This reminds me of something crappy today's metal scene. There's really not a lot of "we're taking this band on tour because we like them even though they're on a different label" anymore. You'd think a lot of bands would jump at the chance to take SoA on tour with them - they come with an inbuilt audience, they're seasoned professionals, they're musicians' musicians (so they all individually have fans in those bands Mike mentioned). But the bands they're interested in opening for don't think about these things, and the folks who do haven't given them an invitation. Why should they, when there is a bunch of up-and-comers on every label who are willing to pay for an opening slot all year round for any band that's even vaguely in their wheelhouse?

The Toronto show was incredible. I haven't had this much fun in a concert in a long time. Much better than the show of the first tour. And honestly, more spontaneous than the last DT show I saw.

MP answered about that on the interview I did with him:


https://www.blabbermouth.net/news/sons-of-apollo-didnt-want-to-mess-with-its-good-chemistry-on-new-album-mmxx/

"Honestly, none of us want to be out there in clubs playing for our existing fanbase"

Wait... isn't Mike the one who said if you want more tour dates, you gotta travel to come see them? How can you expand to a wider audience if you say things like that  :lol

I'll see you there on Thursday :metal

Beers tomorrow?  I've got to see how early I can get out of work for sure, but if I can make it, I'd be down.

Also, for those who have seen the show, what time does Tony McAlpine come on?  8pm?

9pm in Toronto. His show was great, and having Aquiles Priester with him was a good strategy - he's a fan of Tony's, and it shows. The band that played before Tony is horrible, and clearly they payed for their slot on this tour. Horrible riffs, and not on par with the other players on the same bill. The only thing worth noting about their set is that they have two left handed guitar players, something I don't think I've ever seen in any other band.

There's another opening band? I didn't even know, and then SOA goes on when?  9PM Tony time seems late. But honestly works out better for me, I'll have no issue catching his full set then.

I'm down :metal With a little luck I'll be out of work at 5:30, 6pm at the latest, and then it takes me 25 minutes to get there. The website says doors at 7 and show at 8, and it sounds like the first band before Tony is worth seeing.

Somewhere said 7pm and somewhere said 8pm (stubhub where I bought the ticket vs. ticketmaster), which is why I asked... but I could have just went right to the venue's website which says 7pm doors, 8pm show subject to change.

Really awesome show last night  :metal :metal

The Portnoys were in the house, saw Mike with his wife and daughter walk in (the guy next to me ran to him and got a pic as he walked into the venue).  I just watched the family come with Dad, pretty cool.  Chatted with the guy who did the recent MP interview, nice guy.  Anyway, the band sounded awesome and Gramercy Theater holds about 500 and was pretty packed for them.  The highlights were definitely Bumblefoot's guitar playing again.  He was just so awesome.  Very fun to watch him play and he makes it look fun, plus... I think he was the better singer over JSS.  Honestly, thought JSS sounded off.  I thought maybe he was losing his voice (listening to my videos... sadly confirms he sounds a bit weak in his voice).  MP and Billy were their usual awesome selfs, having seen that due a few times with SOA and TWD, they just got the rhtyhm section down really well.  Both are fun to watch live.  Derek... I actually enjoyed him.  Yes, he has the resting bitch face, but honestly seemed just fine with "being into it".  I didn't focus on him too much, too much talent on one stage, but honestly didn't feel the negativity I had felt before from watching him.  Maybe it's also because I watched from the back?

Hung around after the show with a few guys just BSing.  Only one way in and out of that venue, so slowly they started trickling out. 

Tony MacAlpine:


Billy Sheehan:


Bumblefoot:


Also got a pick from Ron  :metal JSS came out and maybe it was his manager or something told everyone he needs to save his voice and wanted to just go to the bus.  So I said thanks and he said you're welcome.... and Derek literally ran out and away before anyone could talk to him  :rollin  I didn't see MP, unless he was there until after 1:30am.  Great night for sure

So some videos:

Sons of Apollo - Desolate July (dedicated to David Z and Kobe Bryant) Live @ Gramercy Theater NYC

Sons of Apollo - Wither to Black Live @ Gramercy Theater NYC

Sons of Apollo - Burn (with Tony MacAlpine) Live @ Gramercy Theater NYC

awesome nice to hang with Axeman again, another concert in the books.  I'll have a my full video up later tonight after I get home from work.

Bummer about Jeff's voice.

Even though I've kind of defended Derek's stage presence, its lame of him to not stay and chat and take a few pics. I guess no one is entitled to it, but you would think he'd put more effort into making a good impression since the band hasn't had as much success as I think everyone expected. Just going with what everyone else said about other interactions, is he even into this?

Obviously there are countless stories of Mike hanging around after the shows with fans, but over the past three, four years, I've seen Mike about six or seven times, and almost every time he's hung in the venue for a LONG time after the show.   At the SOA show I saw on the last tour, several of us hung for quite a while after the show, and at one point the bouncer - who was the son of one of the people hanging, so I don't think they were running "interference" - said "they look like they're going to be there a while" (and because he was working, he wasn't thrilled with that). 

