Alter Bridge - "Broken Wings" (Demo) 

When THE DEMO sounds this good you know you've struck gold 😂

Favorite band!! Please stay together forever

In August 2004 I was 25 and working at a job where I only had a 30 minute lunch break. I drove all the way across town to Walmart to buy One Day Remains and listened to it on my way back to work. By the end of Find the Real, I was hooked. 20 years and 9 shows later, I'm still one of the biggest AB fans going. My favorite memory is being on the rail at the Tulsa Fair in 2016, and Mark put a pick directly in my hand to give to my eight year old daughter beside me. Just absolute class. I love you guys.

Happy anniversary to One Day Remains!

2004... I was 17 and living in Iran, where even listening to rock and metal music was risky. The internet was dial-up, and we had to buy overpriced 2-hour access codes just to get a 60 KB/s connection. But that slow connection was our gateway to freedom. One day, I stumbled upon AB and downloaded One Day Remains (yes, illegally). I'm so glad I did- They changed my life forever. Seen them live four times since. My first ever concert in Leipzig. Will never forget the feeling. Thank you for 20 years of music. You guys are my all-time favorite band 🤘❤

The thing I'm most proud of this band, is the fact that they have had no lineup changes

*I’m so glad this band has stood the test of time, my all-time favorite.*

When Myles goes for it, it is spectacular. His normal style is excellent, but when he goes for it, it is exceptional. And the dude kills it on the guitar. Humble and compassionate.

I was introduced to AB by my fiancé eight years ago. He died six months later. And this band has sung my life since then. Absolutely love you guys.

Myles has gotten so much better over the years, it's been a true joy to be a day 1 fan

Happy 20th anniversary “One Day Remains” the album that changed my life! 🤘

Even though you all are on tour with Creed, makes me happy that you can still put out content as Alter Bridge. Freakin loved the video. 20 years seems to fly so dang fast. Well done and God Bless!!!

The most genuine and hardest working men in the business. Glad to be a witness to all of this music for this many years. And I am sure there is more to come.

I knew Alter Bridge from the very beginning. I was at Sala Bikini in Barcelona on June 21, 2005 with only 40 people there when the doors opened. It was magical. I have always followed and admired them ever since so much and they are still in my top 10 bands.

This is incredible, Myles sounds so good, you can tell something special was brewing here with the band. Can’t believe it’s been 20 yrs

If it wasn't for these guys I wouldn't be alive thanks for saving my ass back then

Wow.... This demo is amazing.... So close to the finished track.... Awesome Happy 20 years together 🎉 My favourite band ❤

I remember hearing about this bands creation and was so excited. I had heard Myles in Mayfield and loved his voice. Then the sound of Mark playing. Kismet.

These guys have helped me through many situations with their songs. At times, I considered giving up, but when I was going through pain, my older brother introduced me to them with the song "Life Must Go On" when I was just 14 years old. Ever since, I have loved this band. Forever grateful to Alter Bridge ✊

Wild to know it’s been 20 years since this album came out!! I remember seeing the music video for “Open Your Eyes” on VH1’s Top 20 countdown and being mesmerized by the ferociousness of the song. Alter Bridge is truly one of my favorite bands and your music has gotten me through a lot in my life. Congratulations on 20 years and keep rocking!

You don't know how much you've helped me throughout my life.

Crazy to think, from that demo tape, we got all those years and amazing albums and things like the Albert Hall concert. Long live AB, long may it continue.

The parts that make up this band are amazing but it's clear from this demo together it comes something different. Something beautiful that has changed mine along with the lives of millions of others. Thank you Myles, Mark, Brian and Scott.

I grew up on Alter Bridge! The band changed my life! Thank you for so many memories 🇵🇰

This is pure gold! love to listen to this younger Myles, he used to sing with an awesome full voice. I know that he had to change his singing style to take care of his voice, and i still enjoy a lot, but back then he was something else

20 years and i never get tired of your music!

Thank you all for your positivity and art. Love ya'll.

I was only 16 and now I’m 36. All this time with you guys. Love you forever ❤

I have such incredible memories with "One Day Remains" it's an absolute classic. What a brilliant record. 20 years, where does the time go.

Favorite band of all-time cheers to 20 years

Goosebumps, every time for 20 years and counting! What an absolute masterpiece! Glad you guys found each other.

