Alter Bridge's Mark Tremonti + Myles Kennedy Play Their Favorite Riffs 

I just hope that if Loudwire still exists in 25 years, there will be a rockband sitting there and playing the riff of blackbird on this format :D

Blackbird is a overlooked modern hard rock classic. I don’t know anyone who doesn’t like that song.

If Jim Carrey and Kevin Bacon had a love child...

The moment you find out that With Arms Wide Open is Purple Rain 😂

Utter joy right here

Just finding this in 2024 !! Who still thinks Alter Bridge is the Best Band !!!

Blackbird is one of my favorite songs by alter bridge. That song is a masterpiece and the lyrics are so powerful

Just saw Myles with slash a couple days ago in Orlando and I’m gonna see him with alter bridge at the same venue in October

Imagine having Scott Stapp and Myles Kennedy as your vocalist in the two bands you’ve ever been in. What a lucky guy 😂. Tremonti is a beast.

Mark Tremonti playing "With Arms Wide Open" and Myles like: 🤔

So Myles wrote that heavy ass riff in Wouldnt you Rather. Never would have guessed that, but thats awesome.

I feel like Mark wants to be all serious and cool but Myles is just being a dork as always not giving af

Two of the best guitarists around telling stories how they picked up the guitar and fell in absolute love with it Cheers to loudwire for having them

I could watch these guys noodle round for hours, they're so charismatic without even trying and down to earth. I love seeing rockstars who are musicians first. There's nothing worse than a band who get too gets wrapped up in the idea of being rockstars and forget that they went into the industry to create art. So happy that Alter Bridge never forgot this and it's why they're the best active hard rock band today.

Surprising that Myles wrote the Wouldn't you rather, had Mark's fingerprints all over it! Lovely!

Mark: This was the riff I wrote and thought "wow I can write songs." *Proceeds to play With Arms Wide Open* Me: *drowns in a flood of nostalgia*

That riff Mark wrote for Creed's song, Bullets, was heavy af... What an awesome tune.

I believe that Myles Kennedy is the best singer Slash has ever recorded with. The chemistry they have with the Conspirators is amazing.

These guys are legends, Alter Bridge is the best modern rock band imo

I absolutely love Mark Tremonti's fingerpicked riffs.

I love these guys so much they're incredibly talented and highly underrated

This duo is a national treasure!

3:14 I could listen to this all day!

What's Kevin Bacon doing playing Alter bridge songs in a wig?

I like how Mark talks about his favorite riff he wrote as a kid like we wouldn’t all know it was With Arms Wide Open 😂😂😂

Alter bridge Blackbird riff is my go-to riff whenever i pick up a guitar 🎸

i feel ashamed for just discovering this amazing guys last year cuz they make gold

*MYLES TREMONTI!!!! 🔥🤘🔥 THATS ONE HEAVY MACHINERY!!!! 🔥*

My man playing smoke on the water one string up so the video doesn't get copyrighted

Oh I hope this video is still gonna be here after 24 hours lol....Mark played 035.....0365

Tremonti looks badass, love his guitar talent, and Myles has the most amazing technical-savvy voice in the industry. Absolute insanity to combines these two.

Sanitarium is such a beautiful yet simple riff. It's one of the first riffs I play every time I pick up a guitar

Myles has a voice of the 80s while his band plays rock/metal music. That's a great combination as far as I'm concerned.

I like how Myles got angry and came up with a cool riff for the new album. Thats what it takes sometimes. Cool stuff

"People repeat the same chord progressions all the time." Country radio in a nutshell.

Imagine Tremonti and John 5 came from the same Detroit suburb and are similar in age. Mark moved away before they likely started playing. But imagine that combo in a Detroit band?!

It's about time Loudwire puts out a watchable video

While they were both jamming Rock & Roll I fully expected Myles to start wailing, "It's been a long time..." Now I hv Zeppelin ear-worm... Not complaining.😊 Love Mark & Myles! Alter Bridge is an amazing band! ❤️ Fantastic, Loudwire!

The guitar “solo”at the end of blackbird is something truly amazing that gets me . Great song!!!!! These guys rock man

When they both played blackbird I was waiting for them to do the song acoustic. That would have been awesome

Am I imagining something or Mark's voice became raspier. Kinda like he was singing to hard before recording this video

I love Kennedy's voice even when he speaks.

Awesome to hear them discuss Blackbird, separately. Easily their magnum opus and one of the best songs birthed to Rock. If you haven’t heard it yet... what are you doing with your life!?!? 🤣 😂

"AC/DC's got every AC/DC riff."

