Geoff Tate’s Queensryche, featuring Rudy Sarzo on bass, Robert Sarzo on guitar, Kelly Gray on “flying V” guitar, Randy Gane on keys, and Simon Wright on drums, touring in support of the 25th anniversary of their seminal 1988 release Operation: Mindcrime, slammed down an energetic and exciting show at Atlanta’s Center Stage on Friday, January 10.
Queensryche – Geoff Tate and Robert Sarzo – at Center Stage, Atlanta, 10 Jan 2014
“This is the 25th anniversary of Operation: Mindcrime – good thing you are here; if you missed it this time, you’d have to wait another five years.” -Geoff Tate
Despite the ongoing legal saga between “the two Queensryches,” it’s clear any focus on it is set aside when the more important concern is the music. Unless this band are actors as well as musicians, they obviously were happy playing together and outside problems were not affecting the performance on Friday of Tate and his experienced lineup.
Joining Queensryche was special guest opener Kickin’ Valentina, a bluesy-hard-rocking quartet – “If your a fan of Marshall stacks and double kick drum attacks, if you’re a chick who loves hot licks, if you like your ROCK to RUMBLE like LOUD pipes, then get ready” – who not only riled up everyone with their driving beats before the main event, they also allowed the photographers to shoot pretty much their whole set – much appreciated.

How fast Obama spoke out against the government of one of the nations states must be because it is more dangerous than Libya situation?Wisconsin must scare Obama and his Union buddies more than the middle east Dictators using deadly force on it's own citizens.Collective bargaining is so much bigger issue for the President's job security than the crisis in the middle east. Thanks for high oil prices, Democrats.

We have about 3 Million people unempolyed and more than 8 Million in Hartz4 (its like wellfare) and then there are the people who are looking for work but dont get countes as unemploey like a friend of mine, he says its just too much information you have to gie to the Gov to get the wellfare -1Was this answer helpful?

True, but it’s a different age now. The puilbc has been spoiled by the instant gratification of the internet. And entities that wish to sell products (like record companies, and many bands) have made samples of albums available well in advance. Hell this is an album that’s not even recorded yet!I suppose in today’s economic climate, one good strategy is to try and lead the pack.But another strategy would be the one you suggest. Don’t join the pack. Just put out a fucking album cover, a title, and say, The new album by Queensryche , and let the people go nuts waiting to hear it.
