Michael Romeo is a guitar player with an uncommon level of skill. Over the last 25 years, Michael has toured the world, entertaining fans from his legendary progressive metal band, Symphony X, and silently building up to icon status.

There just aren't that many guitar gods out there anymore, but Michael wears that gold sash proudly and embraces the music that both he, and the audience, adores.

Michael released 'War of the Worlds Part 1' in 2018 and here we are finally getting the follow up, 'War of the Worlds Part 2,' a mere four years later. If you're a fan already, words cannot express what an utterly powerful work of music this is. If you are just discovering Michael, prepare to fall headfirst into this sonic masterwork.

Please enjoy my chat with the kind and humble guitar hero, Michael Romeo, on Rockstar Superhero.
