Sons Of Apollo covering Comfortably Numb by Pink Floyd
No matter what band you have on your t-shirt, if they play Comfortably Numb, you shut, listen and enjoy.
Completely agree - mesmerising to watch, such a great track played amazingly
I’m usually against anybody covering Floyd songs, but this was done very well.
@Cletus Anfernee Jackson is that why bumblefoot shits all over Gilmour?
Right on
So True!!!! National Anthem
Playing Drums, singing and fixing the in-ear monitoring at the same time. Hats Off Mr. Portnoy
Once I ate and drink while drumming. And some choir as well....
@@daevven your mother must be very proud
@@satan1168 i suppose she dont know.. I tell her tomorrow 😂
multi-tasking done to a "T"
@@edzeljereza8234 Mr Portnoy ?
You mean the one and only *Mike Portnoy* ?
You say Mike Portnoy is playing the drums, here? A WHOLE SONG all in 4/4 ?
It's *not possible* mate : Mike Portnoy cannot stand to stay in 4/4 signature more than 4 bars.
Everyone know that.
Without a doubt the best version I've seen. It included the iconic solo almost untouched, then he let himself go but always respectfull to the original. Very emotional and flawless
That's how I see it too - note for note perfect on the original solo and then adding his own spin to it.
That solo.. respectfully nailed it
That is probably the best version of that I've heard that wasn't played by David Gilmour. Bravo gents, that was bloody magnificent.
totally agree!
indeed & it was as least as good as the roger water's version i heard a couple of years ago on his last australian tour 2018

NOT
existe otra versión tan espectacular de este tema, es de la banda Australiana Brit Floyd
Cool to see Billy Sheehan and the other stars keeping up to themselves and not overplaying - it shows how much they respect Pink Floyd.
did you not hear Bumblefoots solo? lol.. it was amazing but he overplayed the shit out of that.
@@KalosPVP The rest of the band is giving plenty of room for Bumblefoot to shred as the guitar solo will always be the climax of Comfortably Numb. But you don't get to hear Portnoy doing double bass triplets or Billy Sheehan tapping at 200 BPM nor using his signature overdrive thick bass tone.
Mike Portnoy even respects Nick Mason out of all drummers
@@KalosPVP totally did, based it well to start with on DG's solo, then after that he couldn't even continue the same style to complete it. I guess you can only mimic someone else's emotions to a point, after that it becomes clear that you don't have the same feeling.
And it points to their skill and years of experience ! they played this just right ! cool calm collected and laid-back! ( perfect )👏👍✌️❤️
Absolutely the Best cover , the final a solo is powerful and well played. Impressive
Bumblefoot is phenomenal! This solo touches everyone's soul!
Absolutely true ❤
Dear Sons of Apollo, can you please thank Mr. Bumblefoot for playing the leads to perfection and to the original spirit of the song. He didn't make it crazy odd or over-the-top, just plain and simply great. I appreciated his interpretation as well as the rest of the band. Spot on gentlemen, spot on.
He didn't feel the need to sacrifice the familiar, beloved solo in order to make himself look good or anything, and that's commendable- he could easily have played totally different stuff but up to where the song would normally fade out, he did it note for note then added extra to the coda; I applaud him for his restraint and faithfulness
The guy has nothing to prove. And the ability and maturity to play a technically upgraded solo that remains in the spirit of the original.
Well he still added some of his own 7:32
@@bertsonder Yeah I think that little bit he added by the near end was unnecesary.
Did you not hear the 2nd half of the solo? Original spirit of the song replaced by crazy overplaying. It was still good, but it could have been great like the rest.
That solo can be played till the Eternity and still won’t be enough.
AMEN ! + 1000
Never is enough
That is true.
The solo of high hopes wants to know your location!
And still gives me chills every time I hear the first notes.
Gilmour says he plays the first solo note for note, and the 1st half of the 2nd solo note for note, then improvises the 2nd half of the 2nd solo, playing what he feels. That's what happened here too! It's amazing! 😍
Гениальная музыка, есть где разгуляться гениальным музыкантам!
Just love the way they don't attempt to improve on what can't be improved. They play it just as it is supposed to be played.
That’s why he melodically shredded gilmour off the planet with that solo
@@MrBiteme39 yes, he didn't try to improve the solo after the original ended. And he sure didn't improve it with that end rubbish. It would have taken talent he does not possess to extend the solo in the same style that the song required.
