Seattle-based hard rock legend Queensrÿche returned to San Diego, California, playing the Music Box on January 29, 2020. On this leg of the hugely successful tour supporting “The Verdict”, they are joined by guitar wizard John 5 (Rob Zombie) and Eve To Adam.

The San Diego show was extra special as the band took time to lead the crowd in serenading bassist Eddie Jackson on his birthday. The house was packed, and singing in full volume all night, which made for a rocking good time on a Wednesday night.

Queensrÿche played a full 90 minute set, giving them time to expand on their set list. They brilliantly blended their biggest hits, rarely performed deep cuts, and new songs from their latest album. The show was powerful and intense, with the guys firing on all cylinders. Guitarist Michael Wilton and Parker Lundgren traded solos and smiles, and also set the mood by laying back for Jackson and drummer Casey Grillo to take center stage at times. Vocalist Todd La Torre completely crushed every song, from the lowest growls to the highest screams, nailing every emotion that Queensrÿche brings to a song. This band shines when each member gets their moments, particularly when playing their newest songs.

The incredible set list for San Diego:

Prophecy
Operation: Mindcrime
Walk In The Shadows
Resistance
Man The Machine
Take Hold Of The Flame
No Sanctuary
Bent
Dark Reverie
Breaking The Silence
Silent Lucidity
Jet City Woman
Screaming In Digital
Queen Of The Reich

Happy Birthday to Eddie Jackson

JOHN 5 and The Creatures Kick Off Second U.S. Leg Invasion Tour This Week Tour Kicks off October 30 with Support from Jared James Nichols and Reverend Jack   JOHN 5’s New Full-Length Album, Invasion, Available Now!     JOHN 5 and the Creatures is set to kick off the second leg of the Invasion Tour 2019 this week in Battle Creek, MI. Jared James Nichols, who supported JOHN 5 on the first leg of the Invasion Tour earlier this year, has once again been tapped to open along with additional support from Reverend Jack. “I’m excited to get back out on the road with The Creatures and play music from the new album,” JOHN 5 says. “The response to the first leg of the Invasion Tour earlier this year was amazing and I can’t wait to hit even more cities. Jared James Nichols was phenomenal last time around and we are happy to have him join us again.” Released this summer, JOHN 5‘s highly-anticipated Invasion album received rave reviews all around. Fans were able to get a taste of the album throughout the first half of the year via a series of videos released each month. JOHN 5 kicked off the year with the debut video clip from Invasion, the campy animated “Zoinks!”, followed by three equally eccentric videos for “Midnight Mass,” “I Am John 5” and “Crank It – Living with Ghosts.” A new video for the track “I Want It All” was unveiled along with the release of the album last week. Invasion was produced and mixed by Barry Pointer (Richie Sambora, Joe Perry, Steve Vai, Jackson Browne). JOHN 5 will start 2020 with yet another tour, this time taking JOHN 5 and the Creatures on The Verdict Tour alongside Queensryche. In addition to praise for the Invasion album, JOHN 5 has been making news for his unlikely appearance on HGTV’s “A Very Brady Renovation.” Susan Olsen, the actress known for her portrayal of the beloved pig-tailed Cindy Brady recently posted a picture of her with JOHN 5 and Cindy’s beloved Kitty Carryall doll. “So there are photos that my friends and I have been sitting on because we don’t (and mustn’t) blow the reveals,” she wrote on her Instagram account. “But at last I can share! Cindy has a little brother now. John Brady, welcome to the family!“ Read about meeting and check out the groovy photos of JOHN 5 with Greg, Marcia, Peter, Bobby and Cindy Brady at https://variety.com/2019/music/news/brady-bunch-house-renovation-rob-zombie-guitarist-superfan-1203362443/ and https://loudwire.com/john-5-at-renovated-brady-bunch-home/. Not long after his adoption by the Bradys, JOHN 5 took to the seas for Megadeth‘s MegaCruise, where the newly-christened “Bad Brady” lived up his name. Before leaving port in San Diego, police arrived at the boat on a noise complaint, threatening to lock up the ship’s captain if JOHN 5 did not stop playing. Rather than disappoint fans, JOHN 5 and The Creatures moved the concert below deck and finished their set. Read more details on the event in Consequence of Sound: https://consequenceofsound.net/2019/10/john-5-megacruise-noise-ordinance/ Tickets for the Invasion Tour and special VIP Packages are available for all shows through the JOHN 5 webstore.

JOHN 5 and The Creatures Continue Invasion Tour This Week first appeared on Game On Media.

John 5 and the Creatures finished their Invasion 2019 tour at the Brick By Brick in San Diego, California on April 14, 2019. World famous guitarist John 5 toured in support of his upcoming instrumental album ‘Invasion’. Bassist Ian Ross and drummer Logan Miles Nix are the creatures laying down the rhythm for one of the most talented and entertaining guitarist around. In addition to the amazing music, the stage was filled with props, video screens and creatures wandering on and off the stage. This was a truly entertaining show and the sold out crowd was filled with joy throughout the night.

Guitarist Nita Strauss and her band were special guests on this night, and they also played new material off of her debut album ‘Controlled Chaos’. They played a long set of high energy instrumentals, with her drummer, bassist, guitarist and keyboardist providing a perfect backdrop for Nita’s screaming solos. A vocalist joined in for one song, ‘Eighteen’, which Nita knows well from her other gig in Alice Cooper’s band. This band is a must-see live act.

Jared James Nichols performed his high energy blues show, singing and shredding with passion.

Dead Girls Academy opened the show. They are also an entertaining, powerful band. All in all, this was an incredible night for guitar lovers at San Diego’s famous Brick By Brick.
