    Worst gig?

    SRV !!!! Raw, unrefined talent..yeah. I can agree about Kamelot. Of soooo many concerts in my life, the one Kamelot show at Jaxx on the Black Halo tour was like nothing I ever experienced before. I couldn't shake it for weeks.

    Espen, who was Circus Maximus' original keyboardist is on the CD. I like the video.

    Worst gig?

    Black Sabbath's first show in America. Ozzy was scared shitless and spent most of the show hiding behind the speaker cab smoking cigs. And....the guys couldn't play. baaaaaad. Am I showing my age? You betcha.

    Where does SX go from here?

    I may get slammed for my comments. I think the band does not show their true talent potential in the new music. I base my opinion on live shows more than recorded work. I think they will always create great music. True talent will prevail, I've always felt this way. I and my family have...

    Show us your SymX photos! (not for the dialup challenged..)

    I am looking for the photos / vid taken by a person at the Obsessions NiteClub the night before 9-11. I think the band had someone take these, there were tripods in front of the stage. Anyway, best show we've ever seen and it sure would be some great memories from quite a few years ago. Yo, you...

    Therion

    Therion - one of those bands that you either love or hate. Music is unique and intense. I have to be in the mood, but there is nothing like cranking Therion up in the car for a nice drive.....kinda just takes you away. Definitely worth checking them out.

    Symphony X: Trouble in Paradise

    Jeremy says "it's called mastering", and this is true but a fact that must be understood is the nature of digital technology and the requirements for CD quality sound which must adhere to industry standards. Anyone who has not been exposed to the results of analog recording and older noise...

    Paradise Lost: Your Opinion

    For awhile I thought I sure wouldn't want to wait this long for new music and then be disappointed. And I'm not at all. I think it's amazing. But I still enjoy V more than anything they ever created. Russ worked hard to get this aggressive voice just right....man he got it down to perfection...

    I think Mr. Romeo lost a good bit of weight. He's looking great.

    Serpents Kiss music video!!

    I think it's great, finally have a chance to see the band in a video. The camera changes don't bother me, but the in-out focus was a bit annoying at places.
