Indeed!

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

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

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

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. 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🎤🤘🏼

King of the dirt bags😅

In his own mind😂

​@@tamparockswtf???

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

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....

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.

100% agree 👍👍👍

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.

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

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 same man, cant handle losing all of savatage this early

@@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??

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

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.
