looking forward for the 2011 album!!! cant wait to hear it! Symphony X!!! Triumphant!!
Rassell Allen rules..He is so funny...Michael Romeo is greate...Nevermore claim that Symphony X is the most cool and hilarious band that went on tour with them...
amazing people this guys !!
Russell is pretty built too. He's also an amazing singer and he's the vocalist I aspire to be. But overall Symphony X is just a killer band of great musicians, great songs, great albums, and so forth.
\m/ \m/
"go mike mke it cool!"
"i like that its hot!" haha awesome guys cant wait till i get the chance to see them live :)
i really wish there were more russell video interviews
Miichael. I am a guitarrist myself. And I admire you. For me. You are the best. Mam You are unbelievable Cheers. man. You are the best
The SRF 2007 concert was one of the better i've ever seen with these guys
\m/
I love you...
"the next album wont be 5 years."
Oh ReeeeeeeeeeaaaaaAAAAllllllllllllllllly?
What a great a band! :D
I like the new one and i Liked the Odyssey pretty much, but I still have some hope for them returning to more the melodical stuff like in V, Divine Wings...but I'm sure they won't.
The last two ones lack a little bit of his vocal variety he has. The smoother and bluesy stuff is so great but unfortunately rare on the last two ones.
@algiasphere CANT WAIT!
Symphony X incorporates odd time signatures plenty anyway, it's just that Dream Theater does it more than anyone else.
Anyway I'd say that DT and SX have more to do with each other than they do with 99% of other bands.
Michael Romeo decent at guitar. No, he is just absolutely killer. I am a decnt guitarist, but he blows me out of the universe. Now he would DAMNED SURE have his hands full with Marcel Coenen though. It would be a HELLUVA friendly playoff.
That Gigantour was like one of the most epic once , i mean DT, SX , Nevermore D:
Romeo rockin the shorts... ;)
Such an underrated band !
sweet post.
was I the only one who found it funny when rus said that he "finally found a mike which he was happy with". I mean he has 3 in the band already...
EStos vatos si son cheveres!!! Saludos al buen MIchael y Russel desde Tampico´México :p
lol I love how American bands are so chilled out and friendly compared to the European ones in interviews! Europeans are all calm and collected xD
Really
i hope the next album will be in 3 years, then the one after 2 years, then 1 year, then a season, then a month, then a day, then an hour, then a minute, then a second, then a microsecond, then something...something...darkside
man i really wish i could hear the stuff they didnt put on the album..dang it lol
If you say YOU KNOW once more.....
man.... russ has style! haha..
actually old prog rock started somewhere in the middle of the 70's with CAMEL and KANSAS. . . then it came a band called FATES WARNING which gives the touch or the guide of the 80s and 90s progressive metal.
who's playing in the background?the solo sounded nice!
So where the fuck is that new album then if they had so many riffs? lol. WE WANT MORE SYMPHONY X!
that would be something interesting to see :D
lol i just realized you are the same person i'm having the comment chain with on the Michael Romeo Eve of Seducton solo vid.
Not 5 years? It's closing up on 4 years since the last album. I hope they put out a release date soon!!
Can anyone pls tell me what Russel Allan said at this part : 7:03 untill 7:12
It's kinda hard to understand and i guess the CC ain't quite accurate
THANK YOU VERY MUCH
they are polar opposites though. Symphony x is more power metal, symphonic power metal. Dream theater is prog metal. just listen to Symph's set the world on fire and listen to dream theater's glass prison or dark eternal night. Dream theater incorporates odd time signatures where as symph normally has 4/4 or 3/4
I have to disagree about the time signatures. Listen to the new Dream Theater album. It's 4/4 almost all the time. Some of the (older) Symph stuff has some really cool meters. Power metal?!? Polar opposites?
Yup I know that :P
And Yes, King Crimson, ELP etc... however in terms of pioneering prog *metal*, Fates Warning would be there along with Dream Theater (who got big a couple of years after Fates Warning, but really popularised the genre).
Unless there's facination involved. It's the opposite for me. I experiment alot, checking out different music, but i always to the progressive metal:)
what demo they were talking about that they learnt a lesson from?
@tub3scr3am3r whoever says Symphony X plays 4/4 has no idea what they're talking about. At least half their songs are in a time signature most people don't understand
actually it isn't. I own it and even have the tab books. It may seem like it is in 4/4 but it is a varient of 3/8 15/4 and such. I'm talking about the whole album, not one song you might have listened to
@Subzro777 New album is almost ready, apparently.
@Might1789 They're like a kid that just made the biggest m-80 (firecracker) on the block and on June 26th they get to light the fuse
@xPurpleDrinkx9001 Yes really, it was 4. Now the *next* album...
the microphone rocks me
The weird thing is that Russel's speaking voice is freakishly similar to Sammy Hagar's ! ! ! ! ! ! !
LUUCKKYYYY, i wanna meet them, so bad haha
Dream Theater are more accomplished and often considered as *the best* prog metal act ever. That being said, there are a number of reasons people listen to Symphony X- I love Symph X, more than DT- I find them more melodic and really think their music suits me even more than DT.
It's like saying The Beatles are better than Queen- both are great bands, Beatles often said to be "the best Rock band ever" but while they're both Rock, they're both very different- but many people like Queen more.
accept for V: the new mythology suite.
Oook @7SethMurrant7,common interests...Then you might want to see ''Bruce Dickinson falls(Domination 2007)'',''Van Canto Battery (official video)''(The fun starts at 1.20',is a metallica cover,goog singer but strange) and Nevermore interview at Rock Hard live Mania 2003,in which Loomis talks about his underwear!!!LOL
how tall is michael romeo?
@DaveMustaineOwns To me, chilled out is like relaxed and easy-going. I guess by calm I meant sort of quiet and they show less emotion. That's just in my opinion though, take it with a grain of salt.
Lol, Russell's hilarious. xD
Romeo Just decent???
No dude, he kicks some asses too!!!
symx normally plays 4/4? these guys shift time signatures like 3 or 4 times a minute on some songs. c'mon man!
ROFLMAO THE M80 COMMENT!
same goes with Zappa
@c0xb0x
Thx
yeah i know.....maybe, or not, u know
what the heck is celebrated on June 26th? i've searched all over the internet i dint find a thing
2 ppl doesnt "know", u know?
9:03 Russell says You know twice in a row lol
And
@erichani1 and he said it twice in a row! Hope you're doing well old UA-cam Nemesis 😎😎
lmao..those sunglasses...
Hahah.. Well spotted sir.
you know?
eaheuahehaeiuae
check out some very funny vids...John Petrucci Phycho Ex 1-6 and Steve Vai Jemini Distortion Pedal Promotion...SOOOO Funny
russell has a hard time being angry lol..
rofl, just noticed that now. Hilarious
way too short, just like me
I disagree, because both bands have there good and bad points. But there is no point trying to compare them, cause the only thing that they have in common is that they are prog. If you don't like them, then don't listen to them.
LMAO! You tell who the vocalist is. But I love Russell Allen. Well his singing talent that is . HA HA... The interviewer doesn't have to do much work here but hold the mike. Wonder how much he gets paid to do nothing?
nothing worng with it, im christian, and have many musical influencis icluding them and God.
@xPurpleDrinkx9001 well, 4, lol still not 5!
ROFL @ 7:09
all the lyrics were the same and the solos were dull.
Van halen hahaha
prog metal is uh... eh. its fun for a while, then you need a break, then its fun again, then another break.... lol.
yep Michael Pinnella is christian... sad!!! on wikipedia you will find that he plays piano in church!!! sad!
They look like a couple. Ahahahaha
