Other: I Remember Now: The 20th Anniversary Of Queensr?che's Operation: Mindcrime

Posted on Saturday, May 24 @ 06:14:02 UTC by nightowl

To celebrate the 20th anniversary of Queensr?che's Operation: Mindcrime album, Blistering.com will be running a multi-part retrospective detailing the album's creation titled, "I Remember Now: The 20th Anniversary of Operation:Mindcrime."

Compiled by noted Queensr?che historian Christa Titus, the series will feature interviews with members involved in the album's creation, plus perspectives from two other relevant sources. With topics ranging from guitarist Michael Wilton's initial displeasure with the album's mix and singer Geoff Tate's assessment of how TV helped sell Mindcrime, to bassist Eddie Jackson's take on dealing with new-found success and drummer Scott Rockenfield's intimate details of the band's rehearsal space, "I Remember Now: The 20th Anniversary of Operation: Mindcrime" is one of the first complete and comprehensive looks at one of rock's most intriguing concept albums and the players involved in it.

The series will run through mid-June. So far, three chapters have been posted:
