Press Release
EMI/Capitol Records Set to Release Queensryche's Classic Live Set
``OPERATION: LIVEcrime'' Featuring Two Bonus Tracks
HOLLYWOOD, Calif.--(ENTERTAINMENT WIRE)--June 28, 2001-- EMI/Capitol
Records announced the release of Queensryche's ``OPERATION:
LIVEcrime'' on CD with a companion DVD slated for release before
Christmas. 
The CD was originally released in a box set with a VHS video in 1991.
The set became an instant collectors item for fans and sold more than
260,000 copies. Slated for Sept. 25 release, this marks the first time
that fans will be able to purchase the CD on its own, and it will be
the first Queensryche DVD release ever. 
This value-added CD reissue boasts two bonus tracks, ``Roads to
Madness'' and ``The Lady Wore Black.'' The DVD will contain commentary
by lead singer Geoff Tate in which he discusses the original album and
concert. 
Originally from Bellevue, Wash., the five-member band now resides in
and around Seattle. Queensryche's music is commonly called progressive
metal, blending the sounds of progressive rock bands like Pink Floyd
and heavy metal favorites like Judas Priest and Iron Maiden. 
Former guitarist Chris DeGarmo once said, when describing their music,
Queensryche is ``the alternative to alternative.'' It is this blend
and provocative style that has earned Queensryche a place in metal
history. 
Since 1983, Queensryche has released an indie EP that sold 60,000
copies and seven full-length studio albums, many of which are gold,
platinum and multiplatinum. Most recently, Queensryche released
``QUEENRYCHE GREATEST HITS'' on Virgin Records in 2000. The CD landed
on the billboard charts and was supported by a successful U.S. tour. 
Always hungry for more, Queensryche's sizable cult following is
certain to be delighted with the release of the classic, ``OPERATION:
LIVEcrime.'' 
When ``OPERATION: LIVEcrime'' was deleted in 1998, the last remaining
copies were lapped up by collectors. The rare CD has consistently
fetched top dollar at record conventions and Internet auction sites.
Recorded during their 1988 tour, ``OPERATION: LIVEcrime'' is an
in-concert replication of the band's ``Operation: Mindcrime'' album. 
In an effusive review, the Rolling Stone Album Guide described
``Operation: Mindcrime'' as ``a full-blown concept album that spins
Reagan-era media manipulation into a nightmarish vision of the
future.'' It was this multiplatinum, Grammy®-nominated album that put
Queensryche on the map. 
The ``OPERATION: LIVEcrime'' line-up consists of vocalist Geoff Tate,
guitarists Michael Wilton and Chris DeGarmo, bassist Eddie Jackson and
drummer Scott Rockenfield. Queensryche maintains a strong fan base.
Guitarist Kelly Gray recently replaced DeGarmo.
