[bobbyeph]

[Startruth144]

God bless us everyone, til next year! And all Hail METAL!

[TheClassicalflute]

This seems a little too rough around the edges for my personal taste, and seeing the silouette of a lady's legs just takes away from the beauty of what this song originally was meant to portray.....

[ILoveScratchBattles]

DO NOT EAT FOODLION BRAND'S SALT AND VINEGAR CHIPS!!! THEY HAVE 5x THE VINEGAR!!!

[ILoveScratchBattles]

[Cthulhoop]

Lazy performance

[MrKkccaajj]

is that the drummer or a shadow of him?

[2boyah]

i went to see them in the spring tour at the Wang theater in Boston. i even got to meet the band. They were a great bunch of people. I got my Back Stage passes signed by the band. it was great!!!!!

[timd35b]

@BENDERclan1

It's not what you play, it's how you play it. I have been picking 30 some years, and music is not notes and times but heart. And my bet is you will never have that.

[nenatul]

must watch

[vaneeghen73]

too cool  i would love to pop the question to my lady love to that song !!!!. bad ass love it

[prsguy14]

I saw them in Sacramento. It was AWESOME!!! i got to meet the whole band backstage and got invited to see the second show! not trying to brag just saying it was a lot of fun lol

[br1373]

I still like the original cd solo much better

[witchninni]

Wish these guys would come to Canada soon.... must see live...

[MrNerd314159]

There are 15 more people I now hate

[MrNerd314159]

I want to play like him someday, mabey even better

[TiLuoNe]

like Yngwie mlmstein style but what's that?? canon rock have a song??

[RedsoxandCeltics]

Nice guitar solo.

[halo1179]

its a hard song to play

[BENDERclan1]

@halo1179 no its not :D

[MrNerd314159]

@BENDERclan1 I'm still figuring out the main riff, but the rhythm chords are easy, although I have no hope for the solo for years

[BENDERclan1]

@MrNerd314159 the solo is standard taping, ending with a standard arpegios sweep, i have been playing for 20 months now and i know it perfectly, its not that hard so dont bum your self out (((: good luck playing

[MrNerd314159]

@BENDERclan1 I can't even do standart tapping, but then, I've only been playing for 3 months. But I also got the main riff right last night

[BENDERclan1]

@MrNerd314159 gratz dude :D keep playing, in couple of moths that main riff sound amazingly nad the rest will sound even better (:

[MrNerd314159]

@BENDERclan1 I just looked up how to tap and I got about 3/4 of the solo memorized; in less than 2 hours

[knoxmonk]

unbelievably badass

[7117awsomeness]

How the Hell did you 'martial arts' assholes get started watching a Christmas video?!

[oklakid12]

you guys are fucking pathetic, listen duk w/ no backbone, its christmas, give it up !!!!!!!!!!!

[thegr0ove]

jajajajajajajaja what the fuck with all this?!?!?1 LOL, cool song ;)

[JOEponzi]

omg her voice is AMAZING, and She and her backup are gorgeous :D

[lesliepowers37]

just saw this group thursday night in new orleans and i think they were great. the lights the music their voices and performance were amazing. will definately see them again.

[WillBackbone]

Never was Rock Stars, you know why they use all the lights and smoke right ? it's because they SUCK. These are has-been or more really Never Was talent. They couldn't make it in a real rock band so they use this gimmick and it doesn't work . You won't go see them more than once as they are TERRIBLE.

[dukkoff]

@WillBackbone You are a fucking moron...this group is unreal,hence the million plus albums they sell every year...get your facts right before you sound even more then the fool you are.

[WillBackbone]

Ah did I hurt your "wittle" feelings chump ? I do have my facts correct you simpleton. If they were that good they wouldn't need all those gimmicks would they ? I can assure you that you wouldn't call me anything but "SIR" standing in front of me. Now if you think different I'll call that bluff.

[dukkoff]

If anything, it would be "SIR ASS FACE" standing in front of you, who in the hell do you think you are. Besides its called entertainment thats what the gimmicks are called or should I say "showmanship"...thanks for playing, next round please.

