queensryche

an 80’s band that redifined heavy metal and goth metal, the band formed out of seattle in 1982 and had released their first cd in ’83 that was self t-tled. their biggest hit was probably silent lucidity off of the alb-m empire. probably one if the best bands ever and one of my favorites.
dude! queensryche kicks some major -ss! dude i know!!!
incredibly talented progressive rock band that is often incorrectly defined as an “80s metal” band. although they formed in the 80s, queensryche has continually released studio alb-ms every few years since their inception in 1983, most recently the alb-m “tribe”, which was released in july, 2003. they are currently working on operation mindcrime ii, a sequel to what is arguably their most popular alb-m and also one of the first concept alb-ms to enjoy commercial success, “operation mindcrime.” queensryche has remained fresh and retained their enormous, rabidly loyal fan base by continually re-inventing themselves, while, unlike many rock bands with their origins in the 80s, “selling out” to current trends, such as nu-metal. they were recently voted the “number 8 greatest american rock band” in a usa today poll.

the band is composed of all the original members (eddie jackson, michael wilton, geoff tate, and scott rockenfield), with the exception of lead guitarist chris degarmo, who left the band in 1997 amid a great deal of controversy, due to a difference in artistic vision between himself and the singer, geoff tate. the current guitarist replacing chris is mike stone.
“queensryche’s most underrated alb-m is most certainly “promised land”. a dark, introspective alb-m fusing a myriad of musical styles, this alb-m was truly a work of genius, both lyrically and musically.”

“queensryche should not be referred to as an 80s metal band, as they have continually been producing music since that time, and their current musical style is far from the screaming-banshee stylings of the 80s.”
the guardian angel of heavy metal
why did you do it?
a band that f-cking owns you.
operation: mindcrime beats all sh-t nu-metal bands into the ground. queensryche owns.
a word -ssociated with musical wisdom. lyrically poetic and logical which leaves an impression upon one’s mind. theatrical and emotional representation of music and self expression. sounds of clear and beauty with perfect pitch and precision. the voice of perfection and by far superior amongst all others. as a whole it can create and recreate again and again presenting it each time or each chapter different then the last; never the same.
a poets line in a rhyme of silence: no one can hear when your s-c-r-e-a-m-i-n-g—i-n-d-i-g-i-t-a-l—
f-cking sick 80’s heavy metal band that’s still making music now. most of the cr-p we have today is sh-t in comparison, especially the t-rd known as nu-metal.
‘operation: mindcrime’ is a concept alb-m by queensryche, and my favourite one by the band.
friggin awesome band. end of discussion.
queensryche is like, awesome, dude.
