Thursday, October 31: Queensrÿche, "Desert Dance"
Tribe sort of tried to right the ship for Queensrÿche: Chris DeGarmo came back to play and (most importantly) write, and toyed with returning to the band full-time before resurfacing all of the reasons that inspired him to leave in the first place.  But even though DeGarmo had a hand in composing half the album, the record largely played like a logical albeit less frazzled follow-up to Q2K- the songs were short but fussy, without a ton of melody or dynamics but plenty of implied complexity due to the cluttered arrangements.  “Desert Dance” had all of these things, but breathed a bit more and didn’t feel as far removed from Promised Land: written by DeGarmo alongside Geoff Tate, Michael Wilton and Scott Rockenfield, the track recalled the open-vista exploration that Queensrÿche often tried in the early ‘90s, while also layering on the crunch and churn of their late ‘90s material.  Tate sounded preposterous at times, but everyone took that as a given and at least in 2001 he was still able to summon some of the old fire when he was engaged with the material.  “Desert Dance” still played like nostalgia and was very much a post-peak track, but it offered simple charms and pleasures alongside some nice leads and rhythms.

Defeated opponents: Salt-N-Pepa, Violent Femmes
Formed in: 1983
Genres: Hard rock, area rock, pop rock
Lineup: Jon Bon Jovi- vocals

Richie Sambora- guitar
Albums from the 80s: 
Bon Jovi (1984)
7800 Fahrenheit (1985)
Slippery When Wet (1986)
New Jersey (1988)
Propaganda: Genre-defying powerhouse of a band. So many classic songs. Every member was some flavor of hot but Richie was married Heather Locklear hot and Jon was hot enough to make you want to take a risk on a Jersey boy. Their stage show was iconic with Jon, Richie and Alec fitted with wires so they could be lifted up and fly out over the crowd mid-performance. (See the video for Livin' on a Prayer to see this in action) They're still performing to this day and Jon is still married to his high school sweetheart which I think is kind of adorable.

Tuesday, March 5: Queensrÿche, "Breakdown" [ENCORE]
The Today’s Metal Tune tumblr posted its first song March 5, 2014.  Amazingly, 10 YEARS LATER we are still here and going strong.  A huge THANK YOU to everyone that has followed, liked, reblogged and commented over the past 10 years, this tumblr has been a passion project that took on a life of its own and far exceeded humble expectations, and that is all because so many have listened and gotten in on the fun.  To celebrate the past decade, we are revisiting some favorites from the early years.  Stay Metal everyone, there’s much more still to come…
Depending on whom you ask, Queensrÿche started sucking either after 1984, 1988, 1991 or 1995.  But despite the numerous controversies (and numerous questionable albums) that the band perpetuated since the departure of founding guitarist and primary songwriter Chris DeGarmo in 1998, there is one post-Empire (or post-Promised Land- again, it depends on your point of view) record that deserves revisiting: 1999’s Q2K sank like a stone upon initial release, but in is actually somewhat underrated.  Yes, it was another departure from their classic prog-metal sound, and it was most definitely created in reaction to both the musical climate of the day as well as DeGarmo’s leaving.  But it was also one of the only times (and definitely the last time until the Todd La Torre era) Queensrÿche just rocked out, without explanation or excuses.  And “Breakdown” is the most metallic of the bunch: the guitars storm, swirl and crunch, Geoff Tate wails with conviction (also one of the last times he would stretch his range), and for those who complain about the songs being too direct, Scott Rockenfield’s drumming is nothing if not complex.  “Breakdown” and Q2K represent the last time there wasn’t an air of defensiveness about Queensrÿche, and as such both should be appreciated on their own terms.
