I think I'm more entertained by the fact that Michael Romeo never changes facial expressions in any of the promo pictures Symphony X takes, over the fact that he's fat.
I felt its length in quite a few places.

Michael Romeo is John Myung?

No, I've actually heard Michael Romeo talk.  He has much to learn if he is to master Myung's art of total silence.

Yeah i'm annoyed

Same with the whole DT drummer thing

Seriously, do lawyers have all this shit tied up?

Jason Rullo is joining DT.


Bet no one saw THAT coming.

That would rull.

Oh.

Yeah, Rullo in DT and Thomas Walling back in SX would be sweet.
I've been listening to TiO these last few days and it is just as fresh and awesome as when I first heard back in 1998. Something I can't really say about their other albums (although they are still awesome, minus PL). Too bad Romeo's brain cells have been replaced with fat ones and they get more and more one-dimensional since V.

Ah yes the good ole Malmsteen symphonic rock clone days, dude are you kidding? There's no accounting for taste, but those old albums don't touch the new ones.

Yep, and the Portnoy is gonna join Symphony X, and then Russel will have to change his name to Mike so every member of that band is named Mike.   :metal :metal :metal :metal :metal

Because I have to:

"Little did people know back when Michael Romeo was back in high school that he already had the plans laid for Symphony X, complete with this early promo picture."

I look more like Hansi anyway. AND a chick at a concert said I looked like Akerfeldt, so, in the words of Cartman.

What was she smoking? You look absolutely nothing like Akerfeldt.

I definitely see the Michael Romeo thing though.

Now look at Hansi. And plus, I don't necessarily look the same in Facebook photos as I do IRL, and that photo (especially the one in the shoop) is pretty old.

Just read on blabbermouth that the new album "Iconoclast" is in post production.  Artwork and pictures are being done shortly and the cd should be released in the spring.  Awesome news!

Allen saying it's heavier than Paradise Lost and has 1 ballad-type song on the album.

Personally, I am more than happy with that. I am in the minority on this forum, who prefers SX's heavier touch.

This album is gonna contain some absolute kick-ass riffs. Hopefully after 4 years they've put the effort in.

Well that's kinda disappointing to me as I love Russell's softer voice, but I do still love the heavy stuff. Maybe the songs will be heavy and feature non Raspy Russell too.

I feel like I've heard that album title before somewhere. Either another album, a movie, or something, but it's definitely familiar.
