    Crimson Glory is special. Their first 2 albums are absolute masterpieces. Strange...and Astronomica are good too but miles away from the first 2. The new song sounds like a return to 80s CG.

    I was at the Rockit Club gig and Ravi did a solo and at the end of it Mid said something like enough of that shit..It also wasn't the same with one guitar (no Ben WTF) on the classics. S&B was a good bluesy album, but such a drastic change from the epic Transcendence

    How weird is that bit where Ben asks the interviewer about the gig that Midnight got fired after: Was it a good gig? "Yeah, I thought so".

    i love that you interviewed Ben...but calling out Todd and then making light of Lonely...not that cool.

    • @RNRcoffeeshow
      @RNRcoffeeshow  4 місяці тому

      I love what Todd did with Crimson Glory and what he is doing with Queensryche. It just sounded to me like he was trying to replace Midnight instead of using his own vocal style as he does on his solo record, which to me is fantastic. I also really love Lonely. Looking at the video after all these years just kind of made me laugh. It was a different time back then. No harm meant. Thanks for the feedback, and thanks for watching. 🤘

      I agree, i mean its a video from the 80s, we all think its cheesy but we dont say it to the musician who was part of it, not very tactful

    Midnight was the band, it died with him. No singer will ever be good enough to replace him.
