Symphony X - Iconoclast (title track)

[Vonzaku]

Ah, another one comparing Allen to Dio. Y'know what? I fucking love them both.

[XxboVodxX]

6.6.12, Symphony X in Israel, can't fuckin wait!

[DreamTheater1985QL]

Don't know why lot of the don't like this album, same thing with Dream Theater. Both bands are at their very best!

[silentboom77]

@DreamTheater1985QL I think they can still do better =)

[DreamTheater1985QL]

@silentboom77 About Symphony X maybe, but Dream Theater's next album is probably gonna be their best so far, instinct :)

[XxboVodxX]

@DreamTheater1985QL "Next" album? You mean the one after A Dramatic Turn Of Events? I'm waiting for it too, on DToE Petrucci wrote I think almost all of the drum parts, can't wait to hear what Magic will Mangini do with the next record

[lotrdoggy]

The guitar intro sounds like Insect by Spiral Architect.

[AndreBarreto1984]

F****** awesome!!! Some parts remember me of Event!!!

[pallopaapelle]

this is jes.....

[Inuyashathevampire]

Seeing these guys live with Iced Earth soon.

[ChainReaction34]

@Inuyashathevampire

Me too, im seeing them in seattle on the 15th of this month, where are you seeing them?

Warbringer is the intro band as well

[nitramodralag]

@Inuyashathevampire

Saw them both in montreal last weekend! Amazing show!!

[MrT0rture]

@nitramodralag i was there too !! but not enough song of the older albums, but great show though ;)

[TheItsAllGoodTV]

This is my first time listening to this group......fuck yes

[bergrogue]

6:06 ;D

[PolStevenson]

This will be great exercise for me , need tabs <3

[Joeseffel]

8:42 Hell fucking yeah.

[IMZA1793]

DAT RIFF 2:00 Best riff i have heard this week.

[JetSteam27]

The gtr is awesome and the bass player still manages to keep up with those awesome riffs

[dragonman86]

i love this new direction, less "then" and more "now"

[anthrmthrfckr]

Holy guitar solo!!! o_o

[doingyourmomify]

If jimmy hendrix heard this he would have retired

[stratocaster1986able]

The part between 0:25 and 0:52 is the best funkiest metal ever written.

[BenDover318]

does anyone see the dislike bar... exactly

[tiamarquez0]

Your video is a favorite on Dakar

[Purdonnnnn1873]

Does anyone know any more good Progressive/Neo-Classical Metal bands?

[silentboom77]

@Purdonnnnn1873 lately, I've been listening to Vision Divine, Concerto Moon, Cain's Offering, Angra, & Dream Theater of course- maybe you'll like one of them. or you can check out my other vids :3

[Purdonnnnn1873]

@silentboom77 Thanks. I'd heard of Dream Theater, but never listened to any of their songs. I'll definitely check these out.

[Glufius]

@silentboom77 Also, Check out Pagan's Mind & Circus Maximus.

[retsamgod]

@Purdonnnnn1873 There's Pagan's Mind, very famous norwegian power prog. Serenity, also great power prog, from Austria. And then there's Galneryus, a proeminent neo classical metal band from Japan, and therefore delivers that particular brand of metal charateristic of the country. But still great, nonetheless.

[LeoVEggers]

@Purdonnnnn1873 manticora, circus maximus

[h4ms1k]

@Purdonnnnn1873 Yes , Justin Bieber!! lol Symphony x and Dream Theater the best!!

[krickerd]

@Purdonnnnn1873 I like Seventh Wonder. The vocalist is now my all time favorite.

[CarlAfuPhace]

@Purdonnnnn1873 If you're adventurous, you can try out Beyond Twilight, Amogh Symphony or Blotted Science.

[95Rippo]

@Purdonnnnn1873 ASTRA,DGM,EMPYRIOS....from italy ;)

[Jakster840]

@Purdonnnnn1873 pagans mind and pyramaze are good ones.

