Flying Colors: Inside "Shoulda Coulda Woulda"

[@Razor921]

I lost it when Mike just busts out into a drum solo. Master at work right there, people.

[@krob5375]

Steve is so serious, scientific so to speak, in his approach and his explanations, it makes the jokes that much more hilarious 😂

[@eennymo]

I love watching a song being created! These guys are all so talented, and watching them come together with their ideas is amazing.

[@metrocks4life]

Great drumming MP!

[@svogender]

I really hope for a new album from these guys..!! ❤👍

[@hectorbellosanchez]

I love Flying Colors! Come to Mexico guys!

[@TheOneMcGio]

PLEASE MAKE A SECOND ALBUM. ONE IS NOT ENOUGH! You guys give me hope for the musical world!

[@dntinpalevo]

just the notes popping up makes the video worth watching over and over again!

[@Renatospacek]

Awesome! It's great to see some "behind the scenes" stuff. See you guys out there in New York!

[@thefoosa72]

Nice SAMCRO shirt Mike!!! Best show ever!

[@JonnaDoesShuffle]

[@Mrepolite]

bought the album and really enjoy it! just enough of each person's personality comes through without over playing just to prove a point. we all know their all amazing players. but to see a different side of them is really cool! thank you guys! this coming from someone who is a huge Prog. metal fan.

[@theCharmoftheSeer]

It's such a joy to watch Mike play drums

[@undertaker3134]

Can't wait to hear about Kayla's creation. My personal favourite on the album.

[@CoreyJamesGuitars]

I hope you do more of these videos! The cd is stellar!!!

[@lobituso]

a friend come to me and say: hey take look to this album, it´s some kind oj f new project of MP. ... I said, aww, another Mp´s band, maybe it´s not interesting .,,same as always................ but, istead of it, I decide to hear it, I FALL IN LOVE WITH THIS BAND, I DON´T, KNOW HOW, BUT I FALL IN LOVE WITH THE SINGER, THE GUITAR PLAYER THE BASS GUITAR PLAYER, THE KEYBOARDIST, THE DURMMER,,,,, YOU ARE AMAZING GUYS, AND I´M SO HAPPY THAT IN THESE TIMES, YOU MAKE MUSIC WITHI THIS QUALITY,

[@1satisfiedmind]

You guys...I LOVE THIS ALBUM!

[@bonecrushe]

After listening for about a month, and (believing) I appreciate the achievements of all, I urge they should consider that there is a potential here to expand and do really brilliant and lovely music-making.... better as a whole than the sum of all things to date....

[@NickMavromatis]

awesome album guys!! I am a metal fun and came here because of Mike, but this album is awesome... :-) well done! waiting for the next one... :D

[@RockerMetal41]

Awesome behind the scenes with flying colors I have the latest cd ,you guys rock.Awesome cd.

[@ytsejam58]

MP is a beast on drums! Shoulda coulda woulda buy this album

[@turquatto]

Flying Colors has just topped the list of my most favorite "sit back and relax" bands (and I listen to a lot of Dream theater, Adrenaline Mob, Dixie Dregs and Alpha Rev)... The way the extended instrumental ends and the vocals reenter at the 7 minute or so mark of the song Infinite Fire sounds a lot like Rush and is so awesomely cool! I can't wait for your next album to come out! ~ P.S. Mike, I think you should consider making Flying Colors your main band... Just a thought :-)

[@88omair]

Steeeeeeeeeve :). KILLER riffs and tone

[@corybanter]

Somewhere after the 3:00 mark, Portnoy lets it out...He's a BEAST!

[@corybanter]

And then, again, at the end of the video. Amazing.

[@88omair]

Man his drums sound so good

[@PabloSaavedra84]

Really heavy song! I like it!

[@lobituso]

PLEASE KEEP ON MOVIN THIS WAY, LOVE FROM ARGENTINA!!!!,,, I LOVE SONG CALLED "KAYLA", IT´S AMAZING

[@Mussa19901]

[@TheDrumsticks91]

[@Dieterbe]

[@DJBillLovelace]

[@TheNeiminatoR]

[@kurt6string]

Thank you! That was fun!

[@FrictionDivisionTV]

This sounds amazing!!!

[@SalvoVecchioGuitar]

amazing album, the spot comments are very funny and...Steve can really do the whole thing with his mind!!

[@vutib]

LOVE IT !

[@Goosebottle1908]

Awesome!

[@felbohyt]

Awesome!! MOOOORE!

[@xsolitaryshellx]

Neal's caption commentary is gold. "Steve has had this guitar for over 400 years". "Mike collects drum kits... Also, sock puppets."

[@Axponi]

veeeeeery nice!

[@musonika]

amazing musicians... great voice.... Amazing Ideas... to favorites!!!... (sorry my english sucks jajaja)

[@gotmilk2345]

I really loved this album, especially this song. It's really... uh... JAMMIN'. Also, choosing Casey was a wonderful decision; his voice fit perfectly with the songs.

[@rasa1969]

Excelentee!!!

[@Ardge26]

400 YEARS!!!!! That was hilarious!

[@mattyguitar22]

ahaha Love the Captions when Steve is talking in his hotel room :D

[@mattyguitar22]

I love the captions when they guys are talking hahaha

[@thefoosa72]

good one

[@VayleGW]

this video is awesome, and funny as well XD

[@shikpan]

and thats why mike portnoy is my hero and idol!!! 3:08 !!!New FC fan here,guys!

[@lordvalgarX]

Kewl.. I did hear the album here on youtube just a couple days ago... and I did buy a copy of the CD right after... yes, please do get some better video cams with my money. I didn't realize Steve was in a new band with LaRue again. Steve and Dave always seem to have really awesome live chemistry. Thanks for letting people share your songs on youtube, otherwise I would have missed this one.

