Regardless of what JSS likes or dislikes, he is considered to be a prog rock legend by way of his performances on the first 3 Yngwie albums.

First 2 , but yeah I agree.

I have not owned those albums since I had cassettes. But I had thought for years that he sang on Trilogy. Thank you for the correction!

From all the videos that I saw of SoA live, to me, this the best one (apparently uploaded today):

Quality wise, totally.

I'm skimming through it and JSS doesn't sound....good.

Sounded fine on Opus Maximus.

I thought he sounded fine. Yotube doesn't always due a singer justice. I've heard clips of shows I have been to and don't remember it sounding that way at all.

I think the video quality is great and the audio is good. About the performance... well, it’s good, but it’s a first show, so it’s normal to not be that great.

bosk1 · « **Reply #3645 on:** March 13, 2018, 05:09:12 PM »

He sounded fine to me. Not great. But passable. I've seen him enough time to know what he is capable of, so...

Same here. And if you watch the video of that show, he's on the verge of crying at least twice, and says it is a really emotional night. JSS will be fine. Can't wait for next month.

That reminded me of something, and I had to scan back through his FB page to confirm that his brother had died earlier that afternoon. Kudos to Jeff for doing his best that night.

Haven't watched the clip, but he sounded great at the NJ show a week or two later.

devieira73 · « **Reply #3651 on:** March 14, 2018, 04:37:10 PM »

Maybe too early to ask this, but SoA already has an idea of the musical direction for the second CD to be recorded next year? Maybe more proggier or more hard/classic rock?

Adami · « **Reply #3652 on:** March 14, 2018, 04:42:39 PM »

Are there currently any plans, perhaps for a future DVD release, to have JSS dress up as an actual Minotaur?

Yeah, tell him I'll have a double cheese with no onions.

Ask him how “making history” is working out for him...

pcs90 · « **Reply #3657 on:** March 14, 2018, 06:51:40 PM »

I'd like to know when we can expect him to begin using cheesy-ass gadgets on stage?

Ask him what song will he use the Zen Riffer.

Thanks, man! That was the one I felt most comfortable with so far, and I think it shows.

Ask whatever you want, just show up wearing an "A Dramatic Turn of Events" t-shirt.

Or make a custom shirt that says "Sacrificed Sons of Apollo"

Should confuse them enough.

Don't forget the same keyboard sounds from 20 years ago...

Savage? Savage would be asking him if he's going to do a pure solo album or something like Planet P when Sons goes on "hiatus".

I asked him when will he release his app. You'll find the answer as soon as we publish the article. It'll be later today.

An ADTOE shirt is to Portnoy what a Scenes From a Memory shirt is to Sherinian.

Rodrigo, thanks a lot for asking my question!
Cool to know that Derek and Ron are already demoing some songs/ideas and that the recording should be before the end of the year!

RodrigoAltaf · « **Reply #3673 on:** March 16, 2018, 12:13:59 PM »

No problem dude!

By the way, I spoke with Derek twice. We did a first attempt in the morning, but the call was awful and he didn't sound that engaged. He texted me in the afternoon and suggested to do it again. I only started doing this recently, and you can hear how nervous I was when talking to him. So surreal!!!!

RodrigoAltaf · « **Reply #3674 on:** March 17, 2018, 05:43:38 PM »

Guys, I will talk to Bumblefoot tomorrow. Any questions for him?
