It's a combination of several of those options, but discovering new bands is probably the most relevant one.
I came here because I liked the music of Symphony X and wanted to discuss it with others. What I found here is that there is barely anyone who actually listens to Symphony X and just use this forum as their chatting platform (see users Kenneth R., DoomsdayZach). So I just stuck around and chatted as well because its fun when I'm utterly bored.
I THINK we all listen to SX, but but there is nothing new to discuss, and everything else has already BEEN discussed.
Fuckin Zach is a legend among legends. PS dude, I went to a Symphony X concert with him in New York City. So your info is dubious. That said, see Lavages' post.
I picked the Just read the forum option. Thats what I always do when I come here, and I reply whenever I have something to add I also discovered some bands, which is also nice In a general sense though, its quite boring around here (no offense). Like those above me said, theres nothing much left to discuss here anymore. Which is why I create polls and stuff.....makes things a little less boring
Most of the bands/artists posted or commented here are extremely boring, not worthy of licking Symphony X's boots!
I'm no acolyte. I don't filter my words. If and when they produce a new album, perhaps it will be the toast of the year to my ears. We shall see. In the mean time, the wind blows in other directions.
Symphony X is an amazing band and I dont think its nice to talk about them like that on their own forum, Kenneth. Show some respect
