@safaria Savatage doesnt get the credit the deserve i blame that on Trans-Siberian Orchestra cause some people forget that without Savatage there would be no TSO
Jon Oliva is without a doubt one of the most gifted rock lyricists and composers ever... and so freaking underrated. You have to listen to STREETS, a true rock/metal opera.
Jon Oliva, Piano... Criss Oliva, Guitar... A match that's undeniable. Criss just isn't given his due in this day and age of Guitarists, he was truly a master... R.I.P.
I heard the last 3 songs make up a "trilogy", but I don't see it. Mentally Yours and Thorazine Shuffle, totally go together, but putting Summer Rain in between? What a sore thumb placement. I may piss off a bunch of the purists out there (and I don't care, lol), but I move Summer's Rain to another slot in the track list (as I rearrange all songs on an album anyway as per my preference - except concept albums, like Streets). To anyone that gives a damn (lol), my GB tracklist looks like this : - OF RAGE & WAR - THE UNHOLY - SHE'S IN LOVE - THE HOUNDS - SUMMER RAIN - SILK & STEEL - THIS IS WHERE YOU SHOULD BE - TEMPTATION REVELATION - GUTTER BALLET - WHEN THE CROWDS ARE GONE - MENTALLY YOURS - THORAZINE SHUFFLE - GATES OF HELL [Lost Demo] - THORAZINE SHUFFLE [Lost Demo] - LARRY ELBOWS [Lost Demo] And if I combine the HOTMK album, it alters a bit as I intersperse the HOTMK tracks : - PRELUDE TO MADNESS - THE HALL OF THE MOUNTAIN KING - THE HOUNDS - THE LAST DAWN - SUMMER RAIN
- SILK & STEEL
- THIS IS WHERE YOU SHOULD BE
- TEMPTATION REVELATION
- GUTTER BALLET
- WHEN THE CROWDS ARE GONE
- MENTALLY YOURS
- THORAZINE SHUFFLE - BEFORE I HANG - METALHEAD - SHE'S IN LOVE - LEGIONS OF THE NIGHT - LIVING ON THE EDGE OF TIME - THE UNHOLY - BEYOND THE DOORS OF THE DARK - THE PRICE YOU PAY - OF RAGE & WAR - DEVASTATION - TARGET - 24 HOURS AGO - WHITE WITCH - STRANGE WINGS - STRANGER IN THE DARK - GATES OF HELL [Lost Demo] - THORAZINE SHUFFLE [Lost Demo] - LARRY ELBOWS [Lost Demo]
Back in 91 or 92 my older brother got Gutter Ballet cause it was recommended by Columbia House (some of you may not know what that is). He loved it and started buying Savatage albums and getting other family members to listen to them. I wasn’t allowed to even listen to rock music of any kind growing up, so this was quite a treat. 1998 they were my first concert during the Wake of Magellan tour and it was unreal. They not only are my favorite band but got me into rock/metal and so many sub genres.
yeah way TOO sad I remember hearing that when it first happened I was SO pissed. Poor Criss never got any reignition for his playing. Never made single guitar magazine cover.
This solo has a connection to the universe like no other. Out of every solo Criss Oliva recorded, THIS one will connect you to a higher power and show you visions like no other. Criss Oliva truly had a gift like no other man since Mozart. Brilliant would be such an understatement. Bravo 👏 R.I.P. CRISS OLIVA. THANK YOU FOR TAPPING INTO THE UNKNOWN.
The beauty of this channel is discovering a new band because you showed me why I should like it. I don't find that with others. Thanks for showing Savatage to me guys!
Thankful to hear you reacting to more Savatage. The more you explore them , the more you will appreciate them. If you have not researched the band I would suggest doing so. So much to their history that you could both relate to and appreciate in addition to some powerful lyrics and amazing music... The tragic passing of the uber talented Chris Oliva, the subsequent fall (and eventual rise) of his brother John Oliva, and the story of how a super talented and criminally underappreciated band named Savatage nearly faded away before submitting one of their previously released songs "Christmas Eve In Sareavo" to the record labels under a new band name... the Transiberian Orchestra :)
Nice reference to 'Alice's restaurant ' btw. And as you may or may not know, savatage is basically the heart of the trans Siberian orchestra...be amazed.
