Favotire Symphony X piano passages?

bball_1523 · February 23rd, 2004, 10:35 PM

What are your guys' favorite piano passages in all of Symphony X's songs?

I like the intro the 'Orion The Hunter' that piano interlude is sweet, it pumps me up for the rest of the song.

The rythm parts to 'Communion and the Oracle' and 'Candlelight Fantasia' are pretty amazing imo.

Dude, Pinnella outdoes himself on Awakenings. That solo in the middle....rules the universe. The ending to Egypt is awesome as well.

Communion and the Oracle & Through the Looking Glass.

The ending to Egypt is AWESOME.

There are so many awesome "keyboard" parts that Pinnella does in the band, but if we're talking pure "piano" parts, it's got to be the end of Egypt.

Awakenings

SpiritCrusherX · February 24th, 2004, 11:50 AM

Through The Looking Glass and Accolade II. There's way too many to name, but these come to mind.

Awakenings rules because he uses a real piano (I think) instead of the synthesizer. And the organ sound is also very cool

Awakenings, Egypt and Through The Looking Glass

Demonspell · February 24th, 2004, 06:44 PM

Awakenings and Egypt are the immediate standouts, and TTLG and Accolade II also have excellent use of piano.

"Candlelight Fantasia" live version

symphonyXjapan · February 24th, 2004, 09:13 PM

Even though it is simple playing I just love the way the piano melody in Accolade II sounds.....it is just beautiful!

W1cked · February 25th, 2004, 04:13 PM

All Pinnela's stuff r gr8...but i choose...
> Candlelight Fantasia
> Egypt (End)
> Accolade (Middle- The mixing melodies)

Walkiria · February 26th, 2004, 07:53 AM

Accolade II and Candlelight Fantasia are my favourites, although I find favourite an improper word...

cheers

W1cked · February 26th, 2004, 03:03 PM

oh yeh...Pinnella is a kik ass keyboardist :P

Destroyer Of Orden · February 26th, 2004, 11:34 PM

Accolade II without a doubt... beautiful music

underullospell · February 27th, 2004, 12:09 AM

EGYPT!!!!!!!!! Oh yeah!! The ending just blows me away!
But there are some REALLY awesome parts in the odyssey that kick ass too. Its so hard to chose.

MorphineChild205 · February 27th, 2004, 03:56 AM

Right before the first verse in Through The Looking Glass.

Also, on Live In Olympus (the bootleg from Japan), Pinnella plays a REALLY cool passage under Romeo's guitar solo.

Destroyer Of Orden · February 27th, 2004, 08:15 PM

When I can sit down and listen to the song "the Odyssey" it has countless awesome piano parts littered throughout, but I love the part just before Champion Of Ithica
