  • Hmm this band sounds just like Dio but the singer has more of a Robert Plant sound and everyone else is like Van Halen in a more metal form. Just how I like it

  • orra tempo bom pena q hoje só tem merda

  • is it just me, or does the singer look/sound kinda like bobcat goldthwaite?? lol

  • lol public masturbaiter trench coat winnage right there.

  • This is officially my favorite song. The first time I drove in my best friend's car we blasted the shit out of this song, I mean, after all, that's what the song is about. And if I ever decide to commit suicide, this is the song to do it to!~

  • wicked band on all frontz,great guitar and vocalz, the brotherz kick ass. criss lives in our guitarz rip

  • Thanks for sharing the kick ass video!

  • There's so many awesome metal singer's out there,but Jon olivas in the top 10 for sure!:D

  • he is doing great .just had a beer with him at Green LIZZARD , ALWAYS IN SOUTH TAMPA!!!!!

  • Another legendary 80's headbanging masterpiece. Time machine please.

  • anyone who doesnt see that this song is fuckin kickass heavy metal shit is a stupid motherfuckin pussy!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  • Jeez, Jon Oliva Got REAALLLYYY fat. He still has an Amzing voice though :D

  • @Megadeth11497 Im betting he lost alot of weight in the last 18 years.

  • one my fav guitaristz, chris oliva rip

  • I think vkgoeswild should do this song or at least a savatage song

  • @breegston

    I hear ya.... I was lucky to see them live..these old recordings were only half how they sounded live...oh I wish they could be rerecorded..!

  • they friken rocked, all you negative people do better , yeah right !!!! NOT

  • R.I.P. Criss Oliva. You are missed.....

  • OLIVA,,,BRO'S..WAS BAD ASS!!!! nobody could touch em ...they are were ...the most underrated metal band ..in history..as far as metal goes..you people who don't have a clue?? reserach the year 83 in bay area..for metal ...and there was a lot in an around..and still is!!! but these guy's ....man awesome..fucking awesome!!

  • @Gossrott "Most underrated metal band"? Sorry, not trying to be a smartass but in my opinion their are many other metal bands that deserve recognition, such as Razor or Saxon. Don't get me wrong though, I love Savatage,

    but hey sometimes not being known is better, dont get posers and assholes listening to this when they don't appreciate/respect it, or being overrated to hell like fucking metallica. Anyways, just an opinion.

  • @BlackMoonAbyss plus not having the radio overplay there songs a million times them bein less unknown kinda makes it like a great secret

  • @BlackMoonAbyss Saxon probably got more recognition. Metallica and other bands at least talk about them. Ive never heard another band mention savatage.

  • Lyrics, stupid as with all modern music but the sound, oh yeah baby....

  • trolls have no real arguments. They hop on, talk useless shit, then leave as if they actually matter. It's their lineage because they have nothing else either in net or real life. I grew up with these guys so they're in the top tier. Their older stuff is off the hook too.

  • Hall of the Mountain King is my absolute fave

  • I've always wondered why Savatage didnt get more recognition then they did.

  • 3:24 - 4:54 I almost Jizzed on my pants

  • 8 people were castrated 24 hours ago...

  • First Savatage song i ever heard made me an instant fan, that riff is yust perfect!

  • Ageless metal with killer structure! Guitarists was a phenom, sad day when he past, but some great work creating the original TSO set up. If you liked the 80's metal, this was right up there!!! \m/

  • I saw these guys live back in the 80s.....just amazing is all i can say.  I have no clue why they are not bigger than they are....

  • Masterpiece of Metal..it has all the ingredients of the ideal METAL song..kick ass vocals at high notes..f****n awesome musicians..what else do u need ??

  • how many of you know were the white strat came from(i was a friend of criss when he was 16)he won the strat from a scorpion's competition for some sort of guitar contest criss easily toted first place at 16!!!!!!your friend always criss little john love you always r.i.p. my beloved friend criss

  • If you do not like why be a child and say the stuff you do. We who do like it do not thrash the music you like so stop being an imature brat and posting behind fake names

    

  • If guitar riffs could kick doors in!

  • @WhiteThrash89 They can! You just need a HUGE amp and lots of speakers!

