I have a dream. I have a dream that one day Symphony X will receive a huge cash injection from the record company so that they can afford a really good producer for the next album. Iconoclast is the first record with a good overall sound, but it can be a lot better.

Several people independent of each other have made fun of this line, when I've played Awakenings for them: Nedless to say, another day has passed away... "if it's nedless to say, then why is he saying it?"

I only meant the first guitar solo. It's neoclassical shredding in the vein of Malmsteen, I totally agree on that. But he really mimics the tone and the feel of Romeo in a way I've never heard of before.

Wow, just realized this solo is so much in the style of Michael Romeo. The guitarist even replicated MJR's Divine Wings of Tragedy-lead guitar tone PERECTLY. Swedish band called Harmony. Guitarist is Markus Sigfridsson. Listen to the solo at 2:51 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=y41UKowgQJ4...

I totally forgot, he plays a low C#5 in the chorus: "sword and shield amidst the..." as well as prior to the guitar solo (which kicks ass btw). This entire song was probably recorded with a standard C# tuned guitar.

Thank you for taking the time figuring this out :) Using a different tuning for that particular riff could be a plausible explanation. If you compare the tone and sound of the guitars in verse 1 and verse 2 they're pretty much identical so it's probably the same guitar, or at least two...

Hi folks This forum looks pretty much dead but I'll try anyways. I'm transcribing Accolade II at the moment and to my big surprise there is a low C# in the second verse. "Returning to his land" Romeo plays C#---D#-E---F#---- And then the verse goes back in to gallop rhythm. I...

Hi folks! Some years ago I read about Pagan's Mind covering Dream Theater's famous song Under a Glass Moon at the Gates of Metal festival (2004) in Sweden. I finally got this confirmed after finding this old homepage: Es handelt sich hierbei um die norwegische Band PAGAN'S MIND, die rund...

So many references to other Evergrey songs.. It has some fresh moments, when it really feel like "New Evergrey song, fuck yeah!", but I'm not that impressed. Yet. I miss some sort of hunger that was the reason I started to listen to Evergrey.

Oh my god.. Your band needs a makeover. First of all, the little guy in the green t-shirt needs bigger arms, long hair (and I'm talking loomis-lenght) and a less tight t-shirt. He looks ridiculous. What is the guy with the BC Rich thinking? Is he playing jazz? No matter how much he love...

poo after I've smoked a cigg and then washed my hand?

Congrats Chris!!!! :Smokin:

Shit, that's really crazy!! :notworthy Yes, those seems to be the right notes. Weird though, that it's not the same as MJR's own transcription though, which makes a little bit confused.. Thanks guys! I'll upload a clip when I'm done with it. Keep -> :Smokin:

Hi folks! In the last 6 bars of the "In the Dragon's Den" solo there are a pentatonic pattern combined with a major arpeggio, repeated at three different positions. Are those arpeggios supposed to be sweeped or alt picked if you're about to it the same way as mr Romeo? Guess I'm gonna learn...

It's probably worth it. A real teacher is trained to hear and see your flaws. He may come with suggestions and advices you've never thought of before. Not only should a teacher be helping you out with your technique, phrasing, pitch, rythm, guitarknowledge (difference between mahogany or lets...
