operation: mindcrime is excellent overall. the lyrics happen to be great. if they were bad, i'd probably have a lot of trouble stomaching the whole project
search that album.

OK, I only really know Operation: Mindcrime and Empire but I like them fine. Just put on Mindcrime.

saw recent footage of them on...one of these cable stations that shows a fair amount of live music, I forget its name. They were doing "I Don't Believe In Love" on a big outdoor stage, and they were killing it - dude is still in great voice, and the overall presentation of the song was so smart - really musical, subtly dynamic, just so grand. First time since childhood that I've seen live footage of a band and thought "I'd really like to hear a live album by these guys."
xpost we are listening to the same album right now!!

the spoken/rapped? interlude in "spreading the disease" is so over the top & great
― cosi fan whitford (underrated aerosmith bootlegs I have owned), Wednesday, 30 May 2012 03:35 (11 months ago) Permalink
The first three albums and the s/t EP are all pretty much perfect in my opinion. And the social commentary on Mindcrime ("Spreading the Disease" a prime example) was leagues sharper than any metal band at the time.

i loved operation mindcrime when i was in maybe 5th or 6th grade? it seemed like a cool sci-fi comic book or something. i dont remember much about it. i just remember doing what they told me...told me... told me...told me...

Another rave for O:M here. Would recommend Mindcrime II to anyone who hasn't heard it. Much better than skeptical preconceptions would have suggested.

I had forgotten how awful the album cover for Empire was. W/r/t the break-up...seems oddly late in the game for dudes to hand-wringing about "musical direction". Like, yr already in Queensryche, dude that ship has sailed.

"I write 81% of the music and the lyrics. Of the 144 songs that Queensryche has released, I've written 116 of those."
He only comes across as 81% douche, too. Who has those stats at the front of their mind, even if you did probably put them in the lawsuit?

The punch also hit my right eye which had a contact lens in it. My contact jostled and I was trying to get it back in place so I could see. I told him to get away from me, but he kept pushing his chest into me calling me 'Pussy, f**king pussy! What, are you going to cry?' My eye was watering from my contact, I couldn't see clearly, and I pushed him away. Then Scott Rockenfield (our drummer) came down and told him to get away from me. Geoff Tate then threw another punch at me, but I ducked and it hit Scott Rockenfield right in the face (his mouth area). Scott Rockenfield told him to back off and then Geoff Tate punched Scott Rockenfield again in the face. At this point our tour manager, Fozzy O'Hare, pulled Geoff Tate away and one of our guitar technicians, Kenny Bender, helped me by getting a cold water bottle on my face to stop any swelling or redness. Geoff Tate came back over and called me a 'pussy' and a 'crybaby' again. I told everyone I needed a minute until I was able to get my vision back and I was moved to the other side of the stage until the crew felt they could get the situation under control. I then told my guitar technician, Gino Bishop, to get a towel to wipe off all the spit on my guitar that kept coming from Geoff Tate.
every single name in this passage is made up, right?
