[@Boudica234]

Criss Oliva OMG! Probably the most underrated guitar player in metal history. Like Randy, taken from us way too soon. Ranks right up there with the very best.

[@vanityrage1984]

Along with Chuck of Death..

[@SeandaleDingle]

@@vanityrage1984 Chuck isn't underrated. He's good, but he's definitely not underrated.

[@ronaldshank7589]

You think about this:Savatage, if you really listen to them closely, tend to remind you of Ozzy, at least in the way they did their music. They're definitely Heavy Metal, of course, but they don't sound like any of "The Big Four" (That being, of course, Anthrax, Megadeth, Metallica, or Slayer). Savatage were never THAT heavy, but they were still Heavy Metal. Over the years, we've seen different styles of Metal come along, but nothing-NOTHING!!!-beats the classic sound of what I call regular, old-fashioned, Heavy Metal!

[@daronolenus3911]

Probably he's the reason I took my guitar & Smashed it to a billion pieces I could never play like that man if practiced for the next 50 years. My personal opinion he's one of the most underrated guitarists I've ever heard. This the pinnacle of heavy metal!!! JEALOUS that's me😩🤐😟

[@marcribaudo1965]

I remember seeing them on their Dungeons Are Calling era tour at L'Amours in Brooklyn or at City Gardens in Trenton where they played with Testament and Nuclear Assault. I always made sure I was on the left of the stage where Cris would usually be, sitting with my mouth wide open and in a trance like state. I've seen some great guitarist in my club days but Cris was just one of my favorites. It's hard to believe it's been nearly 30 years that the metal community lost a true icon.

[@shywhispers1]

Truly one of the best metal songs of the 80’s.

[@mitchmclean3898]

Greatest song of all time imo. I have always loved this song. It's absolutely perfect in every way. Song is excellent, band is excellent, cheesy but in a fun way. The singer should be a stage actor with that level of theatrics, perfect voice, cool riffs, amazing Guitarist RIP. What isn't there to like about this song?

[@daywilliam2918]

mitch mclean Savatage rules!!!!

[@marcustmachado]

mitch mclean Cheese but very metal...remembers Sirens. 80's metal is great, the videos get a little bit dated and cheese, bit thats ok.

[@ignoramustrueface]

That song is the opposite of perfect. If you endorse this, you are a simpleton.

Jon is one of the original founders of Trans Siberian Orchestra and tours with them.

[@douglaslopshire699]

@theaterdream One of those brothers are still alive. Jon is simply producing and directing, but he's still having an impact on today's music industry....

[@vinaymulukutla358]

Criss reportedly used to practice his guitar for 8-10 hours everyday when he was a boy. That's why he became one of the greatest heavy metal guitarists of all time and accomplished so much in his all too short life.

[@darkshad0wz69]

most don't realize before they were Savatage they were called Avatar and I have the ep too which became half Sirens and the other half The Dungeons Are Calling and most think Sirens was their 1st album and it wasn't The Dungeons Are Calling was and i own everything from them and got to meet Jon Oliva from Jon Olivas Pain and he's a sweet quiet awesome man and Jon Olivas Pain was waaaay before TSO was even thought of

[@waterdive122productions6]

@@darkshad0wz69 Sirens came out a year before Dungeons are Calling. Anyways, Dungeons was an EP, not an official studio album.

[@djdethjr]

Probably the most underrated band of the era.

[@Blanquerster]

My first Savatage's song was about 25 years ago. I am still loving it.

[@rokinrandy]

Nah. I even bought a loud system so I can boom it louder than the other guy sitting at the stop light listening to hip hop. And I’m 51 so. Been listening to Savatage since Dungeons. Pantera probably has the best sound quality for kickers at a red light because of the legendary Terry dates produced Vinny kick. But Savatage is on heavy rotation with a few others on Apple Music

[@TheDeadWinterDead]

Criss was so ahead of his time. To bad it he as taken from us. RIP Brother.

RIP Criss Oliva. I remember buying the Sirens album with the original black/blue cover on Par records back when it first came out. No debut album has ever blown me away like that one, and that was 34 years ago, when most independent releases suffered from poor production values. Production on Sirens was raw, but there was no denying the talent of this band. Me and my friends KNEW Criss Oliva's name because he riffed with total style and just shredded in all the right ways without forgetting the song itself. Thank you for posting this video. A great reminder of a great band and an all-time great guitarist that much of the younger generation never got to hear. RIP Criss.
