My dad put his studio headphones on my mother's stomach while she was pregnant with me. He mostly played Savatage through them. Once I was born, he would play this song through his speakers and I would fall right asleep. Been a metalhead ever since.
This band in my opinion never got the respect they deserved. Chriss was such an amazing guitarist. He should have been on guitar magazine covers as awesome as he played.
I agree that fame does not equal quality but the thing I don't understand is that Savatage was around the whole time when Heavy Metal was huge and there were many bands that were insanely popular. Savatage in my opinion should have been huge but they did make it huge as Trans Siberian Orchestra.
I wish they did a few more things where they both sang on songs as they started doing these multiple voice choir sort of thing and it would have made sense to have jon be some of the vocals instead of layering Zak over and over plus they could do this live.
He would have definitely transcended the "80's Metal" tag that took out many great pre-Grunge guitar players. Would likely STILL be making great music in Savage today, had he lived.
This band became an absolute force, when they added Zac on vocals. Jon is a great singer but there's a loss of...cohesiveness with the style he uses. I saw them in 1988 on the Hall of the Mountain King tour. Great band! Those vocals were just not palatable to a 19 year old MetalHead. My brain was not ready for "prog' yet, I guess.
Such an incredible band, with a huge amount of talent. They went beyond music. Savatage wrote so many emotional songs, good riffs, great solos, fantastic melodies and deep lyrics. Their music always gave me goosebumps and it's a shame they did not became that successful.
@@nostrathomas2437 I never knew Lukather played the second solo. I already loved Dirty Laundry since Joe Walsh is the man. Now I appreciate the song even more.
I was 3 cars back on that horrible day heading to the same music festival as Chriss. We did not know it was Chriss until that night when word spread at the festival (Live Stock in Zepherhills, Florida). Lot's of shots held aloft for Chriss that weekend... My wife cried the entire 2 days... I still can't play Savatage around her to this day all these years later. ♥
I remember a blog about a confession on this.I couldnt recall the names but the man said that he insisted on Criss coming for the festival that night to stay at their van.
This is the very first song I heard by Savatage, and I was blown away by how good this song was! I bought this album via BMG and played the hell out of it. From there I kept buying every album I saw for sale whether it was new or used from Savatage and have been a fan since 1993. This album, and Gutters Ballet are my 2 faves from them!!!
I play guitar I always liked his style . He found his own sound in the music world the way each guitarist should. No band should sound alike . R.I.P. Criss
Savatage are the most under appreciated metal band of all time. It is such a pity Chriss passed away so tragically. I hate people like Mustaine telling us how important he is and what a great guitarist he is. There is so much better. And here it is.
Jungle is bizzare... but it was always a problem that people from music video industry were focused on madonna or britney spears so they had no idea how to do movie clips for metal...
I was in high school, in the early 2000's, when I listened to Edge Thorns for the very first time. My friends used to sugest some heavy metal songs writing in the back of my school book during the school classes, to download in mp3. I was initiating in heavy metal world. Still one of my fav songs... brings me good old memories from that time. Everytime I hear Edge of Thorns in somewhere I stop whatever I'm doing to sing the whole song and to watch the movie that passes through my mind... this is a master piece and deserves respect. It's a very beautiful song! RIP Criss Oliva forever!!!
Yeah I always view Savatage and Blind Guardian as front-runners in the whole area of power/symphonic style of prog metal. Both have great lyrics and instrumentation.
I got this cassette when I was a kid at a flea market for cheap, listened to this song all the time and was the only one out of all of my friends that not only liked this song but knew who Savatage was. It's tough being an old school metal head in Michigan, all the cool young musicians like me are rare, scattered and dying off slowly.
Heard this song on the radio after knowing about Savatage through an Uncle that was in the music scene in the South at the time and thought some band was ripping off Savatage big time. Later found out after Criss died that it was Savatage who did this song.
amen to that not many sava where I live eather makes me mad. not many stores carry them.. if I was a metal shop owner carry a little bit of of thegood band
I've been a fan of this band from 1999 when I discovered them. All this time, their songs still get to me. I do not know how or why, they just do and move me. Amazing as much as it is bewildering...
In South Africa we did not get alot of exposure to lots of music so I have just discovered this band and I think they are one of the best 10 of the 80s.I am 52 yo by the way a product of the 70s and 80s. Remind me a bit of Queensryche.
I was just a two years old girl when Edge of Thorns was released but it is one of the best songs and albums of my life. Thank you Savatage for the music you guys created! 🤘🏻
One of the top 5 best handsdown metal OR rock bands EVER and Chriss Oliva was definitely one of MY biggest personal influences musically and to this very day is still sorely missed!!!!
O'neil, Olivia, Kinkel, and Pitrelli: They were amazing in Savatage, and absolutely unstoppable when they reformed as Trans-Siberian Orchestra years later. RIP Paul.
