SPV-TV Ep.06 Symphony X comes to Hannover, Germany

[Altairograph]

3 Mike's and Pinnella is always being overlooked :( But then he doesn't come across as a guy who likes talking to the media and stuff.

[maxman2324]

how dare he talk to a metal god like that?!? HANG HIM!

[MrYngwie88]

3 michaels man but only one romeo hwhhwhw

[cimore000]

OMG the host is so awesome.

MAN give lepond a fuckin custom bass already.

[meshzzizk]

Anyone know where I can find the full version of those live clips?

[BenditlikeBecker]

The interviewer is a fucking helmet.

[Siege900]

Why the hell doesn't SX have a live DVD yet, those live clips are awesome!

[maidenfinland]

lol the interviewer is so damn corny :D 

[RDBeast]

That Sir Jay guy is so annoying... its like he doesnt really care so much about the music he just wants to be on camera. It seemed to me like he doesnt give a shit he just had a list of questions to ask and then shut off while Michael Romeo answered. Not to mention some of his pathetic comments.

[rrwwe]

...damn sir jay is annoying

[GrozmeisterLou]

This "Sir Jay" guy is an idiot and the band doesn't like him. does anyone?!

[emperorsenshi]

michael romeo looks like quasimodo but he's a good guitarist

fuck yeah symphony x \m/

[tortoise656]

@emperorsenshi NO MORE LIKE MEATLOAF THE 3 MEATLOAFS

1 MEATLOAF

2 YNGWIE MALMSTEEN

3 MICHAEL MEATLOAF ROMEO OK

[bimsterfls]

at around 10:35 he sounds exactly like adam sandler

[PowerSlaveAlfons]

I soo want to see them live someday, I hope they are coming to Austria sometimes.

Sir Jay, However, is a complete retard.

[ibanez33150]

DAncing on the Razor! Metal is the Deal!

[camiraun]

sir j is a retard. you can see michael and russell giggling about him in the backstage interview

[SirJamestheIII]

12:59 to 13:24 was orgasmic. I've never seen that much passion from any metal singer ever. PERIOD!

[exbogus]

Man. fuck it!! check that live sound those guys are making!!!! awesome

[7Taline7]

Is Russell shouting: " Come on Finland!" 13:33? I understood that they are in Germany :'D

[TheDistortionist]

He... has a Line 6?

:O

[Venomancer86]

you know :D

[evilryu10]

was that publicity for line 6????!!!! coz i wouldnt put a vetta instead of a powerball on stage!!!

[kcajk]

haha no comparison between line 6 and any good 'simple' valve head! i use a 6505+ and the other guitarist in my band uses a powerball and they both sound great. i dont know why people buy line 6 shit!

[Chris641340]

It's great for the studio. This must of been there first go around touring for this album because the second time around he was using Engl amps live with rack effects and such.

[JesterIF]

Line 6 is great if you don't mind not having top-notch rythm sound for the sake of a very versatile product. The rythm tones you can get are more than decent, and the lead tones are very close to the real deal. That is why people buy Line 6 shit.

[TheDistortionist]

OOOH nice combo.

[666JSchaffer666]

seriously! that sir jay guy is such a fucking dick!

[EAICA]

wait why is he a dick? he seem to know what he's talking about, he's very fluent and from what he said to Michael I didn't find anything offensive or to be upset about. what's your take on? why do you think he's a dick?

[666JSchaffer666]

lol very funny!

[EAICA]

so there's no reason after all... You just like to make a statement without backing up what you have to say... hmm nice... so much for your false statement.

[666JSchaffer666]

Lol you were being serious!?!?!?

He is so up himself!, he thinks he is god or something! And he is seriously annoying!

Even romeo wanted to punch him out in this interview!

Like when they were talking genres, romeo corrected him saying all they wanted to be called was metal, not all of the sub-genre shit, yet just after that sir jay went back to calling them this symphonic, progressive, melodic crap.

He needs to tone down the ego!

And that caparison does not look like a strat!

[jhezmiki123]

kill that bitch pig.. he definitely doesnt know romeo fucking tard

[Ricpall14]

Thats the same guy who talked to Mille of Kreator

[worldismorphing]

Somebody should behead the interviewer and send the head to SPV headquarters with a message: How powerfully uncool this guy was and how fucktarded you have been to hire him. Hire another one like him, and we'll drown you in a bucket of liquid shit and drop a turd on your grave every fucking year after...

[Baktor]

Russel Allen live is absolutely stunning. As is the rest of the band obviosusly...

[The3irik92]

9:23.... that's why i'm chasing the dream!

[deathmetalheaded]

@The3irik92

That's still the best comment I've ever read.

