@DrFlaxWebFLOO I follow this band like a religion. Have read numerous articles from the members. Especially Jon, Paul, Al, & Chris. They all say the same thing. They all work together. Jon started Savatage and Paul came on board With Hall of the Mountain King. Paul started TSO in 1993 and Jon came on board after he left Savatage. They are friends and writing partners. Paul and Jon compose most of the music together and Paul writes the lyrics. Paul refers to Jon as the greatest vocalist ever.
@MusicIsGirl Wrong. Oliva writes and re-orchestrates the melodies that make TSO what it is. And no, he is not responsible for "pretty much all of Savatage;" Jon and Criss Oliva are. When O'Neil really became active in the band, they made poor albums (Dead Winter Dead, Wake of Magellan.) which paled in comparison to the Oliva brothers' early releases.
@DrFlaxWebFLOO Are you kidding me? With out Paul O'Neill, there would be no Savatage. Paul writes ALL the lyrics for TSO and pretty much all of savatage.

Jon Oliva is responsible for TSO, really. Without his brilliant compositions, there would be no TSO.
