[WencesWasHere]

You know something funny? Members are BB, GG and MM :P

[Beaudereck]

@WencesWasHere My initials are MGB !

[IxSuB1iMiNaLxI]

Since this album came out its all ive been listening to..like literally. haha its phenomenal..

Am i the only 18 year old Native kid that listens to this shit?

[Beaudereck]

@IxSuB1iMiNaLxI We don't care about your age, seriously. And no, you are not. This is quite easy to listen to.

[IxSuB1iMiNaLxI]

@Beaudereck Are you Native too? what tribe you from, bro? hahahahahahhahaha

it seems like all the Guthrie fans like myself are pretty old compared to me..thats all i was tryin to say..

and also, are you just pointing out that its easy to listen to? or was that directed at me specifically? i dont remember saying it wasnt..lololol

[gabrivinisallsilv]

@IxSuB1iMiNaLxI i'm 16 man, and i love this!!!!

[JeffreyMulac8]

Anyone seen the movie? I laughed so hard (esp. Gilbert Gottfried) that I almost burst my appendix. What a great reference for music! I can't wait to get this CD. Marco is one of the greatest ever. Did anyone see how cool he was about LOSING an audition with D. Theater? This is hilarious by itself (MIke Mangini is really good, though). So many new instrumental rock and fusion groups. Love it.

[momflute]

I just got the cd!!! it's burning up my laptop! <3 u BB.

Debbie

[apixx1]

most innovative album since big bang!

[biggreenjelly]

This sounds amazing! Like Zappa is reborn.

[Amyntass]

This album is freakin' amazing. A *TOTAL* band effort - not just endless guitar wanking over a generic rhythm section.

Imagine THAT! A guitar album that actually has real music...

[coenus12]

Just got the download and am waiting for the CD. This album is just awesome. The best rock instrumental album I've heard in many years. GO GET THIS ALBUM!

[aristocratsbandboing]

The debut album from The Aristocrats is now available for immediate download at the band site's online store as well as iTunes. CDs and t-shirts are now shipping as well. Hope to see some of y'all during the upcoming tour of the US/Canada east coast.

[MrRuggo]

Has the bands name anything to do with the Aristocrats joke?

[ggalexhutchings]

am i the only one smelling a little primus in the last song? lots more notes, but it just stinks like primus in the beinning.

@AbdulRaghead

Translated - Raghead said:

This shit sucks balls on the race of Man was shot dead. It must be ridiculous nonsense I heard the worst ever. Trash! Absolute fucking garbage. Guthrie Govan may not feel at all. It's all Alqrvalthor technology. Damn you all suck.

Raghead, your wife the goat is calling you.

No go strap a bomb on and blow yourself.

[jasondesante]

instead of marco joining a metal band that only has one true drummer (dream theater, portnoy) he makes a band with the greatest guitar player in the world!!!

[jasondesante]

honestly who were those 4 people?

[mostafa31st]

@AbdulRaghead Eskot bas we7yat omak.

[slayisinsanified]

@AbdulRaghead obvious troll is obvious

[aristocratsbandboing]

Free download of the entire 'Sweaty Knockers' track is now available at the band's site. Check it out!

[MazeusT]

Plain awesome. I saw these guys live in SF in late-June and the show was just absolutely unbelievable. I say this album is already destined to be a classic in the rock instrumental genre.

[Kingding6]

@IdolGetz oh, my bad. I assumed you were going to expand on the reasons you don't enjoy the music, instead of insulting me and telling me to read your comment, which I obviously did, otherwise i wouldn't have responded with a comment of my own.

[22FretsIsNotEnough]

@IdolGetz It's frustrating seeing people say something 'lacks musicality' just because they don't like it. It's such a vague term too, you're saying absolutely nothing other than you think your opinion is fact.

[pooluke41]

A band walks into a talent agency. It's Guthrie, Brian and Marco. Guthrie says to the talent agent, "We have an amazing act. You should show us." The agent says, "Sorry, I don't show Fusion acts. They're to EPIC." Marco says, "Sir, if you just see our act, you will show us." So Marco Lays down a Beat and Guthrie Plays at Hyper Speed while Brian Rules the Low end. The agent just sits in silence. Finally, he says, "That's a good act. What do you call it?" And the Guthrie says, "The Aristocrats!"

