Years ago when TSO was small enough they would do a personal meet-and-greet in the parking lot after shows, I casually mentioned to Paul O'Neill that I heard of TSO via Savatage. He asked me if I actually had any of the Savatage music. When I told him I had the Edge of Thorns CD in my car he sent a security guard with me to get the CD. He and everyone present signed the CD jacket and gave my wife a couple guitar picks from the show. The posters they signed still hang in our guest room.

At a certain time, Savatage had become some sort of a heavy metal version of Queen, which was obvious in their influences when you listen carefully to this music. The band decided to shift away from the conventional shematic metal tune, to expand toward more diverse musical spheres. I appreciate ! Over the years, I have been realizing how great musicians they were.

I was fortunate enough to meet all these guys on the Streets tour. I got to shake Criss's hand and tell him how much he reminded me of Randy Rhoades. At that point he just smiled and said, "one of my favorites too..." Less than two years later he was gone. It was like losing Randy all over again I'm so proud of what Jon and the late Paul O'Neill put together in TSO. It's truly a tribute to Criss, as you will always find his white Charvel wrapped in roses on every one of their albums. RIP Criss, an unbelievable guitarist. And RIP Paul, for your vision that brought these two bands to amazing heights

Even in America. when you have huge bands like Motley Crue who is easily worse than Savatage. Yes underrated.

Such an underrated band! Very sad and haunting lyrics... Kinda applies to anyone old and worn out looking back on what was and what could have been but also excepting the end is near and the race has been ran... They had the total package, song writing, vocals, instrumentals, all of it!

Been on a big Savatage binge over the last few days. So many memories of listening to them non-stop in college. I don't mind what they do with TSO, but really wish they would make another album as Savatage.

Jon Oliva's pain.......It's not the same as back in the day Savatage but then again, what would be? Jon said himself, it's Savatage and what would be Savatage today, so. Check out the album's. They are good. His solo; Raise the curtain is decent too. So I mean, there is more music. Don't forget Doctor Butcher - pre Savatage too.

I grew up in Bradenton, just below Tampa Florida. Savatage was our local metal band. I’ve seen them a lot in the 80’s at small venues in the Tampa Bay Area. Great memories and a great time to be a teenager into metal
