Symphony X - The Odyssey Live (part1)

[Zwolleeee]

Hard to belief the there are really ppl that don't like this, seriously this song cant be long enough and never gets bored.

[pablitomerguez]

Lol!!!! Surely the first video I see with "0 Don't like"... Don't need to ask why I suppose!!!! They just Fuckin rock!!!!

[MIND4eva]

They should play that song live more often! :O

[soekanta]

this song is just fucking genius!!!

[nengstro]

Best voice in progressive rock right know, what the hell, the best voice - period.

[enooxx]

To play this song live they need Jordan Rudess (The full orchestra man) btw this is just my opinion

[Stompo11]

@enooxx dont see why? the actual keyboardist does the job more than well enough hahaha

[evolutionist79]

Michael Romeo is an unsung hero of music.

[simix1000]

they are so amaizing live , and that voice , :-O just beautiful , Symphony X :-D

[HankWurtzl2]

2.20 - 3.22 nothing to say...

[korvspad9]

love'em

[jsem94]

This particular song isn't a real neo-classical song. But most of their songs are. This is one of their absolute best though. All sections are incredible.

[Sezzthrazz]

You guys are idiots for trying to label this music as anything.

This is Progressive Neo-classical- symphonic awesomeness.

Or as I would like to say. This is Symphony X!

[lpsh0rty]

@Sezzthrazz dude -______-  lol

[lpsh0rty]

So have I, it is Symphonic, but its also Neo-Classical, how can you say Symphony X isn't Neo-Classical?

[ch3353n1nj4]

the crowd response is beautiful

[FaithNoMore1977]

1:52 reminds me of The Neverending story when the kid is riding on that flying dog for the first time.

[universalmind38]

This song gives me the chills... It's like watching Clash of The Titans and the like...

[FuckY0utube72]

Wow.... I usually don't bother to waste the 30 seconds it takes to make a comment, but I have to say...this is a really damn good live performance. And the singer is amazing.

[Raffael900me]

not THE best but one of the best rock on if u ur real Proger u would say wat i say no extremist

[SirJamestheIII]

7:02 SLAPPIN DA BASS

[Getoffthetubes]

@SirJamestheIII IM SLAPPIN DA BASS, MON

[xCitizenErasedxMusex]

this song had definitely to be three hours longer.

[metalarmageddon]

or like .... twenty years

[pownjhell]

Man, this would have taken so long to sequence the ochestral track assuming it's all digital and not live. If it's live, that's an even greater accomplishment!

[Generalwalrus]

The rythm at 1:20 kicks ass!

[Fry1077]

Russell Allen ftw

[leesm0125]

i luv their unique styles and tones.

[myfaceispurple]

it's almost funny to watch this big huge guy sing so beautifully xD amazing band, symphony x, btw

[pitolfo]

what a crowd

[Behemoth782]

Well, progressive/power metal isn't ultra crazy mosh time, but they are enjoying it a ton

[BradenTV]

I love watching older videos like this pre Paradise Lost tour. Now if only I could find videos of the V tour... :)

[Gulli05]

ardley216, I wish I could see weather the question is insulting ot not. Because when i read you are question it seems to me you are insulting them by almost saying they have 'no talent' but I'll a sure you their talent is greater than most musicians.

But I'll answer your question.

Playing with a orchestra and playing with a programmed background instrument is very hard. (As a band not neciserraly as an individual)

[ardley216]

im syaing they are probably thee most tallented band i know... i love them!

i know how hard it is to make this kind of music, i am a composer myself. but a real orchestra would obviously be ALOT better than computer generated orchestra..

[Gulli05]

ardley216,

k. I wasn't sure what you meant.

What kind of music do you compose?

I myself am heavily influenced by Michael Romeo's Musical & Guitar Style :D Hopefully I can become as good as him on guitar, his skill is otherworldy.

Also the problem with preforming with a live orcestra is it is really expensive.

[ardley216]

click on my channel and you'll find out.. its all piano :) and good luck with y your guitar! :)

and yeah it is expensive, i play trumpet in 2 orchestras, and if i could get hold of the full music score i might be able to purswade my conductor to get us to play it! :D

so if anyone has the music score for this PLEASE SEND!!

[Gulli05]

ardley216,

Thanks. Your piano stuff looks nice.

I have a Guitar Pro Music Score which has all instruments written down (with a 16-midi channel thing which Guitar Pro uses) but has to be transcribed to a more orchestral outlook though.

The Odyssey is a seriously tough song though, it will be hard to play.

