Unrealized potential

Well, I hope nobody crucifies me for saying this, but Criss Oliva did as good or maybe even a better job of that in '81 than EVH did. As for the rest of the band, I can't believe they evolved into Savatage.

Agreed.

I've said it before...and I'll say it again...

Criss Oliva was THE most underrated guitarist of the 80s...

Keith Collins was gone by the time Savatage started doing Savatage...and Steve's drum parts were never that difficult, anyway...

Jon was always Jon...

Always was a HUGE classic Savatage fan, I love being able to share them...

Actually I got into every version of Streetheart.

Paul Dean and Matt Frenette would of been interesting in the latter years perhaps.

The Streetheart - Streetheart Album...82?... with Jeff Neil on Guitars was most likely the most known south of the border.

I caught a Streetheart Reunion years ago...Matt was back along spider and Geunther...Shields had recruited the guitar player from The Queen City Kids...awesome show.

Yep, now that you mention it, if you're going to talk Canadian bands, Saga should be on the list! The US missed the boat on this kick ass favorite of mine. I love the whole Chapters concept. If you haven't heard them I highly recommend them.
