Queensryche & John 5 Take Over Emos With Iconic Performance! 20

Queensryche and John 5 at Emos on Riverside was this night’s agenda. I couldn’t be happier about this show. Personally, I have seen Queensryche with Geoff Tate, and Geoff Tate solo show. I have not, however, seen Todd La Torre as the lead vocalist. On that note, nor have I seen John 5 solo stage set. Of course, I have seen his ax-wielding glory on stage with Rob Zombie and Marilyn Manson.

The stage for John 5 was condensed and narrow on space due to the LCD screens that began to flash clips and distorted images of some iconic horror films. Next thing I know the string master and band take the stage. I’m not so familiar with John 5 solo work but damn did I become a fan after seeing this performance. From start to finish it was pure entertainment. With the aid of a few props, some extras in costumes, and an enchanting led lit guitar, this set stood out as one to embrace

A Set Never To Forgotten Was About To Embark The Stage

As the stagehands cleared the stage, we all knew the moment for Queensryche was quickly approaching. As the lights turned down, the band takes the stage. First on the list was “Launder the Conscience” that got the crowd up and moving out of their seats. After this, they rolled into “Prophecy” that got the blood running through everyone’s veins. Presumably one of the most iconic Queensryche songs “Operation: MindCrime” first few cords hits the guitar and everyone grasps what song it was and put their fists up and sang along word for word. You can feel the force flowing back and forth from fan to band and the night had just begun.

The band did a magnificent job of mixing up the new with the old..and giving everyone what they came for. “Walk in the shadow” is added great classic that hits home with the more seasoned fans and bringing back memories. Blending in some of the new stuff was great as well like “Bent”, “Dark Reverie” which was glorious to hear as well. For me and I think most of the people there were aching to hear the old music that they grew up listing to and singing in their cars like “Jet City Woman”, “Silent Lucidity“, and even going way back to “Queen of the Reich that got the crowd-drawing their fists and going crazy.

 Queensryche ended that show like only they could with three mega-hits that set the house on its ear and made for one hell of a show…Resistance, Empire and the last Eyes of a Stranger that everyone was holding and belting out at the top of their metal lungs!!

For me…This was one of the band best shows I have seen!! If you get a chance check them out!! you will not be disappointed in one hell of a rock show!!
