He said there is more Criss tunes on GW than on MR. as far as songs go. On MR tye were more riffs than songs.

Gotta be honest, never checked into JOP.

What's a good album to start with Rich?

Jon found some old tapes with some Criss riffs on them and has been using them the last two cds to write songs. Very cool. You should listen to the interview. It's great.

You really can't go wrong with any of the three, but Rich is right, GW
has the most songs that are reminicent of the older Savatage. I still
think that 'Tage Mahal is overall the best album, though.

I listened to this on Friday and was blown away by how cool Jon seems. Just a down to Earth guy who doesn't have delusions about the music business. He has the fans first and foremost in his priorities.

Spec, maybe we can meet him in Palm Harbor. That would be cool.

I must say that working with Oliva for the past 4 + years has been
not only the most amazing musical experience but the most
fun I have ever had in this business. That interview is exactly his day-to-day attitude towards music the fans and his sincere appreciation for the support he has and continues to receive. He is one of the nicest people you could every meet... intelligent, and hard working.

Global Warning has been released for less than 4 months and we are
already 8-9 songs deep into working on the next JOP release. When he is not recording TSO's next record NIGHTCASTLE, he is hard a work digging through more of the Criss Oliva forgotten riffs and forging ahead with what seems to be an endless plate of new songs. It's just insane to watch him work and the open platform JOP has for everyone to bring song idea's into the mix. He treats us as an equal, which lord knows is a far cry from the actual truth. The day it ends will be a very sad moment in this drummers life. It's nice to know that he has no intentions of stopping what we are doing.

Gracious and humble he always is....now that's a true legend!

Hey kong,

Do you guys do a meet and greet or hang out with the fans before or after the show? I'll be at the September show at Bourbon Street and would flip my gourd if I could meet you guys. Smile
