Virgil in my humble opinion is one of the greatest musicians of his generation.

[@2204JCM]

The drum groove at the beginning is killer alone. So many incredible things going on from everyone on this tune. You have to listen to different parts each time to catch it all.

[@appyandy]

Agreed

[@monacoGTR]

How modern rock should sound

[@zarwarrior]

Chris Clarke keyboard solo is AMAZING!!!

[@planetpjr]

Iron man face of steel....

[@VictorGonzalez-gk1nr]

How many times can I press the Like button???? Holy mother....

[@robertlouisstevenson8305]

Thanks god for Virgil not joining DT

[@newvultraz]

I think VIrgil has improved his skills in both composition and drumming technique 10x since he auditioned for DT... can't imagine a world without this stuff now.

[@tomb5219]

​@@newvultraz "VIrgil has improved his skills"... he was already a beast on drums and a great composer at this time. Fortunately Virgil didn't join DT. They make the same thing again and again since the last 10 years, creativity is gone.

[@LeoJusten2012]

Que orgullho do Andre e do Braguinha, bicho! Que sonzeira!

[@marcoantoniodefreitasramal4429]

Os dois estão soberbos, cara! Musicalidade incrível! Que nível! Pô, tocando ao lado de uma lenda...o rei dos pivôs! É o Virgil Donati, véi! Cara, muito bom ver músicos jovens e tão talentosos representando o Brasil! Parabéns para ambos!

[@newvultraz]

Real dynamics in a rock song... not crescendo all the way to the end, not just loud and soft sections. Also beautiful control of timbre in the vocals. Echoing Holdsworth in the keyboard--extraordinary.

[@wtfhb07]

For a minute, I thought Rick Beato was singing... Sounds great, as always!

[@weirdtv9947]

ahaha yes ) ! Rick Beato looks like

[@zeantunes7361]

😂🤣😂

[@christopherlandry5712]

I almost thought it was Rick beato and 2003 john petrucci 😂

[@BobSierra]

Hahaha

[@murrayrowley2900]

Wow, a keyboardist doing solos like Allan Holdsworth!

[@ricibatera]

Amazing band. Fantastic Singer.

[@kingjb99]

That’s Irwin Thomas , aka Jack Jones. What a voice hey?? Unbelievable

[@AJDOLDCHANNELARCHIVE]

Awesome keyboard solo, very Holdsworth-ian tone.

[@dumpygoodness4086]

RIGHT??!!! I was like, that's the BEST AH solo maybe i've ever heard! (I thought it was the guitarist and then looked up!)

[@deepgray4338]

Just a killer ass keyboard solo......I mean really .....really good.

[@MrThomas1958]

@@deepgray4338 ....like ALLAN on keyboards

[@sucodefruta2365]

Muito bom, como é bom ver brasileiros nível tão alto musical

[@savagiodesperados9442]

the singer is amazing !

[@78proto]

I'm a simple man. I saw the name Virgil Donati. I hit "like". Also, I preordered Ruination. 😁

[@mindseye4914]

While everyone is a mindboggling genius I feel the real MVP here is the vocalist. How the fuck can one even sing on such complex, constant key signature shifts?!?! Holy shit this song was insane!

[@kaptainkrunch3486]

Irwin Thomas aka Jack Jones is an amazing singer and also killer guitarist. He was also in a band with Virgil in the 90s in Australia called Southern Sons. He was also John Farnham's backup vocalist when was only like 19-20.

[@andysalter7192]

The mighty Jack Jones on vocals !

[@Gigler43]

THIS IS “PROGUSION!” The new genre for 2020!

[@dumpygoodness4086]

my favorite new genre for this next decade is "Stoner Prog" (!) (it means SLOPPY, MESSY, wild prog!) -- you get all the artsiness and innovations of art-rock... without ANY of the over-rehearsed-ness of most prog. (Plus, almost all stoner prog bands are improvised! All high-wire stuff.) (Even the metal bands in that genre are improv!!) In fact, I might argue stoner prog is the best genre ever, quantifiably, b/c it has very high (ba dump bump) standards. ex: you can't be in the genre unless your band has a GREAT band name (b/c originality, smarts, balls, wit, etc, are PREREQUISITES of the genre!). You can't dress ordinary. Can't have an ordinary stage name. Most use fretless basses, to MELT the music more! And so on. Too many great ones to list, from the surf-prog (!) of Dick Flaccid & The Viagra-nauts (!!) to the uke-shredder-led power trio JERUSALEM WITCH (get it?) to the scuz-pop sounds of THE SILVER ASSHOLES -- another rule of the genre is you can not copycat. THE PROBLEM is another rule of the genre is to hate social media. They just throw house party shows and fun stuff like that, and have no ambitions to get rich. FUCK!

