yeah queensryche was one of the last real metal bands to blow up....empire was like the same time as nevermind, wasn't it?....in 91 everything is on life support....the whole pop metal thing has grown weak from within, except no one knows it yet....skid row's slave to the grind is the last hurrah, waterloo and then it's all over with....it's so fucking weird that queensryche ever got popular in retrospect....

Dude, that Dangerous Toys record rocked. HEY MAN I THINK I LIKE BEING SCARED.

Also rockin' for sixteen-year old PP: That Tora Tora album cover.

'scared' = one of the all-time great songs of that era, mostly because jason mcmaster didn't get all screechy

i couldn't handle tora tora at all, though.

ps i still have the trixter comic

i think the final nail in the coffin was 'the wild life' by slaughter, which i think debuted at #2 IIRC. it was in 1992, and i know 'nevermind' came out in '91 but i don't think it broke through until '92, probably right after the slaughter album.

a few years my brother worked at the movie theater in White Marsh and there was this car he saw in the parking lot every day, presumably belonging to an unidentified co-worker, that was just COVERED in Queensryche paraphenalia and bumper stickers. to this day we often ask each other: "Got 'Ryche?"

jason mcmaster

Wait, was he in nerdy tech-metal band WATCHTOWER?

It's scary that shit like this is still in my brain.

what the hell was the band with the midget then?

― strongohulkington, Tuesday, 20 March 2007 19:15 (nineteen years ago)

You know, it's funny, I've heard this lots of times and enjoyed it every time but I just d/l-ed because of this thread and the only parts I remembered were the chorus and pre-chorus. They're enough to carry the song. I love hearing this in the car when it's sunny. (And, no, the Tawny Kitaen video has nothing to do with that.)

Definitely not Rick Allen in the center there.

― Pleasant Plains, Tuesday, 20 March 2007 19:36 (nineteen years ago)

I've heard the Waterloo Sunset cover. Sounds just like the orininal, but through a really wet Mutt Lange filter.

― darin, Tuesday, 20 March 2007 19:38 (nineteen years ago)

I enjoy the keyboard/singing intro enough that it very much bothers me whenever the radio plays the version that starts with drums right at the beginning. So perhaps I actually do like this song more than I was prepared to admit. I also like the guitar solo, and the "HERE I GAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHH" part.

The 2nd half of the song is kind of a bummer.. it's just the chorus repeated over and over.

― billstevejim, Tuesday, 20 March 2007 19:52 (nineteen years ago)

HERE I GAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHH
HERE I GAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHH

The 2nd half of the song is kind of ~~a bummer~~ the best thing ever to happen to me.. it's just the chorus repeated over and over.

― nickalicious, Tuesday, 20 March 2007 19:54 (nineteen years ago)

this reminds me so much of being a kid, hanging out in the public pool. this was a massive summer hit; i'd wait for it all day. i'm pretty sure 9 year old me stomped around with great purpose whenever it came on the pool PA

― gff, Tuesday, 20 March 2007 20:02 (nineteen years ago)

This would have been senior year in high school -- but I really don't have much a connection to the song either way. It was just one of those things on the radio! I was loving Guns'n'Roses and Def Leppard more.

― Ned Raggett, Tuesday, 20 March 2007 20:06 (nineteen years ago)

High school = Queensryche (and aerosmith)

Silent Lucidity (and Wish You Were Here) got a 15-year-old me into playing guitar.

What a strange time.

― kingfish, Tuesday, 20 March 2007 20:15 (nineteen years ago)

Accept, motherfucker!

― unperson, Tuesday, 20 March 2007 20:19 (nineteen years ago)

One month I was standing in line at midnight to be one of the first kids in my town to own the Use Your Illusion albums. The next month, I had the Nevermind CD and on to better things. The fall of 1991 for me could be summed up by that cut scene in 2001 where the monkey throws a bone in the air and it turns into a spaceship.

― Pleasant Plains, Tuesday, 20 March 2007 20:20 (nineteen years ago)

:-D That's a beautiful description.

― Ned Raggett, Tuesday, 20 March 2007 20:23 (nineteen years ago)

1992 - I made my best friend Jason's older brother - drunk and laughing, in their basement den - piss his pants, playing a cover of "Silent Lucidity" while my other best friend Tyler yanked the whammy bar suggestively.

― nickalicious, Tuesday, 20 March 2007 20:27 (nineteen years ago)

haha wow i went up to mankato MN to stand in line for use yr illusion too!

later on that year we went up to stand in line for lollapalooza tickets!

― M@tt He1ges0n, Tuesday, 20 March 2007 20:35 (nineteen years ago)

i never knew about this idea that you had to 'choose' between use yr illusion and nirvana, but maybe we were slightly too young to understand.

― artdamages, Tuesday, 20 March 2007 20:49 (nineteen years ago)

You don't have to choose. But for me personally, once I heard one of them, it was hard to go back and listen to the other.

― Pleasant Plains, Tuesday, 20 March 2007 20:55 (nineteen years ago)

yeah lol kirdt lurn to plae gitar

artdamages on Tuesday, 20 March 2007 20:49 (16 minutes ago)

it wasn't like you "had" to choose......but at the same time it felt like things were changing, i was more drawn to other stuff....you had to be the "right age" probably though...i remember some friends of mine, dudes that still liked metal, giving me shit for wearing a beastie boys check yr head shirt.

― M@tt He1ges0n, Tuesday, 20 March 2007 21:07 (nineteen years ago)

"And that friend's name...was Chuck Klosterman."

i wish paul harvey posted here.

― M@tt He1ges0n, Tuesday, 20 March 2007 21:09 (nineteen years ago)

my dad had nevermind and i dubbed a tape copy. i was 10 in '92.

― artdamages, Tuesday, 20 March 2007 21:17 (nineteen years ago)

I remember a guy who loved the Ramones because, as he put it, "They never changed, man."

A certain beauty in that, but not what I'm after.

― Pleasant Plains, Tuesday, 20 March 2007 21:26 (nineteen years ago)

I really clearly remember waking up in the middle of the night and wandering downstairs to find my dad howmpfing White Castle burgers, watching MTV - first time I ever heard/saw "Smells Like Tine Spirit" (video). I was all "what's he saying?", and dad was like "what does it matter?".

― nickalicious, Tuesday, 20 March 2007 21:33 (nineteen years ago)

my dad had nevermind and i dubbed a tape copy. i was 10 in '92.

yep i was 16 or 17 which is a pretty big difference at that age.

― M@tt He1ges0n, Tuesday, 20 March 2007 21:48 (nineteen years ago)

HERE I GAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHH
HERE I GAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHH
HERE I GAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHH
HERE I GAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHH
HERE I GAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHH
HERE I GAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHH
HERE I GAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHH
HERE I GAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHH

I really only like that part because of its brilliant absurdity, which you've nicely demonstrated.

― billstevejim, Thursday, 22 March 2007 18:14 (nineteen years ago)

why does every pop metal thread devolve into talking about nirvana?

― artdamages, Thursday, 22 March 2007 18:15 (nineteen years ago)

well not just that, every pop metal thread says the SAME THING about nirvana.

― billstevejim, Thursday, 22 March 2007 18:17 (nineteen years ago)

i know! that's a great bit. i'm imagining it looped over and over again. i could listen to that for, like, a while

― gff, Thursday, 22 March 2007 18:17 (nineteen years ago)

i remember when we still lived in the old house, i had my entire room wallpapered with posters and cutout pages of circus, hit parader, metal edge, rip, etc....man i wish i woulda saved some of those...i remember i had a sweet one of the iron maiden stage setup for the somewhere in time tour.
