Another fantastic guitarist that died way before his time. Some of his work is brilliant!

Somebody let me hear once a Tribute to Chris cd, it was a Savatage concert with Chris still there. Great stuff!
Is there any Savatage DVD stuff you would recommend featuring Chris Olivia?

I LOVED SAVATAGE BACK IN THE DAY AND STILL DO!!!! Oliva was a fucking genius!!! BEFORE HIS TIME. If you want to post something post this for me.....the video for Hall of the Mountain King. THAT IS MY ALLTIME FAVORITE METAL VIDEO right next to Crazy Train. That song kicks ass and those riffs....those riffs are KILLER!!!! He played with such passion and it really grabbed ahold of me like the first time I heard Randy. He and Alex Skolnick were 2 of my favorites from that time era....R.I.P. C.O.
P.S.
I believe that is the first video ED ROMAN appears in!!

Another proof that Alex rules
He did thrash-metal with Testament

He did, what I'd like to call progressive rock/metal, with Savatage

He did heavymetal with Ozzy
(only 1 gig, but still
)
... and now he has moved onto jazz and playing with TSO from time to time