[ofulm]

you can see that Michael wants to crush his face...

[Twixgtx]

Sir Jay a.k.a. dousche bag Quentin Tarantino.

\m/ Symphony X \m/

[andrewh817]

So funny to hear Romeo cuss....... fuck yeah

sounds like hes a wee bit tipsy

[smiljanicn]

one of the most underestimated progressive bend here in Europe!

[sk8nguitar4evr]

that interviewer is a fuckin joke u better have more respect when ur talkin to a god like romeo

[WillyLee23]

It's like he's being interviewed by Quentin Tarantino.

[icec4p3d]

That is exactly what I was thinking

[notoriousstewie0]

Yeah cause 10 minutes is enough to enjoy some groupies you ungenorous bastard...

[increddavisstuntman]

X rules so fucking hard.

[xPurpleDrinkx9001]

Dont call them X. that is sooooo gay.

[TreborJanessIII]

They have gotten so much better live. I can't wait to hear some new stuff!

SYMPHONY X!!!!

[necro09]

romeo inspires me than petrucci..i listen to petrucci's work but it didnt catch my attention..and when i hear dream theatre songs..its lyk the drummer is more emphasized than petrucci...SX were really great..theyre songs are stunning...the timing was great the melody and notes are pleasing to my ears..hahaha..and more i just dont know how to explain it..thats why i really lyk SX

[robweese]

I think he was just tired of Sir Jay's annoying interviewing style, it got on my nerves, and I wasn't even the one being interviewed. Then again, I could be totally wrong.......

-=RoB=-

[Smc316]

Pfft if you think michael is cocky you should see the interviews out there of all the big thrash metal bands!

Conceded to the extreme. :P

[andrewh817]

He's a pretty humble guy from what I've seen, I think the interviewer is just pissing him off a bit.

[alvagingra2]

8;00 it look like a strat WTF?

[magicfreak14]

His body movements remind me of jack black haha

[thegreatcarls]

This guys create the metal for the new era!!

[ofulm]

the interviewer is such a jerk. it looked like Michael wanted to beat the shit out of him. what is he? three years old?

[ArcaneLifeforce666]

lol, Mike's talking actual guitar stuff and that fucking dickweed interviewer doesn't know shit.

[megamanxx69]

OMG, some1 know where I can find those recordings?

[edmega332]

what the hell was that bands name... oh yeah EVERGREY! how could you forget that name?

[xPurpleDrinkx9001]

because evergrey sucks

[MRZEDDA]

how many times he said "you know"?

[MoneyMaker4Ads]

saw symphony-x live last year supporting dream theater,,kicked ass,,totally crazy night,,that live footage didnt do their live sound justice,,live,,its as heavy as hell,they was heavier than dream theater

[djeikop]

Wow, the host was a jerk, lol xP

[ubershredder1989]

man the interviewer is such an ego douchebag... but funny tho

[thatmun]

Romeo`s face at 11:35. LOL

[SilentCircleFan]

Sir Jay is the man!

[icec4p3d]

Sir Jay reminds me of Quentin Tarantino.

[locusmortis]

sir jay is a knob.

[rubendrakkar]

Al Di Meolaaa RULSSS MANN and ROMEEOOO TOOO GREAT GUITARRIST

[jrk8387]

that host is a fucking douche pussy who probably listens to Nickelback and John Mayer, which are also pussy musicians

[tomasrguitar]

michael romeo is pure metal

[Brasker]

the host should fuck a goat

[Neoclassicalguitar89]

ARGHH would someone mind to blow the head of the host?

[petar870602]

the host is so stupid that if he knew it he would kill himself!!!

[punketron]

what a doushbag host

[punketron]

amazing vochals and everything is amazing about this band

[juliancscs]

Where was the bit where he traded licks?

[HjalmarGuitarMaster]

Let us all go and hang the host!

Nah, maybe not:P

[Josephdorf03]

The host is weird and awkward. He's trying and failing to be funny. They need to upgrade to a better host.

[Xpandd615]

I still think there's enoguh prog in this album to make it goog, but I still thinik DWOt was their 2nd heaviest album, and one of their most prog.

WTF's w/ this host?

[LanaTheTrainer]

Symphony X sounds fantastic live. And the tv show host ruined what could be an interesting interview.

[exbogus]

'im not that cool just yet' hahahaha

man this guy sings fucking lot

[SilentEcho777]

Wow, that host is a Grade A homosexual.

Symphony X is my favorite band though, so I watched the whole thing, haha

I miss their old stuff.

The Odyssey and Twilight in Olympus were their two best albums.

[RE4Freak]

Divine wings of tragedy was there best for sure.