[Kingding6]

@IdolGetz what don't you like about it guy?

[maledrops]

Wow that last one has an awesome grunge feel to it!

[viewer5123]

God this just feeds my ear pussies ever time I hear this!!! :D

[3csburst]

supergroup my ass.this band is a supranatural group

[JohnnyTiberin1]

Holy Shit 5:10

[DrPoca]

I'm really looking forward to this. Can't wait to hear more!

[zac23godwin]

@guitar5289

Yeah man! Guthrie plays what he hears, then if he thinks it sounds cool he will learn what he is actually doing later on.

[francisco444]

@IdolGetz Might be too complicated for you. I've seen them live and holy fuck. Can't wait to see them again.

[guitar5289]

The thing about guthrie that is so cool is that when he is playing lots of notes I still find the musicality in it unlike so many other players, so I find it strange when people say that he has no musicality. Listen to Sevens with the tapping it screams musicality in my oppinion.

[Guitareben]

@guitar5289 Totally agree! His shredding is really musical, unlike most shredding :o

[rexasul]

This music reminds me of everything that is good!

[rexasul]

@IdolGetz Your opinions suck and the funniest thing is that it is YOUR problem. Cheers for the laugh, though!

[IverDaBest]

@IdolGetz You should know that this is not a song, its parts from some of the songs.

[rsantana2255]

Really nice. This is how great instrumental music should sound.

[qweruiyfgklkjh]

@IdolGetz Thanks for the laugh! LOL

[joeywrightman]

@IdolGetz Well, if you don't get it, you just don't get it and never will. Your loss, not mine.

[guitar5289]

I am definetly gonna get this CD

[JosieBoise]

This is definitely the instrumental band of the future.

[Kingding6]

Fuck this is awsome. 3:30 to 4:10 is almost so tasty it borders on eargasm.

[tomgrey7]

The sickest player in the world is now in the sockets band in the world.

[ValThomason]

Guthrie just keeps getting better and better. Sounds better too! This band is destined for legendary status.

[nyedale]

Nice! The perfect band for Guthrie to let loose and push things to the limit.

[Amyntass]

Ahhh, this is so friggin' refreshing. These guys get it. REAL tone with ideas and not just endless noodling. This really does sound like a band, not just Guthrie with a backing rhythm section. Super cool!

[RoyerHalladay]

Amazing. It's not just pointless guitar wanting here. This is simply great ensemble MUSIC. This is exactly what the world needs.

[guitarfan1967]

Judging just by this clip, this band seems to have it all: technique to the max, sound, feel, musicality, band interplay, composition, improvisation, rawness, tone, melody, rhythm, harmonic content, and on and on and on... Can't wait to hear the whole album and see them live. I'll be catching them in Chicago on Oct 9! Hip-hip hooray!!!

[coenus12]

This is just awesome and exactly what the prog-fusion community has been waiting for. Cream of the 21st Century indeed! Really looking forward to this one. Things are stale out there and I believe this band will give a lot of us exactly what we need.

[mostafa31st]

Can't wait! cheers from Egypt!

[scarred2112]

Good god, this material is fantastic, the recording and mixing is *perfection* (whichever instrument is your thing they're certainly defined, and the recording as a whole sounds great knowing that Mark Miemiec, who mixed both Beller's "Thanks In Advance" & "Wednesday Night Live!" CDs handled it), the band members are all at the top of their game... and it's a GREAT album cover to top it off.  Can we ask for me?!? Well, better-located tour dates... ;-)

[Afurthyclays]

Hot on Holdsworth's heels!

Fookin' Goothrie!!!

[Afurthyclays]

Be afraid........ Be VERY afraid!

[guthriefan777]

1st song - I want a Parrot

2nd song - Bad Asteroid

3rd song - Sweaty Knockers

4th song - ???

5th song - ???

If you know the names of the last 2 please chime in :)

[scarred2112]

@guthriefan777 The last song is a remake of "See You Next Tuesday", an absolutely mind-blowing fusion tune off of Beller's first album "View". Given that the guitar on the original was played by Mike Keneally (and drums by the amazing Toss Panos), It's fairly safe to say GG has his work cut out for him, but from what's on the sample collage it sounds like he's got things under control... ;-)

[Filthy04]

Do you guys know others bands like them ? I mean the same style.

