Queensryche

[Martoss]

Your thoughts?

 

[Hatebreeder]

Decent band. I prefer them to Iron Maiden.

 

[Evil?]

The old stuff fucking rules. I love Mindcrime1 and Rage for Order. Great classic stuff.

 

[The Heartbreak Kid]

I love Empire!!! (the Album)

 

[Under The Oak]

I love their old stuff, and O:M2 is pretty good also. I really wanted to see them live here in the next two days, but it costs 85 fucking dollars. There's no band I'd pay that much to see.

 

[Martoss]

I went and saw them when they toured through Houston and I went with a junior and 2 seniors (I'm a freshman, so I felt pretty damn kool)

If it wasn't the most theatric and spellbinding concert ever.

They played through MC 1&2

I enjoyed MC1 because I'd listened to it more, but both were good

And they played Jet City Woman as an encore

Fucking awesome

Everything through OMC is essential.

Both OMC and especially Rage For Order are among the best prog metal albums ever.

For the last couple years, liking Rage For Order after all has been the hip thing, and if you don't, you're totally not cool.

 

[Hatebreeder]

OMC:2 seemed a little weak vocally.

The band started on a steady downhill decline following the departure of Chris DeGarmo in 1994-95; then, the incline that they've been on has been steepening to a straight drop down, especially if O:MII is any indication. uke:

This once-great band is now suitable for flushing down the toilet, both onstage and in the studio. Unlike their early influence, Iron Maiden, their shows have shown less energy. I've all the inclination to see them now as I do to see Ozzy.

 

[Hatebreeder]

I've all the inclination to see them now as I do to see Ozzy.

Damn, that's pretty harsh. I wouldn't say they've reached an Ozzy-level of low, but they're definitely not as refreshing.

 

[NecrosluG]

I only like operation mindcrime. I didnt actually listen to the rest but..

Good band , nevertheless.

 

[Saparmurat_Niyazov]

I love Queensryche. I've seen the O:M movie like a billion times. What does everyone think of the self-titled EP?

 

[Hatebreeder]

I love Queensryche. I've seen the O:M movie like a billion times.

There's a movie? :zombie:

 

[Saparmurat_Niyazov]

Um, yeah. It's a live performance of O:M interspersed with the kickass animation and conceptual footage. It's called Operation Livecrime.

 

[TalesOfTerror]

Take hold of the flame!
One of the great ones in the day.

 

[Hatebreeder]

Um, yeah. It's a live performance of O:M interspersed with the kickass animation and conceptual footage. It's called Operation Livecrime.

Oh. Cool, now I have a reason to go pick it up.

 

[Dee Snarl]

What does everyone think of the self-titled EP?

Fucking awesome.

Half of it (original press) is "Queen of the Reich" and "The Lady Wore Black" so how can you go wrong? Classic tunes.

 

[wolf]

I have to agree with you there although "lady wore black" had the bass way in the background.Maybe the live version would be better?

 

[sumairetsu]

Damn, that's pretty harsh. I wouldn't say they've reached an Ozzy-level of low, but they're definitely not as refreshing.

Hey, opinions were asked for, and you know the old saying about opinions and people. Seriously, though...O:MII made me wish for the Tribe days - and that's not a good thing. It's sad, too because they were such a great band. I still listen to their old stuff and I still have the memories of a great live band, but they're not the same band anymore.

I'm not abandoning all hope of them producing a good album. Even some of my favorite bands of all time (Slayer, Kiss, Judas Priest, Iron Maiden, Morbid Angel, Kreator, Tool and others) have produced some real turkeys in their time and come back with great albums, so I'm not completely writing them off.

 

[Susperia]

I do not like them.