@@MrBiteme39 nobody puts Dave in the corner...
@@bennoakes2477 I'm not a shredder fan but I enjoyed it.
@@bennoakes2477 well everyone except you seems to agree that the end solo was pretty fucking badass
This song is more than just a music. Its a message for generations
Definitely
Sure!! A song that will last forever.. Life is out there, I'd rather face it and let it hurt than feel nothing
The song this more than just a music is. For generations is message it.
You know that it is about how Roger felt after a doctor had to inject him with a sedative before one of the shows since he was coked out of his mind and couldn’t perform, and the lyrics are basically describing the sedative-induced haziness after drug use? What message could it possibly have?
It’s a musical miracle, and has a wonderful mood, and probably the best guitar solo in the existence. I love this song, heck I even play it myself, but I wouldn’t go as far as saying it has a message for generations.
@@Alpysf Well, he talks about his childhood, and I think he is trying to get back that sense of lost wonder about the world or at least numb away the pain of it.
This is my first time hearing this band and I'm totally floored by this performance of the sweetest guitar solo ever. Ucking fawesome guys.
This is the version I always enjoy listening to. One badass band covers another. Pink Floyd has been my favorite band for almost 50 years, and Comfortably Numb is and will forever be my favorite song. I've heard a few versions, but your cover is brilliant. Ron, Billy, Mike and Derrick, you are all absolute masters at your instruments. Ron, your leads at the end bring tears of joy to my eyes. Thank you so much for this cover !
Ute u can say tat again.
Do agree with you.
Fully agree
Toi on Riki Sorsan veli..🦆
same
Mike's voice is perfect on this song
das seh ich auch so valentina !
james LaBra more perfect.
Super🐝🎶💃🏽👍
Yeah, i hope he does more vocal lines with this kind of style.
Jeff Scott is better
Amazing solo from Ron. One of the best players alive and so under recognized. Respected the great melodic phrases and then added his crazyness at the perfect time.
Yep Mike truly found another Petrucci in Thal. I digged him in Guns N' Roses but his talent was a little wasted in a glam rock band. Fantastic player.
yes, he is good, but when i listen to original, Gilmore makes me cry, without a bit of shreding.
@@chegavara67 literally no one asked
@@chegavara67 another blues boy who cries when someone plays with any kind of technical ability..Go listen to some BB if you can't handle it
@@axkmster You're funny guy. I play for 30 years now, For sure i've never been a blues player... Over the years, my perception of music has drasticly changed. Shred tells me musically absolutely nothing. It yust shows me motorical abbilities..... Sorry if i hurt your shredders pride. Modern rock has become a competition, who can play more notes in a single interval....
Love Mike's calming, dreamy vocal.
this is the best Confortably Numb cover i've ever seen.
Might I recommend Brit Floyd?
I totally agree!!!!!!!!!!
The wrost of the people who can play.. This is not the soul of this song is gentle and unforgiven.. This is only hrioejshsaheueghaoosnsgsooabeidija
Amazing
@@HeadHunterSix might I recommend the Australian pink Floyd?
The guitarist meshed his modern chops with this classic very respectfully, in my opinion.
Yes it’s Ron Thal, one of the best players on our planet
In full Ron Bumblefoot Thal
In full Ron bumblfoot Rosenthal !!
That's the only thing I don't like about this performance...
Not bad, although this kind of shredding solo does not fit that well this song. Still pretty enjoyable anyway.
Some of the best musicians of this planet, playing one of the best song ever written, what to say ? And Ron Thal, bloody hell ...
Just one word of one of the greatest Pink Floyd Fans on the planet: Wow! What a guitar Solo! Magic!
Goosebumps and tears. Geez he's good and that solo is the best guitar solo of all time.
Man, Portnoy is singing so good, and about the band i dont have words, this video is awesome, fantastic, wow , i think that gilmor loved it
Didn't know he sang. Lol. Great job Mike.
@@davidnelson5474 Yeah he at least sings backup in addition to drums in most bands he's in.
@@davidnelson5474 he sang back up vocals on Scenes from a memory. Most clearly in "fatal tragedy" also he has a demo where he sings through the entire "The best of times"
Better than Soto.
Hats off in times of trouble. Good on you, sir. We need to look beyond the sun. Rise up, and make a change. AML from Sweden.
