Savatage - Jesus Saves (Official Music Video) 

Streets is the best album ever created....And Savatage the best band ever...

Criss Oliva was already one of the best guitarist in the business at this time and he was still getting better, imagine where he could be and how he could play today if that motherfucking drunk didn't take his life?

Criss Oliva had the best riffs.

The one band I really wished I had gotten to see live.

Criss still makes an impact on my life even after all this time....hammerjacks and all.....he was an amazing soul...and as a current in transition guitar player...i wonder what it could have been.....god bless him and his family...cause even after all these years some of us mourn him still.

Одна из самых лучших культовых групп хэви метал. обожаю их, можно слушать бесконечно.

These brothers were insane with their musicality. I am completely impressed 😮

Man Savatage has some of the most kick-ass songs I've ever heard

John Oliva - one of the *Amazing* & *BEST* singers of Heavy Metal music of all time !

still one of the best guitar tones I've ever heard :)

Never heard this band...ROCKS! :)

Streets is a musical masterpice 😺😺😺

The entire album is a rock opera, with a drug dealer turned rock star named Jesus, he's the protagonist in the story.

And now we have billie eilish.

savatage.........probably the best metal band ever.

Jesus realy saves!!!! But this song is very melodical and great! :))))

Still one of the BEST songs, EVER written.

I will ALWAYS love Criss! Savatage rox!

Jon Oliva actually plays drums on this track! Wow, they sound incredible and also his voice is godly!

Brilliant song and … WHAT A VOICE !!!

RIP Criss... miss you...

Savatage was the best!! Okay, I'm a little biased because I'm a Florida guy and I followed them since their days as Avatar. Criss absolutely kicks ass! Notice I said "kicks" instead of "kicked". Because his guitar screams from beyond.

When I came Tampa after high school to be a rockstar, the first live show I saw was Savatage and Nasty Savage at the Fairgrounds Expo Hall. NS was typically brutal, but I remember Savatage totally kicking my 19 year old ass around the room. They had just released "Power of the Night," and it was arguably their peak. When I joined the Army a few years later I took "Hall of the Mountain King" and "Power of the Night" with me to basic, bragging them up to everyone. I probably saw them another four or five times before Criss died at Livestock4. I was there, watching Saigon Kick and Anthrax the night he died. During a scheduled appearance the following night on 98Rock, my band Teer and I eulogized Criss and shared Savatage memories, instead of pimping our song. They were the best band ever from Tampa, and he was an elite guitarist.

Brilliant song by a brilliant band. It is a shame that they did not get as much recognition as they should have.

Jeeeeesus Christ !!!! like literallyyyy!!! :)

Savatage rules for sure😎☝️the BEST solo guitars,,,for the almigty Cris oliva (R.I.P) but nota forgotten,,,,voice Mr John oliva🔥🔥🔥🔥

this is pure energy for my soul!!!

Rest In Peace, Criss.

Paul O'Neill saves !!! R.I.P. man .

from Italy to the States 🇮🇹 Oliva in our ❤️

Unbelievable

Im the only one who hear nuno bettencourt phrasing here and there? The song sometimes it reminds me something from pornograffiti…

Gutter Ballet, Streets and Edge of Thorns are simply MASTERPIECES...Savatage is an awesome band, Johh is an amazing voice, Criss(RIP) still is a great guitarist and its pity that this band didnt get the recognition that deserves....ofcourse i do not forget Hall of the mountain king as a great moment of the band.....

Are you fucking kidding me? God damn this is good. Intended

Perfect song..getar is stunning 🎸🇬🇧🎸🇬🇧🎸🇬🇧🤘🤘🤘..second solo blows my kin mind♡♡♡♡♡

Saw TSO a few nights ago..man you can hear it in this song

Make America Great Again

It is not from the album Gutter Ballet. It is from Streets ( a rock opera)!

I agree ! Wow I had privilege of sharing the stage with them in Dallas and without a doubt, nothing but professionals. The sound guy was also very talented .. I told him,it was a sat night, (hectic),, that was the best sound we have have ever had, super tight.

I know its not about Jesus Christ, but when I hear this song, and believe I can't help but to picture Jesus in bad ass leather vest rocking out to some metal! I love Metal. I hope it never dies.

Man Johnny laid down an absolute monster bass line on this one

wicked crazy awesome and epic. fucking metal as it should be!!!

