        _Screaming in Digital______________________________Editor's Note_

                Welcome back!  To the US fans - Happy Flag Day.  To Chris
        DeGarmo and Scott Rockenfield, happy 30th birthday!  Have some
        cake and ice cream, everybody.
                I've updated the FAQ (/pub/queensryche/FAQ on the FTP
        site at glia.biostr.washington.edu) to reflect the current state
        of things regarding Queensryche.  If anyone's requested it from
        me through mail and has not received it, please contact me at
        queensryche-owner@pilot.njin.net and I'll send you the latest
        version.  Of course, if you can use FTP, that's the best way.
                For those who've been keeping track of these things, I
        picked up the t-shirts Wednesday, and mailed all that had been
        paid for on Thursday and Friday.  Shirts will be shipped to 15
        other people when payment is received - if you think you might
        be one of them but aren't sure, mail me!  Any checks or money
        orders should be made out to Dan Birchall.  As I mentioned last
        week, if you didn't order one, it's too late now for this time
        around, but if there's enough interest I might get some more made
        in the fall semester.
                Odd request: Any readers in the Houston area, e-mail me.

        _Neue Regel___________________________________________What's New_

        READERS POLL            dwb4025@rigel.tamu.edu (Dave)
                Scott Rockenfield got 5th place in the hard rock
        category of a readers poll in Modern Drummer magazine, I believe.
        There was a small photo of him in the magazine for it.

        READERS POLL            birchall@pilot.njin.net (Editor)
                Pulse! magazine's readers poll of the best 100 album
        length releases of the last 10 years listed "Rage For Order" at
        number 60.  No other Queensryche albums were listed in the top
        100.  Perhaps all the fans who consider "Rage" the best album
        came out of the woodwork.

        _Speak____________________________________________Correspondence_

        REAL WORLD              dwb4025@rigel.tamu.edu (Dave)
                'Real World' came in at #10 on the Z.Rock 50 this past
        Sunday night (the 6th).  I talked to a DJ at the local radio
        station here, and he said that they were receiving the singles
        from the new soundtrack one at a time rather than the whole
        soundtrack at once.  So there is a separate Queensryche single,
        at least for promo at radio stations.  So, there should be some
        out in the market for collectors to track down.

        REAL WORLD              ryche@delphi.com (Kevin)
                I must put in my two cents as well about their latest
        release, 'Real World.'  For all of you out there I am pretty
        disgusted!  I believe the song is great!
                If I can remember correctly the band did mention that
        they will be exploring a new direction with their upcoming album
        And if this is the way they want to go, I'm all for it.  You
        rarely see any band that has such a diverse music talent for
        doing both heavy metal and slow contemporary (ballads if you
        will) music.  The song may not be the best they've written, but
        then again how many songs have they written that are that slow?
        ('Silent Lucidity' and 'I Will Remember')  I think they've done
        a great job.
                And for all of you that do not like the song, thanks for
        giving the band a little credit for showing off their talent.

        REAL WORLD              jrh@sunset.cse.nau.edu (James)
                I finally got the "Last Action Hero" soundtrack last
        night.  The other music isn't too bad.  Finally something
        different from Def Leppard.

        REAL WORLD              birchall@pilot.njin.net (Editor)
                One thing that hasn't been mentioned so far about
        'Real World' is that it was written by Queensryche _and_ Michael
        Kamen.  In the case of 'Silent Lucidity' the song itself was
        written by Chris, and Kamen was called in for orchestration, but
        in this case, he was apparently involved throughout the entire
        songwriting process.  I'm glad his style and Queensryche's style
        are so compatible!  It might also be worth noting that his being
        the composer for the movie's music probably had something to do
        with Queensryche being asked to contribute a song.

        AMSTERDAM BOOT          nresrep@peele.bas.ncsu.edu (Rob)
                I have a boot from Amsterdam recorded in Edenhall,
        November 29, 1990.  It is similar to "Operation: Livecrime", but
        it has 'Silent Lucidity' as the final track.  The closest I could
        find is the "Anarchy X" bootleg mentioned in the FAQ.  With no
        title on the CD, am I correct in assuming that this is it?  Also,
        what might it be worth?

        BUILDING EMPIRES        wouter@stack.urc.tue.nl (Wouter)
                I was at a local record shop and the owner told me that
        he had 2 video's of Queensryche, both "Building Empires," but one
        was an European and the other an American version. They looked
        different, but the owner could not tell me what was different.
        Can anyone tell me?
                        {If nothing else, the video standards should be
                        different.  NTSC for USA, PAL for Europe.  -sh}

        RELICS                  ryche@delphi.com (Kevin)
                I too have been digging in my attic to find old relics of
        Queensryche memorabilia.  I found a red cassette tape that on the
        front says 'A Message from X.'  When I played it, it was Dr. X
        promoting the upcoming release of "Operation: Mindcrime."

        OPERATION EMPIRE        nresrep@peele.bas.ncsu.edu (Rob)
                I recently found a copy of the "Operation: Empire" box
        set.  I was wondering if it was worth the $90 tag on it.  The FAQ
        said it went for about $110, but I would like to know, is it
        worth the price?  I do like to collect rare items, but can
        anybody tell me if it is worth it, outside of only 1000 being
        printed?  Whats the deal?

        _The Killing Words________________________________Interpretation_

        REAL WORLD LYRICS       birchall@pilot.njin.net (Editor)
                The lyrics of 'Real World' - well, the best guess I've
        been able to assemble from what people have sent me and my own
        observations - are now availble via FTP.  The primary site as
        usual is glia.biostr.washington.edu (128.95.10.115), the file is
        /pub/queensryche/lyrics/1993/real.world (The directory will be
        renamed when the new album comes out).  The file will be mirrored
        to Dave Datta's music FTP site at cs.uwp.edu, where it will be in
        /pub/music/lists/queensryche/lyrics/1993/real.world.

        _Anybody Listening?______________________________________Adverts_

        OPERATION EMPIRE        William.Williams@um.cc.umich.edu (Bill)
                If anyone knows of any place that they can find
        "Operation: Empire," please send me a message and let me know.
        I'm possibly interested in buying it.

        VIDEOS FOR SALE         mjgiles@ucdavis.edu (Jason)
                I am moving and trying to get rid of some stuff. I want
        to keep them, but hey, I can only carry so much.  Anyways, in
        slimming down my collection, I have decided to sell my
        "Operation: Livecrime" box set for $25, which includes shipping
        and my other live video (which I hear is out of print) for $30
        (including shipping).  If you think those are too high, make me
        an offer.
                        {I'm presuming that the "other live video" is
                        "Live in Tokyo."  -sh}

        _________________________________________________________________

                And thus concludes the spring... we got the obligatory
        one Queensryche song to tide us over - and keep us foaming at the
        mouths - until something more comes along.  See you all this
        summer (next week, before you panic), and, of course,
                'Ryche on!
