Alien lands on this planet and askes me; what is Metal? I say to the alien; its 2:38 to 4:03, and he was killed in his prime by a drunk driving human piece of shit with 7 prior DWI convictions. I then say to the alien; the drunk driving scumbag survived the crash with minor injuries and then served 18 months in prison of a five year sentence. Alien cries then leaves stating that he will never return to a place like this.
I never get tired of this song!!!!! Those 4 "HUHS!!" during each verse freakin' pump me up to wanna workout and in shape like the Mountain King himself as shown here!!
@337camo Try to listening more Savatage, not only this song. The Criss brothers (the vocalist and guitarrist) are freaking genious. Try "legions", "The grace of the witch", "24 hrs ago", "Edge of thorns" etc...
In my perfect world the almighty Savatage is selling out arenas worldwide, not TSO and Criss Oliva is still alive and not dead because of some repeat offender drunk driving fucking asshole douchebag. Savatage was ahead of it's time.
I can see a kick ass band redoing this song and making a video similar to the original here - JUST to have the midget look into his treasure and find an iPod with "Savatage - Hall of The Mountain King" scrolling across the little screen of it!
First I wore out my cassette tape (kink), then the CD (scratch), now I'm waiting for my iPOD to explode from overuse. An awesome metal album. R.I.P Criss.
one of the best metal bands of all time they should have been huge!! just listen to the guitar!! god i miss this band with Criss it's never been the same still love Jon some of the best vocals i ever heard!! SAVATAGE RULES!!!
Sweet! I used to listen to this 20 years ago and all my old cassettes have long since decayed. Love this - and strange wings. 'Streets' was ok but this was substantially better. What a blast down memory lane...thank you for uploading!
man I just discovered these guys a couple weeks ago, Criss Oliva is beginning to influence me. This song just makes me wanna pick up a guitar, it's so awesome. I'm working in a band now with my buddy who actually worked as an instrument tech for Jon Oliva's Pain in '08, surrounded by great metalheads.. what more could I want? Thank you for sharing this!
@johnnypayne3 Thanks dude, i've put this because the other videos are so bad quality. You are so lucky working with this guy, the Oliva brothers were so briliant. I wish that this video could have more views for Savatage fans.
@Stridercro Not don't just worry bout the views! Be happy man!! This truly shows how few people enjoy true nice music! And we belong in these ones !! STAY HEAVY !! \m/
@(RockGTA) - ALL THE 8O'S BANDS WERE LIKE THIS....AWESOME!!!!!

What do you know, King Harkinian had a song written about him. Before he was invented. Impressive foresight, Savatage.
