  • for anyone who loves symphony x should look up adagio the guitarist is stephan forte their incredible you might have to type in song with the name to find them.

  • Awesome!

  • anyone realize the rift is jocking off kick the chair by megadeth?

  • @37megadethfan

    i've never heard of kick the chair before.

  • @residentevilchris06 listen to it its a great song. not as good as their classics but still good

  • Much more addictive than drugs.

  • remember me on balkan music xDD

  • That legato lick is amazing. That little slide in there sounds so awesome.

  • Saw them last friday. It was awesome! They are such beasts.

  • @axebitten OMG you are so lucky to have seen them!! D': I'd so love to have them play in our country.....

  • cant wait for their upcoming tour ...

  • The guitar solo is a climax for my hears!!!!

  • this song would rape on Guitar Hero

  • emo = emotions... art = emotions... art is emo =3 ... even thrash/death metal and harder shit ... get over it posers <3

  • @SimberLayek then say emotional, Emo is now a fad that many 12 year old girls get into these days.

  • Michael Romeo is the Chuck Norris of guitar players

  • megadeth vs. symphony who would win. i think megadeth

  • @theknexrock In a popularity contest, maybe, but that's about it. Been a fan of Megadeth since before I can remember, but as talented as every one of those guys are, these guys exceed them. Russell Allen is light years ahead of Mustaine in vocal ability, and Michael Romeo blows away every guitarist Megadeth has ever had with the exception of Chris Broderick, and even then I wouldn't say Broderick is necessarily better (and vice versa). All that matters is that both bands kick major ass :D

  • @Xallia621 they do. haha

  • @Xallia621 I'm surprised you mentioned Chris Broderick over Marty Friedman, he would've been my choice for best guitarist that was in Megadeth.

  • @Xallia621 listen to some of Chris Broderick's piano-style tapping, its outta this world!!! but then again Michael Romeo leaves me equally stunned, so yeah, ur right!

  • seus chupa elfos

  • wow this is a rock song from Symphony X

  • I stopped listening to this band, got into a bunch of other bands, and in all 4 of those years I never found a band half as good.

  • Holy shit, they're fucking feeding Michael Romeo with creativity on a daily basis.

  • @CerebrumTranceStep Apparently you've never heard of Fall Out Boy.

  • I'm a bassist and my jaw was on the floor hearing the guitar... damn

  • My god the Intro Riff is so much sex.

  • what's the name of the guitar player? I want to shake his hand, maybe some skill will rub off on me, he has enough for everybody.

  • @ScreamForMe7353 Michael Romeo. Yeah hes got enough to make everyone on the planet an Eddie Van Halen. Twice.

  • @PathogenProductions ... I love your comment. Where's the LOVE button. LMAO

  • This song is too short.

  • u murderer ,you killin me by your damm good song.............:P

  • so guys i had an orgasm when i listen to this band.....just thought i point that out.....

  • Best part from 0:00 to 5:05

  • AWZUM

    

  • Whats with all these new fangled bands using robots for guitars?

  • @ih8makinusernames First off this band isn't new, and have you ever heard of a word called Distortion?

  • @nubowns It was a joke...

  • wonderful! :DDDDDDDDDD

  • THIS SONG + SOME BEERS + MEAT or STEAK + GIRLS = EXCELENT BBQ !!!!

  • Not as good as Justin Bieber amirite fellows?

  • @dongslol Stop bringing Justin Bieber in ever goddamn discussion.

  • Man I was so stoked to sing along live to '...within becoming kin with the sons of Cane..' Symphony X kicks so much ass live

  • Nothing quite like pwning noobs on battlefront 2 and listening to dis

  • this guitar solo is one of the greatest moments in guitar history

  • I love this song and guys PLEASE STOP COMPARING BANDS especially if they sound completely different all it does is start shit. If you like the song leave a like and a comment. If you don't like it THEN LEAVE it's as simple as that. If you feel like comparing this to something else here's what I want you to do, I want you to delete your system32 folder then take a giant magnet and run it over the top of your computer.

  • @outlawstar00000 What will that do? I'm just curious that's all.

  • And people say that Nothin Else Matters is a classic compare to this it is just a Garage Song :)

  • When I saw 'em last night, Romeo's guitar refused to work for the last two minutes of the song. So Pinnella covered all the parts on keyboards. The solos and everything. It was SICK.

    These guys rule.

  • @Obelix5150 hey,i allways wanted to know how many people are in symphony X concert,can you please tell me how many people were in that concert?

