Progressive metallers SYMPHONY X have invited fans to let the band know which songs they’d like to be played during their forthcoming tour. The following was posted to the band’s MySpace blog:

There have been rumblings here and there about the band’s tour setlist & how it needs some changes. We did a setlist poll a few years ago, & I spoke with MJR about it recently & he agreed that it was time to do another one. So here’s your chance to let the band know what you want to see them play on tour!

Here’s how it goes. You reply here (leave your comment here in the blog..comments left on the band’s main page won’t be counted) and tell me what songs you would like to hear the band play on their upcoming tours..give me 90 minutes worth of material (no, the band is not necessarily playing a 90 minute set, that’s just a random number I’m choosing). You can pick particular songs, or just say that you’d like to hear anything from a certain cd, or a mix of both. I’ll leave this open until midnight (US Pacific time) on Sunday night; on Monday, I’ll compile the results & send them to the band, and post them for you guys as well. The last time we did this, MJR was surprised at some of the songs you all wanted to see them perform live, & took the suggestions under consideration. He says they’ll do so as well this time, so make sure you let them know what you want to hear.

Looking forward to seeing what you all have to say!

The European leg of the tour begins next month and includes one UK date, at London’s Astoria on March 6. Support for this date should come from symphonic metal band EPICA, who have had to cancel many of their recent gigs due to singer Simone Simons’ ill health. It is not yet clear whether the band will be able to play by March.
