Cool track but technically it's not "Savatage," it's Jon Oliva and a group of backing players from other bands. It's off of a Metallica tribute album called METALLIC ASSAULT
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Metallic_assault
The rest of the "band" on this track is: Jon Oliva (Savatage; vocals) Bob Balch (Fu Manchu; guitar) Lemmy Kilmister (Motörhead; bass) Gregg Bissonette (Steve Vai, David Lee Roth; drums)

I cannot watch Youtube at work, but is it the one on the Metallica tribute album? Nothing Else Matters, right? If so, it's not Savatage, it's just Jon Oliva singing with some other musicians.

I think its a song with Jon Oliva and other musicians. At least, that's what I have read from the last 2 posts.

We already talked about it in another thread. There we established that this is not Savatage, just Jon and some other musicians doin' the song for a 'tallica tribute CD.

I'm wondering if it might not be Jon Oliva singing it, but the other guys are from different bands.
Or maybe I'm alone in thinking that... I dunno.

I think it's a pretty good bet that the guys are from other bands, and it might be Jon singing. But I could be wrong as well.

You guys are killin' me.
Don't blame Fingers, blame the guy who posted it on YouTube with incorrect info.
It actually is a pretty decent version of the song, even though I'm almost terminally sick of this particular track....

I think Jon (and everyone else) does a great job with it, but I'm sick of the song as well.

My Windows Media Player under artist says it's Balch/Bissonette/Oliva/Kilmister I don't know who the first two are but obviously the others are Jon and Lemmy.

"Balch" is Bob Balch of Fu Manchu. "Bissonette" is Greg Bissonette formerly of David Lee Roth's solo band.

If you look closely, you can see me playing cowbell in the background.
