Underworld is not only SX’s best album it’s one of the best metal albums of the past ten years.
I will never forgive myself for missing that tour, especially since they RARELY come touring in my neck of the woods.
I saw them on this tour with Overkill. Overkill opened and the place was packed. But when Symphony X came on the place emptied out; I’m guessing maybe 50-75 people remained
But Symphony X still put on a great show
I saw that tour as well. S-X was the opener, and the place was about 1/2 full. For Overkill (which I had no interest in), it was packed, and I bailed after about 1.5 songs. Worked out just fine for me, as it was at a venue about 90 minutes from home, and on a Sunday night. I was home before 11.
Just bought my ticket. There's some assigned seating at this venue, and that's sold out already. Figured I should play it safe and get my tic.
That's interesting. Where did you two see this tour? Overkill and Symphony X is an odd mix. I wonder how it was determined that Overkill should open. They seem like the more popular band. They've been around longer than Symphony X, have more albums, and tour a lot more.
This was a Canadian tour in the fall of 2015. Each night Overkill and Symphony X would switch who would headline. I guess the Chadster saw SX open the concert he saw and left when Overkill headlined. I saw the opposite. I wasn’t overly familiar with Overkill and went solely to see SX. Overkill opened the show that I was at and the place was packed to the rafters. But once Overkill finished, the place emptied big time and I basically had all the room on the floor to move around. Even though the place was basically empty, Symphony X played like they were playing in front of a stadium. Awesome live band and if you are even a remote fan, you need to check them out.
And at this point I’m content with any Symphony X update, whether it’s a new tour, new live album or new album. The band is a bit of a procrastinator, so I’ll take what ever they do at this point