[Mu71L80R]

Please seek "danny schneidemesser" and listen to his song "morning star" he did it using EAST WEST QUANTUM LEAP SYMPHONIC ORCHESTRA PLATINUM PLUS PLAY EDITION... sounds exactly equal to a real orchestra, that doesn't means that the kid press control+k and the music flows like magic... the computer is for RECORDING computers don't create music bro ;) computers are TOOLS for creating music with your own ideas... and I'm composer too :D

[myfaceispurple]

agreed im tired of people thinking hip hop producers dont write their own stuff....im a hip hop producer myself, but also play jazz/shred/metal(i know, 3 completely different genres) guitar and record with my computer and producer with my computer and nothing makes it by itself

[PowerSlaveAlfons]

They recorded this with a real orchestra as far as I know.

[Duirt]

sorry man but they use samples. saw an interview where they talk about it.

[tpp8]

Post it man

[ljgpromo]

Michael Romeo composed the orchestration himself. They're not like Metallica and can afford to pay a famous orchestra to play for them live. -And Metallica did NOT write their orchestration. Romeo's is kind of brilliant. Probably the best guitarist around. And please nobody reply arguing that with Yngwie or Petrucci lol. Peace

[Gulli05]

ljgpromo,

Michael Romeo is probably one of the best guitarists in the world.

If you can see Michael Romeo is my favorite guitarist and inspires me a lot. :D

[Behemoth782]

This song is a masterpiece, Romeo is a genious.

I love all the intricate harmonies, and accents by orchestral instruments, it's excellent.

[PowerSlaveAlfons]

He's surely the best Prog-Meal guitarist and songwirter.

[tpp8]

Paul Waggoner from BTBAM is better. Romeo is the best when it comes to neo-classical prog.

[MaximumPayne12]

@tpp8 dude this is not neo-classical, it is symphonic, plz learn more about metal. And yeah Michael is awesome

[audosi]

@MaximumPayne12 true but they have major neo-classical influences remember that 2 of micheal romeos major influences are uli jon roth in my view the creatorof neo-classical and malmsteen

[lpsh0rty]

@MaximumPayne12 No its neo-classical

[MaximumPayne12]

@lpsh0rty Nope, sorry, it is symphonic...

[lpsh0rty]

@MaximumPayne12 No, Neo-Classical, is a branch of metal that is highly influenced by classical music. Hence Symphony X

[MaximumPayne12]

@lpsh0rty Heh... trust me it is not Neoclassical, it is... well, it's actually Symphonic, Power, Progressive metal but not Neoclassical, i am absolutelly sure. Please learn more about metal genres, no offense.

[lpsh0rty]

@MaximumPayne12 and I'am absolutely sure your wrong.

[MaximumPayne12]

@lpsh0rty Yeah well, I am not wrong.

[lpsh0rty]

@MaximumPayne12 yea you are!

[MaximumPayne12]

@lpsh0rty No dude! I'm not.

[lpsh0rty]

@MaximumPayne12 yes, you have no clue about the metal genres that you have stated because this is Neo-Classical Metal.

[MaximumPayne12]

@lpsh0rty Hey, chill man. I've known metal genres for now 12 years so I am quite sure what I am talking about. Please stop being so stubborn. This is symphonic metal... get over it.

[lpsh0rty]

real musicians r u serious they wrote the entire piece r u stupid.

[ardley216]

i don't know what you mean by that comment, but its definitely one of my favorite songs ever  written!

[lpsh0rty]

nvm it is my fav song too

[DTismajesty]

ALLEN!!!!!!!!!!

[TreborJanessIII]

NO question!! One of the greatest songs ever conjured!!

SYMPHONY X!!!!

[CoolEditz]

SX has always lacked a decent lighting show.

[FatMancubus]

The best song ever!

Hail SX!

[RaphaelSBS]

ROMEO!!!!!!!!!!!

[gatogordo1990]

PINELLA!!!!

[chilepeulla]

thank you so much for this video!!

you are the best, man!

[elidude55]

such a great song

[Robkophoofd]

Symphony X is great and so is this song =)

Just bought the album myself (listened it a lot of times with my brother), but this song is still great.

I think it's mainly because the length of this song is not just to make it a f***ing long song. I mean, it's not really repetitive and every thing fits in. If they should've made it shorter that would probably be even a bad thing because every part of this song is makes sense.

[IncerdibleNick]

symphony x is soooooo god

[orionatk]

Gracias por subirlo!! Una de las mejores canciones de Symphony X.

[jongeo]

where's mike pinella?

[thelostsoul6]

Awesome vid! Thanks for the upload! Keep on rocking!