NYC is by far the best for that "sidewalk meet".  I got to hang with Gary Barden and chat for two cigarettes, and he was an exceedingly nice guy.

As much as Mike is known for spending time with the fans, I wouldn't expect him to if his family were at a show.

Honestly, I don't expect any of them to come chat or take pics or do anything besides hit the tour bus.  I'm not entitled to that at all, especially when people pay for meet and greets.  However, it does make difference in terms of winning people over to make an effort to be nice.  Billy honestly didn't seem like he wanted to take pics.  He came out, asked us all to hold on and went to the bus real quick and then kind of asked everyone who wanted a pic to come get one quickly.  He was nice about it, very business like from him and even that is awesome.  Like I said, he doesn't have to do that, and even not wanting to, putting the effort makes a big difference.  I really respect him. 

Also, there wasn't many of us.  Maybe 6 or so.  It was super late and rainy and cold.  Ron was sweet though, with his wife and child.  He's such a super nice guy, I really like him a lot as a musician and person.

You make nice points cramx3. I too have your approach, if I meet someone's all for the better, but if I can't, it's not that I consider them entitled assholes. I paid for the show, the chance to chat and / or take a picture is a bonus, I'll never hold a band member responsible for avoiding a crowd, everyone has the right to have a moody day, feeling tired, needing to rest (especially the singer) or whatever.

About "People paid for meet n' greet"... I'm torn about that. It's a revenue, it's an exchange - the band needs support and money and they give you something in return. Do you really need the 37th black shirt with a logo on the front? no, but it's a trade, you shell out some cash, you have a band shirt. Same with the meet n' greet, I don't think bands who do it think of themselves are people worth money to be met - it's once again a trade, you give them money, instead of giving you a shirt they give you some of their time, a guaranteed occasion to say Hi, and a professional photo (or whatever the package entitles).

When I saw Halestorm they did have a meet n' greet, yet I waited around after the show, and they all came out and I took pictures with all of them, heck, I actually kissed Lzzy Hale  ;D on the cheeck, but I did kiss her. For free. While people paid to stand in line and being instructed by the tour manager "One item only, don't shake the hand of the drummer too hard" or whatever.

Anyway, as you said, in the age of social media and selfies let's all remember that meeting the band after the show is a bonus and not an obligation. I'm just happy I basically met anyone I wanted to, and that only the size of the venue sometimes prevented it. I can't remember ever being shunned away on purpouse by a musician.

Actually all I wanted was a pic of her pretending to kiss me, with her lips near my cheek, but as usual my nervousness got the best of me and all I could say was "Can I get a kiss?", to which she tapped her cheek with the finger in a "go for it" gesture, and so  I did kiss her  :biggrin:

Sorry for having given the impression that I launched forward against her as soon as she came out of the venue kissing her before she had a chance to understand what was going on  :D

I kind of thought Bosk was joking, you didn't write that out in a creepy way IMO, but also I believe I've read your story on this forum before but that's so damn awesome.  Also I know little about Lzzy, but she definitely comes off as a cool person that would totally be fine with that (obviously she was). 

Anyway, didn't finish this until late last night, but here's my full video from the NYC show, over an hour of music (audio and video came out excellent  :yarr )

Got my media book today and wasn't expecting much based on all of the comments. Well, I have almost one listen under my belt and this thing is head and shoulders above the debut. The riffage is there, the songs sound great. I'm really enjoying this record.

I also noticed that the instrumental mixes seem to be slightly different. I did some comparisons and the instrument separation and crispness seem much better on them, at least the 2 I checked out. I usually don't enjoy instrumental versions of lyrical songs but these seem to hold up rather well.

All in all, very satisfied so far.

Shit, I'm not a hugger and a lot of my board-gaming friends (both genders) are, so sure, let's hug, how can I decline.

Also I think I'll go to that SoA show we're getting in March. Not a fan of the band's music but I'm sure I'll find ways to make it fun.

This first band is Soen very cool swingy jazz fusion kinda stuff.

From JSS Facebook:
“ And that's a wrap...for now! Two weeks off to recharge and we take this over to Europe next! Thanks to the greatest band in the land, Sons Of Apollo, our faithful crew, all the local promoters/venues/staff and most of all, everyone who came out in numbers to see us, we surpassed all expectations and that only means you're not getting rid of us anytime soon!! ...”

The NYC show was packed.  It was about 1/4 the size of the venue they played last time in NYC, but packed none the less is a good thing.  Also, from a few people I spoke to at the show, it was their first time seeing them.

Anyway, coolest thing happened over the weekend.  I posted some videos/pics on my instagram and Bumblefoot not only liked it, but followed me.  Maybe it's because that's the second selfie together he's liked on my instagram.
