The Divine Wings of Tragedy by Symphony x is another of their masterpiece
Yes please !!
A must listen
You just reacted to one of the greatest songs ever made. Please react to Through the Looking Glass.
Nice, but can/could they also do this LIVE equally well? How does this compare to this czcams.com/video/IJb3xwtpmmc/video.html or this live version czcams.com/video/45brzDJKZ3o/video.html
If I were to choose the greatest Symphony X song it has to be The Divine Wings of Tragedy.
I still can’t wrap my head around the fact that Michael Romeo composed all the music of the Odyssey by himself using protools. The intro of this song is one of the most epic things I’ve ever heard.
Seen the Odyssey live, twice, both times the encore song. They can do it in their sleep.
ApostleInTriumph1 do they still do it live? I’ve seen a couple of live performances but they are from 2010 or so
#Painintheask Paradise Lost - Symphony X another great song to enjoy Russell Allen voice
Ignacio Menares. #Painintheask, yes, yes, yes, my favorite Symphony X song - brilliant vocal performance by Russel Allen.
p.s. I'm with you Rich, many of Symphony X's mellower passages are very Kansas-esk, vocal tones are very similar.
Yes please
Probably most epic song ever. Sir Russel Allen is the best rock/metal voice ever.... Gonna see SymX live june. Stoked!
This is it, the Masterpiece of all time, Symphony X - The Odyssey!
BLIND GUARDIAN. No matter wich Song, anyone they are all great
Actually Odyssey is one of the best their songs! And maybe the best for understanding what SX is. It almost has every aspect of their creations! Amazing song!
Well not to forget actual book ;)
This song is a MASTERPIECE!!! If you enjoy long songs, I can suggest other suites: "The divine wings of tragedy" and "Thruoug the looking glass" - Synphony X; "The ivory gates of dreams" and "A pleasant shade of grey " (a 54 minutes long song) - Fates Warning; "The Queen of the City of Ice", "Ghostship" and "First light" - Shadow Gallery... nice reaction!!! Greetings from Italy!!!
Simone D'Angelo FW-Ivory gates of dreams...great recommendation!
Did they react to The Great Escape by Seventh Wonder already? This 30 minute masterpiece has become probably my favorite epic song ever
Russel Allen - Michael Romeo . Perfect , like always. Great Reaction.
‘Iconoclast”is another great Symphony X song.
Siiick knew you guys would love this one. I will suggest The Edge Of Forever by SX.
PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE
It's probably one of my favorite songs of all time. It's so beautiful.
Not their best, but my favourite one: deep and original. I cannot express what happens when I listen to it.
@@thecheif00 Yup, it's such a diamond in the rough, that song. It's one of their best and always gets overlooked.
Thank you sir for the reaction to my favorite band/song , I hope you have a happy life toghether. Greetings from Greece
Opeth - Burden
love the pfp
Fantastic. I feel it was inevitable that you would love that one but you really got it. Excellent stuff.
You guys are unbelievable! I have never seen a reaction channel push out so much content on a day by day basis like you guys do.I would think I speak for all of your subscribers here when I say words can’t describe how much we appreciate your time and effort you are putting in for us total strangers to be entertained by you two.i know you guys are loving the music and the responses you get in the comments but be careful not to get burned out or have this channel affect your sleep,work,,etc.You guys are amazing! Thank you for getting to this song so quickly.It’s been 11 days and you guys have already done 5 songs that I wanted you guys to react to that are personal favorites of mine.Thank you!
darrell wood awe, thanks so much dear Darrell. We so appreciate your kind and thoughtful words. Yes, burn out.... we discuss it frequently.
Our master plan is to get through this initial big list of suggestions and then keep the pace to 3-5 reactions a day.
You are correct, we LOVE doing this with all of you and it has become one of the best parts of our day.
Thank you for being here and for being you.
Much love ❤️💜💛💙💚
Piel de gallina hermano! Romeo es el puto amo y Allen te hace viajar, que bárbaro!
So glad you liked this one. Symphony X is one of my absolute favorite bands, and I'm lucky enough to have gotten to see them play this live a couple of times. It's always a massive crowd favorite!
Look at those faces ... i mean Symphony X ! what a legendary band and song ! please do more Symphony X ! would recommand on the edge of forever
Thanks for the content. Really appreciate you guys. See you in Jacksonville!!!
THis is hands down the best reaction i have seen.. You guys are so sweet! And Symphony X is also my favorite band :) I'm gonna see em live this coming may \m/ You guys just got a new sub!