[WillBackbone]

@dukkoff well come to my gym/dojo and say it then coward, your bluff has been called chump. Showmanship lol what a douche bag

[dukkoff]

OOOHHH dojo, wow are you a big karate fag...Daniel-son... your pretty tough talking on the internet, (douche bag) But like you said you little 15 year old cum guzzler you wouldn't say that in front of me..so go back and suck on your mommies ugly titties and grow up and when you get to the big boys world look me up...I'll fucking knock your god damn teeth down your throat...I'm a black belt in Jap. style so suck my ass if you want to spar fuck head.

[drummerboy609]

wait didnt you just call him a karate fag? then turn around and say your a black belt? im not getting in the middle of this but dud you should really proof read before you push post...

[dukkoff]

Hey stupid ass, did you use proof read as well, you take a minute and reflect on what an ass you made of yourself...dude spelled with an e at the end not dud...seriously, so that means don't get in the middle. Have a Merry Christmas.

[Startruth144]

As a DIE HARD Headbanger from the 80's I can tell you that you are very wrong, my friend! My friends and I who have played in many death metal bands, power metal, and even black metal respect TSO as musicians ALOT! We grew up on Savatage and shit from then and they were and always will be GREAT musicians as well as Rock Stars!! Merii Kurisumasu

[WillBackbone]

Well you are not very smart are you ? Chris Caffery is plain awful & Jeff Plate is a weak drummer.Now what about Jeff Scott Soto he screeches.Remember when he tried his stint with Journey & they couldn't sell out a 3000 seat venue? The show reminds me of a bunch of Vegas type lounge singers with a laser show. There is not one "superstar" in either cast. Anna Phoebe is a total slut and homewrecker after sleeping with a married (28 yrs) man (Gavin Esler) and causing his divorce, She's a slut .

[WillBackbone]

I got a great life and it's the Holidays not everyone celebrates Xmas like some people do. Some people when you say Happy Holidays think they have the right to correct you and say "NO it's Xmas" I told a person the other day to stop being so narrow minded about what they perceived what the holiday has to be. This is an open forum and IMO it's open for discussion if you don't like the discussion they excuse yourself from it and mind you own fucking business bitch.

[countrySTAR06]

i just think TSO is the coolest concept ever. their CDs are amazing, i cant even imagine what it would be like to be in the building with them!! even the way the performers dance and stuff is just so cool!

[hellraise22]

seeing these people tomorrow here in St. Louis

[ZK2006]

ME TOO.. Can't freakin wait.. got 9 of my friends coming.. every year our group gets bigger!!!!!!!

[SeekandDewhiplash]

@hellraise22 I saw them in STL., rocked.

[BRUTUSbyFORCE]

@SeekandDewhiplash I went to final show of their 1st ever spring tour May 2nd 2010 in Dallas. They performed Beethoven's Last Night in its entirety and played 5 songs off of Night Castle. They had 12 man camera crew filming it and said it would be made into a DVD, something TSO fans have been asking them to do for years. The spring tour was played in smaller venues so not as much pyro and lights as winter tour but stilll should make great DVD. Singers and musicians were great as always.

[SeekandDewhiplash]

@BRUTUSbyFORCE But they did have pyro on this tour.

[BRUTUSbyFORCE]

@BRUTUSbyFORCE They did have pyro at some venues on spring tour but not everywhere because of varying fire codes. The place they played in Dallas area only seats about 5 or 6000 I think. This was the 1st place that I had seen their winter tour at in 2003 and this show was similar in amount of pyro to that show. But now their winter tour plays in the 20,000 seat AA Center in Dallas and that show and pyro blows it away.

[kccheerleada]

playing tonight in LUBBOCK, WE GOT TICKETS, DO YOU?

[rklsk1962]

St. Louis is on the western tour

[Riprandycriss94]

is it still Alex and Chris on the east line up, and which band is playing in St. louis on dec. 12, cuz its kind of the borderline of east and west.

[cali420king]

I know Alex is still on the east coast tour. dont know about chris.

[Harrison4123]

Chris and Alex are both on the east line up this year. I went to see them a couple days ago in Raleigh.

[ec688]

yes they are on east coast band

[troy81371]

Is jennifer cella in the 2009 east coast shows??? anyone know i lov her!!!!!!

[LighteningMetal]

Yes, Jennifer is on the East coast tour normally but she didn't tour last year (2008) and I can't seem to find out if she is touring this year or not?

[CharlieBladeRemus]

I dunno...I know she is featured on their latest album "Night Castle" though...