What a voice... 20 years of Alter Bridge. I can't even imagine my life without them... ♥️🆎

OMG, I love this clean guitar tone even more, than on the album! ❤🎸🔥🤘

AB is THE sweetest band I've ever met !!!! 😭 this video is precious yall🤘💖

This song sings to my soul! This is a song I can cry to, and I never cry!!

I remember listening to this song for the first time not long after graduating high school, that was a very low point in my life but I always found peace with this song specifically, back then I didn’t think my life would ever get better… Fast forward years later I’m sitting here with my 16 day old newborn babygirl and still listening to this amazing song and very thankful for my life and what god has given me. So no matter how bad it gets people keep your strength and care for the people who are in low places in life because you don’t know what they’re going through.

Waiting for the new album. Alter Bridge forever!! 🤘

Saw these guys 3 times in Toronto. Mark Tremonti signed and played my PRS Tremonti for me at the artist session of my second show. I was very verklempt.

Thank you for the 20 years of amazing music. Hopefully we still have many years of music being made together. ❤

Oh man... Even this demo, they HAD to know the future was going to be bright

I feel like he was needed, for an evolutionary thing. No bad vibes, just sometimes bands have soulmates too. Miles is on another level. 🤷🏼‍♂️🤘🏻❤

Awwww this is so cool! ❤❤❤. It’s amazing how his voice just keeps getting better to this day. All of these men are golden!

My favorite band. Have followed them since 2004 - the year I graduated from college. I remember watching the video for Open Your Eyes and Broken Wings for the first time. I still have my ODR CD booklet that I framed. Can't believe it has been 20 years. 13 live shows and counting! Thank you all - Mark, Myles, Brian, and Flip for the incredible music and memories!

I've traveled so many miles across Europe and even crossed the ocean twice just to see my favorite band and don't regret a single minute - I love AB and look forward to see you on tour again soon. But first Myles, Tim & Zia this November❤❤❤

I was in elementary school and watched them on MTV. And I just fallin' in love with their songs until now. ❤

ALTER BRIDGE ❤ sums up all my life.... you guys have no idea how many times you give me strength to keep going... 20 years and counting Thanks for all this years ❤️

Congratulations Alter Bridge on 20 amazing years and Thank you!!!!

Wow...This is why AB is one of the best band in modern era! and my favorite band of all time 🤘🤘

God, it's already been 20 years! You guys have become an integral part of my life. I went through my youth, school, university with you, and now I'm a grown, married man. I am immensely grateful to you for your creativity and endlessly thankful for the emotions you've given me-more than anyone else. That first personal meeting with you became one of the key events in my life, you know, one of those moments where people talk about life "before" and "after." I'll never forget the story behind my youtube avatar, when everyone was just coming up to take pictures, and I asked if I could take a selfie, and you said, "YES, DUDE!" I hope the world will someday become at least remotely similar to how it used to be, and we'll be able to meet again take care of yourself sincerely, your greatest russian fan =)

I had just started Junior year of high school when One Day Remains released. I had already been a fan of Creed, so I was immediately on board for Alter Bridge. I remember thinking right from the start that the singer they found has an awesome voice, and they quickly became a favorite. I played the album on repeat for so long, even would go to bed with earbuds in. Twenty years later, I'm still a fan.

An excellent 20 years. Amazing how close to the original this demo is! In my mind, it really cements how phenomenal you all are as musicians. Here's to another 20 years!

I love this so much! How blessed we’ve been to have your music in our lives for the past 2 decades. 🥹 I love Scott’s expression in one scene. It looks like he is so amazed by Myles singing and knows they will have a successful band. It’s like “holy shit this is going to be awesome!” 😄🤘Thank you all for your contribution to art, music, and our lives. 💙

look how far our boys have come 🥺 love this band so much

Here in Brazil, the first time that Alter Bridge was played was in 2024, September / October I think, on a radio station called Brasil 2000 (unfortunately, this radio station no longer exists). I still remember where I was and the impact that had on me! I went to a place here in São Paulo called Galeria do Rock (a kind of multi-story gallery in downtown São Paulo that had (has) several stores selling records, clothes and accessories focused on Rock). There, I found an imported CD by One Day Remains and bought it! I sing and play guitar (I have a PRS TREMONTI) and this album changed the 23-year-old Fabio's mind when it comes to Rock N' Roll mindset. I went to all the shows in Brazil, the last one in August 2023 here... Thank you Myles, Mark, Brian and Scott. Thank you for keeping this flame alive for all of us!

such a beautiful demo, shows how far these guys have come ❤

Happy Anniversary to the greatest band ever formed

20 years of bliss for our ears.