The death of Randy Rhoads made me listen to guitar differently. I was 9. His death made me curious as to who he was. And it made me want to play. Stevie Ray's death made me appreciate the blues way more. But Chris' death. Made me put the guitar down for a moment and just cry. Chris was that artist to me and my life. He just never got the respect that was due. Still makes me sad. But also because of Chris, it has made me pick my guitar up, wipe my tears and really work on technique and tone..
Do you realize that Randy and Criss only died about 40 miles apart from each other? Randy's plane crash was in Leesburg Florida, Criss's car accident was near Zephyrhills Florida
I am so glad this metal got airplay back in the day, Savatage was still very unique and rocked it out alwayz = dedication to Rock n Roll, I alwayz will respect that..bad ass tune then and now..
I loved savatage since the begin. Chris was an incredible player great tone and great sense of melody. I was always SO disappointed that he never made on it on guitar magazine or any articles. he was up there with Rhodes, lynch and others of the 80s
This is the kind of stuff that if I'm high af and hanging out with other "metal heads" and its loud I don't even care who the band is or how big their hits were, its all fuckin great. This guitar player definitely locks it down so no matter how big the songs are on the charts the band at least sounds awesome.
At the time making money and rocking the charts was considered the main goal but when your legacy is a shit ton of solid songs that no fan of metal is ever gonna ask you to turn off... that's a fuckin Win.
"Edge Of Thorns" An offering of reasons We put them all in play A covering of treasons That one by one we let slip away A solitary dancer So lost upon her stage I have seen you on the edge of dawn Felt you there before you were born Balanced your dreams upon the edge of thorns But I don't think about you anymore A study made from winter Of summers long ago And dreams that used to glitter Safely now hidden under snow And so we end the chapter And let the stage lights fade I have seen you on the edge of dawn Felt you there before you were born Balanced your dreams upon the edge of thorns But I don't think about you anymore I have seen you on the edge of dawn Felt you there before you were born Balanced your dreams upon the edge of thorns But I don't think about you anymore Anymore I don't think about you anymore Anymore I don't think about you I don't think about you I don't think about you Anymore, anymore, anymore
Such an incredible album. Savatage had a few albums with signs of TSO taking shape. But, this album was the one that really seemed to be where the idea of TSO really started to come through. But, I digress...I think if Savatage could re-make this video, they'd do it differently, as well. It didn't rise to the level of this song. As someone else stated, this is just one more example of a band with an incredible amount of talent that never got their due.....(for all the wrong reasons, as usual). I'll bring up TSO again, in the sense that TSO's success put a big spotlight on Savatage, for the fans that never knew who Savatage was. For those of us who lived through the industry in during the 80's and 90's, we got to live through and witness something magical...
An amazing song from an amazing band who never received the recognition they deserved. RIP Chriss Olivia, I look forward to hearing you on the other side.
Indeed mate, The Oliva brothers kick ass. Definitely one of the heavy metal duos of all time. In fact, Savatage is one of the best and most underrated bands ever: ua-cam.com/video/2eNBk7QrCeQ/v-deo.html
not many people know that this is TSO but it is and i have loved them since the beginning. So sad to lose Chriss Olivia but so proud of their journey and how it grew with me in character and intensity and genius......I hope they continue forever
i have seen you on the edge of dawn. felt you here before you were born. now etched your dreams upon the edge of thorns. but I don't think about you anymore.
The music is timeless. I was lucky enough to see Savatage live in this line-up in Berlin, I think even several times. Now I hear more deathcore and something like that, but Savatage are the heroes of my youth. Zach Stevens is also a great singer!!!!
One of the best bands ever. And a rest in forever peace to Savatage guitarist Chris Oliva and as well to his wife Dawn who never recovered from the heartache of losing her husband and was found dead in her home in 2005. It’s a travesty that the drunk driver who killed Chris only served 18 months in prison and he had 7 prior DUI convictions.
I have been listening to Savatage since the late eighties. What a tragedy to have lost Chriss at the prime of his career. I bawl my eyes out whenever I listen to When the Crowds are Gone. RIP to Chriss and all those who have left us way too young . You are sorely missed.
I can't believe how underrated Criss Oliva is. Dimebag was a great guitarist as well, but I just can't understand why Dimebag is always on cover of magazines while nobody seems to care about Criss. I mean, he was one of the most unique, most emotional metal guitarists, and he deserves a lot more respect.
Those of us who know "DAMN GOOD MUSIC" when we hear it!!! We're not into what is in with the "POPULAR BULLSHIT" that people like you are!!! In other words, we enjoy talent, not keeping up with the jones's, or the with the "IN CROWD"!!! Fucking "DUUUHHHHHH"!!! Ernie Wilber And this is one of the most talented and professional bands ever, whether the original members, or the other various lineups due to some health issues with some, or even the very sad passing of Criss Oliva!!! Ernie Wilber 🤘👹🤘✌️

