Ok, thank you for your torrent of sageness. When I first came here, I thought it was a forum about Symphony X, but it seems its not. Reading this thread and the other ones, I came to the conclusion that not only metal is not very popular around here, Symphony X isnt either.
^ Symphony X is popular here. Just browse the forum instead of just looking at the few recent off-topic'ish threads. We just get bored after discussing everything about the band for years. Feel free to start new threads or bring up old ones though. As for metal, there are tons of forums out there if this one is not metal enough for you.
Ah, metal isn't popular here you say? Don't make the mistake of putting a generalized conjecture on a specialized problem: some forms of metal are not popular here.
Aw, man. Looks like a power metal project judging by the lineup. When is he gonna release his actual solo album - a followup to Atomic Soul? And when is Romeo finally gonna do something besides Symphony X? I mean, come on. I know composing, arranging and recording various instruments takes more time and effort than what Russell does with these side-projects, but jeez. The only good thing about them is the vocalist, imo. They play pretty standard traditional heavy metal mixed with power metal.
^---That's a pretty accurate way of putting it, I think. Wasn't Scheepers one of the top candidates for replacing Halford when he left Priest in the 90's? I seem to recall it being so. Good singer anyway.
I listened to Armageddon, and it started out alright I thought, but in the end I didn't care too much for it. I can definitely hear the Priest influences though.
Why do people do this kind of thing? It's not funny, it's disgusting! uke: http://michael.romeo.guitarrist.of.symphony-x.swellserver.com/news/top_stories/auto80.php
that's just a custom string website. <string> dies in a car accident! I doubt any effort at all went into it.
