the members of Alter Bridge (except Myles) came and still continue with Creed? There's nothing even related... they improved a lot in Alter Bridge.
I just keep digging deeper and deeper into Myles Kennedy, Alter Bridge, Creed. This is an incredibly talented artist. A natural on lead, as a front man for Slash, Simple Acoustics that bare his soul like hallelujah. He's staying hungry and exploring his own talent, a journey few get to udertake.
@KevinLavaful also look into citizen swing, its a bit different from Alter Bridge and mayfield four but i still enjoy listening to them. it really showcases Myles' range of not just his voice but style as well. :) happy listening

It seems like they are trying to best this solo in most every song in ABIII, which is epic, but I can't help but enjoy their solo from Open Your Eyes the most.
These guys are probably my favorite band right now and i listen to them constantly but for some reason this song just doesn't do it for me. It could be about five minutes shorter for starters. I skip it almost every time I listen to the album.
@TdvanDuijn It's a matter of opinion, I suppose. I can't put my finger on it really. It is a great song just not one of my faves. I'm more about their faster up-tempo stuff. To each his own as they say.
Saw them last month live an i just can say they are so fuckin awesome i can't believe it. they are live so freakin good.. and myles now how to connect with the audience.. special guest was black stone cherry. best day of my live :) Alter bridge <3
@FreddyBobby17 Hey talk to Guitarist Magazine. I believe that it was actually a public vote that decided it as well. They just reported it...crazy i know
@alterbridgemuse it was a great show! the crowd's singing was almost as loud as the band, haha. even myles said "fuck the rest of the tour, we'll just stay here for the next three weeks!"
Masterpiece. This band is so underrated. I grew up a Creed fan but I love to listen to pure good music. I don't really disect every song and say how this band is better than that band and all that foolishness. I sit back and enjoy wonderfully put together songs like this. :)
@Yabooi888 the song is 8+ minutes long. but surprisingly, it is never boring. it has emotions, passion, and just pure talent. i love Creed too, you can never go wrong by liking them. this also is for my Grandparents, i love you guys....
this is like their nothing else matters, their bohemian rhapsody, their tears in heaven, their smoke on the water, their stairway to heaven. however you want to put it: THIS IS FUCKING AWESOME!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
If i get this worked up and pumped from watching of video of the show, just imagine what if wouldve been like to be there....whew amazing talent here, myles has got to be the freddie mercury of our day.
This is a fantastic song. I've got it playing in my head all the time now...
