How do you pronounce it? -- ~

Pretty much like Queens reich. Ben W Bell 06:56, 7 Jun 2005 (UTC)
Like Queens RIKE? or Queens RAITCH? or Queens RETCH? Don't know how to pronounce Reich. ~
Queens rike, but try and and roll the S and R together ever so slightly. At least that's how I've always heard it pronounced by the band on stage. Ben W Bell 07:07, 11 Jun 2005 (UTC)


Have moved the discography section to new page titled Queensrÿche discography. This will help reduce the page size constraint on the main page. Will231982 12:16, 17 September 2006 (UTC)Will231982


[edit] progressive metal?!

I think this band is no way near progressive metal, it is justa a glam band that evolved into heavy metal, but it was never and it will never be prog metal. You can't call a band prog metal just because they have concept albums --Dexter prog 18:35, 8 January 2007 (UTC)

  • Then why is the band discussed in the prog metal article, but not glam metal? --cholmes75 (chit chat) 03:55, 9 January 2007 (UTC)
    • And why has the band always since it's inception been known in the music circles as prog? Ben W Bell talk 08:16, 9 January 2007 (UTC)
This band is a heavy metal band with some prog elements, that's all... --Λeternus 21:40, 26 February 2007 (UTC)

Queensrÿche is progressive metal and will always be so. They are constantly mentioned along the likes of Rush and Dream Theater. While they have had some glam influences in the past (Rage For Order), their musical style maintains a prog metal center point. --acidedge76 10:27 1 May 2007

I agree that they're a proggresive band maybe not by todays standards where you have to wank you guitar like Dream Theatre to be called so. They will be called progressive though because they were one of the founders of the genre (along with Fates Warning etc.) 83.233.110.96 13:22, 12 June 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Chris DeGarmo tenure

  • It states in the member section Chris DeGarmo was in Queensryche from 1981-1998, and in his biography page it states he was in the band from 1981-1997. Which is it? 68.88.202.10 09:39, 5 July 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Second umlaut band?

More like third! (At least) Blue Oyster Cult also has an Umlaut over the O. I don't know how to make an umlaut so I don't want to edit the article to fix it, though. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 68.78.108.82 (talk) 03:33, 7 November 2007 (UTC)
