[soundgarden]

It is a rock opera featuring Russ and Daniel Gildenlow among others. Does anyoen know about this? It is 33 tracks seperated into 3 episodes.

I am at school and I can't sample teh tracks until late, late tonight

Just reading the concept... Oh boy... When is someone, other than Arjen's Human Equation, going to write a concept that isn't cheesey?

 

[OfSinsAndShred]

Wow. I have an extremely high threshold for cheese, but that concept looks lame. That music had better kick some serious ass.

 

[Metropolis Part 2]

OH Man, this concept looks like cheesy Power Metal, but I like Dragonforce and Rhapsody hahaha. By the way, it doesn't look quite as good as Ayreon. And the Ayreon covers are definitely AWESOME. The cover totally sucks and oh man, the names are not very sophsicated. I like my Rock Operas to be sophsicated, thank you very much.

 

[Kronikle66]

Cool cover art

 

[ElPredicador]

I hope these guys hold up to their reputations... I'd hate seeing Gildenlow singing some cheesy power metal... That would totally NOT rule

 

[Kenneth R.]

from what i've heard of it, Ayreon is vastly superior

 

[Androz]

King Mc Chaos gave me a laugh

You guys do realize you can scroll down to the bottom to hear samples, right?

So far it sounds pretty good.

I wonder why there was no announcements that Russ was working on this project.

 

[Metropolis Part 2]

Meh, the clips were not THAT GOOD. Maybe my liking for Russell has taken a tumble since I heard that hah

But its pretty good because of Gildenlow hahahahha, I just love the vibe of his voice.

Lol at this point anything that he sings sounds good :Spin:

 

[Metropolis Part 2]

ehh..... not quite, I didn't like some of his singing on V and The Odyssey and I always thought he had taken a style I disliked...

 

[Aqualung]

Ok ok ok ok...................... so this story starts when "Genius", a SMART heavy metal drummer imagines an alarm clock beat played on a snare and thus falls into a sort of coma????? LAME. The dude who did the site needs to work on his english too.

 

[Progbass]

The whole project is kind of weird and almost funny, but the clips sounded ok.

Maybe if MORE symphony X fans bought more CD's, then even the great singers wouldn't be forced to sing something that is less expected of them. Even singers have to make a living (especially in the PROG GENRE :Smug: ) Can't tell you how many times I hear everyone cry poverty! (and I'm not rich!)Underneath it all; it may not be his favorite thing either (I may have heard from a friend of a friend who knows the band).

 

[Liquid Tension]

I've had this disc for a while and it didn't last more then a couple of plays. Maybe you guys will like it better. I'm surprised that it's being brought up now.

mistymountaingrlrocks,

Are you serious? "a friend of a friend of the band" TOO FUNNY!

 

[karelrulez]

I like the first clip with Russell singing. That's awesome. Concept is lame though.

 

[urinalcakemix]

Its not THAT bad... at least when Russ is tearing up. It could be worse.

[off topic]

I find your sig amusing. I once saw on MTV (don't ask why I was wacthing MTV in the first place) a reality show with ozzy called "Road to Ozzfest" or something like that. I guess its like American Idol, but for metal heads. Anyways, all that I could think of while watching it was "why does metal have to be introduced into pop culture through these talentless, media whoring metal wannabe's." Most of the participants were growlers and I would honestly say that I would rather listen to rap than that mindless crap. My anger was intesified because their leader was the once great Ozzy.

Sigh.

I think Devin Townsesnd is the teacher or something on that program >_<
