	Savatage - Streets: A Rock Opera
		This is the task I undertook when I decided to write a review on Savatage's 1991 album Streets: A Rock Opera.
		It is easily on par with true progressive metal's other two rock opera masterpieces, Queensryche's Operation: Mindcrime and Eternity X's The Edge.
		Streets is a concept album which focuses on a former rock star who has hit hard times.

	SAVATAGE Streets - A Rock Opera reviews and MP3
		After all this is a rock opera in the true sense of the word.
		This album truly deserves the name "rock opera" but not any stigma that might normally be attached to such a title.
		It could be back to a reason (as a later Savatage song on another rock opera states), back to a meaning, back to life, back to innocence.

	METALEATER.COM - Album Reviews - Avantasia - The Metal Opera
		Although the "Streets" booklet modestly says "A Rock Opera", while the slipcase of “Into the Electric Castle” reads "A Space Opera", Tobias Sammet made a bold statement in 2001 by dubbing his solo project, "The Metal Opera", implying that his AVANTASIA discs are the definitive combination of heavy metal might and operatic bombast.
		If Tobias tries another opera, I hope the story is better written, that there is more variety in the vocals, and that the singers are more adventurous with their characters.
		This review is for "The Metal Opera: Part 1" only, so let me start off with a typical disclaimer: this is by no means a bad album.

	History of the Detroit Opera House
		Previous venues intended for staging opera in Detroit included a "Detroit Opera House" from 1869-1963 at Kennedy Square; "Whitney Grand Opera House" (renamed Garrick Theater) located on Griswold and Michigan avenues; and the "New Detroit Opera House" from 1886-1928 located at Randolph and Monroe streets.
		The theater would be tragically neglected for three years, until the nomadic Michigan Opera Theatre met its destiny.
		From 1981 to 1985, the theater ran intermittently presenting diverse entertainment, from such mainstream artists as Ray Charles and Roy Orbison, to an alternative rock series entitled "Grand Circus Live." The 1922 palace closed its doors for the last time in November of 1985, after a small fire.

		Rock festivals had their origin in the jazz festivals held in Newport, Rhode Island, and in Monterey, California, in the 1950s.

	Ziggy's Video Realm: Diane Lane in Streets of Fire (1984)
		The rock score is the work of the legendary Ry Cooder, and the songs on the soundtrack are a mix of artists whose ranges go from Wagnerian Rock Opera to 80s electronica to rockabilly.
		Diane Lane is definitely a highlight here, easily believable as Ellen Aim, the sexy rock ‘n’ roll up-and-comer who doesn’t necessarily have all the rights answers for herself, but knows at least that she’s damn good on the stage and that she looks drop-dead gorgeous in that dress.
		(Translated): Sexy up-and-coming rock and roll singer Ellen Aim ( Diane Lane, Judge Dredd) has come back home to the Richmond to do a benefit concert for the hometown fans, much to the chagrin of her manager and current boyfriend, Billy Fish ( Rick Moranis, Ghostbusters).

	Best Concept Album? - ateaseweb.com radiohead message board
		A concept album is different from a "rock opera." The new Streets album counts as a rock (or, uh, "UK garage") opera.
		By this measure Kid A and Amnesiac and HTTT are not concept albums, because their messages are too varied, and The Bends isn't, because since most albums deal w/ relationships and personal feelings, it has been arbitrarily decided that such topics extended over a cycle of songs still do not a concept album make.
		I'm never really sure what classifies as a "concept album" When I first heard the term I assumed it meant an album with a coherent theme, or message in which the order or the songs and everything is just as important as the individual songs.

		They will achieve their best a little bit later with "Streets: A Rock Opera", but "Sirens" is for sure a wery good work and you wouldn't be disappointed by listening and buying it.
		I've been a Savatage fan for around three years now, mostly listening to their rock operas.
		Savatage should be regarded as one of the greatest metal bands of our time up there with Motorhead, Metallica, Megadeth, Anthrax, Slayer, Judas Priest, and Sepultura.

		Randolph describes where he grew up as "rough enough." Coming from New Jersey's streets, Randolph and his band mates lay down gospel-laced funk-rock that captivates even the most fickle and musically disinterested listeners.
		The Family Band consists of a funky, forceful bassist, an opera-rock organist and a soulful drummer.
		Randolph would be the first to admit, and often does admit, that he and most of his band mates look like stereotypical rappers.

		Although the "Streets" booklet modestly says "A Rock Opera", while the slipcase of “Into the Electric Castle” reads "A Space Opera", Tobias Sammet made a bold statement in 2001 by dubbing his solo project, "The Metal Opera", implying that his AVANTASIA discs are the definitive combination of heavy metal might and operatic bombast.
		The only thing that makes AVANTASIA an "opera" is the number of singers--ten!--and the vocal roster includes the who's who of power metal: Tobias Sammet, Kai Hansen, Andre Matos, Rob Rock, David DeFeis, and more.
		AVANTASIA's "The Metal Opera" is a concept album, but getting into the story takes more patience than I can muster.

	SAVATAGE Streets - A Rock Opera reviews and MP3
		Savatage was a straight US power metal band in the eighties, but after the release of the "Hall of the Mountain King" album, they started to change their style and with the helping hand of Paul O'Neill, it turned to a more melodic and musical-influented heavy/power/progressive metal band.
		John and Chris Oliva were the heart and soul of Savatage and although later albums with different bandmembers were good in their own rights, this was the epitome of Savatage's brand of music.
		Unusual for Savatage, this is a short, calm song with the piano in the main role.

	Savatage:The Wake of Magellan/Ghost in the Ruin's/Poets and Madmen
		The focus here is on the Savatage that once was-the one that first saw the light of day with their first release "The Dungeons are Calling" from '83, hit the big time with '87's pinnacle "Hall of the Mountain King," and broke new ground with the highly regarded rock opera "Streets" in 1990.
		Savatage put so much feeling into their music, whether it's a single piano playing or full on hands to the metal, there's so much energy, atmosphere, and sometimes breathtaking.
		How SAVATAGE could manage to pull such an incredibly brilliant disc out of a heaping pile of adversity is beyond me but whatever the formula, whatever the cost it was worth it all and in spades.

	RevelationZ Magazine - Album Review - Savatage - Streets - A Rock Opera
		To me, "Streets" is their best album, and the truest representation of what they are all about as a band.
		Some extra songs from the Streets recording sessions have popped up on various Savatage releases as bonus tracks and on the Internet (Desiree, Stay and Larry Elbow).
		Savatage is the greatest, Criss Oliva is still to this day the greatest guitar player ever.
