    Any Queensryche fans here?

    I stopped following their work after HEAR IN THE NOW FRONTIER. I've been heavily revisiting MINDCRIME recently. Out of curiosity I've been reading up on Geoff Tate & the band's history post-PROMISED LAND, and... WTF was the deal with the "Queensryche Cabaret"?! I cannot imagine being a fan who's actively followed their fall from grace.

    I've read up pretty thoroughly now on the interpersonal & legal feuds. But I cannot get my head around the "Queensryche Cabaret" clips I watched on Youtube. How anyone thought it was a good idea in concept or execution?!

      I think that MCA has some of the best rhymes on that album, though. "Go shave a sheep and knit yourself a sweater" cracks me up in a big way.

        I have actually never listened to Queensryche outside of my cousin playing them for me for 10 minutes. My cousin had the shittiest taste in music ever, though, so if he said, "Hey, check this band out", I would pretty much hate them before I heard the first note lol.

I thought maybe "Fang" was just a dud, but then it was confirmed that they lost me when I picked up "Damage". Haven't tried anything since.
            I'd agree with this but did really enjoy Freedom Tower-No Wave Dance Party 2015.
            Rock! Shock! Pop!

                Since I sold all my YES albums back in the mid 70's when I discovered The Ramones and The Clash I had to refresh my memory of the album on Youtube and while I never really loved it I thought it had a few good songs.
                It was just easier to pick the "shark" point when Trevor stepped in similar to when Adrian Belew did for King Crimson and Ronny Wood did for the Stones.

                The Tormato tour was brilliant, though, since it was the last time all the original members where together and at their peak.
                Like the Who's final tour the technical show and performance was brilliant.
