an idea to promote symphony x

[balita]

Hello people! Already tried to post this earlier today but it just didn't work :/
Anyway let me briefly introduce myself. As you can see I'm new to the forum, but guys here who also post on dt.net, jp.com and jemsite may know me as samsomething. I own a 2027x if that helps

Straight to the point.
There is a superb Playstation 2 game available now - released March or April 2005 in the US, couple days ago here in France - called God Of War. Months ago, as I was watching trailers and multiple teasers of it, the epic score stroke me as being close to what kind of orchestrations symphony x themselves would compose. From then, I knew something had to be done.
This might seem a bit late to American members since the game has been released there for months now, but still! Yesterday, I asked my local video game shop if they could help give the band some free advertising: putting flyers on the shelve next to the game, playing CDs well that kind of thing. They liked the idea, which definitely gave me some more motivation!
Now please let me know what you think about it, wether you're willing to go to local shops where you live, help in creating a "fly-ad-er', etc
Thanks for your time!

how does that game relate to SX in any way?

thats like saying "lets put bodom cd's next to super mario the music sounds the same."

heheh

The whole "God of War" game has to do a lot with Greek mythology, I think that's where the connection comes in.

OH OK. i was wondering how they were at all related to the game.

 

[balita]

oh yeah, my fault!
the whole game in set in the greek mythology. As the player progresses, he'll face Hydras, Gorgones, Minotaurs etc. Really something to experience, even if video games isn't your thing.

im up for it, ive visisted an EB games, and 2 gamestops already

Sounds pretty wicked. I've also always thought SX's music (not the lyrics) fit well with the Resident Evil games, too.

well the eb games guy said hed get back to me, and both the gamestops said "bring it on dude" and i thought it was kinda weird they accepted so easily and then he said "anything to bring new people into our shops" (the casheer liked metal so im sure he did some persuading of his manager, hah)

and yes my bands name Vaijra does come from Hindu mythology, we're greatly interested in ancient mythology stuff such as SX. kick ass cat name.

and my brother has photoshop on his computer, so when hes out im willing to do what i can with this. email me, or instant message me on AIM (my names MattersOfTheDark) with some ideas and such.
