Hey,

Tell me what you think about Michael Romeo
I like his riffing/soloing very much and I think his technique is amazing.
This sweeping tapping, however its called, he play it so clean, just awesome.

One of my favourites is that one:

SO what do you think about him ?

AMAZING Player, i love Symphony X, The Odyssey is a musical masterpiece!

Absolutely great !!!! is one of the most talented guitarrists (IMO), and I agree, his tapping-sweep (or tapping arpegios) is amazing

Symphonic X is also a great band !!!!

Hell, this song is pretty long oO
But, many different styles in it from melodic, too some more heavy riffing over to some great soloing, very nice

Romeo is brilliant player,I've been X fan for a long time!!

Romeo is great! And he started playing guitar in 14 so all of you who think they can't do it can reconsider their situation! The starting age is not that important!


Love his tapping!

I saw symphony x a bit ago.. it was amazing. Romeo is a great guitar player.. He has very poor stage presence tho

Michael Romeo is #1!
I think he's a fantastic guitar player and composer

Posted by: Gabriel Leopardi Sep 10 2007, 09:46 PM

I agree! Not only an amazing guitar player.. he is a great composer. I saw symphony live in Argentina this year and they did a great show.

I wouldn't call anyone #1! My number 1 is definitely not Romeo so let's just stay at "AWESOME player/composer"!

Posted by: ezravdb Sep 11 2007, 12:52 AM

Let me guess who your number one is

Posted by: Pavel Sep 11 2007, 12:56 AM

Difficult to say..... it's a big fight between Rusty and Luca But yeah i guess you are right...Rusty!

I think we all saw that coming!

Is it THAT obvious??

Posted by: The Uncreator Sep 11 2007, 04:29 AM

Thats about as obvious as the fact that i listen to metal

Posted by: bart m Sep 11 2007, 05:21 AM

i got all albums i know of...including the japanese versions and special editions *g*

romeo had a big influence on me. bought the first album right when it came out, sat down trying somehow to rip off anything he plays because i was so crazy about it. needless to say, it did not work out that well, not only because i was 12 or 13 back then, but also i started playing back then. i remember going to a printshop for a damnation game t-shirt...paid quite a lot of money for it, because the just did not have any shirts :/

... i could say i figured out what hammerings and pull of are by listening to romeos stuff...i still love it all, but back then noone knew of them...so i was even "cool" when older metalheads asked me for example, if i had the new sepultura or wot ever... i replyed : NOOOO!!! i have the new syx...wanna listen? ...well in hannover noone i knew of liked it took quite a while, until the metalcommunity realized how cool that music is...thnx for the internet, everyone knows i find it is also a good example to see that talent can survive also...its not only about making money...

blablabla...back in time metalheads traded tapes good old days :D:D now everyone gets the stuff on mp3 for free :D:D

hats down for the 3 Mikes and SyX in general i don´t know of one week song they have...anyone?

Posted by: visi0n Sep 30 2007, 08:20 PM

it's an awesome guitar player, technique is very good, but i can't listen all the time to this .. its just not my style

Posted by: steve25 Oct 9 2007, 03:24 AM

He's a good player and symphony x's latest album is pretty good. Was that some tapping in his sweeps that he was doing there? If so it sounded pretty good

Posted by: Eat-Sleep-andJam Oct 9 2007, 03:41 AM

Michael Romeo is a very good player. I really do appreciate the music he makes but if I listen to it to much I get sick of it.



Wow and did you see how small his hands are ? Its as if half of him is " Baby Romeo" .

Posted by: The Uncreator Oct 9 2007, 05:54 AM

And his strange resemblence to Malmsteen

Posted by: JOhn Oct 15 2007, 06:56 PM

ha ha ha yeh thats exactly what i was thinking.

Posted by: botoxfox Oct 15 2007, 07:33 PM

I think he looks a lot nicer than Malmsteen tho...
