I knew that no good would come of that "Hall Of The Mountain King" thread.

I met Savatage's manager when I was on holiday in Mexico last year. He was a right geezer.

It was through Savatage that I learned what Thorazine was.

I remember them figuring significantly in the old a.m.a metal debates. I've never heard them myself but for some reason I seem to remember Tom Ewing saying the bass player was great or something.

Savatage were awesome. Sirens, Dungeons are Calling, Hall of the Mountain King, Gutter Ballet, even the Zak Stevens stuff, fuiud

I read the thread title as Savages and got all excited for a second that people had finally seen the light.

one year passes...

Hearing Savatage's "City Beneath the Surface" for the first time, it sounds to me like a blueprint for a good part of Megadeth's early songs with the galloping riff and sneering vocals. It's probably a case of both bands working the same side of the room more than emulation as the Savatage album is only a year or two older than Megadeth and would have been when Mustaine was already playing out etc.

I speak as one who owns Gutter Ballet on cassette.

Ok, but will anyone defend Trans-Siberian Orchestra?
