Queensryche Tickets

Queensryche was born in the Seattle suburb of Bellvue, WA, when original guitarist, Chris DeGarmo and high school, friend Michael Wilton decided to break out of cover-bands to record original music. Add the classically trained singer, Geoff Tate to the mix and it’s no surprise the reached the heights they did during the late ‘80s.

‘Ryche fans know there’s a lot more going on behind their music than the ‘80s-metal-band label that was given them would suggest.  These guys go far beyond the big hair and flashy guitar solos of then famous acts like Poison and Bon Jovi.

The “Operation Mind Crime II” tour will back the release of their 2006 album of the same title. This album is the sequel to their 1988 release, Operation Mind Crime. Both recordings are conceptual works telling the story of, Nikki an American male coming of age and coming to grips with the not-so black and white ways of the real world.

To celebrate the release of “Mindcrime II,” Queensryche's current tour finds the band playing both "Mindcrime" albums back-to-back in their entirety. The first show sold out so quickly at the Depot that a second show was later added for Nov. 28. This show is more than a concert. New video clips - and even actors - are part of this stage production, which lets audience members fully grasp what's going on with the story.” – Pat Reavy, Desert Morning News
