Two Girls React to SAVATAGE - GUTTER BALLET Official Video

[@burakkececi]

Savatage. Maybe the most underrated band in the world. Great choice! Don't worry about rating. You did great job!

[@billwicketvogel1787]

Absolutely ! The greatest band to come out of the 80's

[@danasfaith5738]

Thank you Burak!

I'd say the second-most underrated, behind King's X...but I feel ya!

Yeah and even more, Savatage isn't only Savatage - just think of Trans-Siberian Orchestra as well ;)

R.I.P. Criss Oliva home town band origanaly from Tampa, FL. Jon Oliva is the singer/pianist. Great band.

[@erroristmusic]

hurts that the drunk driver only had to serve 18 months in prison for taking out the guitar master

Now "Hall of the Mountain King" is a must. Savatage is the best band you've never heard of.

Agreed! Dont forget to include Prelude to Madness when you recommend that masterpiece tho, theyre a set

Oh how I would love to see you react to when the crowds are gone, it's my favourite on this album.

[@steveh88]

I'm so glad someone finally reacted to Savatage. They are criminally underrated. It kills me that most people have no idea who they are. I had never heard of Savatage, but I was flipping around the channels one night and caught the last half of this video on Headbanger's Ball. I went to the mall the next day after work, picked up the cassette and played the crap out of it on my walkman that night.

[@neilpatrickhairless]

Very underrated band. Criss Oliva was one of the best guitarists to ever walk the face of this planet. RIP to him and his wife. Jon Oliva, his brother, is an incredible musician and songwriter.

[@garydugger8378]

Savatage is a rabbit hole the both of you will enjoy going down. So many incredible songs. Enjoy! 🤘

[@krystalraihannahwinkfield2507]

Noticed that you said there was so much happening at once, that was the genius of this band, I loved all their music and spent hours listening and always could hear something that I had missed before, but it wasn't only their music, but also the album cover artwork which I spent hours starring at and keep finding new little subtle things that were hidden in the artwork.

[@gregorykenfield3134]

As others have already stated, Savatage is one of the greatest and most underrated bands to have come out of the late 80's/early 90's. There are TONS of great songs by them that you should check out, including "The Hall of the Mountain King," "The Edge of Thorns," "Chance", and a very often overlooked acoustic song called "Sleep." One of the cool things about this song is that you can hear the roots of what Savatage would become in their next life...you may have heard of the band Trans Siberian Orchestra? Savatage eventually BECAME TSO, and all of the elements of the TSO sound are evident here. In fact, the first hit song from the Trans Siberian Orchestra ("Christmas Eve Sarajevo") originally appeared on the Savatage album "Dead Winter Dead." One last thing...if you watch this video closely, you might notice that one of the gang members harassing that girl was a young Orlando Bloom! Great review...please do more Savatage in the future!

[@dezzconnor8360]

Sorry to disappoint you, but the gang member you mention is NOT Orlando Bloom. This video came out in 1990, when he was 13 at the oldest, and almost certainly didn't look like THAT.

When it came out, I was in the middle of my custody battle for Jenessa, who was still an infant, and I cried the first time I heard it. I won that fight of my life and raised a kind, compassionate daughter with a deep heart and soul. She has two girls of her own now and surprise, surprise, they’re drawn to rock music! They love to come to Pop Pop’s to “play” guitar. There’s nothing better❣️Stay safe and give your dad a big high-five for me! 🤘🏼😆

I see Savatage in my recommendations and I immediately click on the video. Savatage is one of my all time favorite bands, the late Criss Oliva is one of my top 3 guitar influences. It's so cool to see younger people get into their music! Glad you girls liked it. Great job on the reaction video! I wish you good luck on your channel.

[@jubal238]

A copy of Savatage's first album was included in a group of some records I bought from a buddy in high school in the 80s. At first I didn't pay much attention to it, but the more I listened to it I began to realize the band really stood out and discovering their catalog was truly life changing.

React to one of Savatage Masterpiece song Hall Of The Mountain King the greatest song of all time. Along with Fates Warning, Crimson Glory, Heir Apparent, Lethal, Mystic-Force, Enchant, Threshold, Symphony X & Watchtower.

