That entire song is one of his best Symphony X moments if you ask me. It's just too bad that the bass is so buried in the mix on that album that it's hard to hear what he's doing under the distorted parts.
Most of the bass parts on the last two albums are more subdued, because there's not much the bass can do when the guitar is chugging away on another riff-fest song (which leaves LePond only to write fills that are mostly buried in the mix, like on Heretic). But the lines LePond was playing in that video were definitely more interesting than most of the recent Symphony X bass parts. I really liked that slower lead-type groove, too. This album will definitely be high on my list of priorities; I like the medieval sound of the music, too.
All we can hope for is that the next Symphony X album will include the other guys in the writing process. I'm sick to death of the Romeo/Allen show...
