I read that Paul O'Neill is trying to create a new art form he was calling, -Rock Theater-. I was not sure what it meant, but after experiencing the BLN in Cleveland, he can remove the word trying. What I witnessed was beyond anything I could imagine. In future interviews Paul should remove the word trying from everything, because as usual he and TSO have succeed beyond my expectations.

Definitely one of my fav BLN songs!!

@AnyPort1990 If he was a vampire, very few sane people would go to concerts he appeared in.

[AnyPort1990]

Anyone who thinks Paul or Jon are anything but musicly driven knows neither the individuals, the bands, or the music. Paul's lyrics, stories and composing with Jon's composing, vocals, musicianship has given the the world some of the greatest songs in the last 25 years. By the way Rob Evans kick ass. I hope he gets bitten by a vampire some day so he never dies. The world needs that voice.

Guys please stop arguing, Chris never said he DOES want to bring savatage back he said he'd like to do more work with it. Savatage went dormant for a while that's why he's doing his solo work, so if Paul hadn't come into the picture we never wouldve heard Cafferys solo work so stop COMPLAINING about the long gone past and just LISTEN to TSO and savatages music, dont need to argue that it's Pauls fault, their working/hoping on trying to put off TSO for a while to work with Sava.

After seeing this show in San Antonio, I CANNOT WAIT for "Gutter Ballet," which will be the official debut of the newest art form: ROCK THEATRE!

Even though I consider this the original debut, and I don't think I am alone...

@MaidenUSA1978 TSO isn't Savatage, dude. Get over it. TSO is Paul's band. Savatage is John's (and the late Criss's) band. And who cares if TSO is "offensive" or not? It's the music that matters, and they are both very good and different bands. Also, the nods and complete covers of Savatage songs are more like homages to a great band than a "re-branding". Sure, I'd love if Savatage would get off their hiatus... but until then just be glad that the band members are still active in the music scene.

Omfg!! MusiclsGirl.. do some frickin research before posting mindless shit... Sabotage what the freaking hell? And fyi SAVATAGE predates Paul O'Neill quite a few years! Contrarily to MaidenUSA1978 however I do not think that SAVATAGE suffered that much from Paul O'Neill... I like the style of the last albums and songs. If some1 wants to listen to Savatage the JO-style has to listen to Jon Oliva's Pain which is a great band. And yes it's no secret that TSO is JO's cashcow. I still like it.

@DJPaige3 I never got to see them live but will still be their fan for eternity :)

[DJPaige3]

I LOVE TSO!!!! OMG! I JUST SAW THEM FOR THE SECOND TIME IN MY LIFE AND ITS WAS AWESOME!!!!! i am now a fan FOREVER!!!! TSO YOU ROCK!!!

[MaidenUSA1978]

@MusicIsGirl First of all the band is called SAVATAGE, a combination of the word Savage and the band's original name Avatar. A band that was started years before Paul O'Neill came into the picture. Formed by Criss and Jon Oliva. They realease 4 albums before he was even their producer. Jon and Paul want to do TSO because it's a cash cow. Jon himself has said he was disappointed that it was a Savatage song that made TSO popular. And Caffery has said he does want to bring back Savatage.

@MaidenUSA1978 Paul O'Neill didn't ruin anything. Paul O'Neill made Sabotaged! He wrote every song and it is because of Paul O'Neill Sabotage became great! And I would like to see you try to produce some of this work it would take you years most likely. Sabotage wants to be with TSO, and the sabotage songs are tso because if you went up and asked Jon Oliva he would say so himself! TSO and Sabotage have touched the hearts of millions!!! Clearly you don't understand even what your talking about...
