This is the most recent information about Queensryche that has been submitted to amIright. If we have more information about Queensryche, then we provide a link to the section where it appears (the actual page whenever possible).
Band Name Origins:
- Their EP, featuring Queen of the Reich was released and it took off, so the band, pressed for time, had to decide on a name. Queensryche was created from the song title, and the name has stuck ever since. Contrary to a comment elsewhere on amiright.com, it has nothing to do with a gay dictatorship. Submitted by: Stu Cazzo
Stupid Band Names:
- I have no idea how to pronounce this and I've even heard radio DJs admit they have the same problem! Submitted by: GlamRockNinjaLord
- The spelling never looks right. Furthermore, it sounds like some kind of gay dictatorship. Submitted by: Chris

Scary Song Lyrics:
"Suite Sister Mary"
The Lyrics: The priest is cold and dead, on his knees he fell
(from my barrel of death, he turned) The holy water red, as he died he said, "Thank you", I just watched him bleed. Why: This dude just murdered a corrupt priest in cold blood, and the way Geoff sings this makes it sound incredibly dramatic and much scarier.
