Sea of Lies - Symphony X

[dirtydonki]

If GOD wrote music this would be pretty fucking close to His materpiece. Using his disck as a plectum or not :)

[sahmusic]

Great song!

[APCFan22798]

Damn... Symphony X... Just beat all others. This is fucking amazing.

[nicolametallica26]

trying to learn this song on bass... hel it's so difficult!

[fastslapify]

@nicolametallica26 me too

[Hyarwo]

i loved the acoustic =')

[citizen773]

Since i got into Symphony X i rarely listen to Dream Theater anymore

[Malmsteen1990]

ajajajaja esta es la ke se trabaaa la ke bajas del ares xD

[TheCrackedBrick]

I see 11 Juliets who don't like their Romeo.

[SatanLovesMetal]

2 Bad they dont visit Europe this year :(

[mchitti]

Love that tiny bassey riff at 1:40.

[BobBriessinck]

@mchitti i didn't even hear that part xD

[FickJaIchLiebeKiffen]

Proof that Jersey is still a premiere manufacturer of fucking win.

[MrYngwie88]

sick tapping on this man

[breakfastMcgull]

This Song is fucking awesome

And Divine Wings Of Tragedy is a beast album

[mauriciopassosmeneze]

VOU COLECIONAR. PERFEITO.

[ironmaidenawe]

sounds like bruce dickson and dio at the same time

[iulaises9]

Me gustaria que Russell Allen se una a Dream Theater como vocalista, vuelva mike portnoy en la bateria y James LaBrie se vaya xD

MAESTRO Russell Allen!!

[iulaises9]

quien vota porque Rusell Allen se una a Dream Theater, vuelva Mike Portnoy y James LaBrie se vaya? xD

Russel Allen Maestro

[CKjuao]

that odd time change at 0:19 is obviously an audio error, but sounds awesome O.O

[TheMonoxsk8]

@CKjuao are you listen dream theater? see octavarium and later say the error's of time :)

[CKjuao]

@TheMonoxsk8 dude... check the live versions, or at least have the decency to listen the original album version.

Btw i know how an odd time signature sounds like, thanks!

[imakickurazz]

@CKjuao wrong. that's supposed to sound that way.

[CKjuao]

@imakickurazz dude... check the live versions, or at least have the decency to listen the original album version.

di marzio X2N designed for maximum output in valv amps.

not very good for cleans.  very "clean" in dis mode ...

[runingblackbear]

one lie leads to another and it never ends till you shut your mouth and start to speek the truth = metal music \m/

[ell3y]

Fuuuucking great!

[ArchAnge60]

MORTEL !!!!!!!!! cette voix et ce solo magnifique !!!!

[Marshallsatten]

The vocals also remind me of Dio - God rest his soul.

[PetropoulosGeorge]

His voice reminds me a little bit Dio...God???

[lesfrom1]

fuck yeah

[ParanoidBerserker]

Just listen to the lyrics...very real.

[SweeetPicker]

@ParanoidBerserker I can't understand them, i have to find them written.

[Turmalin111]

Epic Song ! Amazing Guitars! Great !

[porchetta18]

10 people don't have hears...

[theicemancometh012]

EPIC FUCKING SOLO!!!! thumbs up if you agree...oh and 10 ppl are musically challenged.

[santobass007]

ha!!! esto si es una chimba de grupo!!!!

[MrTrace94]

the guitar it 's fucking amazing!!

[metalpsips]

i get confused,in this album(1994) the vocals were performed by Rod Tyler.but that vocalist here sounds like Russel.......

[Conroy15]

@metalpsips Err yeeaah, this song is on Divine Wings of Tragedy, so this is Russell Allen ^^

[wondersnitzel]

@metalpsips this album came out in 1997 and russell allen is the vocalist on it

[e60deluxe]

@metalpsips

this album is 1997....

[DJflapjackz]

FUCKIN LIES HOW DO THEY WORK

[InfinityDz]

unfortunately with this band everyone just forgets there are actually lyrics in the song, I mean nobody cares what they're trying to say, that's sad, because these lyrics are awesome!

