I believe they go back to court in October. Hopefully it will all be resolved then. Yeah, the judge was a complete idiot making a ruling like that! I haven't liked much of anything by QR since Promised Land and even that wasn't that good, IMO. I love the old stuff and the boys are delivering that sound with Todd. We have tickets to see them and I can't wait!!

I completely agree with you about Queensryche Justin!! It is more than obvious who the true weak link was now!! I knew the minute I met them that things were going downhill fast and that Geoff was definitely the one holding them back. What still pisses me off is that Geoff is using the Queensryche name too. We almost bought tickets to one of his shows even though we KNOW what is going on. It had the other true Queensryche logo and didn't say, Geoff Tate the voice of Queensryche. We made sure to wait and see if it came up on their website and it didn't. Since Geoff can't sell tickets on his own, he is now scamming the QR fans and the venues and most of the fans have no idea what is going on or WHO they will end up seeing!! It's bullshit and it needs to stop!

Hey, Justin Kenny!
It did surprise me that the Westboro Baptist Church didn't show up. They probably knew better than to try to rile up already emotional Slayer fans. The cult would all be impaled and without a single survivor left to try to sue the attackers for "damages". I heard that they were going to Moore, OK to protest the memorial service being held for a child killed in that F5 tornado. Looks like they didn't even show up there, either.
As for Black Sabbath. The only new song I heard was "God is Dead?". The first three minutes were "meh", but the rest sounded good. I'll probably buy the album, but won't see them live. I prefer to keep my experience of seeing Heaven and Hell live in 2008 intact. Stupid idea? Probably.

I caught some pictorial and other visual accounts of Hanneman's service...I'd say they did a wonderful job celebrating his legendary career in heavy metal and honoring the very person he was.
It's also been unusual to see our beloved Rob Halford resorting to a wheelchair in recent weeks given his issues with his back, eh?! Thankfully, it doesn't sound like a terribly involved problem, and he's confident once the surgical procedure he needs is completed, he'll be just fine...so...good news there!
I know a lot of people are still up in arms about Bill Ward's absence in Black Sabbath. Admittedly, I too had hoped whatever needed working out or ironing out would've been done in time for his inclusion on their forthcoming album "13," but...as a quip I'd read from Tony Iommi stated, the issue of getting on with things reached rather critical levels--especially once he'd realized what he'd been diagnosed with. Having seen for himself how quickly things deteriorated with Dio, even for as positively Tony's responded to his own spate of treatments; I can't really say I blame him for pressing Bill to shit or get off the pot...if they'd waited, who really knows if we'd be celebrating any opportunity whatsoever to hear the original masters of metal make ANYTHING new ever again? I feel for Bill, and I've read a lot of what he's had to say about the whole affair, but these gentlemen too, are not getting any younger and time seems to be getting shorter and shorter with each passing hour!! In the grand scheme of things, I can only hope "13" will NOT be Tony's 'swan song' as "The Devil You Know" was for Dio (all that's been released since notwithstanding). I've heard "God Is Dead" and "End of the Beginning" from it so far, and I must say I'm very pleased with what I've heard so far!!
There's also a lot to be said regarding the whole "...two Queensryches" issue (you'll all forgive me for possibly recanting things you all may have commiserated about thousands of times over in recent months...like I said, it's been a while for me!!). I'll just say this much about all of that....I've listened to about 7 or 8 tracks from Geoff Tate's 'version' (from "Frequency Unknown")....and...in all honesty, even for all the talent he's got with him this time around...I'm every bit as nonplussed about it as I was with Queensryche's previous album "Dedicated To Chaos," which in my humble opinion--was dreadful...and as a fan, it irks me to say that. Conversely, I've only heard one track so far from the OTHER camp (now featuring Todd LaTorre...a great singer) called "Redemption," and it's got me VERY eager to hear what the rest sounds like! Sure, it could be argued that LaTorre sounds a bit 'too much' like what Tate sounded like from the days of "The Warning" or "Rage For Order," but it's abundantly clear that THIS is the sound much of the remaining long-time members of 'Ryche were looking for and wanting to do for a very long time. Seems Tate had himself too tight a pull on the reins on what was becoming a very worn 'horse,' and it was down to either feed it carrots and let it get lazier and fatter, or give it a royal smack in the ass and get that sumbitch back to running speed! The fans have (largely) responded...the eagerness to see 'Ryche tear it up with LaTorre seems far greater in scope.

De nada. You know, I read your last message first. Said that you bought the "two dvds" making me all but tear apart my own DVD to see if there was a second one in there! LOL! Message father down made sense. You bought 2 DVDs.
Funny as I don't like the "don't steal me bars" in DVDs / CDs so I pop the case and pull those suckers almost immediately. Had me scratching my head for 1/2 a sec wondering how I could pop the back off an not notice it was a two DVD pack! LOL!
Glad it worked out for you, compadre.