How come no one talks about the bass player?? he is a legend and his name is Billy Sheehan 👍
The whole band in fact is a dream team
Ahhh...niacin...
Billy Sheehan is an underrated bass player in my mind but he is bloody fantastic with mr big, Steve vai and soa
I remember him from the DLR band in the 80's.
@@JuanPabloMedinaStumpfs its a dream team, but never a dream theater LMAO
Mike’s raw talent and drum set up have always been every drummers dream.
I appreciate those who recreate these songs in the same tradition they were performed in originally !!!! Thanks to the band for a beautiful cover!!!!!
agree !
how is that in any form origionally
Mike on vocals. I love whenever I see. Great job man!
Really! Check his backing vocals work with The Winery Dogs. Stunning 🤟🏻🤙🏻💎
@@Leddrums Well remembered. I hope to see a lot of his works on vocals ...
@@vitorhyonaiAnd double bass stuff like in Oblivion 🤟🏻😁
He’s gotten a lot better over the years.
@@husker6395 of course mate. Those guys have time and money to go to school as well apart earning money by night 😂
Mike always manages to find the right players to cover his favs. Very nice rendition.
Christ what a performance. Gives me the shivers knowing the 'Original' from past events. Celebration of true admiration of the composers. Thank you for sharing!
The genius of Pink Floyd... timeless. The restraint with so many monster musicians is so appreciated. Wonderful...
This band is absolutely magical. I can't wait for a new album thank you guys
Absolutely love this tune, you can never beat Pink Floyd however this is the best cover version of the song ive heard
Fantastic 🔊🎵🎵🎵🎵
One of genuine cover I’ve seen so far of “comfortably numb”
That outro solo was phenomenal and shows how smart of a guitarist Ron is. He could set the fretboard on fire if he wanted to, but he knows the value of a simple and effective melody too. The result in that solo was a brilliant emulation of the style of the original song with just enough of his own touches and flashes of skill to make it unique without overpowering it.
Incredible Solo! What a cover. Easily one of the best covers .
Good guitar player, but the solo sucked big time imo. Especially the dumb and unecessary shredding shows that he is nowhere close to David Gilmour.
@@Anaximander29A in fact it sounds ten times better than the original one,this way...What you want to say is that Gilmour can't play second part of the solo like Ron...it's ok...the song is a music legend anyway...
@@Anaximander29A you absolute moron, stupid boomer...
@@Anaximander29A Your opinion sucks. He could easily play it just like Gilmour, but there's no excitement for him in doing that so he adds his own touch of shred to keep it fresh and interesting and to make it his own. I'm sick of you melodic solo gatekeepers that think any bit of technical ability and speed instantly means bad. I appreciate all styles and speeds of guitar playing and this was goddamn beautiful to me, to each their own I guess.
@@lumpy9964 I guess I was a bit too harsh with "that solo sucked big time"... I just don't like it that much. But it's definitely not as good as Gilmour on the Pulse live show. "He could easily play it just like Gilmour, but there's no excitement for him in doing that.." If that is true than this just shows that something is fundamentally wrong with this guitar player. 1. It's about the music, not about the musician's ego, 2. the arc of suspense and phrasing in the said live version from Pink Floyd is insane, if there would be no excitement in it for him than he wouldn't understand a whole lot about music. But seriously I doubt that. I bet that he knows he can't play it quite as good as Gilmore and the shred was definitely just a fan service for all you nerds. I am absolutely not against "technical" playing, but if someone does it just for the sake of it then it sounds absolutely cringe to me.
My favorite song of all time! This version is astonishing and best cover I've heard of song. Portnoy hits it out of the park on vocals and Bumblefoot's solo is incredible!
Definitely the best version I've ever seen. What a way to impress me these monsters of musicians. Congrats !!!
Ron is my favorite guitarist today - hands down. God he's thrilling to watch.
Yeah he has become my favorite player of the 2000s. Incredible.
I never knew Portnoy has such great vocals, the harmonies in the pre-chorus and chorus are class.
A lot of that is Bumblefoot (guitar player). Dude just put out a Soundgarden cover that is spot on. He can really sing.
@@TomMcMahonMUSIC
lmao
@@TomMcMahonMUSIC anyone who can step in for John Wetton with any degree of success can obviously sing extraordinarily well… especially while simultaneously stepping into Steve Howe’s guitar parts. Portnoy has a unique vocal contribution also, as he shows well as bottom end of the Flying Colors harmonies.