[WhyWBJ69]

sweet

[Beast6Of6Bass6]

Bass......

[Regzurigeso]

Russen Allen has a wonderful voice. Listen Symphony X cd "the Odyssey" before writing stupid things!

However...they're soooo amazing. \m/

[CarachAngren74]

Oh my god O.O michael romeo's tapping solos are fuckin' amazing *.*

[cerberus088]

I DONT REALLY LIKE THIS BAND AT ALL. they seem to gay. yeo sound like fags to me. The guitarist is ok..but all he does is tap!

[peperrote]

@cerberus088 gay!?! clean your fkn ears, and i bet you can't play that guitar solo

[warlordryudo]

@cerberus088 The singer is actually rly good! I rly dont know how anybody can compain about that... except for being a little bit high sometimes, but its not like every other power metal singer!

The band is pretty skilled I think you cant argue about that, but I rly can understand if you dislike it. Power metal gets cheesy rly fast and while I rly dont like most power metal stuff I think symphony x is pretty good at what they are doing. But then again that´s just a matter of taste.

[megaluisdeth]

@cerberus088 What guitarist is amazing for you?

[burningvenom]

2:36 holy fuck

[guitarsouza]

@burningvenom its not that hard to play that taping

im learning it

[schmittl1]

@guitarsouza well it's pretty simple but its so fast. It took me 6 months to get it up to speed cleanly. its 16th note triplets at 153bpm which equates to 15.3 notes per second.

[AJGNW]

@Ghostman7777 jesus i lol'd XDD

[Maddolis]

@Ghostman7777 I went through that face progression reading your comment xD

[citizen773]

@Ghostman7777 oh shit, i thought you were serious at first =P

[BobBriessinck]

@Ghostman7777 of course. then upload some vids dickhead xD

[Ghostman7777]

@BobBriessinck I would, but youtube would flag it as porn.

[BobBriessinck]

@Ghostman7777 very funny, ur a comedian i guess? -_-"

[Calvert1212]

Dragon Force Singer!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!

[moska8215]

@Calvert1212 nop!

[Fluffypopcicle]

@Calvert1212

you fail.

[guitarsouza]

@Calvert1212 no -.-

[j12a12i12]

2:37 reminds me to the beginning of universal mind by liquid tension experiment

[Emalfrats]

2:35 makes me jizz all the way until 3:40

[darck38510]

Listen MUSE

[MrVoxguitar]

@darck38510 what?

[PeikkoKuningas95]

@darck38510 go kill yourself...

[krifenix]

Women lies!

[MrSRV94]

@krifenix hahaha that's true brother

[Fluffypopcicle]

@krifenix

actually the guitar solo in this song is lies because there is no such thing as a guitar solo this good, it defies the laws of musical physics.

[zTrick17]

8 people mistaken to click the dislike

[wetaconce]

@zTrick17 they were deaf and seeking for a christina aguilera song...

[NostaligicBlackFrost]

song is so faaken epic I think my ears are cumming!

[chaosdragon43]

i know i must be a nub for say but wow 3 micheals in one band XD Forename Triplets

[Saimenism]

overall this band is very good! the vocals are good, great melody's and decent drumming.

[Mike9042]

While listening to Sea Of Lies, I first heard Michael Romeo shred and I jizzed in my pants.

[Steelnavigator]

0:21 the song is lagging :/ But it sounds like it was done on purpose. :o I like it.

Learning Sea of Lies on bass, it's one of my favorite songs from Symphony X ;)

[MrJorgax]

FUCK!

[MrFiddlesticks65]

@MrJorgax

ya thats usually my reaction when i listen to them.

[haiderheavydeath]

Hey guys....we have covered our version of this song...please do check in my videos..thank you =D

[goshlike76]

THE SOLO IS EEEEEPIIIIIIIIC!! DUDE!

[BenMc1981]

Jason Rullo, id marry you.

[Lobones0066]

Fucking rocking man great talent

[MultiMagmortar]

no offense but Michael romeo makes the song even more epic than what it really is XD

[geluba328]

Romeo and Russell Allen, the perfect progressive metal.

