Man, I haven't listened to Savatage since I was back in high school. I used to love "Gutter Ballet". I'll have to hear what Jon Oliva's newer stuff sounds like.
I really wish I could go to this! Looks like a great gig: Theocracy + Jon Oliva + White Wizzard (w/ Gremio) + Artizan are all bands I'd like to see. Sadly, I could only book one flight to Atlanta this fall and Anthrax (w/ Belladonna!) + Megadeth + Slayer (yuck, I'll sit that part out) won out.
Sorry, but Belladonna-fronted Anthrax was my favorite band in my formative years
Someday I will see Theocracy! Just not this day...
FYI, JOP cancelled. Crimson Glory is the new headliner, which necessitated moving the festival to November 6. I am a *huge* Crimson Glory fan and I wish I could see their first show with their new lead singer (who sounds fantastic).
