more like the other way around actually. ME-tallica copied what was done by TSO.

TSO (Or should I say specifically lyricist/songwriter/producer Paul O'Neill, since TSO is his baby) took what was being done by Mannheim Steamroller and added elements of hard rock/progressive rock (Kinda obvious by the members of Savatage being in TSO), added Broadway style stage presentation to Christmas/holiday music with an orchestrated twist.

I thought about seeing the Nov.19 show in OKC, But I would rather see Chris Caffery on his solo jaunt in support of his heavy as **** album "W.A.R.P.E.D."
