Javier Alba michael says that they always wanted to record in some ancients ruins or something (imagine that, it would be awesome) but they didnt have enough money): fucking capitalism system
Not many would think that Symphony X and Kansas have much in common... but always listening to this track I start to get those Kansas-vibes (vocal melody, twists and turns in the whole composition etc.)!
its 5/4, 11/8, 5/4, 11/8, etc, at 0:29 its 5/4, at 0:47 its 7/4, 4/4, 4/4, 4/4, etc, at 1:01 its 7/4, 7/8, 6/8, 7/4, 4/4, at 1:12 its 7/8 seven times and 6/8, 6/8, what an intro haha, good old stuff, not to mention the verse starts going 6/4, 5/8
Those were the good old days. Last time I seen them for the Paradise tour they didn't play one single song from V -- only the greatest suite of masterpieces hitherto. They even dedicated an entire album side to it, how can they just pretend it never happened. They are still my favorite, but I am not without sadness, for I haven't been inspired or touched like that again -- although the Odyssey was close. it's just every single song on V is unbelievably exceptional. Truly surpasses any genre!
Sx as that subtle way of having odd timing wich you can feel good, Dt as that capacity of breaking a beat wich is hard to follow but still is pretty nice. Both are not alike so never compare them again plz lol
Agreed. Also LaBrie does not sound good at all when he gets aggressive. Search for Dream Theater's cover of Pantera's Cemetary Gates for an example. I think LaBrie sounds good when he sings lower. But as you said, the rest of the band makes up for it!
Epic! It's good to know that metal bands actually are performing, and doesn't use playback like the majority of mainstream artists nowadays. Symphony X are flawless! :3
i'm watching this video now; this is the first time i've ever heard Symphony X, and from what i'm hearing, they're definitely equal to Dream Theater (for those if you that feel the need to compare the two). i thought they were just going to be like Blind Guardian or something, but when i heard this, i was like holy crap, they're sweet! the beginning reminded me of castlevania or final fantasy :D
They do respect eachother. I don't know for how long but members of Dream Theater and Symphony X appeared to be inseparable offstage when they toured with Megadeth. I've been a fan of both bands for almost a decade now. It saddens me to see fools trying to create fictional pissing contests between the two-they are both different bands who share the goal of creating mindful and technical music. Real music fans appreciate and learn they don't try to start shit like idiotic high schoolers.
You are right, but the thing is that in stadium or big festival shows like this, it can be REALLY hard to get a decent sound mix where every member of the band is heard properly in the mix to the crowd. Plus, Romeo is using a POD Pro with a Marshall Monobloc poweramp and two Marshall Cabs. Not the best live sound equipment. However, he still sounds decent on his own.
I love DT and I've only recently heard about these guys. They sound great. I love how their keyboardist plays. Stop comparing the two bands and saying who's better. I'm sure those guys respect each other.
@Yiannis2112 YOU'RE SO RIGHT MAN!!!!!!!!! God be mercyfull with the ones who think tha Dream Theater is the first metal progresive band, cause they don't know what theyre doing (or thinking)... WATCHTOWER!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! LIVE FOREVER!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Does Symphony X have any ballads? I only know of their fast tunes like this one. I love Michael Romeo and his playing is awesome. I am wandering if he can play slow and emotional solos like his ultra awesome fast shred solos. John Petrucci can and does. Not knocking Romeo because he is one of my heros.
yeah true, there are so many prog metal bands around the world. I think DT is overhyped. I love their music really; but bands like SX; Fates Warning; Angra a; aghora; Ayreon ;Pain of salvation and I could go on more and more... prog metal kicks as(as SX does) yeah!!!!!!
Stop comparing DT and this band. SX and a 1000 bands own DT for their sound However, there's nothing wrong with that, SX are amazing too, AT THEIR OWN WAY. I don't think they want to be DT, never. They just play their way, and it's great even if DT is, for me, better in many ways.
hey... don't forget to listen to whispers either and the title from their last album, paradise lost... well... there are others and as mentioned: Candlelight Fantasia that's a song everyone should listen to at least 200 times in life!
What da hell!?? This is my absolutely favourite band, but russel looks so terrible. I mean: look at his shoes espacially the socks. That's disgusting! And what's with Michael. His face looks like a wabbling mass. Oh my god!! He needs a diet!! :-))
practically Prog metal is 'evolved' rather than 'invented'... and Fates Warning was probably the first prog metal band..nevertheless DT is a great band and i have all my respect for it. SX is perfect though :D
damn... i put this song for my 2,5 year old daughter to listen while driving...since then she is busting my balls listening to the same song over and over and loud!!! I should have put the smurfs instead
this ain't fucking guitar hero' who gives a fuck how they look! the sure know how to play their instrumens well* this is not mainstream music .it is mighty progmetal.let's support it !
@Skallagrim77 He looks like the kind of kid who have been bullied in his youth, then decided to pick up the guitar and train till he was more awesome than thoose whom bullied him
What the hell does it matter if hes fat?! OMG you smart guy judging the band by look Idiot. Symphony X is a great band! Some of their songs are abit heavy imo, though good otherwise!
actually it really sounds very poor. They shows today sounds A LOT better ! Not just for the amazing performance (in this video it's nice too) but the gear configuration and everything. Anyway, this MUSIC IS AMAZING.
It would be lovely to see a SX video without the same legion of people in some non existing war between SX and DT. They are not the only two bands on the earth guys!
I bet you screamingcheeto are an expert and an authority in the emotion buisness and thus got propably an idea that its possible and makes any sense to tell whos "better".
I talked to Michael Pinella in Helsinki earlier this month after their show. He told me this is one of his favorite songs . And... it's one of my favorite too. Michael Romeo is amazing, however, Symphony X needs the epic keyboards to balance the heavyness that lives inside Romeo. This song is truly the perfect balance of everything. Don't get me wrong, I enjoy the heavier tracks as well, but this, to me, is perfection.
@xNauticus yeah, you're right... by the way I was just joking, he just wears horrible cloths... he is a guitar hero, one of my favourite ones, so who cares about the look!? ;)
The crowd has no idea what kind of one in a life time opportunity they witnessed
This is pure gold..they dont have a clue idea
i realize I am kinda off topic but does anybody know a good place to stream newly released movies online ?
@Vivaan Ignacio flixportal :D
@Dwayne Collin Thanks, signed up and it seems to work :D I appreciate it!
@Vivaan Ignacio You are welcome xD
Wow they soud soo good!
Very true...comment made me laugh though.
UMM.... actually Dream Theater FTW
i will never undestand why they never released an Oficial DVD!