[ec688]

no she didn't join east coast tour this year either :(. it made me sad v.v

[Gotmilk0112]

I just saw them live this past Wednesday. 2nd time seeing, it was definitely better than the first!!

[carsonlespaul]

Alex Skolnick and Chris Caffery are the east coast guitarists, who is Al Pitrelli's partner on the west coast?

[PhantomScorpio77]

Angus Clark

[smithpwn]

if you think this cannon rock is fantastic? check out jerryc's. he is the original composer of cannon rock. check it out. it will litterly blow your mind

[772pilot]

ugh, two entirely different things...

[dottiesfriend1]

amazing what people can do with instruments

[jbeckforever]

Those first few notes on that solo just completely blow my mind.

[schmdchrs]

That's because Skolnick is a god among men.

[flyeroftheyear4444]

3:32, just beautiful

[222131313222]

what kind of guitar and amp does the lead guitarist have? does he use any pedals?

[planetxodus]

he uses a les paul standard, thats all I kno

[222131313222]

tyvm

[ReaperOfMen]

He uses a Les Paul Standard. I always thought he used an ESP Eclipse Standard, but I guess not.

[TSOfreak]

@ReaperOfMen true skolnick uses LPS but he now has a heritage custom out  that he uses more often

[planetxodus]

no problem

[gLaMbErTbAbY14]

My first concert wuz this. so beautiful!

[bones1343]

[jeffreyrbrock]

[polecobre]

[bsc349]

This will be our 3rd year seeing them. If you have never seen TSO... You're missing one of the best concerts EVER!!!!!

[Diandrox]

[apregnantbaby26]

[smokingpharaoh]

No, check out MattRach's 'Canon Rock Final'

[thanostlotr]

[Orbit91]

You mean Pachelbel's Canon, you fucking moron.

[ifav69]

pachelbel didn't make a "canon rock" he made cannon in d major you fuckng moron, jerry c made the canon rock

[Orbit91]

This better not be aimed at me.

[ifav69]

what do you mean this better not be aimed at me?

[Orbit91]

Oh, haha, you called someone a fucking moron.

[ifav69]

good version though i like it

[Orbit91]

Same.

[boolie89]

My violin teacher's sister is one of the cellists!..TSO is amazing

[t80tank20]

An absolutely beautiful song, though it has a sort of sad tone to it. However, I can listen to TSO year round!

[unselfcontrol]

Beautiful in winter time, beautiful in spring time, summer of autumn... beautiful song

[flip4razor]

I can't believe I'm actually picking a favorite. This is deffinetely it. perfection, in the form of Christmas Rock.

[fotball2012]

Freakin amazing.. i saw them last december.. it would be AMAZING to jam with those guys!!

[TSOFan12]

accorded to my name, you will have figured out im a big fan by now, and this, being one of my favorites, i had to look. i saw them live, for the past 8 years. i would like to meet them...

[joshoemaha]

[MisfitSkrat]

starting at 3:15

Epic...:)

[BeckyandHaileyshow]

this is one of the most amazing songs in the world i love to play it on the piano and then they made it into a rock song which is totally awesome yay

[metllicafan98]

who plays guitar for TSO?

[NoDak75]

Alex Skolnick

[pureitalian911]

i love this song i could listen to it all year round

[bellissima7]

OM freakin G!!! I love the TSO!!! Whoever took this vid did a nice job.

[Paultheguitarist]

Jennifer Cella = angelic

[davidlee57]

This video is good, but not as good as the one the took the music off of, now why would they show a video without sound? I really enjoyed watching that video too.

[darttman07]

me too man...It was my favorite...why the fuck would they do that?

[marleen2808]

I think because of the author's rights.. Don't like it too.

[wrathchild1988]

Does TSO ever had concert out of USE

Does they ever come in europe ???

PLEEEASE ANSWER ME !!!

[yudi000000]

no .

[wrathchild1988]

OMG

:'-(((

Why?

[yudi000000]

I think they only perform on us, i dunno, they might do a tour.

[Phana24JeffG]

Wrath, TSO only tours for about two months every year in the USA. They are supposed to release a new album this year. If it is as big as The Lost Christmas Eve, hopefully, they will decide to tour full time and may go international.

