Bumblefoot is such an underrated musician. The phrasing, the technique, the feel, just such a great player. Plus he’s also a phenomenal singer, he never really shows it off but he has an impressive vocal range.

Nice to see a band made up of members who genuinely look like they love playing with each other. The talent on display isn't surprising, but the chemistry is what really makes them next level.
It's so true. When you have a bunch of virtuosos that don't get along make music, you get basically robots playing. Sure it's technically perfect, but it is so soulless and boring. When musicians play together and actually have fun doing it, the listeners can actually sense it and because of it we have fun as well.

I sense a Holdsworth/U.K. influence here... last time I found that was in Trial Of Tears by DT (compare JPs solo with U.K.'s In The Dead Of Night!) - Derek played keys on there too, so might this influence be coming from him?
Yep, a definite UK influence and I totally agree on the comparison to Trial of Tears. Derek also plays some really Jobson style synth parts on at least one of the other tracks on this album (Labirynth I think). There is a definite influence there and it's a good thing :-)
CAN WE GET AN ENDORSEMENT DEAL for Ron... from a hair CONDITIONER company? I love Ron b/c he's got some very ORIGINAL ideas, like the thimble tricks. I love Derek, cuz he plays keyboards aggressively and has some great tones. And jeff is the rare singer i don't hate. He's actually great. Love billy. can't stand MP for some reason.

The guitar solo in the section starting at 3:38 is absolutely transcendent. As close to divine of anything in any genre I've ever heard. Bravo Bumblefoot and the rest of the band here ! :)
Holy sh#t 😲 I knew that Portnoy had this project, but didn't know Sheehan and Bumblefoot were here... What was this?, a Genius Convention?, my ears are still applauding 🤘😎
Can't get enough of the Sons. Met them in Toronto and was shocked with how classy they all are. Especially Billy, That man is so kind while talking to him i felt like he actually cared about what i had to say lol don't see that too often in rockstars
@@gktde9874 that 7/8 rythm section to 4/4 and back 7/8. Only portnoy and bumblefoot can pull this off. I don't see 7/ being used a lot. Money from pink floyd is the only I can think of
Interestingly, I feel like this album is definitely more progressive feeling than the newer one, MMXX. I feel like his drumming on that album is more straightforward. I could be wrong, I have only spun it once all the way through.
What a groovy jazzy kinda feel with extreme hard hitting picking technique only couple with low dirty bass tone and Mike signature drum sound deadly combination...what a riff what a song...
Fucking excellent. These guys are not just incredible in their individual capacities, they have an unheralded chemistry together especially for a high level. "Supergroup"... Incredible solo by Ron on this one...
I love this song much2 since i've heard playing somewhere when i was a bad mood..... The band line up is so tight, full of experienced...Love u 'Sons of apollo'...
I started a Playlist on my Channel called "Defying Musically" & Sons of Apollo made the list on several occasions... Thank You for helping us to FEEL THE FIRE MUSICALLY & IN OUR HEARTS ~ ONCE AGAIN!!!
JSS I am so proud of you! You stuck to what you loved and made it happen! I am honored to have had the chance to be around a true talent! Your band mates drop my jaw! You guys Kill IT!
I have been listening to Ron since bumblefoot band. Songs like dash and cuteribra, she knows were such great in that time. He was great and he is even greater now. And the best part is Mike, Billy, Soto and Sherinian r also here. All great musicians. So great.
I was a first day buyer on this album and have loved it ever since. This is a magical lineup.... but if Billy Sheehan ever decides to leave, I'm available. ;)
This is "Astonishingly" better than the last 2 DT records. He took a LOT of the magic with him when he left. I can't bear to listen to anything after "Black Clouds," I hope SOA sticks around for a long, long time!
Great video, but seeing them live for real: Wow this band has such fun on stage and it shows! Your performance in Holland was top-notch! Wish you all best of luck with the tour and future endeavours!
Great band. I like the fact that Sheehan is behaving, and not trying to walk all over the guitar like normal. He rarely fills the roll of a bassist where ever he goes, but in this case, he does.
This band is exceptional. I disliked Bumblefoot for a long time while he was in G N' R but when I heard this I became a fan and realized what a fool I had been. I was just unhappy with anyone other than slash playing lead in GUNS. Bumblefoot is one hell of an underrated guitar player and that guitar of his is awesome. Then Billy Sheehan , Derek Sherinian and Mike Portnoy and you have a formula for excellence. And Soto Is a true singer none of that auto tune nonsense here.
Ron is crazy good. He can hang no problem with the likes of Guthrie Govan, Shawn Lane or Allan Holdsworth. Easily one of the best guitarists of all time.
Same thing with me. I wasn't willing to accept him in Guns.....then I saw him in this band was like daaaaamn. But I am glad he is in SOA and out from under anyone else's shadow. I'd say the same about DJ Ashba. He's fantastic in Sixx A.M......Maybe not as amazing as Bumblefoot, but well worth listening to.
@@danimal097521 I'm totally with you, Motley Crue is actually my favorite band so anything associated, related or pertaining to I listen to and love. Sixx A.M. is great. But yep Bumblefoot is just phenomenal.
Os Karas conseguiram se unir em um trabalho fenomenal, Jeff Scott Soto, Ja curto desde o Talisman, Billy Sheehan, um revolucionario do bass, aí entra o kara do Prog, Portinoy, sem duvida, mto animal.
Might as well make music videos for the rest of the album. Already got 4, why not finish it off? Lol. I'm glad I've already seen these guys twice live. Killer shows.

