I worked at a Guitar Center in NJ back in 2019. Thomas Miller walked in and I helped him. At first I didn’t recognize him, but once his name popped up in the computer I asked him “Hey Tom, are you a bass player?” He looked at me confused, “you are the bass player from Twilight in Olympus, The Relic is the song that got me into bass.” His reaction was along the lines of “Wow the Relic, that’s one I haven’t heard in a while.” He was an awesome guy
Thomas Miller es el mejor bajista, compositor y como sus aportes en letras en los 4 primeras placas. Y en Twilight Olimpus fue el más grandioso. Desde mi opinión. Gracias y Saludos!!!
@@tonydemiangomez6101 de acuerdo, en cuanto Tomas miller dejo la banda, su estilo cambio radicalmente a algo mas power metal, pero el estilo de SX original de cuando conoci a la banda son sus primeros 4 albumes.
Epoca gloriosas con Thomas Miller..el señor Bajista..era la base espectacular de Symphony con sus melodias al unisono con Romeo y Pinella en los teclados...un groso..el batero que se parece a Daniel Agostini en su rostro..jaja lo digo con respeto..un exelente batero y El disipulo de Dio..Russel Allen un maestro en su registro vocal..soy fana de esta banda desde el 1997 cuando escuche por primera vez The Divine wings of Tragedy..hasta toque de forma amateur teclado y cantar en diferentes bandas de amigos que siempre interpretamos covers y temas propios para divertirnos..amo la musica y adoro este genero versatil..saludos cordiales a todos..
Romeo is truly fantastic, but he's certainly not flawless. Just listen to 2:47-2:50 and you'll hear a faulty slide, a missed note strike and then an off-pitch bend.
@@simonepetrelly1835 believe so, actually. i remember reading them talk about how weird it was to see a bunch of fans of their music wanting to see them play, which is really weird when you consider they were on their fourth album by then. symphony x seems to always be criminally underrated.
We should talk more about howcrisp this video is. I mean, you can hear the bass clearly -treble and low end-, AND every single piece on the drum kit. Sick.
Man, I really wish Symphony X would play these older songs live again
Seria fantástico. Eu amo symphony X.
Legend has it that the drum tech is still adjusting the cymbal
I love how Russell Allen looks like Mike Patton on this show

Russell has improved leaps and bounds since then, but I miss theese symphonic traks in the recent albums
Best line-up with Thomas Miller
First time we get to see Thomas Miller playing live!
We want more of that!
+Cédric Vielvoye finally a good comment
+Cédric Vielvoye you´re right i was looking for this long time ago
Been watching this vid periodically for quite some time. One of the best Symphony X old school vids.
Thomas Miller!!! the best SX bassist!!
And a VITAL songwriter on all of SX's best albums.
mike laponds the best

God I miss the 90's what a time to be alive.

Totalmente de acuerdo con tu comentario... Thomas me pareció siempre más creativo en la líneas de bajo....
Esa formación fue gloriosa...
Thomas Miller the best bass guitar
DAMN!! I miss those Symphony X.🥲
The best Symphony X
Russell is dressed to kill in this one
great sound, rare for Symphony X footage out there! And Michael Romeo flawless as always!

Yeah, Romeo is hardly flawless at all.
Holy hell that was a smoking song and solo. Michael always delivers!!
I’m glad to see the show on video with Thomas Miller! But I can’t tell if that’s Jason Rullo or Thomas Walling.
I believe this was one of their first ever live performances!
This is from 1998. They never played from 1994 to 1997?

One of the most underrated songs of Sx. Insane!!!
Unbelievable footage. All of the instruments are so well mixed compared to today. You can pick out each note even on this amateur footage
Russel looks...interesting
Haha yeah... I think Michael Romeo told him to wear some baroque style clothes.
That's not Russel Allen, it is Brendan Fraser at his peak.
@@carpedei_ They do have a similar look haha...
I think it looks cool. It matches the music.
@@carpedei_ jajajaajjaja
Michael Romeo
Michael Romeo before the attack of the massive pizzas! and Thomas Miller..........good old SX
Lol he was always a little bit on the pizza side of the force though. That string melting shredding takes a lot of energy.
LOL
I thought he was always kinda puffy lol
Nice! This song has notes so high that Allen himself avoids them live, lol
I need to see more from this tour ! that's amazing !!
Thanks for posting such a rare video.
Great vid. Miller has such a cool laid back stage persona.
Thank you for sharing this
Oh man, I miss those times!
thanx for posting Tom! been waiting for this!
Mike Patton is amazing here
Is it me or does the drum tech at 0:56 look exactly like Phil Anselmo? xD
Thanks Thomas for sharing.
More is highly recommended 🥰🙏
The best tour ever en SyX
Best Regards
Yeaaah. Brutal song. The band looks perfect
Warwick!!! I KNEW IT
Hi bro, great post symphony x is a fantastic band, u don't have more videos about this show?
I feel like I was there! thanks sir Thomas!
Tom walling is good at it too :)
AMINE TALBI Thats definately Rullo, not Walling. Maybe he had already returned to the band at this point.
Not sure, I don't recognize him in this vid, dunno...
AMINE TALBI That's Rullo! I could recognize his perfect strokes even blinfolded, hahaha.
is Thomas Miller on the bass?
This video - 24 June 1998, Nagoya,JAPAN
not Nagasaki.
Tommy!!! It's "Steve Entwistle"!!!!! Remember me??!!!
Anyone knows why Thomas Miller left the band?
Didn't adapt to touring outside the US was one of the reasons
@@SyX512 Thanks, do you know if he's still playing? He was such a skilled bassist...
first 40 secs are like Cannibal COrpse!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
take a look at the height of Allen!
Thomas miller el verdadero genio tras symphony x. Rusell parece un gitano con esa ropa jaja
Good evening, narwhale. At least, that is what I, a non-Japanese speaker, heard
Just noise - especially when it comes to optics. : D
I have Metallica material of an equal magnitude. Hey, it's in color!