One of Prog Metals finest.
love you guys..keep it doing..special with symphony x they have some beauty songs like comunion and the oracle.
You and/or your subs/fans have a great taste for music.
Tarmo Tyyri oh thank you so much for your thoughtful though I cannot take the credit as this is almost 100% new to me.
I am along for the ride and it is actually all of you who are the amazing and knowledgeable tour guides.
#MetalLand is kind of like Disneyland for metal heads. 😊 thanks for being here with us!
And all of it especially when Russel kicks in. I WILL NEVER FORGET IT.
Hey guys im Canadian too. I came to Texas in 1976. Im now a disabled veteran. I proudly served the United States. Im also a guitar technition now. Sorry to hear about your son Rich.
Thanks guys.
You guys are awesome
You guys are the reason why you have so many subscribers,genuinely nice people who listen to music with open minds.
Epic song. One of my favorite from SX. Definitely The Odyssey album is the highest point of SX career
Just discovered your channel. Love the way you enjoy good music. This song is a masterpiece! Love rock more then 45 years from the beginning with Black Sabbath till Dynazty ( Sweden) in 2020.
These guys are incredible!!! You definitely hit the ball out of the park on this one. Symphony X is an incredible band. All their albums are great!!!
I can't like this video enough man. I've been a Symphony X fan since I was like in the 5th or 6th grade . I remember the first time I listened to The Odyssey . It solidified my love for Progressive Metal. Seeing you guys react to it took me back to my experience with it. Blew my mind then and it still does now. I'm glad I got to experience it with you two now.
This song is the epitomy of epic songs, and one of my favorite songs of all time - thank you so much guys :-)
If you haven't already, read the actual Odyssey by Homer. It's one of the oldest poems from Greece.
Thanks Doc
One of my all time favorites, along with The Divine wings of tragedy. Great to see new people taking to this amazing band.
Kamelot - Center of the universe.
Studio version.
I love all your reactions, greetings from Mexico
For the first time I see something like this and you know what? Hahahaha I like it !! Very nice guys and I already like you both lol
Again, you guys are awesome
In addition to seeing their reaction to such incredible music, I have to say I love watching how they interact with each other as a couple. Rich is so invested in the music, and the way Kel is there with him every step of the way. She looks at Rich with an unbelievable tenderness and love - that is rare gift. I wish I could listen to music with my girl like this - but we just aren't aligned in our tastes the way this couple is. Amazing couple.
Michael Romeo is a genius 🤘
I will never forget the moment the place at home, the old computer, the joy, the shock, the clothes I was wearing when I heard this. I wish I could relisten this for the first time.
I just spent my lunch break watching this. Half an hour has rarely gone so quickly. I love this song. I've seen Symphony X five times so far and never seen them play it live. I'm really hoping that will change in June when I see them again. If you get the chance, have a listen to some of their other stuff, like Communion and the Oracle, Set the World On Fire, Nevermore or such like. Russell Allen's voice is amazing.
Really hope you'll go back to Rush at some point and do Cygnus X-1 Books I and II. And Riverside (Second Life Syndrome or Left Out or Escalator Shrine). Would really love to see more reaction channels check out Cellar Darling, too (Six Days or Insomnia or Death).
Guess I should get back to work now . . .
Steve Damarell thanks so much for writing in! We are thrilled to be a part of your day.
Wow, you have seen them 5x - outstanding!
Nevermore is on the list and we are working our way to them 😊
Steve Damarell and.... more Rush to come FOR SURE!
☄️🎶💫👍🏼😉🎹🎸
I saw them in 2003 during that tour and they played the entire album and it was simply amazing!
Oh man I just love this song! No words for this.
SX - Communion and the oracle
Gotta do Divine wings of tragedy aswell now. Another Symphony X masterpiece.
Symphony X boils down to one shiver after another. It takes you to the sophistication of classical music, opera and at the same time bringing with it a revolution of feelings and energy typical of Metal.
Thank you, so much!
I have had a really crappy day. It’s 11:35 PM and you both just put the biggest smile on my face by reacting to one I (may have) requested - my favourite Symphony X song! :)
Humayun Qureshi wow - thank YOU so much for sharing that with us. One of greatest joys is to have the smiles on your faces and the laughter in your bellies are we encourage each other’s exploration and joyful antics.
Thanks for your comments and for being part of the ride AND for your persistent suggestions! We are listening and aim to please.
