    Disque gone?

    What's up with the store? I ordered a CD months ago (not Sun Caged BTW), got a wrong CD, sent it back and never got anything after that....when I checked the site a while ago, it read that the online shop was closed due to maintenance, and when I mailed them about my CD I got no reply. And now...

    Have you read the book "The Odyssey" by Homer?

    I have read a few translations of it, and have translated several parts from the original Greek version in highschool, as well.

    Romeo is endorsing Caparison guitars now

    Let's hope it improves his tone, then. BTW, don't you guys just HATE that annoying font they use on those Japanese webpages? It's like you really have to TRY to read what's written.

    So, what other bands do you Symphony X fans enjoy?

    I'll stick to stuff I'm liking recently: Dave Matthews Band Bumblefoot Shawn Lane Winds ---------->>>>>>> You SyX fans should actually give this band a try, they're pretty good. they utilize a string ensemble, there's shred, but they've omitted the cheesy power metal stuff.....it's...

    Michael Moore and Freedom

    I find it quite astounding how you are stating rumours as if they were facts, in the same way the Bush administration has done. No hard proof has ever been found that Al-Qaida was linked to Iraq in any way. If you think so, you've just been inclined to do so by the American media which are...

    V - The new Mythology Suite

    I personally find V the only Symphony X album were they almost permanently stray away from the formulaic songwriting... And thus I consider it their best album, by far. It's easy to play from beginning to end, which I (almost) never do with any other SyX album - the other albums all have one or...

    Favorite Sun Caged song

    The original version of Sun Caged (the song) was pretty extreme metal-ish; if you combine that with melodic vocal lines n stuff, people are gonna like that. Besides, the guitar solo totally rules.

    SyX live in Amsterdam yesterday

    Of course they rocked the house man, I was just nitpicking a bit. I don't know what you look like, but I think I saw you jumping around at the front near Russell.:grin:

    SyX live in Amsterdam yesterday

    So, the concert was great, very tight and energetic playing. Some of the songs I must admit I'm not a big fan of (Wicked, King of terrors) sounded awesome in a live setting, very powerful. The setlist was the same as the previous gigs, and I still think it to be a little bit short. I mean, 1,5...

    20th of October Symphony X @ The Effenaar in EIndhoven

    Yeah, I'm going. Setlist seems a bit short indeed, though. And I'd love some more of their more "proggier" songs.

    Which album do you pick?

    Of course I didn't mean that they actually SHOULD redo all their stuff, but the topic of the thread was about the hypothetical case where you'd choose which album you'd want redone. And you're right, it's their music. But I still don't like the production if you consider their style of music...
