| What is you favorite 'Tage album? - Toss up between STREETS and POWER OF THE NIGHT for Jon's era, EDGE OF THORNS for Zak era What is your favorite 'Tage song? - "Power of the Night" Favorite member? - Criss Oliva Have you ever seen them live? Yes What years? 1990 Gutter Ballet tour, 1996 Dead Winter Dead tour What is your favorite Criss solo? "Prelude to Madness" Who is your favorite guitarist who replaced Criss? Would Chris Caffery count? If so, him. How did you hear about Criss' death? Heard about it on WSOU-FM (New Jersey's hard rock station) Jon or Zach? I like'em both but prefer Jon Is Jon insane? Probably, but that's what makes him so endearing Have you ever met any members of the band? I met Chris Caffery in 1991 or '92 in between his Savatage stints, when he was playing with a short lived band called "WitchDoctor" -- very cool guy. Like a dumb a$$ I didn't think to bring anything along for him to autograph. Do you like TSO? I like the Christmas albums a lot; wasn't so crazy about "Beethoven's Last Night" though Do you like JOP? Yup What is your favorite 'Tage ballad? "Believe" _________________ "If you're a false, don't entry, because you'll be burned and died!"

| What is you favorite 'Tage album? Hall Of The Mountain King
What is your favorite 'Tage song? Hall Of The Mountain King
Favorite member? Hmm I dont think I have a favorite member. If I had to choose though I guess it would be Dr. Killdrums only cause he had that nickname and his drum set had skulls on it. Otherwise they were all good in their own way.
Have you ever seen them live? What years? Unfortunetly no. They played so close to me too I think in '97 an all acoustic set.
What is your favorite Criss solo? Cant pick
Who is your favorite guitarist who replaced Criss? Probably Caffery cause Im most familiar with him.
How did you hear about Criss' death? I think I read it online somewhere. I didnt know he even died at the time I got into the band. I thought he just left.
Jon or Zach? I dont know. They were both so good on the albums they were on. Maybe Zach cause his voice is a little more easier to get used to then Jon.
Is Jon insane? Hmmm....I dont know. Maybe for letting himself get very overweight. He seems like a cool guy though, I just wish he would get himself in shape. Im not one to talk cause I know what it feels like, but if I was his size I would really think of doing something.
Have you ever met any members of the band? No. Some of my band members and friends have met Caffery since he lives our their area in NY. He records where we recorded our album.
Do you like TSO? Not really
Do you like JOP? Yep
What is your favorite 'Tage ballad? hmm so many...Sleep, If I Go Away, Believe, All That I Bleed just about all the ballads | |

| What is you favorite 'Tage album? - Gutter Ballet
What is your favorite 'Tage song? - Midas Knight
Favorite member? - Criss
Have you ever seen them live? What years? - Yes. Gutter Ballet tour and Streets Tour
What is your favorite Criss solo? - Too tough to call, but I've always loved the breakdown at the end of 24 Hours Ago.
Who is your favorite guitarist who replaced Criss? - None, stopped listening to them after Criss passed. Without Jon or Criss it just wasn't Savatage to me...it became "The Paul O'Neill Project".
How did you hear about Criss' death? - Think it was Guitar World or some other music magazine.
Jon or Zach? - Jon...not even close.
Is Jon insane? - Don't know him personally (met him after the Gutter Ballet gig though, he seemed like a really down to earth nice guy), although I've heard through others he's had a long battle with substance abuse issues.
Have you ever met any members of the band? Jon & Criss after the aformentioned Gutter Ballet show, sat down at a table and had a beer with them afterwards.
Do you like TSO? - not really
Do you like JOP? - unfamiliar. I have the Dr. Butcher album, but nothing since. What is your favorite 'Tage ballad? - When The Crowds Are Gone |
