Queensryche
Jan. 22nd, 2005 12:07 pmI first heard of Queensryche about sixteen years ago. A young man who went by the handle "Whitesnake" posted about the band with glowing admiration on the local university forums. At least a few others backed him up.
I'd never heard of Queensyrche; they didn't get much, if any, airplay on the radio stations I listened to. I wasn't particularly impressed by the band Whitesnake, and I didn't feel any need to go hunt some music by Queensyche down on the recommendation of a few net acquaintinces. But the name stuck in my head; I did kinda want to hear what it was they enjoyed so much.
Nine years later, I moved to Emerald City to join Lt.Warhound, and he had an extensive collection of Queensryche -- much of it originally purchased on tape or vinyl, and later bought again on CD. I finally got a chance to listen to the band, and found I quite liked their music.
A few weeks ago, I heard a radio ad announcing that Queensryche was stopping in my city on their current tour. The ad described their performance: "Act I will be favorites from across all their albums, while in Act II Queensryche will perform, in its entirety, Operation: Mindcrime."
( Operation: Mindcrime! )
