Trans-Siberian Orchestra???

I thought only smart people liked them!

No, even dumbasses like them! I have seen every tour except the year my Wife passed. Couldn't bring myself to go to that one. The stage show gets more massive every year. My only complaint, it's not loud enough!

I love the Olivas & everything they touched.

Although they've never been in the mainstream spotlight, they left a huge musical legacy, unsurpassed by anyone else.

And Jon's still going.

There was a time Jon was writing for Savatage, Circle II Circle & TSO. All brilliant stuff. Genius doesn't begin to describe him.

Yeah man. It sucked when Criss Oliva was killed by a drunk driver. He could shred with the best of them. But still played great rhythm's, and he played with soul. In my mind, he was ahead of most of his contemporaries, because he was so diverse.



Flint, Michigan 1990. When their water was somewhat clean!

And he kept improving. He never stagnated, never relied on the same party tricks over & over.

Who knows how far he could have gone?

Stevie Ray, Criss Oliva... how about we start a conspiracy theory that the Illuminati wanted to kill off those who could've improved musical arts to an absurd level, so that they could unleash rap & hip-hop on the unsuspecting masses, thus decreasing the average intelligence to near-vegetable levels?

It's dumb enough to be true!

My friend takes her mom to see TSO every year. Her parents came with us to the EEAS and Skyscraper shows too.
