I love this band, I like Rush a lot, I like Dream Theater a lot, but on the other hand I love a good thrash or power metal too... Which is why I don't understand why fans of progressive sometimes think that they are some sort of an elitist bunch. Hell, just read the top two posts...
Jim Matheos style of lyric writing is amazing. So fucking underrated as a musician and song-writer in general. This band is THE ONE band that truly should've hit it huge and didn't. They still have a strong following and they do well, but they're still actually more of an underground act. Pretty insane. In a way I'm glad, because they're like my own personal band, haha. But on the other hand I wish they had their moment because they simply deserve it.
THIS ALBUM WAS THE INCIPIENCE OF PROGRESSIVE METAL, I WAS 14 WHEN I BOUGHT THIS ALREADY DEEPLY ENTRENCHED IN FATES AND ABSOLUTELY ASTONISHED WITH THIS RECORD, NUMEROUS PLAYS AND THANK GOD FOR THE DICTIONARY TO COMPLETE UNDERSTAND THE DEPTHS OF WHAT THEY WERE CONVEYING . JIM MATHEOS IS AN ABSOLUTE GENIUS.
I saw them just the day before yesterday at The Rock Temple in a small Limburgian town (Kerkrade) and I'm telling you: it's a concert I'll never forget. Their flawless performance marked me for life. Although I've been into FW for a long time, this gig marked me for life. I'm the happiest creature on Earth!
how flippin SICK is that first solo of Frank Aresti's, from 3:00-3:12? I got to meet him at NAMM 2011, and tell him that No Exit is STILL one of my all-time favorites, one of the most important albums of that era. 23 years later, it has beautifully withstood the test of time, as brilliant as it ever was...
F.W. QUE DISCO TAN BRILLANTE COMO LA PERFECTA SIMETRIA DE LOS PARALELOS..Y AHORA ESTOY DESCONECTADO...MASTER FATES...GO...¡¡¡ACA-2011...¡¡A.N.D..¡¡¡¡.
OMG RAY ALDER IS THE DAMN MAN !! LOVE HIS VOICE AND ALWAYS HAVE MAYBE EVEN OVER GEOFF TATE AND BRUCE DICKENSON !!! SORRY HATERS BUT THIS BOYS VOICE F'N ROCKS !!!
Love this band and song....the fact they get less comments than my band makes me weep...tears of joy. I grew up with these guys...but they were about 1/1000 as cool as THought Industry...another Metal Balde debacle.
the BEST! everytime i hear these guys i think of my brother chad that passed away a few years ago.he loved these guys so much..good times brother rest in peace.....
@johnmckenna80 yes, that's a fact, he was a monster player but the music was mediocre. Being scariest, I tend to look at content as much as execution though. Cheers m8
@MagicManMe You're right, they are a godly band! :D
I'm not sure, but you might like the band Angra (ever hear of them?), like maybe their song Time from the Angel's Cry album? You should check it out ;)
You must be a Christian republican conservative, seeing as how you are completely anti-progress. Artists are on a journey, insipid entertainers are stagnant and useless.
Umm no. Not a Christian or a republican or a conservative. I just don't like the Fates Warning with Alder. they should have changed the name of the band when he became the singer because it does not sound like their early shit with Arch at all. I'm not anti-progress, but I am allowed to have my own opinion, and it's right!
Your opinion is "right." Do you understand the concept of a rhetorical paradox? You wrote that all albums with Arch are "way better," so, define "better" in a concise and universally agreed upon manner. You also said that FW became a different band, that's true, but it didn't make them a worse band. They upheld and expanded their artristic principles. Rush did the same. But I suppose you think that when Neil peart joined the band their music went to hell. You prefer FW with Arch, OK
Funny you should mention Rush, because they are one of my favorite bands and they only made one record without Neil Peart, so they didn't sound that much different to me. However after the Signals album they changed and none of their records after that were very good to me. I suppose you like Van Halen with Sammy Hagar, too, or Iron Maiden with Blaze Bayley. Accept without Udo or Judas Priest without Halford, etc. It usually doesn't work. Not trying to start a dick measuring contest, but hell!?!
Actually I never really quite liked Van Halen at all, or Iron Maiden for that matter. Also ironically, I really prefered Rush's post Signals work, the three albums up to Presto are probably my all time favorites. But Snakes and Arrows never leaves my rotation. I pretty much like it all. I'm a prog/fusion guitarist myself so I get really bored with groups who really "stick" to a specific genre.
Prog/fusion guitarist, now I understand. You are not really a true metal head like me, which is fine, to each his own. I do like some prog/metal bands, check out Mastermind-Angels of the Apocalypse, Symphony X, Dream Theater or old Skylark (more symphonic/prog/metal).
People, Its this simple, if you cant feel what Fates Warning is saying then you are not true metal appreciaters, they represented metal in every form. Perfect Symmytry redifined metal, too bad poison was around and glam sucked us away from real music!!!!!
i love dethklock and all that shit but at some point you have to break away and incorporate the skills you have aquired into a free form, if ppl hate it then fuck em but more than likely if you are trying and have some skill its gonna wind up kick ass
Fates Warning is one of the most underrated prog metal bands!And Perfect Symmetry is one of the best prog metal albums!I discovered the group 3 years ago and instantly it became one of my favourites in any genre.
yeah, these guys are good....heard eye to eye on satalite radio......checked that out, this is the 2nd song I have heard from them. just found out about them 10 minutes ago
It's never too late to discover great music.If you like them,I would recommend Perfect Symmetry and Parallels as two of their best albums.And altough they have many similarities with Queensryche,I think that they have managed to create a personal,distinctive sound as a band.
I have always loved this song, Its one of my favorites.. It really shows off his vocal range and the music is amazing! But that could be said with all their music now couldn't it :)
hello the youtube veiwers. how are you? my my. how time flies when you're on the youtube. oh dear i have been on the youtube for 5 days watching this video. but my audio is broken so i cant really tell whats going on. good video though 5/5
I watched Anarchy Divine and Silent Cries several times in the last couple of weeks. I totally forgot about this song till now. I remember so much stuff all the sudden
This is probably my FAVORITE group of all time. Just another gem of a song from them. These guys have a TON of great tunes! Favorite albums are: Parallels, Perfect Symmetry, No Exit, FWX, Inside Out & Awaken the Guardian. The FWX album was their best RECENT effort, I would say - especially loved the songs "Heal Me," "River Wide Ocean Deep," "Wish" & "A Handful Of Doubt." It's too bad that there isn't MORE music like this! Talented band.
@bass1134 Don't get me wrong, I love Fate's Warning. Parallels helped me get through a divorce. I just like the way Alders "damaged" voice sounds now. It seems like he was over singing in the early days with Fate's. Redemption's song writing is more complex and I prefer them to Fate's, but hey, you can't go wrong either way.
@VinmanMJ23 yeah i feel you man, parallels is my favorite album of all time i got to admit. its all good music anyway. redemption to me is a bit heavier and can find some what in other good bands out there too. but yeah lets enjoy our music and rock on!
@MagicManMe .....you said it bro. I agree whole heartedly. This is one talented act. Fates rocks, did back in the day and still do today. One of THE best hard rock/metal acts to ever come out!
