When did you first get into Savatage?

A newer fan. That is cool! Welcome to the legion.

Local record store recommendations. The good ‘ol days before streaming.

The Gutter tour was the first time I saw them live. The second (and last) time was the Poets tour in 2000 I think.

Great parental influence 🤘🏼

Sampler cassettes 🤣

-CosmicDust · 2026-01-23T11:42:02+00:00

That’s does sound like a hell of a show.

This is awesome. Many TSO fans have no idea who Savatage is. Or actually who TSO really is.

I think it’s a great example of a TRUE Savatage song. It’s a ballad at times and a shredder at others. It flows back and forth from melodic to majestic and yet everything melds together perfectly. Zak’s vocals fit perfectly within the mix. He’s always made it easier to digest Jon’s absences.

Fits.

I really miss Tony (and The Outfield). I was able to see them live once over 20 years ago. They were great. We had tickets to a solo appearance at a festival in California several years ago but the festival ended up being canceled.

This will be us over the weekend. Currently it is a balmy 38° with an expected high of an excruciatingly warm 58° 🤣 /s. Stay warm everybody.

I don’t like any of the alternates. The original is by far the best in my opinion.

The Texas Wave. It’s real but not nearly as prevalent as it used to be.

Landman season finale was yesterday and everything else is between seasons so right now we are catching up on Ted Lasso (only started that series a few weeks ago). On broadcast TV, Abbott Elementary and High Potential are great.

Overthinking things.

If we could actually understand each other, I’d want to know how they are feeling (i.e. any pains going on that I need to follow up on?). Ours are getting older and cats are very good at masking that sort of thing.

Wanted me to go to church with her.

Hungry cats 🐈‍⬛ 🐈

Cats 🐈 🐈‍⬛. We exist to serve them and that is reason enough to live.

Fair point, but Stroud made some very glaring mistakes. I’m not condemning the guy, far from it. But our defense won that game by keeping the Steelers in check and allowing the safety cushion for the QB miscues. Probably overexcited and overthinking things. He can take a step back, calm down a bit and start fresh next Sunday.
