Savatage and Trans-Siberian Orchestra guitarist Chris Caffery joins us for an exclusive interview and talks about his long history with these legendary bands. We also review Savatage’s Gutter Ballet and discuss the band’s transition from traditional metal to rock opera, gush over Criss Oliva’s guitar playing, ponder if Axl Rose ripped off Jon Oliva and if Savatage would’ve had more success if they were prettier, and Eric reveals his connection between the “Gutter Ballet” video and Conan the Destroyer. Half interview, half review, and 100% rock ‘n’ roll pageantry. If you love Savatage, this is a must listen episode!
