Iron Maiden, Megadeth, and sometimes Anthrax. The big metal tour happening right now. Steve from the I Remember Now: The Queensrÿche Podcast saw the show in New Jersey. Kousins Ray, Gary, Marvin, and Tim and Jem from Alabama went the show in Charlotte, NC.

Steve got to experience Anthrax while they weren’t on the Kousins’ show.

The Charlotte group was there for the Asylum Summit II or ’26. Eugene B Sims from Wheeler’s Dog podcast brought his wife, Jamie, aka Chigs, and met up with the guys for a late lunch and to hang with the group. The wives (other than Kousin Tim’s wife, Stephanie) did things outside of the show. Jem from Alabama was in IM Heaven. And, let’s face it, he IS the nicest person on this planet.

Kousin Tim talks about why he missed the whole concert, even though he and Stephanie went. Kousins Gary and Marvin tell how they stuck through it for most of the show. Jem and Kousin Ray were under the shed… barely.

It was a night of anniversaries. This was the 250th episode of this podcast, The Asylum Podcast, the 50th(ish) of I Remember Now the Queensryche Podcast, and Queensryche’s second full studio album, Rage for Order (1986). To celebrate, two guests graced the show: Communal Steve from IRNTQP and “Ze German,” Henning, from Germany. Making this a “two-fer” with Asylum and IRN.

The gang discussed the album, each person’s history with the album, analysis, stories, observations, and more. It was a great episode!

Calls from Bruno from South Africa, Jim from Irwin, and Jem from Alabama.

The post The Show of Anniversaries: Rage for Order, The Asylum Podcast, I Remember Now Podcast first appeared on I Remember Now.

Ray and Steve return with a highly anticipated album review episode as they take a deep dive into Geoff Tate’s brand-new release, Operation: Mindcrime III.

Promising heavier moments, callbacks to the classic Operation: Mindcrime storyline, and a fresh perspective from Dr. X himself, Geoff set expectations sky-high for this long-awaited sequel. But does the album actually deliver?

The guys break the album down track-by-track, discuss the story, performances, production, and connections to the original albums, and debate whether Mindcrime III lives up to the hype and the legacy.

And, of course, no IRN: TQP review would be complete without ranking the songs from worst to first!
