        _Screaming in Digital______________________________Editor's Note_

                Well, here it is May already.  In this issue, there's a
        bit more about favorite songs, groups that sound similar to
        Queensryche, the best-laid plans of Queensryche fans going awry,
        dreams and aspirations, and upcoming releases to look forward to.
                Life in my corner of the world has become a bit more
        hectic of late, though I don't even have any final exams.  I 
        guess it's some kind of empathy for those who do.  Anyway, this
        digest got done about 3 AM on Monday.  There are a few more GIFs
        on the FTP site, and one of these days, I'll upload the most
        recent version of the discography.
                Rogue has made the decision to go to University of Puget
        Sound officially now, so we will be relocating to Tacoma WA later
        this summer... right down the freeway from Queensryche.
                One of the unfortunate points of my being short on time
        is that some of you are waiting for me to give you information
        about possible summer connections.  I've been able to dedicate
        only a small amount of time to that so far.  Therefore - if you
        have a request in, and have not yet received information in
        return from me, please send me some way to contact you as soon as
        you receive this.  Address, phone number, whatever.  I do still
        plan to find out for as many people as I can, it's just going to
        take a little while.

                Radio station KILO 93.9 in Colorado Springs says that
        another concert video will be put together by the end of the
        summer or early fall.  It is supposed to be a compilation of the
        Building Empires tour.

                I read about Ray Adler dreaming about opening for

        that too.

                Sunday the 26th, a show about rock stars and environment
        was aired on the radio.  They said and it included interviews 
        with Queensryche.  I was going to record it, but someone broke my 
        dorm window in, so I was distracted.  If anyone did record it I 
        would like to get a hold of a copy.

        tjs107@psuvm.psu.edu (Sime) writes,
                Any news about Queensryche's next album at all?  In est,
        release date, content, title, et cetera?

                        year, or early next year.  I wouldn't be at all
                        surprised if they released it right before the 
                        holidays.  It's going to be "darker" than Empire

        Group 1 (Brian, Paul, Steve, Christine, Ross, Kinga) write,
                MTV has stopped showing Most Wanted.  They've replaced it 
        with something called Hanging With MTV and it has nothing to do 
        with playing requested videos, or at least that's what it looks 
        like.  They were continually saying last week that Most Wanted 
        would stop being aired.  Don't you hate MTV?
                We fooled around too long trying to put 'Queen of the 
        Reich' in the number one spot, because MTV's most wanted is gone 
        forever.  Oh well, better luck next time.
                My roommate just called and said that Dial MTV played
        'Silent Lucidity.'  Did people call in the right song?  Did MTV 
        f*ck us all over and not play what we requested?  Inquiring 
        rychesters want to know!!!
                I could never get through to 1-800-DIAL-MTV. Then again, 
        I've never _ever_ gotten through to it in my life!  It's always 
        busy!  Did anyone get through?  I was not able to find out or 
        watch MTV, but did a Queensryche video get played?  I think that 
        Dial MTV thing is bogus anyway, it doesn't really work, they 
        play the videos that they are paid to play, probably.
                I have a quick question about this Most Wanted thing. I 
        assume it doesn't come on at 10:00 PM eastern time anymore 
        (that's when I went to tape it last night and got Rock 'n' Jock 
        instead).  Did MTV play the old stuff or are they a fraud as most 
        people figure anyway. 
                Did anyone succeed in calling eMpTyV?  I tried so many 
        times and the line was always busy.  I have not seen 'Queen of 
        the Reich' or 'Gonna Get Close to You' videos at all.  I suspect 
        that it is not really for people to call in and vote, just another 
        way of making people believe that the latest Michael Jackson 
        video is the most hip thing to see over and over again.  It's 
        hard to believe that anybody would like to see it couple of times 
        a day for months.

        jlee@weird.miami.fl.us (Jason) writes,
                I campaign for voting for 'Eyes of a Stranger;' It's a 
        cool song/video, and I want to get it on videotape.  Hey, now
        that people seem to be more interested in heavy rock, we might 
        actually spark interest globally in 'Eyes of a Stranger' again.
        Well, at least nationally.  Who knows?  EMI might even have to 
        re-release the single.  A man can dream, can't he?
                        {Why don't you just go to the music store and buy
                        "Video: mindcrime," it's so much easier.  -sh}

        _Spreading the Disease_________________________________Resources_

        dwb4025@summa.tamu.edu (David) writes,
                I got a copy of the "Ryche and Roll"  bootleg, and on it, 
        Pamela Moore actually sings the role of Sister Mary on state, and 
        Geoff tells the crowd to give her a hand.  This might help end 
        some of the argument as to whether or not she really sang it.

        jlee@weird.miami.fl.us (Jason) writes,
                I still I haven't heard Queensryche's rendition of 
        'Scarborough Fair,' and I'm bashing my head in the wall for not 
        doing so.  I still reallly think Queensryche could very 
        profitably produce an album of all their B-side tracks.  Seeing 
        how, in contrast with most other singles I've ever seen, 
        Queensryche's B-sides are almost as much worth buying the single 
        for as the actual song being released as the single, in some 
        cases even more.

                I'm glad to hear my GIFs came out okay.  Wow, I'll be
        famous, having my picture with Scott.

                        on Glia.  Unfortunately, I didn't have the time
                        to figure out how to rotate them so many remain
                        sideways.  -sh}

                If anyone wants to know the whole story about Chris and
        Michael's training, try to obtain "Guitar Player" magazine, Nov. 
        1991. (it has RUSH on the cover).  It should not be too hard to 
        find, as long as you know where to look.

        _The Whisper__________________________________________Discussion_

        kinga@sd.cadence.com (Kinga) writes,
                As far as the favorite bands go (besides Queensryche), 
        mine are The Beatles, Queen, Metallica, The Stranglers, Rush, 
        Talk Talk, Yes, old OMD and so many other different bands.

        ewk102@psuvm.psu.edu (Eric) writes,
                Queensryche is only my second favorite band - I am a 
        diehard fan of Led Zeppelin first. As far as other bands I listen 
        to most frequently: U2, Iron Maiden, Pink Floyd, Rush, the Cure, 
        Ministry, Metallica, Metal Church, Nine Inch Nails, the Scorpions, 
        MSG, Pearl Jam.  Basically, what I look for in the music I listen 
        to is solid bass lines, excellent vocals, intense lyrics, 
        outpourings of emotion, and a tight band that sounds like they're 
        on the same wavelength.  Bands I dislike are the antithesis of 
        this mindset.  Since some bands don't actually make music, they 
        don't even count.  Pop in general lacks all of these traits.

        kinga@sd.cadence.com (Kinga) writes,
                Since I saw many people mentioning other bands sounding 
        like Queensryche, I would like to ask about Fates Warning output.  
        I have their latest CD "Parallels" and I read that they have at 
        least one more album out.  Is it also similar to Queensryche 
        material or to "Parallels?"

        jebusha@uccs.edu writes,
                Anybody who loves the style Queensryche plays or similar 
        music styles will love a band called Lethal, and their album,
        "Programmed," and an excellent group called Fates Warning, with
        the album, "No Exit."  Both are awesome.

                "Dr. Davis telephone, Dr. Davis..." hospital voices can
        be heard also on the latest Phish album.
