I can’t remember if they played Operation Mindcrime in its entirety but they certainly played at least most of it 😎 Pamela Moore is an American singer-songwriter, mixing hard rock, heavy metal, melodic rock and industrial musicwhile her earlier years delved into pop and electronica. She currently resides in Seattle, Washington. Pamela Moore Moore in 2013 QueensrÿcheEdit Moore has performed with Queensrÿche on several occasions, most notably on the song "Suite Sister Mary" on Queensrÿche's 1988 concept album Operation: Mindcrime. Following the album's commercial success, she started performing live with Queensrÿche, making her first public appearance with them on the 1990–1991 Empire tour, participating in the filming and recording of Operation: Livecrime, and later also on 2002's Live Evolution and 2006's Mindcrime at the Moore. In the studio, Moore revived her role as Sister Mary on the sequel album Operation: Mindcrime II, which was released in 2006.[1][2] Moore has also performed with the version of Queensrÿche fronted by Todd La Torre in 2012, and in 2013, she provided vocals on the song "A World Without" on their self-titled album Queensrÿche.[7] At that album's release party, she performed "Suite Sister Mary", "Eyes of a Stranger", and "Silent Lucidity" with them.[8] Only saw the Empire tour because they said they were playing all of Mindcrime live. Saw them open for Metallica a few years before that. But even better than those two shows was the Promised Land Tour. Never got any better than that for me. Last time I saw them live was the Hear In The Now Frontier tour which was ok, but I really missed DeGarmo. That was the last time I felt the need to see them live. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

From the debut up to Promised Land, I'd put them alongside Priest, Maiden, Blind Guardian, Rhapsody and Nightwish as my fave band that goes OTT. Oh, and Savatage. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Todem Posted October 18, 2022 Share Posted October 18, 2022 (edited) The new album is simply incredible. Best since Empire/Promised Land.....yeah it’s been that long since they had a complete album. And Digital Noise Alliance is it. Chapters Lost In Sorrow Behind The Walls Nocturnal Light Out of the Black Hold On Tormentum Are the giant slayers on this album. Not a single weak track.....not one. Everything sizzles. The playing is some of their best ever....and Casey Grillo on drums is the secret sauce. Best drumming I have ever heard on a QR record bar none. A tremendous production. The sound is fantastic. I own it on CD and it is amazing at very high volumes!!! No compression like streaming.....so damn good!!! Repeated listens....it keeps getting better and better. Todd Latorre was the best thing to happen to QR. I have been a dedicated fan since Rage For Order. I saw them open for Ozzy and was hooked. But Geoff Tate and the band went sour and south.....and it is what it is. Then Todd came along....and boom, a rebirth. There last three records with Todd have led to this masterpiece.

taurus Posted October 19, 2022 Share Posted October 19, 2022 Bought the EP when it first was available up in Canada and then bought every album when it was released up to Promised Land. That one I just hated for some reason. Never bought a QR album after that Operation Mindcrime/Empire are my faves but The Warning has great nostalgia for me, kind of my biggest metal obsession period for me. It was tough for me to hold on to Rush back then because I loved the metal so much in 83/84/85 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am game for a replay. I remember Empire and Promised Land both being exceptional, but I could be partial to Empire because I played PL less. But everything up to PL is pretty perfect to my ears. I haven't played the latest yet, the great reviews are very promising. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am overdue an early discography relisten. I really didn't like much after PL. I tried but nearly every album lost me like three songs in.

I was getting into other heavy bands at the time like Corrosion of Conformity and Cathedral which had a very different feel from QR. I haven't played Promised Land since it's release so I will try it out over the next week see if it was just me. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Todem Posted October 20, 2022 Share Posted October 20, 2022 I consider Promised Land their most progressive album. It is quite dark and moody. A really great record. #4 for me all time though. I actually have Digital Noise Alliance above it at #3 as I love this new record big time. OM and Empire are my 1 and 2 respectively. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
