<font size="4" face="Arial">Oliva's not with 'em anymore. They're playing LaCrosse Dec. 1. I was seriously planning to go until I found out tickets are $31-$41, not to mention I'd have to skip part of my sociology class. Heh, don't get me wrong, I'm sure it's a good show, but unless I win tix off the radio, hell if I'm spending that much on one band, especially at the LaCrosse Center. That venue SUCKS.

I have their new one at home, haven't listened to it yet and there is a pretty good chance i won't listen to it. if i tell her i have it or if she sees it laying around THEN i will listen to it, if you know what i mean.

I love TSO, but that's just me. I'm also a huge Savatage fan, so I got into them from that direction.

I don't have the new disc, but I plan on getting it soon. I've also seen them live on a few occasions, and it's great. It's weird, because it's the ONLY show I've gone to that I can see taking my mom to (ok, scratch that..I've been to a couple of country shows with her, but you get the idea...).

I haven't decided whether or not I'll see them live again this year. Going to their shows is always a trip, because you have about half of the audience being the "soccer mom" crowd, and the other half being the longhair Savatage fans. It's cool to see such a diverse group of people in one place enjoying the same thing.

Again, that's because of the marketing of them as a heavier MS.