[TelecasterKid]

this host is fucking irritating... I think Michael wanted to choke him

[Symphoniclace]

lol - i know Tele i would not mind if he hit him ... probaly be not annoy like that if he toned down his voice ..lol sounded like he was 18 and really f**king nervous meeting and being near a god such as Mr Romeo

[TelecasterKid]

he's just trying to hard... yah if he'd just relax i'd be able to tolerate him

[josh131987]

hes a faggot tho

[dethmaiden1991]

michael lepond looks distinctly metal at 1:11

i must agree the interviewer is annoying, you can see romeo's smile slowly diminishing

[Morfy]

lol after he know's there are 3 Michaels he says "I could've counted that myself." but I doubt it xD.

[HjalmarGuitarMaster]

that guy should be hung for sure LOL

[HjalmarGuitarMaster]

It looks like a strat BLA BLA BLABLA BLAAA

It's like if he couldn't see the difference between a fucking apple and fucking BEEFYOGHURT

[HjalmarGuitarMaster]

LOL "What the hell kind of guitar is that?"

That is like saying i'm gay and stupid and it was a fucking bad idea to let me interview a GUITAR GOD

I bet he havn't even heard any of their songs

Talk about FUCKING WANNABE haha

[pekenginnocente]

WOW THE VOCALS ARE AWESOME .. really

[Morfy]

Rusell Allen ^^

[breyerfreak121]

the god

[SymphonyX4Ever]

Russell Allen* XD

[Morfy]

aww come . . . I just can't typ xD

[dionyses7]

He is also annoying and disrespectful of the band and their equipment.

[dionyses7]

Sounds like the interviewer is either a moron or really nervous.

[pilettovarius]

Cool

[org1n]

9:29 -- kick ass!

[turdburper]

I was referring to the interviewer, not Michael Romeo when I asked how he got that job. Sorry if there was any confusion. Symph X kicks ass for sure.

[lVeljkol]

Alo srbine pa oni imaju koncert u smederevo na castle fest ko ne dodje propusta sansu da cuje najbolji progresive bend na svijet...

[doriamedina]

Russell Allen's singing is amazing on the live footage.

Definitely the best rock singer of today!

[SmokeAndMirrors2]

7:22 hahahah

[mexilla79]

Sir Gay

[banjoboy55]

look at michael romeo's smile when "sir jay" says "I'll let you get back to the groupies or whatever"... sure thing he was thinking about something

[andest]

saw Symphony x the other day for the first time...what a fucking band!!! Michael Romeo rips with ease. One of the best for sure.

[undertakerii]

ROMEO RUUUUULES!!!

[shjoed]

You can definatly tell Romeo is a big Randy Rhoads fan just by his playing. Symphony X Rulz! Ozzy Rulz! Randy Rhoads R.I.P.

[turdburper]

What a lump of cheese. That dude got that job HOW?

[gekhoofd17]

Sir Jay=gay and a loser. A wannabe metalfan

[khraken90]

i want a warm up guitar too..XD

[1Love2Customs]

the live footage here is amazing! Symphony X DVD soon please?? Does it seem to anyone else that the band HATED this guy (host) though?

[cameronbecker69]

u mean beer......how is that kryptonite for anyone...its is the elixer of life

[mad00002]

I ask again: Where is the trading of licks mentioned in the info?? Misleading!

[718385809]

恭喜你精彩，恭喜你发财

[bmobmo]

This Sir Jay dude is like a Rand Quaid from hell. ON CRACK! Good lord...

[Utubesuxmycock]

SIR JAY= NOOB NOODLING NUT GOBBLER

[GuillermosPriester]

WOAAA!!! 5 STARS!!!

watch?v=hSYW7TPP-AM

ANOTHER OFFICIAL VIDEO FROM SX!!!

[Utubesuxmycock]

MICHAEL ROMEO=ADAM SANDLER

xp.............omg

[powermetal91]

THIS GUY is so intursive...

[SeaOfLies07]

Romeo looks like hes going to punch "Sir Jay" at 5:45

[Greuh]

ROFL yes, he's liked he's so pissed off

[1Love2Customs]

They absolutely DESTROYED in Massachusetts last Friday. Godly band!

In honesty, I love DT, I really do, but in my opinion their last great album was 1999's Scenes From A Memory, and everything after except a few songs was pretty mediocre. By comparison, Symphony X only seem to put out stronger and stronger albums. I hung out with the band for a while last Friday and not only are they amazing musicians but excellent people too!

[fatherhennessy]

It's too bad they never come to Milwaukee...I'd like to at least see them live one time. Oh well, at least I have the CD's for now...

