So very true, consider Bach as a teen with his toccata and fugue in d minor or as Bob said Wagner or Boëllmann's Toccata from Suite Gothique. Of course for the Bach and Boëllmann, you need a real heavy metal instrument, a pipe organ weighing several tons.
Knut Storerud, Savatage did this in 1987 , TSO was formed from Savatage. Paul o Neil produced this song in 1987 the same guy who is part co-founder of TSO.
seen these guys like 25 times. show keeps getting better and better. last year's was the first year I missed in like 13 years. I usually see them more then once a year. been pen pals with Dave z for years. awsome guys!!
@@tritontransport Yeah, I saw this particular presentation 2x in one day. Have seen TSO, total of 6x HOU and DET. You rule....for 19x...Thanx for the send.
@@MonMarkONE yeah I’ve been to more than one in the same year also. However the song posted by the OP is called “The Mountain” This is the Hall of the mountain king” right here ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-QdGD3Ukb3Q0.html sang by savatage which became TSO. There’s a song on the hall of the mountain king album called prelude to maddness which is very similar to the mountain
Original title : "In The Hall Of The Mountain King", composed by Edvard Grieg in 1875 to serve as incidental music for Scene 6 of Act 2 in Henrik Ibsen's 1867 play "Peer Gynt". Covered by : Savatage 1987, renamed "Prelude To Madness" (as an instrumental intro to their original song entitled "Hall Of The Mountain King") Covered by : Trans Siberian Orchestra 2009, renamed simply "The Mountain". EDIT : @tbagdaskavenger _"Trans Siberian orchestra and savatage are related bands as well."_ Uhm, DUH.. 😛 I kinda thought my comment conveyed that... or maybe not, haha. Still, anyone who knows of one will surely learn of the other. If it matters to anyone, Savatage was the original article, with TSO being "spun off" from the band out of a kind of odd necessity due to commercial radio prejudice. When Savatage pretty much packed it in (no more new albums) after 2001, Jon Oliva's Pain (JOP) came along and kind of filled that Savatage vacancy (since most of JOP's songs were leftover and unfinished works of Criss), and we had that for almost a decade (starting in 2004) before that too came to a conclusion in 2013. Of course Jon had other projects like Doctor Butcher and whatnot, but if you wanna know more about that, go ask Wiki or visit the Savatage website(s), haha.
It's crazy to actually Feel Chris Olivia in TSO, His Sound, Style, and Soul are Very Prevalent in all Savatage and TSO Scores since his passing... You KNOW when You are listening to Randy Rhoads, You KNOW when You are listening to Vivian Campbell, You Know when You are listening to Jeff Loomis, Eddie Van Halen, Yngwie Malmstien , or DIO, Judas Priest, Iron Maiden, Queensryche, Savatage, Sanctuary, Crimson Glory, Lizzy Borden, Etc.... They all have Very Distinct Styles as does Chris and Jon Oliva.... While Chris's Passing was Crushing and His Silence Deafening, He is still Very Much With Us..... Through Music that was born of him so long ago... Great Video ... I hope to see TSO one day... Sadly, I flew to Florida with a friend years ago... He was going to introduce me to Jon and Chris... the day we were going to go meet them , my friend got the call telling him that Chris was gone..... Savatage has always been one of My Number One Favorite and Most Inspiring Bands.. To Me they are as good as any other band and have an Honesty and Spirit that very few bands possess...
Some of the members of Savatage are now a part of TSO. Paul O' Neil who was behind Savatage along with Jon Olivia, founded TSO. Of course TSO's music is a lot like Savartage's music because it is a side project of Savatage and a lot of the people who were a part of Savatage are now a part of TSO. Just saying.
As a heads up a lot of the best TSO songs are Savatage songs! This is Prelude to Madness. Sarajevo 12/24 is from Dead Winter Dead!! 🤘🏽🤘🏽🤘🏽🤘🏽🤘🏽🤘🏽🤘🏽🤘🏽 RIP Criss Oliva!
I was hoping to hear, "Madness reigns, in the Hall... of The Mountain King" but it wasn't there. This is just the intro to that song. Prelude to Madness.
