Savatage. I am a fan of John Oliva.......a big man with loads of talent. He's had some health issues, a stroke I think, but he's still kickin it.

He's a very nice guy, from what I've heard. Would love to kick back and drink with him.

His late and great brother was a fantastic guitarist.

Yes Chris was an awesome guitarist.

TSO is a fabulous show to see for Christmas. Not a thing wrong with commercial success.
