I just hope I don't bump into anyone at the show, then.

@GrandBazaar: Did you get those reviews from Amazon or something? I wouldn't trust that at all.
When V came out, it seemed that nearly all Symphony X fans agreed it was their best effort so far. It's got a "wholeness" about it that wasn't present on any of the other albums.
Not that the other albums are bad (I think all apart from the first are fantastic), but there's just a real solid idea running all the way through that V (although I do feel it gets a little weaker towards the end, but this is only because most of the album is so amazing, no one cold maintain such a level of brilliance over 12 or so songs).
Plus, if what you like about Sym X is their ability to create very orchestral moments and great segues, V is definitely the album for you.

stop calling that album "v", call it "5". "v" it's me!!!

Erm...that wasnt exactly...funny....

 

[mourningstar]

if what's funny for the happy um fellows is showed in the joke thread, i'm glad that was not

 

[metalfox]

The joke thread is a joke by itself, I think it sucks, really sucks.
I don´t post everyday, thanks god i don´t see threads like the jokes one everytime, .....

 

[grandbazaar]

[Ultima Ibanez Overlord]

v.

Val, Ade actually mistakenly pronounces it "vee", despite my having pointed out that in almost every song the band refer to the number 5. Some people...

Hey people, Other than Metal Bands, What is your favorite band??
Mine is The Tea Party.

Just wondering what kind of stuff people listen to, other than Metal.

 

[lizard]

garsh...

Tea Party
Porcupine Tree
Moe.

I know I'll think of others as soon as I post this. I need coffee!

 

[Ultima Ibanez Overlord]

Hmm, I listen to a lot of jazz fusion from people like Gambale, Garsed, Howe, Corea, Di Meola, etc.
But two of my favourite non-metal bands are Toto and Genesis, who I'm going to listen to right now

@Jax: nah, I'll be sitting on her shoulders, getting photo's of the band
Seeing SX will be amazing. Although I don't think I'll be interested in watching Straovarious. I might leave once 'the X' have played.

 

[mourningstar]

some punk,
the smashing pumpkins,
sisters of mercy,
michael jackson (old stuff)

edit: i'd better add the words "jazz" and "fusion" too, to elevate my taste.

val (jazz fusion)

There've been people doing that at every venue on this tour, though I must say that it seems most have stayed for at least part of BG's set. Personally, I've been to 3 of their shows so far (two last weekend & one at ProgPower) & haven't seen them play a note yet..

tomorrow i'll have this exam; i must admit it's pretty interesting (crisis management, economical/financial communication, public affairs, and such), but it's a great pain in the arse!!
tomorrow morning i'll look like the pic in rick's signature, no doubt. let alone next week when i'll know the results

we have the utmost faith in you. you didn't get this far by being a slacker.
or a chimp.

 

[mourningstar]

thank you, this won't make me pass the exam, but it's nice to read it

i probably got "this far" (not yet in the uk, though) by jumping on a belt conveyer.

 

[lizard]

don't sell yourself short! we/I need you to excel academically to help tilt the scales back after my lackluster college career

Hey people, tomorrow is my birthday, so I wanna see a lot of HAPPY BIRTHDAYS in there ok?????