  • @Obelix5150 wow are you serious?? thats so sick! these guys are masters at recovering;)

  • @Obelix5150 gosh... :-O

  • good lord. why are avenged sevenfold and Symphony X being brought up in the same sentence? Symphony X kicks Avenged Sevenfold in their lady balls.

  • @shuckyducky252 they have been brought up together because some retard that doesn't know music brought them up 6 months ago and people can't let it go...

  • Comment removed

  • @shuckyducky252 wow clever. maybe if you weren't blinded by love for one band you'd see how retarded that was. now if you had said disturbed, bring me the horizon, or three days grace or something then I might have agreed.

  • @chrisotis93 Avenged Sevenfold is fucking horrid.

  • IsanEMetal654 Avenged Sevenfold is a great band but they just play other kind of metal so you cant compare:)

  • @SatanLovesMetal FUCKING THANK YOU

  • @SatanLovesMetal That was metal? I thought it was emo faggotry.

  • @IronyBeaver What's so emo about it? No one in the band even has an emo style.

  • (cont.) and synyster gates is a hell of a guitarist. dont believe me you hardcore prog rock ignorant shits? go listen to fiction, which the rev entirely wrote, and then save me, an 11 minute musical masterpiece. romeo is a better guitarist than syn for sure, but don't hate on A7X. they are a very musically gifted bunch. allen is a better vocalist than m shadows for sure as well, but its a different genre and shads is a fucking beast of a singer as well. don't flame when you bleed ignorance.

  • @chrisotis93 Go listen to the Odyssey nuff said hahhaha a 11 minute musical masterpiece hahahahaha

  • @xNickGovan dude did you not read? i love symphony x, i just watched them live, and i know and love odyssey...but that doesn't mean a slightly different genre can't make a beast ass 11 minute song.

  • Symphony X once had a bad case of the shits on the road in the U.S., upon stopping at a rest stop, the band fled the bus, raided the only toilets available....resulting in the first ever Symphony X group turd!! Forgetting to flush, but not forgetting to wash their hands afterward.....the turd brewed, and grew.....after some guyliner, some nifty standard-issue Texas State Trooper sunglasses and a truly creative misspelling of on-stage pseudonyms, the world was given what you know as Avenged 7Fold

  • not sure who started the comparison here between SX and A7X, i would like to personally castrate you. avenged is my all time favorite band, and symphony x has surged to number 2. i am in love with both of their music, and i also listen to shit like lamb of god. I HAVE DIVERSITY. but you dont see me comparing unlike shit. that's just stupid. BUT, as for flaming A7X, and calling them a hot topic band or just another typical band, is ignorance. the late rev was an incredible musician, (to be cont.)

  • Always the same, everywhere... You guys just can't like a band whitout spitting against another band....

    In every trash metal video you can read : better than Metallica

    In every prog it's : better than Dream Theater (or, in this case : two bands playing different kind of music SX and A7X..)

    It's very sad because you're missing lot of things... Believe me, there are great A7X songs, great Metallica songs, great Megadeth songs, etc....

    You don't need to hate something to love something...

  • @weedshot Sorry for the TRash...I mean it is THrash of course...

  • Stop comparing Avenged Sevenfold with Symphony X...They are not even the same genre...

  • Who the fuck brought up Avenged Gayfold?

    AKA

    Overrated cliché hot topic band.

  • 2 people blasted this too loud and went deaf and got jealous of the rest of us.

  • this song seems a mix between metallica and sonata arctica xD good track anyway... one of the best SymphonyX songs

  • @BlackFolkAndPiano

    I'm sorry, but that's a terrible analogy.

  • @KittyHex of course I know xD but the melodic vocal line and the trashy riff in the beginning made me think of that

  • muito boua : )

  • Avenged Sevenfold is good but not on this level, but remember Symphony has 5 more years than A7X who knows where they could be 5 years from now.

  • @jarrenh1 Yeah but have you heard symphony X's 1997 album the divine wings of tragedy? it's the best thing they've ever put out, 13 years ago and still blows away a7x. A7x is fine (not really a fan) but they will never by up there with symphony X.

    look up "the accolade" and listen to the fucking chorus. Just incredible.

  • @jarrenh1 the basic musicianship from Avenged Sevenfold doesnt even come close of that of Sympbonhy X.

    I Dont know about Avenged Sevenfold but its easy recognizable that most members from Symphony X are both in technique as in theory well eduacated. Where as Avnghed Sevenfold is probably just a typical band.

    So it doesnt matter in years at all.

