Sailing Stone (Ft. Plini) - The Helix Nebula (Play Through)

[@BORGESALEPH78]

I ordered the transcription for this song and received a book on multivariable calculus.

[@magne14527]

didnt read any comment about this solo 3:45 its genious.

[@lucianoolivera8978]

amazing = amazon

[@zacbagids7877]

That solo is what made me love this song actually !

[@SudsRegal]

Quite possibly the highlight of a song full of highlights!

Absolutely, Stephen just had to made sure Plini was left in the dust 🤣

[@hendoggystyle]

Kinda wish I had never started listening to such epicness. Now nothing else does it for me anymore. New music please.

6 years later and I'm still craving more :/

How about you just have another Australian holiday? :P Miss you bro!

[@MrBanjoable]

whereabouts from scotland are you from, man? :0

[@GoodJorsh]

To this day still one of my favorite Plini solos. Fucking amazing solo over an amazing Helix Nebula song. Great job to Simon and all the band members 🖤 I wish I could see yall I the scene again as HN

That drummer does not get enough credits! Holy cow he knew his stuff! Of course the bassist and the guitars were amazing but that drummer, he made that song go from "Nice" to *Niiiiiiiiice*

[@sakilazenby6997]

The drummer is soooooo good his timing is exemplary

[@Chaoriz]

The rage at the end is so priceless

[@RichaadEB]

so fucking goooooooooooooooooood

[@ether2006]

hello metal video game arranger guitar man !

[@baptistewxpolpodcast3339]

Simply one of my favorite E.Ps ever ! Everything Simon Grove touches seems to turn into gold. Looking forward to some new material !

[@101stCentury]

The second solo on this is the stuff of legends.

[@DruNature]

I know i must have watched it over and over again the first time i saw this.

[@willstanbury9725]

The presence of the bass in the mix is godlike. Perfect mixing/production to go with an amazing song

[@KCYON]

The bass tone is everything i've been wanting in my life. Its beautiful :')

[@gabelube7597]

Everything in the mix is so clear, tight and heavy...I absolutely love it!

[@jakobdee3274]

I love the way the song ends. It's just so god damn powerful. I just feel a difference in my soul.

[@amore_fati]

The ending, all day

[@inkh4426]

I don't know what it is about the solo at the end but there's something so twisted and unnerving about it... I absolutely love it, one of my favorite solos (and songs in general) altogether.

[@methiumsmusic]

Everything is so superb & awesome And killer And kickass And universe

[@itwasjustajoke8019]

Stephen solo is amazing 😮

[@Hellscrap3r]

3:42 Sea of Suns chord progression :D

[@olelorenzen9063]

Holy SHIIIIT. that bass!! What is that??

[@thehelixnebulashred]

Ole Lorenzen Warmoth Custom

[@TheShrimpMan]

Warmoth body and neck man

[@WildWildWeasel]

Ole Lorenzen Seems like a custom warmoth tuned like a 6 string but without the low B. Would be like D-A-D-G-C

[@Aozora333]

+Ole Lorenzen a bass

[@mattomeara65]

+thehelixnebulashred What hardware are you using in the Warmoth bass? Saw you play on Sat night with Plini and that sound was monster!

[@Roh8n]

The future of guitar music is right here... Amazing work as always :-)

[@progfoxmusic]

Damn Plini's solos are so good.

Thought I remembered you and I was right! You uploaded the devin townsend comments. I see we have the same tastes ;)

[@onion8694]

We should all appreciate this band for their hard-ass riffs.

[@justinnorth4952]

I’m a guitarist, not a drummer. But dude I felt that at the end with the rage 😂

[@impendingdoom385]

Am I the only one that was super thankful for the outtakes at the end that show at least one of them fuckin up? I was almost starting to think they weren't human. Making metal look so fucking effortless should be a misdemeanor at the very least lol!

[@sakilazenby6997]

Please guys need more than just the EP Toooooo good!!!!

[@lukewhelandrums8762]

Steven that solo was magic man! Amazing blend of chops, phrasing and melody

[@hilgorgruppenschaaft2203]

That bass is sick, anyone know what he’s got here?

[@harshtree]

Id "like" it multiple times if it was only possible. I'm playing this song few times a day. The outro is majestic and epic and...

[@bassseb]

Amazing song and what a beautiful bass!!!