[3xPizza]

i heard, that tso wants to tour in europe in summer 2010, just without the christmas songs i think. listen to the interview with J.L. Middleton

[jasoncy2k]

Wikipedia is showing Jennifer Cella as a former band member, is this confirmation that she will no longer perform for the TSO??

[t80tank20]

I went to see TSO in Cleveland last year. She was always with the eastern tour. She wasnt there last year so I believe she has left TSO :(

[Phana24JeffG]

Jennifer is in studio with TSO for the new album. She may be back for the 09/10 tour.

[jasoncy2k]

Amazing song. I can listen to this song over and over. Jennifer Cella is amazing both in her looks and her singing talent. Wish to seem them in person someday.

[MrMatto91]

Rock Band needs to come out with a

TSO track pack.

[oracle2world]

The underlying tune is in the public domain. So forget about anyone "ripping off" anyone else.

[jaide600]

dude some camera advice... DON'T ZOOM JUST LEAVE IT ALONE!!!

[xpanicxitsxrichyx]

2 Les Pauls ftw

[CharlieBladeRemus]

Wow....this is really great! TSO rocks!!!

[yngvaigilbsteen]

great players. Can't get into the project much, though...even though I love some of the musicians they hire. Got a free ticket, so I went. It makes you wonder, though if half the older people in the audience ever realize they're listening to (and paying good money for) metal guitar players. lol

[SkullStrife]

lol you re right man ^^ most of the best music players today are metal (progressive, heavy, etc)... but the media, specially in latin america promotes pop and other shit in wich the instrumental players are amateurs compared to metal ones...

[knules2]

where was this look fimiliar

[kmespiri2]

if you read it says Madison Square Garden (MSG)

[vogezen36]

Oh, come on. This ripped off tune is original composed by guitarist Jerry C who made a guitar rock version of the famous classic 'hit' Pachebel's Canon in D

and in rock guitar notes famous by the name Canon Rock.

Hit 'canon rock' in the search bar and you will be amazed.

[dragonster82]

originally composed, my ass. don't shoot your mouth off as you wish, its insulting to all of us.

[vertoule]

Two problems with that...

1) TSO Released this song in its original version in 1998, about, oh... 9 Years before Jerry C did Cannon Rock.

2) They released the rock version in 2002, which is about 5 years before Jerry C's cannon.

I'm sorry, but I'm afraid if anyone did any ripping off, it would have to be Jerry C, but he did not, as his is much different than TSO's. It has much more shred and is faster.

Your comparison is alright though, you don't have to look up things when you yap here ;)

[WhitieMcCracker]

But don't forget Johann Pachelbel composed this piece more than 300 years before all this.

[905rocks]

they can suck my ball in hell they suck

[highwaytohell13]

Yeah I bet you are so much better at shredding than Alex Skolnick, formerly of Testament. (He's one of the guitarists if you didn't know).

[yngvaigilbsteen]

Uh.....no

[kel1023]

Ok all you fellow TSO fans..I need some help with a song title. I saw them last Thursday night Dec. 18th in New Orleans and they did this incredible song in the 2nd half of the show out of the "opera" lineup. It had a ton of pyro going on during it and the full "choir" of singers. I have heard the son before and always associate it with scary movies. I was thinking it may have been in the OMEN movies but I can't find it on the soundtrack listing. Anybody got a clue?

[sebolden]

I am sure I am spelling wrong But it is called carmina burana or O' Furtuna. It is a song from the middle ages about the "Wheel of Fortune". These is a lot of youtube vids.

Best Song Ever.  I believe it is supposed to be on their up-coming album

[jgmusic526]

Jennifer Cella Didn't do the Tour this year, I missed her!! Beautiful Lady, Beautiful Voice!!

[whammybar08]

Seeing them tommoro YEAH!!!!!!!!

[DangerousK14228]

I saw them in BUFFALO yestreday! :)

[varone6t9]

i saw them yesterday in hamilton.I met chris and alex!!

[da1gamer]

Oh the singers....mmmmmmmmm

[pwhitewv1]

Awesome song!

[CrazyIpodFreak]

does anyone else think the blonde guitarist is HOT?

[sushigagai]

3:37 - Is that Alex Skolnick playing the solo?

Awesome.

[AlHouseProductions]

0:40 --> 1:05

*drools*

its like looking at a fantasy
