In addition to LaTorre, now celebrating his 10th year in the band, original members Michael Wilton and Eddie Jackson were joined by drummer Casey Grillo and guitarist Mike Stone, who was in the band from 2003 to 2008 and returned in 2021 when Parker Lundgren stepped down.

Queensryche has undergone a number of changes in personnel over the years. It also gave singer Todd LaTorre a chance to show how he can take these classic songs and breathe a new life into them with the strength of his amazing voice.

The heavier material, with an emphasis on the full-length debut The Warning, fit the nostalgic theme of the night. The band stuck to its earlier material, nothing recorded after Empire was played, and only the title track from that record made the set. After a few months’ delay due to guitarist Richie Faulkner’s health scare, Judas Priest brought their 50 Heavy Metal Years anniversary tour to Foxwoods Casino with Queensryche opening the show.Īlthough they do not have a new record to promote, Queensryche took the stage with a perfect opening set for the packed, Priest-loving crowd.
