Band's name?

[Your god]

Is it Symphony X or SymphonyX?

Why did they choose that name, because they have a Symphonic/epic/prog/power metal sound?

I would most certainly assume so.

 

[Ultimate_Symphony]

The name is Symphony X and as Requiem said I assume that they picked the name symphony because they use a symphonic/neo-classical aproach.

 

[XandDTFan]

I thought it was because they all used to play in the symphony at one point.

i asked Romeo, and he answered something like "it fits the band"

I think it's obvious they called themselves 'symphony' because they like rap music.

Michael Romeo's biggest influence- the famous rapper called

It's a heavy music thing. You know:

Kings X
Static X
Planet X

Etc, etc....

I think it's a warning label for heavy music.

RequiemX, that's probably the best answer I've ever heard to a question.

You're forgetting the best one (and probably the influence for Romeo to have the X in his bands name): RACER X!!!

You decide.

Eternity X - The Edge is the greatest prog metal album ever released, IMO.