Portnoy has lots of vocals in Dream Theater. Probably the most after Labrie.
He sang quite a bit in Dream Theater
I sat listening with my jaw wide open for this whole performance, absolutely amazing.
Hats off.. Sons of Apollo. 👍from mokokchung nagaland
Man if Ron was playing that close to me I'd be like " I'm not worthy ....I'm not worthy" , cant go wrong with ron, brilliant as always
One of the better covers I've heard of this in a long time. Spot on AND some.
I just saw the Australian pink Floyd show last night and they encored with this,was awesome!
The accuracy of second solo is amazing
Wow!! This is absolutely fantastic. Never heard this sound so good from another band. Great job you guys and I'm so glad I ran across this. Can't stop listening to this.
My god 🤩🤩 AMAZING! Thank you MP and SOA... Pink Floyd always reminds me of the best times in my life ❤️
Bumblefoot, totally underrated. Guy is spot on, perfect pitch, tasty, great f'in tone and can and does do it all.
He is one of the Greatest
Underrated? Definitely not. Just not as well known as he should be.
Honestly, I rate him up there with the very best. I tackled shawn lane before bumblefoot.
Bumblefoot is one of those guys who every time I see I think he is better than I remember.
He sounds like JP at his best days back in the 90s.
Mike you are just wonderful.
Thank you for the wonderful music.
Big hugs from France.
WHAT A PERFECT AND SOUND MATERIAL PRODUCED, A TRUE MUSICAL DELITE BY PINK FLOYD
I love the way that each member of the band acknowledges each others ability and skill with their instruments. No egos involved: just respect for each other.
Mike, your voice is made for this song! Just great! Ulrich from BILDNER TV
Well guys, that is the best cover version so far! Great, thank you!
Um baterista que canta Pink Floid, que sai do Dream Theater e faz um excelente trabalho em inúmeras bandas é simplesmente fenomenal. Um salve para o estimado Portnoy!
Portnoy é fora da curva!!!
That fretless guitar SCREAMS! I've never wanted one more!
Unfortunately, it's not about the guitar. It's about what's behind it
the guitar hes playing here isnt fretless.....only the other one.
Bumblefoot is smashing it.. The whole band is out of this planet
Pink Floyd would absolutely be proud of this! This is so awesome!
Absolutely 💯 brilliant 🤩
By far the best Comfortably Numb cover ever!
The version DT did with Geoff Tate during the Tribe tour was very good live
I would say Brit Floyd but this is spectacular.
Brit Floyd is basically Pinky reincarnate. Saw em at an outdoor show last year with 10,000 people. PHENOMENAL. They all use Fractal Axe Fx IIs direct to front of house with a quiet stage and in ear monitors. They play to a click and pretty much create a studio environment on the stage. Their tone is immaculate, and Damien Darlington is like Gilmour Jr.
Go see Brit Floyd!!
@@rickfeith6372 well said, I've seen them twice and it was unbelievable.
Absolutely stunning cover of one of my all time favorite songs. I always get the shivers when Pink Floyd / David Gilmour play the final guitar solo. Sons of Apollo succeeded in giving me the shivers at the same moment.
you & me brother
Not over played. Not under played. Perfectly played. Amazing cover of one of the greatest songs in the history of music. Bravo, nicely done
He’s a good player , no doubt, but Van Halen style fret wanking has no place in a Floyd solo, much as i appreciate both styles.
@@stoicsceptic8420 Stop gatekeeping. He did the same formula that Gilmour does for live performances, play the first half note for note then improvise the second half with what he feels which is exactly what Bumblefoot did here.
@@lumpy9964 I will hold my opinions, thank you very much , who are you to tell me what to think ?
@@stoicsceptic8420 Think what you want sure, but who are you to say what belongs in a Floyd solo cover?
There is no place for doubt... this is the best version ...fantastic guitar ...THANK YOU, BOYS
This song is a perfect masterpiece.
Above all, the guitar solo is insanely good. The feel and the phrasing are both there.
Exactly... Perfect solo: respected the original melody and when the song asks for more notes, he showed his magic.