So happy we could brighten up your world, thank you for giving us the opportunity. 😉
HOLY SHIT! You actually did it!! That's 2 out of my 3 favourite songs of all time! If you ever have 30 minutes in your life you don't know how to spend, please listen to "The Great Escape" by Seventh Wonder.. you'll love it! #PainInTheAsk
Now.. I know what I'll be watching for the next 30 minutes.
What an awesome song and reaction! Thank you!
Most underrated piece of music on the planet, name another? My favourite song of all time. Ps i love you guys, your outlook on life is one to admire. Keep up the good work
When champion of ithica starts it still gives me massive goosebumps, this release is pure perfection
My god someone really did THIS. I fuckin love you both!
Much love back to you @WhySoSeries?
Both The Edge of Forever and When All is Lost are incredible songs!
This is my first video I've seen from you two. Great song choice, been spinning SX in my playlist for many years. It's nice to see two people who appreciate art like this. SX has so many good songs. If I had to pick one for ya... I would go with "The Edge of Forever" from their second album, the first with Russell Allen behind the mic.
As for a song similar in scope to this, Dream Theater's "A Change of Seasons" is a must listen. Their performance in New York (2000), while not as polished as the studio version, has the added benefit of being able to see them play it and that's worth more than a better sound.
After typing that I looked at your past videos and see now that you have already heard that one. Well then, I'll suggest something different. Seventh Wonder "The Great Escape". A 30 minute epic with perhaps the best voice in metal, Tommy Karevik. Oh, and if you do check this song out there's a lyric video which helps to explain the story. It's well done.
Bryan T thank you so much for taking the time to send in such wonderful comments.
Yes
Yes
And yes, we want to experience it all and we will in time. There are no bad requests from any of you so bring it, brother. 😉
We spend about 10-12 hours prepping and recording right now and we do about 8-12 reactions a day to try to keep up with the landslide of requests and comments. Our channel is only 12 days old and so we are having to create systems to manage it, but...
We
Love
It
And so we are inspired and motivated to do as much as we can to increase the experience for all of you and for us.
If you would like to have a song reacted to here is the sneaky route....
Send Rich a message through the channel messages that looks like this:
#PainInTheAsk Band name, song title
I might also recommend sending that once a day until your wish has been granted 😉 . Persistence and patience pay off.
Hopefully that helps. Thanks again for your comments and for playing along with us here in #MetalLand!
Thanks for reacting to this! :)
jcrosato thank YOU for being here!
Amazing, their best composition so far.
20:41 till the end Champion part is sacred. DO NEVER AGAIN SAY ANYTHING MEANWHILE! Not upset I love you!
Guy, we can see in her eyes. She loves you so much. Take care of her. Also, I love u two
hahaha I saw that sneaky few comments for #Metalheadchick by the guys. nice attempt though! :p
I did one yesterday for one of my favorite fellow Nightwish Fans, Ann Waychoff. We share a favorite Nightwish song called Song Of Myself. I love both the album and live with Floor, but the album version is with Anette, and has a lovely verse at the end that the live does not feature (understandably so) which comes from their movie, Imaginaerum. For me personally the song came at a rough time for me and became my soul song. I had just lost my parents when I first finally listened to the album and saw the film (it had sat on my mom's nightstand for weeks before I finally opened it up. it was her last gift to me before she died and we shared a love for Nightwish, which is partially why I love them so much more now.)
I have to say I've only followed since the Ghost Love Score reaction, but I adore you both a lot already. Im usually really a lurker. I only religiously watch another channel or two, and now I've started to do my daily CZcams prowl where I go to your channel and watch everything at once like I do with the other channels I watch. you guys hit my top 2 already :O
I'd love to get in contact with you guys regarding a token of appreciation I am working on, I've done such a thing in the past with others just because it's fun, if you could email me @ decembyr1221@gmail.com unless we add one another as friends here via CZcams we could chat, I believe. Ihave other SM too that would allow us to speak further :) thanks for being awesome! I'm so glad I get to be here to watch this channel grow so fast in just a matter of days! And I always try to remind people to stay true to themselves and dont burn yourselves out. we (at least me) are here for the long haul, friends!
Dare I say this song is a masterpeice? 🙌🙌💖🎉
No better way to wake up with the notification that you guys experienced this band for the first time. This song was actually based upon the story of Troy, you know with the Trojan Horse? The funny thing is when you said this is a setup, a big setup... You were just about accurate as that's about the point in the song and story where they used the Trojan horse to gain entry.