Possibly the most underrated metal band ever.

Possibly the most underrated band ever.
Yes,them and Fates Warning
there is a truth here
You are so right.. anybody that disagrees.. Is well... So 24HOURS AGO..RIGHT
My dad put his studio headphones on my mother's stomach while she was pregnant with me. He mostly played Savatage through them. Once I was born, he would play this song through his speakers and I would fall right asleep. Been a metalhead ever since.
Cool legacy....his a legend 4 doin that 4 you
I'd call that music education
Awesome song 🎵
Your dad is a great father !!!
This is my cousin lead singer awesome to hear!
This is not just a tune, it's an era.
So so true..!!
Tampa bay pride
🤘🤘
sure was a great era to listen to metal i loved it
You are so right in so many ways.
one of the greatest band ever in my opinion
+Tim Meding well the band they turned into (Trans-Siberian Orchestra) are better.IMO
+Jd Dehl
TSO is great but no like Savatage way more.
+King Diamond alright.
+Jd Dehl
Its a personal thing I was a huge Criss Oliva Jon Oliva fan back in the 80s.
+King Diamond yeah I got ya...Savatage are pretty good.
This band in my opinion never got the respect they deserved. Chriss was such an amazing guitarist. He should have been on guitar magazine covers as awesome as he played.
Holy truth my friend. THEY ARE METAL LEGEND
We all know that fame is not related to quality
I agree that fame does not equal quality but the thing I don't understand is that Savatage was around the whole time when Heavy Metal was huge and there were many bands that were insanely popular. Savatage in my opinion should have been huge but they did make it huge as Trans Siberian Orchestra.
best metal band ever.....RIP Criss
Criss is legend. Never to be forgotten.
Zack is one hell of a vocalist, but the legacy and Identity of the band is in Jon's iconic, unmistakable & epic voice.
It took me quite a while to warm up to Zack's vocals, but I eventually did. But if it comes down to picking one or the other, absolutely Jon.
I wish they did a few more things where they both sang on songs as they started doing these multiple voice choir sort of thing and it would have made sense to have jon be some of the vocals instead of layering Zak over and over plus they could do this live.
Criss Oliva had the perfect guitar tone. What an amazing musician!
Yeah love is tone 🚀🚀
He would have definitely transcended the "80's Metal" tag that took out many great pre-Grunge guitar players. Would likely STILL be making great music in Savage today, had he lived.
He would have been up there a long with Dimebag as a guitar player. Guy was a fav in my book 🤘
I'm glad to see all the positive
RIP Criss you was one hell of a guitar!!
one of the best guitar solo´s ever.
Don't know which is better, Zach's vocals, Criss's riffs, Johnny's bass, Steve's beats, or Jon's piano. I'ma just go with all of the above
Not a dull moment with Savatage. Masterpiece after master piece. Definitely one of the underrated gems: ua-cam.com/video/2eNBk7QrCeQ/v-deo.html
@@madeofmetal7432 definitively Jon Oliva over Zach's vocals
shut up
This band became an absolute force, when they added Zac on vocals. Jon is a great singer but there's a loss of...cohesiveness with the style he uses. I saw them in 1988 on the Hall of the Mountain King tour. Great band! Those vocals were just not palatable to a 19 year old MetalHead. My brain was not ready for "prog' yet, I guess.
All good if it's savatage
These tunes are taking me back to when metal was really metal sounds I am 58 years old and I never get tired of this riffs of this good metal bands
Just turned 61yrs young and will always love METAL !!!!! 🙏🙏🙏🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🎸🎤🤘
This band is a perfect example of having truckloads of talent not leading to worldwide success
at the time there was a paradigm shift happening, hair bands were on the way out and grunge was the thing even tho this band predates hair bands
Truly amazing talent .. both Zakk or and Jon on vox...
Agree with you.. they deserved far better.
You know they are also Trans Siberian Orchestra, with worldwide success?
@@mommykillz definitely aware of it. Thank you though.. appreciate it.
So true
Such an incredible band, with a huge amount of talent. They went beyond music. Savatage wrote so many emotional songs, good riffs, great solos, fantastic melodies and deep lyrics. Their music always gave me goosebumps and it's a shame they did not became that successful.
simply one of the best solos ever wrote my opinion
+kevin becker I was just thinking the same thing
The solo on comfortably numb is universally hailed as the #1 solo ever, but this is right there!!
It's in my top three along with Comfortably Numb and Dirty Laundry(Joe Walsh on first solo Steve Lukather on the second)
This solo has EVERYTHING - Criss -THE MAN
@@nostrathomas2437 I never knew Lukather played the second solo. I already loved Dirty Laundry since Joe Walsh is the man. Now I appreciate the song even more.
25 yrs without Criss
who knows how many songs like this, he could have gifted us
GONE BUT NOT FORGOTTEN
Diego
:(

