I got Entropia and it blew me to pieces .. Didn't get the same reaction listening to the other albums though.

Like most other countries, Symphony X is relatively unknown here in Malaysia. However, there are a few of us who are totally into the them, along with the usual prog/power/death metal bands like DT, Arch Enemy, Children of Bodom etc. There's even a local metal store here which imported the...

Yeah, it truly rocks !! What is your guitar setup like ? Your tone is simply amazing .. :hotjump:

I'll vouch for Mattias Eklundh. This guy is so good, its scary. He also appeared as one of the producers for Fredrik Thordendal's solo album (Sol Niger) of Meshuggah fame. Favourite albums are definitely Spanking Hour and Appetizer. Have yet to check out Move though ..

Any tips on how I can adjust the intonation of my neck ? Do I adjust the screws located underneath the neck piece ? My guitar is a Yamaha YG612 with Floyd Rose. I've tried lowering the bridge previously to get the action lower, but that was when the buzz started occuring. It seems to be...

Wow, great thread. Thanks alot for the recommendation guys. If anyone is interested in flashy classical music, check out Nicola Paganini's Caprices. Almost every single one of Yngwie's classical sounding licks were stolen from here :)

Gotta agree with Stardust. Divine Wings would be the closest album to Odyssey stylistically. Once you're done with that, get Damnation Game, V, Twilight in Olympus, S/T and of course, the Live in TEOF album. If you have the cash, get Prelude to the Millennium, a Japanese/Korean only release...

Nevermore - Believe in Nothing (great hard hitting stuff for a ballad) Armageddon - Well of Sadness (Chris rules!)

How would you guys compare Derek's first two albums with Planet X ? I only have Universe so far (Moonbabies is on its way), and I think its a terrific album. Also, is Live in Oz worth getting ?

How do you lower your action without getting a buzz on the strings when u fret notes ? I'm not sure if my neck is warped, but whenever I try and lower my action, I get this irritating buzz. To avoid it, I end up raising my action pretty high. Any ideas ?

Came across this post made by Neil K. and thought I'd share this with everyone : This is how I describe Meshuggah. As opposed to bands like Cryptopsy, TIP. Spiral Architect etc. who play fast and furious (widdly widdly stuff), going from section to section without really locking into a set...