Criss was an alien .a Master. A guitar god R.I.P CRISS OLIVA

The Epitome of a great heavy metal band. So many 10/10 albums... Those guys had the magic touch

YOU PRAISE HIS NAME!!!!!!SAVATAGE ROCKS!

Kick ASS. The whole album needs to be listened to, from start to finish, to really get it all. Amazing.

Being in the area Tampa have got to see then so so many times live! Criss one the most underated guitarist!

Wow!!

🤘🏼🤘🏼🤘🏼🤘🏼🤘🏼🤘🏼🤘🏼🤘🏼

@MessyPaint Savatage are not a thrash metal band by any means! They are more a power/progressive metal band with a very unique sound...

This band has influenced me more than any other! Chris made the guitar speak to your soul! RIP

Kicks total fucking ass !!!!

The solo is impossibly radd

Great Band To See Live.. TRANS-SIBERIAN ORCHESTRA Is The Evolution Of Savatage... 🤘Greatest Concert On Earth🤘

Wish music like this would make a come back. Amazing

BADASS 🤘😲

@tgauden23 Cmon, if Criss was still alive we all know there would probably be no TSO, Savatage would have still kept going strong.

I hate it when most people think that being a Heavy Metal Head or getting to be a HEAVY METAL ROCKSTAR is easy. Their 100% WRONG on that. It takes Guts, Talent and a Positive Attitude. It's not Easy At All. I became a Metal Head because i inherited from my dad. Who used to play in a band in the early 80's but because because of his negativity he didn't make it through the hard test. And eventually negative rough life comes next.

Jesus was a talker Out of place New Yorker Hung out on the boulevard Sellin' nickel candies Saving all his quarters Bought himself a cheap guitar Started playing' bars The kids came in their cars You'd hear them shouting at the stage Jesus saves Jesus saves Jesus started changin' Things got really strange He saw his tee shirts everywhere Started missing shows The band came down to blows But Jesus He no longer cared Things got out of hand And so he quit the band But still the critics they would rave Jesus saves Jesus saves Her him cut through the night On your late night radio waves So the dice were cast Today became the past And Jesus He just disappeared Headed for New York Or so his label thought And there he gave away the years Last seen drinking wine Beneath a flashing sign Promising salvation to strays Jesus saves Jesus saves Her Him cut through the night On your late night radio waves

how can somebody talk like this about Chriss Oliva !!! RIP Savatage blasphemer? ASK THEM ! One of the best bands ever, very underrated. They look to me sincere, all of us have questions with no answer ... all of us have moments of anger, the bad things always happen, it is ok to be obsessed but there are so many good things also ...

Criss had just left my house and was on his way back to the bubba live stock when he was taken from us by that ass driving drunk. That;s me (the girl) in the beginging of the video and my ol'man riding his bike. We had a fricking awesome time making this video.

Damn, i loved this song when i was 14

WHY SAVATAGE DIDN'T GET THE RECOGNITION THEY DESERVED? MAYBE IF THEY WEREN'T TAGGED AS A METAL GROUP, THEY WOULD HAVE DIFFERENT CHANCES...

@ThePsionictemple I am with you on this one!

Amazing! I think that modern Christians should look like these guys. :)))

R.I.P. Criss Still have great sound.

