        _Screaming_in_Digital______________________________Editor's Note_

		Greetings, everyone.  The impossible happened this past
	week - I not only remembered to _call_ EMI, but they were nice to
	me and gave me information!  Unfortunately, it wasn't exactly the
	information we had been hoping for - the new material might debut
	at the Foundations Forum later this summer, but the release date
	will still probably be closer to the Christmas shopping season -
	they said November.
		They still don't have any details on the CD-ROM, either.
	But any delays on the album from here on out are purely packaging 
	and marketing, and not the fault of the band.

        _Neue_Regel_______________________________________News_&_Reviews_  

	New Album Too Late?	Squrille <c561423@mizzou1.missouri.edu>
		I found a reference to Queensryche in the latest issue of 
	Hit Parader, in a "Who's Hot and Who's Not" type of thing.  In 
	the news notes, they basically said that EMI and Q-Prime are 
	wringing their hands over the amount of time it is taking the 
	band to get this project done, and that they fear the band "may 
	have missed the window of opportunity" for this release.  
		So it seems like the people at Hit Parader are expecting
	the album to crash and burn.  Talk about planting a seed of 
	doubt.

        _Roads_to_Madness__________________________________Tours_&_Shows_

	Tour Plans		Paul <vanyel@crl.com>
		I confess, I'm pleased at the latest tour rumors.  While 
	a Dream Theater/Queensryche bill would have been great, separate 
	headlining tours are even better, since this means both bands 
	will get a full set on stage - not that Queensryche had anything 
	to worry about, there!  Plus, a Fate's Warning/Dream Theater bill 
	is also a heady combination.  :)

	Tour Plans?		Rob <rb747491@pucal.bitnet>
		I was wondering if anyone knows if Queensryche is really 
	planning to go out on Tour with Dream Theater.  If they do that 
	would be really great, I have seen both bands live and they both 
	put on tremendously awesome shows.  I have also heard that both 
	bands will be releasing new albums on the same day.  I hope that 
	both of these rumors are true because these two bands would make 
	one hell of a combination on tour.

        _Spreading_the_Disease__________________________Info_&_Resources_

	Equipment Lists?	Toby <frizelfry@aol.com>
		As an aspiring musician, I think it would be good to 
	somehow start up a discussion or database of the types of 
	equipment the guys in the band use, and maybe even send some 
	question their direction - if that's possible.  I personally 
	would like to find out about things like digital effects, 
	4/8-track cassette recorders, computer based studios, etc.
			{Well, I know they've got a ridiculous number of
			portable ADAT units.  -sh}

	Queensryche Sampler?	Shane <esbrown@miavx3.mid.muohio.edu>
		I have a Queensryche cassette that I have never heard 
	mentioned before.  It's called "The Queensryche Sampler" and 
	includes one song from each of the five releases.  The tri-ryche
	from "Empire" is on the cover - but it's varied in shape a 
	little.  Has anyone else heard of this?  How rare is it? 

	Comic Book?		Stephen <kahrs@hpbs3039.boi.hp.com>
		A couple of issues back, could have been months by now, 
	there was something mentioned of a Queensryche comic book.  Has 
	it been released?  For those of you who may be comic book 
	veterans, you'll have to excuse me - I'm a new-comer to the comic 
	book hobby.  Please e-mail me if you know of even the slightest 
	bit of info.
			{The 'Queensryche Double Special' comic came out
			at the end of March/beginning of April.  It
			includes the original Queensryche comic from a
			few years back, and adds material on "Empire"
			and "Operation: Livecrime."  -sh}

	Message from X?		Dawn <psycho@wpi.edu>
		I was wondering if anyone has a copy of something called
	"A Message from X."  It's a promo that was sent to fan club 
	members for the "Operation: Mindcrime" recording.  I'd like to 
	have it on tape.  If anyone is will to dub it or sell it, I would
	be eternally grateful.  I'll pay shipping costs and for the blank 
	tape for dubbing.

	Looking for Trades	Michael <mikeb@cs.brandeis.edu>	
		I am looking for trades of rare live tapes.  I am 
	interested in most hard rock and prog metal bands, including 
	Dream Theater, Fates Warning, Queensryche, Rush, Pearl Jam, Van 
	Halen, Satriani, Vai, Aerosmith, Coverdale/Page, Tesla, and STP. 
	Please reply directly to me and send a copy of your trade list.
	I will reply with a copy of mine.

	'Ryche-Influenced Band	Jamie <cs_ind23@oswego.oswego.edu>
		I heard a band in the Rochester, NY area called New 
	Religion that sounded heavily influenced by Queensryche.  They 
	don't do any actual covers, but they must have listened to alot 
	of Queensryche to get where they are now.  Hopefully, I'll have 
	an upcoming interview with the band and get to pass that along.

	Tribute Band		Jenn <pike1_jenn@bentley.edu>
		"Operation: Mindcrime," the tribute band, are pretty 
	good, actually great!  They played 'Nightrider,' 'Take Hold of 
	the Flame,' 'Walk in the Shadows,' 'Speak,' 'Operation: 
	Mindcrime,' 'Eyes of a Stranger,' 'The Needle Lies,' and a few
	others.  They didn't play them in any particular order and no, 
	they did not play 'Silent Lucidity!'
		They are going to be in Connecticut, New York, and New 
	Jersey so if you hear about them playing, check them out.
