Savatage is unbelievable. They’re the greatest metal band you’ve never heard of. If their first album “Sirens” had been released by a more publicized record label, I really think they’d be up there with likes of Metallica and Iron Maiden. Don’t forget about these guys, all of their work is top notch. Keep reacting to them! :)
They wanted to put out some more music but I think Paul O’Neil dying pretty much ended any hope of that ever happening, at least any thing of substantial quality. Jon said in an interview that Savatage essentially died when Criss died and it just died a slow drawn out death
SAVATAGE - When the Crowds are Gone btw, that's not Jon in the vocals, that's Zach Stevens. Jon played the keyboards and was still a composer, but wasn't oficially a part of the band then. He returned after his brother's death.
Only watched a documentary on Savatage recently. They had a lot of misfortune with managers and the death of Chris but they continued on and have a fantastic history. Streets is one of my favourite albums of all time
I learned of Savatage back when "Edge of Thorns" was getting major airplay on the local rock station 95X back in 93. I can only hope that Chris Caffery is right and that Savatage is truly working on new stuff this year, it's been over 20 years since 'Poets & Madmen' came out
Excellent. I think in another Savatage reaction from you guys - I mentioned listening to "Edge of Thorns" (clearly you have - I am still catching up after discovering your channel). I wish they would somehow cut the footage they have of Criss to more videos - because they had to have way more footage, for example, filming this video - and the other videos, live footage, etc., and create a mega Criss Oliva memorial video - with all these unseen footage of Criss for everyone who misses him and his music. Savatage is hands down - the MOST UNDERRATED band in my opinion. I know a lot of people say that about a lot of bands - but they had everything - musically, they were masters of their skill; lyrically, they sung songs with intelligence and stories; and the talent there, throughout the entire band was unparallelled and unmatched. In my channel I've collected a bunch of Savatage related stuff (live tracks that I cut to an image and share for others to enjoy and what not).
I'm so glad to see you guys give Savatage so much love. They're greatly deserving. I wore out multiple copies of this cassette wayyyyy back when. Ironically, I love this song but never knew it had a video (and I made Headbangers' Ball must-see TV back then). Thanks for introducing us to the official video.
Savatage is one of my favorite bands. Man... I still remember the exact day how I uncovered them. It was the time when internet was still a bit limited and people used to share information via TCP\IP on local networks. I found this one guy that shared a folder with everyone - full of metal music that I've never heard of before. Downloading Savatage folder was one of best discoveries in music for me.
Zach Stevens band rehearsed across the hall from my band at the studio 15 complex in Rockland, Ma. That was the late eighties, early 90's! Zach had just graduated from VIT in California where he met Matt Leff who had just graduated from GIT! Matt brought him back to S.Shore Ma. and started a band and started writing and rehearsing! In another note their drummer Jeff Plate went on to join the Trans Siberian Orchestra which he is still a member of! Zach has also toured with TSO! Great guys and what a fun time in our young music lives at Studio 15! 🤘🏻
I LOVE that people don’t know TSO, which is now always connected to Christmas started as true metal band. 🤘🏻🤘🏻🤘🏻 blows them away when I tell them. They were always metal. Lol
Both so good too. Music for the soul. Good music to toss to people and transition them backwards into a killer metal band that never got the props it deserved. Haha
Savatage is the definition of the American Metal sound... they were amazing and such an underrated band. I had suggested you review TSO before the holidays.
I stumbled upon this video and I love your story. My wife and I have also lost a child. Music does play a big part in the healing process. I believe it leads us to an area of not escape but just peaceful bliss. I can play my guitar or listen to albums and let the pain of the day slip away. Love the video reaction and you may want to take a listen to Queensryche and Badlands some other great top metal bands as is savatage. Be blessed
This is why your program is so wonderful, you get to hear bands or find bands and get to understand who they are, how they got here, and what makes them tick. Thanks Kel-n-Rich. :-)
I didn't know you wound up reacting to this !!!! I am reasonably confident I recommended it to this channel another's months ago, maybe a year or two more and I believe you were the first one who I have seen react to it! 👍
This album is epic in my opinion! So many great tracks on this one. Criss's tone on this is spectacular! The riffage on this whole album is incredible! They were at their peak at this time and on the verge of skyrocketing. What could have been? I want guitar tone like this!
Correction, Jon is not in a this video. He left to do Doctor Butcher and Zak Stevens took over as lead vocalist for all of the rest of their cd’s except their last one, Poets and Madmen when Jon sang lead vocals again. John came back to the band after Criss’s death. He sang a few songs on the next three cds, but, mostly, played keyboards and wrote songs.
Jon doesn´t appear on the video, but he played the piano and keyboard parts in the album as contributions to song writting and lyrics Criss´ wife survived the car accident, but she never fully recovered and died in 2005
Hello- it's been a minute since I checked you all out. I'm pretty sure it was you guys that turmed me on to Savotage. I don't know how I missed them at the time. For some reason Of Rage and War is just my favorite cut. I love riffs and they have some greatest ever.