@Cletus Anfernee Jackson Just shut it. Please. You think this is played without emotion? There is tons of it. Just pull your head out of that smelly cavity and listen
@Cletus Anfernee Jackson Idiot. That was a perfect solo.
Ron nailed it. Love his restraint from overplaying.
I agree...not bad at all
I have been a Pink Floyd fan for over 40yrs .... I have to take my hat off and salute you for this cover , Absolutely Fantastic Job !! 👍
C
Great: He never lost the spirit of the original, this is tastefull shredding...
Man!! How I love his drum sound... And the respect for the orginal song, specially the solo... Amazing!
That made me emotional past what I thought was possible. True justice done to an EPIC song!
I was there... Perfect! The second cover was Gates of Babylon - perfect! Blackmore and Gilmour in one show in my town - thanks to Mike Portnoy and his friends... I had not even dreamt! God bless you, Mike!
This song is so beautiful that any group that performs it is beautiful.
I could listen to this solo forever, Bumblefoot does a great job here, real delight for guitarists and rock lovers everywhere..
Bumblefoot literally has tears running down my cheeks with the ending guitar solo. Wow man!
Well yeah he's playing a 40lbs guitar ffs
@@mattstrat1 really??? jesus that's heavy

What a great version of this great song.
Good morning from Brazil, over this sweet light by now. Congratulations over sounds, harmonies and personality.
Love how happy Mile looks here. Near the end of Bumbles solo you could see how much Mike was digging how their parts were meshing. Bravo guys. What a show
That Bumblefoot though...
He's legendary 🙏
@@cinamynj ...and yet, somehow, criminally underrated. He's a frickin wizard.
@Cletus Anfernee Jackson I heard a lot of emotion, personally. It was his own interpretation, and you're allowed to interpret a solo any way you want. You're also allowed to hate it, of course. ;)
@Cletus Anfernee Jackson yeah we get it fuckface, every person who likes the solo is wrong, your right, your amazing, you know everything! What a tool
@@colz848 Eh, not gonna get all douchey like Cletus, but I do think one thing in a lot of modern Prog that does bug me is there is a lot of technical wankery in place of simple melody. Just my opinion, none of the "additions" actually in any way improved the solo.
But for the record, I also can't get in to Yngwie, Dream Theater, etc. Because I feel too often they substitute technical wizardry for actual songwriting. Complex seldom actually adds emotion, because emotions are in themselves pretty simple.
*shrugs* so, Different strokes, different folks.
You guys nail this song just like the original Pink Floyd.
For a moment I thought it was David.
Holy moly tat was a great cover performance.
Best version I have ever heard. Tks guys t was comfortably soothing.
Pink Floyd tat for bringing this song to Earth.
My oh my
Absolutely great cover
My Idol Mike Portnoy,Singing the legendary Roger Waters part is simply amazing
MP's vocal treatment was stunning.
I'm comfortably numb after this cover ❤️
great performance, i loved it! what an amazing talent you guys have!!!!
No doubt David's version on Pulse is the ultimate, many try but very few succeed in covering this musical masterpiece, but this is as close to perfection as you can get!
I agree with your comment about the Pulse version. It is my favorite of my favorite song. This one is the best of the non Gilmour attempts that I have heard. It's different and there is a lot of shredding, but you never get lost in what song your hearing. I enjoyed the energy and obvious talent of the band and especially the guitar player.
Nah man its all about that sound of thunder
Now check the one in Pompeii and weep
What a treat! Not only did they stay true to the song and sing it fantastically, they extended the ending with Ron’s incomparable style.
The best cover of this song in the history of EVER. Wow. Can't WAIT to see these guys live!
Fantástica essa banda. Tocam muito bem a música do Pink Floyd. Parabéns: esse guitarrista é sensacional.
Mike I have not seen you this much in the groove and this happy for a long time.... all the Sons of Apollo work I have seen shows this as well awrsome, spectacular and outstanding.... including the rest of you guys
The original is only one, but this performance is absolutely masterpiece!
It is a masterpiece superb, the NOW
The guitar solo is good, and I don't have a problem with all the shred playing towards the end as long as the emotional playing comes first. The singing here is not filled with the sense of pain and depression needed. This is still one of the very best covers of this song.
I was super disappointed when I heard this tune and dream on will not be on the Blu Ray but now I'm ok after 9 minutes of awesomeness ! The best cover of comfortably numb I've ever heard !!
