Hey all you TSO fans I just found somthing very interesting. Chris Caffery from TSO Is Also from Savatage. Christmas Eve Sarajevo was first done by Savatage in 95 on there Dead winter Dead cd. I was a big Savatage fan back in the day. If you never heard of them go to myspace type in Savatage There will be alot that will come up, check some of them out. Different ones have differnt songs. There is a couple band sites and alot of fan sites. On some you can really hear the influence to TSO. I just found this interesting thought i would share. Maybe some of you already knew this.

TSO/Savatage has always been pretty much the same thing.

TSO is just a different project with some of the same people. We did Xmas Eve and other Stories in a church I used to belong to for a few years, pretty cool. :)

Interesting, I didn't know this. I had Savatage's Sirens album on cassette tape back in the day. I should look for it on CD. It can be hard getting certain types of music out here, certainly hard to find metal that isn't mainstream.

iTunes has sirens for 9.99 and a bunch of their other albums D. Also available on Amazon on CD: Amazon listing (http://www.amazon.com/gp/offer-listing/B0000645KY/ref=pd_bbs_olp_7?ie=UTF8&s=music&qid=1204824525&sr=8-7)

One thing the net has made a little easier is finding out of the mainstream music. :cool:

I have quite a few Savatage cd's. They're awesome. :)

It's a gutter ballet..
just a menagerie

that's the extent of my Savatage knowledge. they used to play that video on Headbanger's ball bakc in the early 90's.

I wore out my 'Sirens' and 'Hall of the Mountain King' tapes years ago. Hall of the Mountain King has to be one of the best guitar riffs of all time.

Edge Of Thorns was and is still my favorite They were definitly cutting edge.

Edge of Thorns was with the original singer right? Then they got that heavset dude that has an awesome voice? I could be smoking some good stuff here too lol :)

Nope Jon Oliva stepped down in 92 due to vocal chord problems. Edge Of Thorns was released in 93 Zachary Stevens was the singer
