Certain artists simply transpire versatility, and refuse to be pigeonholed in a single style. That’s the case with guitarist Ron "Bumblefoot" Thal, whose career has taken a million twists and turns since he decided to play an instrument, after listening to "Kiss Alive!" at the age of six. Having toured the world with Guns N' Roses and established himself as a solo artist, he formed Sons of Apollo in 2017 with Mike Portnoy (drums), Derek Sherinian (keyboards), Jeff Scott Soto (vocals) and Billy Sheehan (bass). In 2019 he took on yet unusual role, taking center stage for the first time and doing vocals for Asia on "The Royal Affair Tour".
While Sons of Apollo have put the finishing touches on their sophomore album "MMXX" and are about to embark on a world tour early in 2020, Bumblefoot is again on the road, doing guitar clinics and intimate shows in the form of storytelling. These are small scale concerts where he plays by himself and/or with the help of a sequencer, and shares anecdotes of his lengthy career.
With dates in the U.S., Mexico, South Africa, Israel, Europe and The United Arab Emirates this year, November 1st was time for Toronto, Canada, to experience this show. Our collaborator Rodrigo Altaf was there to document it, and had the chance to do an interview with Bumblefoot just before the show.
