Queensryche To Perform With Orchestra

artist: queensryche date: 06/17/2008 category: upcoming tours

According to AnybodyListening.net, QueensrŸche will perform with an orchestra (dubbed the "Empire Orchestra") for the first time ever on August 23, 2008 at the White River Amphitheatre in Auburn, Washington. The concert will be part of Seattle station KISW 99.9 FM's Pain in the Grass 2008 event, also featuring Seether, Shinedown, Sevendust, Drowning Pool, Jet Black Stare and Earshot. Tickets go on sale Saturday, June 21 through Ticketmaster.

The fifth installment of Blistering.com's QueensrŸche retrospective "I Remember Now: The 20th Anniversary of Operation: Mindcrime" is now posted and features an in-depth interview with guest vocalist Pamela Moore.

To read the article, go to this location.

Compiled by noted QueensrŸche historian Christa Titus, the series will feature interviews with members involved in the album's creation, plus perspectives from two other relevant sources. With topics ranging from guitarist Michael Wilton's initial displeasure with the album's mix and singer Geoff Tate's assessment of how TV helped sell "Mindcrime", to bassist Eddie Jackson's take on dealing with new-found success and drummer Scott Rockenfield's intimate details of the band's rehearsal space, "I Remember Now: The 20th Anniversary of Operation: Mindcrime" is one of the first complete and comprehensive looks at one of rock's most intriguing concept albums and the players involved in it.

Fan-filmed video footage of QueensrŸche performing the song "Walk in the Shadows" live on May 16, 2008 in São Paulo, Brazil can be viewed at this location (clip uploaded by YouTube user "rychezilla").

Meh. Shouldn't queensryche just stop already? Mindcrime was amazing, but it is dfefinitely a case of the whole being a LOT greater than the sum of it's parts. The album just happened to come together, a big part of it was the time, the politics, etc.

I mean, the band has never done anything as good before or after...

True, Mindcrime was their peak, but later albums, especially Empire, were good too. I think that will be a good concert, songs like Revolution Calling, Empire and Another Rainy Night will sound really good with an orchestra.

Great band. I personally like how they kinda did their own thing (minus Silent Lucidity). When everyone else was all about drinking and getting some and partying, Queensryche was doing something real.