I know Savatage ^^ I'm so happy to see people who really love music discovering this amazing band. Your reaction is so pure, so complete, sincere... You're a living mirror of what I feel when I listen to Savatage. Thank you for that !
Love you two! I did not realize until just now I hadn't subscribed. I was too busy playing my part in the Gutter Ballet of life. I've corrected that error now. Now that said - I love that you guys did #Savatage (sure, this is 4 years old!) - but Savatage is my favorite band, still to this day, despite that they're "broken up" (though now working on a new album... a final one, supposedly, entitled "Curtain Call" as the rough name). Anyway - I love how you guys give Savatage a listen - because they ARE the MOST underrated metal band, bar none. Criss Oliva's guitar work in all of the albums (after Hall of the Mountain King, Chris Caffery joined as a secondary guitarist) - but Criss' sound - he conveys so much emotion in his playing... And sadly, some damn Drunk Driver with _SEVEN_ DUIs under his belt - slammed into Criss' car while he and his wife were in it - killing Criss instantly. (His wife would die years later; the death never disclosed as far as I know). And I know you guys live in Florida, but this is where this happened. And you know how long that drunk driver served? 3 years. 3 years of his time in prison, and we're a life time without Criss. (This had impact on Jon, his brother, who is the vocalist). There's so many freaking ridiculously good songs that they've done. Prior to Criss' death, Jon did step down from vocals and Zak Stevens took over - if you've not reviewed "Edge of Thorns" - you will hear another side of Savatage. #Savatage #MadnessReigns
Finally Savatage....great stuff so underrated and a band you can't just listen to once ,so many layers to them...keep it up loving the reaction...METAL IN THE BLOOD!
Just discovered you guys a couple of weeks ago, and I absolutely dig the vibe! Y’all seem to be the perfect couple. That being said, Savatage is my fav of all time. So thank you, and keep up the great work! Cheers from KY!
No need to unsubscribe, simply adjust the settings for notifications to occasional or never. But why would you wanna do that when every notification from this channel yields awesome music👍🏼
Woo my Aunt is over from Vancouver! She emigrated to Canada back in the early 70's. She is Welsh originally. I have visited Canada and it's the ONLY other place that feels like Wales. Ok, maybe Seattle on the US side. Love both. Stay strong, stay together, and stay in the light. X
#Savatage Handful of Rain Longview WA One of the most awesome songs ever. One of those songs you need to read the words and TRY to find what the song means TO YOU. Brilliantly Executed
Hey guys Thanks for this amazing reaction Thought I could hook you up with some golden Savatage tracks: Believe When the crowds are gone The unholy Ghost in the ruins The storm
Wow i love this guys. So happy to see someone doing Sava-reactions.Sorry to load you up with another Savatage song...but even if you don't do a reaction listen to the song Tonight he Grins again. This has been my favorite band since 1989. Everything thing they do is amazing. They are now called Trans Siberian Orchestra.....sadly. I want my Savatage back.
Savatage was awesome. Im new to your channel (I can watch the Silent Lucidity video over and over again) so if you havent done "When The Crowds Are Gone " by Savatage, please do it. Probably one of their best songs.
I´ve been at a Savatage Concert in 1998, a Rock festival, they closed their performance playing Gutter Ballet...totally awesome, Jon Oliva is amazing. There´s a video from this day here around youtube Savatage Monsters of Rock 1998 Brazil
I saw them in Wacken 2016 and at that point I had only heard the Hall of the mountain king and Dead winter dead albums and they opened with this. Fell in love immediately and always get shills when I hear that opening.
Always enjoy your videos, had no clue you guys were Canadian...you should try some Triumph...I recommend The City(all 3 suites)...and since you are on a Florida binge try Crimson Glory's Painted Skys, or Midnight and Jon Olivas duet doing the same...2 metal legends from your neck of the woods.