  • savatage...just the best

  • Great songs.... powerful Criss's solo... Amazing !!!!

  • son of a bitch thats an awsome song

  • ► ♫twenty four hours ago ♪

  • Awesome

  • Looks like Jon was channeling his inner Ozzy during this video shoot!!! This was the very first Savatage song I ever heard. I was on a compilation tape I had, when I found out my brother had the full HOTMK cd I borrowed it and never looked back, now I own every. Tage and TSO CD and the TSO DVD.

  • savatage great metal nothing more to say

  • aint nothing better than  a dose of fucking metal!

  • like what has happened with other bands in the past. savatage "was" a great band. wish they were still around!!! wtf  =*( (outside of being trans siberian orchestra)

  • this is one of my favorites off "hall of the mountain king" album,,,,good edition to my 80's playlist channel

  • How can you not like this? This was the album that really made me move from Glam metal to more thrashy and heavier stuff. Hell yeah \m/

  • Saw this exact band in a small "Pub" outside of Chicago....even stoned drunk on Vodka which Jon passed through the audience, he and they tore down the "Thirsty Whale" and left nothing but rubble. Killer vocals, hit every note in between his rants calling us all "Mother f*****s" throughout, in a very endering way of course. The band was so tight and complete with very little show and all METAL! Miss them and these power riffs they produced! Never a more under rated METAL Band!

  • THE best guitarist of all time and awzum brother singer team. god rest chris oliva, amen

  • Singer dude looks kinda mental.... Niiiiiiice.

  • DOCTOR KILLDRUMS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!­!!!!!!!

  • hard to believe this is TSO in early days

  • @naedekim99 it isn't, check the lineup for this era and compare it to TSO. 2 very different bands.

  • Comment removed

  • @Lafikhandro Well, I know for sure Paul O'neill produced this album and two members of Trans-Siberian Orchestra are in this video.

  • Man, watching all this old Savatage footage is bitter sweet! Savatage is such an underrated group of masterful musicians! I miss this band so much and long so badly for the days of old.

    Chris, may you rest in peace! You will always be one of the best guitarists that ever played! :'-(

  • one of the best singers in heavy metal awesome band R.I.P. chris

  • Chris Oliva is still the man!!

  • one of my all time favorite guitar players! but why was Chris never featured in a guitar magazine?.................sad. RIP

  • @BOBBYGITRPLYR He was once. It said that Criss was better than Eddie Van Halen around the time Streets was released. Then Eddie trashed him in an interview.

  • @scootercrunch11

    Agreed...Criss was better the Eddie at the time..Savatage just were not "pretty enough".....or as radio friendly

  • Still gives me chills. Fucking rules.

  • Whoever speaks that Savatage is lame doesnt even have ears, not to mention any argument to dispute about anythig related to music. Exellent Vocals,raspy and high, inteligent vocal melodies, Great guitars awesome soloes and riffs and complete musical talent.

  • The ride out on this song is epic!

    Criss Oliva was awesome!

  • I wish I was at this rock show!

  • savatage killed bieber without knowing it!!!!!!

  • So epic !! If you hate Savatage you don´t deserve listening to music

  • Love the riff that begins at around 3:23

  • Everytime I see Criss in video's playing the guitar, it just blows my mind at how good he was, his style was so unique. It's nice to see that Savatage is at least getting some attention these days

  • I miss Chris

  • Savatage é imortal... Um dos guitars mais criativos de todos os tempos!!!

  • You know, I'm only 20yrs old so I missed the greatest bands of all time by not being an 80s child. But one thing is for sure, Ever since my parents introduced me to these guys they shot right up to my second favorite band of all time(next to zeppelin)!!! This is the first time I heard this song...I like it. My favorite will always be chance though...Theres something bout that song that gives me chills everytime I hear it.

  • @xFamGuyFanx how did you miss them there music didnt go anywhere

  • Fucking Vocal Performance!!!!

  • Besides this gem the album was jam packed with killer songs like, “Legions“, “Devastation“, “The price you pay“, & “Beyond the doors of the dark”. Watching this clip now I remember how exited I was when I first discovered the magic of Criss Oliva’s guitar playing. “Raise The Fist Of The Metal Child!”