This is the first song I remember hearing from them. Then they put out Handful of Rain which was supposed to be just one song (Alone You Breathe) dedicated to Kriss,, but became an entire cd thanks to help from Alex Skolnick (Testament) on guitar. Incidentally, I am interested to see what you think of Testament. Check out Return to Serenity by Testament.
Next reaction should be Alone You Breathe. Jon Oliva wrote the song for his brother Criss after he passed away from getting killed by a drunk driver. Savatage has so many amazing songs. Songs like Sirens, The Dungeons Are Calling, Power Of The Night, City Beneath The Surface, Hounds, Strange Wings, Legions, The Price You Pay, Warriors, Damien, Conversation Piece, Commissar, Morphine Child, and many more are just some of the amazing songs Savatage have.
What's also not commonly known.... Without Dawn (Criss' wife/widow), Zach had NO chance in joining Savatage - had she not pushed hard for the group to give him a shot. And they did. Dawn herself was a tragedy; she was messed up from that accident, as she was in the car with Criss, on that highway. She unfortunately died in 2005.
Really love watching their videos. Rich told his heartwarming story of the silver "v" guitar being his sons. Who passed away. The way to older videos were so much better, they seemed more relaxed and the memory of their son rested between them. Not with the new content in the beginning now the silver "v" is just stuffed in the corner.
They tour as Trans Siberian Orchestra, with has been split into 2 groups, until this year. This year's tour will be split into 3 group's. The original Savatage members were split between the 2 groups. No word yet on how they will split between the 3.
One of my all time favorite bands. Hard to pick one song as a favorite, but I would highly, HIGHLY recommend Ghost In the Ruins off of Streets: A Rock Opera. Love the reactions you two.
The only savatage album I own is Dead winter Dead. It is a concept album, all about the war in Sarajevo, it's excellent, but not really an album I can listen to frequently. But now I wanna dig it out and listen to it again.
► EOT was released in 1993, if that matters, lol. :-) ► Savatage did not "turn into" TSO, but TSO definitely was "spun off" from them, as was Jon Oliva's Pain (JOP), which is probably more likely to be what Savatage "turned into", as Jon used this vehicle to finish, record, and finally release all the unfinished works of his late brother Criss.
Thanks for the corrections and fill ins. That’s how it works best. I can’t prepare to the level it needs. We would never have time to actually do many reactions. No time...
Listen to Chance from the Handful of Rain album. The first record they made after Cris passed away. Alex Skolnick from Testament played guitar, and while Zak is still the vocalist, Jon rejoined to play keyboards. It's an amazing tune
You guys definitely need to give a listen to the Handful of Rain and Dead Winter Dead albums. Very powerful lyrics and great artistic musical work. On a side note, TSO makes their first appearance, I believe, on Dead Winter Dead.
Last time i watched this one it was before 25 years (maybe more). WOW!! tyvm guys! Back at 1990 they came at Europe with a band called VICIOUS RUMORS. You have to listen to them too. Piece of diamond!!!!!! Digital Dictators is a masterpiece album... Underground metal... Today, most of the metalheads (not all) just focus to the mainstream bands... There are tons of underground bands you gonna love if you just give them a chance. For both of you Shadow Gallery (melodic prog better than Dream Theater imo) or Savior Machine (melodic dark) can be your favor bands for long time.... Who knows this one?? MIDNIGHT & JON OLIVA - PAINTED SKIES ΗQ ? MASTERPIECE.... So many mised this one... Please hear Crimson Glory too. One of the greatest metal bands...
They may not be as prog as say Dream Theater, but I still call Savatage a prog metal band. They evolved into a more progressive band as they went along, starting with Hall of the Mountain King. You can hear proggy elements throughout their music.
unfortunally they havent been toureing since 2003 :( they had a reunion show in wacken 2015 together with trans siberian orchestra(TSO). Paul O`Niell got Jon Oliva and 1 other to help composing misic for tso and tso got way bigger the savate ever did " unfortunally" both are gre great tho. TSO writes music and hires vocalist and artists to fill the parts. they have out 6 albums i belive 3 christmas albums and bethovens last night and think it is 2 others ( maybe just 1) absolutly worth a listen :)
During a listening session, I'm forced to listen to Savatage last because all the other bands I'd listen to afterwards will seem bland to me 😅 Please more more more of Savatage and Jon Oliva's Pain, PLEASE 🙏🏻 And "ARK" band too with Jorn Lande, please 🙏🏻
The singer developed throat problems that is why jon oliva wasnt singing and his Brother Chris was killed by a drunk driverwhile Chris olivas wife survived the wreck she later committed suicide.Jon Oliva eventually created a band called Jon Olivas Pain which was a phenomenal venture.
Before I even watch the reaction I want to bow down to you for doing Savatage. Great music, in fact, some of the members created Trans Siberian Orchestra. Which has become a Christmas tradition in my family to go see every year. Please go back and do Jesus Saves from Streetes A Rock Opera. ANY THING SAVATAGE IS EFIN AWESOME!.
Savatage should have been huge. They have so many amazing albums and songs. They had to have a different band name to make it big which ended up being Trans Siberian Orchestra. I love both bands, but Savatage in my opinion is way,way better. The next reaction should be either Sirens, The Dungeons Are Calling, or Power Of The Night. They have so many amazing songs.
Savatage is unbelievable. They’re the greatest metal band you’ve never heard of.

