Bass legends Wooten, Bailey and Beller deliver a fiery mix of Sabbath and Stevie Wonder in this highlight from WesFest 2025.

The Aristocrats return to Europe in 2026 for a full tour performing music from their latest album, DUCK, plus highlights from their full catalog.

Bryan Beller and The Aristocrats have been touring the world in support of their latest album, DUCK, and they’re not stopping yet. The prog trio completed by guitarist Guthrie Govan and drummer Marco Minnemann has announced a new set of North American tour dates for the spring.

The Aristocrats have announced the DUCK North American summer tour. The trio of Guthrie Govan, Marco Minnemann, and Bryan Beller will be playing and talking about their latest album, “DUCK,” which dropped in February.

The Aristocrats have returned with their fifth studio album, entitled “Duck.” Each member of the trio contributed three compositions to the effort, which is their first concept album.

The G3 tour has officially kicked off, and we’re already starting to see footage. Joe Satriani, Steve Vai, and Eric Johnson are joined by Bryan Beller on the tour. Here they are performing “Crossroads” at the Rialto Theater in Tucson, AZ.

After teasing it last month, The Aristocrats have revealed the details of their upcoming album, which marks their first studio record in five years. “DUCK” is a concept album described as “rowdier than ever, but… like nothing else in their catalog.”

After a decade of dormancy, Dethklok has returned an album of all new songs and a full-length feature film. “Dethalbum IV” and “Metalocalypse: Army of the Doom Star” are out now, and as such, the animated death metal overlords are taking the metal to the masses.

Bassists Alberto Rigoni and Michael Manring have teamed up release an instrumental album called “Grains of Sand” that ranges from prog to fusion and ambient sounds. The duo has worked together before, most recently on Rigoni’s “Song for Souls.”

The Aristocrats create some pretty intricate music with just three people, so it’s only more epic that they’ve teamed up with Primuz Chamber Orchestra to release an album with more fleshed-out versions of their songs.

Joe Satriani has returned with a new album called “The Elephants of Mars”, marking his 19th studio album. Bryan Beller, who has worked with Satriani for many years, tailored his bass sound to fit the sounds of Satriani’s demos.

Gerald Veasley’s Bass Bootcamp is back for 2022, which will mark the camp’s 20th anniversary. The weekend-long getaway will once again include hands-on workshops, masterclasses, giveaways, and meet and greets with the camp’s faculty.