[charlezurich]

Guh Guh Buh BoomMMMMMM

[H4RM0N1C5]

4:34 was possible the rudest thing i've ever heard. And I fucking loved it

[KlandestinoRec]

Woow this preview sounds amazing! cheers from colombia

[planet10]

@CWPtacek no. the mixing was done later in May i believe. from what i understood, T.J. Helmrich in Los Angeles was supposed to do the mixing, of which i was excited about since he is really good at his craft. but i guess somewhere in the process it was moved to somewhere in Nashville.

[planet10]

@fransisco444 thanks for the props on the guitar tone, Suhr Badger 30 w/Suhr 2x12 open back and Custom Audio 100 watt head w/Custom Audio 4x12 mic'd with CAD Audio T-7000 ribbons and a rare Universal Audio 2108 2 channel mic pre. Also quite a few pedals.

[PutItAway101]

Off-the-chart talented guys

[theguitfiddle]

FINALLY!!!

[netorockerg]

I hear Bad Asteroid?? Great!

[francisco444]

I liked and favorited even before playing the video. GG tone in this record is fucking sweet!

[aristocratsbandboing]

@CWPtacek - BB here. it was mixed by Mark Niemiec at Muggytone Studios in Nashville, TN. Mark also mixed my last two solo albums, Wednesday Night Live and Thanks In Advance. He's awesome. :-)

[Doyle251]

@aristocratsbandboing Will you guys be doing any gigs in the Nashville area?

[henryshomebrew]

@aristocratsbandboing oh nononono... your awesome, as are your fellow bandmates. cant wait to see you guys in boston in sept!!!!!!!!!

[Fluffypopcicle]

@aristocratsbandboing

THE NEW ALBUM IS COMING OUT ON MY BIRTHDAY!!! And so is A Dramatic Turn of Events by Dream Theater and Echoes of The Fallen by Anterior. This a dream come true, 3 albums coming out on my birthday and ones that I have eagerly anticipated too. Thanks for choosing September 13th, this is going to be the most badass birthday ever :D

[vmarcks]

what was the ONE dislike thinking?

[TheEvilsocky]

@vmarcks He jizzed so hard it it dislike.

[fometto]

Fucking amazing!!!



[manuorchestra]

[miguelwmonteiro]

guthrie govan guitar

bryan beller bass

marco minnemann mrums!

[chicks161]

can not wait , sounds great

[TomRichardson92]

this is amazing, i'm really looking forward to the album release now!

[lafond1H]

3:20 I wish i could just hear an album of all that from guthrie. soooo good

[Dmacattack93]

I think it would be even more awesome if they got a singer. But that's not to say that they aren't already FUCKING INTENSELY AMAZING. I would just like to see after their first album if they can start adding a bit of singing to their stuff. But whether they do or don't, I am definitely gonna start following them more closely. Especially since I already liked all of these guys individually :D

[gdw3]

Kick ass. Can't wait to hear the whole thing!

[Wgrant]

That album cover is amazing

[rodrigoguitarlover]

Great Stuff! If you tour don't forget Portugal! Great Guthrie Govan

[eric0731]

G.G .B.B M.M  !!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[manolisworld]

@eric0731 a universe conspiracy 

[jusahneim]

@eric0731 They have such great passages for singing in their songs.

i dreamed of having a C.C there too.

Chris Cornell...

[johnw777]

Damn, this sounds AWESOME!!!!!!!!!!

[planet10]

that would be planet10studios in Palatine, IL (Chicago suburb) in April 2011. recorded on Nuendo 5.1, Neve 8108 console, CAD Audio mics and Ultrasone headphones. p10studios com

[CWPtacek]

@planet10 Sounds awesome. Where was it mixed? No way they got the mixing done in the TINY amount of time they were in Chicago, or did they? This stuff, albeit at YouTube lossy, sounds insane. Just insane. I hope it gets you guys a ton of business in the bizarre impossible music community. :)

[nickvitogiannes]

This is going to be an incredible album. What talent on this record. Marco and Guthrie really stepped it up!!!! The recording sounds awesome. I wish I knew what studio this was done???? Just great!!!!

[trendm0nger]

I do say, old bean, I must express my astonishment of your accomplishment.

[BydoEmpire73]

Can't wait for the album - sounds amazing (as expected). This band has no weak links.
