“Do you see what I see?” - sharing a piece of some songwriting again!
I put this video in my stories on Instagram and Facebook Saturday night. It was edited down to fit the allotted time. It is literally an extremely rough recording of a new idea. It’s not finished and I just sang the melodies I had in my head and some multiple vocal tracks to hear how it sounded. Then I listened back with my phone on video record and that is what you see and hear. As raw as it can get. Mistakes and all!
The song is called “Do you see what I see”.
It’s basically about lying and brainwashing. Something we have all seen in our lifetimes. We certainly seem to see a lot of it these days.
The lyrics and melodies I wrote. The music was inspired by a riff from the Doctor Butcher song “The Altar”. The riff in that song had no singing over it. It was a small bit between the verse and the pre chorus. That riff in particular I had hear Jon Oliva play on the tour bus on the Gutter Ballet Tour. I loved it so much that I inserted it into that song . It was the one piece of music that wasn’t mine in the Butcher song. I borrowed a bit of that piece to write the main riff! 😈
Here’s the scratch lyrics I wrote and used for this rough recording. I didn’t warm up to sing it. Just say in a my studio chair and scratched out the ideas to listen back to.
“Do you see what I see?”
I see facts get erased for fiction and fame
I see one plus one is now three it’s insane
I see the truth disappear be torched desperately
I see the devil’s debt yet he still rides for free
No need to debate, I’ve chosen your fate
No need to agree, it’s all about me
Do you see what I see now do ya do ya
If not then screw ya now screw ya screw ya
It’s all a game of cat and mouse easy cheesy
You may have seen what they all have seen
But do you see what I see, help me, feed me, be me

You can insert whoever you want to this entire concept. If you hear lies enough…many times they become the truth. If you say them enough…many times you believe them yourself…
FYI…no matter how many times someone would tell me 1+1=3….I would not believe them!
Have a great week!

The way I always find peace is in music. I was thinking about all of the singers I’ve worked with that have passed. It’s crazy there have actually been 11 lead vocalists I worked with who have passed away. Allan Fryar from Heaven. Henrik from Dirty Looks. My very first band called Anti had a singer named Johnny Lee who died from Cancer. You may not know I worked with Dean Fasano from the band P...

I uploaded this to Instagram and Facebook and it had 8000 views! I always forget to add things here so I’m doing it now. I posted Some people have been asking if I ever finished my song “May Day”. I put a clip on here from the first half of the song before. Well, until today I hadn’t! 🤪 So I finished the lyrics and threw down some more scratch vocals. For those who never heard my demos this is ...

All about the tone.... People always say “that’s a great tone”. The science is to have a great base, but the main sound comes from your hands! This little spur of the moment video of Monday’s noodling shows how the sound changes without changing anything but how I play it... Little sloppy here and there it isn’t anything I worked out for you to hear this was just what I played off the cuff... A...

This is full of bad assery! The extra bad assery is free! Chris never charges for the extra bad assery!
💜🤘
CHRIS IS AMONGST THE VERY BEST GUITARISTS ON EARTH!!! ALWAYS ONE OF MY FAVORITE AND THE MOST INSPIRING ARTISTS I KNOW OF!!! 🎯😎
SO GRACIOUS OF CHRIS TO OFFER SOME INSIDE SHOTS OF HIS INCREDIBLE GUITAR PROWESS! I wish all celebs would offer access to there inside realm via purchase of their media! This could solve lack of sales due to internet piracy! Offer coded buyer ONLY access to intimate content with a the artists!!! Digg?! 🎯😎
🩸🗝😎
Awesome craftsmanship I just love the drum set. That’s freaking awesome. 🐘♥️♥️♥️
Well, those type of people are probably not even a musician. You have to play around with the sound when your guitar player musician on any instrument it is the way it is. I think it sounds wonderful. Like I said maybe they need to have their brain analyzed.🧠 Sounds good to me. It is what it is, baby. Like Wilburmetalphant would say: those F..t A..s recording anything 🤣😂 Usually, those are the ones are not even a musician don’t know what they’re talking about. Let it go. 😘💪🎸🎶🏰⚔️🫶
Beautiful gold guitar like reflections of Heaven’s gate 🪽🌹🤍🕊️💫
Criss, is always with you, I’ll never stop saying this to you. I know you feel his energy when you’re playing guitar. You make him proud. Never forgive this you make Criss, very proud. 🪽🎸🌹🤍
Absolutely! You are magic fingers as always, with Honey pic in hand lightning fast against the threats of the neck, ripping burning the Frets the Strings… Smokin’ 🎸🎶🏰⚔️🤘♥️
This is great, it needs to be on the next (last?) Savatage album
I'm happy with my life at this state of mind and time, but i can too fully relate 🩸🗝😎
No idea how many times I've listened to this, but what i do know is the next time it pops up, I'll listen again....
🩸🗝️😎