Sou do Brasil e não sabia que o vocalista dessa banda tinha morrido em 1996, agora em 2024 que soube.😢
ABSOLUTE MASTERPIECE!!!!!!!!!!!

I play guitar I always liked his style . He found his own sound in the music world the way each guitarist should. No band should sound alike . R.I.P. Criss
Savatage forever ❤
So different, a metal band playing in the jungle! Nothing castles, swords, blood, warriors...just everglades. I like it!
Savatage are the most under appreciated metal band of all time. It is such a pity Chriss passed away so tragically. I hate people like Mustaine telling us how important he is and what a great guitarist he is. There is so much better. And here it is.
A stones throw from Criss's apartment
@@michael88863 Hey man don't be dissing Dave! Least he's not as bad as Kerry.
Jungle is bizzare... but it was always a problem that people from music video industry were focused on madonna or britney spears so they had no idea how to do movie clips for metal...
They're dressed like they belong in castle. In any case, great

I love Savatage ❤️ very beatiful music 🎸🎶🎸 December 2024 GREECE 🇬🇷 ✌️
Without Savatage, Progressive/Symphonic Metal would look very different today. Its a shame they never got as big as they deserved. R.I.P Criss
Um monstro Chriss Oliva
Yeah I always view Savatage and Blind Guardian as front-runners in the whole area of power/symphonic style of prog metal. Both have great lyrics and instrumentation.
@@djdrack4681 Savatage weren't power metal. Never had that kind of riffs, melodic lines neither the vocals
Let's go Brandon!
One of the Greatest Song in the Music History
The most criminally underrated band ever. In my top three though 🤘
He who received least, deserved it the most (R.I.P Criss).
I got this cassette when I was a kid at a flea market for cheap, listened to this song all the time and was the only one out of all of my friends that not only liked this song but knew who Savatage was. It's tough being an old school metal head in Michigan, all the cool young musicians like me are rare, scattered and dying off slowly.
I know how u feel, Do u know Dog's D'Amour, You will like what you hear as well
Heard this song on the radio after knowing about Savatage through an Uncle that was in the music scene in the South at the time and thought some band was ripping off Savatage big time. Later found out after Criss died that it was Savatage who did this song.

You wanna jam online?
play on
This band is now my top favorite metal bands, of all time!
Criss Oliva, RIP. Captivating tone and solos.
RIP Criss Oliva. Another fantastic guitarist gone too young
This song is so powerful... Criss put his heart and soul and then some into his final release
@Jo Blow You must be thinking of "Handful Of Rain" because I saw Chris play this song in concert and met him afterward.
Metal Head, and still a Rocker till the day I die. 👁🖤🤘
100% 🙏🙏🙏🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🎸🥁🎤🤘
I've been a fan of this band from 1999 when I discovered them. All this time, their songs still get to me. I do not know how or why, they just do and move me. Amazing as much as it is bewildering...
Georgi, same thing here ... this takes me back to the good old days when i was a kid. They still move me and get to me. The golden days of the 90s
In South Africa we did not get alot of exposure to lots of music so I have just discovered this band and I think they are one of the best 10 of the 80s.I am 52 yo by the way a product of the 70s and 80s. Remind me a bit of Queensryche.
they sure are amazing,sound is real cool man
92 for me, my Brother introduced them to me. RIP Mike. ❤
This song never gets old. Criss alone can tell a story with his amazing solos. RIP Criss.
But got renewed by Powerwolf :>
Best band I ever known personally.. From the start and. Never ver will be an equal.. For especially CRISS..i miss dearly..
Thanks very much..
Zack's best Vocal performance ever!!
"..but I don't think about you anymore..."
Great piece of metal ballad. Great piano intro... good riff... and this trubadour-like vocal... love it
Wow this good feeling of the 90s... unbreakable
I had to listen to this song over a million times to get enough
Saw Savatage the last time just 2 days before Chris died. One of the best shows ever.
The greatest Band ever
I was just a two years old girl when Edge of Thorns was released but it is one of the best songs and albums of my life. Thank you Savatage for the music you guys created! 🤘🏻
We are the same age!
One of the top 5 best handsdown metal OR rock bands EVER and Chriss Oliva was definitely one of MY biggest personal influences musically and to this very day is still sorely missed!!!!
Great song we all like and remember!
From the opening note - you knew it was going to be epic and it just soars higher and higher and higher. Unbelievable.
Criss' solo is like an entire song on its own, just incredible. It's all feels!
I HEARD THIS BAND A WEEK AGO, AND I CANT QUIT THEM OF MY MIND
RIP Christopher Oliva 😞 🕯
Classic Metal Masterpiece From One Of Florida's Finest. Savatage

