Chris Caffery of  @transsiberianorchestra  Trans-Siberian Orchestra,  @thisissavatage  Savatage, Doro, his solo band, and others.

Quotes from this episode: 

  • There's not a lot of money coming from the sales. So you're going to have to get on the road. 
  • It's really important for people to get an identity. 

Savatage is like a little little anchor in the middle right now that I've been missing.

No lyric reference this episode. (What?!)
