QUEENSRŸCHE: More KOMP 92.3 Acoustic Performance Footage Available

October 10, 2007

QUEENSRŸCHE members Geoff Tate, Michael Wilton and Mike Stone performed acoustic versions of the songs "The Hands" and "Bridge" at the studios of the Las Vegas radio station KOMP 92.3 during the band's U.S. tour with HEAVEN AND HELL and ALICE COOPER. Watch the performance below.

Geoff Tate will be the featured guest on the nationally syndicated radio show "Rockline", hosted by Bob Coburn, airing Wednesday, November 7 at 11:30 p.m. EST/8:30 p.m. PST. Fans can talk live with Geoff by calling 800-344-ROCK (7625). To find a station near you or to listen to the show live via the Internet, go to www.rocklineradio.com.

QUEENSRŸCHE will pay homage to some of its musical idols on "Take Cover", a covers album due Nov. 13 via Rhino. The Seattle group is putting its stamp on such numbers as PINK FLOYD's "Welcome to the Machine", U2's "Bullet the Blue Sky" and PETER GABRIEL's "Red Rain".

QUEENSRŸCHE has only released a few covers, one of them being a powerful interpretation of "Scarborough Fair" in the early 1990s. According to Billboard.com, some of the 11 selections naturally fit the band's progressive rock influences, particularly PINK FLOYD and "Innuendo" by QUEEN, one of Tate's favorite bands. Others will definitely raise eyebrows. The group is giving Broadway a spin by performing "Heaven on Their Minds" from "Jesus Christ Superstar", as well as the O'JAYS' R&B classic "For Love of Money", the operatic "Odissea" by Italian duo CARLO MARRALE AND CHEOPE and an acoustic version of BUFFALO SPRINGFIELD's "For What It's Worth".
