Total shame. I was a HUGE Queensryche fan from Operation Mindcrime,Empire,Promised Land,Hear In The Now Frontier albums..which were very big for rock bands in the late 80s and early 90s.

I saw that they were portraying Bush as Hitler on the video screens on their last tour and I totally lost all respect for them. I am however seeing them this Sunday in Orlando to cover their show at the House of Blues for my paper which I write for, so the tickets are comped.

I will never spend a dime on them again.

Queensryche always blew.

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!

Will John Mellenhead & Bruce Sreamstain be the opening act or the headliner?

remember what happened to Styx on the “Mr. Roboto” tour.

Anyone care to enlighten me?

Good, maybe Mindcrime II will be good. They've gotten steadily less listenable and interesting since Mindcrime. Q2K was complete crap.

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.

‘Wait a minute, Iraq didn’t have anything to do with the terrorist attacks. Why are we going to war with this country?’

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.

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.

What can you expect of people who grow up in liberal laalaa land, aka the Supreme Soviet of Seattle?

These guys are too stupid to pee straight.

AAAAUUUGH!! NOOOooooooo! I still love Rage for Order, but should've figured they were flaming leftists since they hail from wacko central.

Why can't these entertainers just STFU and sing??

They had 1 decent song back in the day, then followed up with that utter sell-out piece of crap made-for-radio song Silent Lucidity. I can't believe they're still around. Does anybody even care anymore? If anybody still does, I would recommend downloading their stuff off Kazaa rather than lining the pockets of these Bush-hating nobodies.