  • I think it's a no brainer that Romeo is substantially better than Syn. Russel may have more range but I prefer M. Shadows vocals - he has a great voice whereas russells is like the norm for a power metal voice. Idk about the drummers man Ive seen Portnoy live twice (once with Dream Theater and once with A7X) and he is an absolute maniac.

  • This is the second time that i hear symphony X. ( Discography downloading... :P)

  • Holy shit, what fucking awful quality. Good song and all, but man that is dire.

  • I JUST SAW THEM LIVE! HOLY SHIT THEY WERE BADASS! they also played this song it rocked, and i got to talk to the bassist, i met Michael and the drummer, and got a poster signed...

  • 3:22 is proof that Michael Pinnella is god!

  • this is the sexiest metal song i have ever heard

  • Everyone knows Michael Romeo is an amazing guitarist, anyone who disagrees sucks molested cock.

  • The guy playing guitar is too good to even be part of the human race.

  • @Brendan06000 and he's called Michael Romeo

  • @Brendan06000 His name is Michael Romeo, and i agree with you !

  • @Brendan06000 You obviously don't know who David T. Chastain is.

  • @Brendan06000

    I know, he is a part of the White race. ;)

  • @Brendan06000 no one is too good to be part of the human race. I like him and all his guitar riffs. The guitar riffs we hear in all symphony x r amazing but no one is too good to be part of the human race.

  • @dakboyyall That was a joke. A way of saying that he's really awesome. Jeez.

  • Just how many hands does the guitar player have? :D

  • @omfglolroflpwnage he has the caparison guitars....

  • THIS ... IS ....PROGRESSIVE METAL !!!!

  • awesome solo!!!!!!!!!!!!

  • @kinderleinchen almost imposible :P

  • this should be Slaanesh's theme song.

  • @JHGuitarHD You are not alone

  • the intro is just jaw dropping - then the verse kicks in with a moster groovy riff - great song!

  • Does anyone know if I can sell my soul to Michael Pinnella in order to become a better keyboardist?

  • que buen tema!

  • Intro was fave part <3

  • @marcandre0011 I Belive the word your looking for is, Eargasmic or Eargasam. and goodygoody23 lol...

  • Insanne

  • This is a great "speeding on the freeway" song!!!

  • @milonkill lmao i can see it. MOVE OUT THE WAY!

  • 0:15 devil went down to Georgia lol

  • my favorite part was when Michael Romeo played the guitar

  • @goodygoody23

    I also like when Russel Allen plays the Voicebox.

    And when Picheal Minella plays the electric piano.

  • @goodygoody23  ahja lol

  • Santa didn't want to bring me this album for christmas, i think i'll kill him.

  • Stop bringing the Jonas Brothers up ...

    its way past their curfew

  • @nighferr19 you just did...

  • Exactly 2 years ago this was uploaded, that's pretty cool. Anyway it's a good song probably my favorite from SX.

  • First time listening to this song; the music here is pretty intense!  Symphony has a lot of power here!

  • I love this song, it's very passional. I'm a woman, and I would love that a man dedicates me this song.

  • @KonataSama75 Ok I dedicate this song to you XD

  • @KonataSama75 I might dedicate this song to ya...Im easy with the pretty ladies....You can see me play guitar at "Guitar Expert, Playing Original Music"

  • The worst part was 5:05

  • God dammit !!! This kicks so much fucking ass ! I eargasmed throughout the whole song !

  • couldnt agree more w/ the highest commented lmao

  • Comment removed

  • the "What can I do" part just chills my whole spine, lots of times.

    A music hardly catches me at first. This is one of 'em.

  • My favorite part was when they played Eve of Seduction

  • this solo is orgasm to my feet, because my ears got already orgasmed by the last song from this ablum!! SYMPHONY X!!!!

  • I bought my Tshirt of Symphony X today. I fucking love this album.

    \m/

  • at 0:45 it kinda sounds like megadeth's kick the chair riff in a way. Awesome song though.

  • jonas brothers can play this? if they can play a symphony x song i'm bush.

    Fucking bastards SYMPHONY X RULES YEAH \m/

  • I could listen to the riff at 0:45 all day and never get tired of it.

  • Avenged Sevenfold is incomparable to Symphony X. Michael Romeo blows away Synyster and Zack. Russell has a way better range of vocals that M. Shadows, and Jason demolishes Mike (Since the Rev passed away). But hey, this is just one guys opinion.

