Top 10 Songs on Savatage's Edge of Thorns

Edge of Thorns is the 7th album by Savatage, released in 1993.
This album was more guitar-driven than its predecessor (Streets: A Rock Opera).
This was good because Edge of Thorns was the last album to feature guitarist Criss Oliva before his tragic death only several months later. Criss died at 30 in 1993 in a car accident caused by a drunk driver. R.I.P. Criss.

It was also their first album to feature Zachary 'Zak' Stevens on lead vocals because the previous lead singer, Jon Oliva, focused on other things.

Savatage are an American metal band founded in 1979 by brothers Jon and Criss Oliva.
Subgenres - heavy metal, progressive metal (late), speed metal (early), power metal.

Not a bad song but sounds a bit poppy/cheesy at times. Power metal band Powerwolf covered it.

This song has to be the Savatage version of Rock N Roll. It's very good.
