        _Screaming in Digital______________________________Editor's Note_
                Hello again!  Happy Columbus Day, Thanksgiving, and 
        Sukkot, to those who are celebrating.
                I continue to be in communication with EMI, but have no
        new news to report.  Maybe next week.
                In this issue:  "Building Empires," getting tickets, 
        "Operation: LIVEcrime," confusing videos, Queensryche's best
        songs, bands that claim to be Queensrychian but aren't, people
        without VCR's, and an actual QRYCHE net node.

                I stopped in Camelot Records, and inquired on the 
        "Building Empires" video.  They said the release date is November 
        3, not October 20.  It may have been pushed back yet again.  She 
        had no information on what it exactly entailed.

        kad@iris129.biosym.com (Kinga) writes,
                I'm preparing $18.69 to get the new video since that's 
        what I was told it will cost at Tower Records.
                        {I've asked at a couple of the mall stores around
                        here, and the going price in the malls will most
                        likely be $20 or less, also.  -sh}

                I saw a magazine for upcoming releases and "Building 
        Empires" was in there.  It did say that there are songs from the 
        Unplugged show.  I can't remember which ones but if my failing 
        memory works, all the songs from the special were there.  Can't 
        wait until the 20th.
                        {Yay!  Unplugged stuff!  -sh}

                Exactly what is on "Operation: LIVEcrime?"  Is it a full 
        length concert or a collection of videos and live performances?  
        I am considering asking for it for my birthday.
                        {"Operation: LIVEcrime" is a video and live CD of
                        "Operation: mindcrime," taken from the 1990-1992
                        Building Empires tour.  Some of the material on
                        the new "Building Empires" video will also be 
                        from that tour.  -sh}

        _Roads to Madness__________________________________________Shows_

        kad@iris129.biosym.com (Kinga) writes,
                I saw a band called Dr. X in a local club.  Before their 
        show, I asked the guitar player what the Queensryche connection 
        was.  Their songs were supposed to go in some conceptual flow.  
        But after seeing them play and listening to them I couldn't find 
        any concept at all.  In two words: they sucked.  I just wished 
        they'd change their name to something non-Queensryche related.

                I will be making a Queensryche sampler tape for someone. 
        I have 90 minutes of tape to squeeze in the best of Queensryche. 
        I want to show them off in the best way possible.  I would like 
        your suggestions.  Mail me privately via the above address. The 
        person I'm making the tape is a fanatic Rush fan if that helps, 
        and has never heard anything by Queensryche before. I know many 
        of you are also Rush fans.  I have all of Queensryche's albums on 
        CD, but I don't have any of the singles. I was kind of leaning 
        toward including mostly stuff from "Rage for Order" forward. Let 
        me know what you think.

                Regarding the tunnel/tube question in the video for 'The 
        Mission,' I figured that this was the barrel of a gun.  Don't 
        quite know what the statue face thing is, but the multicolors 
        seem to be the rifling inside the barrel of the gun.  I think we 
        know what the significance of the gun is, eh?

                Responding to Steve about the difficulty getting concert 
        tickets these days: I completely agree!  
                Sunday 10/4, U2 tickets went on sale here in San Jose,
        California.  They're playing in November at the Oakland Coliseum 
        where the A's play.  This place fits 60,000 people.  My husband 
        has heard that they put on an awesome show, visually as well as 
        musically, so he decided we should check them out.  The line was 
        ridiculous of course, but so were the phone lines.  All day off 
        and on I tried getting through because I also wanted tickets to 
        another concert.  Before the day was up U2 had sold out.  I'm not 
        too disappointed because I only like some of their music and only 
        own one CD by them, but I do think the situation sucks terribly!
                There are also many times when I don't hear about a show 
        until it's too late and it's sold out, or lots of times - 
        especially with Michael Schenker - the show is cancelled due to 
        low sales.  Don't these people realize that if we heard about 
        these shows we'd buy the tickets?  Basically Bill Graham Presents 
        ticks me off, as well as club owners and radio stations here in 
        the Bay Area of lovely California.  I swear I am just about to 
        give up on going to concerts at all, except of course for 
        Queensryche!
                I bought my mom 2 tickets to Neil Diamond for her 
        birthday and said that I'd take her and we'd have a girls night 
        out.  Those tickets were purchased back in June for a total of 
        $65.00 for October 2.  This was a total fiasco all because of 
        Bill Graham Presents being totally unorganized.  This show was 
        again at the Coliseum, but indoors.  There was a baseball game 
        that night also, so there was no parking whatsoever when my mom 
        and I arrived.  We were a little late, 5 minutes before the show 
        was to start.  There wasn't anyone telling the thousands of late 
        people where to park or anything.  Oakland is not a safe place to 
        be for anyone let alone two women who have no idea where they 
        are, so we couldn't just park far away and walk unless we had 
        weapons, which we didn't.  After driving around for 45 minutes 
        and finally finding a security guard we asked where we could 
        park.  The answer, "auxiliary parking."  Which is where?  "Over 
        the freeway, and shuttles will be bringing people over as they 
        can."  End of conversation.  Auxiliary parking was a joke.  
        Totally packed and only a couple of shuttles for all these 
        people.  My mom was furious so we left.  Down the drain $65.00.
                I think the whole concert situation is terrible for us 
        fans.  It's just big business like most other things.

        _Anybody Listening?______________________________________Adverts_

        holland@dutiws.twi.tudelft.nl (Gerhard) writes, 
                Since I'm in the no-money-for-a-video-player period in 
        my life, and since there is a Queensryche video coming out, and 
        since I have a cassette-player, the following question:
                Is there anyone out there, who is willing to tape the 
        video for me on cassette, as soon as it's released, or later?

        _Breaking the Silence__________________________None of the Above_

                In volume 50 of the digest, Paul Gallegos wrote that he 
        had added the members of Queensryche as moderators to his 
        VAXnotes conference.  He also wrote, "There is no DEC node QRYCHE 
        by the way, I made that up."
                I beg to differ!  Maybe on your school system there is 
        no QRYCHE, but here at Digital, I've had the nodename QRYCHE for 
        years, ever since I got my first workstation!  Although I usually 
        use my cluster alias, "dpe", you should also be able to reach me 
        at "starr@qryche.enet.dec.com".

                That's all for this week... everyone, if there are any
        thoughts in your head that might fit in here, please send them.
        I'd like to start building up a slight backlog of information, so
        the issue size can be kept a little more constant, instead of the
        current 300-percent size fluctuation.  Thanks....
