Savatage - This is where you should be

[Freedomquest08]

Another kick ass song from another kick ass band that never made it onto a commercially released album :(

Thanks for posting it- at least I got to hear it and now I know yet another 'Tage track I still don't have.

[mrtomlovin]

What a song... and to think that it was judged not worthy to be in the album, from the band itself (comes out of a best-of, in fact). A b-side, in short.

This probably can give a real clue of what was the level of the albums from this band.

[CYCLOPSONE]

Just listened to this again today. It is so beautiful.

God I miss Criss!

[PantallicaWRXT]

Why doesn't this have more views!!?!?! this is awesome!

[CYCLOPSONE]

@PantallicaWRXT Because people have no idea what awesome music is anymore.

[PantallicaWRXT]

@CYCLOPSONE very true, this kind of music needs to rule supreme

[ckokpenno]

I love the guitar solo in 3:03

[motleycrue24]

people never thought this album was great but i like it they got the mix of zakk on vocals n oliva awesome stuff i think "anymore" is the best track on this album

[Savatage]

Thanks for posting this, man. Savatage is my favourite band and I have only been able to find lower-quality versions of this song.

[WildSSSnake]

Good song... I didn't know this band, though. Oh, sorry, you don't know me by that name. Here's my little clue: When could I visit you again in RDE?

[bjrcomputacion]

[yhwh666]

[deathbladez13]

i hav ethe full wake of magelan CD all in HQ on my channle

[savalegions]

never heard this song before--this song isn.t on my magellan cd, was it re released?

[markreynaers887]

@savalegions

I believe it's on their "from the gutter to the stage" best of album, the second cd.

[ACjunkyard]

Mountain King era, eh? I was kind of hoping it was pre- Paul O'Neil so that Jon Oliva could get more lyrical credit...because this sounds like "in The Dream' in a small way, which was long before Savatage was O'Neil-ized. Don't get me wrong, I like ALL savatage, just tired of Paul getting so much credit, go sing frosty the snowman, Paul.

[bjrcomputacion]

I agree about Paul getting so much credit... but I really don't know for sure when was this song composed and who must be credited for the lyrics... I'd kill to ask Jon himself :P

(sorry my english!!)

[bjrcomputacion]

btw, the solo is definitely Criss' signature

[deeperwaterz]

Jon spends everyday of the week 7 days about 12 to 15 hrs a day writing/recording since Paul moved to FL they spend more time writing together and are such good friends there is no compitition between them, A similar relationship to that of Meatloaf and Jim Steinman who Jon has worked with in the past on TSO stuff.

[MusicIsGirl]

@bjrcomputacion Paul writes all the lyrics, Jon helps with music. Jon wrote it himself on a tso forum, and it was confirmed him.

[Riprandycriss94]

was this a song from the Criss Olivia days that just got released later, because that solo sounds like a Criss solo.

[bjrcomputacion]

yes... it was recorded during The Hall Of The Mountain King. Criss recorded the solo.

[eco7savatage]

@bjrcomputacion savatage wrote this song and also stranger in the dark (they have a lot of similarities) the time before oneil,.... of course it is a criss solo u cant be fooled with criss ..i would recognize it anytime.. anyway the song didnt make it to LP and that shows how great sava was.... check also before i hang... kick ass song and solo

[deeperwaterz]

A lot of old stuff that was recorded but not released is still being used today Jon has a ton of old stuff and it`nice to see him using it not mention Jon understands Criss`s style, Not mention Jon can play just about any instruments and has before.

[chmybrain]

When Was Al Pitrelli in Savatage ???

[Airforce12]

for the "dead winter dead" and the "wake of magelan"- LP and think for the first recordings of "poets and mad men" (1995 -2001 ???)

I read that sometimes, when they re playing in his town he still came up on stage to play : )

[chmybrain]

Ok , Thnx .

[ZePortouga]

in a whole bunch of albums like wake of magellan, dead winter dead... just look it up

[SavaFun]

1996 Dead Winter Dead and 1998 Wake of Magellan

[Gibcarver]

when was this recorded? what album was it on? the background is wake of magelen but i KNOW it wasn't on my copy...

[bjrcomputacion]

(sorry my english! i'll try to explain)

acording to SavaFun, it was recorded during the Hall of the Mountain King, I think certain versions of the wake of magellan included it as a bonus track, I got it from the bootleg compilation called "unplugged", and I guess some others also include it.

I made the "video" with the magellan background because the song is supposed to be in that album as bonus track; officialy, it was never released before.

[AL2000FLroxx]

r.i.p. chris olivia i saw ya 1985 and more, see ya upstairs,al

[howdyfeller]

@AL2000FLroxx right with you brother. Saw then twice in 1987 in detroit. Blew my socks off. Criss is a legend and hero of mankind in my eyes.

[ThatOtherPerson]

Nice. I like it, but I don't feel it's one of their best.

[b4ihang]

This is sort of a 'love song' which is unusual for Savatage, but I think this is an extremely worthy song, because there is no other love song like it. It's not just forceful, but also--contrary to the stereotypical sappy fashion of most love songs--it is the angriest sounding one I've ever heard! In fact, I know of no other with this atmosphere, and any girl would be deaf if Jon sang this directly in her ear. Consequently, I think that means this song is exactly the best in its own right.

[pyrimaxos]

bestestest song ever (L)

[SavaFun]

This song was recorded during the Hall of the Mountain King..........

[SavaFun]

amazing..........i love this song....

[ckokpenno]

Di que si tio. Peazo canción.
