dbp:quote
  • "I had a great teacher. Criss Oliva was one of the greatest guitar players of the world and he taught me everything I knew." (en)
  • "Criss had a feel that was staggering and a sound that was unbelievable. I simply had never heard a better guitar player." (en)
  • "Criss could play anything you could imagine. He could work a solo around a vocal without stepping on it, and he was one of the few guitarists who knew how to convey the emotion of the human voice with a guitar. He was a combination of the angst of Duane Allman on "Layla,' the excitement of Jimmy Page, the emotion of Eric Clapton, the raw feel of Joe Perry and the dexterity of Eddie Van Halen or Allan Holdsworth." (en)
  • "[Criss] had the fluidity of guys like George Lynch and Warren DeMartini, but with an aggressive, melodic conviction that fit Savatage perfectly." (en)
  • "You could hear [Criss Oliva's] classical roots and appreciate his knowledge and grasp of modal dexterity that was such a huge signature of his work. He was a trailblazer in metal guitar the way Randy Rhoads was before him." (en)