Criss was the man. One of favorite 80's guitarists.
When The Crowds Are Gone .. you guys will love the emotion in Jon's voice and Criss's guitar playing complements the singing and song so perfect.
savatage is 1 of the most underrated band ever IMO
Can't wait for some more Savatage, still my favourite band. Savatage forever
SAVATAGE - When the Crowds are Gone
btw, that's not Jon in the vocals, that's Zach Stevens. Jon played the keyboards and was still a composer, but wasn't oficially a part of the band then. He returned after his brother's death.
david viteri great pick! I would love to see Kel’s reaction to it.I’ve always thought she would love this song.
Sleep is one of my favorite Zak era songs... The guitar riff is tremendous, as were ALL of Criss' riffs
I should have read your post before I posted the same thing🎸
When the Crowds are Gone is my favorite Savatage song of all time! Great suggestion, David!
Criss is the most underrated guitarist. There are no words to describe the raw talent of his. He is so melodic and edgy at the same time.
Exactly. This solo hits every taste bud. It's raw, melodic, anthemic and chunky.
Zach Stevens has a new group, Archon Angel. Their album 'Fallen' was just released about a week ago. Good stuff.
Circle 2 Circle was great too
Only watched a documentary on Savatage recently. They had a lot of misfortune with managers and the death of Chris but they continued on and have a fantastic history. Streets is one of my favourite albums of all time
Criss Oliva, RIP. An oft-overlooked guitar legend. Eternal respect. (I first discovered Savatage in 1985.)
I learned of Savatage back when "Edge of Thorns" was getting major airplay on the local rock station 95X back in 93. I can only hope that Chris Caffery is right and that Savatage is truly working on new stuff this year, it's been over 20 years since 'Poets & Madmen' came out

