your fav Symphony X solo

[iishrak]

Demonspell: Couldn't agree more about your choices for best KB work! Awakenings has so much variety and Orion has like the best duel KB/GTR duel in all of Sx's library!

Aviso: I think that the overall quality of every new Sx album is the best they've done. I see this band as the bench mark for both progressive metal and neoclassical metal, so whenever they make a new album, they have just made the best progmetal album ever! I can't wait until Spring 05!!!

Favaroute guitar solos.

Accolade 2

The Odyssey-Champion of Ithaca

Too be honest, im having problems thinking of any, the perfect excuse to listen to all the Symphony X cd's again i think

Both guitar solos in Communion and the Oracle.

...I need Frontiers so bad...it sounds like it such a great song. Please SyX, release for us with the new cd.

I can understand your desire to hear it, as I was just like you before I had. It's a cool song but there is a reason it wasn't released as a standard track on any SyX album. It's because it's not a GREAT song. It's a little more RADIO FRIENDLY (to borrow a term from someone on this board) than the rest of their songs and to me it's kind of jumbled. What I mean is that it sounds a little confused in regard to it's mood, going from upbeat to somber and back without a real flow. Don't get me wrong, I like the song (especially Romeo's solo) but it's not a great song by any means and I'm sure the guys in the band realized that which led them not to include it on any album (except as a bonus track).

And before anyone flames me because Frontiers is their favorite SyX song, just remember that this is only my opinion.

[Brood of Evil]

I know it's not in a Smphony X album, but that solo from MR in Down of A Million Souls ( Ayeron ) really kicked ass. And as always, RA's vocals are amazing as ever.

Anyway, as for a SX album solo....I'd have to go and say...damn...it's to hard, I'll go and say DWOT -> Sea of Lies

 

[dargormudshark]

I forgot the keyboard solo for "A Fool's Paradise"

 

[OfSinsAndShred]

I'm gonna go with Communion and Accolade II. As well as the adaptation of Bach's Harpsichord concerto in "A Fool's Paradise."

 

[Trusse]

hard to decide, but i think the best solo will be the Accolade II solo.

 

[Ryöpsäyttelijä]

I Like Of Sins And Shadows solos maybe most. Accolade 2 is also very good..... This is very hard question because all the solos are good. SymX got no bad solos.

 

[The Yngster]

i like these threads where everyone ignores everyone elses post, post what they think, and then forget about the thread until it goes away, only to have the exact same one pop a month later

 

[magnificent melody]

Really? OK... whatever. Now what about your favorite solo? Whatsamatter, don't like ignoring everyone and just posting what you think and leaving? Yeah usually people forget about the thread until it goes away only to have this exact crappy topic make a return some time later.

BTW: I just discovered Iced Earth. Nice band!

 

[Poison God Machine]

I would say my favorite guitar and keyboard solos on the title track to Divine Wings Of Tragedy are my favorite. In many places on other parts of the album, they are like dueling guitar and keyboard solos and they sound really cool.
