..yeah, that's the issue! He's so proficient that I have a tendency to gravitate toward bass players that noodle around the root note with just enough feel and funk to keep it real. Billy is a bass God. But I'd rather groove with the angels.
Soto's vocal sounds killer with this band!!!! Looking forward to the new CD and tour - definitely will be worth seeing live with a stage full of talent!!!
Chris Steberl Jeff Scott Soto been an underated heavy rock singer, I'm so glad he finally working with Major League Musicians..thanks Mike Portnoy and Derek Sherinian for putting this Great Project together!
AWESOME! I felt like I was invited to a very special recording of the BEST musicians of each instrument, getting it done in ONE SHOT! So MUCH talent in one room it's outrageous!
Many times when a "supergroup" of master musicians form a band, it doesn't always work . . . this one does. Great songs and great musicians, actually imho the best rock musicians right now; wow what a combo. I was thinking this is just the first album and they'll only get better and gel more over time; I hope they stay together and keep going because the potential is limitless. Love this band!
I'm 66 and I get so mad when people in my generation say music will never be as good as in the 70's. They just need to get out of their social media echo chambers and find stuff like this.
Yea awesome stuff! I wonder why they mixed him so low in the verse & chorus though. Those keyboard parts in intro & bridge are awesome, but he could get even more space :D
Nice to see that over the top lead keyboard work that he perfected with Planet X back. Love his playing in Black Country Communion,but it is definitely more subdued.Also love the analog synths.
there is new music being made...new bands will never be rock starts like the old cats...new music can be good too...I love Periphery, worth checking them out.
These guys sound great! Check out KXM's second release: th-cam.com/video/R9jEK9QZJ2Q/w-d-xo.html. Also, Deep Purple has put out a new album....half a century, and they're still rockin' Hard! George Lynch just released a brand new Lynch Mob. And if you're into it, you have new bands on the Prog Rock scene like "Octavision": th-cam.com/video/_z-ZrQPfY5o/w-d-xo.html and Nova Collective: th-cam.com/video/HwPe5jVYKe4/w-d-xo.html ..... the awesome Mastodon has some new shit out: th-cam.com/video/HDjKC_DjsWo/w-d-xo.html /Njoi/
You're lucky I saw your post. Here are several bands that you need to check out: Vintage Caravan, Ambush, Amorphis, Crazy Lixx, Grand Magus, PowerWolf, Sabaton, Trivium, Havok, Orden Ogan .......
Ron Thal did some things in this song that blew my mind. That thing he was doing with the volume swells and tapping sounds like a keyboard (in the coolest way possible). The fret-less work was impeccable as well. What a great player! \m/
@@thegreyman4920 ritchie blackmore deep purple "Fools" solo for example, and the technique was also used in licks of other songs. deep purple was revolutionary.
@@darkangel-ve8pn Sherinian was with Dream Theater on the Change of Seasons EP and Falling into Infinity. He's also been in other groups I can't remember offhand.
@@darkangel-ve8pn dont worry I feel the same lol. soto is from yngwie malmsteen days. sheehan is from vai. I dont know much about ron thal but I guess he was with gnr for a little bit lol
I met Ron in 2012 and he is sure thing one of the best guitarists on the planet. He is so humble that I can't resist myself to keep on praising him always. Good luck with this great band master Ron.
Ron Thal is simply one of the greatest shredders of all time. I met him 15 years ago in NC when he was still playing that swiss cheese guitar. Good god was he amazing. An innovator and brilliant player. Love you man.
Me too. So hard to find real music nowadays. Today's music just pisses me off. Love this stuff!! Goodbye Divinity off the new album is fucken awesome too.
Double neck bass, double neck guitar, double keyboard, double drums(you can make more than 2 drumsets from Protnoy's drum set) but where is the double mic?
Everything about this band and this song is BIG, but everything also has it's precise place and fits just right musically. This doesn't sound like another virtuoso supergroup, it sounds like a bunch of talented musicians who care more about the music than their egos... which is a BREATH OF FRESH AIR! If I didn't know who the musicians were, I'd just be like... I dig this new band. That's a good thing. I've seen so much hate going around about this project, but I LOVE it... More of THIS please!
That kicked ass and I can;t believe that this has been around for a couple of months! Feeling very lucky to have new music by a band that is very worthy of being described as a SuperGroup!
My goodness, Jeff Scott Soto still never ceases to amaze. Is there anything this man cannot do? I think this line-up has absolutely nailed this sound, something fresh yet tipping their hat to so many influences. Music comes first here, they are all so talented and yet nobody seems to dominate the whole thing, the very best of everything we have grown to love over the years...so awesome to have something so refreshing to listen to. Awesome!!!!