What a comeback. I love Savatage as well ... I haven't heard any of their songs lately. Great choice Rich.
Thanks amigo. So damn good.

Criss OLIVA. Guitar God
R I P. NEVER FORGOTTEN...
Another awesome song sung by Zach was Handful of Rain!
Criss was great. Savatage's Dead Winter Dead is still one of my favorite albums of all-time!
Kel, I like the hair growing out!
You guys will like their power ballad "Believe."
I LOVE that people don’t know TSO, which is now always connected to Christmas started as true metal band. 🤘🏻🤘🏻🤘🏻 blows them away when I tell them. They were always metal. Lol
Both so good too. Music for the soul. Good music to toss to people and transition them backwards into a killer metal band that never got the props it deserved. Haha
These guys have an amazing catalog going back to the 80's. I vow to watch every one of your reactions to them. Both of you! All the best!

- Hall of the Mountain King - Legions
I miss you guys so much!
We miss you too Scottie. Medical leave atm
KnR
Prayers that everything turn out ok. 🙏🏼
I was in 10th grade in Schertz Texas when this song was on MTV.
Have you done gutter ballet or when the crowds are gone
Powerwolf did a cover of this song.. and it brought me back to 92 - 93.. and reawakening of a love for this band
Love their album covers.
One word....Great 😎🤟🤟
Goodness gracious all the great Savatage material.....

I've always loved this song, especially the solo. Been a fan since 93 or so.
Savatage - Gutter Ballet - Hounds
They've done "Gutter Ballet" already.
@@davidviteris I meant Hounds as part of the Gutter Ballet album
Hello!!!! from Sweden. Good band in fact great band!!! and keep up the good vids. wish you and your beautiful wife all the best!!!!
Zak Stevens is the vocalist on this album, Jon Oliva plays the keyboard Jon was having voice problems at the Time, love this song ❤
Jon doesn´t appear on the video, but he played the piano and keyboard parts in the album as contributions to song writting and lyrics
Criss´ wife survived the car accident, but she never fully recovered and died in 2005
That's a really good song. I didn't know much about this group. I'm impressed.
try "castles burning"
Damn I'm soon to be 54 yrs old. I forgot what a GREAT album that it is.
Hounds - live ghost in the ruins album.
Mentally yours.
Cheers!

Saw'em back in the day with Chris and Jon a couple of times and once with Zach! No bad album!!
I love that Las Vegas Logo. I think you should cut it out and put it on the wall above the guitar. I really do. Good to see you guys!
theres also a lot of songs that Jon has released with band like Jon Oliva Pain where Criss and Jon wrote a lot of the stuff together long ago...
Really love watching their videos. Rich told his heartwarming story of the silver "v" guitar being his sons. Who passed away. The way to older videos were so much better, they seemed more relaxed and the memory of their son rested between them. Not with the new content in the beginning now the silver "v" is just stuffed in the corner.
This vocals is Zach Stevens, not Jon Oliva
Yeah. I get it. Oops.
I fuckin love Savatage, and Cris was a monstrous guitar player!

Tarpon Springs Florida!
Savatage, the greatest, period! 🎸
The most underrated band in the world and the best after breakup song
Still the most underrated band.
You realize that Jon Oliva didn't die? It was his brother that passed (Criss
Oliva).
One of my all time favorite bands. Hard to pick one song as a favorite, but I would highly, HIGHLY recommend Ghost In the Ruins off of Streets: A Rock Opera.
Love the reactions you two.
I was going to suggest the same song! That has to be Criss's best solo, so much emotion flowing from his fingers.
Criss for me was the best new guitarist of the 80s and made Savatage what it was. Sadly never the same without him.
If you've ever lost someone, Alone You Breathe is stunning
Wow been a while since I have heard this one. Great choice!
The only savatage album I own is Dead winter Dead. It is a concept album, all about the war in Sarajevo, it's excellent, but not really an album I can listen to frequently. But now I wanna dig it out and listen to it again.
Hall of the Mountain King is phenomenal!

