Just curious.

Do any of you know of any famous (or well known) people who listen to Symphony x? If so, is there any where I can read some things they have said about Symphony x? Like for example an interview where lets just say Dio comments on how Symphony X are great musicians or something. I don't know something like that just seems interesting to me.

I think I heard somewhere that Malmsteen likes Symphony X...

 

[RiderOfJustice]

That wouldn't surprise me. I would love to find out Steve Buscemi or someone like that liked Symphony X.

Jari Mäenpää of Wintersun said in an interview of... 2004 that he listens to Symphony X.

Exact quote:

Which bands or artists would you name as the ones that have influenced you the most as a musician?

Jari: KISS, W.A.S.P. from the very young years. Biggest influences are probably Metallica/James Hetfield and Devin Townsend. Then I´ve just listened lots and lots of bands/artists like: Skidrow, Megadeth, At the Gates, Dark Tranquillity, Dissection, Emperor, Satyricon, Symphony X, Steve Vai, Y.J.Malmsteen, Extreme (yep, Nuno is great!)... and the list goes on...

Not really a well known guy, but hey! I look up to Jari as a god... Well almost.

 

[Kenneth R.]

I listen to SX.

There's nothing wrong with Jarism

I believe he stated that in a piece in Guitar World at one point. He also mentioned Royal Hunt in the same piece.

I also know that Alex Beyrodt of Silent Force is a big fan of Romeo.

Check his friends list...

Symphony X should contact him and setup some kinda show and he could def. give them loads of publicity. But theres a chance that halford didn't even setup his own myspace friends list so yeah lol

 

[RiderOfJustice]

Ya but still interesting.

You mean beyond the two nights they were special guests at L'amours during the Odyssey tour?

Mike Portnoy loves them, but i have nothing to prove it.

^Why does life begin at 37?

 

[Jax]

A friend whose former bandmate plays with Sammy Hagar says that Sammy digs SymX.

 

[RiderOfJustice]

Awesome!

In some article, they made Malmsteen listen to various bands and guitarists so he could give his opinion about them. He said that Romeo "could play", and that Symphony X were clearly influenced by himself. I bet he secretly bought all albums after this interview and raged at Romeo surpassing him.
