News: Queensrÿche to Perform Operation Mindcrime in the UK

Queensrÿche - Revolution Calling Queensryche Links Live Nation - QUEENSRΫCHE JUNE 2008 UK TOUR http://www.noblep... “This is the most extensive stage show we have ever put together. Working with the actors and creating the different scenes helped us to really tell the story. Between ritualistic execution, working prostitutes, motorcycle crashes and everything in between, we are able to really draw the audience...

Imagine my surprise when I found out that not only are the progressive and operatic metal band Queensrÿche are alive and well - but they are actually going to be on tour! It's in June, which is quite a few months away, but perhaps if you want a guarantee seating, you should get your tickets early.

For those of you who grew up in the 90s, you might remember Empire and Operation: Mindcrime. Empire was especially accessible to a much wider audience outside of metal.

What's interesting about these recent tour is that these shows are basically Operation: Mindcrime performed live. If you've heard this album, it's kind of like a rock opera. The show will run about three hours, including an intermission and will also includes actors re-enacting the storyline.
