TSO is great to see live every few years, but not really all that worthwhile to listen to on record.

My roommate was talking about TSO and I had to show him some Testament.

If I have to listen to xmas music, I choose TSO.

Vince Guaraldi ftw

I'd rather classical music, tbh.

^^^^This.

Everyone should attend at least one TSO show, just for the festive experience.

I will at some point. I think what they do is great; I would just rather listen to other things.


They just played here a couple weeks ago; I elected not to go. I will sometime though.

This.

Not to mention it might change your view on the band as well seeing them live.

Personally they have not disappointed me yet with their performance and stage show.

They usually bust out a couple nice covers interspersed in their set, and while I've never seen this happen, guest musicians have appeared on stage with them and the crowd goes nuts for that.

I still love them on record, but their tickets are pretty cheap and you won't walk out of there feeling like you wasted your money.

I'm sure there much better live. They just seem like that type of band.

I hear they are surprisingly heavy live.

That's what my buddy told me a couple weeks ago.

They must be making crazy money in that band. Venues are just packed.

But they deserve it, they're all fantastic musicians who've put in their time elsewhere.

I would go see them but they never seem to leave North America.

Yeah, exactly. My buddy and I were just talking about a Savatage reunion, and came to the conclusion that TSO would have to stop selling tickets for Savatage to ever get together.

This is my Xmas musix:

Yeah, this year they did a CCR cover and The Lacrimosa and some bits and pieces of piano covers (Bach's Toccata and Fugue, Charlie Brown theme song etc)

I have never heard of the guest musicians coming on stage, but the musicians they have working on the tour already are high quality musicians already. And I have been lucky enough to see them twice so far with Alex Skolnick and Anna Phoebe.


I paid 56 dollars for my ticket this year, and it was well worth the money.

Supposedly, Clapton has made appearances at their shows, but I don't know how valid that claim is. Their short cover of Layla ([url]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=A1R3KSpIrqg[/url]) is pretty cool.

And yeah, I agree, TSO is full of more-than-simply-competent musicians. It's just cool for the starpower effect, I suppose.

I heard Mappy was a guest musician at one show and added sweet brees to all the carols.

I would have had to pay like $70 to see them which is the only reason I didn't go this year :(

I'll go soon though.

YESSSSSSSSSSS!!!!!! I'm finally home from work!!!!!!!! :angry:

The version that comes here has Al Pitrelli on guitar and his wife on keys.

Mr. Monkey V. Hillary Clinton. Who would win?

Yesterday I was feeling like ****. I drank a red bull and 2 minutes later that thing made me feel better.
