His voice, like a silk on your ears.

Hello everybody,

Today I will talk about a band that I really like. The name of the band is Alter Bridge and it is composed by four members, one of them (and the one I like) is Myles Kennedy. He is the vocalist of this band and also, he's the only one who was a member of other band before they created this one, the other three were part of a band called Creed.
I really don't remember how I got to listen to them, but I knew that in the first moment I heard them I was caught by the music they created.
The voice of Myles is so soft and strong at the same time that it gives him the possibility to impress the audience.
They haven't visited the country, but once, Myles came with Slash (the ex-guitarist of Guns and Roses) on April 2010, to sing and play with him. They played at "Teatro Caupolican", and I went to see them and hear their music. His voice sounds awesome and I was really happy that night, screaming and singing out loud.
Alter Bridge, as a band, has composed 3 albums- "One day remains", "Blackbird" and "AB III"- and now they are in the process of writing the next one that will be called "AB IV".
I´m to excited waiting for the album. 
About their music, some of their songs talks about hard feelings and the lost of someone you really care, like the song "In loving memory". It talks about the death of Mark Tremonti's mom (Guitarist and leader). That is why I like this band, because, not all the feelings we have are pretty and nice, so, we need to stand up and calm down sometimes. And what else is more relaxing than to do it with a nice song like the one they play.
Their music is a kind of rock and metal mix, but I'm not an expert judging types of music so, I'm not pretty sure. All I know it's that I love them and their music.



This is a picture of Myles (on the left) and Slash (on the right) in their concert here in Chile took with my cell phone.




This is a video of one of my favorite songs. It's calls "White Knuckles" from their album "Blackbird" and this song talks about the moments when we feel that nothing is going right and everybody around us don´t understand us so, for that reason, we have to be strong and face it all, because only the strong survive.
So, I hope you'll enjoy watching this video.
See you soon!!

This is Me

I'm Daniela Hernández, but my friends call me Dani. I was born on january 11th in Concepción, Chile and I lived there until I was 2 years-old.  Since then to now, I've lived in Santiago and studied here too, that's almost my entire life, so, I even don't remember my childhood in Concepción, I just remember the few weeks at the year that we spent on vacation in my grandparents' home with my family. 
The rainy morning days were the best part, because, we stayed at home with a comfortable fire and eating deliciuos meals prepared by my grandmother.
Perhaps I will return to my childhood town to stay in there for a while, but maybe, I'm not going to get used to that kind of calm life.
Here, in Santiago, the changes are around all the time. I studied in three different schools, being the last one, named José Abelardo Núñez, where I studied for more years and I graduated in there. Also, my parents got divorced and, with my mom, we moved to another house, being now just the four of us, my mom, my twin sister Claudia, my youngest brother Felipe and me.
Right now, with 20 years-old, studying a Bachelor degree and taking classes in the Anthropology carrer at the University of Chile, with my family living in the same house, my dad came to live with us again and I'm thinking to get a job.
I love going to concerts of my favorite bands. Recently, I went  to the concert of The Killers in the Movistar Arena where they were playing. It was fabulous and exciting, but what I really feel sorry is that a missed the Lollapalloza festival, losing the opportinity to watch Pearl Jam playing at the stageand sing with Eddie Vedder and all the fans in there.
Also, I would like to travel for many countrys and learn many languages like japanese, latin, greek, french among others. Meanwhile, to lose myself in another world, I read fantasy books of all fantastic kind.
