Fan-filmed video footage of QUEENSRŸCHE's December 6 performance at Irving Plaza in New York City can be seen below. QUEENSRŸCHE recently embarked on a month-long headlining tour of the United States. Support on the trek is coming from ARMORED SAINT and MIDNIGHT ETERNAL. QUEENSRŸCHE's latest album, "Condition Hüman", which debuted at No. 27 on The Billboard 200 chart, having shifted 14,000 equivalent album units in the week ending October 8, 2015. The band plans to enter the studio in January to write and record the follow-up to "Condition Hüman" for a late 2017 release. In an interview with the "Moshpit" show, singer Todd La Torre stated about what it has been like writing and recording with QUEENSRŸCHE since he took over as lead vocalist in 2012: "It's been a wonderful experience. We're touring constantly throughout the year, and so we're like a family. We're great friends. The writing experience happens on the road, it happens when we go home…we all have our unique writing experiences with each other. I'll write something with just Parker [Lundgren, guitar] or I'll write something with just Michael [Wilton, guitar], or Michael and Eddie [Jackson, bass] will work on something, or Scott [Rockenfield, drums] will work on something on his own and throw it over to me. There's a lot of different configurations in how the writing goes, but it's a lot of fun. It's a great experience." La Torre told the Phoenix New Times in a separate interview that QUEENSRŸCHE's split with the band's original frontman Geoff Tate is no longer considered relevant by most people that come to see the group perform. "Everything that happened with the former singer is old news with us," he said. "It's over. It's been three and a half plus years already. You know, people just lie to gossip, and everyone has an opinion. And with the days of the Internet, people feel like they have to express that. It's rare to see positive stuff compared to the negative crap people like to talk about. But people who come to the shows and people in the industry who are our peers — they all get it. When people like that tell you they feel things have improved, you value that feedback."
