I wasn't going to get it cos I heard it was a dud, but then it got 8/10 in Classic Rock so I think I'm gonna have to check it out.
Would be good if they do tour here. Been wanting to see them for many years.

Where did you hear that? Interesting venue choice- as much as I love Queensryche, I have my doubts they'd come close to filling that venue.
Yeah.. I doubt they would either.
They'd be nowhere near as popular as other bands that are playing there (INXS and even Opeth are 2 that I have tix to)

Mindcrime II is the best Queensryche album since Promised Land. Anyone who doesn't have it is missing out big time.
Don't suppose this tour will reach Adelaide? Didn't think so...

AT LONG LAST....
QUEENSRYCHE
Rock, Revenge, Redemption...
Australian Tour Confirmed
For those of us who experienced the late '80s metal explosion during our
teens, Queensryche's musical evolution throughout the decade seemed to
mirror the growth of our own tastes: every album sounded more mature,
more bold, more assured. The band's musical horizons were expanding and
they were demonstrating a flowering of progressive rock influences an
idea which would reach it's fruition with the pending release of the
greatest progressive metal concept album of all time...
In the weeks before the 1988 release of Operation: Mindcrime, word of
mouth was generating serious momentum; claims were being made that the
new record was going to stand alongside such seminal works as Rush's
2112 and the Who's Quadrophenia. In a genre where bombast, theatrics and
melodrama was commonplace, nobody had really attempted something on this
grand a scale, but if there was one band with both the talent and the
ambition to pull it off, it was Queensrcyhe.
Operation: Mindcrime stole everyone's thunder. Built around a rich and
detailed storyline that would be ludicrous if it weren't so darn
engaging (disenchanted young man joins subversive group, becomes
political assassin, falls for a hot nun, nails the hot nun, becomes a
heroin addict, and is seemingly framed for the hot nun's murder),
Mindcrime had Queensryche testing its limits, both musically and
lyrically.
Eighteen years after Operation: Mindcrime's release, it's now considered
one of the finest rock operas ever recorded and universally regarded as
one of the greatest metal albums of all time.
Nearly two decades after turning the metal world on its ear by exceeding
everybody's lofty expectations, Queensryche have released Operation:
Mindcrime II. 59 minutes and 10 seconds...the albums duration. This is
how long listening pleasure lasts. This is the needed time for that
libretto, that "metallic" tragedy to invade our minds, become pictures
and colours, sounds and breaths, walk through mercy and fear, hoping for
and finally reaching, achieving the "catharsis".
Queensryche have built a career based on conscious recording, tireless
touring and fierce devotion to their tremendous global fan base. So it
is only fair that after countless petitions their thousands of die hard
Australian fans finally get to experience the amazing Queensryche as
they deliver Operation Mindcrime 1 & 2 live in concert!

It's a benefit cancer thing that Olivia Newton John is putting on. There are 3 bands competing in a battle of the bands type thing and we do 3 songs each. It's televised and the winners go from SMS votes. The winners get to play 'You;re the one that I want' with Olivia singing. 
Yeah.. I'm playing keyboards in one of the bands

Y'know, Wrathy, that really isn't saying much.
I think I'm the only person around who loved Q2K though. Detested Hear in the Now Frontier and couldn't get into Tribe.Just listened to a couple of the tracks, I'm American and The Hands. Sounds nothing like the first Operation: Mindcrime. Sorta like their current sound except heavier. Still pretty damn good though. I'll be buying it once I see it for a decent price (still can't bring myself to pay more than $30 for a CD except for extra special releases).