Also that part where you mention the guitar lick, was actually bass. In my opinion these guys are also virtuosos like Dream Theater in their own element. These guys also have a repertoire of styles that you can mess with. Most of Symphony X's early style is Neo Classical, Michael Romeo, the lead guitarist usually adds little touches of symphony pieces in his guitar work and other elements of their songs. I think Kel would love these when hearing them come up. Modern Symphony X in my opinion is just in and after the Odyssey album and it's a lot heavier but still technical and raw. I really think you'd like digging more in to this band and support whatever you guys like to hear by these guys, even the epic fan CD rarity Star Wars Suite.
I see you know each other's sweet spots and it's funny when you guys know it's coming and you look at each other while the other has eyes closed. Is almost on queue lol. You guys keep enjoying yourselves and I hope you guys can continue to heal from your heart break.
Wow and wow @MM. Deepest appreciation to you and your good wishes. We will visit your suggestion big time. Big love from us to you. Can’t wait until later when we return to more listening, grooving, laughing and loving with all of you terrific human beings. Professional grade....
Matthew MacWilliams wow, that is all I can say, wow. Thank you so much for the fantastic information regarding the song, the band and your thoughts on what you see going on between Rich and I.
He is my muse, my Prince Charming and my King. I feel so privileged to be able to share this life time with him and walk beside him as his wife.
We are absolutely having such a great time working on this together every day and it has quickly become the highlight of our day.
When we started 12 days ago it was with no intention except to throw some reaction videos up.... we did not expect, nor could we have possibly imaged what an amazing outcome it would produce.
We are continually awed, warmed and inspired by the high level of intelligence, thoughtfulness, kindness, compassion and love shown by all of you - ultimately complete strangers.
Thank you, thank you, thank you for being you and being here with us.
Alright! It’s time for Nighwish ...Song Of Myself (Live from Wacken 2013!! Another fantastic song!! Keep up the great channel guys and tell Kel I’m GOOD with whatever she wears !! 🤘🤘
She says 'thumbs way up Paul'...and thanks you big time. Pretty funny, isn't it? I guess it means that people are paying attention (to WHAT, we really have no idea...distracted easily I guess..........SQUIRREL!!!!!)
Rich-n-Kel yeah, there are definitely alot of people that need to grow the hell up!! Keep rocking 👍🏻 oh and I think I already mentioned it but .........SONG OF MYSELF!! HaHa!!
Been a guitarist and Rush fan for 26 years, so when I say that Symphony X nailed it, with this "Epic" song, you gotta believe there's a lot of thought behind that!
You guys always make the good choice
The most epic song of epic songs 🤟
Holy crap! I live and was raised in Victoria, BC!
Didnt realize you guys listened to this tune! What an adventure eh!!!!
Huge thumbs up for not just listening to the instrumental parts, but trying to imagine what they're implying! "Oh this is a big set up! ... Oh he could be successfully coming home"... Loved it!
9:42 is not rhythm guitar. It is a killer keyboard solo. Glad to see you doing some of my favorite bands, Ghost, Nightwish, Symphony X, Black Sabbath, Deep Purple. I know you have reacted to Blind Guardian. Try "Grand Parade", last song on their Beyond The Red Mirror album. My favorite Guardian album and their best song in my opinion.
Michael Romeo is the guitarist and I believe he wrote all the orchestral parts of the song this one of my favorites from them
First thank you for your inspirational passion for your love of music just a question do you both collect music such as cds, vinyl if so could you show your viewer’s what you have collected that would be awesome thanks again it’s been a joy to watch you both.
This song is close yours eyes has enjoy... Awesome.... 🤘🏼
Best band of the world de Heavy metal.
Simphony-X is fantastic
I knew Kel would love this song cause of the epic orchestra going on and the vibe of the instrumental song parts giving u exactly the feel for the session of the odyssey going on!
May I suggest more Symphony X for you guys? I know exactly what u both wanna hear !
#Paintheask
Symphony X - Through the looking glass
Bruce Tonet it had both of those parts, his killer riffs, and her epic orchestral pieces.
another incredible band!!!! Michael Romeo is one of the THE most underrated guitarists EVER! Check out more!! Russell Allen AMAZING singer! My favorite song Paradise Lost off the album of the same name.
NICE! Thank you for more SX! Try Awakenings.
the best all time music! GREAT SX!
I always get chills at 21:25 it's amazing.
