Criss Oliva (of Savatage) Fan Made Memorial Video



Uploaded by: PeterTheRanger
Video Description:
Criss Oliva, guitarist of Savatage, died tragically when a drunk driver, on their 7th DUI offense, crossed over and slammed into Criss' car, killing him instantly and wounding Criss' wife, Dawn (who also recently passed away). This is in memory of Criss Oliva, who in my mind and heart, lives on forever.

I plan on it and I am also glad to see JOP and CIIC are going to tour together again. Jon's current band is basically CIIC LOL. Amazing bands.

Indeed. However, I think both bands have now found their sound. JOP is rock solid. And I think CIIC's last album "Delusions of Granduer" really marks their own sound, and probably their best album, by far.

Absolutely, Jon is expounding on his Beatles influence and also recording Criss' lost material is just awesome. Zak sounds great and I can't wait to get "Delusions". Ordered it and awaiting its arrival. Peter, did you like Dr Butcher?

I did. For a bit of fun, loud, grindy noise metal. But it's not something I regularly listen to. Usually when I want some "angry music" I throw in Nevermore. :)

I couldn't agree more. I did a second one (as a video response to this one so it's easy to find). This one was one of the first videos I did.

Some things in life ... ( 1 month ago by metalmaniac41)
Some things in life just don't make any sense, how such a musical talent could be taken fom us so quickly. Chiss Oliva was an amazing guitarist, all the power and emotion in which he played was amazing, I really miss hearing him play, he has no equal. He inspired many young guitarists out there today, his skills were nothing short of amazing. He will always have a special place in music for ever. God Bless You Chriss Oliva!!

I will hold my wife and cry again... I have a son and always i talk about the great that i saw in my life. We miss you, Criss!!! Thanks God to give us the Oliva brothers.

thank u 4 the response,peter, I've been a fan of Chris Oliva and Savatage sinse I first heard Hall Of the Mountain King after that I was hooked.There r alot of great technical guitar players out there,when I first heard Chris I was like HOLY SHIT WHO IS THIS GUY?I haven't heard anyone play with so much power and emotion. He had a style all his own, one of my favorate solos is Gutter Ballet it almost makes u want to cry, he draws u in and doesn't let up.I truly do miss hearing him play.

I completely agree with you. I have had the good fortune of seeing them live, several times, while Criss was still with us. Amazing person, amazing talent - to be sure.

Hey! No need for apologies! The fact that you remember Criss and shared your words is good enough for me! I love to know he's still remembered and missed.
