Once again, Queensrÿche does not have the members separated into lead and rhythm guitars. Both Michael Wilton and Chris De Garmo played lead on different songs.


In June 2012, Wilton, Rockenfield and Jackson kicked Geoff Tate out of the band. Todd La Torre of the band Crimson Glory was chosen as Tate's replacement, and the previously-hired Parker Lundgren was retained on rhythm guitar. Tate continued to tour under the Queensrÿche name with past Queensrÿche member Kelly Gray. On the 28th of April 2014, a statement was released that confirmed that Tate had lost the Queensrÿche brand to Wilton, Rockenfield and Jackson who will be carrying on as the sole version of the band while Tate was given the rights to perform ''Operation: Mindcrime'' and ''Operation: Mindcrime II'' in their entirety for unique performances. Tate renamed his band to Operation Mindcrime and continued recording separately through 2017.

Queensrÿche does not have the members separated into lead and rhythm guitars. I don't understand the unexplained changes that refer to Chris as only a "rhythm guitarist." In addition, it is downplaying Chris's influence on the band's early sound to say he only played rhythm. If anyone changes this back, it should be explained.

Rockenfield left the band for a paternity leave in 2017 that turned into a permanent separation and another round of lawsuits, leaving Wilton and Jackson as the remaining founding members.



* WhatHappenedToTheMouse: Scott Rockenfield went on paternity leave from the band in 2017...and, as of August 2019, has not been heard from since. Todd La Torre revealed in an interview in Febuary 2019 that he has not spoke to him since late 2017 and said Scott may not even come back at all. Time will tell at this point.

* MohsScaleOfRockAndMetalHardness: Depends on the album. The EP is mostly a 7, with "Nightrider" and "Blinded" in particular close to an 8. ''Warning'' and ''Rage for Order'' are around a 5-6, ''Operation: Mindcrime'' is usually a 5-6, but with a few 7s ("Spreading the Disease", "Speak") their '90s albums as well as "Tribe" are usually around a 4-5, and a return to 6-7 from ''Operation Mindcrime II'' on.

Like most hard rock bands from TheEighties, Queensrÿche's popularity waned in TheNineties with the rise of grunge (which, ironically, has its roots in Queensrÿche's hometown of Seattle). Nonetheless, Queensrÿche continues to record and tour, although founding member Chris [=DeGarmo=] left the band in 1998 to pursue personal interests. His place was filled by Kelly Gray on ''[=Q2K=]'', Mike Stone on ''Tribe'', ''Operation: Mindcrime II'' and ''Take Cover'', and finally Parker Lundgren on ''Dedicated to Chaos''.

In June 2012, Wilton, Rockenfield, and Jackson kicked Geoff Tate out of the band.
