Symphony X - The Death of Balance/Lacrymosa

[jmrvxpful]

The difference between Rullo and Portnoy is that JR makes the drums for the benefit of the song. Portnoy makes his drum`s parts to show his virtuosity and show off. In that sense, Rullo is great at the level of Neil Peart.

La diferencia entre Rullo y Portnoy es que JR hace las partes de batería en beneficio de la canción. Portnoy hace sus partes de batería para mostrar su virtuosismo y lucirse. En ese sentido, Rullo es genial al nivel de Neil Peart

[TiNyHasHx]

Despite that I prefer Symhpony X over Dream Theater I have to say that Mike Portnoy is a Slightly Better drummer Technically.

[DiPedroBR]

BRKsEDU mítico.

[drummingofdoom]

Jason Rullo is awesome!!

I've just had an orgasm

[DamnationOfDarkness]

The awesome moment when Mozart is in the related videos :3

[narutoxd002]

@ chaveznieves: i fuckin hate dream theater, faggot

[THEsyntheticFresh]

Stop comparing dream theater yet, and my eyes hurt to read both Latin and much nonsense on youtube symphony has nothing to do with either dream theater, opeth, dark suns ...

[Ae65Videos]

A mulher de compadre mané pedro...

[haroldplapla]

100 gazillion times better than the "so far away" guys "dragon force"

[chupioftheloom]

SYMPHONY X SUCKS! (Like Primus do... ;)

[Farsight20]

i disliked this.

[toncarmelo]

@Farsight20 On purpose? Or you just mistook the buttons?

[fabriceqb12]

WHAT EUHH THE FUCKEUHHH I DONT FUCKIN UNDERSTANMD WHY 137 PEOPLE LIKE IT AND 1 MOTHERFUCKER DISLIKE IT .... There's Strange people on earth =) Thats Why all the Metal haterz will go in HELLLL =D

[JohnC546]

What are the time signatures in this?

[SensyProject]

the only dislike is 'cause someone during orgasm missed like button.

[MrLopez2112]

The Mirror Riff

[nightflierlives]

Thanks for the heads up bro. And the jam is rocking.

[perkiset]

I dislike the one person whom disliked this song. You have no soul (or too much perhaps).

[Mutantex7]

GENIAL, NO PARO DE ESCUCHARLA, ES VIEJISIMA PERO NO PIERDE EL ENCANTO

[gangsterthomas1000]

@SkyrimPortal agreed they should, IMO, go back to their more proggy style

[Bass6286]

I love how they quote classical music in their stuff. It's freaking awesome.

[TheRockerman17]

this is the best progressive metal song for playing in drums

[SupImMitch]

I wonder if it's just a huge coincidence that a few Symphony X riffs sound exactly like DT songs..

[gmflashmx]

best symphony X song!

[glushtube]

Mike Portnoy? He is from Dream Theater and has nothing to do with SymphonyX, unless he decided to join them :)

[zepedaj63]

fukin aweasome ima cover dis song soon fukin baddass



[Curoch]

*Lacrimosa

[alieninvestigator]

omg.. i love the beginning.. its like the coolest song out there....

[fertski]

Dudes, if you don't like Dream Theater follding the comments, instead of writing more about it, just vote it down :P

[throughXvioletXeyes]

Come now guys. I don't see any Symphony X comments on Dream Theater stuff. I realize there is a comment already like this.. but..

[BoyMeetsDrum]

@throughXvioletXeyes No, buut considering DT is one of the influences, MP produced their last album, and DT is a GREAT band, I dont see why its a BAD thing to compare the two. I love both their styles. SymphX brings a more opera feel to it(Which is good, opera is POWERFUL shit), while DT is more technical w/ their playing. All in all theyre both GREAT bands and I think that there SHOULD be SymphX comments on DT pages, just so that DT fans who HAVENT heard of SymphX can listen to them, and enjoy.

[throughXvioletXeyes]

@BoyMeetsDrum I agree entirely, but it's like.. a thing now. Like it's become almost a trend to constantly mention Dream Theater on Symphony X videos. It's the same thing with comparing Anette and Tarja on Nightwish videos, or saying that so and so many people missed the like button on ANY music video. It's super annoying.

[BoyMeetsDrum]

@throughXvioletXeyes DT is mentioned on ANY "Progressive Metal" video. Thats mostly because thats the only progressive metal band anybody knows, because "hey if you like DT, youre cool" or some shit like that. I agree, its become almost a trend to mention DT. Theyres a band like that for every genre. Like heavy metal, somehow Slipknot is the trendy thing to mention, only for someone that hates Slipknot to shut the guy who mentioned it down w/ "Slipknot can suck my dick". Its the same everywhere.

[Devore1984]

Whats the freeking problem with ya guys? No1 ever mentions symx on dream theater community. one sided fools. After symx i could even sacrifise my other ear.. -_-

[basspl4y4]

seriously. this band takes music onto a next level. fuck today's mainstream music with all its garbage media. THIS IS EPIC

[aleexb95]

I cant believe we actually played this at my school in our music program O_O insane shit. this song is crazy i swear

[bassguitarfreek]

Holy crap, drumgasm much?

[SergioWW1WW2]

i dont like portnoy, he sounds like a midi, but Rullo sounds like a person, thats why i like this drummer, sounds real!!!

