I thought getting rick-rolled was when your buddies got ya drunk, tied you naked to the back of a cow, set the tail on fire, and ran you through your neighbor's Halloween party screaming, "Lucy, I'm home!!"
My how times have changed.
As for the flick, I really liked the choreography. It reminded me of the Prisoner.
But who was the chick on the horse and how come she sat a saddle like that?

Also, glad to hear the brilliant plot will continue for another two videos. I can't wait to see the drama and pathos the director is able to evoke from some of the most emotionally beautiful and philosophically complex pieces of film I, and dare I say the entire world, has ever laid eyes upon.

Ugh. That so reminds me of why I hate '80s metal. It's got everything: obligatory screaming, midget abuse, blatant stereotyping, uninspired guitar work, and of course the half naked white haired king with the perfect body who wakes up just long enough to throw a cup and then fall back asleep.
Scary as it sounds, I'll take the Rouse's video over this one any day of the week.
Jon Oliva has a very obnoxious voice, but if you take anything Savatage did with Zakk Stevens, you have some of the best metal you'll ever hear. Hall of the Mountain King nowhere compares to some of the epic stuff they did later, including the ridiculously awesome counterpoint arrangement at the end of this song:
Also, if you think Criss Oliva's guitar playing is uninspired.... There really are no words. (Sadly, he doesn't feature on the above song, having died in a car accident by then...)
Also, Chris Dane Owens has changed my life.
The MVP of that video is the alligator, though.
Needs more alligator.

Good to meet another Savatage fan! My first experience with this band was when I bought "Dead Winter Dead" simply because I thought the cover was cool. I'm glad I did. It's one of my favorite albums.
Unfortunately, it's really tough to find Savatage albums here in Edmonton. The local HMVs don't usually have anything and when they do the price is outragous. (i.e. $25+) I definitely want The Wake Of Magellan and Hall Of The Mountain King if I can find them at a reasonable price.

I'll be your second! The Alan Parsons Project ROCKS! Their Honor must be defended!
(Okay . . . so it wasn't exactly the Alan Parsons Project, but they were a major influence and involved with the music production.)
I don't know much about the Alan Parsons Project, but my favorite song from one of my favorite albums, Trance Atlantic Air Waves, was a cover of one of their songs. Maybe you'd enjoy it.

But, alas, it is a Pyrrhic victory, as my friends mock me mercilessly for preferring it to the orchestral score in the director's cut.

YES! (Man, I just love 70's and 80's Prog Rock).
P.S.: That would be a movie that I'd love to see redone without Tom Cruise. However, it would still have to have Tim Curry. Man, he was tons of awesome in that movie.
Hey, StreamOfTheSky, I tried to listen to it but it said it was no longer available. Got another link? (and I swear to god, if you Rick-Roll me I'm going to hunt down every character you've ever had and forcibly switch their genders).

Wow, I can't stand youtube. I was listening to it, both from the site and my embedded video like 10 minutes before you posted!
Well, the video was just some pictures to go with the song anyway. You can listen to it (and the entire album, in fact) from enigmamusic.com *checks site* looks like they hid the link for some reason. Here's the page, just scroll down to Lucifer and click on it. You need Real Player to use the media links on the site, if that's a problem.
For what it's worth, I just searched youtube again for "taaw lucifer," the video was the first search result, and it played just fine. Sometimes youtube tells me a video isn't available, and when I try again later it is.

No you definitely aren't although I still think that video was rather good, made me wonder why they didn't expand upon it, its certainly interesting enough I've got both d&d movies and I watch the Lord of the Rings trilogy more times than I've watched both of those movies combined!
Curious song took a while to get past my defences but it is quite good still think that singer should have kept the moustache made me wonder if he was planning to take the role of Varsuvious of the OOTS live action movie!
FWIW, I love Savatage AND APP, and think the Tangerine Dream version of Legend is the best...and I really love the Brian Ferry song at the end ("Is Your Love Strong Enough").
