Official Queensryche thread: Kickstart the next album

Hes been open in his love of Lady Gaga and Moby... 

  the music is irrelevant at this point

Apparently!

[Samsara]

Extremely disappointed about both the Empire and Mindcrime editions, and whatever the sound clip is on Scott Rock's QR site.

Empire and Mindcrime remastered...again. Cool. Bonus tracks, same stuff as usual. Just sort of repackaged around. The only thing that catches my eye is, on Mindcrime, Live in Wisconsin...is that LIVEcrime? I assume so. But so much of all this stuff on both records is available everywhere, and has been available everywhere.

Cool for fans who may not have gotten any of that stuff, but for hardcores, who I would expect these are aimed at, there's nothing "collectable" here except more commentary from Tate.

Pass. Sadly.

[Trav86]

Does anyone know what the Overseeing the Operation bonus track is? That’s the only thing really new that I noticed.

Heh, while DLS is a Promised Land-era B-side, it just keeps getting re-released with Empire.

Unless I am misremembering, I believe that is because it was written (and recorded) during the Empire sessions, and just not used as a B-side until PL (I forget which single it was on).  Samsara can verify whether my recollection is correct, but I think that's the story.

And, yeah, I'm right with those who are taking a "pass" on getting these box sets.  They bring nothing new to the table, unfortunately.  Being in an era now with physical album sales already at all-time lows, I think they are going to be disappointed with how few units of this actually get sold.

[Dedalus]

I’m just upset. I might rethink it later.

It's all right bro - not the end of the world, although it's probably the end of anyone thinking of Rockenfield respectfully....   

Except EPICVIEW, who is happy that the valiant Scott has escaped the clutches of the terrible Todd.
 

I WANT DRAMA !!!   the music is irrelevant at this point,,,, joking,,, not joking,,LOL

Since 1994.

Quick change of topic:

I hadn't listened to the EP in forever, largely because it didn't do much for me back in the day, but I just gave it a fresh spin and, hot damn, The Lady Wore Black is awesome.  I would ask, how did I miss that before?, but that seems to be a recurring theme with me the last few years.

I spun the ep a few months ago   I lived on it daily from the day it came out for years,   still mind melting

Finally something we can all agree on.

The EP blew me away when it came out. Still does. Such a fresh approach.

[goo-goo]

The Unplugged version of Lady Wore Black is phenomenal. Wish QR would release the full unplugged show.

Pass.  I have that DVD.

Yeah, missed opportunity not releasing it here.

[jammindude]

That’s another thing. For years I’ve tried to excuse and turn a blind eye for how tone deaf they seem to be. But this whole thing is just sort of bringing all the other past things that I tried to ignore into clarity.

Seriously. How tone deaf is it to know that your Fanbase wants nothing more than the unplugged to get a release and to not even say anything. If you can’t, then for god sake‘s say something! Tell us why! Don’t just ignore us!

I’m just sick of the attitude of the entire band. I tried to excuse it for so long thinking it was just Geoff. I’ve only just now started to realize that it really is all of them and I’m just sick of it.

[DoctorAction]

I'm interested to hear how the new remasters sound. But not enough to buy them. I'll check it out on Spotify if they appear there.

But the one album I'd LOVE for them to remix and remaster is The Warning. More guitar and some modern power. Would be amazing!

[MirrorMask]

Also - what does Q3 means? the third incarnation of the band, with the first being Tate's albums and the second being LaTorre's albums (which implies both previous incarnations are a thing of the past), or the third version of "Queensryche" alongside the LaTorre lineup and solo Tate?

It's not a good choice either way 

[IDontNotDoThings]

Does the name "Queensrÿche 3" imply that he thinks Geoff Tate's 2013 Queensrÿche counts? That's odd, considering less than a decade ago he was (rightly) on the side of a lawsuit trying to prove it didn't.

[Kwyjibo]

i think he refers to the original lineup as Q1, then the TLT-fronted lineup, where he was a part of in the beginning as Q2 and now his incarnation is therefore Q3.

[Cintus Supremus]

what if that  is Emily Tate on vocals  ..... lets add that to any drama just for the sake of fun 

do we have our first true Queen of the Reich?   

Get her dressed up as the bosomy queen from the original video and you've got yourself a deal.

Funny - I was under the impression that QR3 meant the second offshoot of QR, and that Tater's version from 2013 would have been considered QR2.

Also, why they never release the DVD of Operation Videocrime in any those special editions?

[Kyo]

Rockenfield has now added another audio player to his QR site, this one featuring a complete song, a demo of Toxic Remedy from 2014. I'm really not sure what the point of all this is.

[Setlist Scotty]

Interesting. He's added a whole bunch of stuff to the page now, including exclusive new "merchandi$e", live performances and rare music from the QR archives. Plus at the bottom there's a lowres image of "the band" with separate photos of him, Wilton and Jackson. To me this hints at him capitalizing on QR in some sort of rogue fashion more than him putting together a new competing version of QR.

Probably to give a sampling (and proof) of the rarities from the QR archives).

Wow. That website layout. Geez. So many fonts. So. Many. Fonts.
