Yeah that's true, though I said that because I can't hear that much keys on PL - although there are great moments like the title track and Domination, there's much less keys on that album than the other ones... Anyhow, it will be a legendary album nonetheless, keys or not...this is Symphony X...

Hmm, Russ stating that Iconoclast will be way more intense than Paradise Lost, and that it'll contain much more heavy riffage and harsh vocals, can only mean we'll see less of Mike Pinnella's epic keyboard moments...*sigh*

I pretty much agree with what you said about King of Whitewater...but what is the "white" in "whitewater" supposed to refer to, how is this water white?

So hard to decide what my favourite bit is! Meh, I'll just say that the whole song is my favourite bit ;-) However, a standout part for me is V - A Turn for the Worse ("A swerve to clear the Hondo stone / Now we proclaim it known / took us off course came too wide of Mars to turn back home")...

I agree, the album is bloody fantastic (and the end of TGE made me teary, haha). However, out of respect for the band and their wishes, I think it would be a better idea to just wait until Dec 3rd to rave endlessly about the album...although it sounds like most people on here have heard it...

Yeah, a Great Escape shirt would be sweet, how about the hourglass ones the guys are wearing in the vid, i want one too :grin:

some people are just jealous of epic shredtastic bass arpeggios...arpeggibass

No problem, as long as it's OK with SW :p By the way, Andreas and/or Johan, I'm having a bit of trouble with the verses, as it seems as though some notes on the guitar go below Eb...or is that the bass playing the root notes of those chords, with the guitar playing the higher notes? Thanks so...

Cool, thanks guys! Although transposing the tab into Eb seems to mess things up, I think I may have written too low...which is strange, because the tab I've written out seems to be in the same key heard in the vid...ah well, I'll try and figure it out :lol:

Ok, strange though, because I've written the tab with the guitars tuned down to B, and there's an open B string at some stage...maybe it's supposed to be 7 string tuning, although Johan plays with a 6 string in the vid...confused...

Haha yeah, nothing worse than getting bored of the song by the time the album's released...but then again, is it even possible to get bored of that song?

Hey all, Woo! First post! :) Just like to say that I'm a huge fan of SW, you guys are awesome. Really can't wait for the new album, especially after watching/listening to the Alley Cat vid, so I've decided to pass the time by tabbing out the song to play with my band, haha :rock: Doing pretty...