[VenzaMaiden]

@Purdonnnnn1873 Redemption

[VenzaMaiden]

@Purdonnnnn1873 Try Redemption

[PUMPISH]

@Purdonnnnn1873 No other progressive bands is even half as good as the symphony x!

[Petrukki]

@Purdonnnnn1873 Check out Counter- World Experience!

[twistedstix7]

This alone will make any killer musician happy for at least a week....

[Vinniciusr]

Jordan Rudess told me about this album! :D

[cheepo888]

the opening riff reminds me of dream theater

[FirePower3006]

@cheepo888 Dream theater didn't create prog metal bro, and that kind of riffing was created by toxik.

[cheepo888]

@FirePower3006 i know they didnt lol i was just saying that the opening riff is not unlike what you would hear in a dream theater song

[EXHellfire]

no shit this is my favourite band, the guys are geniuses

[chrismas92]

This song is amazing. Very reminiscent of The Odyessy. Like some riffs sound extremely similar and at 3:07 I feel he should sing 'A thousand riches'. I just found this interesting and was wondering if anyone else noticed it or maybe I'm just crazy. This is definitely music that requires talent and Allen is the man.

[jayfiver]

Holy fucking shit dude!!!!! What a way to start an album.

[thronka]

@jayfiver I heard this on SiriusXM - I wasnt aware it was even out yet! EPIC start of an album. Too bad that iTunes wants you to buy the whole album to get the first track when you can get the others for 1.29 each.

[cheepo888]

i like how under the like bar it says buy iconoclast on android market, i see what they did there

[BillyandBarry]

it's so weird that on justin bieber, lady gaga, and katy perry videos the fans don't talk shit about metal, but on metal videos, we talk shit about them. huh.

[BannedFromHeaven616]

@BillyandBarry I don't think people who listen to metal realize it because we listen to good music.

[coldblud101]

THIS MUSIC TAKES TALENT!!!!!!!!!

[lambofgod1965]

brillant!

[1ROADCREW]

if you get a chance to see these guys live do it

[anthrmthrfckr]

betcha can't fuckin play this. only Symphony x does...

[ronaldmcdonald333]

unreal

[hey10674]

I just wet myself

[mavel72]

@bmstylee007

If you like this one you'll go CRAZY about Divine Wings of Tragedy and V believe me ;)

[ronaldmcdonald333]

unbelievable

[Dargor94]

Epic song,Romero is too much underrated!

[mavel72]

@Dargor94

Who's underrating Romeo?

[Dargor94]

@mavel72 I mean,he's a very skilled metal guitarist and he's riffs are often complicated,but he's not that famous.

[mavel72]

@Dargor94

Yes, maybe is not as famous as Malmsteen or Satriani, but among metal fans and critics he's very popular ;)

[FirePower3006]

Seriously this is the best prog metal song ever! Idk why the other songs from this album have more views because this one is the fucking best!

[negrois]

I just relized that russel allen reminds me of dio.a more metal dio

[dryrotdriftwood]

@negrois How can one be more metal than Dio? Pretty sure it's physically impossible. That said, they are two completely different styles of vocalists, and both are amazing in their own right.

[negrois]

@dryrotdriftwood what i mean is that dio and Russel Allen both express the same amout of emotion in their voices. cant you hear it?

[Superbradman1]

@negrois No such thing exists. He is awesome though.

[CityFannn]

@negrois there is no more metal than dio...

[Zackleytrunker]

@negrois There can be none more metal than Dio.

[JRgamervideos]

@Zackleytrunker Yes =D

[Dtoburn2]

@negrois Nothing is more metal than Dio!!!!!!!!!

[plangentmusic]

Love these guys but their producer has to learn how to mix the bass. It's always lost.

[brs85]

God.. Amazing drumming. Rullo is definitely one of the most underrated prog. drummers of all times.

[Erock09291]

Sick riffing by Michael Romeo as usual!