Oh and I've Had The Absolute Pleasure Of Seeing The OG Savatage Perform Live going all the way back to 87?! Also as well, I've seen and talked and hung out w/ Jon Oliva at Progpower USA here in Atlanta, Ga!! Not only phenomenally criminally underated musician, he's a super cool and super nice and very funny dude to hang out with too!! I also got to see Jon Perform That Night with His Solo Band, (Pain) as well!!
Glad you liked this.. this is an album I completely wore out when it came out. You should look into White Lion as well. so many great tracks.. Radar love, Little fighter, When the children cry, Love don't come easy, Cry for freedom .....
I've been looking forward to this one and hoping you guys were going to love it as much as I always have. Gutter Ballet was my first introduction to Savatage and it's always held a special place in my heart. Thank you both for keeping up all these great reactions! Now a couple of other suggestions for you: #Metallica - Of Wolf and Man; #Wolfmother - Joker and the Thief
Now that you've got the Savatage bug, check out either Of Rage and War from the Gutter Ballet album, or my preference POWER OF THE NIGHT!! You'll totally dig it, daddy-o.
Saw them open up for Frehelys comet back in 86-87? A small venue on Long Island. Maybe 300 people. They were incredible. Next thing you know, they’re opening for megadeth and Dio and I saw them at the coliseum on New Year’s Eve 87 into 88. So under appreciated
I"m half prosciutto. :P I'm so glad you guys got to this song. I love bands that use words so uniquely and such imagery in their songs. I listed three songs already that tie in, don't want to bug by listing again. I think you'd like them. If you do it, you should listen to them all in one sitting so you can see how they tied them together.
Savatage had a three-album run (Hall of the Mountain King, Gutter Ballet, Streets: A Rock Opera) where they were simply magnificent. This is so good. Now for an ask: #YngwieMalmsteen - Icarus' Dream Suite: Op. 4 - ruclips.net/video/T1Va1F1dQWo/видео.html
Okay Y'all, and Thank You So Very Much for Doing Savatage too as well!! I have been A Huge Big-Time Old Skool Die-Hard Savatage Fan, (going all the way back to 84-85 when I first heard (The Dungeons Are Calling) EP, and later, just very shortly after that bought Savatage's Major Label Atlantic Debut (The Amazing Beyond Epic- (Power Of The Night)!! So, I must recommend Power Of The Night as well, as well as Also A Savatage Magnum Opus (The Hall Of The Mountain King) as well!! Just trust True SavaFans Your Journey Has Just Begun!! You're Both In One Helluva Enjoyable Ride!!
I've been waiting for someone to finally do Gutter Ballet! "When The Crowds Are Gone" should definitely be your next Savatage tune! As others have mentioned - Trans Siberian Orchestra sort of arose from the ashes of Savatage - many musical similarities between the two bands, though TSO is more of a theatrical production. There is SO MUCH for you to discover - and I'd like to get you on board with some King's X or Galactic Cowboys - try "In The New Age" by King's X, or "I'm Not Amused" by Galactic Cowboys. Long time lurker - you earned a sub with this Savatage reax!
'Bout time...haha. Now I got one for you that you can listen to in private or experience in a video but, after watching you two all this time and the special love you have for each other, I'd like to dedicate to you: #Firehouse When I Look Into Your Eyes
AND, when Savatage did "Believe" on Streets, they reprised the bridge from "When the Crowds Are Gone" from Gutter Ballet! For even more excellence, check out Edge of Thorns, particularly "All That I Bleed", "Follow Me", and "Conversation Piece".
Hmm, progressive bacon, love it. Hey hey, new sub here, just love this channel, y'all are awesome, enjoyable to watch. Keep up the great work, much love and respect.!.
![Megan Thee Stallion - Bigger In Texas [Official Video]](http://i.ytimg.com/vi/QxTkZTLWdo4/mqdefault.jpg)
Great choice. Savatage were/are criminally underrated.
