I love dredg so much, I could see going back and doing more in detail album reviews at some point, but we'll see.

Random Artist Feature: Queensrÿche (26 MINUTES)

Here's the latest in this new series of Artist Features on YouTube.

I really chose Queensryche to feature next per that large collection of singls/eps/designed Vinyls and posters I acquired in the last 2 years. Most of them from that 1 store out in Eagan, Cedar Cliff Collectibles

The length is also largely a product of the amount, as I would guess if I had just covered my take on each studio record, it would have only been between 10-15 minutes tops.

And I wish I could have found my copy of Promised Land, but I didn't have hours to spend hunting for it among my cds. I found the large books I got when I acquired these 2 200-300 Jukebox cd players from BestBuy in the 90's, but alas, it along with my other Queensryche cds, were not in there.

Per a comment on there and from Jammindude, I recall being urged to check out Condition Human, which I may finally do again. I remember putting it on 1 day this Fall and finding it okay at best. But I suppose part of my issue is, as it's been with other bands, is how similar the singer may sound to Geoff Tate may ruin it for me.

Per the ProgPowerUSA festivals and some of the bands at the early ones I attended, a lot of bands had singers that sounded almost exactly like Geoff Tate, which always ruined their music for me. Even Power of Omens, who I do enjoy, and Zero Hour eventually, both had singers that did, and it was always difficult for me to not be bugged by.

But maybe after all these years, and it actually being Queensryche themselves, may make a difference for me. I guess I'll see.

dredg - The Making of Catch Without Arms DVD?

12/27/12 1:36PM (Mountain Time out here in AZ)

http://dredg.com/store/product/making-of-catch-without-arms

haven't downloaded or watched it, but it's great to finally have it come out. Now the HISTORY of the band thing? who knows if that'll ever happen, but I'm happy to see anything at this point.

3/24/12 7:32PM



been talked about for years, hopefully this footage which Drew Roulette, their bassist, uploaded a few days ago is a sign the damn thing finally will be available. Whether it's a just Making of CWA or the "History of the Band" thing he told me and some others about a few years ago, I guess we'll find out. That footage looks like just CWA stuff, but anything at this point would be great to finally see.

STATEMENT FROM DREDG ABOUT MARCH 22nd - AVALON SANTA CLARA SHOW

Also, we're going to playing all of our album Catch Without Arms, from front to back, we well as some other songs. But we've never done that and we thought it'd be a good selling point. If you want to promote the show that way as well go for it. I would suggest then using any songs from the Catch album for the radio spot. Looking forward to it!

I wish I could go, but I can't see it. But witnessing songs like "Hungover on a Tuesday" and "Matroshka" live, are a couple I've never seen but wanted to.
