QUEENSRŸCHE have issued the following:

The band, Fan Club and EMI Records are happy to announce the band’s new iTunes page! Still available are all the album releases, but what’s new are the music videos (all 18 of them) each for $1.99.

Taken from the site: “Progressive metal didn’t even exist when Queensrÿche formed in the early ’80s, but it's first full-length, The Warning, put the heavy/heady hybrid on the map, with Geoff Tate’s theatrical, Peter Gabriel-on-steroids vocal style and twin-guitar riffs that mixed the raw power of classic metal with the epic reach of art rock. With 1988’s Operation: Mindcrime, the band unveiled its full-blown conceptual masterstroke - a Dark Side Of The Moon for the metal age. Queensrÿche made it's mark on the mainstream with the follow-up, Empire, whose string-soaked ballad 'Silent Lucidity' went Top 10, but even after grunge and nu-metal signaled a sea change, the band of prog-metal pioneers kept things current, streamlining its sound without sacrificing an ounce of melodic smarts."

As previously reported, Geoff Tate will be the special guest on the Mitch Minute (part of Codi Jefferies That '80s Show) on Friday March 13th on Majic 100 in Ottawa.

Tune in live at 7:45 PM eastern (4:45 PM in the west). Those outside the Ottawa area can listen to a live stream of the show at majic100.fm.

The Mitch Minute is brought to you by BW&BK; scribe/photographer/radio personality Mitch Lafon.
