PAMELA MOORE: QUEENSRŸCHE's 'Sister Mary' Talks About Touring, Upcoming Projects

April 13, 2005

The Breakdown Room recently conducted an online exclusive interview with Pamela Moore, the voice of "Sister Mary" from QUEENSRŸCHE's legendary concept album "Operation: Mindcrime". Ms. Moore discusses her entire career, ranging from her first influences, to her big break as the voice of Sister Mary, to current projects she is working on. A couple of excerpts from the interview follow:

On recent QUEENSRŸCHE tour:

"This time around I was able to sing more and help out on vocals. The latter part of the year we really concentrated on bringing to life the Mindcrime show. Since I do have a theater background it was very enjoyable to pull that out again."

On the Sister Mary death scene, in which the character commits suicide by putting a bullet in her head:

"I didn't realize it was so bloody. At the time [the show] was being rehearsed, I was on my honeymoon and wasn't able to return until a day before the tour started."

On recording her parts for the "Operation: Mindcrime" album:

"Geoff's [Tate] vocals were already recorded, so I recorded my parts separately. I think the first time we ever sang the song together was when I toured with them on the [Building Empires] tour.

"Nothing can ever compare to the adrenaline rush you get singing in front of so many fans. It was then I realized how fortunate I was to have been able to participate in something so special."

On being hired by AC/DC's Brian Johnson to sing on some songs for a Broadway play:

"I'm not sure where that project is at right now, but I can say the experience was awesome. [Brian's] a wonderful man to get to know and a very prolific and creative writer too."