My first riff on guitar was Like a stone by Audioslave. I learned it about 8 years ago. Good times!

Watching you two sing/play 'Words darker than their wings' really is a gift...thank you.

It's funny how most people forget how heavy Creed was, Weathered album is brutal as hell.

These two are the best.

It's me or Miles looks like Jim Carrey?

Mark Tremonti is a legend one helluva guitarist

Hi I am Myles and you are watching ? -> looks to Mark like ""where the F*** are we" haha

When did Kevin Bacon join Alter Bridge?

Man, I'm so glad to hear that blackbird is one of their favorite riffs. That and words darker than their wings are 2 of my favorite songs of theirs.

Hey I got a great idea let's have them play acoustic electric into a microphone!! WTH?

it’s dimebag’s birthday.

I can't stop thinking that MK is just another Jim Carrey character

For me, AlterBridge is my go to reference for what a 12/8 bar feels with Ties That Bind

Part of me really hoped Miles would just start singing along to Blackbird. To this day, he is still my absolute favorite lead singer

Knotwire finally pays attention to another band!??

This two guys are great and excellent musicians. The Blackbird is one of my favourite songs! Keep making great music #AlterBridge

Straight up talented musicians🎸

Love these moments when they're just chilling and jamming

If there's ever a movie about Myles Kennedy I hope the role is portrayed by Jared Leto.

Please do matt tuck padge from bfmv next, would be pretty awesome

Mark Tremonti and Myles Kennedy. Just legends

does anyone know what song is Myles playing here 2:40 ?? I know that he says "lonely nights" but I can't find it!

Please upload more Alter Bridge please. Way better than the majority of videos y’all put out. Some fact or fiction with Brain Marshall and Scott Phillips would be nice

Is it just me or does Myles look like Kevin Bacon and Jared Leto got together and had a baby? 🤔😂

#MarkTremonti Your song Arms wide Open is what prepared me for my life; hats off to ya!

2:12 WELCOME TOOOOO THIS PLACE!!!! I’LL SHOW YOU EVERYYTHING!!!!!

Plays With Arms Wide Open “Something other than gibberish on the guitar”

BEST guys at Rock and Roll these past few years!

The song he said is purple rain is also, arms wide open by Creed!

Blackbird....their greatest song. My favorite Alter Bridge album.

Actually that's not how to play Smoke on the water correctly, but hey.. it's Tremonti, so fck it

I LOVE THESE GUYS SO MUCH 💖💖💖💖

Man, I'd love to have a chat with Myles... this guy is just something special. He's sometimes so weirdly funny and I love it. What a humble guy.

"hello Kitty guitar" hahha Tremonti that was so least expected lol. These guys are so beautiful I love them!

I can say that mark is really talented and his riffs definitely have emotions and feelings on it

Scrolling through my feed I thought he was Mitch Hedberg... I’ll leave now.

Holy shit this is the first time in forever I’ve seen tremonti age... damn

Watching people doing what they love doing= me smiling for 7.5min. I'm excited to hear one of their new song on Thursday (hopefully that's what Thursday is all about)

mark tremonti the best guitarist of this era tbh the king of riffs

Blackbird😍 Edit: is it just me or did anyone else listen to blackbird religiously on repeat when they first heard it?

At 1:58 I was hoping so hard that he would start singing the verse

Pretty crazy to think that they make music and their producer goes : Nah thats not good enough. To Myles Kennedy lol. Its more than just the band that puts theses great songs out there!

I love blackbird's riff as well as sanitarium. Myles is so chill. 👍

Myles would be awesome at a party, he knows them all ♥ Myles ♥

I would honestly pay the price of your average Alter Bridge concert just to watch Myles and Mark do just this. These guys are awesome.

That Black Bird riff reminded me of Providence by Tremonti 💓 ..And hints of Dust by Alter Bridge

These must be Slipknot members without the masks....sorry just going with the theme of the comments 😕

First Riff I learned is probably, Smoke on the Water. 😁

I want Blackbird acoustic right now!

Fucking love these legends

Mark Tremonti is so underrated amazing

Myles Kennedy playing Lonely nights of Bittersweet!! 🤩

Where's the rest? Way too short

Awesome🎶🎵🎸❗Hope to see them Live soon 👍🤙👊👌👏So a Great Band

Maybe they should do an Alter Bridge plays Led Zeppelin album.

Brilliant video of two great guys, so humble and talented. a real joy to listen to them