Its Prelude To Madness not Hall Of The Mountain king its based off hall of the mountain king but called Prelude To Madness and hall of the mountain king is a different song by them (them meaning savatage) i bet so many people have no clue what i just said
Thumbs up for the music but thumbs down for the wrong song title. This is Prelude to madness. It was the track that preceded, Hall of the Mountain king.
The only other band that would do this is KISS (but now that Gene Simmons and Paul Stanley are over 70 years old, it would be rare). There are only a handful of bands that have a light show of that scale but, for example David Gilmour, Roger Waters, Peter Gabriel or Paul McCartney would NEVER hover over a crowd strapped on a hydraulic crane 20 feet above the floor! That is what makes this show unique, really.
It looks like the band wanted the planning meeting to be over asap so they just said "Yeah, do all that stuff." Then later they realized what it was and were as blown away as the audience at this show.
David Z, the bassist for the East Group, has also passed on. He was tragically killed this past July in a horrific roadside accident in Florida while on tour with his other band, Adrenaline Mob. He was 38.
Puede por figure skating, twirly gymnastics, synchronized swimming, painting like at Kingsburg, recommended by Dr Diana Hallare (hall...tsib orchestra)
Savatage put on tuxes, start w/christmas music and sucker normies and old ppl into liking a Metal band. that would be funny, if not depriving the world of one of the greatest Metal bands ever.
@@f.f.woodycooks6907 Care to elaborate? Yes, this is an is an arrangement of Grieg's In the Hall of the Mountain King, but it was done with Savatage many years before TSO TSO doesn't even exist without Savatage and their creative collaboration with O'Neill to lay the goundwork. O'Neill was the producer for Savatage when they release Hall of the Mountain King, and he along with Oliva and later on Pitrelli, were the genesis for most of TSO early material, including this.
Hail of the mountain king? 🤔 nope that is called “the mountain” there’s prelude to madness which is similar to the mountain but this is Hall of the mountain king ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-hVqeZrSHN6w.html
I think it's equally hilarious that fans of hard rock go to these shows, not realizing that they are being treated to some of the most iconic pieces in classical music ever written.
This song is a TSO song not savatage. This was released in 2012 and is called “the mountain” although Prelude to madness is essentially the same almost
@@Prejet1982 yes hall of the mountain king is a savatage song as well as an album with the same title but the song in this video is not that song, not even close
@@Prejet1982 Actually TSO was founded by Paul O'Neil who recruited Jon and Al that was at the time still members in Savatage. TSO was formed 1996 while Savatage kept going until 2002.
@@tritontransport Because the original song is named In the hall of the mountain king. Savatage changed the name for their album and TSO made a cover of it again with a new name closer to the original. So if you want to argue details its neither an Savatage or TSO song.
This actually is "Prelude To Madness", precursor to 'Hall Of The Mountain King" on Savatage's HOTMK album . The confusion exists in the fact that this is part of the Peer Gynt Suite, written by Edvard Grieg and the original is called "In The Hall Of The Mountain King"...
@Dillon Ohlemiller It's just another version of what was done by Savatage in in 1987. ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-kRU-c0SBbyU.html I know people just hate to give an 80's metal band credit for a popular mainstream attraction like this, but TSO all started with O'Neill and Oliva back in the 80's. It became a huge thing that Jon Oliva (and later Pitrelli, who replaced the late Criss Oliva) had to decide whether or not to keep going with Savatage at all, or focus solely only on TSO.
Prelude to madness is what they called it on the album, but the classical piece is is based on is called Hall of The mountain King. So, basically, this is the metal version of Hall of The Mountain King. How's that for confusing.
Sadly this is what it has come to. Imagine my disappointment when this is compared to Savatage's metal epic "Hall of the Mountain King". I followed Savatage since the 80's and I didn't even drive across town to see this overdose of opera and lighting excess. To find any edge anymore I'd recommend Jon Oliva's group Pain.
It would have been so cool to see Jon Oliva walk out on stage. "Far away In a land caught between Time and space Where the books of life lay" \m/ ( - - ) \m/
Criss and Jon...Thirsty whale 1986ish. Best lead and fill at the same time. Sounded just like the produced album. Never forget the magic of this unique powerful sound.
Deceiving title....tis Prelude to Madness (the track before HOTMK) on Hall of the Mountain King....was thinking Jon Oliva might have stepped out to sing HOTMK..
