Aside from being a natural genius, Michael Romeo taught himself orchestral composition, I guess it's not that hard for him to include classical pieces in his compositions. SX is the best band ever and Mike surely one of the best musician from those last 30 years

Just seen this vid. I always thought of Symphony X as an out of this world band. This must be one of the reasons.
