Operation Mindcrime best metal album of the 80s. Those guys were firing on all cylinders and what a phenomenal production. In my opinion. Let the hate commence!!!
3 weeks without any hate?! LOL. I would say one of the best but no way it beats an album or 2 by Metallica or Iron Maiden (2 bands that just popped into my head). I will say there vids were better than Metallica's and Iron Maiden's.
@@TheTracemann Damn that's tough but I would put Ten above Operation Mindcrime. That's cuz I'm more of a metal head. When I first saw PJ on MTV I was like that shit sucks and isn't heavy. Took me a year or so and a few views of the Jeremy video to really start liking to PJ. Pretty much everything after Ten wasn't as good. Needless to say I'm back on an 80's metal kick.
"The Wall", "Operation: Mindcrime", and "2112" are the best concept albums, EVER!!! (side note: stating the obvious, I know the song Michael's playing is on "Empire".)
Buck Norris, at no point in your rambling, incoherent response were you even close to anything that could be considered a rational thought. Everyone is now dumber for having read it. I award you no points, and may God have mercy on your soul.
I always thought that Michael Wilton was the glue that held together the band. Very good and informed guitar player. A real pro. Nice guy too. I love the new stuff.
I saw Queensryche in a local club called L'Amours East in Queens (NYC) in I believe 1985 or 86. Best live show I've ever seen. No voice like Geoff Tate will there ever be again. I've seen them more times than I can count since but that show will always stick out in my mind.
sorry but, you're selling an audio lab. by taking an amaising guitarrist, playing on a backingtrack and sound like that..... please be .....inspired.. youre selling the studio facilityes or the reccord sound??
Michael, good playing man... I've seen Queensryche twice, once at 15! Later years later at Bearfest in SLC. Loved both shows. Looking forward to seeing again now that I've raised my children and can go out on a weekend once more! By the way, The Verdict album is great. I really dig it! And, I've liked learning about your ESP guitars...you put a lot into them, custom pick ups, high quality bridge(do I remember floyd rose?)... anyways, keep rockin man. Great demo here... thanks for sharing! Kris
Michael can play Chris’s solos. But it’s not an ego trip, “ look what I can do session”’ it’s talking about his interest in the engineering side of things.
@@travisbarber5842 No. Michael cannot play Chris' solos. They are two completely different guitar players. Because Mike is so much more stacatto and scale based, he's more easily 'cloned' by any other technical player. Chris had a thing. A sauce. Gilmour has it. Gary Moore had it, and a few others. Chris was in that league. This is 100% why QR stopped making new material that crossed over genres. Chris' special sauce on all those parts, not just the solos, were gone. You can play Chris' notes, and so can Michael. But neither you, me , or Michael can play his music. It came from his soul, not muscle memory. Only he can reproduce it accurately enough to label it a DeGarmo solo.
M2S Virtual , well said, after Chris left, live shows weren’t the same. Nobody could fill Chris’s shoes. His tone was unique. In this demo Michael is not only off time, but flat. God bless him and he was a good partner in the dual leads, but as you said, Chris was on that rare level. Tate / DeGarmo / Rockenfield all masters in their own right.
Hello Mr Wilson..........big fan here,,,,,Promised Land,,,,almost over Empire!!!?....😯😯😐😐...wow ,what a room...great to see this interview.......peace,,,,pat,,,land o' lakes,wi....(I bet you have your volume at about 4)..
I used this video to see where he plays all the guitar parts. I wish the camera man didn't zoom out but I was barely able to count the frets and see where his hand was at the end of the into lead. This is EPIC guitar work. Love Michael Wilton.
I keep searching the web for Chris DeGarmo songs. Sure, the guy is an amazing musician and exceptionally cool, but his songs have depth, really gives the listener something to unpack and apply to life.
