This is live not playback, you know the difference. His tone is amazing his technique is flawless and his passion for the art can be heard. There are a few like him, i

      I feel a little sorry for Mark Tremonti having gained him in his band only to realize that bigger things would inevitably arise for Myles, what a brilliant vocalist and to think he was only wanting to be a guitarist early in his career.

    Who will break your fall?
    Who will you blame?
    I can't go on
    And let you lose it all
    It's more than I can take
    Who'll ease your pain?
    Ease your pain
    Who is gonna save you when I'm gone?

    The song will always remain in my heart. It was given to my by the guy I once planned to spent my life with. We separated due to my drug addiction. I went back to Pa to get clean. He came back into my life 20 some years later. He was dying physically and I was trying to die. I was more than a mess. We spent the past year and a half living together. It was a lot of fun. During that time he did make this broken girl whole again. Trust me no easy task. He's back in Fl. fighting the end stages of liver failure with his doctors. I'm rebuilding my life with my children in Pa. I know he will always watch over me even as a guarding angel. Playing this song for me was greatest gift he could have left me with. Please pray for him. Headed for transplant. I don't want to loose my best friend again.

      That said, Myles' voice is just phenomenal. Really down to earth dude too, and as a guitarist he's up there too. The amount of emotion he can put into a solo is breathtaking. It's a good contrast to Mark Tremonti who can shred like no other.

      @brianbradshaw7540 Před 4 lety +3

      Glad to have you aboard! Depending on your musical taste I would highly recommend checking out Alter Bridge. Their last four albums have leaned to the heavier side, instrumentally speaking, so if you like your low bass notes and drop tuned guitars, you will enjoy them. Otherwise, songs I would definitely suggest that showcase his vocal ability, are "Open Your Eyes," "Broken Wings," "In Loving Memory," "Blackbird," "Life Must Go On," "All Ends Well," and, of course, the album version of "Watch Over You." Meanwhile, he has his solo record, Year of the Tiger which has country, folk and bluegrass elements and is a great album. And he has recorded three albums with Slash and the Conspirators, as well as lending his voice to Slash's first album on songs "Far From Cali" and the stunningly beautiful "Starlight." Some of his old band, Mayfield Four's stuff is great too. There's a lot of Myles to enjoy there.

    Myles Kennedy is one of the very best of the modern age. Just the way he beautifully falsettos the refrain at first, then belts it after the bridge is difficult to do and emotionally very powerful. This guy is so underrated and is a real singer in a genre that is now laden with half-talents that do very little with their voices beyond the most basic and boring of rock vocal styles. Love this guy.

    these are the moments I search for and find so very rare a time. To hear this song sung with such perfect delivery and such haunting emotion, damn it, It is so beautiful it truly hurts in a good way. Voices like this are so so rare. This composite truly bought out qualities in Myles voice I have never heard. What emotion. That breathy resonance, that moment he pauses to let the note linger in the air to capture you in its beauty. I'm babbling like a school girl but as I stated when first starting this comment, these are such rare moments of perfection in music: There is a river where all creativity is, it is all there and to be allowed to "fish" from its waters one has to be truly blessed. When Myles approached said river he knew he was blessed and the gratitude is easily noticeable. How do I know this? Because he was allowed to hook this monstrously beautiful tune. Not to many bring home such a catch from there. This is perfect!
