NOW PLAYING

[The_7th_one]

25 years ago, Manic Street Preachers headlined Glastonbury festival. Here's an (incomplete) radio broadcast of the gig:

Produced by Tony Newton…

Great band yeah. Love to see the plays from you. They did however find massive success with Trans-Siberian Orchestra which is basically all of the creative forces from Savatage under a new moniker. Sad that it also basically meant that Savatage had to be buried in the process. But check out some of he TOS albums if you haven't as a continuation from Savatage.

As you say, it was sad that Savatage had to disappear when they found success with the Trans-Siberian Orchestra, which I need to spend some time listening to.

I was lucky enough to see Savatage live once, back in 2001, supporting Judas Priest. I have fond memories of their gig.

TOS is basically the storytelling concept album aspect of Savatage turned up to 11 That's cool you've seen em' live!

Didn't you forget this EP in your run-down? I rate The Dungeons Are Calling very high in the catalog!

I did not forget it, but wanted to focus on the album releases. Thanks for mentioning it though.

Stratovarius - Dreamspace (album)

Recently one of my favorites. It's an underrated album and it's one of those albums that has a special vibe. Tolkki writes great riffs and most of his earlier (and until 2003) ideas are very good (in the previous 1992 album as well). I even like his voice. It's specific, but it's notable. Every song has strong guitar playing. Half of the album is great - the other half are interesting songs.

Such an underrated band! My favourite era is with Guy Speranza on vocals.

Saw Savatage 3x:
1: opening for Megadeth & Dio on Hall of the Mountain King tour
2: opening for Testament on Gutter Ballet tour
3: headlining on Gutter Ballet tour; met Jon & Criss; Both were cool

NP: Savatage - Legions
