These guys have been around for a few years and you may know that the 4 piece is made up of 3 humble guys from the 90's famous band "Creed" and another very humble guy name Myles Kennedy (the humbleness is probably why they get along so well lol). Along with the down to earth attitude comes some incredible talent. Alter Bridge is about to release their 3rd CD in a few months. Right now the guys are busy with different projects. Creed is now touring and Slash wanted Myles to sing on his CD and was so impressed he asked him to front his tour.

Here is a great song from Alter Bridge's last album. Someone was inspired by the song and put a very meaningful slideshow together.

One By One

Another one. Has a very cool slow building groove

Blackbird

Can you hear the Zeppelin influence? Myles did in fact jam and write songs with Jimmy Page, John Paul Jones, and Jason Bonham when it was rumored that there would be a Led Zeppelin reunion back in 2008. Myles says he had a blast collaborating and playing with his heroes.

New Way To Live

Fantastic Song!

Watch Over You

Myles with Slash back in April singing a classic

Sweet Child O'Mine

Great cover version of Leonard Cohen's Hallelujah

Hallelujah

Great Rockin tune

Open Your Eyes

Hmmm? How about a Good Slabbing or Cabbing Song?

Ties That Bind

Great tunes!! I think they are all great songs to slab or cab too. I love watching Slash play. Dan was lucky enough to see him up close at an autorium in California before they hit it big.

Its good to see Mark shicking it up and keeping his plate full, and with the same sweet guitar even (love that guitar)! I have been known to rewind his solos just to watch him play. He sure has some fast fingers. Great solo in Ties That Bind! Thanks for adding them to the jam sessions!!

Ok........back to jamming before work.

Ok, I take that back...........Hard to cab with tears in your eyes, so no "Watch Over You" while cabbing.
I'll stick to Ties That Bind for cabbing.

Hey Denise,

Just got in from cutting the grass and my rock hill and then using the weedeater to get the weeds on my boulder hill I created in front of the house. Funny thing is I have always loved stone (just the past 15 years it has been Hardscaping with boulders). Now I am delving into the small ones like I was into when I was a kid!

Awesome you are into Mark! He is such a fantastic guitarist and a rarity in that he is a rock star who still makes sure he practices at least 5 hrs a day, and it shows! Some of his good friends are well known shred guitarists and he has come such a long way with his lead playing. Despite having great technical skills, his focus over the past few years has been more on playing for what the song needs and he and Myles are into some wicked blues guitarists. My favorite guitarist growing up was George Lynch from Dokken. His melody lines were always so catchy and great even back in the "Breakin the Chains" days. Then shred came out in 1985 with Yngwie and Paul Gilbert and George listened to all the shredders and got better and better technically because of what the new guys were doing.

It's not that well known that Myles can play some wicked shred guitar and was in a few fusion bands along with rock bands like Mayfield Four. He just doesn't show off. Myles was a guitarist and guitar teacher who also sang a little. Here is clip when Myles was 19 or 20 winning some guitar contest.

Myles Jam

Denise do you like technical guitarists? If you do, I have so much stuff for you and a lot of it would be awesome to cab to!

Here is a better cabbing song:

Flatleys Crutch

This is the band Myles was in when they opened for Creed.

It's easy to see why Mark and the guys wanted Myles to front Alter Bridge. They were tired of playing in a band with a singer who showed up for work drunk sometimes and who at the time had a serious case of "God Complex Disease".

Myles had talent that was obvious, took his craft seriously, and was humble too.

Eden

I like reading the comments people make on youtube lol

Another good one

Mars Hotel

Great tunes!!
Mark is awesome, and I have always wished him the best in his career. Im thinking with Myles adding his talents there will be no stopping them now!

Good to see your getting into playing with those rocks! What would this world be without them?

You better watch yourself though, with that kind of talk in the jam sessions section of the forum........
you might be labeled "Rockin' For Mining!"



Ha!! Better question would be whats there not to like about them? Bring em' on!

You know what I would really like to hear?...............Some of your tunes. You wouldnt have a username like GuitarC if you couldnt play now would you?
