Although O’Neill’s career included management, production, tour promotion and producing Aerosmith’s Classic Live I & II, he will forever be associated with massive touring production known as Trans-Siberian Orchestra and its association with the holiday season. 


“The fans own the band and it’s our job to spare no expense, time or money to make the best albums and concerts and charge the lowest possible price,” he said in an interview. “The fans own the band. The minute we forget that is the minute we start to decline.”
