My dad put his studio headphones on my mother's stomach while she was pregnant with me. He mostly played Savatage through them. Once I was born, he would play this song through his speakers and I would fall right asleep. Been a metalhead ever since.

[@michaellazor5667]

Zack is one hell of a vocalist, but the legacy and Identity of the band is in Jon's iconic, unmistakable & epic voice.

[@distantstorm3808]

It took me quite a while to warm up to Zack's vocals, but I eventually did. But if it comes down to picking one or the other, absolutely Jon.

[@xineohpinakc264]

I wish they did a few more things where they both sang on songs as they started doing these multiple voice choir sort of thing and it would have made sense to have jon be some of the vocals instead of layering Zak over and over plus they could do this live.

[@johnkatsoudas4767]

This band in my opinion never got the respect they deserved. Chriss was such an amazing guitarist. He should have been on guitar magazine covers as awesome as he played.

[@EpicAlexMetal]

Holy truth my friend. THEY ARE METAL LEGEND

[@welbersplgm]

We all know that fame is not related to quality

[@johnkatsoudas4767]

I agree that fame does not equal quality but the thing I don't understand is that Savatage was around the whole time when Heavy Metal was huge and there were many bands that were insanely popular. Savatage in my opinion should have been huge but they did make it huge as Trans Siberian Orchestra.

[@setifaast]

best metal band ever.....RIP Criss

[@robeddy3722]

He would have definitely transcended the "80's Metal" tag that took out many great pre-Grunge guitar players. Would likely STILL be making great music in Savage today, had he lived.

[@69draven73]

He would have been up there a long with Dimebag as a guitar player. Guy was a fav in my book 🤘

[@Mark-kf6qs]

I'm glad to see all the positive

[@Coyote_Man]

Don't know which is better, Zach's vocals, Criss's riffs, Johnny's bass, Steve's beats, or Jon's piano. I'ma just go with all of the above

[@tomdaniels3392]

shut up

[@robeddy3722]

This band became an absolute force, when they added Zac on vocals. Jon is a great singer but there's a loss of...cohesiveness with the style he uses. I saw them in 1988 on the Hall of the Mountain King tour. Great band! Those vocals were just not palatable to a 19 year old MetalHead. My brain was not ready for "prog' yet, I guess.

[@danielspears7383]

All good if it's savatage

[@rockrebelitalia6269]

Such an incredible band, with a huge amount of talent. They went beyond music. Savatage wrote so many emotional songs, good riffs, great solos, fantastic melodies and deep lyrics. Their music always gave me goosebumps and it's a shame they did not became that successful.

[@trendmassacre8423]

This is the very first song I heard by Savatage, and I was blown away by how good this song was! I bought this album via BMG and played the hell out of it. From there I kept buying every album I saw for sale whether it was new or used from Savatage and have been a fan since 1993. This album, and Gutters Ballet are my 2 faves from them!!!

[@nicholasfarrell8403]

This band is a perfect example of having truckloads of talent not leading to worldwide success

[@efraim3364]

at the time there was a paradigm shift happening, hair bands were on the way out and grunge was the thing even tho this band predates hair bands

[@kevincurry4304]

I was 3 cars back on that horrible day heading to the same music festival as Chriss. We did not know it was Chriss until that night when word spread at the festival (Live Stock in Zepherhills, Florida). Lot's of shots held aloft for Chriss that weekend... My wife cried the entire 2 days... I still can't play Savatage around her to this day all these years later. ♥

[@Savatanica]

I remember a blog about a confession on this.I couldnt recall the names but the man said that he insisted on Criss coming for the festival that night to stay at their van.

ABSOLUTE MASTERPIECE!!!!!!!!!!!

[@gunerumut6640]

The most criminally underrated band ever. In my top three though 🤘

[@xan.frodrigues]

I was in high school, in the early 2000's, when I listened to Edge Thorns for the very first time. My friends used to sugest some heavy metal songs writing in the back of my school book during the school classes, to download in mp3. I was initiating in heavy metal world. Still one of my fav songs... brings me good old memories from that time. Everytime I hear Edge of Thorns in somewhere I stop whatever I'm doing to sing the whole song and to watch the movie that passes through my mind... this is a master piece and deserves respect. It's a very beautiful song! RIP Criss Oliva forever!!!

Savatage are the most under appreciated metal band of all time. It is such a pity Chriss passed away so tragically. I hate people like Mustaine telling us how important he is and what a great guitarist he is. There is so much better. And here it is.

[@ივაიოანეჭკადუა]

"Edge Of Thorns" An offering of reasons We put them all in play A covering of treasons That one by one we let slip away A solitary dancer So lost upon her stage I have seen you on the edge of dawn Felt you there before you were born Balanced your dreams upon the edge of thorns But I don't think about you anymore A study made from winter Of summers long ago And dreams that used to glitter Safely now hidden under snow And so we end the chapter And let the stage lights fade I have seen you on the edge of dawn Felt you there before you were born Balanced your dreams upon the edge of thorns But I don't think about you anymore I have seen you on the edge of dawn Felt you there before you were born Balanced your dreams upon the edge of thorns But I don't think about you anymore Anymore I don't think about you anymore Anymore I don't think about you I don't think about you I don't think about you Anymore, anymore, anymore

[@DarcyDigs]

Criss' solo is like an entire song on its own, just incredible. It's all feels!

[@patriciashawl5006]

I got this cassette when I was a kid at a flea market for cheap, listened to this song all the time and was the only one out of all of my friends that not only liked this song but knew who Savatage was. It's tough being an old school metal head in Michigan, all the cool young musicians like me are rare, scattered and dying off slowly.

[@hazimahmedmurad]

I know how u feel, Do u know Dog's D'Amour, You will like what you hear as well

[@neilpatrickhairless]

Heard this song on the radio after knowing about Savatage through an Uncle that was in the music scene in the South at the time and thought some band was ripping off Savatage big time. Later found out after Criss died that it was Savatage who did this song.

I am so glad this metal got airplay back in the day, Savatage was still very unique and rocked it out alwayz = dedication to Rock n Roll, I alwayz will respect that..bad ass tune then and now..

[@phillamoore157]

Such an incredible album. Savatage had a few albums with signs of TSO taking shape. But, this album was the one that really seemed to be where the idea of TSO really started to come through. But, I digress...I think if Savatage could re-make this video, they'd do it differently, as well. It didn't rise to the level of this song. As someone else stated, this is just one more example of a band with an incredible amount of talent that never got their due.....(for all the wrong reasons, as usual). I'll bring up TSO again, in the sense that TSO's success put a big spotlight on Savatage, for the fans that never knew who Savatage was. For those of us who lived through the industry in during the 80's and 90's, we got to live through and witness something magical...

I could swear he was on the cover of one once at least.

[@undercodeofficial]

Great song we all like and remember!

[@ryant3600]

The death of Randy Rhoads made me listen to guitar differently. I was 9. His death made me curious as to who he was. And it made me want to play. Stevie Ray's death made me appreciate the blues way more. But Chris' death. Made me put the guitar down for a moment and just cry. Chris was that artist to me and my life. He just never got the respect that was due. Still makes me sad. But also because of Chris, it has made me pick my guitar up, wipe my tears and really work on technique and tone..

[@MCO2ATL2DTWby777]

[@SpaceTimeManipulatorSTM]

This is the kind of stuff that if I'm high af and hanging out with other "metal heads" and its loud I don't even care who the band is or how big their hits were, its all fuckin great. This guitar player definitely locks it down so no matter how big the songs are on the charts the band at least sounds awesome.
