Symphony X Comments On Gigantour Slot

By Dave Huffy
Symphony X guitarist talks about Gigantour.

Symphony X have been chosen along with Dry Kill Logic to be a part of the second stage acts for the upcoming Gigantour, which features the mighty Megadeth along with Nevermore, Dillinger Escape Plan, Dream Theater and Fear Factory.

Below is Symphony X guitarist Michael Romeo's comment on the tour.

"Originally, our plans for the summer were to finish writing, and get into the studio to finish the new CD. After we rethought everything, we came to the conclusion that Gigantour was too cool of a thing to pass up.

"We want to give a big thanks to Dave Mustaine [MEGADETH] for giving us the opportunity, and a big thumbs up to Mike Portnoy [DREAM THEATER] for putting in a good word for us. Thanks guys; see you on the road!"
