I still find Queensryche strange for doing this...

See, that I don't agree with. Of all the things Queensryche needs to change, their live performance isn't one of them, which is why this whole cabaret idea confuses me.
And I'm going to say it knowing full well I'll get hate for this, but I actually didn't mind HITNF. Was it vintage Queensryche? Hell no, but I thought the songs were pretty cool (for the most part) in my opinion. They truly went down hill once Degarmo left. If he had stayed, they would not have gone in the directions, i.e. BORING AS HELL, that they have. I like many wish they would just call it a day and Tate if he wanted to, could do a solo career. The music they write nowadays isn't Queensryche anymore, but I still say they kick it live.

Maybe Metallica??

I had the same thought.
Yeah. Even Empire and Promised Land (the latter of which I really, really like) are just shadows of the former greatness.

I agree with you guys. Like what they are now or not, they still can go out and play great shows. If you don't like them now, then don't go to the shows or buy the albums. A very simple solution really, but I suppose that wouldn't make interesting fodder for the boards though.

For Tribe? Simple. Track 10 becomes track one, then all the other tracks move over in sequence.
This way, the sappy happy song begins as we imagine life as hunky dory. Then, we see life ain't that great with "Open"(your eyes), and continue forth, so by the album's end, you have "The Art of Life", which was always the classic Ryche album-ending song.
I was of the same opinion as you on "recent" Queensryche, but in getting ready for their last tour I went back and really listened to every album since Empire A LOT. None of the stuff really impresses at first, but it really grew on me the more I listened to it.

No, thanks. I went to a drag show once when I was living in Nashville. Seeing men who look better than me in a 2-piece bathing suit has left me scarred for life. :zombie:
That's very true. Remember when they toured with DT on that co-headline dealio? I went to two shows on that tour. At the first one, the Queensryche brigade left before DT played, when they closed, and the second one, where Queensryche played last, people were like "I've never seen an opening band play so long" and stuff like that. There ARE some cool, knowledgeable QR fans out there, but a lot of them (I don't wanna say it, but hell with it, the fat chicks
) are oblivious to anything other than QR. If it isn't QR, it sucks, and that's sad.(I don't wanna say it, but hell with it, the fat chicks

Yeah, but any long running band has fans like that.
I mean, 20,000 people show up to a Maiden show, where less than 5% would show up to see Blind Guardian the next night in the same city.
QR, like Maiden, has die hard fans from the 80s who never was exposed to anything underground.

I had almost the same experience at the Tampa show. DT went on before QR and a burnt out looking chick next to me with a Op: Mindcrime shirt on noticed l was going nuts during DT. She asked me who they were & why were their songs so long.

I can't possibly be the only one here who truly enjoys most of Q2K? "Liquid Sky," "Sacred Ground," "Burning Man," "Right Side Of My Mind," "Wot Kinda Man?" - all big time 'Ryche favorites in my library. As for HItNF.... I'll say this, every great band has a "throw away" album that most of their fans don't enjoy, but "Chasing Blue Sky" and "Sign of the Times" are dang spiffy tunes.
On the subject of this new live cabaret nonsense, I can say with all honesty that I'll be as far away from that as possible. Queensrÿche, whether you like their music or not, have always seemed to be a respectable, professional, and even, dare I say, "classy" metal band. Resorting to burlesque dancers and basically slutting up a good show is just cheap.

Liquid Sky and Sacred Ground are great songs, and there are plenty of good songs on HitNF mixed with the bad - "The Voice Inside", "Saved", "You", "spOOL", "Hit the Black" and "Reach"
About the cabaret? I was puzzled, but I think it might have been entertaining.

I'm one of the few people it seems that likes HITNF. It has nothing to do with their past greatness and they went into a more alternative direction, but I do like the tunes on that album. Q2k and Tribe just bore the hell out of me.
Agreed on the cabaret. As I said, if Motley Crue wants to do shit like that, I completely understand but Queensryche makes no sense. They've always been quoted as being the "Thinking man's metal". That's definitely not the case if they're doing this.