[@PierreVilleneuve88]

Progusion or Fusessif?

[@reubennb2859]

Frog rock

[@phenbuz]

Absurd musicality. Amazing song...Wonderful arrangements...and I'm still speechless. Monster Virgil Donati.

[@AJDOLDCHANNELARCHIVE]

Tears to my eyes and energy to my spirit. Beautiful.

[@alberthand1]

Just Wow. Chris Clarke of Brand X is killing it!

[@alberthand1]

It sounds a lot like an Allan Holdsworth guitar solo!

[@sofias_world5320]

these are real musicians, Virgil always a genius

[@theguitarprodotcomdotau]

Absolutely brilliant! Irwin/Jack's voice is still stunningly good!

[@RobertBeatty]

Folks, this album Ruination is a masterpiece. Get it!

[@tinakotthaus9673]

Unglaublich gute Band,da fällt mir nix besseres zu ein.

[@roldoedel259]

Speechless. Out of this world.

[@olivierjung913]

Mr Donati , one Word, wau !

[@keytronek]

Allan would be proud. Magnificent playing!

[@MrThomas1958]

right words

[@YAS6931]

Another level ....Virgil is an amazing composer

[@MrPieromanna]

When God explained how to excite humans by sounds,rhytm,harmony and words....defenitively album of the millennium...thanks for this precious gift

[@deepgray4338]

With Alan gone, Virgil has filled that lost....with flying colors.....thanks Virgil for you "glowing in the mystery of your music"...................you are the best I can find.

[@chrislestermusic]

Irwin Thomas is a great guitarist also. Talented guy.

[@VirtuosicFantasies]

Ultra High Level 10/10

[@homeownershipwreck6080]

Irwin should be an international superstar. His voice is still amazing.

[@jacquesprevert1902]

Just a pinch of Mr. Allan in this song ;)

[@twowongs8266]

And..... Ladies & Gentlemen.....it keeps getting better. Thanks Virgil for never letting us down.

[@JakeHowsamLowe]

Virg still putting out the most interesting and forward thinking prog, this is so sick.

[@dumpygoodness4086]

i don't like ANY modern prog (well, maybe SHINING [they do "black jazz"!!] from Finland? and FOUR STROKE BARON)...(I like some of Sons Of Appollo too) ... but THIS IS REALLY GOOD. They got it all... EXCEPT any visual style, which matters, b/c we like a band that LOOKS LIKE A TEAM.

[@davehenry01]

So glad he's got back with Jack. The album is absolutely killer. Exceptional is an understatement.

[@reesemartin8729]

Just bad ass!!!!!

[@rodolfonascimentodeoliveir252]

Braguinha e Nieri representando. A cada dia colocando o nome entre os melhores do mundo

[@tharlisonferreira1760]

Com certeza mano, os caras são animal demais também

[@juanpablotorresmuniz5123]

AMAZING!

[@FusionHowie]

THE most perfect song! WARNING ! Holdsworth like Eargasm shortly after the 5:38 mark on keys ! THANK YOU Virgil !!!!

[@joe102769]

That's my Favorite keyboard solo ever!

[@LeoJusten2012]

This is a damm masterpiece.

[@KevinOnKeys]

Hot damn! This is really cool! Chris Clarke is my spirit animal.

[@vforvendettaable]

great music

[@glennf3914]

Virgil is a monster.

[@mrdeeppurple2705]

Very nice...!!! Vocal, guitar solo, KEYBOARD SOLO...!!!

[@jamcorjeff1]

Creativity at it's absolute finest. No time wasted.

[@chadrew6]

beautiful! 5/4 then 4/4 in chorus

[@Chetrospective]

Super band of 2019!!! The Bassman is not a human.

[@aujay]

No of course he is not human he is Brazilian ...superhuman

[@giannrubio33]

Beautiful!

[@helenpinchen4712]

Speechless.

[@aquaescapeartist4915]

I keep coming back to this song. Really great!

