Little Brother Is Watching is the tenth studio album by recording artist Ron "Bumblefoot" Thal, released on February 24, 2015. It is his first solo album of original material since 2008's Abnormal.
The first single from the album, "Little Brother Is Watching" was debuted on Yahoo! Music on January 28, 2015. The album was composed, produced, recorded, mixed and mastered entirely by Bumblefoot himself in his in-home studio, and features Dennis Leeflang on drums.
Thal stated that Queen, David Bowie, George Harrison & Iron Maiden were influences for the album, as well as Stevie Wonder, Manowar, and Guns N' Roses. Thal mentioned going to a David Bowie exhibit at a museum in Brazil was the catalyst for him to start writing while on the road with Guns N' Roses.
The song "Clots" described Thal's experience with a bleeding tumor and was the first song written specifically for the album. "Argentina" & "Don’t Know Who To Pray To Anymore" are songs Thal wrote with intention for collaboration with Guns N' Roses, but ended up using them for his solo album.
On April 14, 2015, Billboard.com unveiled a music video for the title track, directed by Gabriella Loutfi. The video is set in 1984 BC and features Bumblefoot as a 'Middle Eastern ruler ultimately undone by future technology'. The direction of the video was influenced by filmmaker Georges Méliès. Thal mentioned in an interview the possibility of doing a "60's Sci-Fi Ed Wood inspired" music video for the track "Women Rule the World".
