Would still love to see Sons of Apollo, I recently listened to their album and I still like it, some really solid and accesible prog metal. Nothing original and I agree with the common criticisms, but a good effort. I think that a second album that adresses some of the issues could be ace.
Personally don't care that Derek is a dick or not. I like his work as a musician from what I have heard and I love the body of work of the other artists involved in the band.
