                Greetings, all - the countdown has officially begun!  I'm
        going to leave it at that and let those who heard the news first
        explain below.  This is, of course, the last issue for June.  For
        those who don't know already, SiD doesn't take holidays, so next
        week's will be out on July 4th, that being Monday, as usual.

        _Neue_Regel_______________________________________News_&_Reviews_  

        New Album               Don <ai699@yfn.ysu.edu> 
                I read in the latest Foundations magazine that the 
        working title of the new album is "The Promised Land."  Usually 
        95% of the time, they are right.  Since I work for a music store,
        I had a chance to talk to the representative from Capitol (CEMA)
        and they had no definite release date for the new one.  When 
        "Empire" came out, I had it in my hands 1 and a half months 
        before street date.  If that happens again, I will be sure to let 
        you know.

        Release Date            Kevin <ryche@delphi.com>
                The Foundation Forum announced the title and release date
        for Queensryche's latest.  The disc will be called "The Promised 
        Land" with a release date of August 20th, 1994.  Also announced 
        is the first date of their headlining tour, beginning September 
        5th in Los Angeles at the Foundation Forum.
                        {If it's released the 20th, it will actually be
                        in stores on the 23rd, due to the Tuesday release
                        laws here, right?  -sh}

        Doctor Davis on 20/20   Kimberly <operator@commsales.east.sun.com>
                I spotted another Dr. Davis/Dr. Blair announcement.
        Sunday night on 20/20, they were speaking about women who own
        guns.  The scene was a rather serious one, showing a woman 
        doctor who had been attacked in the past.  I found it rather 
        hard to take it seriously when I heard the announcement in the
        background.

        CD-ROMs                 Terry <lab_helmts@vesper.emcmt.edu>
                I watched a MTV news segment about rock stars doing 
        computer CD-ROMs.  Currently Peter Gabriel, Billy Idol, and
        Prince have them out.  They mentioned that Heart has one out 
        containing bios and other band info.  After hearing this, I was 
        wondering if this is similar to what Queensryche is also
        putting out with their new one?  Also I would like info on where 
        to get the CD-ROM from Heart.
                        {From what we've heard, Queensryche's will be
                        similar to that.  Try a big music store.  -sh}

        Rage Bootleg!           Paul <pcrossma@avid.com>
                I was in a local record shop, and pow! a Queensryche boot
        with all kinds of stuff from "Rage for Order."  What's the date?
        1986.  Yes, a Rage bootleg!
                The title is "Queensryche: Queen of Rage," and the
        running time is 64:21.  The listed tracks are 'Intro/Neue Regel,'
        'Surgical Strike,' 'Warning,' 'The Whisper,' 'London,' 'Chemical
        Youth,' 'Walk in the Shadows,' 'Queen of the Reich,' 
        'Nightrider,' 'Deliverance,' 'The Whisper,' 'Gonna Get Close to
        You,' and 'Take Hold of the Flame.'  The first 8 were recorded in
        1986 in Japan, and the last 5 were recorded September 26, 1986 in
        Toronto.  As an extra added plus, right before 'Queen of the
        Reich,' they play 'Rage for Order.'
                There seems to be no label of any kind on the disk or the 
        packaging.  This is an audience recording, and I'd say that it's 
        a little bit better than "Ryche and Roll" for sound quality.  I'm
        open for trades on this one, and I also have 4 other Ryche CD's 
        that might interest people.  If you are interested in trading, 
        I'm very hot for Night Ranger, Extreme, Rush, and some others.

        _The_Whisper__________________________________________Discussion_

        Tribute Bands           Stephen <sgorny1@umbc2.umbc.edu>
                I have to disagree with the comments made in the last 
        issue and side with Geoff on this one.  I think tribute bands, to 
        quote Beavis & Butthead (for the only time in my life) "suck," 
        and have no creative talents whatsoever.  Now, I have nothing 
        against bands playing cover tunes in the clubs and bars; many of 
        these bands are working on original material.
                However, so-called "tribute bands" are something 
        completely different.  They are musicians (and I use that word 
        loosely) who do not have one iota of creativity or, in my 
        opinion, talent - how much talent does it take to play just like 
        someone else?  Any schmuck can learn to play anything.  But to 
        create an original piece of music - now there's someone with real 
        talent.
                        {Of course, the average "schmuck" can't learn to
                        play Queensryche, at least not well!  Anyway, 
                        this is heading away from being topical, so if
                        anyone wants to argue whether tribute bands suck,
                        please take it to e-mail.  Thanks!  -sh}