In the grand scheme of things, I can only hope "13" will NOT be Tony's 'swan song' as "The Devil You Know" was for Dio (all that's been released since notwithstanding). I've heard "God Is Dead" and "End of the Beginning" from it so far, and I must say I'm very pleased with what I've heard so far!!
There's also a lot to be said regarding the whole "...two Queensryches" issue (you'll all forgive me for possibly recanting things you all may have commiserated about thousands of times over in recent months...like I said, it's been a while for me!!). I'll just say this much about all of that....I've listened to about 7 or 8 tracks from Geoff Tate's 'version' (from "Frequency Unknown")....and...in all honesty, even for all the talent he's got with him this time around...I'm every bit as nonplussed about it as I was with Queensryche's previous album "Dedicated To Chaos," which in my humble opinion--was dreadful...and as a fan, it irks me to say that. Conversely, I've only heard one track so far from the OTHER camp (now featuring Todd LaTorre...a great singer) called "Redemption," and it's got me VERY eager to hear what the rest sounds like! Sure, it could be argued that LaTorre sounds a bit 'too much' like what Tate sounded like from the days of "The Warning" or "Rage For Order," but it's abundantly clear that THIS is the sound much of the remaining long-time members of 'Ryche were looking for and wanting to do for a very long time. Seems Tate had himself too tight a pull on the reins on what was becoming a very worn 'horse,' and it was down to either feed it carrots and let it get lazier and fatter, or give it a royal smack in the ass and get that sumbitch back to running speed! The fans have (largely) responded...the eagerness to see 'Ryche tear it up with LaTorre seems far greater in scope.

I know the slower part drives some fans nuts...but man...I absolutely love the mood in Iommi's guitar...and when it crescendos, it's enough to knock yer fillings loose!! LOL! What can I say...I'm a sucker for air-tight blends between bass and guitar, and precious few could ever aspire to do better than Butler/Iommi!!
I just listened to another new track from the forthcoming Queensryche CD (sans Tate)....it's called "Where Dreams Go To Die," and I'm here to tell you...I find it to be simply OUTSTANDING.....QR haven't sounded this vibrant and this cohesive since "Empire..." and for me, a serious QR fan, that's saying something. Todd LaTorre is doing an AMAZING job....hands down.
Also heard the title track from Megadeth's newest...sounds like it harks back a bit to the "Risk" / "Cryptic Writings" era...but boy...it's tough to forget all the same! Wonder what others are thinking about it if they've heard the whole thing...

It did surprise me that the Westboro Baptist Church didn't show up. They probably knew better than to try to rile up already emotional Slayer fans. The cult would all be impaled and without a single survivor left to try to sue the attackers for "damages". I heard that they were going to Moore, OK to protest the memorial service being held for a child killed in that F5 tornado. Looks like they didn't even show up there, either.
As for Black Sabbath. The only new song I heard was "God is Dead?". The first three minutes were "meh", but the rest sounded good. I'll probably buy the album, but won't see them live. I prefer to keep my experience of seeing Heaven and Hell live in 2008 intact. Stupid idea? Probably.

Three years gone by...and we've lost Ronnie James Dio, Jeff Hanneman, and recently--Ray Manzarek. Our heros are dropping with seemingly great regularity... ...I will say this much, however; I'm very glad the Westboro Baptist Chur....um...I mean CULT, neglected to show to protest Hanneman's Memorial service as they'd initially vowed....it could've gotten very ugly (in spite of Slayer's urgings to merely ignore the lot of them and spend time instead queuing up to get inside and celebrate Jeff's life and music). I caught some pictorial and other visual accounts of Hanneman's service...I'd say they did a wonderful job celebrating his legendary career in heavy metal and honoring the very person he was.
It's also been unusual to see our beloved Rob Halford resorting to a wheelchair in recent weeks given his issues with his back, eh?! Thankfully, it doesn't sound like a terribly involved problem, and he's confident once the surgical procedure he needs is completed, he'll be just fine...so...good news there!
I know a lot of people are still up in arms about Bill Ward's absence in Black Sabbath. Admittedly, I too had hoped whatever needed working out or ironing out would've been done in time for his inclusion on their forthcoming album "13," but...as a quip I'd read from Tony Iommi stated, the issue of getting on with things reached rather critical levels--especially once he'd realized what he'd been diagnosed with. Having seen for himself how quickly things deteriorated with Dio, even for as positively Tony's responded to his own spate of treatments; I can't really say I blame him for pressing Bill to shit or get off the pot...if they'd waited, who really knows if we'd be celebrating any opportunity whatsoever to hear the original masters of metal make ANYTHING new ever again?

the message this post is from someone you ignore or whatever just irritates me. if they just didnt show that would be nicer. I use the all messages since last here feature, and the ignore topic one just skips them, works great. but these tools cant confine their blather to one topic so thats out.

Agree w/ Guido's response.
I quit trying, it really isn't worth the effort.
Looks like only two options exist, ignore or leave!!!
Don't care to leave and without ignore who really wants to sift through endless posts in search of possibly one to resond to?
There isn't much going on here to really care about this but it's still annoying none the less!
