AnybodyListening.net was created for the sole purpose of archiving the history of Queensrÿche - specifically, the band's original lineup. As the years have passed, and new records were released with different lineups, I noticed that much of the band's legacy was being re-written to fit whatever marketing scheme worked best at that time. As a dedicated fan of Queensrÿche and music history in general, that was a mistake I felt a responsibility to rectify.
In the past, this site was known as "The Breakdown Room," but since its focus has shifted slightly, I re-named it accordingly. The message board, however, is still known as "The Breakdown Room" and is located at www.anybodylistening.net/breakdownroom. Come talk about the band with hundreds of the most knowledgeable fans around (for free, unlike Queensrÿche's official site)!
Within the pages of AnybodyListening.net is a mountain of information on the band from its beginnings in Bellevue, Wash., through the unsuccessful reunion attempt of 2003's Tribe. While I do have sections on "Alternate Lineups," please note that this site's primary coverage is on Queensrÿche's original lineup, which consists of Geoff Tate, Chris DeGarmo, Michael Wilton, Ed Jackson, and Scott Rockenfield. Therefore, the "Alternate Lineups" page is not really current. I keep it online (accurate through about 2006) for fans that requested it.
That said, I've been supportive of both Kelly Gray and Mike Stone - the two guitarists that followed Chris DeGarmo. Myself alone, I've seen 25 or so concerts with one of those two on guitar for Queensrÿche. The records Queensrÿche released with each of those guitar players have some good moments, but the true Queensrÿche spirit and sound was developed by the original band and this site's mission is to make sure that history is never forgotten.
