Can't wait to give this a spin! Govan is the best!

 

[J-Dubya 777]

he's a tone monster, as well as his flawless technique!

I'm bummed that they're skipping CA on this tour, but hopefully they'll be out here around NAMM next January as they have been the past couple years. Looking forward to getting the new album, the material they previewed live this past January sounded positively killer.

Listening to it right now. It smokes....so much badass in one band!

Saw these guys in a tiny bar in KC last week, maybe about 100 people or so. Unbelievable....Marco Minnemann is soooo fast on drums. I did not take this video, and do not advocate doing so, but it's from that show...

Unbelievable....Marco Minnemann is soooo fast on drums.

All three are truly great musicians, but when I saw them in January, I had a hard time watching anything other than Marco. I was standing about 10 feet from his kit, dead center, and some of the stuff he did just left me speechless...not just his speed, but his limb independence, sense of timing, and overall creativity. And he makes it all look so easy, too, he's just on another level.

 

[AeonicSlumber]

He's a very visual drummer. That's super rare. Not alot of guys stand out like that.

 

[J-Dubya 777]

Glad you got a chance to see them, and made the effort to do so! Kudos to you for that.

This band just keeps getting better every tour.


Marco: He's got that Keith Moon look, like he's just a bout to do something bad/naughty as he he plays. He is badass! The parental advisory sticker story is true, and it's great to see them debut so high on the Billboard charts as well. IMHFO, these guys deserve it!
