Looking forward to that one last studio album next year. Man what memories with these guys, though I never did get to see them live. I did have the honor and pleasure of speaking to Chris Caffery and Al Pitrelli on the phone in 1998 when I called into a college radio metal show that I listened to regularly; the DJ was a massive Savatage fan and had them in as guests. 'The Wake of Magellan' had just come out. Only talked a few minutes but they were extremely cool and gracious. It was a spur of the moment call; I got through to the station and didn't think to tape it!
Savatage is a fenomenal band. The wake of megellan a masterpies album. John Oliva my favorit songwritter! RIP Chris Oliva! Thank you the great albums and songs!❤
I have an early Savatage press kit with a photo that has an unusual band logo. Savatage is in a rectangle with a point on top and a small diamond pushing up the bottom. The Par Records info sheet talks about the upcoming album "Sirens".
Thanks for sharing this, I love it! First time hearing "Do You Want Me Now", thats a great track, it should've been on an album. If Jon released all these unteleased pieces of music I'd buy every one. I don't care if they were only 30 second clips, I can never get enough of Criss era Savatage.
Great stuff! thanks for sharing....of the two above, I like The Dungeons are Calling Again (I remember Chris Caffery posting this on his facebook, singing along to the tentative track....it sounded FANTASTIC! ) Long live Savatage and the Mountain King. \m/
I can remember when I found a compilation that had included The Dungeons Are Calling on with a buncha others; most of really never went anywhere else. but the 6 song Ep The Dungeons Are Calling have always had a special place in my heart ❤️ I was on the road for our 4th Lp driving through Atlanta meeting alongside Hallow’s Eve and Parabellum ( pre-Acid Bath) and I heard about his passing. Sadly, I cannot believe that it’s been 30 years already. RIP 🎸 Sincerely, DJP Anal Cunt;Postmortem and Kilslug Sony; Earache 🇬🇧 Columbia and TAANG!!

Cris Oliva was one of the best guitarists to walk the earth at the time, other than the late guitarist Randy Rhoda’s. Both were amazing musicians and really great people!! R.I.P. Randy and Cris!!😁🤘🤘🤘🤘❤❤❤ Miss both of you!! These recordings were amazing!! Everything was so raw and powerful, I loved it 😁😁🤘🤘🤘🤘
From Savatage to TransSiberian Orchestra. From Metal to Christmas Metal. You've gotta hand it to these guys, they found the niche of all niches. Milk it for all it's worth boys!!!
Jon Oliva is Truly one of the Greatest Metal Gods \m/ Incredible Singer , Writer, Musician Period, so Inspirational throughout my life... Dio, Halford, Tate, Dane, Oliva, Dickinson, Midnight, Alder, Borden.. It is just sad that Chris isn't with us... though Jon has somehow been able to keep Chris's sound infused with everything he does and Chris's influence in the creation of Savatage was so Paramount that it is completely fused with all of their music, and that says alot....

Very excited for a Savatage album! It will be interesting to hear the direction they take considering the loss of Paul 😢 Hopefully they had some ideas or arrangements that he have been involved with. Either way, I have I know these guys will knock it out of the park!
Christopher an Jon were the best brother duo in metal!! Second place goes to the ghalagher brothers of Raven💪👊👊👊🇺🇸🇬🇧unfortunately for me I only saw savatage one time..they had a new album out but only played a few songs off it..they covered dam near all of power of the night stuff!!! It was swizzles here in York pa..one of the best shows there ever..an Jon was the best singer from that era!!!RIP MR. Guitar❤
Great Catch!, . . . but no. Gene Simmons notoriously of the band KISS was afluent in the Tampa Bay music scene during the 80's playing on stage with bands like ROXX GANG and others. Tampa Bay was the music mecca back then Jack Douglas famed producer of CHEAP TRICK was also a local favorite signing local bands to EPIC RECORDS like the STRANGER BAND, to this day ROBIN ZANDER lead singer of CHEAP TRICK still sits in from time to time on GREG BILLINGS (lead singer for STRANGER) live sets. Another local staple that sits in and sings with GREG is BRIAN JOHNSON lead singer for AC\DC, so ya a lot of the local talent was writing or collaborating around these great national talents, you will notice on side B there is an AVATAR tune that sounds eeriely similar to a famous CHEAP TRICK song, let me know when you figure it out and thanx always for listening to my you tube channel it means a lot to me that this era of music never be forgotten! Cheers!!!
of course as recorded on tape that had an actual reggae song on it before being recorded over on the same tape by the affore mentioned song in 4 parts, Rock Duck split up those parts to enrich the fuller ambient sound of the album, other wise they were all played back to back over a previously recorded over session.
He did that so you CAN'T Steal the songs & release them, plus, he'd get sued if he didn't place any disruption in any of the songs, THINK dude! These Demos AREN'T his, he's only Sharing!
Criss will never die in my heart.
Hearing this 2023, wow,how todays génération couldn't give them recognition they deserve🤟
One of the most melodic guitar players. RIP Chris

I saw that sounded great. Can't wait for the new album. I just wish it was only Jon singing, never much of a Zac fan.

Very excited for a Savatage album! It will be interesting to hear the direction they take considering the loss of Paul 😢
Hopefully they had some ideas or arrangements that he have been involved with. Either way,
I have I know these guys will knock it out of the park!
TRES Cool Early Savatage!!!
I have this rare Demo! Keith Collens released a demo in 1992. I jave it as well!! He didn't play well with savatage but he was a proficient Bassist
Christopher an Jon were the best brother duo in metal!! Second place goes to the ghalagher brothers of Raven💪👊👊👊🇺🇸🇬🇧unfortunately for me I only saw savatage one time..they had a new album out but only played a few songs off it..they covered dam near all of power of the night stuff!!!

"The Dungeons are Calling Again."
Cool...the origins of Mentally Yours.
fantastic !!
a couple of good tunes
Easily i can till this guitar intro must belong to criss oliva..unique style and tone...RIP
NICE 👍😎🤘
Cryptically saying "Rock Duck" throughout your videos is annoying!
Where the Frick did you find these?
Wow...I hear some Steeler and even Queen in here
I'm guessing American Steeler w/Yngwie and not German Steeler?
Ohh yes totally!
Curtain call would be great
If you need to have a vocal of someone saying "rock duck" in the video how about saying it in between songs instead of over them?
What is up with the random voice that comes up every now and then?
"Love me hust alittle bit"...-is this produced by Gene Simmons ????
Great Catch!, . . . but no. Gene Simmons notoriously of the band KISS was afluent in the Tampa Bay music scene during the 80's playing on stage with bands like ROXX GANG and others.

ROCK DUCK > wood duck
That guitar intro was just called "Reggae song" iirc.
of course as recorded on tape that had an actual reggae song on it before being recorded over on the same tape by the affore mentioned song in 4 parts, Rock Duck split up those parts to enrich the fuller ambient sound of the album, other wise they were all played back to back over a previously recorded over session.
@@markchristophergarrettrock duck didn't do jack shit other than re upload audio from other UA-cam videos and put "rock duck" over it.
The "rock duck" crap ruins it.
Rock Duck stop talking into the song.
yah, it's like it's an early 2000s hip-hop mixtape, lol.
He did that so you CAN'T Steal the songs & release them, plus, he'd get sued if he didn't place any disruption in any of the songs, THINK dude! These Demos AREN'T his, he's only Sharing!
@@Macedonia71 and he stole these songs
