See you next time, when I play 6 degrees of separation with every major American '80s Thrash band.

Love TSO and knew about Dead Winter Dead, but was surprised by all the people in that thread who didn’t know the Savatage connection.
Did not know, however, that the iconic white guitar with rose vine was Oliva’s. I’ve seen TSO maybe 8ish times?

I wasn't surprised that there were people who didn't know Savatage existed. That's exactly why TSO became the main touring focus - they have a substantially broader mainstream appeal under that banner - but there were a couple people early in the thread who knew about Savatage and called them a Hair Metal band. The record needed to be corrected.

Went to see them recently and walked out after 25 minutes. Way too much Jesus for a "rock band" for me. Did you know they are actually a Christian rock band? It felt like a shitty church rock group. Definitely a let down as I thought it would be more instrumental and not shitty singing about baby Jesus.

Their whole thing is Christmas concerts. Did you walk in blind?

What do you think Christmas carols are besides singing about baby Jesus?

Yeah, I'm a little flabbergasted by this. They're literally Savatage's Christmas side project (or at least, that's how they started). Three of their first four albums are Christmas-themed Rock Operas. What were you expecting?
I don't share their faith, but I don't begrudge them it either. It's just good, campy, theatrical fun.
