 | Michael Romeo using ENGL live. Terrible tone? I saw Symphony X live for the 3rd time a few days ago and I was very exited to see that Michael Romeo was using some ENGL's instead of his usual Vetta II. Looked like it was a Powerball with a Fireball for backup, I'm no ENGL expert though so I could be wrong. Anyway, his tone totally sucked. It was completely lifeless and lacking any kind of presence. You could still still hear everything he was playing ok but not nearly as well as you should have been able to. I would like think that most of it was just from poor sound setup at the venue but I was standing right in front of Romeo so I was able to hear a good amount of his tone coming straight from his cab. His live tone with the Vetta II was way better the other times I saw them. Aside from that it was a totally kick ass show  |

  | Mic placement/mixing issues i'd guess. Ignorance is not bliss. Ignorance only hides the truth. And the longer that truth has to hide, the more it stings when it makes itself known. http://www.sevenstring.org/forum/gen...ml#post1166807 Buy my sunglasses!  |

| IMO, I'd say its due to the fact that Michael Romeo has the worst tone I've ever heard. I can't stand listening to SymX because of it. Sounds like a rubber band. Drives me crazy.  Metal... Nuff Said!! NEXT SHOW: Summer Hiatus Website: www.justdefymetal.com MySpace: myspace.com/justdefymetal |

| When I saw them last year, they sounded horrible. The FOH guy they are carrying around with them is just awful. It had nothing to do with his amp.

| IMO, Paradise Lost is a disappointing album. I wouldn't see them just based on that. -------------------  For the full .gif go here. We're writing still, but please, check it out. If anybody asks, I'll pass out copies of wip tracks. |

| The solos were shit all over, fewer arppegios than usual, I remember one solo where he slides an octave or so instead of using a run or legato. The Odyssey is still their best IMHO. |

| I thought PL was pretty good. I've got no gripes with Romeo. My only complaint is the singer (doesn't remember his name). I can't stand the singer on so many songs, because he sounds like he's trying to hard to be heavy. I just find it annoying. |
