I suppose the answer will vary, depending on what you consider "metal." When I was a kid, I really liked Van Halen, Journey and Rush. Things evolved for me from there toward the hair bands of the late 80's and early 90's. It wasn't until I got a copy of Metallica's "...And Justice for All" on...

I've had tickets to two shows. The first time, I was prevented from attending the concert due to unpreventable circumstances. The second time, I actually got to go. The show was possibly the best concert I've seen. The band played extremely well, and put so much feeling into every moment...

Paradise Lost is my current favourite, followed closely by DWoT, The Odyssey, and V. There simply isn't a Symphony X album I don't hold in very high regard. Iconoclast is a fricken awesome album, and although there are some softer moments, I agree that the album is less dynamic than what I...

I will have to buy this new Planet X of which you speak. I love the new Symphony X. The new Dream Theater is pretty good, too, but just not my favorite. I'm really glad to see Ron Jarzombek doing more new stuff. I've been a long-time listener, but I get frustrated some times because I play...

I see it at #193 now, what happened? I never beat any of the Final Fantasy games except Mystic Quest, because it was for little kids, and FF 1, because I took my time. I came close to beating FF 5, but lost interest and sold my SNES.

Personally, DT is in my top five bands. They have always been characitures of themselves, as I strive to become myself...but they still make some really great music. ACOS was my favorite song for a very long time. The last few albums have been good enough for me to buy, but I think...

I wouldn't mind seeing a music video of the band. I am apprehensive; however, that any such endeavor could yield an insincere montage such as Dream Theater's "Lie" video. :(

I opened mine to listen to it right away, because I couldn't wait to hear it. But yeah, as soon as I got home, I made a copy on CD-R for the car and for listening to at work if I ever get left here alone, which probably won't happen, but hey- always expect the unexpected...

I would suggest "The Odyssey" as a good place to start. My first Symphony X album was "The Divine Wings of Tragedy," and although I absolutely loved it, I think "The Odyssey" is a little more rounded out and more up-to-date. Actually, the only thing I would reccomend against is getting...

I realize it's old information, but I was wondering about the relationship of the finished work with H.P. Lovecraft's works. Seems that the style of the album draws more from Lovecraft than Milton, although the content is heavily derived from Milton's Paradise Lost (thus the titular connection...

Questions: Does Paradise Lost have connections to the writings of H.P. Lovecraft? If so, which works in particular- or is it just stylistic?

+6,551,256 I'll buy the new album as soon as it's available. I'm still listening to The Odyssey on a weekly basis. Hell, I still listen to Divine Wings on a weekly basis. If you want prolific, check out Buckethead. That guy does not have a life outside of recording/touring apparently...

i love seven strings and eight strings. why use only six? caparison is coming out with a seven string. 'why tune to d?' why not? you can tune pretty much however you want to. i'm sure mjr is tuning to what he hears in his head. keys are considered to have 'absolute character,' meaning d...