[@BlackieNuff]

Indeed! In addition to being quite possibly their best song ever, it is also their first dipping of the proverbial toe into the waters of taking classical compositions and giving them a metal edge treatment (as the intro track to HOTMK is none other than Edvard Grieg's own Hall of The Mountain King, entitled Prelude To Madness for the band's own song).

[@sidthegekste3391]

Savatage yesss Girllss finally a good band !!!

[@erictorresetd]

Great reaction. Glad you reacted to Savatage. They're a very underrated band. They are very influenced by classical music. Please react to the songs like Chance, Edge of Thorns, Strange Wings or Wake of Magellan.

[@ricksmallwood5760]

Edge of Thorns is a must. imo

[@JoseClMezzalira]

My fav of the band is All That I Bleed, a ballad from Edge of Thorns album.

[@Harv72b]

This was also the first Savatage song I ever heard, well before either of you were born. It ignited a fandom in me that goes on to this day...they truly have an incredible catalog of music which sadly has been quite underappreciated over the years. I never got to see Savatage itself in concert, but I've been to many Trans-Siberian Orchestra concerts over the years...it even became a family tradition until my parents got too old to get to the arenas. I really hope you two will dive deeper into Savatage's music. There's a lot of very powerful songs with some remarkably meaningful themes.

This is the first song I heard of this band. Just a random find, but I was hooked from the first note too!

[@purplelotus517]

As so many others have mentioned, Savatage was so underrated. Criss was an amazing guitarist (RIP). Paul O'Neill really influenced them in the later years of the band and brought a lot of depth to their songwriting. Still have to laugh every time I see TSO and people freak out to the music knowing the band is comprised of Savatage band members from throughout the years. Never thought I'd see elderly people loving Savatage's music so much, but it's in everything that TSO does. Paul and Jon did that to honor Criss, it's amazing. Great reaction video!

The follow up album to this is Streets which is like a rock opera that tells the story of the rise and fall of a rockstar called DT Jesus. It is my favourite Savatage album as it tells a great story and the songs are incredible. Another great Savatage song is called Chance and it features their later singer and has incredible vocal harmonies.

Savatage had a bit of the cheese factor purposely... People didn't really know how to take this band because they were metal af... And at the same time NOT very metal. Serious, but at the same time, not serious at all. Super ambitious band that knew their own identity and was cool with it even though they were never very popular.

[@ll7868]

I haven't listened to Savatage in nearly 30 years until about a month ago when I woke up with 24 Hours Ago stuck in my head, it's from the same album. They're the 1st generation of melodic power metal, a wee bit ahead of their time. Speaking of melodic power metal, try Ad Infinitum - I Am The Storm. Melissa Bonney is an amazing vocalist.

[@danasfaith5738]

Mia and I love this song!

[@BlackieNuff]

Gutter Ballet was supposed to be what became their next album, Streets (a full "rock opera"), which is why there's a lot of similarity between songs like this and the Streets album. I consider them two parts of a whole as far as the "conceptually linked" songs (Gutter Ballet, When The Crowds Are Gone) are concerned. If you liked this song, you will love more of their stuff from this period (1989) onward. Everything before was more focused on the traditional metal sounds. They got a new vocalist (Zak Stevens) in 1993 when the original guy (Jon Oliva) stepped back to focus more on his role of pianist/keyboardist (and he may have been having voice problems as well). Zakstuck around for about 5 years and 4 albums, with Oliva sharing in vocal duties from 1995 onward, then resuming full lead vocal duty in 1999 or 2000 when Stevens left the band... and then, Savatage was officially dissolved soon after. But, Oliva started a new project (Jon Oliva's Pain) which is essentially the next evolution of Savatage, as Oliva used JOP to complete and record all the old music ideas and unfinished demos his late brother started. This era ran from 2004 to 2010, with one final album released under Jon's own name (no "Pain" for this one) in 2013, and that was it. The Savatage story officially concluded and closed. The only thing left of Savatage is Trans-Siberian Orchestra, which "spun off" from Savatage in 1996, and released a handful of albums until 2015. A short while after, the TSO's creator, songwriter and producer, Paul O'Neill (who also produced Savatage since 1987) passed away. Since then, the TSO has not put out any new recordings (not even live albums - yet), but continues to tour annually, especially during the winter seasons (as their 1st, 2nd, and 4th albums were all Christmas-themed, and collectively referred to as the "Christmas Trilogy").
