Symphony x - The eyes of medusa

live metal

[@Ulfnarr]

russell allen is a powerful singer and a gifted interpreter. he's never too passionate and less skillful nor too technical and negletful of pathos. i think he's one of the voices of metal that will always be remembered.

[@jesusgrc1762]

Awesome band! Hint to all cameramen filming concerts: learn the difference between a BASS and a GUITAR!!!

[@Slaygull]

His voice blows my mind

[@viperboy749]

I'd kill to hear this generation of Symphony X tracks played live again.

[@FatMancubus]

Why Jason Rullo is so underrated? :(

[@OliverPereira82]

Because world is not fair, that drummer is simply perfect, sounds like an old school drummer like Ginger baker, Phill Collins, something like that an absolute beast.

[@osborne1971]

I would love to see Symphony X, Fates Warming, and Dream Theatre tour...legends!

[@TheDarkEternalKnight07]

Qdd Queensrÿche and you have the Big Four of the early Prog Metal!

[@zapan250]

fcking camera look at the bassist while romeo do his solo

[@MarcosCreeperRnR]

Great performance!! Symphony X!!!

[@Cestariarts]

I don't know which version is better, this fast one of the slow on the record, I enjoy both and they have a different bite to it. Fucking awesome

[@osborne1971]

I agree you can't compare the two - I think they are both AMAZING BANDS!!!

[@rediscoverySX]

Best band on te fucking world, and one of their best songs. They play it really fast here, i love this ultra - speed version.

[@Vallejo-man]

I love symphony x!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[@slawko8]

Excellent sound!!!

[@bebop900]

@codibick Too true, they're both completely different, and both amazing

[@luanafabro4351]

I love POWER METAL music (symphonic & progressive rock), symphony X the best.!

[@88omair]

SX isn't power metal. It's progressive metal with classical/symphonic overtones

One of the best ever, i'm not sure if the best, but at least in top 3.

[@vatolegato]

that intro with the keyboards is AWESOME

[@keysoflight]

Michael you kick ass, so do you Michael, and you too Michael. hey wheres Michael?

[@sepita10]

"(...) of medusas eeeyes OH MY GOD"

[@ZachValkyrie]

@Mynameisfukingtaken At 3:25 Mike LePond is all like: "Hey cameradude! Look over there! He's playing the fucking solo, not me!"

[@senamuc]

Esto fue tomado de festival italiano llamado Gods of Metal y es del año 2003.

[@ducky811]

You are right. He had not had his Caparison guitar yet at this point.

[@nielsvejlyt]

Russel is incredible !

[@YsAbTones]

Great Upload !!!

[@tatoartv]

Wow they played it so fast

[@avcescharly]

jason rullo rules

[@tastefulphrasing]

Imagine this singer with dream theater. Thats all dream theater is missing, is an incredible singer like russell. No offense to james, because he seems like a cool guy, but lets be honest.......

[@TheUltim8Apocalypse]

I was on a hike in Mammoth near a lake, and had their album V playing with my good headphones, and the beauty of the music and the nature almost brought tears to my eyes. Dream Theater is technically better, but nothing beats the atmosphere and musicality of Symphony X. And why do they show the bass player during the guitar solo? And awesome vocal performance!! My Favorite band, right next to Nevermore, Opeth, and recently Pyramaze.

[@DenkaDe]

" Not by me" :D Great fucking band

[@maurorock445]

Such a band

[@Minotauro_di_Chieti]

Audio/video performance level: italy.

[@SpardaYaga]

Monstro!

[@BenMc1981]

best drummer ever, i dont give a shit

[@MrMedusaLvamp]

I SWARE AT 2:05 YOU HEAR A "FART"....BETWEEN 2:05 & 2:06!!!...THEN RIGHT AFTER THAT HE SAYS "Oh My God!"...THAT IS FUCKING HILLARIOUS..."TOOT!"..."Oh My God!"..the lyrics just happen to fit there!

[@bobrock1575]

It's bass

[@Mazen39]

at 0:41 the guys in the back are amazed by pinella and lepond and on 0:58 wow nice tapping

[@tastefulphrasing]

You should check out Devin Townsend. He is also an amazing Metal Rock singer. Let me know what you think.

[@CharlesViante]

awesome!!!

[@longinus101]

A Kick ASS Song!!!

