Favorite Michael Romeo solo (Please choose 1 if possible)

[Serge...]

Of Sins and Shadows. Two reasons
1. It's the solo that got me into Symphony X.
2. That part right after the string skipping where Romeo bends the high note and adds whammy.

Of Sins and Shadows was my first ever Symphony X song, but I really like the solo in Sea of Lies, that song has a special meaning to my life so thats probably why I like it the best.

 

[Yngtchie Blacksteen]

I really love the two Accolades, they're both great.

 

[BastrdDrmr]

Second solo in Awakenings just after the 1st chorus.

 

[Prismatic Sphere]

Dawn Of A Million Souls

His best Symphony X solo ...I'd say "Dressed To Kill" always floored me.

 

[Alexander TG]

It shouldn't be but I'm also saying dawn of a million souls, I also think Russell sounds better than he does with SymX on this song. I think the production has a lot to do with this, perhaps money bags Arjen enabled this fancy production but I've never liked SymX production, especially the awful drum sound, yuk! If SymX had a drum sound like DT on Scenes they would be much more dynamic.

My favorite is Sea of Lies. I think it is his most memorable, and it definitely shows off his incredible chops.

I'll have to second that. I was just yesterday thinking how the albums would sound with better drum production.

Ayreon - Dawn Of a Million souls

Hands down, his best shit so far.

 

[FLechdrop]

Does anyone know a link where I can hear the solo to Dawn of a Million Souls? I want to hear it as about half of everyone replying to this thread said it's the best he's done.

Buy Ayreon - Flight Of the Migrator

 

[The Yngster]

The last solo of Awakenings, Accolade II, Of Sins and Shadows, The Turning (whole middle section) are my favs

 

[OfSinsAndShred]

Smoke and Mirrors for me. I think it's Romeo and Pinella's best lead duel section.

Runner up - Masquerade after the guitar/bass tapping part. The transition into that pure metal section just kicks me square in the face!

 

[Wicked Inferno]

sea of lies

o how i love tapping

Dawn Of A Millions Souls

I have made a guitar tab of it... www.mysongbook.com

It has mistakes in it but the melody is almost correct...

 

[minstrel_of_metal]

sea of lies and accolade II, just so awsome!

 

[Medusa's eyes]

Dawn of a million Souls, Communion and the Oracle, The Turning, etc....

 

[Dustro25]

Wow am I the only Edge of Forever Lover
thats my vote...

Although I too wish Symphony X had better production (especially that drum sound on Odyssey)... I think DT's Scenes has weak production as well (especially the drums)... I'd like to hear Symphony X with production like on Zero Hour's "The Towers of Avarice" (especially the drums!
