                Greetings!  Bit of a full issue this week, so I won't say
        much.  The only note is that I'm planning to visit the screen
        printing folks today, so those of you who've sent in for T-shirts
        can be happy, progress is being made.

        _Neue Regel___________________________________________What's New_

        LAST ACTION HERO        mark.badolato@asu.edu (Mark)
                My girlfriend heard on the radio the other day that 
        Queensryche was doing the soundtrack for Arnold's new pic.  They 
        didn't say much, nor did they say if Queensryche was doing the 
        entire soundtrack or just a few songs.  I seem to recall hearing 
        about a new album this summer, so maybe that's what it is.

        SOUNDTRACK              ip15085@portland.caps.maine.edu (Kevin)
                I was watching MTV the other night, and they mentioned 
        that Queensryche was going to have a new song on the "Last Action 
        Hero" soundtrack, coming out on June 8th.  The name of the song 
        is 'Living in the Real World.'  Aerosmith, Alice-n-Chains, AC-DC, 
        and Megadeth are also going to have songs on the soundtrack.
                        {I believe Fishbone will also be on the 
                        soundtrack.  -sh}

        _Speak____________________________________________Correspondence_

        LAST TIME IN PARIS      om1ey3@greenwich.ac.uk (Mike)
                The only reason I bought the re-issue of 'Silent 
        Lucidity' was that 'Last Time in Paris' was on it  (Even though 
        it is a wonderful picture disc).  It's a _good_ song, by that I 
        mean an interesting departure from their usual style.

        VIRUS MINDCRIME         ian.ellison@um.cc.umich.edu (Ian)
                The virus discovered at Dartmouth was almost certainly 
        written by a Queensryche fan or someone who had at the very least 
        heard of that album.  Although as any '1984' fan knows, 
        'crimethink' or (as it is sometimes misquoted) 'thought crime' is 
        a more commonly known term (or maybe not, judging by 
        Queensryche's newfound success and the dearth of literate youth) 
        but 'mindcrime' is a Queensryche term exclusively as far as I can 
        tell.

        FAN CLUB IN UK?         om1ey3@greenwich.ac.uk (Mike)
                Are there many members of the US Queensryche fan club in 
        the UK?  If so, what's the delay in orders/newsletter delivery 
        like.  And is anyone a member of the UK fan club, and could they 
        answer the following questions....
                What is the UK fan club address?
                What is it like compared to the US fan club?
                        {I didn't know there was a distinct UK club.  The
                        main club has over 8,000 members worldwide.  -sh}

        QUEEN OF THE REICH VID  joe.siegler@u2u.lonestar.org (Joe)
                At the end of the video for 'Queen of the Reich,' it says 
        something about "To be Continued."  Was it ever followed up on?  
        I was curious to see what other videos are around from that era, 
        because the next vids I ever saw were from "Rage for Order."
                        {No, they never did make a sequel to that video.
                        A performance video of 'Nightrider' is on the
                        "Building Empires" tape.  -sh}

        _Roads to Madness__________________________________________Shows_

        NEXT TOUR OPENERS?      mikkolaa@iscmed.med.ge.com (Al)
                All this talk going on about Queensryche's opening acts 
        (no I won't mention any names :) brings up the question, "Who 
        would everybody like to see as opening act on Queensryche's next 
        tour?"  It seems as if we would have a few votes for Dream 
        Theater, which would be OK with me.  However, if I had my choice, 
        I would definitely pick Fates Warning.  Their style is similar to 
        Queensryche's and their lyrics are "intelligent" - I think they 
        would fit in great with Queensryche.
                I know Ray Alder (Fates Warning's lead singer) has 
        expressed interest in touring with Queensryche in the past, so 
        you wouldn't have to twist his arm too much.  I personally would 
        kill to see this combo live!
                        {Personally, I'd like to see what I'd term a
                        prog-a-palooza show, with Fates Warning, Crimson
                        Glory, Dream Theater, Rush, Queensryche, and any
                        other prog-rock or prog-metal bands -sh}

        _Spreading the Disease_________________________________Resources_

        OVERSEEING OPERATION    om1ey3@greenwich.ac.uk (Mike)
                I have a vinyl 10 inch condensed version of "Operation:
        Mindcrime," and I was wondering if it is a rare edition.
                        {I strongly suspect it's the "Overseeing the
                        Operation" item, in which case, yes, it's a
                        rarity - rarer still outside Europe.  -sh}

        OVERSEEING OPERATION    gerhard@jason.nl (Gerhard)
                The "Overseeing the Operation" 10" has been released in
        Holland (only limited), and since it was in my 'even less money
        than today' days, I didn't buy it (stupid, stupid stupid), later
        I saw it on some record fairs, but asking prices were way too
        high for me (bastards).

        OVERSEEING OPERATION    dwb4025@rigel.tamu.edu (Dave)
                As far as the "Overseeing the Operation" disk is 
        concerned, it is fairly rare.  I have just found a copy of it 
        which is autographed by all 5 members, but it is a rare item, 
        and i would recommend that people out there pick it up if they 
        see it around.

        BUILDING EMPIRES IN OZ  s1170796@giaec.cc.monash.edu.au (Phillip) 
                I still can't believe this.  After listening to everyone 
        talking about how great the "Building Empires" video is with the 
        film clips, unplugged, etc, I still can't believe it is not 
        available in Australia yet.  Does anyone know what EMI are 
        playing at?
                It seems whenever I ask my local record store about it, 
        they have no clues on when it is coming out, and the only reason 
        they know it exists is because I have told them about it.  Does 
        anyone in Australia have the video?  Maybe it is a conspiracy 
        against us on a national level.