@@davidviteris , thanks. I didn't know. Not many have reacted to Savatage. Just assumed it was their first one
Seattle Washington was there favorite place to play
You guys definitely need to give a listen to the Handful of Rain and Dead Winter Dead albums. Very powerful lyrics and great artistic musical work. On a side note, TSO makes their first appearance, I believe, on Dead Winter Dead.
Yes, Christmas eve (Sarajevo 12/24).
Last time i watched this one it was before 25 years (maybe more). WOW!! tyvm guys!
Back at 1990 they came at Europe with a band called VICIOUS RUMORS. You have to listen to them too. Piece of diamond!!!!!!
Digital Dictators is a masterpiece album... Underground metal...
Today, most of the metalheads (not all) just focus to the mainstream bands... There are tons of underground bands you gonna love if you just give them a chance.

Sorry to tell you guys the Olivia brothers weren't on this album. Research
They used Testament Alek Skolnick after Chris Passed.
Powerwolf does a pretty great cover of this song. You should check it out.
Savatage : Damien. Please !
unfortunally they havent been toureing since 2003 :( they had a reunion show in wacken 2015 together with trans siberian orchestra(TSO). Paul O`Niell got Jon Oliva and 1 other to help composing misic for tso and tso got way bigger the savate ever did " unfortunally" both are gre great tho. TSO writes music and hires vocalist and artists to fill the parts. they have out 6 albums i belive 3 christmas albums and bethovens last night and think it is 2 others ( maybe just 1)
absolutly worth a listen :)
Listen to this Savatage is the best!!
Gutter ballet please
Doc's drums...
You need to listen to Paradise Lost - Faith divides us death unites us!!
That's not Jon on the vocals this was there introduction to their new singer
Yes. Agreed. Please read titles of videos! 🤣🤣🙃
During a listening session, I'm forced to listen to Savatage last because all the other bands I'd listen to afterwards will seem bland to me 😅
Please more more more of Savatage and Jon Oliva's Pain, PLEASE 🙏🏻
And "ARK" band too with Jorn Lande, please 🙏🏻
The singer developed throat problems that is why jon oliva wasnt singing and his Brother Chris was killed by a drunk driverwhile Chris olivas wife survived the wreck she later committed suicide.Jon Oliva eventually created a band called Jon Olivas Pain which was a phenomenal venture.
would like to see you go back to wasp and listen to the remaster of "The Great Misconceptions of Me" the final song on the crimson idol album
All That I Bleed from same album
Before I even watch the reaction I want to bow down to you for doing Savatage. Great music, in fact, some of the members created Trans Siberian Orchestra. Which has become a Christmas tradition in my family to go see every year. Please go back and do Jesus Saves from Streetes A Rock Opera. ANY THING SAVATAGE IS EFIN AWESOME!.
So good R.T. What a great and special tradition.
That's zack on vocals

Criss was a top 5 guitar player in my opinion and never got the recognition he should have. RiP Criss gone way to soon
Savatage should have been huge. They have so many amazing albums and songs. They had to have a different band name to make it big which ended up being Trans Siberian Orchestra. I love both bands, but Savatage in my opinion is way,way better. The next reaction should be either Sirens, The Dungeons Are Calling, or Power Of The Night. They have so many amazing songs.
God, I miss Criss Oliva, his guitar sound is just unmistakable. Overall, I much prefer early Savatage with Jon on the mic, though.
Sounds like vocalist of queenrych
When the crowds are gone? Gutter ballet? Sirens?
I’m pretty sure live in San Diego Dazed and Confused has the longest version on record and porn star Linda Lovelace brings them out lol
