Anyway, I've always found it uncanny how when the President has an (R) after his name, hard rock, punk, and metal bands suddenly discover politics. When there's a (D) they'll sing about cars and girls and when there's an (R) it's all "SANDINISTAS!" type crap. Never fails.
1988 and 2004...hmm. The (so brilliant it's cracking me up) idea of reviving "Mindcrime" for a sequel apparently never occurred to the Queensryche geniuses between 1992-2000. Gee I wonder why?
Wake me when Meat Loaf makes "Bat Out Of Hell 3".
I saw Queensryche live in concert a few times in the late 80s/early 90s. The funny thing, one time I saw them in Boston Garden and a band named Warrior Soul opened. They were big leftists (perhaps even anarchists if I recall correctly) and were booed by the crowd.
Bong-addled poodle boys in spandex... is there anything they don't know?....
Who the hell is Queensryche. I imagine they are following in the pioneering footsteps of Uriah Heep and Motley Crue. Sounds like a Queensryche endorsement for Kerry can only benefit bush. They probably just pick the candidate with the best hair.
Where do they play now? At high school gymnasiums?
I'm still reeling over Bruce Springsteen's 'enormous sustenance' remark regarding columnists Paul Krugman and Maureen Dowd, and now this!
Really a moronic comment? I thought it was a sarchastic comment about a bunch of punk bands. If you mistook my comment to mean that I thought Bruce Springsteen sold less than Traffic then that's one thing, otherwise I am sorry that humor and sarchasm are lost on you.
Will John Mellenhead & Bruce Sreamstain be the opening act or the headliner?
I thought they sucked too. AC/DC all the way.
My bad then, I actually love humor and frankly feel very at home in sarcasm as you would see in many of my posts... I really thought you felt Traffic sold more albums than Bruce and Sting etc. Moron was a bit strong, I apologize... :)
Good, maybe Mindcrime II will be good. They've gotten steadily less listenable and interesting since Mindcrime. Q2K was complete crap.
Queensryche is a Pink Floyd wanna be cover band...they are soooooooo 1990.
Unfortunately I bought 2 tix for their Pompano Beach show this friday. I never knew their political bent until now. It does throw a wrench into the whole "fan" thing now. I guess I will see them for the first and the last time on friday. Maybe i,ll wear my W04' hat and t-shirt.
Did he ask these same questions when Clinton was bombing Yugoslavia?
Queensryche was good upto Empire, then they out thought themselves and got too artsy. If they were to revisit their own lyrics, they`d see that the repubs are NOT the enemy of the state they allude to.
"The rich control the government, the media, the law..."
The Kerrys? George Soros? The Clintons? liberals in general? The prime directive of Marxism is to infiltrate the government, media,law, and education. I think they`ve succeeded. Revisit the thread from last night about the billionaires meeting in Colorado.
I seem to recall that they were part of some megatour with other bands and Dennis DeYoung wanted to do the actual show which had little skits in between the songs. They were booed off the stage. On the Behind the Music, the other band members basically said they understood why they were booed (they openly expressed their hatred for DeYoung, since the album was basically his idea in the first place).
Queensryche is a GREAT band. (Sorry, all of you who insist they "suck" - I'll just be blunt and tell you that you don't know what you're talking about. I've been in the music business for over twenty years. It's not even up for debate.) Unfortunately, when it comes to politics, they're idiots.
Wouldn't be the first time we've seen stupid musicians shooting off their mouths on the topic, won't be the last.
Go for it...I am wearing my Bush/Cheney shirt that night and throwing another one up on stage.