  • @InsanEMetal654 two different styles of music, that's why their incomparable. But yeah I agree with everything skill wise except for Jason being better than Mike.

  • @InsanEMetal654 I agree with you on everything except for Mike. Portnoy is a God, and as good as Jason is, Portnoy is a virtuoso on his instrument.

  • @InsanEMetal654 agree with everything except about jason blowing away portnoy, man. You should say he blows away the Rev, since he sucked. I mean he got the job done, but he was not even close to Jason's or Mike's league.

  • @InsanEMetal654 thats not an opinion thats a fact a7x sucks a chubby haha

  • @AxisOfHumanity go listen to save me, maybe it's something your pompous prog metal brain can process.

  • @InsanEMetal654 Wait, someone tried to compare Avenged Sevenfold to Symphony X? Was it a joke or something? That person has a pretty lame sense of humor, if you ask me.

  • @PsychoticPulse I seen a lot of comments talking about Avenged Sevenfold and it seemed that everyone was comparing.

  • @InsanEMetal654 "and Jason demolishes Mike" WTF?

  • @InsanEMetal654 I would agree with you completely except for the opinion on the drummers

  • @InsanEMetal654 Apparently 10 guys' opinions. ;]

  • @InsanEMetal654 Then dont compare them! They dont even play the same brand of metal. I love both bands actually, especially Rullo on drums...but being a drummer for 22 yearsand a Dream Theater fan for almost 20 years, Rullo doesnt come close to Pornoy on the drums!

  • Comment removed

  • @InsanEMetal654 Avenged Sevenfold is commercial shit. Symphony X rocks!

  • @nebojsa0106 they aren't commercial at all you fuckhead. go listen to some of their stuff instead of forming your opinions from a forum.

  • can anyone else hear The Devil Went Down to George in this songs intro? anyone at all? lol cuz my friend let me borrow this cd and as soon as this song came on i thought that

  • @MrPhenomenal7

    hahahahahahahahaha!!! YEAH!!! YOU'RE RIGHT!!! like, towards the end of the intro... :-p... it's the same scale :-p.

  • @ViolentAssaulter this reply needs more likes

  • 2:17 The Devil Went Down to Georgia Lul.

    Great Song.

  • one person dislikes? :)

  • \m/ symphony x rls!!!

  • hmm they sound kind of like Avenged Sevenfold but better

  • @markallen6591 More like Avenged Sevenfold sounds kind of like them but worse. I like Avenged Sevenfold, but Symphony X is a whole different genre and a whole different level of skill.

  • @Blackmage777

    You can't make that kind of judgement since SX plays power/prog metal and A7X doesn't. They're in two different genres and are both very talented bands. That being said, the members of SX have a good 10-15 years on A7X and it definitely shows. But all in all, both bands are great!

  • @killerkord Yes, you cant compare hardcore progmetal (SX) to softcore Metalcore (A7x) Both bands are great, but Symphony X er a little more technical, although Synyster also have mad skills. I still like A7x best, since I find so many of their song works of a genious. Matt Shadows, the greatest songwriter in this millenium!

  • @RtosVadumee Synister Gates is overrated, in my opinion... Yes , indeed he IS good. but he receives a lot more credit for what other guitar players (who are not even half as famous as he is) can do blindfolded

  • @idontbelieveok

    It's not all about the technical skills, Syn is more than good enough. Getting better, and you often see the Dragonforce-syndrome.. And that's not cool! In my opinion the by far greatest value of a band lies in songwriting, and a big part in the vocals. What does it matter is you play like the God of Rock, but only write shitty guitar-solo songs? (Yngwie..!) Synphony sure have many awesome riffs, and strong vocals for a prog-band, but lack some of the more complex songwriting.

  • @RtosVadumee This band isn't really for people who care for lyrics. I listen to Avenged 'cause I can relate to some of their lyrics. Symphony X is for people who love awesome riffs and solos. Also,I'm a guitar player and their songs are EXTREMELY fun to play,which is another reason why one would listen to Symphony X.

  • @LOOOL811 That was pretty much a re-formulation of what I wrote! ^^,

  • @RtosVadumee Oh. Haha I didn't read your comment completely because it was too long xD Sorry =P

  • @idontbelieveok

    But if you're not that big on lyrics and epicness, and just want badass riffage and shredding, then Symphony X most defiantly is among the top choices of metal!

  • @markallen6591 a lot better..

  • @Progeeks1 yep

  • Amazing song! The chorus reminds of 80's rock for some reason.

  • Pfft, more like Eve of AWESOME! :D