  • Unfortunately they all suffered from the atrocious production courtesy of Stephan Galfas. I once spoke to John Oliva about the album & he told me that they never performed any of the songs live from FFTR. “Hall of the mountain King” signaled a return to form for the band. It was also the first of their albums to be produced by Paul O’Neill, a relationship that has lasted to this day.

  • I’ve been a fan of Savatage since 1983 when I bought their debut album “Sirens“ released on the Par Records imprint. This is one my favorite songs by the band & it’s a treat to finally be able to view this video in its entirety. This was a comeback album of sorts. The prior release “Fight for the rock” was a major let down to most fans. There were a couple of decent songs on there like the title track, “Red light paradise" , & "Hyde".

  • My favorite song from the album.

  • anyone who doesn't like this, is a total faggot!

  • Firstborn from Tampa,Florida did the best SAVATAGE tribute to this band.SAVATAGE is AWESOME !!!!

  • Savatage what was it? A first look into good metal sound, it's like Mozart's first enter the woods of Metal...

    And to you fuckers, Chris is absolutely brilliant and Jon's voice is disturbing the peace...

  • Local Dudes! can't wait to see The Mountain King himself on 9/17/10 @ the The Sttate!

  • best outro ever.

  • well your opinion sucks dude post it elsewhere!!

  • Why do I picture the lead singer having a subway sandwich instead of a microphone?

  • Ass kickin for its time... powerful track.

  • Great Stuff.Love It! Criss Oliva was GREAT!

  • Long live the memory of the mighty Criss Oliva and Savatage.

  • It's late at night and this tune is perfect! :) Savatage had such an unique sound, even going back to the old Avatar days. I picked up a lot of cool chops from Criss Oliva's guitar playing. He will be missed. Rest in Peace brother.

    KEEP IT METAL!

  • gun-frontman...hehe.........ha­il to savatage

  • this is the best music eva

  • F*ck yes, one of my favorite tracks from the Hall album. Used to have that and the Gutter Ballet album back in the day (the late 80's when I was like 14 or 15). Since I didn't have a CD player yet (very few teens did at the time) I bought 'em as records and then dubbed them onto cassette for my walkman which I would bring with me to class (to get taken away by some teacher during history)...f*ckin pissed me off. BTW, thanks for posting...brings back memories.

  • I think it's crazy in the real world the deeper your voice the more manly you are, but in metal it's the opposite

  • is it wrong that criss's outro guitar part gave me a boner?

  • Another metal masterpiece from the ultimate metal band ever .

  • the the jerk who left the last comment 'thunderbirdguy). This is one of the best metal bands ever

  • to thunderbirdguy - this is the best metal band ever

  • @colorblindheartful as long as you keep posting shit around, you're the lame one. if you don't like it, beat it! easy as that.

  • @colorblindheartful "gayest lamest music" is kinda trashy. if you wanted to express your opinion, a simple "don't like them, don't think they're good" would have been enough. and anyways, what's "not good" about them? tell me some of your arguments.

  • @thunderbirdguy i know whats the guys problem how isnt this good?

  • @thunderbirdguy People like that just want to piss others off. Opinions are like assholes, everybody has one, some just stink. I notice he hasn't given any arguments...imagine that!

  • @thunderbirdguy He could tell you his arguments if he had any >_> Matters of taste cannot be disputed. Doing so would be pointless =/

    P.S.: You owe me a "thank you" for bringing you here to listen to the song again after all this time :P

  • @colorblindheartful wow do you spend all your days wasting away pointing out how much you hate bands on youtube. Maybe you should start your own band and prove everyone wrong. Did you put out a gold record or something and are just bragging now?

  • @colorblindheartful If you don't like a particuler style of music, just say so. This gay lame comment shit don't cut it. Savatage rocks.

  • @colorblindheartful Says a fairy named 'colorblindheartful'

  • Comment removed

  • @colorblindheartful what can you do on a instrument ... i bet they get more than you

  • @colorblindheartful ah finally , ill tell you guys, you have been great because its the funniest thing i get a post from yall to my work email and see ya vent, ill be post haste in displaying a video that will prove my point that makeup and hairy chests dont make music, keep it coming guys.