My favorite band ever! Number one in my heart, mind, and soul ❤️‍🔥❤️‍🔥 Your songs really fill my days since i was in junior high school. Now I am already 32 and still listening to your albums especially One Day Remains, Blackbird, and AB³. I hope one day i can meet you all guys 😭😭😭😭

My absolute favourite band, and Myles my favourite singer! 💜🇨🇦

Mesmerizing. Love the slower pace too. Myles' voice is so haunting here.

The world needs more behind the scenes content of you guys!

This is the voice I fell in love with almost 20 years ago! Have been my favorite band ever since and for always. Thanks, guys.

Conheci essa canção exatos 20 anos atrás e é simplesmente o meu maior orgulho como músico poder dizer que o Alter Bridge é a minha banda favorita da vida desde então! Obrigado por tudo senhores, Deus abençoe, que venham muito e muitos anos ainda de história!

Perfect, thank you for great memories and childhood !

I feel such a strong emotional connection with this band. I was just a kid when the first album dropped, but it feels like I just saw a very important part of my own life here

I'm glad I got to see this guys during the "Black Bird" tour. They did play this song, it was an amazing night.

Discovered the band in 2008 when I accidentally listened to find the real. I remeber that it left me completely stunned. From that moment on I loved them, alter bridge is just my favourite band

Big love from Wales ❤️🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿 my most favourite band ever ❤️

I'm so thankful to have the opportunity of enjoy and share this amazing music. AB is my favorite band since 2020 and I think they're the best band of the last 20 years.

Please tour the UK again. I missed you last time and I'm longing for another UK tour ❤

This band has been my soundtrack through the hardest times in my life. Thank you for everything!

You guys literally saved my life. Thanks for everything!!!

Alter Bridge is epic! I'm 59 and it's the only newer band I've liked. Trust your fans and keep rockin.

Thus marked the beginning of one of the greatest bands of all time!

Absolutely love this!!! You’ll never find a classier bunch of guys out there. Unable to thank them fully for how much their amazing music has meant to me over the years. Thank You! 🙏🏻

One Day Remains was the first CD that I ever purchased with my own money as a kid. This song and the whole album are so crucial to my introduction to rock and heavier music.

Imagine sending out this already masterfully created song and receiving this back. They knew they struck gold with his vocal skills.

Finally some footage and clips of the making of One Day Remains. 😍🤘🔝

20 anos desse álbum que foi o start dessa banda incrível!! Ansioso para vê-los novamente aqui no Brasil!! Vida longa ao Alter Bridge \m/

Thank you for 20 years of amazing music and awesome gigs. Can't wait for the next time you're back in the UK!

Thank you so much for this gift, I’m so happy that there’s a lot of footage from their early days

Damn good song. Freaking love his voice- I’ve always loved it. One of the best out there.

Inspiring to watch the alchemy taking place as Myles joins AB. Happy 20th anniversary to four absolute legends - may you rock on for many more years 🤘❤️‍🔥

I love you guys much! Your music has always carried my days. Hope you guys never break up. This Demo is so good! Flying from South Africa to England to see you guys live for the first time ever was one of the best things I ever did. Please visit us in South Africa.

Time flies...I loved this band since the first rumors that CREED had broken up in 2003 and that they were looking for another singer...I remember being upset about the end of CREED, but extremely happy after hearing "Open Your Eyes" for the first time...I look at my CD of this album on the shelf and it seems like yesterday. 🇧🇷🇧🇷🇧🇷🇧🇷🇧🇷🇧🇷

Love there music sooo!!! They are the best together! 🥰

This was my first favorite song by y'all. I have so many... they ALL RESONATE WITH ME! ❤ Yes, stay together forever..I hope we meet in another life.. our souls anyway. And, Myles, I had the ultimate crush on you in my 30's. You are still beautiful 20 years later. If y'all are in Texas in November, come play for me for my 55th Birthday! 😉

One Day Remains is almost as old as I am. Alter Bridge is the greatest band I've ever discovered.

Such beautiful content for the fans!! Please more content like this! Thank you! 🇲🇽❤️

Wanna thank my dad for putting me on when I was younger, Happy Anniversary🎉!!

I wonder how the band reacted when they listened to Myles' demo for the first. You guys are amazing

What a moment guys! Thank you for everything AB. I wanted hear Cruel sun, Breathe and Save Me in concert =)

I love this. Happy 20th Anniversary! Thank you for such incredible music.

One Day Remains is still my favourite album ❤️ x
