Queensryche's first full-length album for EMI, The Warning, (1984) was produced by James Guthrie, who had Pink Floyd's The Wall among his production credits. The acclaimed 1988 concept album, Operation: Mindcrime marked the band's entry into the mainstream by selling over a million copies. Empire, released in 1990, fared even better; the album went double platinum and produced the No. 5 single and MTV favorite, "Silent Lucidity."
Throughout their career the band focused on their live performances, honing a unique stage image, which included art-rock makeup and shoulder-padded, sequin-studded overcoats. They toured on the Monsters of Rock tour and released the live Operation: Livecrime in 1991. After a three-year hiatus, the band released Promised Land in 1994 and, despite the fact that many metal fans had made the leap to grunge, the album went double platinum and produced two hit singles, "I Am I" and "Bridge."
Hear in the New Frontier, Queensryche's seventh album for EMI, was released in 1997 and was supported by a nationwide summer tour. The band made a move to Atlantic Records for their latest album, Q2K, released in 1999 |

Oh i love Queensryche! Geoff Tate's voice is amazing, just the way he takes the music to a whole new level with his singing. And Chris DeGarmo is easily one of my favourite guitarists. His solos just inspire me to want to play exactly like that, great stuff. Favourite album - Operation:Mindcrime Favourite song - Empire |

But there will be more Queensryche dates coming soon so hopefully they will go down under. By the way Operation Mindcrime is a great song. I see you're making use of WinMx |

QUEENSRYCHE: OPERATION:MINDCRIME II
FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
QUEENSRYCHE FALL TOUR, PRESENTED BY VH1 CLASSIC, TO FEATURE PERFORMANCE OF LEGENDARY ALBUM 'OPERATION:MINDCRIME' IN ITS ENTIRETY ALONG WITH FULL, ENHANCED PRODUCTION INCLUDING LIVE ACTORS
A GREATEST-HITS SET WITH LIVE STRINGS ALSO PLANNED
BAND WILL ALSO DEBUT PORTION OF MUSIC FOR UPCOMING SEQUEL STUDIO ALBUM TENTATIVELY TITLED 'OPERATION:MINDCRIME II'
Art rock pioneers Queensryche will perform the classic album 'Operation:mindcrime' in its entirety on the upcoming fall 2004/winter 2005 tour, which is being presented by VH1 Classic. A "greatest hits" set will open each show, and at the end of the night there will be a preview of the upcoming Sanctuary Records release 'Operation:mindcrime II,' the working title of the long-awaited, eagerly desired sequel to the groundbreaking concept album. Audiences will be blown away by the Surround Sound audio setup on the tour.
Vocalist Geoff Tate, guitarist Michael Wilton, guitarist Mike Stone, bassist Eddie Jackson and drummer Scott Rockenfield will open each show with a "greatest hits" set ending with the smash "Silent Lucidity." Local orchestra string sections will perform with the band in select cities. Michael Igor Delassandra, formerly an official composer for the Vatican, will accompany Queensryche and perform on keyboards.
“The band is so excited to be performing 'Operation:mindcrime' in its entirety again after not having done this in 15 years," says Tate. "We are presenting it in a whole new way that finally does justice the intricacies of the story and the personalities of the characters.”
'Operation:mindcrime' will be recreated in full with enhanced production. Live actors will embody the fascinating characters of this chilling tale -- interacting both on stage and off. Vocalist Pamela Moore, who toured with Queensryche recently, will be back to provide the vocals of the album's pivotal character, "Sister Mary." New video footage will be incorporated as well. Queensryche also performed 'Operation:mindcrime' in its entirety in 1990-91, but this time around new and expanded video footage will be used. Fans who saw the show in 1990-91 will enjoy a more vivid experience this time.
One of the most exciting parts of each concert will certainly be the finale -- the preview of 'Operation:mindcrime II.' Fans have wanted a sequel ever since 'Operation:mindcrime' exploded and earned the band critical acclaim and commercial success. In particular, fans have always asked one burning question in relation to the 'Operation:mindcrime' plot: "Who killed Sister Mary?" The new album, scheduled for release in 2005, will address that question.
The North American tour begins in October 2004 and another run of dates is planned to start in January 2005. Upcoming dates include:
DATE CITY VENUE
