Petition for SX to do phantom of the opera.

[yeet_SAY_jama]

they should shred the fuck out of this song on their new cd. If they dont, i will kill myself.

/signed

Naw seriously though, i can just imagine them conquering this song. Twould be cool.

 

[zakk_hate_me_666]

killing yourself is a bit extreme. just buy nightwish and listen to it, even though sx would kick ass.

 

[control-denied777]

that would suck!

 

[dargormudshark]

yeah, that would be lame....I would want to hear them do Princes of the Universe more than anything. But, overall....no covers, there originals are what make me want the cd's not a cover.

 

[Kenneth R.]

except Phantom of the Opera isn't a song but an entire musical, unless you meant the main "theme"...

still, i think the band has already got a subject matter in mind seeing how they are working on the album.

 

[Yngvai X]

Whats the point? Do we really need yet another band covering this?

I still stand by my comment that the two most awesome covers they could ever do would be Savage by Cacophony and Cemetary Gates by Pantera.

+1 for Cemetary Gates

 

[dargormudshark]

those 2 would be cool...but I stand by Princes of the Universe

This got me thinking about the position of the fan here. I'm not sure about the purpose of telling a band "please do a cover of...". It's something of a personal thing for the band, they do as they wish. You just can't tell them what to do, unless THEY open a survey or something. I dunno, on the other hand, it's fun for us to vote, but it would be kind of impossing. Anyone care to shed some light into this?

 

[ThornsOfSorrow]

I think it's okay to suggest that a band cover a certain song, as long as they're not being pushy about it. However, how would they cover the Phantom of the Opera theme without a female vocalist?

 

[v01c354nd51gn5]

a big ol' "eh" to the overall thing.

 

[ElPredicador]

eh

I think the OP was requesting that SyX cover Iron Maiden's song "Phantom of the Opera". Not the musical. That would just be gay!

I liked the musical very much, saw it in vienna....
the music just wouldn't fit to symphony X style (i'm thinking of the main theme here). I wouldn't say it'd be gay.... just weird....

 

[OfSinsAndShred]

Holyhell (The band with Joe freakin' Stump that's opening for Rhapsody and Manowar at the moment) covered the Phantom theme. It kicked ass.

 

[scanner313]

Well, I guess I should retract my statement as I was out of line. I haven't heard any of the complete score to Phantom of the Opera, so I shouldn't have commented that it was gay. I was drawing from most other musicals I've heard music from (i.e. Titanic) and most of it was quite gay. for musicals I don't think that's a bad thing, but I just don't see how they could be converted to metal. I guess I'm just not interested to find out, that's all I'm saying. Hey, maybe it would be awesome, who knows.

 

[ThornsOfSorrow]

scanner313, you should listen to Nightwish's cover of The Phantom of the Opera. I'm not sure what the original sounded like, but this version is definately not gay! But like I said before, I can't picture Symphony X covering this song.

Why don't they do their own interpfretation of 'The Phantom of the Opera'-subject, like they did it with The "Blood-Duchess" Erzebeth Bathory in "The Damnation Game" or the "Divine Comedy" by Dante in DWot.

What I would appreciate most would be an interpretation of Milton's "Paradise Lost"

i didnt know that was a cover.... who did it first?

Bathory-Dressed to Kill (I'm pretty sure)

Paradise Lost (not Dante)-DWOT
