JOHN PETRUCCI Honors MIKE PORTNOY’s Late Sister With A Guitar Solo (Video)

DREAM THEATER‘s October 29th performance in Zagreb, Croatia was overshadowed by heartbreaking news. Drummer Mike Portnoy learned of his sister’s untimely death. Mike shared the news on social media, writing:  “Tonight in Zagreb Croatia was one of the hardest shows I’ve ever had to play. About 30 minutes before showtime, I received a call from my brother that my loving sister Samantha Leone…

This is song #2 from the second and final album by the progressive metal supergroup Sons of Apollo.

It released two albums:

Psychotic Symphony (2017)

MMXX (2020)

The band was formed in 2017 with:

Mike Portnoy - drums

Billy Sheehan - bass

Derek Sherinian - keyboards

Jeff Scott Soto - vocals

Ron "Bumblefoot" Thal - guitars

Mmm… Wait! Bumblefoot? (Ha ha. Err…) Was he clumsy? No. He was helping his wife study for her veterinary exams and in the process he learned about this bacterial infection. "The name went from being just the name of an album, to the name of a record label, to a band name, to eventually his name as a solo artist."

My point of interest for this song Wither to Black is that it was based on a riff written by Mr Bumblefoot - initially called Rushgarden - because it sounded like a mixture of Rush and Soundgarden.

[Yes, it does. Plus the vocals reference a 'modern day' in a line! Good to see Rush-inspired great music.]

I found this picture on my dream theater Facebook group and I just can’t stop looking at it. I love really old Dream Theater pictures and I’ve been in love with Kevin Moore and his little crop top is soooo cutesy
