:lol  The part where he checked "Black/African American" on the check-in form and then winked at the camera made me laugh.  And then I was like, "okaaaaaaaaaaaayyyyyyyyyy...why exactly is Fozzy on camera now?"  The whole thing was...interesting.

I'm glad I didn't waste my time with either of those shows; going to or performing at.

I decided to try Dedicated to Chaos... well... some songs are really, really interesting (Broken and Big Noize for me), some are good, some are passable, and some are bad or even awful (the first four songs on the album should be nuked immediately). Well it certainly is... chaotic. Extremely inconsistent album.

It will be the riveting sequel to the one where he goes to the store to buy the cereal.

Stay tuned to see if Geoff reads the back of the cereal box.

I'd also say that it's easily the best thing they've done post-97.

I think you may have misunderstood me.  I also feel Dedicated to Chaos is the worst thing they've ever done.  But I feel the hospital video is their best work since HITNF.

???  But why would you even compare something lame with something amazing in the first place?

On one hand, you have HITNF.  On the other, you have the hospital video.  That's like making a comparison of bacon cooked by the very hand of God in his own kitchen on one hand vs. a bowl of dead rats that has been putrifying in the sun for two months on the other hand.  I don't get the comparison.

Perhaps I used "best since" improperly; I was trying to say that of their stuff after HITNF (which I agree is a good album), the hospital video is probably the best.  I find it entertaining.

I always forget that Bosk loves what was until recently Queensryche's worst album.

Despite what one may think of HITNF and the handful of cuts Degarmo was on from Tribe, I am so glad he jumped ship when he did. I don't think I could stomach him being a part of this whole bullshit of tate's nowadays.

At least with him gone, and him being the main songwriter, you can separate the degarmo years from everything else, and see the separation.

Like Floyd without Roger, or Kansas without Livgren, etc. While the bands carried on, the split was distinct.

Queensryche is playing literally a stone's throw from my wife's office, and I'm not going. I WILL NOT support this shit.

I'll just continue AnybodyListening.net, be a Defecation of Chaos HATER, and revel in the real band -- Tate, Degarmo, Wilton, Jackson, Rockenfield.  WITHOUT SUSAN FUCKING TATE.

I agree with you wholeheartedly.  Except for your comparison of post-Chris QR to post-Water Pink Floyd.  That stuff's boss.

Don't take me the wrong way, I like post-Waters Floyd. I was saying that the band really is a different band without Waters, and his lyrical and musical contributions. Still good, but different.  I like post-Degarmo QR too (except Defecation of Chaos), but it really isn't the same (for me) band, given the totally different approach in songwriting.

I gave a listen to Hot spot junkie.

Should I feel guilty for enjoying the groove and the main riff? That was quite rockin'.  :metal

The music of that song is good. It's the lyrics that are really stupid. The actual intent of what he is getting at (the subject matter) is cool social commentary. But the lyrics are stupid and ridiculous. Same as Retail Therapy. Music is ok, nothing bad, nothing hugely good, but the lyrics are trash. Subject wise, it could be interesting, but the lyrics are just horrendous.

Defecation of Chaos is the ultimate example of what happens when you don't have someone tell the lead singer "no, we're not doing that," and throw quality control out the window. You get a middle-aged windbag who comes across as out of touch, smug and totally missing the point.
