Yes, indeed. Me as a mere mortal am 20 years older too but I am 40. I put on 10 kilo and feel overweight. I cannot sing like when I was 20. Because I am old and overweight. JON OLIVA is something else.
That’s bad ass when most singers are eating french fries and worried about their voice John’s busting it out with a Sigg in his hand! Long live savatage
Wtf he's hittin those high notes so effortlessly. I thought he wasn't even gonna attempt them, let alone hit them, let alone hit them so effortlessly with such good control and tone.
@@yeahsure8323 - Agreed🥺. He’s a grown man and he can and will do whatever he wants to with his life. But as a fan of over 35 years I can’t help but hope that he would start caring about himself. Behind all that talent is a human being and I’m amazed and glad he still has his range in spite of the cigarettes etc. Long Live Jon Oliva - one of so few of the Great 80’s-era Metal Masters🎤🤘🏼
His voice is still incredible after all those years and I always think about Jon Oliva as a true heroic Metal vocalist and he has always looked like one as well.I really Like this guy and I hope all the best for him in the future.
Джон невероятен. Познакомился с Savatage десятилетия назад и тогда и сейчас не понимаю, неужели серьезные музыкальные критики не понимают что Джон - это и есть рок-музыка в чистом виде. Не говоря уже о том что такого уровня вокалистов в рок-музыке за всю историю можно пересчитать по пальцам. Уже сейчас о Джоне должны фильмы снимать и приглашать хэдлайнить на практически любом концерте - мы сами просто не осознаем уровень этого парня.
Oh my god... this performance is so tight, it makes me question my existence. The band and especially Jon sound absolutely incredible here, and he makes it look so easy. That man has some serious pipes and energy. And he does what?! He smokes?! His voice must be made of the hardest steel/metal there IS out there...
I don't here a faltsetto here, seems like it is a chest voice. He is great. He said that he took singing lessons when he start to work with TSO. Probably we hear here the result of it.
Watching this gave me chills.To see Jon still singing Hall Of The Mountain King today , made me feel young again.Jon sounds awesome. He will forever be the true voice of Savatage !!!! I'm so glad I got to see the Hall Of The Mountain King Tour live back in the day.Long live Savatage and RIP 🙏 Criss Olivia
All the big metal voices from the 80's are showing,and sounding their age now, no-body sounds the exactly same...Bruce, Rob, Geoff, Axl,...but Jon's voice seems strangely unchanged. He's super charming nice if you ever get to meet him,very polite.
That was pretty awesome . Miss both Olivia's. Miss Zachary , Miss Mr Caffery. . Please come back Savatage. Mr plate or Doc Johnny Lee. No more Tso . Savatage please. Mr Patrelli.
Unfortunately not since it seems to be the late great Matt LaPorte channelling marvelously Criss' guitar wizardry. It must be truly devastating for Jon to lose all three main musical partners. Criss, Matt and Paul, gone but not forgotten. Hope that Jon is O.K. There has been a total lack of any news of him.
Yeah, I know he did City Beneath the Surface with Obituary in 2016. It was at Florida Death Fest or something like that. Didn't know about the cruise though. But then around April the same year he suffered a stroke. He didn't say it was a really bad one but needed some rehabilitation though. And some radical changes in his lifestyle. From what I know he was working on a double record at the time(under the Oliva name I guess). But that's about it. Haven't really heard anything since. I truly hope he's doing better.
@@hevihoo - I was thinking to myself, “if he doesn’t quit that damn smoking and lose a coupla lb’s he’s gonna have a STROKE😧!” Then I read a post from 2-years in the past that he already had and that he’s been probably in shutdown mode. Don’t know if you get alerts but was wondering if you heard anything new??
I just got connected with a Savatage tribute band here in Fort Myers Florida...I have been a fan since 87 and couldn't believe someone who knew your band was interested around here in this...im thrilled. Hope it works out and you sound just as good as ever Jon...great music!
Me and my dude Mike hay love you guys and Play your songs 🎵 I have a degree in music from 86-87 in Hollywood California and met Eddie Van Halen at his music store on sunset srip from Pasadena
Because his brother, the guitarist for Savatage died in the early 90s. This isn't Savatage. I kind of wish they'd continued after Criss died but I get it also. I don't get why they aren't more legendary though.
Still got the voice - no doubt about that. Too much echo here but he's got the goods. How many metal singers can still deliver the goods decades after they recorded a song? (Dio could do it). Also, great guitar work here too.