[RhcpLeboeuf]

very nice solo !!

[666coud]

symphony rules! \m/

[mortyricus]

michael is god, but the vocals not fot this great band

[dahaka123]

MICHAEL FUCKING ROMEO!!

[HALOMODSRULE]

0:20 skips

[Heinrick192]

Iron Maiden on steroids

[pacoelectronico]

xDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDD

[emosucks89]

The guitar solo in this song is absolutely epic!

[quest4tanelorn]

Skips at the beginning :( :( :( :( I can't believe the other video got taken down

[metalpsips]

his vocals are so fucking amazing

[hEaVyMetaLyuck]

its amasing

[ihatenjoi]

i think it would be better as an instrumental.

but still kicks ass

[Cellisima9]

this is divine wings of tradegy

[hagal999]

paradise lost???

the song is the "The Divine Wings Of Tragedy".

[TheCrystalCastles]

@hagal999 album. the song is sea of lies. The divine wings of tragedy is hte album

[oniman13]

@hagal999 I'm afraid you're both confused. The song is Sea of Lies on the album Divine Wings of Tragedy.

[XOPHIAable]

@hagal999 You are right.

[LateMetaL93]

Haha!!!

[PornloverEX]

Today I've seen the shallow face I wear Inside this shell a living hell endures I'm held captive by my fear decaying hope and wasted years The knife of time carves another line around these eyes Good and evil lust primeval Dragging me into a sea of lies Losing faith in who I am Never changing just rearranging my life again Through eternal abyss I fall Silent screams through paper walls I pray someday the sun will shine on me again Good and evil lust primeval Dragging me into a sea of lies

[Zarry1995]

Ah,,there it is

[heftywhiteman]

The singing is beautiful, that's real singing. Cookie monster vocals now that's gay.

[AceOseveN]

hey now, both types take talent. If you want to observe bad singing, look no further that any genre with the word 'core' in it, or pop, with its disgusting use of that auto tune thing

[BloodReverence]

Trivium, even though they have core in it, have great singing.

[MKiller5]

Dude, I agree, but most people here can't really accept that kind of vocals.

[lathandien]

if it were instrumental, a lot of it would be the same riff over and over and you would be bored fast

[HeartOfEchoes]

Metalcore has some good vocalists don't generalize like that. Like at Every Time I Die or New Underoath.

[AceOseveN]

Ok, I just listened to Every Time I Die and I'll give you that: the guy can sing.

I was referring to scremo though.

[HeartOfEchoes]

Yeah I gotchya...some of that crap is really bland...like Attack Attack! (they use auto-tune). They make me lose my faith in music.

[NostaligicBlackFrost]

@heftywhiteman Yes, I hate "cookie monster" vocals.

[pppoooppp]

@NostaligicBlackFrost Meh, there's nothing wrong with em. As long as the music itself is good then I find nothing wrong with it. Plus those vocals give more of a percussive feel adding a certain element to the song. It's an acquired taste and I know some people just don't like em, but I don't find any reason for someone to talk shit on em(as hefty was doing) unless its the fucking gurgling noises people consider vocals sometimes.

[NostaligicBlackFrost]

@pppoooppp Yeah, personally I love death and brutal death metal so I'm not the sorta person who hates death metal vocals and so forth but it's the "cookie monster" ones that kinda annoy me.

[pppoooppp]

@NostaligicBlackFrost You dig any Death?

[NostaligicBlackFrost]

@pppoooppp Death as in the band? Yes!

[pppoooppp]

@NostaligicBlackFrost fuck yeah, If you like them you should check out Obscura if you haven't heard of em.

[NostaligicBlackFrost]

@pppoooppp Well alrighty then!!

[DanteWhite]

@NostaligicBlackFrost Death is fucking awesome R.I.P Chuck

[NostaligicBlackFrost]

@DanteWhite yeah...:(

[kankuro1701]

@LateMetaL93

Hahaha i think youre gay xD!

[8ShReDDeR4]

crazy song

[91italo]

... boia che assolo... non ho parole, ma ho paura in compenso...

