this music is awsome

[81giorikas]

It is a TSO song as much as a savatage song and neither really. It is a plain christmas song, rock played. Savatage were a bit more metall-ish so it is better suited to be a TSO song in the end as it is more or less, rock style...

[ThePoetnMadman]

@81giorikas you're high!!! this is Savatage 110%... O'Neill did what he had to as far as forming TSO. but this song was written for and performed exceptionally for the DEAD Winter DEAD album. also, I bet Jon can't even remember the last time he performed on stage w/TSO. he is too busy doing his thing. it was intended to be Fucking Metal from the get go. TSO is a by product of Savatage and don't be fooled any longer. TSO feeds alot of people 4 two months outa the year. Savatage Rages Year round

[xSlappykinkaidx]

@81giorikas Yes and no, the song was a part of a conceptual storyline that Dead Winter Dead focused on. In the storyline this song, as well as Motzart and madness are played by a cellist in the town square of Sarajevo as it was getting bombarded with mortar rounds by Croatian Serbs. It is during this song that the cellist is actually killed by a mortar. What made this song moving to many was not the Christmas theme, but the story that it was part of, and of the grim nature of human brutality

ВЕЛИКОЛЕПНО И ВЕЛИЧЕСТВЕНО

[jcarlotta]

So glad to see someone paying tirbute to the heart of TSO

[KhylerNevra]

@jcarlotta Youre aware Savatage did this first and that Savatage virtually is TSO, right? Or am I taking your comment out of some context Im not fully unerstanding?

[DreamersImperial]

@KhylerNevra I believe by "heart of TSO" he is, in fact, referring to the Savatage members that went on to form the band.

[KhylerNevra]

@DreamersImperial That is a possibility. But its weird to say it as though the TSO came first... thats what caught me off guard.

[ezdog0072]

@KhylerNevra It is members of Savatage that is in the TSO. Paul O'Neill, Jon Oliva and Al Pitrelli. I hope this helps those of you who wanted to know this. :)

[gustman17]

And most people who have heard this song don't know about the great band that is (or was, since they've been inactive for a few years) Savatage.

Fuck them.

Anyway, thank you for uploading this song and for actually giving a fuck on the video description.

Long live Savatage, Jon Oliva, Circle II Circle and the other Savatage offshoots that I haven't heard yet.