[@alonso6182]

@tinathefatlard0 very nice, dream theater get some things very good, and symphony too

[@codibick]

Symphony X and Dream Theater are two different bands, cannot compare the two of them.

[@YYZSoHoYYZ]

eh eh...io li ho visti dal vivo...sia loro che i dream theater...mi hanno dato 10 anni di vita!

[@MeTaLMaNN1983]

@ironwolg Dude they say that about each other. They respect each other as musicians.

[@diegohiroshiysusvideos2909]

Ashh mi sueño es verlos en Argentina en Vivo! T-T please

[@Radkappenhamster]

LOL...Allen looks like a surfer boy with his outfit!

[@drumboarder1]

Guys, stop comparing DT and SX... both are insane and deserve respect...

[@dani1928]

Symphony X+Dream Theater together. John Petrucci+Michael Romeo that'll be really awesome :D

[@TheSonsofHorusx]

MAN I WANT THAT PURPLE ESP

[@Uvtond]

@ETURIA eres afortunada!yo hablo tambien espanol!....esa clip la tomì en emule 3 anos atras, es de un concierto trasmitido en una television privada italiana ma no se si existe el concierto intero, lo siento =(..

[@iluvsystemofadown]

Give some credit to the keyboiarder guys lol the things he plays bring symphs music to a higher level of music. theyre all very veery talented musicians. ilove them all very dearly

very impressive live performance! The vocals are totally strong and fierce! I used to listen this when i was 17 now with 26 i can see its really good considering the style.

[@MB-ic8sn]

Those guys behind drummer need to be kicked off stage for not jamming to this. Respect the X

[@mr_guitar_plum]

@Uvtond so what !! he's not a bodybuilder... he's a friggin sick guitarisT!!

[@RAVENEDD]

YEAAAAAAAH!!1 THIS IS SO FUKING PROGRESSIVE

[@mightyUFO]

Judging from the "hello Suomi" I recon this is from Finland. I know they visited Finland 2003 with DT but have they been here after that. I really want to see them..

[@scarfr156]

@zapan250 Yeah otherwise the camera would break and then they couldn't finish filming the concert.

[@JonnyGR04]

Oh my god...

[@mayquinones2120]

@Uvtond gracias, yo lo busque por todos lados y nadas =( pero gracias igual =)

[@psicodrumelambrmetal]

hahaha is true this vocalist is much better tha labrie i think he is the beast in this band whit michael romeo

[@rushnerd]

It's Dream theater done RIGHT, no atrocious vocal's and the greatest bassist on the planet , using a stick. Not only did they not need lyrics, it's one of the few groups that were so vocal in their melodies you didn't even notice the lack of singing.

[@BenMc1981]

SX's better than dream theatre by a mile. Now, lets be honest....... every musicians doing their job better in SX ten fold, best band on the planet

[@Minotauro_di_Chieti]

UAHAHAHAHAAHAH...YOU'RE A FUCKING IGNORANT!!!

[@andreafavelaperez2220]

THIS RIFFS ON THE SONG WAS THE ORIGIN OF THE MODERN DJENT TYPE RIFFING THING, REALLY.

[@ArcadisRazia]

nice; =)

[@omer-sela-rothenberg]

Not only that Russell has Dio's voice, the bass player (is that Lepond?) looks exactly like him in this vid

[@NFDevil]

Bad camera, just when romeo starts his solo, it goes to the basist :o?

[@volta440X]

1 disliker turned into stone by medusa

[@munchenmaury]

we should all support Prometal^ this is a great live performance**** who gives a fuck about there looks! compare to all the fucking garbage outhere,radio,tv etc...! keep up the killer tunes**** LONG LIVE PROGMETAL"

[@SjPedro]

@tinathefatlard0 I actually like both of them in different occasions I prefer the DT sound and in others Symphony X....Hell sometimes even Bigelf...we are all real music lovers (if we weren't we would probably be hearing tokio shitty hotel and Lady Homo Gaga or whatever) SO let's all agree we enjoy the best that the music industry has to offer nowadays. hows' that? :)

[@mayquinones2120]

Hola. No hablo ingles. Solo me gustaria saber qué concierto es ese y como buscarlo. Hello. I do not speak English. I just like to know what concert is this and how to search.

