I know Symphony X would love to do a concert with an orchestra but I'd prefer it to not be on any forthcoming DVD's. I mean, come on, where's Michael Pinnela gonna fit in then- he does the orchestra kind of bits and an orchestra ussually ruins it for some people as well. Look at Metallica's S&M and the live Scorpion's DVD- it'd be better without all that wussy orchestra stuff. Ok I know it's just my opinion....
but I'm also making a point, look...
Symphony X release DVD of them playing with a full orchestra-
20,000 people buy it because they like it,
10,000 don't buy it because they hate orchestras = Bad.
instead
Symphony X release DVD with just them kicking ass on stage-
30,000 people buy it and are happy
0 don't buy it because there's no reason not to = Good!
[Obviously those numbers are just made up stuff- I don't know how many they'd really sell]
I'm just saying -with no orchestra- more people are happy.
