Queensryche questions
I'll be hanging out with the guys from Queensryche on Wednesday the 18th of October 2006. What I would like is to have all of you come up with questions for me to ask of our multi platinum rock pioneers.
What do you want to know about the business? Equipment? Song writing etc. and I will interview them and post their responses here.
This is a good opportunity to make thefret.net something special because nobody else will have this info like we will. So think and post.

Ask the guitarists:
"If you were marooned on a desert island (with electricity!) and could only have one of your guitars and one of your amps with you, what would they be? Why?" Any guitar or amp they've ever owned , not just current equipment.

Revolution Calling
At the time Queensryche's seminal album Operation Mindcrime came out (original release date 5/3/88), glam / pop metal was at the height of its musical debauchery. Seeing this from a marketing perspective, it would be interesting to know what their record company at the time initially thought of the idea of releasing a "concept album". Better yet, amidst the lure of easy money and sold out tours - - what mindset was the band in when they entered into the studio to lay the tracks down for Mindcrime?
Lastly, for those of you who are not familiar with the band, or the previously mentioned album, now might be a good time to acquaint yourself.

Ask them if they want to join the fret.net
I can't say that I've given up on a flanger cause I've never liked the effect either. I also can't say the same about Tremolo. I hate them both equally. - Tone2TheBone 2009

That is a given. Since they fit our demographic.Ask them if they want to join the fret.net

Sure, I've heard of them, but I'm not familar with the band. So I can only ask general questions like:
Where did the name Queensryche come from? (although I'm sure some fretters already know that)
Who were your influences?
What music do you listen too?
Are there any new musical developements that you enjoy?
Can we see your gear?
O, & can Spud play your gear?
OK, off to aquaint myself.
-----------------------------------------------
I've just spent two minutes aquainting myself with their home page. No, I'm not finished yet, but I do have some questions:
Are you happy with Operation Mindcrime II?
Which one do you prefer I or II?
Is the story all wrapped up, or is there room for a third installment?
What do you think things will be like in 20 years?
-------------------------------------------------
How did you meet Spudz beautiful wife?
Does she have a Queensryche tatoo? If so where?
Do any of you have a Spudz beautiful wife tatoo? If so where?

Marty DiBergi: "This tasteless cover is a good indication of the lack of musical invention within. The musical growth of this band cannot even be charted. They are treading water in a sea of retarded sexuality and bad poetry."
Nigel Tufnel: That's just nitpicking, isn't it?
Regular Fretter
Jeez! That's some picture. It looks painful.
I ignored the whole glam band thing in the eighties.
I pick a moon dog.
Luke Skyrawker
Ha ha ha ha! What a hilarious picture. I bet they die when they are forced to confront it. Looks like I'll have to print it and take it with me.
Come on everyone! There is just tomorrow then I'm off to go see them Wednesday. Let's get some more questions.

I don't think anyone in the band has one of these.
