Symphony X?

What do you all think of this band? I recently saw them at Gigantour this year and thought they were pretty awesome. Their guitarist is simply amazing.

Re: Symphony X?

I've heard of them, and probably their songs too. I don't recognize them out of the blue though. What genre are they?

Re: Symphony X?

They're pretty good, but I really haven't listened to that much of their music.

I think Dream Theater and Shadow Gallery are better prog metal bands, though.

Re: Symphony X?

Those guys are great. And yeah, Michael Romeo has tremendous chops.

"The Odyssey" has been one of my favorite pieces recently.

Re: Symphony X?

I've heard a lot about them, but I've never really listened to them. I probably should check them out.

Not sure if they're your cup of tea. They're very power metal-ish and I think I remember you saying Power Metal is a little too fruity for you. (If I'm wrong, sorry.)

But yeah, it's a great band.

Re: Symphony X?

They are actually a talented band but they can get quite boring at times. I can not say they are a fvaorite, though The Odyssey (song) has to be one of my favorite prog/power songs of all time.

So long as it's not uber-corny stuff like Freedom Call then I'm fine with it.