I am so glad this metal got airplay back in the day, Savatage was still very unique and rocked it out alwayz = dedication to Rock n
Roll,
I alwayz will respect that..bad ass tune then and now..
Criss Oliva ...in guitar heaven with the other guitar gods!
What a song...
I loved savatage since the begin. Chris was an incredible player great tone and great sense of melody. I was always SO disappointed that he never made on it on guitar magazine or any articles. he was up there with Rhodes, lynch and others of the 80s
I could swear he was on the cover of one once at least.
I love his beautiful voice,the band is amongst my top ten band....
Really great song. The vocals, the guitar, the bass and drums are outstanding! This is s very underrated band.
This is the kind of stuff that if I'm high af and hanging out with other "metal heads" and its loud I don't even care who the band is or how big their hits were, its all fuckin great.

At the time making money and rocking the charts was considered the main goal but when your legacy is a shit ton of solid songs that no fan of metal is ever gonna ask you to turn off... that's a fuckin Win.
CHRISTOPHER 'CRISS' MICHAEL OLIVA! 🌹🎸🌹🤘🌹
"Edge Of Thorns"
An offering of reasons
We put them all in play
A covering of treasons
That one by one we let slip away
A solitary dancer
So lost upon her stage
I have seen you on the edge of dawn
Felt you there before you were born
Balanced your dreams upon the edge of thorns
But I don't think about you anymore
A study made from winter
Of summers long ago
And dreams that used to glitter
Safely now hidden under snow
And so we end the chapter
And let the stage lights fade
I have seen you on the edge of dawn
Felt you there before you were born
Balanced your dreams upon the edge of thorns
But I don't think about you anymore
I have seen you on the edge of dawn
Felt you there before you were born
Balanced your dreams upon the edge of thorns
But I don't think about you anymore
Anymore
I don't think about you anymore
Anymore
I don't think about you
I don't think about you
I don't think about you
Anymore, anymore, anymore
R.I.P. Criss Oliva - great underrated talent
Love this!
one of the best bands ever, that just proved a negative correlation between talent and success.

Such a unique guitar tone, not overdistorted, not overcompressed. And the solo is a pure masterpiece. Legends 🔥
one of my favorite bands. Was cool to hear Chris give a nod out to Savatage during TSO show last night.
heavy metal gem.

In other words, we enjoy talent, not keeping up with the jones's, or the with the "IN CROWD"!!! Fucking "DUUUHHHHHH"!!! Ernie Wilber And this is one of the most talented and professional bands ever, whether the original members, or the other various lineups due to some health issues with some, or even the very sad passing of Criss Oliva!!! Ernie Wilber 🤘👹🤘✌️
“Thank you!! And now for our last song of the night. A song about someone I don’t think about anymore.”
I don't think about you anymore... I'll just write you this song.
Haha
Haha. Well he wasn't until someone asked "How's Stephanie" and so he realized she was dead to him and wrote the song. Maybe?
obviously it's from the perspective of a person in denial
@@michaelhudson2912 I think we all know that.
@@SouthernSkeptic Damn you Southern Skeptic, I've grown weary of your skepticism but I can't resist your southern charm
Rest In Peace Chris your tone and talent are well respected
What a song! Magnificient intro and guitar solos, impressive vocals... Fully "ear"gasm!
This is the best guitar solo since 1993
Such a great/powerful song! That whammy squeal during the solo, love it: 4:00
One of my biggest inspirations, still love playing along with some of the greatest
A nice song of Savatage! The best north american metal band!
One of my fav tracks...OUTSTANDING 🎸🇬🇧🤘
Classic!
Классная песня, суперальбом, прекрасная группа. Жаль, что уже не будет такой виртуозной игры на гитаре Криса Оливы.
