Symphony 3 Heavy Metal

Editorial Reviews
Album Description
When I was nineteen years old and playing the Hammond B-3 organ in a band called the Salvation Navy, we shared the bill with the Yardbirds. A skinny kid walked on stage with his guitar and a violin bow. He went on to blow our minds with his his virtuousity and a vision of what was to come. His name was Jimmy Page and he formed and new band the very next year,

Led Zeppelin, with its roots steeped in rhythm and blues, was to become the greatest heavy metal band that rock 'n' roll had ever known.

One particular guitar solo of Page's, from the song "Heartbreaker", impressed me so much that I was inspired to write the fourth movement of this symphony. It was the forceful way he resolved his ideas in the last four measures that left their impression. HEAVY METAL, the second part of a trilogy containing "Symphony #2-REGGAE" and "Symphony #4-FUNK", had its compositional beginnings on January 13, 1987. Work continued periodically until its completion on March 13, 1990.

To attitude, melodrama and pure, pubescent energy!

Annoy Your Annoying Neighbors!.......2003-01-23

Come on - you know they're going to hate classical music, so when your annoying upstairs neighbor decides to vacuum at 1 in the morning, take out this CD and blast 'em with track 11: Mars, The Bringer of War!

Seriously, this is a great CD for getting you up and energized in the morning - and they're darned good recordings. Enjoy!

It's a Hoot!.......2000-09-25

This is highway driving music for me. I love cranking it up while I tool down the road. It's also a pick-me-up. Annoyed by the guy in the car next to you playing obnoxious noise that passes for music? Blast him back with this classical baby.

Moshing in the orchestra pit!.......1999-06-11

Let's face it, the composers of the classical era were the rock stars of their time, complete with all-night parties and illegitimate children. This collection of lease-breaking, window-rattling, ground-pounding classical selections will impress even the most hard core metal head (for whom this appears to have been released for). If the 1812 Overture (complete with cannons!) doesn't get you psyched up, nothing will. Highly reccomended for those who love classical music for the sheer thrill of it all, or those who want to make their way from "Stairway to Heaven" to "The Ride of the Valkyries"!

(I've played this at FULL BLAST on my van's stereo with the windows down and got the wildest looks from other drivers at the stop lights!)

Bring down the house!!!.......1999-03-28

Don't feel guilty, this CD really rocks! For the many people who do not listen to classical music because of a perceived boredom, listen to this CD! If you enjoy driving your car at excessive speeds, skydiving, or being shot out of a cannon, then this CD is probably for you. We are NOT kidding. This music will move you, as well as any furniture that is not bolted down!

Customer Reviews:

Great CD Earth-3.......2004-07-22

My only complaint about this CD is that it is to short. One of the best combinations I have ever come across. From vocals to song writing this is one of the best, hands down!!! If you like this one listen to Andrew W. Bordonis' Earthcubed - The Dark and the Divine... another great CD!!!

Earth 3 has landed.......2003-07-15

Andrew Bordoni is one great composer and guitarist. He has restraint in not making a look how fast I can play CD, although he does show in songs that he can shred with the best. Instead he gives a journey with great composing and band performances.
If you like Prog rock, like Translantic, Spock's beard meets clasical rock, then this CD is for you.

Highly recommended.......2003-06-19

One of the top guitarists in the country, Andrew Bordoni is at his best in this superb compilation of inventive songs. Not only does he display astonishing technique, but his musical sense is unique and engaging. Relatively new to the US rock scene, the British Bordoni, is already scoring with a broad audience who have ranked him among the very best. He's a talent and you will be hearing more from him. Take a listen to one of the MP3s offered above and see if you don't agree.
