Queensryche questions

[Spudman]

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.R :R

Hey Spud out of curiousity what is it that you do to get to hang out with all these arteests, if I may ask?

 

[Spudman]

Can't tell you or I'll have to kill you.

OK. I'm the Potato Ambassador of Idaho. I give spuds to all people of stature including porn stars and small furry animals.

Sorry, I really can't say... and no I haven't been drinking.

Just give me some questions please.:R

The Flower King makes it so.

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.

 

[Spudman]

That's a good one Voodoo. Keep em coming everyone.

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.

 

[Spudman]

That's a good one too Nelskie.

You guys can put up as many questions as you want. No per person limit here.

 

[Mark]

Ok can you ask the lead guitarist why he invited The Spudman to meet them?

J/K just pullin yer chain ;-}

 

[Spudman]

Mark
That I can tell you...
My beautiful wife knows the band.

 

[SuperSwede]

Ask them if they want to join the fret.net

 

[Spudman]

Ask them if they want to join the fret.net

That is a given. Since they fit our demographic.

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.

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?

 

[Spudman]

Does she have a Queensryche tatoo? If so where?

Do any of you have a Spudz beautiful wife tatoo? If so where?

1. Yes. I'll put up a pic of it later.

2. Yes they all do. In their hearts. Awww .

Ask them what they think regarding the lacquer content in FINAL NET hair spray and if they feel any responsibility for the hole in the ozone. 6S9L

Jeez! That's some picture. It looks painful.

I ignored the whole glam band thing in the eighties.

 

[Spudman]

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.

 

[Spudman]

Does she have a Queensryche tatoo? If so where?

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

 

[SuperSwede]

Cool tatoo! Feel free to post more pics of your wife

Got any tatoos yourself? No wait.. it´s not a YJM tatoo? lol

 

[tot_Ou_tard]

Very nice!...& the tatoo ain't bad either!

 

[Tone2TheBone]

Cool tatoo! Feel free to post more pics of your wife

Yeah Spud by all means do post.

SuperSwede - LMAO...hopefully not one with the words Arpeggios from Hell.

 

[Spudman]

OK, ok. Now think of some questions for me to ask the guys.

 

[Tone2TheBone]

Spud - ask them if they're pleased with their work and the success that they've achieved and what they think they'll be doing in the next few years ahead.

 

[SuperSwede]

Ask them if they are going to play in Sweden... (and if I can get a free ticket + backstage pass )

 

[Spudman]

They were there this summer doing the big hard rock festival. Snooze you loose.

 

[SuperSwede]

ZZZzzzzZZZZ... somehow I must have missed that..

 

[Moshe]

Did he kill her or not?

Sister Mary that is...It's not THAT clear...

 

[Spudman]

Did he kill her or not?

Sister Mary that is...It's not THAT clear...

Suicide.
She did it, but it makes me wonder...how did she come back for the second album?

 

[Tone2TheBone]

..........................I remember now.

 

[tot_Ou_tard]

Soooo Spud.

How did the your night with Queensryche go?