@@DavidCamporredondo The fans should fund it not the fucking government
@@sfirv , you are a wise guy.
One of the best metal vocalist in my opinion
WhiteFox Yeah. In the studio, not live.
You may be right for the pre-Iconoclast era,but from that album on I've seen him live 5 or 6 times and he always had stunning performances.
Absolutely!
@@gabrielredwine9955 he is fenomenal in live
Yeah, he is🤘🏼
Dude totally. Dream Theater and SX are my all time top favorites. I still listen to DT more, but SX is also something very special.
Not many would think that Symphony X and Kansas have much in common... but always listening to this track I start to get those Kansas-vibes (vocal melody, twists and turns in the whole composition etc.)!
I think i heard him mention kansas in an interview somewhere. But yes this is very kansas
Romeo dont need eyes , he use his heart to watch the guitar and play solo
its 5/4, 11/8, 5/4, 11/8, etc, at 0:29 its 5/4, at 0:47 its 7/4, 4/4, 4/4, 4/4, etc, at 1:01 its 7/4, 7/8, 6/8, 7/4, 4/4, at 1:12 its 7/8 seven times and 6/8, 6/8, what an intro haha, good old stuff, not to mention the verse starts going 6/4, 5/8
sepita10 haha good work, i enjoyed count along the song, the magic of progressive music

What a lame crowd for such a good band
true, if I was there I would lose my fucking mind
Listen to Candlelight Fantasia, you will cry :)
true words!
this song is perfect!! magic!!
Sx as that subtle way of having odd timing wich you can feel good, Dt as that capacity of breaking a beat wich is hard to follow but still is pretty nice. Both are not alike so never compare them again plz lol
ESP M-II with EMG's. God how would I give for one like this.
ha what is Russell wearing? :P , great song , crap sound engineer tho,can hardly hear the guitars
Look at 0:50 behind Pinella, you will be able to se Marcus from Blind Guardian.
Romeo wears white shoes with all-black attire...I'll be damned...
Gods of Metal 2002 (Stadio Brianteo, Monza).
It doesn't get much more epic than this!
I love the lead singers choice of shirts, fucking classic! lol
Love the Blind Guardian flight case behind pinella
Agreed. Also LaBrie does not sound good at all when he gets aggressive. Search for Dream Theater's cover of Pantera's Cemetary Gates for an example. I think LaBrie sounds good when he sings lower. But as you said, the rest of the band makes up for it!
Just blows my mind why Symphony X hasn't released more official live material. And they never come to my country :(
Epic! It's good to know that metal bands actually are performing, and doesn't use playback like the majority of mainstream artists nowadays. Symphony X are flawless! :3
great!!!!!!!!!!!!!classical power metal!!!!!!!
Fantastic shit, one of my all time favourites.
i'm watching this video now; this is the first time i've ever heard Symphony X, and from what i'm hearing, they're definitely equal to Dream Theater (for those if you that feel the need to compare the two). i thought they were just going to be like Blind Guardian or something, but when i heard this, i was like holy crap, they're sweet! the beginning reminded me of castlevania or final fantasy :D
Great performance, but not a big fan of the mix
It's a festival recording from the early 2000's. That the quality is this good is a minor miracle. xD
Omg, this is a amazing Video,
Nice feeling, skill so much to Romeo.. Wonderfull music...
Love it.. :D