Just jaw dropping. That guitar work by Ron went to my soul.
This is what modern music is SUPPOSED to sound like! Just fucking phenomenal!

we need to get SOA to binge listen to MAGMA!
(Even their current live shows have been impossibly great 40 years later!)
Also mike!!
Bumblefoot is a monster! It's not for everyone to compose this shredded solo and still sounds awesome!
Double bass, double guitar double kick, double keyboard, double awesome
And doublee drummer !!
Okay, the vocal combination of Soto and Bumblefoot at 6:07 is amazing! Enough to give a girl chills! I love this band! Hope to see them one day!
Best guitar solo of the decade
It's awesome to see Mike playing with Derek Sherinian again.
Loved me some winery dogs
@@bumblegaming1747 fnckckkk kfkorotqoaoo
Dino Spumoni Exactly. There’s a lot of chemistry between the two.
Shows you what can happen when you keep up your contact info in your phone......or Rolodex.
Bumblefoot is just simply awesome. He plays as if his guitar is an extension of his body. His solo technique is so natural.
Ron and Jeff are amazing. Ron is the ace of the band cause he sings very well too.
This is a great song but this guitar solo is RIDICULOUS! Thank you for being awesome Bumblefoot
Bumblefoot is a monster! Does anyone else besides me hear some Alan Holdsworth influences here?
GOOD STUFF MAYNARD!!!
I've been listening to Alan by the sugestion of Edu Ardanuy, a brazilian guitar player. Check him out.
Yes, I do.
Got Satriani all over him.
Randy Fricke absolutely
Nice to see actual good new rock still exists. Hard to find these days.
Beneath this poison rage
We dance upon the grave this night
Discard humanity
We crave insanity this night
Yeah, yeah
Through this curtain call
We'll collide and fall
We're all victimized
And dehumanized
But we hold on
More than a miracle, we die for the prayin'
Hold on
The fight of our lives, the signs of the time
Bleeding we can't unbound
This new word terminates my soul, my soul
Shooting the loaded gun
Looking inside your vertigo
Hey, yeah yeah yeah
Sippin' cyanide
Bodies damnified
Too much time to hate
Reevaluate
But we hold on
More than a miracle, we die for the prayin'
Hold on
The fight of our lives, the signs of the time
If we hold on
Something has got to give,
Now hear what I'm saying
Hold on
The fight of our lives, the signs of the time
We hold on
More than a miracle, we die for the prayin'
Hold on
The fight of our lives, the signs of the time
Hold on
Something has got to give
Now hear what I'm saying
Hold on
The fight of our lives, the signs of the time

That guitar solo strikes fear into my heart
this band is the real deal, songwriting is spot on

Wow! Ron took me to another place transcending space and time with that lead break!
I didn't like it at first, but now I'm addicted. They are tight as hell!

I love the albums mastering and engineering sound especially for Mikes drums which obviously will always sound good lol
Now this is MUSIC I LIKE :) And two doubleneck guitars on stage. What could it be better?
Maybe the addition of a doublenecked keytar?
Hope see you live ... great music from great musicians!!
The chorus reminds me of some Symphony X. Great song !
Sons of apollo please create dvd live in concert version
Wow....that was simply amazing!
Bloody love this band if it wasn't for TH-cam playing random tracks I would never of found them 👌👌🤘
