damm watching this and remenbering i was standing there as 16 year old kid. only in for Slayer , Venom, gorefest. thinking now i should got in in for Savatage. greath fucking PERFECT METAL!
@grisknack yes he's Al Pitrelli.He played with Cooper on albums "Trash" and "Hey Stoopid" and on the DVD "Trashes The World". and with Megadeth in years 2000 - 2002 and you can see him on the DVD "Rude Awakening". I knew this, because I follow him from the performance with Cooper.
who ever directed this live video for TV Broadcasting it is obvious he doesn't understand a thing about metal, you don't turn the camera from the lead guitarist when he plays a solo and focus on the drummer and you don't focus on fans while band members are giving an optimum performance moment gosh I hate these people
This song sounds a lot better live than in the studio version. Their later stuff is not so good imo compared to albums like Gutter... or the Hall Of...
Johnny Lee Middleton (Savatage, TSO East, Solo) is the bassist. The two guitarists are Chris Caffery (Savatage, Doctor Butcher, TSO East, Solo) and Al Pitrelli (Savatage, Alice Cooper, Asia, Megadeth, TSO West). Caffery toured with Savatage for Hall of the Mountain King, played guitar for Gutter Ballet, and stayed with them from Dead Winter Dead onwards.
UNBELIEVABLE! at 3:29, i'm in this video (in the left, but not enough time to recognize me) And my two Friends : RO (with the red cap) in the center, And Pat (with the pink towel around his neck)!! It was a great show (and a rainy week-end!!) LOL
I think we all miss old savatage, when Oliva brothers was filling the atmosphere with passion and real metal sound. Criss, I damned miss you so much...
i think Caffery and Pitrelli are some of the best that have ever lived, along with Skolnick (who i think is the best metal guitarist to walk to this earth) are so underrated
Just because metallica are on mtv doesnt make them a good band, they are a good band because they play good music and so do Savatage, they are one of the most underrated bands and they are EPIC!
This band should have been as big as Metallica, they were that good. No matter how many line-up changes, they still kicked ass. I wish they would do anotrher album since they are making way more money doing TSO, I doubt it willl ever happen
Amazing performance here, great album this one, criminally underrated. Hell the whole freakin band is totally underrated. The Oliva years were of course classic, but I enjoyed the Dead/Magellan works as well, very epic!
Dude, tell me about it. The original Gibson design, called the Moderne only got 500 units produced in '81, almost 25 years after it was designed. The design is strangely popular, even copies are relatively hard to come by.
great stuff. but, hey guys. Read this: --SAVATAGE is UNDERRATED-- Oh, fok.. damn it. World sucks, I'm going with mr Magellan to the end of the fucking space. \,,/ Bye. See ya.
dude this shit is was recorded 12 years ago...you wanna compare the camera quality we have now to 12 years ago???there wasn't even proper internet back then...PC wasn't even a household item...they didn't even probably know how to fuckin convert tape to video file compatible with internet sharing...how da fuck you come off comparing this to presidential debates lolz
actually if you think about it: look up a modern live performance and they are recorded off camera phones with at most 8megapixels with a vga camera recording- vga meaning basic.
anything from the early 90's was recorded onto a proper camcorder which clearly is better quality.

Yes, you didn't compared it to rap, but i think he meant that just the fact that you mentioned the word "rap" in the comments for a savatage song was insulting to him.
Personaly i prefer rap from shakira.I never liked rap but i also never blamed it.50 cent may be a little shit but underground rap is not bad.METAL RULES:P
I can't believe you guy's are comparing RAP to Savatage or Metal in general..RAP is shit!!! A bunch of crack heads and gun toting
fools singing about sex and violence with no musical talent behind them, computerized drums and rythms isn't talent' It's brain dead crap compared many rock and progressive music out there. So go search for your Shakira some where else...
I didn`t like the CIIC stuff on youtube,but I love the last savatage album Poets and Madmen (wich is seems to be some kind of tabooed) and I ´m still wondering, why al has left the band...
92% of teens have moved on to rap! if ur still one of the 8% that still listens to real music then copy and paste this comment into 1 other video box
Come one mate, you can't be serious in comparing Savatage to any kind of Rap, can you? I mean, rap can't be described as music for that matter. And if Savatage are one thing, they are musicians, they are artists. Simple as that.
Guys quit lamenting Savatage and enjoy Jon Oliva's Pain which is the closest thing to Savatage were gonna get anyway. Mentallyurs said it best "It's All About Chris Oliva, Period!!!!" Maniacal Renderings has a lot of Criss' old riffs Jon found stored away for years. Criss lives on and was so damn criminally underrated.
I wish savatage could return,,, I have a question,, Why Christmas eve 12/24 song was not famous when it was with Savatage while it was famous when it was with TSO...
That is the great mystery. I read an interview where Jon Oliva said 'all the guys know it's Savatage (refering to TSO) we just don't call it that' and 'we had the sound, but no one was buying it (when it was called Savatage) This is and example where a certain way of marketing worked, and another didn't.
Look for future TSO album's to drift away from the Christmas theme. Jon Oliva said in that interview that basically, Dead Winter Dead, Wake of Magellan were TSO albums.
He said in that interveiw that as far as he was concerned, 'Savatage died with (his) brother', that's why the albums I mentioned might as well be TSO to him.
GREAT. Dead Winter Dead is in my top 5 favorite albums ever. Al Pitrelli is awesome!. We need more Savatage videos!!!. Thanks for upload this mongolator. Que viva Savatage!!! (Savatage Rules!!!)
Most parts of the band made career with their project: Trans Sibirian Orchestra and they have a lot of performances during the years, so they have no time or energy for Savatage.
When you need to hear something new, listen to "Jon Olivas Pain"...this is more Savatage than the band itself at the moment.
The band members are having more comercial success with the Trans-Siberian Orchestra Project. At the moment they have no big plans for Savatage, but they want to relase some DVD compilation stuff and make one more anniversary tour. You can listen by now Circle II Circle band with the singer of this video, they have very savatage taste on their last album "Burden Of Truth" (2006). I Full recomend the album.
I love that!!!!!!

The band members are having more comercial success with the Trans-Siberian Orchestra Project. At the moment they have no big plans for Savatage, but they want to relase some DVD compilation stuff and make one more anniversary tour. You can listen by now Circle II Circle band with the singer of this video, they have very savatage taste on their last album "Burden Of Truth" (2006). I Full recomend the album.
