I think I semi-spammed this at the other place at one time. I know I used the eye rolling dude as an avatar once - but it was not for Nekoda - many of the avatars got all screwed up.

This song puts a stupid grin on my face :p

I'm listening to the "new" Queensryche in concert 2015 -

The songs are played well, the new singer is doing a good job and sounds very similar to the band's original...

and it's a tough crowd. I can't help but notice the overall lack of enthusiasm for the band/music.

I saw Queensryche live during their Mindcrime tour, at the pinnacle of their popularity - and it was an awesome show - really enjoyed. I enjoyed it because I enjoy their music and their message resonated with me - as with many fans.

It must be hard on the performers in the new line up - they are doing an excellent job - and mostly the audience seems very "ho hum". Why is that? Perhaps it's the perception that - because of the break up and only 3 original members - it's like listening to a semi-cover band trying to recapture the spirit of the original Queensryche? Or - just trying to milk the success of the past for all it's worth?

I don't like to say that - but that is partly what it feels like to me, and I wonder if this particular audience is under the same impression.

Me culpa (bold text). I just did a little reading and listening. I'm liking some of the new Queensryche stuff without the former members, and I also listened to Tate's band "Operation Mindcrime" - which didn't impress me much. When a band breaks up like they did, it's often just not the same - but I think many fans will warm to the new Ryche.

Geoff Tate really blew this one up, tbh, Which is too bad. Their musicality could have always been much better as well. I don't think they ever reached the potential they had.
