 The alterna-kids don't buy Savatage either.
 They will probably never get into BOC.
 Have you ever been to a hardcore gig?   The kids want excitement, not talent.

 A real wheeze fest.  : )
 How old is Ty Tabor?  About 45, I think.  Great player, to be sure.
 The only way to get such a project to sound modern is to re-write the whole
thing.  Imaginos sounds 80's, and when it was released originally, it was
already seen as old style metal.
  A modern producer would be essential, too, so that puts a real spin on the
whole idea.  A Pearlman album produced by someone else.

  It never sold the first time, I don't think it would sell this time around.

 Leave Imaginos as the pure, awesome album it is.   If a project were to
happen, let's hope it would totally different.
