The most amazing Symp. X moment

[The Metal Chick]

I have to say the end of The Odyssey:
"I have returned to make my dreams come true"
I love it! A happy ending!

Next is definetely the part SilentRealm mentioned.

I also think the beginning verses of Through the Looking Glass are beautiful with Russell singing over the piano.

 

[arglebargle]

This one time where Symphony X was in concert AND LIKE OMG I THREW MY BRA AT JASON RULLO BUT IT MISSED AND OMG HIT RUSS IN THE FACE AND MICHAEL ROMEO SHREDDED ON HIS GUITAR WOW!!!!!!!!!

 

[SilentRealm]

OH MY GOD I CANNOT BELIEVE I HAVE NEVER HEARD LOTEOF'S TTLG BEFORE!!!!

this whole thing is superb!!!!! when he starts talking to the audience.. then the bit where he says "She's not afraid!" oh god..

 

[SilentRealm]

and the beginning (in my mind its bluesy..what else is it) of Awakenings, the pianoey bits... thats so nice. i hope they do more of that..

 

[ElPredicador]

Candlelight fantasia:
In twilight, and faded time
Spirits cold, with no love
Bells ring a lonely chime
Candle fires
These lit dreams can't burn alone

 

[Polyeidus]

Try 'In The Shadow Of Our Pale Companion' by Agalloch at 11.59
'For To End Yet Again ' by Arcturus (whole song , check it plz if you don't know it yet)

I don't have any of that, but I'll check it out as soon as someone is kind enough to point me in the right direction!

 

[Ellfish]

There's just too many awesome moments in their songs, I don't know what to type. I'll just mention the song I'm listening to right now, The Odyssey. I just love the part where it goes:
Triumphant - Champion of Ithaca
I will right all the wrongs
Let the Gods sing my song
Triumphant - Champion of Ithaca
Let a new life begin
my journey has come to an end.
Probably my favorite part of the entrie song.

 

[Marre79]

Well I have to say that My personal "moment" has to be the song "Evolution (The Grand Desing)" when I first heard this song I went all NUTS!!!!!!!!!!

 

[nataservant]

My favorite moment would be when I bought "The Odyssey" It's the first time I heard of them and the first album I have gotten from them and I love it.

 

[symphonyXjapan]

Well the first time I heard Evolution and Fallen was special because those are the songs that got me to love SX so much. But lately the best moment for me is the chorus in "The Edge of Forever", I just with they would redo that whole album because the sound quality is not so great. I think that album has a lot of potential and is not given enough credit, I love Russ's voice on it.

Most beautiful moment: end of TDWOT ("Looking out...")
Most raging moment: intro to Incantations of the Apprentice
Most awesome guitar solo(s): Of Sins and Shadows
Best keyboard solo: Rediscovery, Part 1
Most awesome joint guitar & keyboard solo: The Turning
Most awesome drumming moment: Death of Balance
Best vocal moment: TDWOT

Most awesome bass moment (LePond): has to be Egypt

That's my 2 cents.

 

[Avathar]

the second part of the "odyssey" just before the duel solos, when i first heard it i almost masturbated... i dont know if anyone know what part im talking about...it's right in the minute 7:35 - 7:40....just awesome!

 

[Spellbound]

The beginning and the end of TDWOT (of course: "Looking out on a blue sky...")

The first two minutes of "The Odyssey" ( )

The beginning of "Awakenings" (needless to say.... another day has passed aaaaaway)

The piano solo at the end of Egypt

Almost all the vocal and keyboard melodies on Through the Looking Glass

A Winter's Dream, the whole song

Death of Balance/Lacrimosa

The chorus on "Fallen"

The middle part of "The Accolade" when it starts with clean guitar and all the instruments come one after another... When the piano enters the scene.... it gives me loooooooots of chills

 

[Avathar]

The middle part of "The Accolade" when it starts with clean guitar and all the instruments come one after another... When the piano enters the scene.... it gives me loooooooots of chills

I KNOW!!! there are 5 keyboards, the clean guitar and the bass doing different melodies and PERFECT HARMONY....just genious!

[Luis]

I KNOW!!! there are 5 keyboards, the clean guitar and the bass doing different melodies and PERFECT HARMONY....just genious!

Yeah, that part is an excellent demonstration of Counterpoint... If Bach lived he would be proud.

 

[DestrwidoR]

Right!
in The Odyssey when it enters for the second time in

"Triumphant - Champion of Ithaca
I'll right all the wrongs
Let the Gods sing my song
Triumphant - Champion of Ithaca
Let a new life begin
This is the end of my Odyssey"

and later

"Seems like forever
That my eyes have been denied
Home - I'm finally home
It's been twenty years away from all I ever knew
I have returned to make my dream come true "

That's Awesome!

 

[the_satanic_rabbit]

The second guitar solo in Communion and the Oracle and the part that comes after it, ending with "In the waves hear the rhyme"

 

[Serge...]

SOOOO MANY

TDWOT: "Standing on the edge...", "With strength of infinite measure"
Smoke and Mirrors: After the second chorus, the slow guitar riff, on the live cd where Russell sings along.
Odyssey: "So this is home..."
Inferno: "The endless nights..."
Edge of Forever: "Draaaaped in a silken glow...."
Of Sins and Shadows: "Right before the solo, the solo itself, and how the 2 connect"
The Relic: Chorus

There's more, but whatever.
