    Iconoclast: News/Info Thread

    I just don't know what to make of the fact that there is a track called "Lords of Chaos".

    Is V the quintessential Symphony X disc?

    For the sake of a short, yet concise answer, I get goosebumps whenever I listen to anything off of V. I feel like the gates to another time and dimension have been opened and I feel empowered with the awesome dark vibe and speedy aggression on this album. Not to mention that the musicality...

    Iconoclast: News/Info Thread

    Anyone know exactly what bass Mike LePond is using now? I'm pretty sure it's a Peavey by the looks of it but I'm not sure which one it is.

    "What do you do for a living?" Thread

    I'm just a kid who listens to black metal and goes to a music school. Basically I do homework and play cello all day.

    Bernd Steidl

    Just wondering if anyone has listened to this guy before besides me. I have his album "Psycho Acoustic Overture" and have no idea if he ever did anything else, but it's a very unique album, and top notch playing. I'd definitely give it a listen if you are into neo-classical guitar playing, Al...

    What Are Your Top 10 Symphony X Songs?

    In no order: Communion and The Oracle Bird Serpent War/Cataclysm Egypt Fallen Evolution Church of the Machine Divine Wings of Tragedy Absinthe and Rue Of Sins and Shadows Whispers or Edge of Forever (split decision) I would have also loved to include Odyssey and the rest of V (fools...

    What is your favorite prog rock band? (no prog metal here)

    I'd definitely have to say I agree with whoever it was that said Ozric Tentacles, and I'd also like to mention the band Gryphon, which I love more than anything.

    Man I actually used to go in that Guitar Center where he worked.

    The bass market

    Yeah that's what I meant. I was talking about ESP basses that are 5 strings + always feel like the spacing between the strings is too small, which is better I guess if you play with a pick. I don't really know about that many basses otherwise.

    Thomas Miller's new band Thunder's Majesty

    He probably is the most underrated bass player ever, practically nobody's even heard of the guy or are even aware that he played on those SX albums. It definitely is cool music too. By the way the Phantasm theme was actually in Entombed's "Left Hand Path" if you didn't know.

    the fuck happened to frantic bleep?

    That's some good stuff Zach, even kind of "fusiony" in parts.

    The bass market

    I always like the way ESPs sound and feel but I find the strings to be too close together on basses with more than 4 strings.

    Symphony X + Doom = AWESOME!

    Shoot man I didn't see that you asked me that. Kind of a late reply but I would use Skulltag as the main engine, if you have windows Doom Builder 2 for map editing, and XWE for editing data in the WAD file.

    Symphony X + Doom = AWESOME!

    I was actually going to mention Scythe before you guys did. I'm actually one of the most hardcore DooM players around amongst everyone I know personally. I use Skulltag for all of my mods and levels. I'm actually currently working on a mod that improves upon the work of others with the point...

    Behind the Music?

    Michael Pinnella plays the organ in a Christian church and has three kids I think. I met a bass player who said that he auditioned for Symphony X after Thomas Miller left, and found out through being friends with Pinnella's brother-in-law. Jason Rullo (who's name starts with a J) has a son who...

    V Appreciation Thread

    I can't agree more with everything that's been said on this thread. Personally for me, I think one thing I've always liked about V, is that it's got this extremely dark vibe to it throughout the whole thing. Moreso than the Odyssey or even PL. Don't know what it is exactly but the album is...

    Check out the self titled track "Thunder's Majesty" that he put up, pretty excellent!

    I'm not sure about this... I think I'd have to go with Shawn Lane.