God, Romeo is still amazing as ever.. but he keeps getting fatter.. :)

Comparisons are not a problem themselves, dumb comparisons are.
There are ways for doing good and positive comparisons.

Absolutely. I think the drum work is just as impressive as the guitar playing.
@xNauticus yeah, you're right... by the way I was just joking, he just wears horrible cloths... he is a guitar hero, one of my favourite ones, so who cares about the look!? ;)
Fuck, I was trying to figure out the time signature by following the drums and now my eyes have gone cross and I think my nose is bleeding. I give up.
but plays awesome.
Personally i like fat people that play awesome rather then thin sexy looking people that play like shit (see most rock bands).
what are you talking about...dream is one band...symphony another band....differents but progressive...hail to dream, hail to symphony
hey i love sx but waht's hapen to michel r en this show a lot of mistack if y lisen well y will find it at 01:18 , 4:44 , 4:48 !!!!????
hi,,,, where can I get that bootleg?? I have been looking for that video,, and I have not been able to get it,,, can someone help me?
Symphony and DT follow different paths...there's anything similar on their music...but between Labrie and Russel I prefer Russel...
Oh oh oh!!! And Blackmore??? All of this music style come from Ritchie!!!
Oh friends ive been looking for The odyssey live but i havent found it so far, that song is my fetish, can anyone help about it?
how the fuck is allen dressed?
and in my opinion in live he is not as good as he should be... boh... the best of ever anyway!
This is actually one of their more mellow sounding songs. But listen to The Accolade 1 and 2, those are their "ballads"
Romeo is very fat in this video .......... but I still love him very much :P AND YES IT'S WORTH BEING A LITTLE GAY IN THIS CASE!!
Who invented Prog metal? Back when grunge and gay ass rap was taking over? It was DT. Give respect where it's due.
excellent vocalist
heeey, i was gonna say that o/ yeah, dragonforce is really worse than any other band i can think either...
Guitar & bass too low in the mix :(
hm... i'd give him perhaps like, a well deserved 1st... just because it can't be higher than that ^^
lol mike has the jerry seinfeld look!! classic metal uniform. black tight pants and white sneakers!!!
4:38
Wtf how is michael romeo sweap tapping and talking to russel allen at the same time!!!!??
hey hey, let's not compare them. they both play a different style. although IMO, petrucci pwns. :D
Dont listen to the second half of Dream Theaters Beyond This Life. Your head will explode :) lol
its not an ibanez, its an esp m-II deluxe that he bought in japan they were only made in the early 90's
Yeah, Symphony rocks. But Michael ... He is my favorite guitarist but he looks like, i don't know :D
He does not ruin their stuff. I find it more tasteful live, even if it's not as perfect.
it is an insult having so much crew running around on stage while SX are performing...
Awesome, the band members of Blind Guardian are at the backstage area!
Really raw sound here and yet it's all they need, the music is tight.
I would say I prefer such raw sound sometimes, it Just feels more real, like you've been there.
Someone realized the Blind Guardian´s guitar players behind the keyboard player!!??
I could swear this song was longer on the album...
One of my favorite Symphony X song's and they are amazing live. Looks perfect as the CD
michael romeo is disgusting :) horrible... OMG! but one of the best players ever
john arch... david defeis... russel gets a well deserved 4th place though ;)
i love Paradise Lost. "The Oddyssey" is my favorite album.
jojo leponds chorus..... take a look his face in the moment... lol
divine wings, mythology suite:V and the odyssey are grand albums
i think a good album to buy would be The Devine Wings Of Tragedy
@ShadowOfDeth1 Fuck yeah, this whole band is way more talented.
but this technical sense sometimes makes their shows very boring
nah they´re awsome and my 2nd favorite but really not the best.
Can anybody tell me where and when was this bootleg filmed??
Michael Pinella is the man!
now he really looks like malmsteen...hehehe...great music...
All the best bands have just one guitar.
not quite.
In "score", he did very good.
The "STROOOOONG" is perfect
these guys aren't bad, the style slightly resembles Valo.
Good music!
u do notice that there are already two of this video???