Jon....dude....seriously ? That voice is as AWESOME as ever !
So is his gut!! Sheesh!
@@jeffreyhaley991 Thanks for stating the obvious, Mr. Mensa. You enjoy commenting on men's physiques, you must take it up the ass.
@@jeffreyhaley991 Wish he would take better care of himself = sad
Soooo true.. Amazing voice!
@@cnrjrdepression
He puts on 50kg, he gets 20 years older, and smokes while he sings. Oh us mere mortals......
Indeed!
Yes, indeed. Me as a mere mortal am 20 years older too but I am 40. I put on 10 kilo and feel overweight. I cannot sing like when I was 20. Because I am old and overweight. JON OLIVA is something else.
And still kills it❤
That’s bad ass when most singers are eating french fries and worried about their voice John’s busting it out with a Sigg in his hand! Long live savatage
Elvis may have been the King, but Jon Oliva is the MOUNTAIN KING!
That title might belong to Criss Oliva
@@pavblankenstein5381 - He left it to Jon in his will🤘🏼
I agree 100% Long live the Mountain King Jon Olivia
Wtf he's hittin those high notes so effortlessly. I thought he wasn't even gonna attempt them, let alone hit them, let alone hit them so effortlessly with such good control and tone.
While he smoking a cigarette too
he made king diamond cringe!!
That's the difference between a good singer and someone like Vince Neil lmao
He admitted, since he stopped drinking range has improved
Jon is a living legend!
If he keeps smoking like that he won’t be for long
@@yeahsure8323 - Agreed🥺. He’s a grown man and he can and will do whatever he wants to with his life. But as a fan of over 35 years I can’t help but hope that he would start caring about himself.

Long Live Jon Oliva - one of so few of the Great 80’s-era Metal Masters🎤🤘🏼
King of the dirt bags😅
In his own mind😂
@@tamparockswtf???
Jon's voice is still GOLDEN! All while smoking a cigarette while singing too lol. 🤘
Man, this is better than the records
His voice is still incredible after all those years and I always think about Jon Oliva as a true heroic Metal vocalist and he has always looked like one as well.I really Like this guy and I hope all the best for him in the future.
Man, Vocals are still spot on, Incredible!

What iconic voice
This voice will ever be remembered....
Like Ozzy, Ronnie JD, James LaBrie, Goeff Tate and man....because!!!
Jon is the Mountain King and the voice of metal! Man, the guy has some amazing pipes!!
His voice is immortal
Oh my god... this performance is so tight, it makes me question my existence.
The band and especially Jon sound absolutely incredible here, and he makes it look so easy. That man has some serious pipes and energy.
And he does what?! He smokes?! His voice must be made of the hardest steel/metal there IS out there...
i feel you. ive been playing for ...my whole life...and I still suck.
I know, and there are singers who are super healthy, yet don't have a fraction of their voice anymore. Jon is amazing!
Iridium/osmium alloy
He even sings better than in his young years! That is insane!
Hail to the mountain king himself Jon Oliva
A very underrated Vocalist. A very top Singer. Pure falsetto.
I don't here a faltsetto here, seems like it is a chest voice. He is great. He said that he took singing lessons when he start to work with TSO. Probably we hear here the result of it.
Excellent!!!!....savatage is only savatage with the great john oliva!!!!
100% agree 👍👍👍
for me he's one of the best metal singer of the 80's , very interesting and personal style voice...a bit like David DeFeis of Virgin steele....
indeed, both pretty personal composers, Jon loose his bro, Criss, but Mr. DeFeis and Mr. Jack Starr beside did simply magick
Correction - one of the best metal singers of all time. :)
Well, he's extremely technical adept. So no.
Ne....the best. Right there with David Byron.
@@Steele_Hard....yeah you're right about that....
What a performance!
Jon is the the Mountain King l always enjoy everything he contributes to the Music World.😮Thanks Jon.😊
Love it... he smokin' the whole time. Jeesh, what a voice and what a RANGE!!!!
I saw him live amyears ago, and he still has a great voice, still has that pitch perfectly fine! Such a great performance!
Long live the mountain king. 2020
Oliva the man!!!! That man have the best fucking voice ever!!!
Watching this gave me chills.To see Jon still singing Hall Of The Mountain King today , made me feel young again.Jon sounds awesome. He will forever be the true voice of Savatage !!!! I'm so glad I got to see the Hall Of The Mountain King Tour live back in the day.Long live Savatage and RIP 🙏 Criss Olivia
What a presence!! Jon is so cool. Blasting it.
Happy Birthday Jon Oliva 7/22/2020
Can't believe he can still sing like that. Made me smile for first time in a LONGGG TIME./
So fun to watch this big boy with his big voice.
Oh...he still can sing it
The voice of Savage! He sounds amazing!! Criss is in my top 3 list of favorite guitarists of all time...💚🎸
Jon and the band just slay on this one
Great vocalist…. Great band… Savatage🍺🤘
I love love and admire Bruce Dickinson, Rob Halford, Timo Kotipelto, Eric Adams but Jon is from another world!
Also in the Avatar group , Jon and his *amazing* voice ! ..... Still after *more* than 35 years !
All the big metal voices from the 80's are showing,and sounding their age now, no-body sounds the exactly same...Bruce, Rob, Geoff, Axl,...but Jon's voice seems strangely unchanged. He's super charming nice if you ever get to meet him,very polite.

