Steve Vai - Apollo In Color (Inviolate)

[@auralfixxation6702]

This new album should be called THE COLOUR PALETTE because there are many colours on display with these new songs. Bravo!!!

[@eastrolabio]

Wow. This suddenly remembered me old Steve songs. Beautiful

[@melozxc]

Flex-Able times

[@jackieohehir3259]

Fantastic bass playing on this....

[@lorraineb682]

I believe it's Henrik Linder (of Dirty Loops)

[@lorraineb682]

@ka yu Henrik posted it on his Instagram stories.

[@JakobStrand]

@@lorraineb682 That kind of explains it then... :D

[@JakobStrand]

And Vinnie on drums... I mean...what can go wrong? :D

[@douglasmoterani1748]

Henrik Linder is Fantastic! Totaly agree with you! Vinnie on drums too...same sound from Frank´s songs...old school I guess...hypnotizing

[@mck7646]

His tone is unreal and technique ever evolving. This is a masterpiece.

[@virtuosodm3327]

I will be anticipating the L.A. gig in December all year! The emotion in his playing and conviction makes you cry ,because of the beautiful touch he exhibits in his playing😪🙂👽🙏

[@markvador6667]

Vinnie Colaiuta on drums...This man can beat all drum machine.

[@sunchimoonchi]

Stevee . I love you Man. Im almost 40yo. My son 15yo and the 2 yo listen your new material. Just awesome man. Last time I saw you was at Hollywood hard rock casino. Generation axe. With abassi on crew. Love u man.. peace out. Long live Vai

The first time I've heard it I put it to play on repeat for about an hour.

His majesty ,explores new uncharted universe. .God bless you Maestro.

[@brandoncrow3741]

Steve just hears the world in a different way...and I love it! 👽

[@SingSkateScream]

There some really subtle, yet really unique changes and climax in this tune.. hats off again for making me feel high in the sky..

[@viciousdope66]

Can we all agree that the drumming on this track is CRAZY?!!!

[@ClintCurtis]

Bass isnt too shabby either!

[@agustinalessio]

who plays bass and drums in this track?

[@tomchannelle8386]

@@agustinalessio pretty sure it's henrik linder on bass and vinnie colaiuta on drums !

[@lorenzmuller3542]

Yup Vinnie Colaiuta. Totally gets lost in the mix unfortunately, too muddy, soft and dark.

[@Wylding756]

Such an awesome song! We all love you Steve!

[@ornleifs]

Yes !! - Love this - love the flow of the melody over the great rhythm section.

[@kentborges5114]

RIGHTEOUS !

[@Pat54guitares_Uku]

It’s very amazing mix of rock, electronics, and jazz !!

[@paguitar-zu3ok]

Vinnie!!! He has his own complete style…. but I hear little bits of Tony Williams on this track. If I can recall, Vinnie said that Williams was his favorite drummer..

Within the first minute, I thought I wanted to hear Tony Levin alongside this wonderful piece. Then I heard the bass solo intricately played. I realized I was only listening on a smartphone. To all the supporting musicians and Mr. Vai: That was wonderful!

Anytime I hear banjo music playing in the wilderness, I run. Anytime I hear Vai playing the banjo, I stay and listen.

[@joddeurter2448]

do you even know what a banjo is?

[@klacustoms]

@@joddeurter2448 Sure do. At the 0:18 to 0:21 second mark in video, I hear a banjo descending notes in the background. Really prevalent unless he's making his guitar sound like that. Also at 1:50 to 1:53 mark in video I hear a banjo as well. 3:38 to 3:41. 3:47 to 3:51. More areas as well. Banjo, what's that? Lol!

Also some Mandolin too as well.

The best thing about the Great Law of Peace is that it is already the Law of all life whether you like it or not. And that is regardless of whether you a King, a Man, an animal, an insect, a fish, bird, an amoeba or a God or a half God man or a colony or assemblage of any or all of the above. And that Law is this- no matter what, you are going to have to go back to the point you fucked up and start from there again, and if that doesn't work your going to have to go all the way back to the beginning and start all over again. If that doesn't work then your just going to have to put it aside until someone else figures it out or it is something no one will ever figure out and that's just the way it is.
