What has everydone to spread the word about SX?

[shredguitarman]

When I first found out about SX no-one else had heard of them in my area.

I knew this was totally crap for a band of SXs caliber...

So through a few music shops (I have mates working in them!!) I had them constantly play DWOT 8hrs a day to spread the word for a couple of weeks...

Can tell you the word spread so quickly I know the HMV in my area sold out in a week of all SX albums!!!

Have you guys done anything to preach SXs brilliance to the masses?

I spread the word via http://www.seismicradio.com and http://www.powershred.net

and of course word of mouth

My sphere of influence only reaches my one friend who likes prog music, since I introduced him to it (he's not a musician, so that's got to count for something, right?).

He's now a big Symphony X fan. Based upon my recommendation alone, he went out and bought V and fell in love with their music and went out and bought everything he could.

That's it, but I sure as hell talk about them a lot!

Symphony X are featured in the review section and metal links sections of my website Dangerman's Metal Forum

I don't force any music to anyone.
If I notice that someone's into Prog and hasn't heard of Symphony X yet, I ask whether they'd like a taster to check them out. And then I hope that they like and appreciate them too. If they don't it's their choice. But as for SX, I try to mention them as often as possible, because SX deserve anything that shifts them "up there"!

During my study I worked in a cd store and played them a lot. This way many people got to know them.

 

[Freak of Dreams]

A friend of mine worked at Shell...
When the boss was not around I took my records and played Symphony X and other infamous bands (have had some positive reactions, and some negative)
I too lend my records to people who would like to know the kind of music I listen...or give them an earplug if I am listening at the moment. It turns out that there are a lot of people who like Symphony X, but just never heard of them, especially songs like "The Accolade".
But hey...spreading the word

I spread the word from my friends car with a cool sound system that we just blast the music. I also say check this band out and give them a cdr of one of their cds. The second method works better though