Great song i would suggest poem 58 by chicago
Thanks guys. It just made sense to me and i guess, all my fellow Symphony X fans in the comment thought the same thing after seeing lots of prog on the channel and a non-trivial amount of symphonic metal, that prog mixed with symphonic metal would be great to your ears. My pain in the ask moment :) Adagio - Niflheim i'll keep requesting it because i know no one else will, and i guess this would be a great b-day request for me but i wont cheat...until november :( . Bit of a diatribe of the reaction channels in general: The fact that you and a lot of other reaction channels choose what they react to based on amount of request, in other words, popularity, makes it that, as you grow in views and subs, the songs you react to become more and more the same as the other channels. Then again, I really cant see a better method of selection then the amount of request :( B-day is one interesting method to stay unique and I applaud you for that. You guys are still good in terms of selection i guess, in the sense that a lot of the songs you reacted to so far arent that popular in the react to rock / metal channels of youtube. Finally and you probably know that but its worth repeating, especially in that context: Popularity doesnt equate to quality ;)
ahhhhh!!!!! love it...
Metal on ice 😂
Russell Allen rules!!
Another request for Haken--Falling Back to Earth. I know Kel has particulars with the use of dissonance, and this song uses and handles dissonance so well, I think you'll thoroughly enjoy it. The 3rd section has melodies that are other-worldly, and use dissonance as sort of ghost-note(s) that just kills!
This si love guys!!
Please react to Symphony X - "V - The New Mythology Suite" FULL ALBUM. It can only be heard in its entirety.
#Painintheask
Sabaton - The lion from the north
Judas Priest - Painkiller
Nightwish - Storytime (Wacken 2013)
Helloween - Keeper of the seven keys
Manowar - Black wind, fire and Steel
In Flames - Where the dead ships dwell
Candlemass - The well of souls
Mustasch - I hunt alone
Lynyrd Skynyrd - Free bird
Gojira - L'enfant sauvage
Really enjoy your reactions.
Keep on keeping on.
Am i the only one that things about Star Wars in the first couple minutes of this song :)
Check out Symphony X guitarist solo album
Michael Romeo - War of the worlds pt1
It has the star wars vibe all in
Just in case you’re not aware, this song is based on Homerus’s work “the Odyssey” (2nd part of the Iliad and the Odyssey epic). These are the events that occurred after the Achaean (Greek) war on Troy (11 years siege) with Ulysses the King of Ithaca (who designed the Trojan Horse) who angered Poseidon and for that got lost at sea for 9 years with his men and faced several struggles and obstacles.. cheers
Check out Symphony X - Without You It's a shorter song and his voice is sublime.
So sweet
#painintheask Kansas magnum opus, a song from 1976 so great it would be considered progressive if it came out today, 45 years later …. even if you don't do a reaction video Kel would love that whole album
Nicely done, glad you dug it! Well, since you've already done Accolade II, I highly suggest checking out the original, The Accolade, another classic \m/
Bravo, bravo, bravo... ¡bravísimo! 👏👏👏
You just reacted to THE song ♥. Now that you're through some long songs, #painintheask you should react also to Crystallised by Haken. You'll love it!
Keep it up, pibes!
never heard that before , very cool
11:19 that riff transition is sooo nasty, sometimes i listen to this old prog era and giggle to myself at those parts
This is real love
Now. For more SX greatness, I would suggest The Edge of Forever, Sea of Lies, Out of the Ashes, The Divine Wings of Tragedy, Through the Looking Glass, The Haunting, The Damnation Game, Orion the Hunter, Church of the Machine , Smoke and Mirrors, Paradise Lost, Set the World on Fire, The Walls of Babylon, Of Sins and Shadows, Iconoclast, When All Is Lost, Underworld, Legend , Basrards of the Machine, Seven, Evolution, Inferno, Awakenings, Fallen, Fools Paradise, Egypt..... just to name a few lol
You two are absolutely adorable! Also, glad you enjoyed the song. Symphony X has tons of good material, especially their 2nd-5th albums(in my opinion). If you enjoy this song, try “Edge of Forever” for a slightly melancholy tone, “Candlelight Fantasia” for a fantastic melodic style, “A Fool’s Paradise” for a raging power-packed anthem, or “Lady of the Snow” for a soothing, tranquil power-ballad.
Please do When All Is Lost by Symphony X!
A cool moment with this song. Went to a Symphony X concert and two headlining bands canceled on them. They said they had extra time and ended up playing this song (which my understanding is they rarely do live). Was so cool....
