Thomas Miller is a bassist who was a member of the popular progressive metal band Symphony X
Michael Romeo tries to explain why he left the band
| “ | I knew Tom for many years, and still I am not sure of the exact reasons. I can only guess from what we (the band) saw. On the first tour in Japan, Tom was very stressed about the situation of touring. There were several episodes where he became sick, had anxiety attacks, etc. Then there was the Chronic Fatigue Syndrome, which he claims he had...and was also getting into this religion thing. So all these added up and he eventually said " I can't do this anymore.". We have no bad feelings toward Tom, and I still find it hard to believe - that someone who I grew up with, played in numerous bands with, and was totally dedicated to music, somehow lost interest. Was it the fear of touring, sickness, or religion? I can not answer that question, only Tom knows why. But whatever it is that he is doing now, we wish him the best. | ” |
Thomas also had provided a monumental role in the song Lady Of The Snow for which says the Lady of the Snow was inspired by a story from Japanese folklore. The character is the Yuki-Onna, she is seen as the mysterious Lady of the Snow. Michael Romeo remembers: "The band was looking for a musical and lyrical theme to represent tonalities and scale ideas for a new song, and Tom suggested the Lady of the Snow story and the music was written to reflect the lyrics." [2]
It is uncertain of the exact whereabouts of Thomas Miller since his departure from Symphony X.