May we seek God more and more. May we take the gospel of salvation to as many people as we can while we can. Let us be light and salt in this world of darkness. Jesus is coming back. It will be faster than many think. May God bless everyone who read this comment. But seek first the kingdom of God and his righteousness, and all these things will be added to you. Matthew 6:33 And we know that all things work together for good to those who love God, to those who are called according to his purpose. Romans 8:28 WHO STILL HAS NOT ACCEPTED JESUS ​​AS THEIR ONLY AND SUFFICIENT SAVIOR. THIS IS THE BEST CHOICE YOU CAN MAKE IN YOUR LIFE. DO NOT WASTE TIME. RECOGNIZE THAT YOU ARE A GREAT SINNER AND THAT YOU DO NOT DESERVE SALVATION. BUT THAT JESUS ​​DIED ON THE CROSS TO SAVE US. BE WITH AN OPEN HEART TO FORGIVE EVERYONE WHO DID YOU BAD. ASK GOD FOR FORGIVENESS FOR YOUR SINS. RECOGNIZE AND ACCEPT JESUS ​​AS YOUR ONLY AND SUFFICIENT SAVIOR. ASK FOR A NEW LIFE IN CHRIST. AND MAY YOUR LIFE (EVERY DECISION AND YOUR WAYS) BE GUIDED NOT BY YOUR OWN UNDERSTANDING. BUT BE GUIDED BY THE HOLY SPIRIT. AMEN. For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life. John 3:16 He who believes in the Son has eternal life; but he who does not believe in the Son will not see life, but the wrath of God remains on him. John 3:36 And you will know the truth, and the truth will set you free. John 8:32 Jesus said to him, I am the way, and the truth and the life; no one comes to the Father except through me. John 14:6 For by grace are ye saved through faith; and that not of yourselves, it is the gift of God. Not of works, lest anyone should boast; Ephesians 2:8,9 Namely: If you confess with your mouth the Lord Jesus, and believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead, you will be saved. Romans 10:9 Jesus answered and said to him, Truly, truly, I say to you, unless one is born again, he cannot see the kingdom of God. John 3:3

That Guitar pick slide on the string I've always loved in Savatage Songs Criss was Amazing! 🤘🤘

Savatage is a monster of Metal.Such Oliva as Zak Stevens are excelent vocalists.Up the Metal!

One of the best metal songs of ever.

🤟🍺

JESUS SAVES!!!

I lov Savatage , hav play of their songs , kick fukkin ass

I went to the benefit concert they had after he died and man that was a sad sight cause John was wearing sunglasses at night cause im sure he was crying but he still rocked on

They couldn’t find a bigger drum?!

I'm glad I got to see them on the Gutter Ballet tour, up close and personal in San Antonio. Doc on Drums, Criss and Chris on guitar, Johnny on bass, and Jon on evil glares and wails.

I am similar to what Dt. Jesus was because he started out as a drug dealer. And he turned into a ROCKSTAR . But before i turned into a heavy metal Head i was a thug on the streets. And from there i got into the heavy metal life but after years passed by and i started being in a band . My life started getting messed up i was the one that ended up falling in the negative cracks of life. So i stopped beleiving in myself and ended up in the wrong paths as a METALHEAD

yes he dose save alright

And paid $400 for tickets to see them live I would have paid five thousand but they didn't want that much

i was watching this and 2 mormon dudes showed up at my door to tell me that jesus rally does save. LOL.

great song :) Savatage is awesome!!

actually its historicslly proven he existed...

Chris was beyond for the time

I love the drum kit design!!

why is so much of the actual song cut out? they did full vids for gutter ballet and when the crowds are gone, which this is shorter than, even with the spoken intro

This song dominates. RIP, Criss.

Was on the streets lp not gutter

@EireneWolf It sooooo sucks that he died only a year after I was born. Very few people in my generation appreciate musical geniuses like Criss. What I wouldn't do to see Savatage play live with Criss in the band...and to see Dio live just once.

his full name is D.T. Jesus. if everyone would listen to the lyrics, it's really easy to figure out what it's about... but i guess nobody does that anymore...

One of metals best kept secrets!!!!! Brilliant fucking shit!!!! ---WHAT?! JESUS SAVES!

That was the first song i listened to when i was a little boy. Time passes by like wow.

Saw them at Wacken in 2015

Que vozzzzz.... nada mais a ser dito

Actually, this is where Paul O'Niel started to really influence the bands direction and if you listen to the album you can see it's progression of thought and how it parallels to Jesus Christ and the Christian God. In fact, all their albums later, including TSO have these same VERY STRONG parallels. This song was the second song on the album and was used to build up the theme of God throughout. Especially tracks like St Patrick's, Somewhere in Time and Believe.

Savatage Saves!

What's injustice? Savatage not being the greatest band!

This is an AWESOME song. Thanks for uploading.

Saw Savatage in 87/88 at a little club just northwest of Tampa called the Rocket Club. The tour was for the Hall of the Mountain King album. I learned about Savatage by watching a local music video channel called V32. They played videos for the title track and my favorite song on that album, 24 Hours Ago. Chris Oliva is definitely one of my favorite guitar players. Excellent band!

2:22 OMGGGGGGGGG WHAT A SOLO OMG

wish i had doc killdrums set :-)
