Metropolis Posted December 13, 2013 Share Posted December 13, 2013 I must admit this is seasonal but I love this album at Christmas. I've seen them live twice. Would have seen them last week but I have already seen The Lost Christmas Eve. And while I love the music the story is kind of a holiday bummer.

Duke Posted December 13, 2013 Share Posted December 13, 2013 I guess I should love TSO, despite them being a novelty band that very few people have heard of outside North America. But the fact that they essentially destroyed Savatage, one of my all time fave bands, just makes me bitter. "Gutter ballet" is pretty high on my list, come to think of it. Maybe not top ten, but definitely top 20. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Metropolis Posted December 13, 2013 Share Posted December 13, 2013 Hell the song that made TSO is a Savatage song. Literally. There is no difference between Sarajevo on Dead Winter Dead and Other Stories. They didn't even re record it. I've come to accept that Savatage is no more. Olive in almost every interview says that even a reunion record doesn't interest them. At this stage in life I can see how padding the bank account for your families future is a good idea. TSO does put on a hell of a live show though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Duke Posted December 16, 2013 Share Posted December 16, 2013 Yeah, but the part I don´t get is why all the semi-Savatage bands like Circle II Circle and Jon Oliva´s Pain are around. Or why Jon suddenly did a solo tour like a side project to the side project. At least he sang "Edge of thorns" at SRF, that made me happy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Kurgan Posted December 18, 2013 Share Posted December 18, 2013 I should add Savatage's 'Hall of the Mountain King' to my list. What a great album. 'Sirens' and 'The Dungeons are Calling' are pretty decent also. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Metropolis Posted February 13, 2014 Share Posted February 13, 2014 Never really been a huge Stratovarios fan but I've really been digging this Avantasia-esque album from Tolkki. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Odine Posted February 15, 2014 Share Posted February 15, 2014 Lately I'm digging Ty Segall "twins". Great if you like heavy fuzzy garage with Beatles-esque (John Lennon) vocal melodies and harmonies. Standout track is "ghost". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Metropolis Posted April 23, 2019 Share Posted April 23, 2019 Okay so it's my favorite band, but I genuinely can't stop listening to this album. They are in town Friday night and I cannot wait. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lord Darth Hunter Posted May 8, 2019 Share Posted May 8, 2019 I’ve always fancied live performances over studio recordings. There’s something about a live performance that brings out the essence of an artist’s work. So I’ve always preferred to listen to those types of albums, such as:. The Beatles - “Live at the BBC” and “On Air – Live at the BBC Volume 2”The Yardbirds - “The BBC Sessions”Nirvana - “MTV Unplugged in NY” and “From the Muddy Banks of the Wishkah”Héroes del Silencio - “Tour 2007”Enrique Bunbury - “Gran Rex” and “Madrid 51”Aterciopelados - “Reluciente, Rechinante y Aterciopelado” Aside from live albums like those, I do also like: The Beatles - “Rubber Soul” and “Revolver”Paul McCartney - “Band on the Run”Paulina Rubio - “Ananda”Caifanes - “El Nervio del Volcán”Ice T - “Original Gangster”Public Enemy “It Takes a Nation of Millions...” and “Apocalypse 91” Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
