Dude. Are you feeling a little gay or something? :'( Real men don't listen to symphonies or the opera. My wife has been trying to drag me to an opera for years.

Its the brainchild of Jon Oliva, the original Savatage lead singer. TSO has grown into a MAJOR production over the last few years. It slpits into 2 touring companies (one for the Western states, one for the Eastern), and features current and former members of Savatage singing, playing guitar, etc, along with a full orchestra (even guys like Alex Skolnick, ex-Savatage and ex-Testament guitarist).

I had tickets 3 years ago, but my grandma died 2 days before and I had to scrap my plans. Still trying to catch them in concert. Not everyone's cup of tea, but I personally really like them. Their version of "Carol of the Bells" is just incredible.

And you can see the genesis of TSO in some of Savatage's albums, like "Streets: A Rock Opera", "Gutter Ballet", and "Dead Winter Dead".

And what's up I-One. How's it hangin? 8)
