 Symphony X have released a response to the recent setlist poll that was conducted online to find out which songs fans wanted the band to play when they hit the road in February.
Symphony X staff member Jax said "I spoke to MJR [Michael Romeo,
Guitars] yesterday, and he actually asked me about the poll before I
had a chance to tell him about it; he was very interested to hear what
the results were. He was on his way out the door to meet up with some
of the other guys, & took a few minutes to write down the top fives
so that they could discuss them; just like the last poll, he was
surprised by some of the songs you all asked to hear. You'll be happy
to hear that he said that they will definitely be using some of the
songs that ya'll asked for. He also asked me to pass on the band's
thanks to all of you for participating, so thank you from the band!
"Also, Set the World on Fire will be played on Headbanger's Ball again
tonight; I think that this is a VERY good thing, that it wasn't just a
one time event..exciting stuff for the band and their fans!"
Jax previously announced the results of the poll saying "I have spent
MANY hours over the past few days tallying all of the setlist poll
responses..holy cow, the turnout was awesome, thanks so much to
everyone who responded (you can bet the next poll will be
automated..LOL)!! In the interest of brevity, I'm not going to list all
of the results, but rather, the top 5 requested songs from each cd; for
the record, the song with the most votes overall was Set the World on
Fire (The Lie of Lies)."
