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.

I always thought they sucked. Big, bloated, quasi-intellectual, posturing crap. "Silent Lucidity," puh-leez. This just confirms my previous opinion.

Yet another group of has-been musicians whose music is officially less relevant than their absurd political points of view.

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".

Geez, what's next? Is mid 90's one hit wonder white boy rapper Snow going to come out against Bush? Gee that would be devastating. I hope Boy George doesn't voice his opinion. A harsh word from Flock of Seagulls an W is doomed! (sarcasm)

I remember their album "Empire" but I didn't know they still existed.

Despite the Bush bash, that would be a hell of a show. Got any extra tickets?

Why do people think Clinton 'cares' for them, or even that Kerry does? George Bush has shown an incredible amount of affection for all people as President and Governor. I can't see how anyone can't see that, or that Kerry somehow care MORE.

There ya go.Another dumba$$ed bunch of sheep that decided to follow the loser flock,and now they will be boycotted too....And,since their stuff sucks and their fan base can probably be counted on one hand nowadays,the loss of a single dollar could throw them into bankruptcy.

someone needs to do an anti-Kerry parody of Queensryche's "Silent Lucidity"

"Nuanced Duplicity"

It is a shame. Operation Mindcrime is a great album and I've always liked Geoff Tate's voice. There is a line from the song "Revolution Calling" that I often think of whenever I read about the MSM's latest shenanigans.

I used to trust the media To tell me the truth, tell us the truth But now I've seen the payoffs Everywhere I look Who do you trust when everyone's a crook?

Unfortunately, Geoff had to open his mouth and ruin it for me.

I was a HUGE Queensryche fan from Operation Mindcrime,Empire,Promised Land,Hear In The Now Frontier albums..

I could enjoy some of their music about once every 8 or 10 months. I never bought any of their albums and needless to say I won't now.

I'm shocked, SHOCKED.... that Queensryche even still exists. Next they'll be saying that Warrant's got a new record out.

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.

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.