[@StarTrekGorilla]

Gotta dig the SAMCRO gear Mike is sporting

[@marmas58ink]

Reminds me of an old bit I saw on PBS, a rustic styled poet standing -somewhere around the Ken-Tenn-Va border- on a hillside at midnight out back his lighted house delivering a poem. It was full of should've and could'ves and ended "Could'a, should'a, would'a but I didn't didn't didn't." I'm pret' sure 'c-s-w' was the right order there. C-s-w makes more sense... if you think about it. :)

[@FlyingColorsMusic]

It's out since March!

[@sonsofplunder328]

im up in canada and i cant find this album in any stores! i need it

[@melodyminded]

Love this album!!! T O U R!!!! This song is really cool. I enjoyed learning it. Your killing us, we needed the solo demonstrated Steve. haha. The lyrics are interesting as well. Who wrote them and what is it about? Just thought I'd throw that out there.

[@FlyingColorsMusic]

the master is actually at 720…google does not provide a way to upgrade video content, though.

[@paulogoltara]

"He has been playing the same guitar for over 400 years" LOL

[@1satisfiedmind]

AND....I LOVE THIS VIDEO TOO!

[@firedarkphoenixgrey]

awwwww Flying Colours ¡¡¡¡

[@neilpeart311]

If there's one thing about Mike, I wish he would play more fills. He's so reserved...

[@FlyingColorsMusic]

came out in march

[@7StringSeven]

"I can see for miles." HAHAHAHAHA LOST IT!!!

[@benvizemusic]

this album is amazing, also guys just wondering will transatlantic ever be returning/touring/new album? that band was simply amazing and i would absolutely love to see you guys live!

[@Tharladyn7]

Wow... Mike except that you are an awesome drummer, you have one of the nicest sounding drum-kit! I don't know if it's the mixing, or the "micing" (microphones you use and were you place them) , or your playing and dynamics, or the drumkit, but it's awesome...!! do you make the sound yourself or someone else does it for you?? anyways it sounds awesome!!! good luck with your new band... and the other guys, you are awesome! good luck to ya all :-)

[@xGshikamaru]

6:58 lol that annotation made my day :D

[@FlyingColorsMusic]

yes, good point

[@7StringSeven]

AHAHAHAHAHA ohhhh Damn!!! ;P I guess it's a good thing i already bought the album then ;P You'll just have to make more merch that i can buy lol! On the facebook page someone from the page wrote that there'd be a full guitar DVD by Steve Morse that goes through (most or all???) of the songs? Any updates on that? I haven't been able to find anything yet :(

[@Niekpas1]

God, I really, really want to hear the original arrangement for this song. I mean, I love this version, of course, but: "The initial arrangement had a chorus that Casey and I sang together and had a pretty cool Queens Of The Stone Age vibe and then broke into a really cool breakdown section in the middle where Casey went into a bit of a Bono meets Jim Morrison spoken section". - Mike Portnoy

[@noone_really]

Mike said that Flying Colors is actually a side project for all of them

[@RoshinrajRavi]

Awesome! Please tell me this is on the Drumming Colors DVD I have just ordered!!

[@marmas58ink]

Steve Morse 7:00 "The higher i play, normally, i use the neck position, which is closer to the center of the strings. The center of the string has more of the fundamental, and the fat part of the sound, And the pick up that's closest to the edge where its vibrating gets the most harmonics." (And seems the same is basically true for picking and fretting too.)

[@TheManglerPolishDeathMetal]

MIKE !!!!

[@CostiDt]

10:32 Awesome !!

[@FlyingColorsMusic]

It was our exec producer Bill Evans.

[@emmanuelinfante]

very nice, who came up with all the text ballons?

[@MrNoahFTW]

...in GLORIOUS 360p SD!

[@maxrott341]

pls do the making of the storm

[@Ezmhakul8]

Did Mp Just did an Odd time Drum solo @ 3:11 That's Cool :D

[@nazzare79]

I hope Steve will use that riff at 1:21 for the next Deep purple studio album...I like it

[@justabaldguy]

6:42 is my favorite editor note.

[@FlyingColorsMusic]

It's Casey McPherson. Thanks!

[@legatoshred]

how is it that the one and only really bad song of this awesome album turned out to be a very good theme for this awesome video. thumbs up if u agree

[@eennymo]

is this on dvd anywhere?

[@darksideofpsy]

I WANT THIS CD IN BRAZIL!

[@BassMeister17]

Maybe it's just me, but I can hear some changes in MP's style, since he left DT. You can tell it's him playing, obviously, but there are some small things that are a welcome change.

[@Shakesbeard1]

wow

[@FlyingColorsMusic]

it's not but there is a dvd, "the making of flying colors."

[@FlyingColorsMusic]

"Labrie"? Maybe the DT singer needs a new camera, too, but we only have a "LaRue"!

[@DerekBallesty]

Could have been a Transatlantic fan Mr. DanceOfEternity!

[@nhonho23]

those notes are hilarious!

[@tuliofidel]

"He has been playing the same guitar for over 400 years" LOL Come to Brazil!!!

[@Mattieval]

That's the one. Points!

[@alexandrebento1]

why 'jamming on the ostinato' is illegal in south america??? i don't understand...

[@Dulnlop]

1:22 hey thats funny because the song is called shoulda coulda woulda and it says soulda.

[@TheNeiminatoR]

hey guys! This video deserves a 720p resolution! Or not?

[@RafikGRizkallah]

i miss MIKE :)

[@FlyingColorsMusic]

how did you know there were ferrets?

[@marleysheredder]

[@matteoienaciaffi9914]

Dave LaRue is a living metronome.

[@cfreckna]
