I LOVED his playing on the Hall of the Mountain King album! I have to go buy it on CD now to learn those tunes now that I think about it.

<font size="2" face="Verdana, Helvetica, sans-serif">Hey Steve,
Moved back to Colorado about a month ago, Hawaii was way too expensive for my taste! The education system there is the pits! Would not have been a good move for my boys so I moved back and it's been snowing here ever since!!!!LOL!!! Everything here in Colorado is better than ever, found a great job, the family is doing great, and I'm on my quest to find another band. Thanks for the inquiry.

<font size="2" face="Verdana, Helvetica, sans-serif">Pick up a copy of "Streets", while you're at it as well, Criss was an unreal, very underrated player. I constantly listen to his work and learn new things daily from his playing. Could you imagine what Savatage and TSO would be like today if he was still around?

Forget the samples from the homepage, these are early demo-versions. The final result will kick some major ass [img]graemlins/toast.gif[/img]

Re: Criss Oliva appreciation thread

Yesterday I received a piece of Criss memorobilia. I got a poster from a Savatage performance during the Streets tour, it was here in Chicago, and it was at a club that is long gone... The Avalon. (Sully might remember it - Dream Theater fans have seen it [img]graemlins/images/icons/wink.gif[/img] )