Get it Jon! Such a badass!
Still Killing it!!!! Note for Note!!
Killed it. All 30 something of the “ ahh “. Killer singer
Jon has more drive in voice even then in 80's... How could be this possible?
the one and the only Mountain King .. Jon Oliva
Fuck yeah, belting it out and puffin a smoke....TRUELY A METAL GOD
Savatage never got the credit for the genius a totally underrated fantastic band with a powerhouse vocalist
Jon Oliva melhor cantor e compositor do Sabatage!!!!
Is this recent? Sounds like an absolute god, just the same as he's always been.
Unfortunately not since it seems to be the late great Matt LaPorte channelling marvelously Criss' guitar wizardry. It must be truly devastating for Jon to lose all three main musical partners. Criss, Matt and Paul, gone but not forgotten. Hope that Jon is O.K. There has been a total lack of any news of him.
@@hevihoo What a bummer, i knew he played with some death metal bands on that metal cruise thing a year or 2 ago

That was bad ass even while he smoked a stoge!!!
He’s gotta stay alive and stop smoking keep that treasure of a voice Jon
Let this MoFo do what he wants... His voice aged like fine wine and he smokes... He knows how to take care of his voice
No bullshit auto tune or vocal enhancements except for some reverb!
Legend!
i loved the video of this song
Underrated singer
this concert is in 2005.....
Me and my dude Mike hay love you guys and Play your songs 🎵 I have a degree in music from 86-87 in Hollywood California and met Eddie Van Halen at his music store on sunset srip from Pasadena
I feel like he would be the dm of tue scarriest game of dnd ever.
What a voice !
WOW! Jon!!!
Wow his voice is absolutely amazing I don't get it why this band isn't A worldwide success. People are tone deaf if you can't hear IT 🤔🤩🤩🤩🤩
They are a success, as THE TRANSIBERIAN ORCHESTRA
@@davidgardiner4620 is he w trans Siberian orchestra on tour? I never see him
@@JAMES-dv5ns he was in the begining, not sure if he still is
Because his brother, the guitarist for Savatage died in the early 90s. This isn't Savatage. I kind of wish they'd continued after Criss died but I get it also. I don't get why they aren't more legendary though.
@@Terminxman me too man
Fucking A man Jon still kicking ass on this tune!!!!!!!
Fucking Goosebumps. Jon is awesome. What a hero.
Top notch!
He's like a metal version of John Popper.
insane vocals
god, john oliva can sing. wow
El mejor
SOLID
when was it??????love his voice.....
One of the best musicians to EVER come outta FLA. That cigarette tho.... come on now.... Time to QUIT
This guy isnt bad. Savatage would be proud! .,.
I'm able to watch just 10 seconds of the video now. What is this sorcery??
LENGENED
Oh que ça devait être bon comme show.
Still got the voice - no doubt about that. Too much echo here but he's got the goods. How many metal singers can still deliver the goods decades after they recorded a song? (Dio could do it). Also, great guitar work here too.
Aww Matt Laporte🤘🥹🎸
Matt Laporte playing guitar RIP Criss RIP also
I’ve never heard a voice to match his in hard rock.
Madness Reigns 🤘🏻
Rainer Landfermann o melhor , nada substitui, um vocal que lembra almas agonizando nas labaredas eternas do inferno.
Whoah man
