Sons Of Apollo - Alive (official video)

Covid-19 is not dangerous if you listen to metal.

John Smith... original name

Out of fashion now. Covid, that is. I was after recommended sound.

[@patdonovan8368]

Portnoy definitely landed on his feet with these guys. They’re all the tops in their field of expertise. 👍😎♥️

[@Hardzinho_yay]

And the best part: Without the irritating Labrie,s voice ruining everything.

[@klauslohrer705]

I would like to agree, but compared to Petrucci, Bumblefoot got maybe half qualification. Don`t get me wrong! He is a real good player, but the song structures are much more simple, compared to Dream Theater and if you take a look at the concert, when they played Lines in the sand, Bumblefoot failed completely. The rest of the band is superb...

[@Hardzinho_yay]

@@klauslohrer705 I kind of agree that petrucci is abetter guitar player than Bumblefeet, but at the same time I feel like Petrucci's new work is more of the same. He already showed us what he got.

[@CellorLidek-m1i]

Lucky, Portnoy!

[@diogolopes8486]

@@klauslohrer705 Bumblefoot is very very better than Petrucci... he has more versatility

[@Nandoasantos]

Extremely happy to see JSS reach a new ground of visibility in his carrer. He's a great frontman, with a fantastic carrer.

[@porcodiomede1094]

Fernando Santos he reminds me of Daron Malakian

[@JeanPinto.]

Agree

[@PieterDaniell]

He's amazing!

[@TomMcMahonMUSIC]

He really does deserve the exposure more. And this band is really firing on all cylinders now.

[@IggyBing]

3:15 ... Bumblefoot made that fretless guitar weep, sing and scream. No limits to what he can do, and with emotion too, not just flash. Amazing player.

[@JasonNelly2000]

Fretless is an ocean but bumblefoot can't swim in oceans he can swim just in swimming pools 🪨

[@michaelmcasey]

@@JasonNelly2000 Huh? This solo is perfect and his fretless playing is extremely nuanced.

Derek Sherinian is making rock keyboards cool again!

So true

I always chose Rudess over Derek, but this solo was a gamechanging killer solo to me. Awesome.

The band is simply unbelievable! And the Jeff's vocals is magnificent 🙌! WOW

[@philkakid5617]

I had no idea Jeff was with Journey!?

[@cuppycakeracing9635]

I JUST SAW Jeff Soto (from Sons of Apollo) & Jason Bieler (from Saigon Kick) perform this live yesterday in Tampa at the Shark tank and it was awesome! It was a tiny venue of only about 35 people, which made it a truly unique experience. Talk about upfront and person! 😎 Not only is Jeff Sotos' singing a spiritual experience... but getting to experience it like that was on a whole other level! Jeff and Jason, if by any chance either of you see this, I just wanted to say thanks again that was amazing! Mike E. Land O' Lakes, FL

[@framinal]

Bad Ass!! loved loved Saigon Kick

[@sergiosanzone958]

I saw Mike and Billy with The Winery Dogs in Berlin, my first time ever going to a big concert like that, it was my birthday, my first birthday after moving abroad for the first time...i was alone and i think it was even better, i enjoyed every second of it and of course i got emotional, i was super close to the stage and seeing a legend like Mike so close for me it was surreal.

[@illinglsu1]

Ron Thal is beyond being a master. He's a unique and rare specimen of a guitar player, an instant legend. As a player I can assure you that one does not simply cover Rom Thal.

[@Eccentrics]

SOA is the real deal. The whole record is fantastic.

[@fahadjavaid7336]

what is SOA?

[@vicenteromero8101]

[@jamesha175]

well the $12 CD that i bought new sounds overdriven & distorted as if the recording engineer was a moron. but it does sound good here.

[@MikiNoodles1984]

if you listen closely to each one of their songs you can hear influences from every band member's previous bands meaning each one of them really has something on the table and they sound really great!