My most anticipated release in YEARS. Lineup is perfect and Soto is so underrated. The different personalities have an ebb and flow and not just a wank fest . Much respect...can't wait to see you dudes live ! Those Sherinian patches are just pure magic. 🤘🏿
This song keeps on ringing in my head every day!!!! Man , I just love this band soo much. incredible music \m/ I really can't wait to hear more new stuff \m/ keep on rockin SOA...
Offcourse I know all the musicians but never listened before, since yesterday I can't stop. Amazing band. Gonna order now the first cd, live album and pre-order the new one and wanna see them in march on tour! Whoehoe!
Ihr seid definitiv(!) die beste Band des aktuellen Universums! Wehe Ihr löst Euch wieder auf! Ich freue mich auf Live- Konzerte in Germany nach dieser "Pandemie", ich zähl auf Euch!
Every now and then something comes along to remind you straight up balls kickin' riffs are still relevant. If Deep Purple was born today, I bet this is exactly what they would sound like. Fucking beautiful
This is massive. Totaly love it. For prog. metal this is up there with the best every released. Hope people appreciate it and we will see lots more of this band.
Народ, это песня просто Космос! Такое удовольствие слушать эту группу. Прям как перезагрузка системы. Sons of Apollo Вы просто гении, очень кайфово вас слушать))))
Me agrada el sonido de la banda, la ruta melódica, la parte rítmica con el bajo bien amarrado a la batería y la voz potente que cierra el marco. Soy fan desde ahora. Saludos from Chiapas.
Wanna hear a beautiful song where everyone -including the fretless bass- gets a solo? "Omnipresent perception" by Beyond Creation. Some fantastic guitar, and bass, work in there.
Does not even sound like a "supergroup". It's just a band with very talented musicians that have a fantastic alchemy together. A true band, not just a bunch of famous musicians playing at the same time.
I love to overall Progressive Metal sound of these guys, and I love the obvious classic rock elements in their sound. Great stuff man. Singer has a cool voice as well.
So much freaking talent in this band, but there's something about Sheehan being in it that makes me think it wouldn't "work" nearly as well with anyone else. Not due to talent, but just something about his presence. He's legendary and it's awesome seeing him laying down some heavy tracks
That's a solid human-neck-to-guitar-neck ratio
Tom B and the synth piano works excellent with them as well
Came here looking for something like this. Please sir, have my like.
Nice!
Ron Bumblefoot's double neck guitar has a fretless neck wow nice
Billy Sheehan is like f*ck it, I'm sitting down, this thing weighs a ton, lol.
I wonder how come they didn't give the vocalist a second microphone.
Portnoy needs a double drum kit too, like Neal Peart.
johnafirth no, he need two drum stick for each hand..
I like that idea.
hahaha XD
Twins of Sons of Apollo?
Billy Sheehan: Old as your grandpa, rocks like a hurricane!
Tom A one of the best bassist out there
@@vascobaptista4377 check john myung
@@idlebiem7528 John Myung is good but my main gripe about him in DT is that you could barely hear him.
i remember watching him the first time in niacin. awesome!
He wants to stay good like Jones of L.Zepp.
Supergroup doesn't begin to describe the talent here. They may have redefined supergroup.
Liquid tension experiment, sons of apollo most super supergroups
Jeff's voice is fucking killer! I love it!
Ricky Helsby ok
Whenever I see Billy I know it's going to be good.
Not good, but great.
..yeah, that's the issue! He's so proficient that I have a tendency to gravitate toward bass players that noodle around the root note with just enough feel and funk to keep it real. Billy is a bass God. But I'd rather groove with the angels.
Whenever i ser mike
See*
I think Jeff Scott Soto has a painting of himself in his attic, which ages for him.
Alfonso Lucifredi agreeed! He’s such a badass!
Still a gorgeous man!
naaaah, he just follow the most healty of lifestyles : beer, some weed, girls and metal.
I understand the referrance. You are truly exordinary and out of this league of gentlemen and scholars
What a terrifically terrifying reference but it's true though
Damn! Billy Sheehan is a bass monster!!!!
Soto's vocal sounds killer with this band!!!! Looking forward to the new CD and tour - definitely will be worth seeing live with a stage full of talent!!!
Chris Steberl Jeff Scott Soto been an underated heavy rock singer, I'm so glad he finally working with Major League Musicians..thanks Mike Portnoy and Derek Sherinian for putting this Great Project together!
Yes he is! He's come a long way from the Pacoima days; he knew a lot of my buddies in the day. So proud of our local boy!!
AWESOME! I felt like I was invited to a very special recording of the BEST musicians of each instrument, getting it done in ONE SHOT! So MUCH talent in one room it's outrageous!

