Join Ray and Steve as they dive into their recent — and separate — experiences attending Queensrÿche’s Volume and Vengeance Tour, featuring special guests Accept!

SPOILER ALERT – This episode is packed with insights, reactions, and full-on spoilers, so if you plan on catching the tour and prefer to go in blind, consider this your official warning!

For everyone else, buckle in for a fun and detailed conversation covering everything from the meet & greet experience and merch tables to audience vibes, all the way through both bands’ powerhouse performances. Ray and Steve compare notes from two different tour stops, giving you a full-spectrum look at the show. The show was also to feature a “live” call-in from listener Jim from Irwin, who attended the show with Ray. Didn’t go as planned.

And because it’s the Thanksgiving season, the guys close the episode by reflecting on the Queensrÿche-related things they’re most thankful for as 2025 wraps up and 2026 approaches, in a heartfelt and fitting end to a packed episode.

The post I Remember Now – Episode 40: Geoff Tate Operation: Mindcrime – The Final Chapter first appeared on I Remember Now.

Ray and Steve are back with a new episode! In this episode, the guys dig into Queensrÿche’s 1999 album Q2K, the band’s first release after Chris DeGarmo’s departure and the debut of guitarist Kelly Gray. It’s an album that split the fanbase right down the middle… and unsurprisingly, Ray and Steve don’t exactly see eye to eye on it either.

They go track by track, rank every song, and compare Q2K against other albums they’ve covered so far. Expect strong opinions, some friendly jabs, and at least one ranking that’s sure to upset someone.

Other topics include the announcement of the new Queensryche tour, the death of Ozzy Osbourne, some great listener feedback, and more fallout from Steve’s ranking of Anytime/Anywhere on the last Classic Queensryche Countdown episode.

The post I Remember Now – Episode 38: The Classic Queensrÿche Countdown Part IV first appeared on I Remember Now.

Ray and Steve return with part TWO of their “Setlist Extravaganza,” in which they cover the current Iron Maiden “Run For Your Lives” setlist, talk about the three best setlists they’ve ever seen from any bands, get into the best Queensryche setlist they’ve seen from past tours, and a bunch of other nerdy setlist-related stuff!

Because it was part two, split and put together by Producer Tim, there were no calls this week.

The post I Remember Now – Episode 37: Setlist Extravaganza Part 2. first appeared on I Remember Now.

Ray and Steve return with their Setlist Extravaganza episode. As any frequent listener knows, Ray has been complaining about the Origins Tour setlist and the recent Queensryche setlists for months. His big gripe is that the band basically treats the music of the Todd La Torre era as an afterthought and will not embrace who they are as a band in the new era. So…the hosts thought it would be a fun exercise to construct their “dream” setlists for the modern-era of Queensryche and give Todd his due!

There’s also plenty of listener feedback on the last Classic Queensryche Countdown Episode and much more!

The post I Remember Now – Episode 36: Setlist Extravaganza Part 1. first appeared on I Remember Now.

Ray and Steve return with the third installment of the Classic Queensryche Countdown! This time, the guys cover songs #46 through #35 on their comprehensive rankings of all “classic-era” songs from the EP through Hear In The Now Frontier.

What Queensryche album has Steve apparently never listened to?? What songs cause the most heartache and pain this time?? What song do the hosts agree that they probably really blew their ranking on?? These questions and many more will be answered!

There’s also listener feedback from Lisa, Andy, Kevin, and Producer Tim on past episodes. Steve reviews some recent non-Queensryche shows he’s attended and Ray has a bitch session on the lack of Todd La Torre-era songs in the current Queensryche setlist (yet again!).