[@ishlopes7]

O vídeo está legal, mas eu gostaria de saber o que o câmera tem contra o Romeo. ''/

[@LemonheadFr]

is it me or they play the song a little bit faster than the album version ?

[@mtalkpr]

0:56 just like steve harris hahaha

[@MikeAsHimself]

1 person disliked this video... Wtf?! lol Symphony X ownd it

[@ZachValkyrie]

Michael Romeo isn't playing that guitar. The guitar is playing itself out of fear of his fingers!

[@rushnerd]

simply put, theres much less wankery in SX, and I think they take themselves less seriously too, so I find it much easier to respect them. Neither hold a candle to Liquid Tension Exerpeiment though :P

[@C3rberux]

así o mas en putiza!!?? jaja yeahhh Russell Rulezzz

[@MrMedusaLvamp]

There's millions of guys that live in trailer parks who look exactly like this!!!!...They bought the shirt @ Walmart along with the rest of the outfit!...WALMART RULES!!!...DONT EVER MAKE FUN OF WALMART...DUDE!!!!!...It spells AMERICAN MADE!...Ha haaaa! It's too bad the song isnt as dark and heavy as the title sounds..I thought it was going to sound like Wendy O and the Plasmatics or Slipknot or GWAR or...you know...not like Sepultura or yawn..Korn!

[@Drewb18c1]

@cda1117 haha yea...you can tell that they're dorky guys pretending to be rockstars...but it's ok, i love them anyway because they make incredible music :D here i think part of the lack of stage presence is cause due to the terrible appearance of the stage itself

[@drums4metal]

its leponds bass, i know it sounds like a fart, i laughed too but, its the bass

[@wolfgange63]

Russell is awesome. However he needs some different attire. LOL

No man, I wanna dress like him.

[@robweese]

I too am a professional player on this same skill level, I wish all bands would practice more and sound this good live. Awesome playing!!!! -RoB-

[@renanrebirth2065]

What did Russell Allen say in the beginning of the song?

[@thebambam2091]

Renan Rebirth "dance for me"

[@str1ker12345]

camera fail at 3:18

[@TheJohnPetras]

Symphony X rules... however Allen chose a weird choice of clothing for this concert. Thoughts?

[@undeadtheory]

russell looks G from 1:19 to 1:25 lol

[@PJyrstinkangas]

@Uvtond Yeah, fortunately not like Timo Tolkki

[@MrMedusaLvamp]

Sounds like KANSAS or Petra...ehh?

[@psicodrumelambrmetal]

noooo the best is mike portnoy!!!!!!

[@Ezmhakul8]

hahahahahaha :D lol

[@suiciniv14]

Such a STUPID CAMERAMAN!!! Even the bassist showed him who was shredding!!! 3:26

[@theoblivion87]

actually, portnoy is a better drummer... after all, portnoy is the youngest drummer ever inducted into the drummer's hall of fame. john petrucci has to be the cleanest picker ever, john myung is amazing is solo bass projects, but i do agree that Dream Theater's vocals are worse than Symphony X's, BUT THATS NOT TO SAY EITHER OF THEM IS ANYTHING LESS THAN AMAZING. its just that Dream Theater's song writing hasn't been up to par with their past albums. oh and jordan rudess is a keyboard prodigy.

[@DeathToNewbie]

I like SX, like 'em a lot even.. But what's with the short pants? Come on, I've seen you in a way better attire than this Russell..

[@Picurs]

dream is better? well... if you only consider human beings playing in the band perhaps... 'cause there's no human being playing on symphony... there are BEASTS! but honestly... dream gets nowhere close to symphony x

[@seumickey]

ROmeo é tão gordo! xD mas toca muito...

[@iamdrumgod]

if only the drummer wouldn't keep continuously speeding up, the song would groove like it's "supposed" to. Saw 'em a few years back, and virtually every song is a rush fest. My suggestion is to skip the live shows, and enjoy the CD's, because that is where they shine.

[@seventhbrokenstring]

rating / comparing musicians is just lame!

[@BenMc1981]

to say DT is better is just plain stupidity

[@bet0ivo]

how can a guy be such a great singer but such a terrible dancer/dresser [2]

[@jtromsness]

this band is sweet. but their cloths are awful!!!

[@cda1117]

Awesome band, terrible stage presence.

[@Uvtond]

ROmeo is so fat! xD
