    I don't know if he's contractually obligated to record these, but I'm glad he's finally recording and engaging more with the fans through the internet (i've seen a couple of interviews, podcasts and stuff). Symphony X sorely lacks the marketing and engagement that would take the band to the next level of recognition it deserves. As a huge fan, I hope they finally record a DVD as well as release some full playthroughs and other forms of content. Same goes for Michael's solo projects.