[@axelnielsen7315]

Some beautiful guitars and bass

[@MrTrueseventh]

I like that top joint of the left hand little-finger lift from 2:20 to 2:24 . Good work guys !

[@patrickrilE]

Uh, hey guys just one question. What speakers are they? And what computer and what pedals are those sitting there? And where did you get those shorts from drummer? And what guitar? What's the song at 2:38?

[@The_Kevinist]

Song at 2:38 is Darude - Sandstorm

[@kito-]

Both solos are seriously good woah

[@Ispeakbreebree]

What you did with those dissonant harmonics (I dont know any theory thats just the best way I can come up with to explain the sound I heard) in your solo was so beautiful it made my eyes water ^.^

[@davepatchen]

Meridian is fantastic. So many sophisticated musical ideas. I wish some sections were better connected/integrated melodically, but overall the writing is great and playing is off the charts. Kudos!

[@davepatchen]

I take it back--it just took a while to sink in. Super brilliant work and can't wait to check out the next release!

[@HowToVideos4U]

please please please make more music!!!

[@judgevongrudgenstein3112]

Holy moly how come i never heard of you guys. this is so beautiful and awesome

[@noir1598]

One of d best instrumentals I have ever heard, holy shit

[@trentblaser-welch9436]

Featuring Michael Santana on guitar, hahaha! Great stuff, guys! This kicks ass, and the blooper reel at the end is pretty hysterical.

[@gamerguy123123]

Qtpie. can never be unseen!

[@littleredguitars2]

i tend to forget how beautiful plinis custom boden is. he's usually using that signature of his or a standard OS (in all his live stuff anyway)

this song us freaking awesome, just like the whole EP! So stoked that you guys are back! been a fan since '08ish. Still, i would not be super happy if i was that drummer lol his kit isn't even miced up lol

[@rickydapice1734]

the bass part is so amazing, for me it's the best playtrough in the world

[@xcryanx]

Does anyone want to talk about destroying the drums with sandals on?

[@The_Kevinist]

Yo dawg, i heard you liked to talk about drummers destroying their kit with sandals on so i asked these guys to make sure the drummer had sandals on just to make sure we eventually can discuss about it So, wanna talk about it?

[@claytondenton2385]

Yeah. Does anyone know why they haven't?

[@ryanjd93]

I love this track. Ever since I head your cover of Passion Flower, I've been hooked. I see you've got transcriptions for sale for your entire EP? Any chance you'll release one for your arrangement of Passion Flower? I'd pay a lot of dollars for that. Or quid. Or whatever you Aussies use.

[@conradnel6151]

The breakdown from 2:29 gets me everytime

[@naes9999]

plini can shred to anything, this whole song was incredible, but that solo was perfect. did you write it together, or was it just a plini-esque jam solo?

[@thehelixnebulashred]

Plini's solo was all him, we gave him a spot in the song and he smashed it as always!

[@MrBorderlands123]

Beast bass tone

[@Cordarius]

That's awesome! You guys sound great!

[@LeonRFpoa]

Oh is the actual band I was like wow ya'll are killing this cover

[@jaredpowell2067]

It was awesome to see Simon with Plini at the Granada in Lawrence, KS last month! Now The Helix Nebula needs to wander over here.

[@JakeHowsamLowe]

hey at least you saw half of us!

[@jaredpowell2067]

GOOD POINT! Sorry I didn't include you in my first comment! I've been digging Meridian for a while now and never really looked into who was actually in the band! Just reinforces my point: you two need to come back to the Granada and bring the other half of the band!

[@blagojcilakov2630]

Great stuff guys!

[@protools4fools]

I love you guys. Great job awesome music. Puts me in a great clear space. Thanks!

The section starting at 2:38 is so fucking sick damn

[@Patrick_Hession98]

Heyy, you guys should totally make a Sea of Suns Playthrough

[@deo.strengthspan.project]

Awesome stuff guys! Make more videos! I'd like to see somewhat of a "rig rundown" type of video where you guys discuss your gear and effects. Especially the bass. I really like the way the bass sounds in the mix. I feel like you guys have achieved a really good balance of the bass providing support but also having the ability to be a prominent feature, which I think is a hard balance to achieve in metal.

[@NathanNewbury]

you guys are awesome!
