Queensryche descends onto Speaking Rock.
This past Saturday night here in El Paso, Texas was one really for the books as the infamous Queensryche made a stop at the one and only Speaking Rock Entertainment Center. This venue is outdoors, and I couldn’t think of a better place to witness this epic band on this hot July night in West Texas. Queensryche has been around for a hot minute, founded in 82, first release in 84 followed by 16 more, the last in 2022. The history of the band is hot and sticky, lineup changes, Geoff fired in 2012, replaced with Todd, legal battles ensued, 2 bands with the same name and it goes on and on, but in the good news department, we have what we had here on Saturday, Todd La Torre on Vocals, Casey Grillo on percussion, Mike Stone on guitar, Eddie Jackson on Bass and Michael Wilton on lead guitar, Eddie and Michael both being founding members. it was an epic show of unbridled progressive heavy metal, full of classic hits that had this El Paso crowd losing their minds, oh yeah, quite the sight.
