Would you have discovered Symphony X without the Internet?

[yeet_SAY_jama]

I know i wouldnt have.

im convinced that id still be listening to Nu-metal......

 

[Ciarrai]

Yep, because I discovered them when I saw them open for Blind Guardian last November.

 

[The Yngster]

Nope, I wouldn't be into metal if it wasn't for the internet. I'd possibly be listening to nu-metal, but definitely underground stuff.

 

[MorphineChild205]

No. I love my internet.

 

[karelrulez]

hmm.. Maybe.. I would have discovered Ayreon, and maybe via that to Symphony X.

 

[nckissfan]

most likely not. The internet has been very good for music. I have discovered a lot of cool bands, that I would never have found out about, if it were not for the net.

 

[Dado-x]

Nope.

 

[Pharaoh]

Yes, because we have a record store near us and he carries loads of obscure stuff, lets anyone listen before buying. Very cool. That's where my wife found Symphony X.

 

[The Metal Chick]

I would have because my brother is the one who tells me about bands...not so much anymore though because now I'm getting into using internet for music.

I got my first SyX CD (TDWOT) through my old job. I worked for D'Addario strings and they had sent in the CD to our A&R guy who asked me to listen to it as he wasn't really into metal and wanted to know if it was any good. I was blown away on the first listen. I then used the internet to find out as much about them as I could and also to order their 2 other CD's (Damnation Game and the s/t were the only others at the time). I used the internet to keep me informed of all their other releases as well, except for V, which I also got through work. I was going through the pile of CD's one day and found it. I thought I hit the jackpot! It was great!

 

[SilentRealm]

well i discovered syx through someone else, but i dont think he would have discovered them if it werent for the net, so indirectly no.. but.. i wouldnt have the same love for them without having heard all their music which i know bands arent big on file sharers..but when used properly theyre a beneficial tool, if it werent for file sharing i would not have discovered soooooooooo much which i then proceeded to buy or am still waiting on saving enough money to buy.. so the net morphed me into what i am today, full on metalhead.

 

[Dave - Power of Omens]

I did... I found them in a local CD shop in the export section before I was ever really big into the net. I loved the cover, and asked the sales guy what they sounded like.... his comment was, "Like Yngwie, but better" ...so after twisting my arm, I bought it.

My first disc from them was The Damnation Game.

[Demonspell]

No, there are very few bands I have discovered through avenues other than the net...

 

[Grom Hellscream]

Yes.

 

[Djm]

Yes, I would have. Like most of the music I enjoy now, I heard it on a radio show that used to be on here in Detroit, before looking on the net.

The dj played the entire V album in full.

 

[The Stormbringer]

No way, because I actually discovered the whole Metal world outside Blind Guardian just through the internet.

 

[RequiemX]

Nope. All good bands I've found have been on the net.

 

[HellFire]

I wouldnt of ,in fact their are so many factors that got me into sx it will blow your mind....

 

[Manga-San]

Let's see. Before I got into the net, my favorite band was Tool. I discovered Dream Theater on the net, then everything kind of branched from there. So, no, without the internet, I would not have found the greatest band in existance...

 

[Kate Bush Rules!]

No, I wouldn't have found out about a lot of my fav bands on the net. I would probably still be limited to classic rock (of course i still like that stuff).
