Line 1: {{~~work~~creator}} [[File:94_promised_land.jpg\|frame\|I AM I!]] A [[Progressive Metal]] band from Seattle, Washington, best remembered for their epic [[Rock Opera]] ''[[Operation Mindcrime]]'' and for their Top 10 single "Silent Lucidity". The band's lineup for the majority of its career was: Line 13 ⟶ 12: They also frequently worked with the late [[Michael Kamen]]. Starting out as something of an [[~~Iron Maiden (Music)\|~~Iron Maiden]]-esque Euro-metal band, [[Queensrÿche]] has experimented with many different sounds and styles over the course of their career. For example, for their second album ''Rage For Order'' they utilized highly industrialized orchestrations (dubbed "techno-metal"); and ''Hear In The Now Frontier'' featured a raw, stripped-back sound with little to no audio effects other than natural overdrive for the guitars. Albums such as ''The Warning'', ''Mindcrime'' and ''Empire'', meanwhile, featured comparatively straight-forward arrangements. Like most hard rock bands from [[The Eighties]], Queensrÿche's popularity waned in [[The Nineties]] with the rise of grunge (which, ironically, has its roots in Queensrÿche's hometown of Seattle). Nonetheless, Queensrÿche continues to record and tour, although founding member Chris DeGarmo left the band in 1998 to pursue personal interests. While a number of musicians have worked with the band in his absence, a permanent replacement has yet to be hired. ---- {{discography}} ~~Discography:~~ * 1983 - ''Queensrÿche'' (EP) * 1984 - ''The Warning'' * 1986 - ''Rage for Order'' * 1988 - ''[[Operation ~~Mindcrime\|Operation:~~ Mindcrime]]'' * 1990 - ''Empire'' * 1994 - ''Promised Land'' Line 35 ⟶ 33: ----- {{tropelist}} ~~=== Queensrÿche provides us with examples of: ===~~ * [[Author Tract]]: Some segments of both ''Mindcrime'' albums can get this way.

To quote their commentary: "After that is when we grew our hair long... so no one would recognize us!" * [[Retail Therapy]]: Invoked in their song of the same name, about a character who's only happy when he's buying new electronic gadgets or apps. * [[Rock Opera]]: ''[[Operation Mindcrime]]'', and its sequel. * [[Stalker ~~With~~with a Crush]]: "Gonna Get Close To You" and "Walk in the Shadows". {{reflist}} [[Category:Musicians]] [[Category:~~Queensryche~~Queensrÿche]] [[Category:Music]] [[Category:Pages with working Wikipedia tabs]]
