Topic: Lame Symphony X Question Posted: January 17 2011 at 15:30
Ok, this is probably a stupid question, but Is the band's name pronounced Symphony "X" or Symphony "10" (because the "X" is the Roman numeral for 10)? Thanks.

Just think how stupid the name "Symphony Ten" would sound, lol.
X, not ten. That's the only way I've ever heard anyone pronounce it. It's a legitimate question, though, I think.

Hmm. How about Kings Cross (after the London train station)?

Even thought they are called Kings X I have always thought they meant it to be Kings Cross, meaning the cross of Jesus of course.

Well since we are talking about Symphony X, what's everyone's favorite album? "The Diving Wings of Tragedy" is my all time favorite, but this is one of the few prog metal bands where almost every single release is stellar.

I'm not sure how to pronounce ementet re...that spelling is how it is in my head. Obviously a gross oversimplification.
You are quite a fine person, and I am very fond of you. But you are only quite a little fellow, in a wide world, after all.

I try to not even attempt to pronounce certain Magma titles.
