I'm really pleased I got to see Queensryche perform both 'Mindcrime' albums in Bristol a few years ago (2008 I think), they sounded great and I was really into them at the time, so I'll never forget that.
However, I saw them again in Newport in 2011 when they were supporting Judas Priest, they only played a 4-song set but they looked and sounded like they really couldn't give a shit by that point
.... That wasn't too long before they parted ways... Priest on the other hand were incredible!
I'm not sure I'd see either version of the band at this point, but based on the version of 'Take hold of the flame' posted earlier I'd probably stick with Queesryche offical...