I saw Sons of Apollo a week ago, Feb. 13th, in Carrboro, NC. Best $25 I've spent in months. Incredible live show! Catch them on their current tour -- you won't be disappointed.

[@rbgabor89]

Allen fields are you kidding me???? $25 for tickets?:-O noo friggin way

[@allenfields9058]

Gabor Racz - Balog That's what the prices were. I just paid $30 apiece for 6 tickets to their NYC show May 18th, and I still think that is a great deal based on the quality of the show. I'm not sure how to interpret your post -- do you think $25 is high or a good deal?

[@zendragon1624]

I absolutely love SoA BS - Been following his work since the 80's and love him - Talas, Roth, Big, Niacin, Winery MP - Ever since I found DT, I have been fan - Theater, Mob, Winery, Live in NY, TransAtlantic JSJ - My favorite Malmsteen stuff is with Jeff on it - Yngwie, Talisman, SteelDragon DS - The best DT keyboardist they had - love his solo stuff too - Theater, Platypus, Planet X B - Well, don't know much about the bumble, but he holds his own quite well here. Long Live Sons of Apollo

[@herobzzy]

don't forget that DS is also in black country communion!

[@wicheOSI]

Best keyboardist they had was Kevin Moore, but Derek is sure 2nd place :)

[@kennypayne9259]

Absolutely love this band!! I, as a musician, especially appreciate the fact that the little details in the video were done. For instance, the fact that all the instruments actually had cords plugged into them! I know its not a live video, but some of these bands do these videos and make it look real until you see the guitar player just blowing up a solo with no cord in the jack. It makes me nuts!!!! Good job guys.

[@correlhafabiof]

This is the best record of 2017 so far, every track is amazing, and I think I underestimated Bumblefoot. This guy is playing like a God, he is so good!!

Ah, man, just beautiful. This was music Jeff was perfect to sing. Each of them brings it - Mike, Derek, Billy, and especially Bumblefoot (oddly, the one person in the group I didn't know/know of...super impressed by his skill). Can not wait to see them live...Milano, 24 guigno.

Finally!! Love this band and I hear shades of dream theater which is cool and I love the whole band MUCH better than Mob... nothing against Mob but this band has the right feel for what you do Mike... have loved Jeff since Yngwie and Billy... (Duh) glad to see Derek have a band to call home... and same with Ron... NOW the world gets to see just how great he is as a guitarist and for those who are comparing SOA to dream theater... really... there is no need this is not a competition how about enjoying both bands... WELL done SOA you have a fan here looking forward to seeing you guys grow as a BAND. I really hope it's not a one an done band...

[@Boethius411]

Bumblefoot is highly underrated as a musician.

[@dandogful]

You watch were going to see more fretless guitar playing. Hes badass

[@rizalbastomi3910]

he is a master of unique melodies.. he plays the same time recording albums and live and is very characterful. kudos to ron, an unknown guitarist

[@216Numbskull]

Where's this thinking coming from that Bumblefoot is a underrated & unknown, guitarist? Seriously, that makes no sense! Ron played in Gn'R 8 years, and still currently playing with Billy Sherwood (Yes), & Carl Palmer (ELP), in the band Asia. Also rocking in SOA with JSS,Sherinian,Sheehan,Portnoy. Every single musician I named here that Bumblefoot's jamming with are the some of the greatest players in music. That's alone speaks for itself of Ron's value in music. I mean not just any guitarist can call up Carl Palmer or Billy Sheehan, and say let's jam? C'mon Man! Who cares what some YTer critic said or doesn't mention him like they do EVH, or Hendrix? Critics opinions don't mean sh!t, it's the great musicians he's plays with that speak for Ron, that are honored to jam with him. That's all that really counts? ++Peace & Rock n' Roll++ \m/(>.

Also seen Talas at the Penny Arcade in Rochester NY, Good stuff right here folks!! Check out Black Utopia from Derek S. very good CD.....everyone and their brother on that CD!!!
