Just catching up with the progress so far has made me revisit Savatage. Great band.
Gutter Ballet was my introduction to them and I loved it. Streets was just awesome. Such a great production. Crisss's guitar never sounded better.
I did struggle a bit with jons vocals but came to accept them.
For me the big difference between the success of tso over Savatage was simply the Christmas element. I'm sure Beethoven s last night didn't sell anywhere near the numbers the Christmas albums did.
