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.)!
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!
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.
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
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
its so nice that a talented band like this is finaly getting noticed!! been listening to them for 5 years now and im still amazed by their stuff rock on guys!!!!
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!
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
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
Well you definitely have the right to say that-your guitar playing is epic. I agree-it's a shame that some bands are content to stay within their safe "popular music" zone and they are too afraid to venture out and take risks. Symphony X ftw.
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.
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.
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.
Saw them live in 07, they were opening for Dream theater, Romeo was using horribly less stacks, he couldn't be heard at all but still Symphony X kicked ass!
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
Saw Symph at London Astoria at the start of the year, around March time, and I can't believe this is Allen man he looks so different, comparison of now and then, he's definantly changed. and of course Romeo hasn't changed a bit, he's still the god of solos XD
Watching this video shows you how much weight Romeo really has lost since. Quite a heck of alot, congrats to him. Great performer either way but at least he might live longer now lol, which means we may get more SX albums and shows which = win for us :).
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!
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.
This is awesome, Russel allen has such a powerfull voice.. (btw i didnt know who burzum where so i checked them, sounds like someone who's being tortured at a metal convention)
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
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🤘🏼
i will never undestand why they never released an Oficial DVD!

@@DavidCamporredondo The fans should fund it not the fucking government
@@jobvanderdoelen6512 , you are a wise guy.
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.
Romeo dont need eyes , he use his heart to watch the guitar and play solo
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

this song is perfect!! magic!!
Just blows my mind why Symphony X hasn't released more official live material. And they never come to my country :(
It doesn't get much more epic than this!
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
One of my favorite Symphony X song's and they are amazing live. Looks perfect as the CD
I love the lead singers choice of shirts, fucking classic! lol
I love Russell voice, Romeo shoes, Pinella attire, etc. Long live Symphony X ❤️
Thank you for this upload!😀🤘🏼
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
Absolutely. I think the drum work is just as impressive as the guitar playing.
great!!!!!!!!!!!!!classical power metal!!!!!!!
Dead crowd....If it was in Brazil we were banging our heads all the time for Symphony X! Long live to the best Prog metal all time!
Listen to Candlelight Fantasia, you will cry :)
true words!
its so nice that a talented band like this is finaly getting noticed!! been listening to them for 5 years now and im still amazed by their stuff rock on guys!!!!
now he really looks like malmsteen...hehehe...great music...
awesome!! i love this band!!
Symphony X is perfect!
Omg, this is a amazing Video,
Nice feeling, skill so much to Romeo.. Wonderfull music...
Love it.. :D
I LOVE SYMPHONY X MY FAV BAND EVER
Love the Blind Guardian flight case behind pinella
Fantastic shit, one of my all time favourites.
Russell Allen had his voice sharp at that time. I keep coming here once a year to see this video
2:34 MJR's guitar tone s ethereal. It has something to it that I just can't find anywhere else.
Como não se apaixonar por esta banda????? ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
Symphony X needs to hurry up with their new CD. I want it now damnit!
Good music!
No other band can top these guys. Absolutely fantastic!
Romeo wears white shoes with all-black attire...I'll be damned...
Pure magic.
excellent vocalist
All the best bands have just one guitar.
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.
Got to love the vocals.
Gods of Metal 2002 (Stadio Brianteo, Monza).
oh thank god!!!!
someone else realising...
I thought the world was about to end.
Amazing
Wow they soud soo good!
Would love to see these guys live. Great performance.
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!
"Such advancement, yet lacking the control, unaware of your earthly roles..."
Awesome.
i love Paradise Lost. "The Oddyssey" is my favorite album.
and yet another great performance by russel allen, that guy keeps amazing me
i agree, he makes sx sound like a high school band
you just made my day Sir :) though they could still clap the fourths :)
Tremendo registro ❤️
i love mike. p's playing sooooooo much....
I could swear this song was longer on the album...
Michael Pinella is the man!
ESP M-II with EMG's. God how would I give for one like this.
lol mike has the jerry seinfeld look!! classic metal uniform. black tight pants and white sneakers!!!
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
Awesome, the band members of Blind Guardian are at the backstage area!
The destination is up to you!
🤘🏽🤘🏽🤘🏽🤘🏽🤘🏽
all hail symphony x, the best prog band out there right now.
Russell Allen has to have the best fashion sense ever.

❤
Very good
Nice shorts ;)
i still cant over this song lol, the drums has got FUCKING NICE sound!!
from new jersey
they cant dress
but god damn they are epic
this song is so ethereal
brings back memories
Look at 0:50 behind Pinella, you will be able to se Marcus from Blind Guardian.
He does not ruin their stuff. I find it more tasteful live, even if it's not as perfect.
they play perfectly....
indeed indeed
Welcome to the progressive world bro' ;)
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

Comparisons are not a problem themselves, dumb comparisons are.
There are ways for doing good and positive comparisons.
agreed
hahaha look the lepond face in the chorus!!!
pinnella's mix is really good in this video!
If louder than everything else is "really good" then sure haha...
@@AJDOLDCHANNELARCHIVE LOL
@@AJDOLDCHANNELARCHIVE Way better than Iconoclast / Underworld :)

lol

This is actually one of their more mellow sounding songs. But listen to The Accolade 1 and 2, those are their "ballads"
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!
Russ looks like Bill Bailey :D
