Why did Steve leave after the album and not play on the tour?
At this point Steve was running several businesses on the side and decide to go with those seeing as they made more money than drumming for Savatage did. Steve agreed to do the first video and press shots for the album but that was it. Steve brought in his friend Andy James to play on the tour. During the subsequent tour Andy changed a lot of the drums parts around, angering many of the band members. Had the tour continued it is likely that Andy would have been fired.