🔥May Day. Really great tune, great lyrics! Interesting because throughout history the world's greatest cataclysms, such as the "Floods of Noah's day," have occurred cyclically mid May. 🩸🗝😎
Wow! I love it! Can't wait for the new album! I can hear it calling! 🎶🎼🎸 🩸🗝😎
Ever since you joined Savatage you have been my reigning champion of meat & potatoes riff’s & when I discovered your lead chop’s I was hooked on your brand & style, thank you for being so transparent & sharing your many work’s in progress, much mahalo !
Such a super talented musician !
Whats up with the new Savatage album? The world needs new Savatage!
everything pisses me off these days lol 😅🤷♂️
Probably wont see this, since this is a 2+ year old video, but had a question about this live version of gutter ballet's main riff: videoua-cam.com/video/_LuWFRmJB3k/v-deo.html. Was this something you came up with, or was this like a version that Criss had played before as well? It's a pretty simple but awesome change! Anyways good luck on any upcoming projects both savatage-related and solo ones!
First heard this about 20 years ago...crazy
Beautiful spontaneous notes from your head and you’re hands to the guitar and amp! 🎸🎼🏰🤟❤️🔥
Excellent 🤟❤️🔥
🐦🔥⚔️🐉🐲🏰🤟❤️🔥
Come on guys… give it to us already! We’ve been waiting/craving for ages for a new album and to us unlucky buggers that never got the chance to see you live please make this miracle happen
Some brutal riffing going on, cool 😊
YES !!!!!! The Mountain King Returns!!!!! This band is my bucket list and hopefully you guys make my very dream come true. Met you with TSO about 10 yrs and you signed my HOR denim jacket. Have only worn it 3 times since. I'd love for the rest of the band to sign it.
🪽🏹🐉🤘❤️🔥
Beautifully. Sometimes when I can’t find the words to say, I use music to speak for me. Thank you, Chris for sharing such soulful song 🕊️🎙️🎸🎶🩵
Yes
Is That Jon Oliva on vocals??
Nailed it. ✊🔥❤️🔥
Beautiful acoustic, beautiful memories two brothers. Writing songs together, powerful straight to the point, this isreality this is what I love.✊🤞🕊️ That Gaffey Guy he doesn’t realize how beautiful his voice is, I can hear, Jon Olivia, right there, singing along with Chris two beautiful voices, just sitting there playing acoustic, soulful makes my eyes water. It is what it is like, I said it’s reality. 🕊️🎸🎙️🎶🩵
The lyrics the words are very powerful, but so damn true. 💧 I understand exactly what this song these lyrics, these words are saying to me I get I listen, 💧 Time is slipping away, but we have our hope, our faith We will never surrender. We will just keep on believing. Kudos for a very beautiful written song. Thank you ✌️♥️
Awesome!!!
Hey Chris. My name is Kellan. I am one of your Legally Blynd fans. And I have a severe visual impairment. I also have a twin brother that has a visual impairment. We love your shows, especially in December in Grand Rapids. When you do temptation, revelation, can you please explain your set up on stage because visually it’s hard for me and my brother to be able to tell. Also, where does the fire come out of?
Thank you for the support. My set up is digital for the guitar. It’s off the stage. The fire is a propane type. They keep updating that. They try to always make safer ways to make these effects happen. It’s run by a single person under control of the computerized system.
