Phrygian mode is such a cool mode because of it's Egyptian sound to it. The beginning of the solo to "In the Dragon's Den" (the interlude at 1:57-2:09) is a perfect example of Romeo using the Phrygian mode. He plays a C# harmonic minor scale, but starts on G# making it G# phrygian.

Anybody else have examples of the use of Phrygian mode in Romeo's solos or in Symphony X's music?
 
Not to bitch; but that scale is called Phrygian Dominant. Phrygian is the third mode of a major scale. but yeah; Phrygian Dominant sounds really cool.