[c4cereal]

what is their band tuning?

drop what

[Chaos0211]

I think this one is in D-standard.

[heftywhiteman]

Symphony X only tunes a whole step down. So the tunings would be DGCFAD.

[ojjinx]

they are tuned D G C F A D, basically a whole step down.

[reeeisrubber]

This song is awesome.

[Parafiestas]

All the band is fucking awesome,MR rules,the bassist is fucking great,also the drummer,and the singer has hyper fantastic voice....

[LikeMadness]

well i don't care that michael is fat, it's looks just amazing how his fingers fly upon the guitar strings

[Ingertino19]

amazing

[leesm0125]

i think MR deserves to be invited in G3, which includes JP, SV

[Libellebr]

dragging me into a see of LIES LIEEEEEEEES LIES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!­!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! prprprprprprprprprprprprprprpr­prprprprprprprprpprrpPRPRPRPRR­PRprprprprwawawawaptziewnnnnwo­nnnnn

[gibsonsg8473]

amazing bass line ;)

[TheWhocares233]

PELICAN

[gweetarshredder]

this is sooo good!! Michael Romeo rly is that awesome!!!

[matineesuxxx]

you ever watch the vids of him shredding? theyre so sickk. but their are so many comments about him being fat.. like wtf lol why does that matter hes better the almost anyone else out ther :D

[robweese]

I hate that also, but more often than not its simply really insecure and jealous people, and simple shallow people who make those comments. Lots of people get bent out of shape, cause they know deep down inside Michael is one bas ass guitar player.

[gweetarshredder]

@ matineesuxxx

yeh man have seen him shred- he's technique is flawless... and the tapping 0.o

and yeh i hate seein comments sayin he's fat too... like u said, it rly doesnt matter- ppl need to enjoy his awesome music and not care about his appearance

and yes- he can play better than almost everyone out there :)

[matineesuxxx]

i love his tapping. i think its his way of kind of cheating sweeping with big stretches??? makes sense since he has somewaht small hands and he does tapping better then anyone else ive heard XD

[c4cereal]

hes amazing... :x

why the fuck do people say hes fat! that doesnt matter he is fucking insane shredding. \m/

[Jehendos]

Yngwie is also fat^^ but who cares?

[tkdliron]

and timo tollki from stratovarius. also a very fast neoclassic guitarist

[WastedRespect]

People are insecure about themselves mostly. They see Romeo as a great guitarist but has a trait which makes him unappealing to most and they take advantage of it.

[paveladolfo]

cabron!!!

[leothesecond]

Michael Romeo Fucking rules \m/

[yondaime597]

michael romeo is a badass.

[Guyklein5656]

FUCK! Whe I hear this solo Im going to cum. omg this is one of the best solos I've ever heard

[kingdomhearts227]

@Guyklein5656 lmfao

[thewarriorsrok]

I met the bass player Michael Lepond at my guitar teachers birthday party. Hes a really great guy, and we ate birthday cake together.

[kankuro1701]

MAN!YOU ARE SO LUCKY XD!I AM A GUITARRIST AND HE INSPIRES ME XD!He is one of my bro's inspirations :P

[NayaAthome]

@thewarriorsrok And they lived happily ever after :p

[PeikkoKuningas95]

@thewarriorsrok wow :DD

[n30l1nk]

@thewarriorsrok This isn't Michael Lepond, though.

[rubendrakkar]

fucking Thomas Miller is a freakin monster

[lathandien]

the beginning is the most badass.

[XsavagistX]

Michael Romeo is a fucking beassssssssst

[Huzzawful]

hard riff

[oldies900]

1:15 to be exact

[lathandien]

youtube's link of system has a bit of a delay - about 1-2.5 seconds, so technically you are more wronger.

[oldies900]

love that burst of speed at 1:13

[arellanon]

Damn this song is beautiful! Great, great composition!

[phoebehalliwell8989]

I loooove it!!!

[Emil315]

Sjø av Løyner....Sea of Lies in Norwegian xD

[lathandien]

how would you pronounce that?

[Emil315]

Its very hard to explain actually xD

[Sterneverteiler]

very nice
