Live rhytam guitar?

You know what would be cool ? If Symphony X started this whole reality T.V. show called ' RYTHM FOR THE X ' where they call out thousands of guitar players who audition, then whoever gets past the ridiculously hilarious audition stages are divided into 4 groups where they have to battle it off to the finals.. and the winner gets to BE in Symphony X ! As the Rythm guitarist and as a new member to the band ! And thats not all ! They get a sponsorship from Ibanez, Mesa Boogie, and Planet Waves for a lifetime of free gear !
That, would be.. cool.. except totally sell out.. maybe.. but it would get the band crap loads of publicity !
 
you totally missed the point.ONLY for Live shows, and some parts.A side man,not a fulltime member.Romeo plays some short but great riffs in certain songs and without rhytam guitar it sounds empty.It's not necesery, but it would sound better.P.S. In the beggining of "Egypt"LePond plays only straight D note, no fills

I think we got the point... we just disagreed. We're allowed to do that on teh intarwebz. It's not a personal insult when we don't share the same point of view as you bro.
 
Screw you guys, I'm goin' home.Just kiddin'.
Anyway, I must say that the new album is so good, that when it comes out officially I will buy five copies.With the risk of beeing banned I HAVE TO SAY THAT PARADISE LOST IS ONE OF THE BEST ALBUMS I HAVE EVER HEARD IN MY LIFE.
 
On the album, you're right. Live, he plays fills at the end of each fourth measure. They mimic Romeo's lead a little bit.

I just can't think of enough situations where a second guitarist would come in handy live.

other than rhythm under the solos, and maybe some cool harmonics (one guitar plays a higher harmonic whil eht eother plays a lower one) yeah it wouldn't really help much

There are a few guitar harmonized leads but i;m sure live pinnela just plays one of the leads anyway so its not necessary in any way.
 
ive heard thats how petrucci plays so good on the albums but when he plays live he messes up the solos, like As I Am at Budokhan!

He plays very nice live, but you have to admit that one can't always play perfect live.I haven't notice any mistakes in " As I am " at Budokan in the solo, he only missed the feedback at the beggining.At "live scenes from New York" he totally missed the sweep in "fatal tragedy".
P.S. Don't forget about the jet-leg.o_O

when hes doing the chromatic fast alternate picking section in the solo he hits a couple of duff notes, but he plays a 3 hour set almost perfectly, i wasn't really criticising him lol :D
 
i think for all the things JP blows in a show, he nails about 200 more things that very few people in the world can, so lets not worry too much about that!
