EmpireQUEENSRŸCHE recently finished recording the drums for its new album at London Bridge Studios in Seattle, Washington with producer James "Jimbo" Barton — the man who engineered and mixed the band's classic 1988 LP, "Operation: Mindcrime",Cheap Cleveland Indians Jersey Jerseys, and its 1990 follow-up,Cheap NFL Jerseys, "Empire", and co-produced 1994's "Promised Land". The rest of the music and vocals are being laid down over the coming weeks at several different facilities on the West Coast.In a posting on his official Facebook page, La Torre — who is also a member of Florida melodic metallers CRIMSON GLORY — wrote last month: "People stare speechless [when we play 'Queen Of The Reich' live], because they are shocked to hear the song performed well, a song that 'broke out' this legendary pioneering band." He added,Cheap Tampa Bay Rays Jersey Jerseys, in a what appeared to be a dig at the man he replaced,Cheap Colorado Rockies Jersey Jerseys, Geoff Tate, "Shame on anyone to deny the music that garnished fans in the first place and still resonates 30 years later."Asked by Rock Show Critique in a recent interview with why QUEENSRŸCHE rarely performs "Queen Of The Reich" live despite it being one of the band's most popular tunes, Tate said, "Actually,Wholesale Jerseys China, it's not very popular at all. It's funny, actually — a lot of people don't know about that song. A lot of people don't care about that song. It's an early song that was written and it shows. It's funny the reaction you get, because it's a lot of blank stares. In fact, it's the same stare you get when you play a new song that nobody's heard before. People just aren't that familiar with it. Given there are a few hardcore fans that might know that song, or like that song, and know what it is, but the majority of the people there don't. So it's not really a song that I enjoy singing,Cheap Baltimore Orioles Jersey Jerseys, strictly because, lyrically, it's pretty adolescent. It was the first song written thirty-some-odd years ago and obviously I cannot relate to it anymore. I think, for performance, it's always best for the performer to really believe in the material they're singing or playing. If you don't believe in it,Cheap San Francisco Giants Jersey Jerseys, it's really difficult to get behind a song,Cheap Chicago Cubs Jersey Jerseys, do it well and do it at a level that comes across with any kind of believability. For me,Wholesale NFL Jerseys, I honestly can't relate to the whole dungeons-and-dragons lyrical content of that song; it's really cartoonish and juvenile to me."Video footage below shot and edited by Dave "Ravage" Stabley |