@safaria I actually said "underrated", not unknown. Although they aren't that well known relatively speaking either, imo.
@safaria Savatage doesnt get the credit the deserve i blame that on Trans-Siberian Orchestra cause some people forget that without Savatage there would be no TSO
I absolutely agree. And metal fans of the 70s, 80s give Savatage post 91 albums no respect.
RIP Criss Oliva, one of the best guitars in metal history
Jon Oliva is without a doubt one of the most gifted rock lyricists and composers ever... and so freaking underrated. You have to listen to STREETS, a true rock/metal opera.
Jon Oliva, Piano... Criss Oliva, Guitar... A match that's undeniable. Criss just isn't given his due in this day and age of Guitarists, he was truly a master... R.I.P.
Criss Oliva and Midnight (Crimson Glory), 2 painful losses that could never be soothed, nor for the fans nor for the remaining band
So fucking true!
#Savatage When the crowds are gone.The whole gutter ballet record is outstanding, you can do everything off it.
when the crowds are gone, that song is ......it's special.
I heard the last 3 songs make up a "trilogy", but I don't see it. Mentally Yours and Thorazine Shuffle, totally go together, but putting Summer Rain in between? What a sore thumb placement. I may piss off a bunch of the purists out there (and I don't care, lol), but I move Summer's Rain to another slot in the track list (as I rearrange all songs on an album anyway as per my preference - except concept albums, like Streets).
To anyone that gives a damn (lol), my GB tracklist looks like this :
- OF RAGE & WAR
- THE UNHOLY
- SHE'S IN LOVE
- THE HOUNDS
- SUMMER RAIN
- SILK & STEEL
- THIS IS WHERE YOU SHOULD BE
- TEMPTATION REVELATION
- GUTTER BALLET
- WHEN THE CROWDS ARE GONE
- MENTALLY YOURS
- THORAZINE SHUFFLE
- GATES OF HELL [Lost Demo]
- THORAZINE SHUFFLE [Lost Demo]
- LARRY ELBOWS [Lost Demo]
And if I combine the HOTMK album, it alters a bit as I intersperse the HOTMK tracks :
- PRELUDE TO MADNESS
- THE HALL OF THE MOUNTAIN KING
- THE HOUNDS
- THE LAST DAWN
- SUMMER RAIN
- SILK & STEEL
- THIS IS WHERE YOU SHOULD BE
- TEMPTATION REVELATION
- GUTTER BALLET
- WHEN THE CROWDS ARE GONE

- STRANGER IN THE DARK
- GATES OF HELL [Lost Demo]
- THORAZINE SHUFFLE [Lost Demo]
- LARRY ELBOWS [Lost Demo]
My favorite band of all time. I'm now a subscriber. The most under rated band of all time.
I used to know this band. Lived two miles from them. Great guys. Fellow Florida boys. 🤘
R.I.P Chris Oliva. Such an overlooked maestro of the guitar.
This is such a stunning vocal performance with so many subtle nuances. The balance of melody with power and grit in Jon Oliva's delivery. Epic.
Back in 91 or 92 my older brother got Gutter Ballet cause it was recommended by Columbia House (some of you may not know what that is). He loved it and started buying Savatage albums and getting other family members to listen to them. I wasn’t allowed to even listen to rock music of any kind growing up, so this was quite a treat. 1998 they were my first concert during the Wake of Magellan tour and it was unreal. They not only are my favorite band but got me into rock/metal and so many sub genres.
So glad you guys our digging Savatage!!
great pick! One of our favorite guitarist Criss(RIP)
Gone way too soon due to a drunk driver. :-(
yeah way TOO sad I remember hearing that when it first happened I was SO pissed. Poor Criss never got any reignition for his playing. Never made single guitar magazine cover.
This solo has a connection to the universe like no other. Out of every solo Criss Oliva recorded, THIS one will connect you to a higher power and show you visions like no other. Criss Oliva truly had a gift like no other man since Mozart. Brilliant would be such an understatement. Bravo 👏 R.I.P. CRISS OLIVA. THANK YOU FOR TAPPING INTO THE UNKNOWN.
