Rock Band Queensryche Sticks It To Bush (Operation Mindcrime Part 2)

Heavy Metal was born, lived, and died with Black Sabbath. Ah, the subtle transcendental qualities of Fairies Wear Boots.

This somehow reminds me of the time Pamela Anderson wondered why Hillary didn't leave Bill, like she left Nikki. To which a wag replied "because her husband's the most powerful man in the world, while your's was a drummer in a hair band."

[Squantos]

Queensrÿche’s political stance.........?!?!?!?

There ya have it MFH !..........entire article is inert with that statement IMO.

Stay safe !

Not you, MFH; the music noise...

[Terabitten]

Queensryche. Hmmmmm. Weren't they some halfassed garage band of some sort years ago?

Nope. That was Nirvana. :)

[PBRSTREETGANG]

Very thoughtful of Queensryche to check in from the Land of Suck to let us know what they're thinking.

[vollmond]

With a name like Queensryche, they're obviously trying to appeal to the left's natural base - fascists.

[rollo tomasi]

Dream Theater is the better hard/jazz/progressive American "rock" outfit. Fates Warning a close second, 'ryche has gone way downhill.

Send a FR-mail to "weegee" so he can add you to the Rock & Roll ping list we've got. I'll be interested in hearing about your after-report of the show.

Thanks!

Uh oh! Another college flunky band with less knowledge in their entire essence than the average conservative has in his/her right front tooth.

Gosh, what's next? Marilyn Manson going on a vote for Kerry tour.... I'm frightened...

NOT!

[dfwgator]

Marilyn Manson going on a vote for Kerry tour....

Say what you will about MM, but he is no bleeding heart liberal.

[dfwgator]

Lars Ulrich has been campaigning for Kerry and is very anti-Bush...you might want to re-think that Metallica thing

Figures, he wasn't even born in this country.

[hobbes1]

Queensryche is a GREAT band.

Was. After Operation:Mindcrime, it's all downhill.

Hey Geoff, it's not your politics turning us off. It;s your dead creativity. At least Sean Penn can still act.

[hobbes1]

Loved the EP & Warning, Mindcrime was definitely thier peak

Yup.....

Voices are Calling Me
Calling me
Calling me...

[Landru]

"Let's see that makes Sting, Bruce Springsteen, The Dixie Chicks, and about two dozen or so 'punk' bands that have collectively sold fewer albums than the re-release of Traffic's 'Low Spark of high heeled boys'."

BWAHAAAAAAA!!!

...Amen. :o)

I always liked these guys, pretty much everything up to, but not including "Empire". I kinda figured they were more Libertarian, rather than lefties, but frankly I couldn't care less about their political opinions.

They are trying to make a big comeback, and they don't see the irony in what they are doing - The liberals will eat it up, and these "anti-consumers" will make millions off of, who else? Consumers.

[Chad Fairbanks]

Actually, I had planned to do a song about the liberals and use that as the basis and call it "Violent Stupidity"...

[RUCKUS INC.]

I think that lyric you're looking for is:
(Ahem, clears throat)

"Informer, you know say daddy me snow me I go blam I licky boom boom down, detective man say say daddy me snow me stab someone down the lane, I licky boom boom down"

[Mudboy Slim]

I'd never heard of Queensryche before this thread, but I'll be glad to boycott them anyway.

FReegards...MUD

[intolerancewillNOTbetolerated]

“People have said to us, ‘How can you do this? How can you get behind this?’ And I say to them, ‘Listen to the records."

Yeah, okay...I'll follow you...right behind the rest of the lemmings headed for the cliff.

Good liberal: self-aggrandizing dolt.
