Any Queensryche fans?

I planned a little overnight getaway trip for Little Drummer Boy and I for next week. We're going to see Queensryche in concert. I myself am not too familiar with most of their music, but LDB has been a fan for many years. We got fourth row center stage seats! Can't wait!

I'm a big fan -- or I was. I didn't see them when they were in the Bay Area a month ago. I saw them in February 05 -- great show. They performed the entire OM and their biggest hits. I downloaded OM 2, but I haven't been that impressed. I also saw them about 10 years ago and I won front row seats. It is so awesome to be up close.

Since you are four rows back, perhaps you will catch a drumstick from Scott Rockenfeld.

Have a wonderful time! I would love to hear your thoughts about the show.

Thanks soooo much for buying those tickets for us and making the arrangements. I can't wait to go. Woo Hoo!

My favorite song: Queensryche, Roads to Madness

Most of this is memory now
I've gone too far to turn back now
I'm not quite what I thought I was but
Then again I'm maybe more
The blood-words promised, I've spoken
Releasing the names from the circle
Maybe I can leave here now and, o
Transcend the boundaries

For now I'm standing here
I'm awaiting this grand transition
The future is but past forgotten
On the road to madness

Times measure rusts as it crawls
I see its face in the looking glass - stop
This screaming laughter hides, the pain of its reality
Black, the door was locked I opened
And now I've paid that price ten-fold over
Knowledge - was it worth such torment, oh
To see the far side of shadow

And still I'm standing here
I'm awaiting this grand transition
I'm a fool in search of wisdom
And I'm on the road to madness
Yes, I'm on the road to madness

I'm awaiting endlessly
Pounding rhythms echo me
Won't you take me somewhere far beyond the void

And still I'm standing here
I'm awaiting this grand transition
Maybe one day, oh I'll meet you, and we'll
Walk the roads to madness
Yes, we're on the road to madness

Oh, I think they've come to take me
I hear the voice, but there's no-one to see
I can't scream, too late it's time

Stay on the course to pass
You'll never find the answer
To a place where darkened angels seemed lost and never found
Scream to see the light of
Forming figures fast behind you
Lay the past in the wind to spin
And your fate will sail beyond the open plains, yah
Sail with angels onward
Live or die for the chosen one said
Saber sights cast a spell behind you
And they lock in all around

Free the scene insider
Never looking back to find why
Ride a course till the end of time
And you'll stand atop the gate
Laying waste in a path recited
Fighting force won't avenge the guided black wing
Oh, electric might poses fright inside me
Seeing light at the end of sight reminds me
I've passed away

Queensryche is pretty awesome. I prefer Dream Theater, but all the prog rock and prog metal bands are pretty good. Spock's Beard, Porcupine Tree, Marillion, Fate's Warning... all bands I've listened to at some point in history.

I bought one of their albums once and thought it was crap. Sorry.

Wow, yaddayadda, I think that is exactly the kind of post that she was hoping for! Well played.

I used to be an enormous Queensryche fan. I've seen them twice and own all the old albums, up to Q2K (at which point I kinda tuned out.) I have kind of grown out of them at this point, but they were essentially the soundtrack of my high school and early adult years. Every once in a while I'll fire up Mindcrime (their best album, imho, with Empire running a very close second) and listen through again.

Even reading the title to this thread has put "Best I Can" in my head.

I totally hear you on that one under. That was a crappy album. However I did like the Tribe album -- much better.

Keep this lovely gift from your wife in mind, LDB, when you review your thread of Nov. 3 (hint, hint, wink, wink). Exwitless, you're still now allowed to look!! :-)
