A REALLY REALLY GOOD QUESTION

[Horus]

This is a question that i can guarantee has been asked countless times by many Symphony X and/or Dream Theater fans have been asking for some time. Would a Michael Romeo and John Petrucci side project NOT make the world right? Would a Michael Romeo and John Petrucci side project Not be the most amazing thing to happen to the classic "2 Guitar Double Lead" since Iron Maiden or Cacophony (Marty Friedman/ Jason Becker)? In other words, to be simple, Would a Michael Romeo and John Petrucci side project make the most insane Prog. metal band ever?

i think they should duel onstage at gigantour

 

[SymphonyOfDreams]

Too different styles... Michael Romeo and Tony McAlpine would work better... or John Petrucci and Steve Morse.

 

[zakk_hate_me_666]

it would still rock

 

[Katana Overlord]

I don't think they'd work well together. To me they both sound very independant, not meant for duel guitar. It's a cool idea though.

 

[†Russel Allen†®]

Definitely Romeo and Greg Howe. That'd do a outta-my-mind killer prog solo record.

 

[WhoFooldU]

I'm all for Romeo and Paul Gilbert. Now there could be a duo to contend with. Oh and Deen Castronovo HAS to play drums.

Glenn

Yngwie--Romeo project.....Romeo slaps yingwee about the head and face....LOLOL

 

[glasscastle]

ooh wait....here's a better one....Romeo and Stephan Forte..................................dam!!!!!!!

 

[OfSinsAndShred]

I'd be all about Romeo and Yngwie. Or Romeo and Gilbert - good God.

 

[Yngvai X]

Romeo and Ron Thal (Bumblefoot).


Nuff said.

 

[control-denied777]

Definitely Romeo and Greg Howe. That'd do a outta-my-mind killer prog solo record.

i agree,greg is awesome(mac alpine is kinda stucked in Mi style arpeggio,he should stop doing that shit)

 

[WarHammer]

The styles vary quite extensively, and they both do have a very independent style. I still can't fathom the low opinions of John Petrucci and Dt in general, and I would never go as far as to say Romeo could out-duel Malmsteen. I would call that blasphemy. I think Petrucci's side projects to date have been opuses, but he never dominates the sound. He is a very gracious soloer, meaning he plays well with others.

i think they should duel onstage at gigantour

with lightsabers.

 

[bball_1523]

I don't know if it would work, but they should battle it out at gigantour haha.

Ygnwie and Romeo sounds like a perfect match.

 

[turke]

I don't think Yngwie and Romeo is a perfect match. I never liked Yngwie. But the other options mentioned here can be very interesting. Especially the "Stephan Forte" one. Or Greg Howe, Tony Mcalpine...

 

[zakk_hate_me_666]

with lightsabers.

YES!!!!

 

[Meedleyx10]

Definitely Romeo and Greg Howe. That'd do a outta-my-mind killer prog solo record.

thats an even bigger stretch than Romeo and Petrucci

 

[arglebargle]

Combining skilled guitarists is retarded... it's overkill for God's sake.

Depends on what you are thinking when you suggest a combination.

to each their own though.
