Metal Mayhem ROC:Queensryche Author Brian Heaton-Roads To Madness: The Touring History Of Queensrcyhe 1981-1997”

Pantheon - Home for Music Lovers

We’re joined by Author Brian Heaton, to promote the new book “Roads To Madness: The Touring History Of Queensrcyhe 1981-1997”, a book that covers the Seattle Metal Band during their formative years through the peak of their commercial success with the original Band lineup. Brian shares why he decided to make a book as a natural follow-up to the website he ran for many years that archived the Band performances, setlists, the cities & venues they played at, the Bands they supported & the ones who opened for them. Additionally, he comments on including images of the great memorabilia that comes along with the concert experience: ticket stubs, concert photos, backstage passes, t-shirts, etc., how he obtained them & how the fans played a bit part in helping him piece together the book because of their contributions. Also, the Author provided great insights on the origins of the Band when they were called The Mob (1981) as a Cover Band, Geoff Tate joining, getting signed to a major label, opening for Quiet Riot, Dio, Twister Sister, Iron Maiden, Kiss, Ozzy, AC/DC, & Bon Jovi throughout the 80s, their rise to fame while on the road with Def Leppard & Metallica supporting “Operation Mindcrime) & becoming an MTV staple & arena headlining act while promoting “Empire”.
