In the summer of the band signed a record contract with EMI and headed on several high profile tours with bands like Quiet Riot, Twisted Sister, and Dio.

Their debut album did fairly well on the Billboard charts reaching the No. The lyrics in the album also conveyed themes about artificial intelligence and technological ideas. The album reached the No. Although the band has had a few lineup changes and has experimented with different genres such as grunge, the band still regularly releases quality albums.

I have to hand it to Queensryche. They were on top of it. Musically and vocally flawless. Huge sound. Every bit as good as when I saw them with the original lineup in Smaller production, obviously, but fun and fitting. The new singer is phenomenal and very charismatic. Everyone was at the top of their game, and for a band that has been mostly together for 40 years, that is crazy.

The setlist was a great mix of new stuff and classic. The whole band was fully engaged and having a great time.

Very impressive show. John 5 was ridiculous. Jaw-droppingly amazing virtuoso talent. Normally I'm not super into guitar instrumental wankery, but he LOVES music, loves playing guitar and loves performing, and his energy is infectious. He also played banjo and what looked to be a kid's mini-scale First Act guitar. And, yeah, he was amazing on both. Crazy show, too. At one point he did a medley, which for some might've been cheesy, but he literally crammed like Who knows?

We all lost count. He is so good it makes me feel kind of sorry for his band, who are also ridiculously talented Freaking guy can do anything with a stringed instrument. He's so crazy good, it makes you feel like you've never even seen someone play the instrument correctly before. I didn't know tons about him before the show other than his work with Marilyn Manson and Rob Zombie , but he definitely made a fan last night. Unfortunately, Eve to Adam wasn't really my thing. I mean, they tried hard and seemed affable enough.

Just not my style. With song titles like "Straightjacket Supermodel," you kind of know what you're in for. They are all talented musicians, though, and certainly gave it their all. Not a bad bunch by any means, just not crazy about their music.

Read more. Report as inappropriate. They've long been a favourite of mine, and I've been fortunate enough to see them many times over their long and brilliant career. They opened with the powerful Blood Of The Levant off the new album, The Verdict absolutely brilliant album by the way. The crowd was rocking out and singing along from the first note. The rest of the set was a mix of more from the new album combined with lots of classic Queensryche spanning nearly their entire catalog.

I also can't say enough about how fantastic Todd LaTorre is on vocals. If I'm honest, he can sing rings around their former vocalist who shall not be named and sounds equally at home on their older stuff as he is on the newer material since he joined the band. Eddie Jackson is one of the best bass players in hard rock and metal and he takes up a lot of backing vocals and sounds great. The dual guitars of Michael Wilton and Parker Lundgren work well and they play off each other perfectly.

Casey Grillo formerly of Kamelot rounds things out on drums. They are still very much a top notch metal band and if you have the chance to see them, I highly recommend it. Although they have gone through various lineup alterations, the current lineup is a strong touring machine with great onstage rapport and a real ability to whip the crowd into frenzy with classic tracks.

The stage show is of little decoration but much to the delight of fans the amps are huge and the guitar riffs are unforgiving. The ageing band really does attack the stage with an unrivalled amount of passion and create an anthemic atmosphere during 'Eyes of a Stranger'.

Other highlights come in the form of 'Queen Of The Ryche' which sounds as momentous as when it was first released over three years ago as well as an extended version of 'I Am I'. They hold back 'Jet City Woman' for the encore so as to get the whole room singing along for one final time. Queensryche published the most beloved album 'Operation: Mindcrime' which includes some of the most famous work from the Queensryche discography.
