Symphony X and Dream Theater!

[DoomsdayZach]

I don't think Luis was making an anti-Dream Theater statement; he probably just meant that Symphony X shouldn't open for any band.

Let's try to not make this into a versus thread. Hell, if I lived in Europe, I'd be out drinking already, celebrating this awesome news. It's not often that two great bands get to tour together.

i already tried. it phail'd

I think they should each play for 12 hours.

 

[Detective Clarence Beauregard]

Except that a band that should never be an opener is STILL opening for a band who should never have an opener.

I'll agree with that, but sometimes you just have to take what you can get.

 

[progmetaldan]

Anyway, he didn't say higher, he just said SymX was a high calibur band...

 

[rockyracoon]

SX should be opening for DT, for many reasons. But the main reason is that it can only help boost their fanbase. I look forward to SX seeing some positive returns on this move. It's long overdue.

Off-topic: Where are you from Neva Kee? Near to Muenster(NRW)?

Siegen in NRW, so yeah - I'm pretty close.

still waiting breathless for more dates in Europe...

 

[Wander]

Yeah, let's not whine, cause they area going to be one of the best gigs ever!

I'm already so hyped... How can I wait so many months?!

In NorCal, DT on 7/28 and Symphony X on 7/29.

I'll be popping my norcal concert cherry with these shows, after moving up there for my new job. Definitely looking forward to it.

 

[Symphoswede]

Awesome, they're playing at Hovet, Stockholm. Two of the best bands the same night. I wonder when they release the tickets...

 

[raythetse]

I think John Petrucci is an overall more talented guitarist, but michael romeo's phrasing and emotion is better...

lol, that didn't take long!!!

I sure hope someone has the smarts to record and release one of the shows....even if it comes out as a Christmas CD or official bootleg.

The question is, what DT song would you like to hear SX cover, and vice versa? I wouldn't mind hearing DT play "Through the Looking Glass" and SX play "Voices." It would be great if the two bands would get together and play something to close the show (the way DT did with Queensryche). But what to cover....?

 

[Matt]

Romeo writes better songs too.

That would be awesome to hear those 2 bands play a cover together! Maybe a medley, together would be killer!

 

[wchuck]

I hope they don't come to Berlin together and as it seems they won't

 

[BlisteringDDj]

The best progressive metal bands in one concert!
The ticket-sale for DT and SX in Oslo is opening tomorrow =D

Does anybody know if there is an age limit?