        _The Whisper__________________________________________Discussion_

        BASIS OF THE WARNING    gerhard@jason.nl (Gerhard)
                As for "The Warning" being based on Sci-fi albums, that 
        would be completely new to me.  I'm reasonably proud of my 
        collection of old Queensryche interviews and such (only all of 
        them are in Dutch, so don't ask for transcriptions and such), 
        and it isn't mentioned there.  Actually "The Warning" isn't 
        discussed much in them, accept to say that it was f*cked up in 
        the mix.

        MEANING OF THE WARNING  vhalen@acs.bu.edu (Brian)
                I, myself, am also wondering what 'The Warning' is all 
        about.  When I originally bought it about 2 years ago, I 
        listened to it about, oh, 1/2 a time.  I couldn't get through it 
        because it was so bizarre.  But I listened to it a lot this past 
        weekend, and it's actually pretty decent, but there's some stuff 
        I don't understand, like, 'NM 156.'  What's that about?  Sorry
        if these are frequently asked questions, but I'd like to know.  
        What's the theme here?  Please fill me in.
                        {"The Warning" is generally viewed as being an
                        album about rather nasty future possibilities, a
                        warning, if you will, against humankind taking
                        courses of action which would lead to the things
                        mentioned in the songs.  -sh}

        _The Killing Words_________________________Babble Interpretation_

        DOCTOR BLAIR AGAIN      dwb4025@rigel.tamu.edu (Dave)
                Another sighting of the "Doctor Blair" blurb from 
        "Mindcrime" - it is now used in an AT&T commercial.

        ANYBODY LISTENING?      bellivea@ctron.com (Alan)
                If you listen to the _whole_ of 'Anybody Listening,' at 
        the end during the thunder storm you can hear some voices.  It 
        kinda sounds like Geoff and a woman.  I can't make out what they 
        say and that's what's bothering me.  Does anybody know what is 
        being said there?  So basically, is anybody listening?
                        {Many theories have been offered about what's
                        said there, but no one seems to be sure.  -sh}

        _Breaking the Silence__________________________None of the Above_

        FORTUNE & LORDBANE      robr@kdx200.enet.dec.com (Rob)
                Last I knew, Fortune no longer played covers.  I used to
        love them when they were a cover band, but I find their originals
        rather boring and straight forward.  As far as the singer, hardly
        incredible.  He's improved since his last band, but he always
        looked and dressed like whatever Geoff was doing at the time.
                Last night though I just heard a demo that really
        impressed me: Lordbane (yes, named after the Stephen R.
        Donaldson book).  Cool tempo changes, great riffs, killer vocals.
        Great stuff.  Also, FYI, Fortune will be playing with Kansas this
        summer at the Hampton Beach Casino.

        OUIJA                   smm@uunet.uu.net (Steve)
                I was at a Dream Theater concert in Virginia Beach, and 
        their opening band, Ouija, was pretty impressive, especially 
        considering their singer had been with them for only a month.  
        They did a pretty good cover of 'Walk in the Shadows,' as well 
        as a couple other covers, but the other 8 tunes were all 
        originals, and in general pretty good.  Unfortunately they did 
        not have any demo tapes or anything as of yet, but I'm watching 
        out for anything.  I'll be down there this weekend, so I'll see 
        if I can dig up any dirt from the local record stores.  The only 
        "bad" thing about the band was that while their guitar player was 
        pretty impressive, a lot of the riffs sounded like they needed a 
        second guitar before they'd sound complete.  Their singer looks 
        like Barbara Streisand, too.  Great set of pipes though.

        VINI DOMINE             jebusha@uccs.edu (Jim)
                Vini Domine is a new Christian progressive metal band 
        from Sweden.  This band is the closest I've ever heard to 
        Queensryche.  The singer's voice is a clone of Geoff's.  Anybody 
        that likes Queensryche, Fates Warning, Dream Theater will love 
        this band and should give em' a try. 
                        {Insert usual "may be offensive to satanists"
                        disclaimer.  Oh, and I guessed at the spelling,
                        based on my limited knowledge of Latin.   -sh}

        OTHER COOL DIGESTS      gerhard@jason.nl (Gerhard)
                I dunno if the first-name last-name bit works when 
        subscribing to echoes, the advised use is:
                "To subscribe, unsubscribe, or get your subscription 
        changed, do the following:
        1) send mail to  echoserv@fawnya.tcs.com
        2) put one of the following commands in the body of the message:
                for "real-time" mode: add echoes
                for "digest" mode: add-digest echoes
        3) end your message with the command "quit."  This stops the 
        parsing of the file, so that no error messages are generated 
        for material which follows (e.g. your .sig)." (quotes from the 
        welcome message you get when subscribing).

        DREAM THEATER           om1ey3@greenwich.ac.uk (Mike)
                Yet another Dream Theater fan here!  I saw them at the 
        Marquee last month, and I have to say that I have never benn 
        blown away so much by a band until I saw Dream Theater.  In fact 
        I remember thinking - thank god there are still bands about that 
        play like this.  James' voice is kinda rough on stage, but then 
        most 'screamers' are.  "Images and Words" is a great album, but 
        they can do better, like putting the instrumentals that they 
        play live on an album, its possible that there might be a live 
        album about soon, as they were recording the Marquee gig that I 
        was at.  Any Dream Theater fans out there, feel free to drop me 
        a line.
                        {Hope you've joined up to Ytsejam, their digest,
                        it's quite good, I recommend it.  -sh}