I feel blessed to grow up in Tampa the music scene was and still is phenomenal...the Mecca of Metal!
R.I.P Criss Oliva ... miss you my friend!
Great reaction. RIP Criss...
The beauty of this channel is discovering a new band because you showed me why I should like it. I don't find that with others. Thanks for showing Savatage to me guys!
Criss was the most underrated metal guitarist ever.
I'm 48 also but I heard it 30 yrs ago had it on a mixed cassette along with another great song Hideaway by Leatherwolf
Savatage has a 45min concept-album "Streets", which has at least this quality of music. It will blow you away ;)
it is almost 70 mins ;)
Streets is my personal favorite Savatage album. It's soooo good!
@@Metallian81 also my favorite savatage album. I think that would make an amazing play.
When The Crowds Are Gone next one from Savatage.
Love this tune. Jon's vocals are perfect and Criss' tone, so unique.
I'm pretty sure my guitar Teacher Al Pitrelli in NYC was in that band Before Transiberian Orchestra..
Thankful to hear you reacting to more Savatage. The more you explore them , the more you will appreciate them. If you have not researched the band I would suggest doing so. So much to their history that you could both relate to and appreciate in addition to some powerful lyrics and amazing music...

Nice reference to 'Alice's restaurant ' btw.
And as you may or may not know, savatage is basically the heart of the trans Siberian orchestra...be amazed.
Trans Suberian Orchestra is a "spin off" of Savatage.
Savatage- "Strange wings"
Savatage- "when the crowds are gone"
Uhh take me back in time. A wonderful song and a wonderful reaction too. ^^
I know Savatage ^^
I'm so happy to see people who really love music discovering this amazing band. Your reaction is so pure, so complete, sincere...
You're a living mirror of what I feel when I listen to Savatage.
Thank you for that !

#Savatage #MadnessReigns
One of the best bands Ive ever heard. IMO more diverse and fun than Iron Maiden/Judas Priest etc
Kel-N-Rich. Love you guys. Thanks for the great reactions and such great song choices. God Bless- Nate
I'm almost 57 years old (Nov 23) and I still find awesome music almost daily. Savatage is a great band! Yall keep at it!
Finally Savatage....great stuff so underrated and a band you can't just listen to once ,so many layers to them...keep it up loving the reaction...METAL IN THE BLOOD!
Just discovered you guys a couple of weeks ago, and I absolutely dig the vibe! Y’all seem to be the perfect couple. That being said, Savatage is my fav of all time. So thank you, and keep up the great work! Cheers from KY!
No need to unsubscribe, simply adjust the settings for notifications to occasional or never. But why would you wanna do that when every notification from this channel yields awesome music👍🏼
One of my favorites bands great choice
If you just want to feel something heart-wrenchingly beautiful, and emotionally expressive, listen to "Summer's Rain" by Savatage.
🔥
When the crowds are gone is my fav . Love that they carried Christmas Eve over to TSO
Savatage were awesome. Really melodic and at times crushing metal. Love there prog and for sure queen influences.
Woo my Aunt is over from Vancouver! She emigrated to Canada back in the early 70's. She is Welsh originally. I have visited Canada and it's the ONLY other place that feels like Wales. Ok, maybe Seattle on the US side. Love both. Stay strong, stay together, and stay in the light. X
Yesss!!!
Next Savatage - ghost in the ruins.
You will love it!
Greetings from germany.
I'm from Texas! Bring more heat! You guys are freaking awesome!
#Savatage When the Crowds are Gone
Great song.Love Hall Of The Mountain King as well.
Love this album, When the Crowds are Gone, is also a great track!
Insta-Like!!! Savatage is my favourite band ever!!! Underrated indeed! Great reaction, love you both!!! Greetings from Italy!!!