  • @colorblindheartful its not about how they look you idiot, if you had any knowledge of music, music theory and taste you would only need your ears to understand that this music is well composed and performed

  • @colorblindheartful

    the thing is.your mother really liked it...kept her in the rythm.

  • @kooo0

    The thing is that this is the most fitting answer to that specific person...! LOL

    p.s.: Polla like sto video sou tou Nikou Ksilouri!

  • We need more bands like this now!!! I think that fuckin' grunge Shit fucked us up!!! Lets get a Worlds Tour happening with Accept & Annihilator!!!!

  • such an underrated band..

    love this song,Oliva brothers rule!

  • Virgin Steele and Savatage...

    I Got BLOODSHOT eys/Hypnotize/I feel NO Pain...Yeeaaahhhaaahhaaahhhh!

  • time to headbang now, I THINK IM GOIN INSANEEEE YEAHHH"

  • def top 5 metal albums of all time and criss is top 3 guitarist of all time. come to think of it, summer's rain solo is best solo of all time, which would make criss best of all time by my estimation. every song on this album makes me want to nod my head up and down until it fucking falls of my shoulders and rolls down the god damn street!!!

  • This album got me through my years on the service. Was in Basic Training when this album came out. Bought it with G'nR's Appetite.. 2 great albums

  • Absolutely perfect! There is not even one mediocre song in this album. Definitely Savatage's best work and among the best ever. The 80s' was the best period for Metal.

  • One of my favorites ever! I still get chills every time I hear this songs even after 20 years.

  • EXCELLENT!!! Yet another precious heavy metal video captured on good old youtube!!! I saw them with Dio and Savatage in '88. After seeing this band, I was COMPELLED to go out and get Hall Of The Mountain King!!! Why won't they release a comprehensive DVD of all their videos??? Dio, Whitesnake, and Yngwie Malmsteen also have yet to release such compilations!

  • Awesome Song,,2 Thumbs Up !!!

  • i am sure the hall of the mountain king is one of the greatest works of all times in metal history.the sound is so deep e dark . i still remember the impact on my mind at time.the group ,for me,is amazing and criss is fuckin incredible on the strings.hail,hail,AND HAIL TO SAVATAGE!!!!!!!!

  • @ASHTARLLIC I totally agrree with you,dude!!!! There are no words to discribe the Power and intensity of this album!!! We should build a church or a monument to honour this Masterpiece!!!!!

  • This is raw metal, the way its supposed to be done, not pretty boy hair metal made for MTV stuff, over produced from L.A. if you dont feel it in your gut, you just wont get it man!

  • Brings back memories of the kind of music I used to listen to while at college. RIP Criss Oliva!!

  • FUCK YEAH

  • What a band and what a guitarist!!!!!!

  • LOVE IT!!!!!!!!!!!!

  • R.I.P. Criss Oliva

  • Don't slander my Savatage music.

  • My God..this song is one of the best ever...!!!!

  • i live in tampa my whole lie i seen savatage maby 9 10 times it is sad they didnt get the respect they deserve

  • SAVATAGE 4EVER!!

    I'am still for 20 year a big fan !

  • The best part of the song is the outro... most powerful i've ever heard. i wish it was longer ...

  • I cant believe this. I have never heard of any of Savatage music before. This is my first time going through their music profile ever. Ofcourse I was too young back then. These guys are sooooo fucking AWSOME. This is what you call REAL METAL!! Great guitar riffs. That guy is such an awsome guitar player.

  • THEY are great homie too bad didnt make it famuse. some sucky ass band who made it,, i guess u have to suck to make money lol.. SAVATAGE kick ass

  • @Yenlee69

    yes they are terrific aren't they. I met Jon Olivia (singer) back in 1990 when me sister and I had a Music Mag (Metal News) in L.A (Los Angeles) He was really cool. This is the one band they if I could only listen to one band the rest of my life it would be Savatage and I am 67 years old believe it or not. I am a Metal Grandma!!!

    I saw them for the first time in 1991 for the "streets" tour. they blew me away
