  1. This is from Loudwire and Mike Portnoy and I promise, it really is in honor of Neil. (See article below.) It had me laughing out loud (which felt good after the past month.) http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kkbRq69kJ7g From Loudwire- "Portnoy, a huge Rush fan, starts off with a couple of easy ones, rocking out to "YYZ" and "The Spirit of Radio." After a bit of meditation, the drummer returns and decides to make the segment a "name that tune," specifically calling out his Sons of Apollo bandmate Bumblefoot. See how well you do on Portnoy's Rush "name that tune" challenge. While the tiny kit was all in good fun, the loss of Rush's Neil Peart is something that truly resonates with Portnoy, who decided this segment should be used for a good cause. “Losing Neil has been truly devastating and heartbreaking and I don’t want to make light out of that. To get serious for a moment, we are going to auction this off. I’m gonna sign it and the proceeds for this are going to go toward brain cancer research. I just wanted to say, Neil, rest in peace. You’ll always be my hero and I love you. Thank you for everything.” To place a bid on the signed kit, click here. All proceeds will go toward the American Brain Tumor Association."

  2. Sons Of Apollo have announced the release of their second album, MMXX. The album (pronounced '20/20') is the follow-up to debut Psychotic Symphony, and will be released on January 17. The album will be released as a standard CD package, as a limited edition 2 CD set – including instrumental mixes and a cappella excerpts – and as a double vinyl plus CD package, and on all digital formats. The band, in which drummer Mike Portnoy and keyboardist Derek Sherinian are joined by Ron "Bumblefoot" Thal, Billy Sheehan and Jeff Scott Soto, have also announced a European tour for March, in addition to the already-announced run of North American dates in January. New dates below. "Stylistically, we have followed the same path as the debut, says drummer Portnoy. "But we feel that it has come out stronger, simply because we know one another better. "Psychotic Symphony was the first time the five of us had worked together, so there was bound to be an air of experimentation happening. Now, we can draw on having the experience not only of recording that album, but also of touring together a lot. And now there is clearly a lot more obvious chemistry going on.” He continues: "It took about three weeks to get all the music written. That was a very smooth process. The last time, it certainly must have felt a little weird for Bumblefoot to be writing with Derek and me, because we were strangers to him. Now, we know one another better and that helped things push along." "Because we all have our home studios, it meant everyone could record there as and when they had opportunity," adds Sherinian. "We all had the luxury of being able to take our time to get all the parts done, which was a huge help in the way the album's come out. I suppose in all, it took about eight months to record everything." Here's the track listing for "MMXX": 01. Goodbye Divinity (7:16) 02. Wither To Black (4:48) 03. Asphyxiation (5:09) 04. Desolate July (6:11) 05. King Of Delusion (8:49) 06. Fall To Ascend (5:07) 07. Resurrection Day (5:51) 08.

  3. From an article on Blabbermouth.net- "Steel drum orchestra Pan Rocks will enter the studio this fall to record its tribute to RUSH. Mike Portnoy (SONS OF APOLLO, THE WINERY DOGS, DREAM THEATER) will handle drumming duties. The bassist and guitarist will be announced in the coming weeks. . . . " . . .Pan Rocks is a 50-to-100-plus-piece steel drum orchestra founded by rock steelpannist Tracy Thornton. The RUSH recording is a follow up to the 2017 Pan Rocks "Project LA", which featured the music of LED ZEPPELIN, KISS and JANE'S ADDICTION . . ." Link to the article- http://www.blabbermo...av5j-A.facebook I can't really imagine what that would sound like with Rush, but here is the previous version of Pan Rocks doing Led Zep's Immigrant Song- I'm still trying to make up my mind! It's an interesting sound but reminds me of the whole "Pickin On . . ." series where they do instrumental bluegrass versions of Led Zeppelin or whatever group. The sound is pleasant but so far removed from the original recording that it's a little strange to listen to . . :P