I remember when that song came out. I've always loved savage
#Savatage Handful of Rain Longview WA
One of the most awesome songs ever. One of those songs you need to read the words and TRY to find what the song means TO YOU.
Brilliantly Executed
You absolutely needed the official music video!!
YEEEEEEEESS!!! Bought this tape when this was the only Savatage song I'd ever heard.
In the 80s after hearing tunes like this, if there wasn't a wailing guitar solo, I wasn't interested.
So lovin this channel! Keep up the great work you two. Oh yeah please do Savatage - Of Rage And War . :)
Hey guys
Thanks for this amazing reaction
Thought I could hook you up with some golden Savatage tracks:
Believe
When the crowds are gone
The unholy
Ghost in the ruins
The storm
Wow i love this guys. So happy to see someone doing Sava-reactions.Sorry to load you up with another Savatage song...but even if you don't do a reaction listen to the song Tonight he Grins again. This has been my favorite band since 1989. Everything thing they do is amazing. They are now called Trans Siberian Orchestra.....sadly. I want my Savatage back.
Savatage was awesome. Im new to your channel (I can watch the Silent Lucidity video over and over again) so if you havent done "When The Crowds Are Gone " by Savatage, please do it. Probably one of their best songs.
There music is so damn uplifting and spiritual at times even though it's not religious....if that makes sense.
chris mahon hell yeah bro, agree
I´ve been at a Savatage Concert in 1998, a Rock festival, they closed their performance playing Gutter Ballet...totally awesome, Jon Oliva is amazing. There´s a video from this day here around youtube Savatage Monsters of Rock 1998 Brazil
This song is more than incredible! It is gift of the gods!! ❤🤘
I saw them in Wacken 2016 and at that point I had only heard the Hall of the mountain king and Dead winter dead albums and they opened with this.
Fell in love immediately and always get shills when I hear that opening.
Always enjoy your videos, had no clue you guys were Canadian...you should try some Triumph...I recommend The City(all 3 suites)...and since you are on a Florida binge try Crimson Glory's Painted Skys, or Midnight and Jon Olivas duet doing the same...2 metal legends from your neck of the woods.
Fight The Good Fight too!
How about Saigon Kick. Peppermint Tribe.
Great SONG off this great album . Good ass guitar work too
Criss oliva fuckin guitar God
🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘
SAVATAGE 4. LIFE.
Oh and I've Had The Absolute Pleasure Of Seeing The OG Savatage Perform Live going all the way back to 87?! Also as well, I've seen and talked and hung out w/ Jon Oliva at Progpower USA here in Atlanta, Ga!! Not only phenomenally criminally underated musician, he's a super cool and super nice and very funny dude to hang out with too!! I also got to see Jon Perform That Night with His Solo Band, (Pain) as well!!
I was 13 when I bought the album. Still listen to after 30 years so often. It is flawless. Wish more people would listen to Savatage.
Glad you liked this.. this is an album I completely wore out when it came out. You should look into White Lion as well. so many great tracks.. Radar love, Little fighter, When the children cry, Love don't come easy, Cry for freedom .....
Vito Brata Was Phenomenal!!!
My favorite band of all time..
I've been looking forward to this one and hoping you guys were going to love it as much as I always have. Gutter Ballet was my first introduction to Savatage and it's always held a special place in my heart. Thank you both for keeping up all these great reactions! Now a couple of other suggestions for you: #Metallica - Of Wolf and Man; #Wolfmother - Joker and the Thief
Now that you've got the Savatage bug, check out either Of Rage and War from the Gutter Ballet album, or my preference POWER OF THE NIGHT!! You'll totally dig it, daddy-o.
#Savatage - Power of the Night
So I’m 50. Only 2 years older than Rich. Don’t know about Kell. But can I say. I think you guys adorable. Hahaha
Saw them open up for Frehelys comet back in 86-87? A small venue on Long Island. Maybe 300 people. They were incredible. Next thing you know, they’re opening for megadeth and Dio and I saw them at the coliseum on New Year’s Eve 87 into 88. So under appreciated
Streets was my gateway drug to savatage. Love them all.
