lets discuss part of Savatage's Edge Of Thorns....

I have a CD single from this album that smashes'em all together as one track called the "Follow Me Trilogy!"

Ever since I got that I've always thought of them as one long track instead of three separate tracks.

I need to get that.

The first two yes but I never noticed that Exit Music went with it. I have, however, always loved that song; it is so beautiful and mellow. Follow Me is one of my favorite tracks on there (actually EVERY song on EOT are my favorites).

In an unrelated note, when I was listening to Hall Of The Mountain King last night I could hear very strong similarities in style with EOT, moreso than the albums in between (but maybe that's just me).

You suddenly feel the urge to send me that CD. It's impossible to resis, you just HAVE to sent it to me!

Correct, because you're sending to to me.



It is useless to resist.

I've never seen it either.

Wow, you mean I have a rare one here? Haha, I had no idea. I found it at a record/CD swap meet years ago. I think I paid 2 bucks for it.

It's a promo-only single simply called "SAVATAGE 1993." Released by Atlantic Records, catalog # is PRCD 5194-2.

The track listing is as follows:
1. He Carves His Stone (LP Version)
2. Follow Me Trilogy (LP versions of Labyrinths, Follow Me, Exit Music)
3. Ghost in the Ruins (live in Netherlands 6/10/93)
4. Hall of the Mountain King (live in Netherlands 6/10/93)

It doesn't have a cover, just a back tray, which is a blurry picture of the band in silhouette. Unfortunately my f**kin scanner is inoperative at the moment or I'd scan the back tray and post a pic so y'all could get a look at it. Here's a crappy image of it that I pinched off of some Savatage fan site that was not in English:



There's no front cover image shown so I'm assuming this CD never had one to begin with.

And by the way... IT'S MINE DAMMIT! YOU CAN'T HAVE IT!

"Follow Me" is, in my opine, one of the best songs they have ever recorded!

That album actually has some of their best tunes, I think; "Edge Of Thorns," "Degrees Of Sanity," "He Carves His Stone," "Damien," and possibly my all-time favorite Savatage tune, "All That I Bleed."

Shhh....I never cared for Edge of Thorns.....keep it under your hat.....

I'll forgive you, but you only get so much of those before I'm kicking down your door and confiscating your metalhead membership card.

Consider yourself smacked upside the head with a large fish.
