QUEENSRYCHE IN CONCERT:
For more than three decades, progressive metal veterans Queensryche have been pushing the genreās boundaries with their ambitious sound and electrifying performances on tour. At their staggering live shows the band takes the stage in all black, delivering powerful rock anthems like āSilent Lucidityā and āJet City Womanā beneath a giant banner bearing their signature peregrine falcon-likeTri-Ryche logo. Former Crimson Glory singer Todd La Torre joined Queensryche in 2012 and the band hasnāt missed a beat since, thrilling fans with extensive touring tirelessly and a return to the studio in 2015. Whether theyāre rocking out to early favorites or playing cuts from their self-titled 2013 album, Queensryche always treats ticket buyers to an unforgettable concert experience full of potent tunes, virtuosic musicianship, and classic metal showmanship.
BACKGROUND SNAPSHOT:
Queensryche formed in Bellevue, WA in 1982 from the ashes of local band The Mob. They received an early break when UK rock mag Kerrang! got wind of their demos and wrote a glowing review. The growing buzz in both the UK and the US led to impressive sales for their 1983 debut EP, and the following year the band released their debut album The Warning to a spot on the Billboard 200. Following a tour with Kiss the band released their 1986 sophomore album Rage for Order, a gold-certified outing that showcased a more polished rock sound. The band reached the pinnacle of their success in 1990 with the album Empire, which peaked at No. 7 on the Billboard 200 and spawned the Top 10 rock hits āSilent Lucidityā and āJet City Womanā. Since then Queensryche has weathered numerous lineup changes while continuing to release records and tour with metal mainstays like Iron Maiden and Judas Priest. In 2012 former Crimson Glory singer Todd La Torre joined Queensryche, and he continues to helm the band as they bring their distinctive brand of metal-infused power balladry to fans around the world on tour.
Great show, just wish they would have played more from Mindcrime and Empire. I understand it was called The Origins tour but only 1 song off the 2 albums that really made them huge back in the day....
QR definitely took hold of the flame! They havent missed a beat, and any true fan of the band (past or present) will get to see something truly spectacular!!
Best concert ever. These dudes really put on a great show and playing these songs from the first 2 albums was a treat. Thanks for the lasting memory š¤
The lead singer was great! He could really belt out the tunes! The band was tight and sounded fantastic!
Thank you for having such a super show of my fav.bands from the greatest times in music
A great show from Both Queensryche and Armored Saint š¤. I loved QR origins tour set list. AS set list was great to. Both bands were on the money. The venue at Kalamazoo State Theatre is cool as well. Staff there had lines moving smoothly. I would see a show there again.
Well, I've been a big Queensryche fan for years, Seen 'em several times in concert. I knew nothing about Armored Saint and looked forward to checking them out. I'm an entertainer / musician and love loud music. I also love good clean sound, nothing like I experienced at this show. When asked about the show I pretty much told everyone it was "2+ hours of noise". If the crew running sound thought it was good, well, maybe time for a new sound company. The musicians - awesome. At least I think they were, could not make out much of anything. Drums did however come through quite well and man, Casey Grillo was the highlight of the evening for me. Fantastic. Somewhat disappointed in Queensryche setlist-only early EP's (as advertised) but ZERO material from Empire and beyond. The venue is beautiful.
Both Bands, Amored Saint and Queensryche were so loud, unless you really knew the songs, you had no idea what they were playing. The bass was so loud it literally pounded my heart and my ears are still not normal. I'm 60 years old, a life long drummer and grew up in bands, I love loud music but this was ridiculous. If it was the State Theaters problem, I will never see another concert there. We paid a lot of money to sit up front, security did nothing to keep people from coming up and standing in the aisles or in front of the stage. People were smoking dope in the aisles and acting poorly. Our experience was horrible. I only gave 1 star because it was the lowest.
Great venue in Kalamazoo...great staff...show was AWESOME!!
I was so excited for this concert, close to home and my first time hearing them perform! I was floored by the quality of sound and lights! Love this arena too!