I"m half prosciutto. :P
I'm so glad you guys got to this song. I love bands that use words so uniquely and such imagery in their songs. I listed three songs already that tie in, don't want to bug by listing again. I think you'd like them. If you do it, you should listen to them all in one sitting so you can see how they tied them together.
#Savatage PowerOfTheNight USA
Chris really was a guitarist ahead of his time. He was so above his contemporaries!
"Living On the Edge of Time" from their Avatar days is #EPIC! Awesome shredding from Criss.
Their "Believe" was one of the best Metal things I ever duiscovered in my (relatively) old age. Try it, you'll like it.
Songs like this are why I love metal.
Savatage had a three-album run (Hall of the Mountain King, Gutter Ballet, Streets: A Rock Opera) where they were simply magnificent. This is so good. Now for an ask:
#YngwieMalmsteen - Icarus' Dream Suite: Op. 4 - ruclips.net/video/T1Va1F1dQWo/видео.html
One of my five top metal bands ever (and you mentioned "Elected" by Alice Cooper)
this is a metal classic that stands the test of decades
Also, from the same Gutter Ballet album, #Savatage Hounds and #Savatage The Unholy
#Edguy the piper never dies. Please! Love your channel. Grettings from Chile.
Savatage and crimson glory are two one of a kind bands that i have ever came across to discover in my 20 years of metal music
Members of this band went on to form Trans-Siberian Orchestra. There is a version of Christmas Eve Sarajevo on one of their albums.
Criss oliva the guitar god!!! RIP
It is criminal how undervalued Savatage is. Between them, and Dream Theater, that is what kept metal alive for me in the late 90's.
Okay Y'all, and Thank You So Very Much for Doing Savatage too as well!! I have been A Huge Big-Time Old Skool Die-Hard Savatage Fan, (going all the way back to 84-85 when I first heard (The Dungeons Are Calling) EP, and later, just very shortly after that bought Savatage's Major Label Atlantic Debut (The Amazing Beyond Epic- (Power Of The Night)!! So, I must recommend Power Of The Night as well, as well as Also A Savatage Magnum Opus (The Hall Of The Mountain King) as well!! Just trust True SavaFans Your Journey Has Just Begun!! You're Both In One Helluva Enjoyable Ride!!
savatage when the crowds are gone react please !
Savatage - Hounds (Live)
Savatage - He Carves His Stone
Savatage - St Patrick's
Finally getting to it it was so long ago I was jamming to that I am well damn like 20 yrs ago or more
Masterpiece 😍🤘😍🤘😍🤘
were it not for Savatage and their producer, Paul O'Neill,here would be no TSO
I've been waiting for someone to finally do Gutter Ballet! "When The Crowds Are Gone" should definitely be your next Savatage tune! As others have mentioned - Trans Siberian Orchestra sort of arose from the ashes of Savatage - many musical similarities between the two bands, though TSO is more of a theatrical production. There is SO MUCH for you to discover - and I'd like to get you on board with some King's X or Galactic Cowboys - try "In The New Age" by King's X, or "I'm Not Amused" by Galactic Cowboys. Long time lurker - you earned a sub with this Savatage reax!
The Unholy from this album is brilliant too
P. S. ELECTED?
10:45 Rich wants more. Here's your next one; #Savatage - When the crowds are gone
'Bout time...haha. Now I got one for you that you can listen to in private or experience in a video but, after watching you two all this time and the special love you have for each other, I'd like to dedicate to you: #Firehouse When I Look Into Your Eyes
AND, when Savatage did "Believe" on Streets, they reprised the bridge from "When the Crowds Are Gone" from Gutter Ballet! For even more excellence, check out Edge of Thorns, particularly "All That I Bleed", "Follow Me", and "Conversation Piece".
Do Savatage-The Unholy..... just do it darn it!! You'll love it.
Tks for this video
maybe you guys can do live streaming/ i still enjoy your videos/ great job guys