[@dougmorato]

Virgil, you’re a genius. Such a flawless and stunning work this album is. Everything is perfect, from the tones, to creativity, to the tracks with voice.... impressive. I’m so glad you brought Nieri and Braguinha as your ground. They’re rarities and so unique, with that touch of Latin music you can’t get anywhere else. I just can’t stop listening to this album. Thanks man, for always bringing us the ultimate in terms of art! You’re a legend and for me the best drummer of all time!!! 🙌👏👏👏

[@dumpygoodness4086]

YES, this is actually REALLY good (I hate almost all modern prog bands)...but if they got a great band name (ask me for a long list!) and an INTERESTING VISUAL LOOK, they could be HUGE.

[@Roddrummer]

This is just about song of the year!

[@gktde9874]

Holdsworth came back as a keyboarder?? Keyboard-solo = Awesome

[@MrThomas1958]

....fantastic

[@Looshbaby]

Yes, fantastic, Go Jack

[@FrancoContreras]

Really love the left hard panning of the hihat.

[@TheBlueskyson]

This is fkn brilliant. Love Irwin! Great singer and vox tone. Good to see the Doctor on keys. The song is great and band tops as you'd expect. Gr8 sound and production. This could be the next James Bond movie soundtrack theme. Top shelf boys. ty 4 music.

[@SuperDavestube]

Really love this

[@e.g.systems6146]

Wow... This popped up in my YT feed out of nowhere, so I clicked, and... HOLY F***ING SH*T this is possibly the best song I have heard in months! This guy can actually SING! The song is a beautiful construction, full of twists & turns. Then I thought, "Phhh... the guitarist will probably ruin it with one of those "how big is my c*ck" solos" but no, the guitar solo is as wonderful as the rest of it, clever, restrained, flowing, and meaningful. And this guy can sing!" SING! REALLY ACTUALLY SING!

[@VictorGonzalez-gk1nr]

Same here buddy. My new favourite song.

[@brunolr3698]

This is incredible!! Next level prog!!

[@demetriuslocks]

Mind-blowing as Alwaaaaays lol

[@hand2handtx]

Amazing!

[@LINCHDRUMS]

Good to see Irwin/Jack up front.... sounds huge!

[@regularjack2]

unlike anything i've heard before, awesome

[@joaoalvaror811]

God bless , u , all A.H. lovers !!!

[@AntunesJr]

Virgil is a fuck$#%ng monster legend. I´m not into extremely technical music, but can listen to any project that Virgil is in for milleniums and could still enjoying his music.

[@robertomodenese2067]

Excellent sound

[@alstrange6055]

Smashed it! Virgil + Irwin = Awesomeness 👏🏻👍🤟🏻😀

[@euclidesbarbosa2269]

The best album of 2019.

[@Nedwin]

I came here not only because of Virgil. But the title too which is scary enough to read. The arrangement, the clip, the whole performance, are just awesome!

[@ScoutBobrman862]

Great to see Irwin's pipes are behind the mic!! Superior and unprecedented musicianship. Both killer axes at both flanks, a smoking keyboardist with an unbelievable virtuoso drummer at the helm!! Just mesmerizing!!

[@tirusq2k]

What a beautiful song! Congrats Virgil!

[@RushianRichard]

Music for my soul...thank you!

[@darrellwells1660]

Wow!!!!!!

[@Darel9566]

Outstanding. I purchased the new CD and it's one of the best prog cd I own.

[@jeanfrank234]

Amazing!!! Maestros!!!

[@mihkelveike2034]

Piano solo is the best part off that song

[@SaschaOnBass]

Wow!!! The crescendo on the chorus, so well written and played! Fantastic, I love all of you !!! Thanx for your music!!💚💚💚

[@kerripace]

I didn't get to watch Michelangelo sculpt. Didn't get to se Da Vinci paint. Didn't get to meet Beethoven or Chopin, or have a conversation with Einstein. BUT... I got to see this man play the drums.

killed it

[@leonardomenegheti2837]

André Nieri baita guitarrista, nivel Holdsworth, Frank Gambale...braguinha, baixista do capeta, bom pra carai, cozinha sólida, toda quebrada. Orgulho desses caras, pqp

[@jeff6889]

Nieri é alien, essa música ficou perfeita, sei lá quantas vezes voltei aqui pra ouvir, seloko

[@vforvendettaable]

great song

[@76ODDY]

Much powerful!!!!!!!!

[@yaroslavmadzhuga2441]

Superb. This art is medicine for the soul. Thank you gentlemen.

[@diamondartist1991]

Finally, we got ourselves a promised work of art! Can't wait to listen the whole album! Edit: after listening the whole album... how can the entire album sound so awesome? With complex yet very melodic soulful playing and gorgeous Jack Jones vocals, this masterpiece of an album was worth of these long days of waiting!