[r0ryb0ryalis]

@SergioWW1WW2 Hahah I read this and couldn't help but reply. I love both drummers, I really do, but if anything my first impressions of SX were "hmm the drumming sounds automated..." until I grew accustomed to them. I don't think this way anymore, but still. It's just interesting to me how you accuse Portnoy of sounding exactly how I thought Rullo sounded originally. In the end it just depend on how much effort you put into appreciating different bands and different musicians...they're all great

[Karafliazoproora]

@r0ryb0ryalis Sorry but i can't help myself but reply too :P...I tottaly agree with @SergioWW1WW2. Jason Rullo is one of the few drummers you can actually hear on the record like you can hear if he was playing right in front of you. The sound quality is not good due to financial issues but his dynamics are all completely unprocessed. And sometimes he goes out of rythm if you hear closely :P He is so real!!!

[r0ryb0ryalis]

@Karafliazoproora I agree with you at the present, but years back when I initially heard Symphony X, those were my first impressions!

[Sezzthrazz]

Dream Theater were one of the best prog bands out there.

They lost it after they released Systematic Chaos.

In my opinion.

They're all still great, but in terms of prog, they never went any further than the killing spree they had from Images and Words to Octavarium.

[fredbass77]

make me think about THE CHICK COREA ELEKTRIC BAND in "inside out"(1990 the tune "child's play of tale daring"(track 10).

i recommand you this piece this is an amazing dual between keys and drums(corea with weckl)

it pushes out the human abilities about mastering of instrument and music

[Labil32]

Epic!

The drums at the start are insane.

We're talking Mike Portnoy-insane, and thats saying ALOT.

[SergioWW1WW2]

@Labil32 well Mike Portnoy is not that good, Rullo can kick his ass any time, and so all the drummers that went for the audition when he left. :)

[narutoxd002]

@Labil32 mike portnoy sucks dick

[chaveznieves]

@narutoxd002 butthurt dream theater fan

[1bol1]

@narutoxd002 I can't believe you just said that...

[LazarusErlking]

@Labil32 No, we're talking Jason Rullo insane, and that's even more insane than Mike Portnoy, because Rullo blows him out of the water.

[ZephyrGate]

@Labil32 Lmao, gud one.



[luistejeda93]

@Labil32 Mike Portnoy is incomparable to Jason Rullo

[J0KKI]

@Labil32 Wtf, Portnoy is shit compared to Rullo

[eareshel]

This track is absolutely amazing. Lacrymosa serves to prove that Symphony X can play whatever they want, and still remain melodic and interesting to listen to. As a prog-addict I must say; bravo!

[gabrielevanhelsing]

Beginning rules

[adrianoddr2]

Jason Rullo is the best!

[ecchibanzaii]

Lacrimosa dies illa,

qua resurget ex favilla

judicandus homo reus

[eydos]

This IS the best Symphony X album, I hope they will return to this more progressive approach.

[arthasbr]

@eydos they didnt xD Iconoclast is poor and repetitious

[JohnC546]

@eydos They're actually one of the most progressive bands- many bands keep a set, successful formula. It's an amazing album, but album after album of this same exact style will get boring. Yes, they could make another one like this and not be boring, but successful experimentation of styles is what makes them prog.

[thedarkonespeaks]

@eydos this is indeed their best album its the images and words equivelant for sy x

[Simen0303]

@eydos I totally agree man! This is definitely the most impressive and interesting album the have ever made! They obviously have many other tracks that is mindblowing, but this album is so accomplished.

[miroz1710]

@eydos and the they have created inconclast :)

[eydos]

@miroz1710 Indeed, I like Iconoclast better than Paradise Lost, but still not as proggy as this one:)

[4everKamelot]

this song is so awesome SYMPHONY X ROCKS!

[SirXander]

oooh my god... everytime I listen to this song I get an orgasm...XD

dream theater, porcupine tree, symphony X, pain of salvation, tool... what would my life be without them??

[eydos]

Sir your taste is so similar in music to mine, that I have to say, its quite a happening to stumble upon it. Educated, technical, yet emotionally ample music is MUSIC as it was meant to be.

[eareshel]

Upon stating those bands, you have proved yourself as a man with taste.

[SirXander]

thanks a lot, really. I always try to escape banal things in life. And prog is anti-banal music for definition. and we should say we forgot so many bands there. sieges even, king crimson, pink floyd, yes, genesis, opeth, al di meola, into eternity, fates warning, LTE, mastodon, queensryche, meshuggah, planet x, rush.... so many brilliant bands out there that play wonderful music.

[eareshel]

Makes me kinda wish I was gay. ^^ Enjoy the world of progressive music, my friend, for I am enjoying mine.

[Mullenfreek]

Dont forgot Dream Theater. One of the best prog bands out there

[SirXander]

I dunno how I managed to forget them... they're actually one of my fav bands...:D sorry.

[SteveAnderson912]

slip of the mind, good sir. its ok man

[elegyrulz]

i had this album now i cant find it , im pissed off!

[0wencooper]

This is my favorite song by Symphony X. One of the most awesome things ever.... and so well blended with Mozart.

[TheOrangeFondler]

This is the only song on the album that has an ending! Apart from the last song obviously

[Tiino0]

This could be a Complete Large Symphony is the band just take the time to do it.

Epic Song!

[rushislife]

best tune off V

[petruccisumi]

damn!! rullo will give portnoy a run for his money any day!

[dariusdrums]
