thread_title: Fair use rationale for Image:Savatage Logo.png

message: Please forgive my ignorance, but where do these star ratings for the albums come from?  Without some kind of reference to whose ratings they are, there's no way they are NPOV.  Please help me understand how they got there and where they come from.  Mitchell k dwyer 11:37, 30 July 2007 (UTC)

thread_title: Fair use rationale for Image:Savatage Logo.png

message: It's not clear what is meant by the color scheme on the band lineup timeline. At one point Jon Oliva's goes from purple with a red line through it to red with a purple line through it, then back, with no explanation. One can extrapolate that the larger color is the "primary" role in the band, but the chart should reflect that information instead of just assuming everyone knows how to read it.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 24.84.192.215 (talk) 19:33, 8 September 2014 (UTC)
thread_title: Timeline colors

message: Some of the band history is intermixed with opinion  In particular, the article suggests Jack Frost might have been led away due to other commitments.  This is very far from the case.  Getting hired for Savatage was a major highlight in Frost's career; I know this to be fact due to being long-time friends with someone who corresponded with him at length about his role in Savatage.  Now, here's what I'm guessing from reading scattered interviews, looking at timelines, and talking with my friend: at the time, Savatage was being re-shaped in order to lead all the fans toward Trans-Siberian Orchestra.  Frost probably wouldn't have been kept on for TSO, but would have been let go with Damond Jiniya when Savatage disbanded.  Frost got canned when he did because Al Pitrelli wanted to return to being involved with TSO when Megadeth went on hiatus.  I know (from my friend) that Jack Frost was blindsided; he had put all his other music projects by the wayside to play in Savatage.  Of course, I have no way to back this up encyclopedically, but there are surely interviews floating around with citable transcripts. os (talk) 00:45, 10 December 2014 (UTC)
