what are these big productions you keep mentioning about savatage? they barely made enough money to even stay on the road, lol.
i remember paul saying somewhere, and i wish i could remember where, maybe an early tv appearance, (its been a long time so im waaay paraphrasing here): he wanted to combine music so strong it didnt need words, and words so beautiful they didnt need music. and that really shows in the first 4 albums. then the big show took over. he really needs to go back to that and forget about the lasers so bright you dont need a band.
for me, while i like some stuff on night castle, it in no way has the same magic as the first 4 albums. you can really tell when the focus shifted from the music to the "show".
and ill speak as a musician on this part, sure everyone loves to get up on the biggest stage possible sometime in their life. but most musicians will tell you those shows go by in a blur. the best memories and the shows they remember are usually the small ones where you really connect with the crowd. ive heard this from many musicians.
