I met Mark Zonder in mid ninties...Didn't even know who he was. Met him at a FW show...SUPER NICE, HUMBLE GUY!! Then when I saw him play I was like "Man I was just talking to that guy!! And I have NO idea what the hell he is doing but he is amazing!! Probably my favorite drummer since...
I have loved these guys since i first heard them back in the No Exit days. Mark is a god among men. Ray is my favorite singer of all time, no matter how he is singing, from the crazy high notes of Anarchy Divine to Bleed me Dry with Redemption. Jim's playing and song writing is without compare and Joey is an animal! Every stage FW has been through has been great. Thanks so much guys for all the awesome music, I can't wait for the next CD!
The Fates at their peak in this video. I'm a long time fan, since the Awaken the Guardian days, but I've never had the pleasure of seeing them live. I knew Zonder was one of the top drummers, but until I saw this video, I didn't realize he played in traditional grip. That elevates his class to me. Most rock and metal drummers play matched grip, but Zonder is the only Metal drummer I have ever seen do it. Neil Peart is the only Prog drummer besides Zonder that I am aware of using it.
I totally agree...his creativity is uncommon...IMHO he's the main reason for the evolution on this great band....the guitars were always this great, but the complexity of the drums patterns was missing...to really fits those riffs...Zonder's a genius!!
there's something weird about the whole APSOG live VHS. I think Ray re-recorded some vocals in post production. Its not in sync. Don't get me wrong, Ray is AWESOME. I saw them twice on this tour and also have some audio bootlegs. Ray was great. But something is weird.
Matheos is such a godly player, but he's so lifeless on stage. Vera on the other hand, probably equally as skilled, yet his stage presence is excellent.
Zonder is a BEAST of a drummer!!
I have to say, A Pleasant Shade of Grey is possibly the best prgoressive metal album put out since 1995.
How are Fates not more popular??? All their tracks are GOLD!

This song has everthing a prog metal fan could ask for, the definition of a three minute masterpiece!
Awesome as always!!! Mr Zonder is from another planet!!!
I love their music, but seems like they're the most underrated band ever!
Man, Alder is flawless. Must see them Before I die. Been a fan since '87. Oops, showing my age!
APOS is a brilliant recording, a true masterpiece and by far, Fate's best studio/live effort. Top notch musicians at work, no doubt.
Fates has always had one of the best rhythm sections in prog metal
No Fates Warning = No Dream Theater. Bow to our leaders
Mark Zonder man.. fuckin amazing
Zonder is obviously a genius
I can never get enough of this album - I'll be listening to it when its 2050 and I'm an old man
waooo the bass riff at the biggining is amesing
Whoa, must get this album out and listen again, truely underrated band, I wish I had this dvd with mine, amazing!!
Το think that I got this album for free from a magazine... Such a masterpiece!!!
one of the most underrated bands:(
nevertheless,great band!!!
Jim Matheos is a GENIUUSS

Zonder's mind is not human...no human would ever be able to come up with those patterns
Fates Warning :) :) :) :) ROCK ON!!!!!!
This is math music. Nothing for amateurs or beginners. It´s so thoughtful
"Hear you Caaaaa-AAAA-aaaa-AAAA-aaaaa-AAAA--aaaaa--aaalll......."
OMFG what an amazing song and BAND!

APSOG!
By far the best recording by FW.
Great to see this video again!
Wow. I hear ALOT of these guys in Dream Theatre. I believe this was before DT.
this video proves that Fates sound is faster than light by a a few nanoseconds. Long live prog-metal!!!!
wonderful song!
one of the best songs of one of the best albums of all times ....
its crazy i had never listened to these guys and i loved DT (still do) and then i find this and its super sick aswell..leet
holy crap...
this intro blowed my mind
Peart only uses it only on occasion now, mainly with Test for Echo material.
The true heavy progressive sound.
I totally agree...his creativity is uncommon...IMHO he's the main reason for the evolution on this great band....the guitars were always this great, but the complexity of the drums patterns was missing...to really fits those riffs...Zonder's a genius!!
The drummer and singer are insanely talented.
So badass.
Absolute awesome stuff! Mark Zonder is GOD!
I still have this on VHS somewehre
YES!!!!!
A Pleasant Shade of Gray is their best album
Freak`n AMAZING!!!!!!!!!
i caught a stick he trew on the crowd when FW came to San Antonio. zonder is fkn amazing! FW FTW!
YEAH
Great song... ^^
Zonder is incredible! Fates is by far the best live metal band I`ve ever seen.
not on this concert,Ed Roth was playing on this live show.Kevin Moore created this album with FW.
I know he is still mostly matched grip, but he's the only other prog drummer I was aware of using traditional grip, even if it's not full time.
Zonder is a fucking genius!
The Peart of prof metal
Progresivo del bueno..
Back when all these tech death bands were in their nappies.
Best drumer
Zonder is my hero! I still love Neil Peart but I gotta say I'm way more influenced by Mark!
Zonder is amusing!!
rush
fate warning
He's no James "cheese" LaBrie, that's for sure!
FUCKING ZONDER!!!! I humbly bow my head in reverence....
Well, if not the best, at least inside the Top-5.
They didn't, they're actually recording a new album! Without Mark Zonder but with another great drummer
Jason Keazer from Divine Regale
Joey Vera best bassgiuitarist.
🤘❤️🔥❤️🔥ZONDER❤️🔥❤️🔥🤘

@ UseCleverNameHere this is not a live video... if you get what i mean...
Jim Matheos!!!!!
does anyone have the tabs for this song?
Does anyone know where this was live from?Place or date recorded live?
Matheos is such a godly player, but he's so lifeless on stage. Vera on the other hand, probably equally as skilled, yet his stage presence is excellent.
dream theater sucks
here´s the fact..
brilliant song!
amazing.. i had pizza with Ray
Zonder = ET
Sounds a bit like Rush, honestly.
I don't think they're underrated
Planet earth?
Mark Zonder>Mike Porntoy
its a shame. ray adler is overrated. mark zonder is underrated