[VladGargo]

lol DT play Progressive ROCK not metal newbies -.- and this is for painkiller also the new CD of DT SUX they play NEW METAL :S SUX

[SRNF]

wrong Dt is Progressive metal < a mix of both genres

[Roggit]

Sir Jay???????????

Knob

[ExplodingGuy]

michael romeo is one badass lol

[samis1bigboy]

im seein symphony x in april and i cant wait great video but i hate the host guy hes just anoying

[FlowerFlo1983]

I like Romeo rather than Malmsteen. Yngwie may be a guitargod but I think he's a boaster and I don't like his songs.

[TheMeatfilledTaco]

I agree with you man

[painkillerhatecrew33]

i see simphony x with dream theater in october...i'll never forget it... but don't forget guys, that dream theater are the fathers of progressive metal...bye

[TheMeatfilledTaco]

That is true.. But i like SYmphony X more, i ain't hatin on Dream Theater ;)

[jummi99]

In the video Allen yells "Come On Finland!" (@13.32). I was at the show and it was really cool. Allthough lead guitar sound was a bit weak.

I wonder if SVP will release that show as a DVD. Wouldn't that be cool to see Dream Theater & Symphony X gogs on a same DVD?!?!?

[mokipor]

no it wouldnt be cool,i like DT but i like Symphony X far more and i want SX DVD of the solo concert

[iloveasdf]

Where was Jason Rullo?

[magafi1984]

Two words....

FUCKING WOW!!

[Haeh]

Man, i loved the live-footage in this one! They GOT to release a live DVD!

[OmertaTV]

hahaha, "No Straps."

[djsewell]

yea... i saw them both and symphony x blew them out of the water

[rushfaster]

dude i cannot even try comparing michael romeo to john petrucci, michael romeo is way way better than petrucci. but to be honest with their new album,i think they are losing technicalities.

[ducky811]

I hear alot of people say that Romeo is better. I would love to see them have a jamoff. That would be heaven to guitarists everywhere. Petrucci damn sure can hold his own against ANYBODY!!!!!!!!!!!

[metalsg]

yeah... both petrucci and romeo are extremely great guitar players (actually the 2 guys that inspire me on guitar playing) none of them are really better, both are great (and different) geniuses

[Nightcrawl6]

they was 1000 times better as Dream Theater on the last tour. Yesterday he used just ENGL cabs, no Line 6. The sound was fucking great!!! they had a good stage action and they played Dream Theater under the floor

[ryanpetrucci]

i don't know why, but it seems that even Symphony X has been in metal scene for a while...they just getting more and more attention these days and now i said that they truly deserve it...

Twilight in Olympus, Divine Wings of Tragedy, V, The Odyssey and Paradise Lost has been always helping me to dream^^

Who wouldn't agree if we pointed SX as a "new" Prog metal legend beside Dream Theater to look upon^^

[FatMancubus]

Hey, I agree with you...

PS: Romeo is getting older!!! =)

[pcarpernet]

haha, guitar tone is dogshit

[vengeur41]

Yes... I don't understand why he doesn't play live with his ENGL amps...

[veni21]

Last night in Berlin he had ENGL Cabs... couldn´t tell about the head though

[vengeur41]

When I saw them in Toulouse (opening for Dream Theater) he was using Marshall cabs but with his line6 head... If you have heard the same kind of sound as in this video, it was the Line6 head...

[rockithoney]

In Stuttgart he played Engl cabs and heads as well and it was a blasting storm :))

[Magro02121983]

symphony x...........the best band in the world. yeah!!!

[SergeyMelnik]

YESSSSS!

[tarikonda]

the interviewer is very cool,nice interview and thanx for posting it

[Tariqdevil]

SX Rocks !!!

[seppesai]

uli john roth! link me please

[LetsGetTanked]

Nice interview and love the live footage!

[NIGHTFALLX]

Best band of the world...Their feeling is divine.

[VigoGatsu]

FUCK, they have to release a DVD right now!!!! Russel Allen and Romeo fucking own the earth!!

[metalsg]

for sure, if you saw a live concert that's the purest truth, russel allen and romeo fucking own \,,/

[tibortru]

romeo is great! very normal, and laid back... other guys too... I really wanna see them live... btw I'm from Serbia and they shooted both their videos here and I couldn't catch them.... I was so fucked up.... welll I hope if they shooted videos here perhaps some day they will come to perform a concert

[mad00002]

Nice interview! Michael is so laid back compared to the Guitar Chapter. But what what what? Where is the lick trading promised in the description? "Michael Romeo trades licks with Sir Jay!" I want to see and hear Mikey play!

[KainIRL]

he looks of his face at the start :P

[KainIRL]

whooooo!!!!!!

[Gianfrancoco]

Hell yeah!