60 and I still love this hard driving high energy rock and roll!
your 60 or are they LOL
both
This is old school hard rock as it should be played.
this is what I want playing when I go to Hospice.... In 20 years.
You're never too old to Rock n Roll
I'm 66 and I get so mad when people in my generation say music will never be as good as in the 70's. They just need to get out of their social media echo chambers and find stuff like this.
Sherinian's sound is really great!
Diego A. Arcis When was his sound not great? One of the most rocking keyboardists out there.
Yea awesome stuff! I wonder why they mixed him so low in the verse & chorus though. Those keyboard parts in intro & bridge are awesome, but he could get even more space :D

go to listen 'falling to infinity'
@@topdog91 One of the best keyboard player of the last 30+ years... But all these artists are high-leveled...

Billy Sheehan is the greatest bassist of all-time! Could watch him all day long!
erivers71 Agreed. I saw the Winery Dogs a few months ago and Billy stole that show. He is the Eddie Van Halen of the bass guitar.
It's the power of Scientology that gives him that gift.
ROCK bassist of all times.
Impossible not hitting the like button right after that Sheehan bend 0:11
what's so special about it lol?
Ron Thal did some things in this song that blew my mind. That thing he was doing with the volume swells and tapping sounds like a keyboard (in the coolest way possible). The fret-less work was impeccable as well. What a great player! \m/
EVH"s Cathedral on Diver Down
He learned that from Eddie Van Halen. Adam Jones does it on the new Tool record as well.
@@thegreyman4920 EVH copied it from Ritchie Blackmore. :-P :-P
@@superblondeDotOrg I didn't know. Any song it's featured on you can point me too?

Ron Thal, Portnoy, Soto, Sherinian and Sheehan... I don't have words to describe this super band... just amazing...
DT on Steroids!
Sons Of Apollo sounds good to me :v
Only know portnoy what bands are the rest from I know I know I feel stupid as a metal head I should probably know these names
@@darkangel-ve8pn Sherinian was with Dream Theater on the Change of Seasons EP and Falling into Infinity. He's also been in other groups I can't remember offhand.

"Remember My name cause im coming home" We understand Mr Portnoy , welcome back
And don't forget Derek as well.
lol would you allow Jeff replacing James ??
@@dsestevam Hell yes. James hasn't sounded good in more than a decade.....and his attitude blows. I've met the guy. He's an ass.
I keep playing this over and over. I can't recall when I was this excited about a new record.
Same here, next step is buy the album and play it in the car. I'm coming home!
Me too. So hard to find real music nowadays. Today's music just pisses me off. Love this stuff!! Goodbye Divinity off the new album is fucken awesome too.
I’ a DT Fan. Initially I Was skeptic about Bumblefoot, but he’s a great guitarrist. One of the best I’ve seen play.
That bass man the tone is killer and guitar too!
Double neck bass, double neck guitar, double keyboard, double drums(you can make more than 2 drumsets from Protnoy's drum set) but where is the double mic?
They really missed an opportunity for true greatness.
Jeff sings like Russel Allen and screams like Ian Gillan.
Does it count for a double singer ?
But it is double bass and two mics would be cool
Two backing vocals may count but a double neck mic stand with two mics would be just good :) anyways great work from great musicians....
Needs double the songwriting.
Did anyone else notice Bumblefoot sticking the pick on his FOREHEAD to play the tapping line at the end?! Holy shit...genius! Totally using that.
I've been doing that for years.
@@pickbass1 Me too
A guitar player that I used to play with did that, too.
We would laugh about it.
Jeff Scott Soto has incredible pipes. Fantastic rock voice.
Wow, my favourite bassist and one of my fav vocalists... hell yea!!

Every single one of these guys is amazing, and this is a great song. I hope we hear lots more from them in the future.
Ron Thai bumblefoot is the man!! And Jeff Scott Soto Billy Sheen! Great to see so many great musicians! God bless the Omniverse!!
You guys just became my favorite band so far! By far!
Jeff Scott Soto just keeps getting better with age. Incredible pipes.

Very good comparison 😎

Everything I hear from these guys ROCK. It doesn't matter if it's a cover or original.
This is the perfect example of a modern rock song, absolutely fantastic stuff!!!!!
An amazing band, and Jeff Scott Soto is perfect. Well done.

Jeff's voice is sonic brutality. So much power and force to it.

Love it! Real heavy rock! And everyone gets a solo!
It's like Michael Jackson except way more metal.
Bass?
Wanna hear a beautiful song where everyone -including the fretless bass- gets a solo?
"Omnipresent perception" by Beyond Creation.
Some fantastic guitar, and bass, work in there.
@@davecrupel2817 That's death metal. I suppose it can be argued that it's a beautiful song.
Heavy rock? No hunny this is prog
Can't stop listening to this epic song
This is rock..the voice is simple but the music gives its meaning of heavy..everybody is awesome..mike portnoy is the best.
Finally some music I can sink my ears into. Epic!
Mike with this new group is a KILLER MONSTER
Does not even sound like a "supergroup". It's just a band with very talented musicians that have a fantastic alchemy together. A true band, not just a bunch of famous musicians playing at the same time.

And suddenly...
i didnt miss Petrucci inhere, and ..i dont miss Portnoy in DT anymore..
let this one count..
LOVE IT!
Winery Dogs was significantly better, but this isn't bad....
SLX GUITARMAN machine head
Precisely, sir! On point!
Fuck yeah!
I feel it too
I don't know who the 44 people are that don't like this, but whatever. This song is badass!
Super happy to see Mike Portnoy still in good shape and rockin them drums🔥❤️🔥👌
I`ve never heard of this Band before. They are fantastic! And with Billy on Bass!
