Quote from: Samsara on September 27, 2017, 01:43:52 PMI'm sorta tired of seeing Billy in everything Mike doesI really don't understand this opinion - of actual bands that recorded original music, Winery Dogs is the only other MP band that Sheehan is a part of. I get that he was in PSMS - which is just a live covers band - but still, even if you count that that's far from everything. If you look at MP's albums of original music, Sheehan has only been on 2 Winery Dog albums. He wasn't in Flying Colours, Adrenaline Mob, Metal Allegiance, Neal Morse Band...

Have you noticed how MP avoided FII tracks in The Shattered Fortress shows? I'm sure he'll bring some of them back with SOA.
I for one am quite excited about this release. Have you noticed how MP avoided FII tracks in The Shattered Fortress shows? I'm sure he'll bring some of them back with SOA.
Would not mind seeing this band have some fun with a Mr. Big tune.

I'm sure he'll bring some of them back with SOA.I don't think SOA had anything to do with why they didn't play any FII tracks at the Shattered Fortress shows. Mike only chose songs he wrote the lyrics for. I think he knows there isn't a high demand for New Millenium, Just Let Me Breathe, or Burning My Soul.
My guess is, after Portnoy's comments about Shattered Fortress being the last time he'd do DT, that Sons of Apollo will likely only do their own material, and covers perhaps from bands not associated with them. While that is a bummer to a degree, if that is indeed what happens, it makes sense to me. They are trying to forge a new identity entirely. So, it makes sense NOT to play stuff from their other bands.I imagine Sons of Apollo would probably do their entire record in a headline set, and then maybe something from Deep Purple, or something along those lines.
I could see that as well, maybe instead of each member doing a song from their past each one picks a song that was influential for them or something.
Any time I see multiple necks/unnecessary things it just brings me back to the Rhapsody - Unholy Warcry video with the keyboardist standing behind 6 keyboards in the grass not even plugged into anything. It's silly, but if that's Billy's thing to have two necks, his call.

From a Mega Man Legends island jamming power metal to a Walrus listening to black metal, I like your story arc.
2. You can constructively critique anything you want, but outright bashing or personal attacks on Portnoy or Sherinian (or the other members) will not be tolerated.
Even after everything, I am still looking forward to this release.

Seems like the only physical albums I buy now are Dream Theater and JLB solo albums. I can't remember the last time I bought a CD that wasn't those.
beul ni teh efac = Lube In The Face / That has to be wrong. / EDIT: Oh, it's Blue! I'm an idiot.
Pardon the interruption, but I just had to run in and celebrate the majesty of Lube in the Face as highest moment in roulette history
Saw an interesting comment from someone on Blabbermouth under a story about the Galactic Cowboys. They said Cowboys / SOA 2018 tour. Never occurred to me, but I can absolutely see MP taking these guys back out with him. Could be a double headline since SOA only has one album of material.

Also I realized that they said JSS sounds likes "Kansas with balls", but I actually prefer the original Kansas without balls, and that Bumblefoot sounds like "Allan Holdsworth on steroids", but I actually like the original Allan Holdsworth without performance enhancement better.
I watched DS and MP talking about Signs of the Time (the only song I've heard and the only song I will hear) on Youtube, and it struck me that the genuinely seem passionate proud of the music, which I give them credit for. Also I realized that they said JSS sounds likes "Kansas with balls", but I actually prefer the original Kansas without balls, and that Bumblefoot sounds like "Allan Holdsworth on steroids", but I actually like the original Allan Holdsworth without performance enhancement better. One of my main issues with the song is the main riff itself - it's just not strong enough to build a song around. The kind of riff James Hetfield wouldn't even consider worthy of being used under a guitar solo in a B-side.
