Early Christmas gift from Symphony X. My favorite band of all time has just released by favorite CD of all time. Congratulations on getting in the top ten on the new progressive charts. I personally think you should be tops but we don't get a vote. Also thanks to Warren Flannagan, for...

New album based on works by Dante Aligierhi (fave!), and a concert the day after my birthday! Whoop whoop! First excitement about an album in three long years. Love album cover, love basis for lyrics, love the scavenger hunts for the hidden treats in the songs........my money is on this for...

The more time they spend touring, the less time they spend writing, practicing, mixing, recording, etc. I love to see SX live, done it several times, but that lasts only an hour or so. I have to wait 3-4 years to get an album because of the touring. Concert=one hour. Album=forever. And these...

While everyone's opinion is true, to that person, I can't disagree with Matthias more. I LOVE the direction SX has gone in, and I have listened to Iconoclast at least 100 times. Yes, I said 100, with two zeroes. I said they couldn't top Paradise Lost, but Iconoclast does, by a small margin...

Yes, Detective, YES!!!!!!! Train of Thought is the ONLY album by DT that I can even BEGIN to listen to, and even then, only occasionally. The vocals are weird in that band, sorry, fans of DT, I can't stand that type of vocals on what is supposed to be at LEAST VAGUELY metal genre stuff. But...

Thank you, Gentleman of the Snow, for posting that video of PoS's "Sisters." I've been in the market for some new CD's, since my fave band, SX, only releases one every four years or so, and I read these forum posts to get ideas of what to buy. Since I need a sample of the song longer than the...

Hmm, well my favorite books are "The Chronicles of Thomas Covenant" by Stephen R. Donaldson, but the last four books in the 10-book series are disappointing, so I put number 8 down a few pages into it and never picked it back up. But the first six books, which were released in two trilogies...

Crap, I thought I was the one that came up with the crossed arms in an X deal at the PL tour show down in Atlanta, Georgia in 2007. LOL Must have been too cheesy, no one else followed suit..........LOL

Quality Engineering Specialist.........only female in my field that I know of. Engineering degree, advanced programmer, etc. Get to program machines, set up ways to collect and manipulate data output from them. Design and build, or have stuff built, to do other stuff with. Work hand in hand...

Bravo, Intergalactic!!!!!!! I'm so sick of hearing everyone whine that SX has evolved into something different from their "V" and "Mythology Suite" days. The reason I can't stand Dream Theater (yes, you read that right, can't STAND them) is that every time I overhear something they did, it...

And the link to ProgPower USA tickets is actually a link to Wikipedia..........LOL :hypno::hypno:

In order for SX to go further, it would certainly help to play larger, um, "nicer" venues. I've seen them every time they've come to the southeastern US and it's always been a hot, dirty venue with no seating and bathrooms you would never let your children use. I'd be willing to bet some folks...

Got there right at 8:00 and the first band was announcing its last song. Either they started early or they only did two songs, I'm not sure which. Anyway, I didn't get to hear much of the band (Merwyn?); didn't even catch their name, as I was busy getting tickets and drinks. We heard Shock...

I saw two "baby doll" shirts for old art on the site, size medium. In a baby doll style, medium fits a 12 year old. Come on, please, you do have minions of female Symphony X fans out here and we all know how females spend money on fashion. A size chart is a MUST for tee shirts, folks. And a...

When the PL tour came to Atlanta, all posters and most other merch had been long gone. There was nothing left but the larger sizes of shirts. For what it's worth, SX is an American band; could we possibly save some merch for the American fans this time? Stickers, shirts, key chains, we don't...
