The first half of this song is amazing! The singing and riffage are top-notch. The second half is more prog and has some amazing technical chops - fun all around song!
So happy I had the pleasure of meeting you backstage in '07 once. Out of all member of DT you were the one that seems to genuinely ENJOY meeting your fans. Thank you for your kindness and talent Mike. Always a fan.
This album is amazing. Exactly what we have been waiting for. The playing style and sound we love from Portnoy, supported by a band who understands the vision and sound. Well done. Really hoping to make a show if ever near Florida!
So awesome, so fun like always to see him playing, amazing kits like usual. When I need inspiration for a drumming day I come here many times. MP Rules! 🤘🏻
On my 8th birthday my brother gave me a Metropolis Pt. 2: Scenes From A Memory CD. That album is a turning point for me. I have been playing drums since then. It's so great to see you still do this studio drumming thingy videos (or what ever i enjoy them :D) Mike. I hope the best for you and your family and your new awesome band. Keep rocking!
The Master Himself at work in his Office. Awesome !!! Mr Pornoy. Your band is Fantastic. Love Sons of Apolo. 👍👍👍👍👍. Did somebody said Progressive Rock, Progressive Rock, Progressive Rock. Yeaaaaaaaaaaaaa... Thanks again Mr. Pornoy, Thanks Son of Apolo...
Amazing work! I really missed your heavy writing :) Thanks for the inspiration over the years in all your work and now also with this band. See you at Graspop!
found the "Magic" again Mike!Simply the best drummer out there,because it's coming from the heart and not in a competition trying to play more notes per bar than anyone else...simply amazing thank you
Mike Portnoy is the best musician of all time! Hey Mike, I like all your songs, I can identify when you put your hands in the project just listening... You have a unique style, I'm your fan!
Great job Mike! My favorite drummer ever! Very much hope to see you in Pratteln with SOA in 2018. Merry Xmas and happy new year to you and your beloved.
The only bad thing about watching and hearing a drum god is the fact that he cant surpass himself. This is exactly the same god like playing we've being hearing for more than 20 years. Nice to see Mike progging again!
Mike, even if some people do not find you a great technical performer, I will always consider you are, and will love see and hear you playing and what your drum play enhances a lot all musicians who go with you ^-^
Grande Mike rimane il Re dei tempi dispari! Originale in questa nuova versione solo ma ho ancora nostalgia della vecchia formazione dei Dream! In bocca al lupo
My opinion: best song of this record. Speaking of it, this is the best record of 2017, and the highlight is Bumblefoot, with kick-ass solos. I love Guns and Roses, but the guy could not show his potential there. God Bless Sons of Apollo, amazing band!
Amazing video my master of drums!! I'm Brazilian drummer and look all of your videos about 25 years,1/4 of Century!!! Sorry for my English language more or less hehehe
Me too.haha love this DT drumming style...he is unique at it..though he is great at every known glam..rock..heavy..classic ..whatever style..he is the best at this..and he still will be!
I Don't know what hes got but He's Sure Got It!! I Take that back I know what He's Got Talent, Ability & FEEL!!! In Spades!! And there isn't a Man, Women or Beast Alive that doesn't love to Hear Mike Portnoy Play the Drums!! Everyone's Band Dreams have come true Long Live "Son's of Apollo"
In love with mikes voice hope to see some drum and voice video of winery dogs the bridge great song! & heard it live I saw the dogs in Mexico City awesome show and band can’t wait for the next album and tour! Maybe the bridge in the set list? Please!
That hooky little section that appears twice early on and once at the end is amazingly catchy to me. Let me guess, it took him 20 minutes to write the basis of the song, i get humbled anytime i listen to this mans output.
The first half of this song is amazing! The singing and riffage are top-notch. The second half is more prog and has some amazing technical chops - fun all around song!
Even after all these years, Mike is still the master of drums....and magically changing shirts
Best present for christmas Portnoy sensei!
Wow, it's like 90s dream theater with a different line up. Love it.
Indeed!
Portnoy has, in my opinion, always been the single most important member of Dream Theater. He brings so much feeling to any band he's writing with.
Metropolis III 🙂and wonderfull Jon Lordish Hammond 🤟
So happy I had the pleasure of meeting you backstage in '07 once. Out of all member of DT you were the one that seems to genuinely ENJOY meeting your fans. Thank you for your kindness and talent Mike. Always a fan.

Groovy, tasty, technical, the drums sounds perfect, still the best goddamn drummer in the world. Can't wait for the new album Mike
This album is amazing. Exactly what we have been waiting for. The playing style and sound we love from Portnoy, supported by a band who understands the vision and sound. Well done. Really hoping to make a show if ever near Florida!

Thanks Santa!!!
I'm obsessed with that phrase from 1:54 to 1:57. So tasteful :)
Esse cara é cada dia mais sinistro... muito bom
Son of Apollo is the best progressive metal band to date. This is perfection
Por siempre Mike 🙏
That hooky little section that appears twice early on and once at the end is amazingly catchy to me. Let me guess, it took him 20 minutes to write the basis of the song, i get humbled anytime i listen to this mans output.
2018 should be a good year with Portnoy back in the progressive saddle!
