Podcast appearances and mentions of Michael Wilton

Queensryche were always different from their hard rock & hair metal brethren in the 80s & 90s. Based out of Seattle, Geoff Tate (vocals), Chris DeGarmo (lead guitar), Michael Wilton (lead & rhythm guitar), Eddie Jackson (bass) and Scott Rockenfield (drums) created a more prog rock sound akin to that of Rush or Dream Theater. Tate's soaring vocals against the brilliant guitar work and fiesty rhythm section gave them a sound all their own in a sea of hair, power chords and the occasional power ballad. After coming off 1988's concept album Operation: Mindcrime, the band were confident and ready to take the next step to superstardom. 1990's Empire is generally referred to as their best effort and was their best seller with more than 3 million in the US alone. Thanks to MTV and rock radio, Queensryche music was in the air in 1990 and 1991 (at least until the fall) thanks to big hit like the title track, Best I Can, Jet City Woman and Another Rainy Night (Without You) and perhaps the greatest hard rock power ballad of all time, Silent Lucidity. That last song topped the mainstream rock charts and landed in the top ten on Billboard. However, thanks to elements at work in their hometown, the party didn't last. Once Nirvana's Smells Like Teen Spirit hit the airwaves in the fall of 1991, hard rock and hair metal would soon be shown the door by record companies looking to capitalize on the new trend. Though 1994's Promised Land went platinum and had some highlights, it was very out of place in the new flannel-clad culture. Eventually, DeGarmo would leave never to return and turmoil would separate Tate from his band in the 21st Century. However, this album stands as a testament to the bands talent and should be remembered as one of the best of the era.

Michael is a founding member of this legendary metal band and over the course of their 40-year career, they've stuck to their ways and have carved out their own path. Not a lot of bands who have faced the kind of adversary that they have can say the same. Their latest offering is another example of their greatness but also includes an interesting cover choice. It's an absolute honor to have a conversation with one of rock's greatest players.

On the 39th Episode of the Album Review Crew of Shout It Out Loudcast, Tom, Zeus & Sonny review the 1988 concept album by Queensryche, "Operation: Mindcrime." This was Queensryche's 3rd studio album. Lead singer, Geoff Tate cam up with the idea of the concept album after living in Canada and then convinced guitarist, Chris DeGarmo who then got the rest of the band interested. The story is about a man named, Nikki who gets involved in political assassinations, drugs and revolutions. The band was led by vocalist Geoff Tate and his unique look and incredible vocal range. The dual guitar attack of Chris DeGarmo and Michael Wilton and rhythm section of bassist, Eddie Jackson and drummer, Scott Rockenfield provide the unique Queensryche sound. The album was produced by Peter Collins and showed that Queensryche although wrongly lumped in with hair metal bands of that era, was something original and had something to say. . As usual the boys breakdown and dissect the tracks and rank the songs. They then rank the album and the album cover against the previous 35 albums reviewed on the Album Review Crew.

Michael Wilton, guitarist and original member for legendary prog metal band Queensrÿche returns to the podcast to discuss the band's latest album Digital Noise Alliance, how they have kept things going for so long, touring, and more.  Digital Noise Alliance is out on Oct. 7th.

This week is our 8th installment of, “Degrees Of Separation…” where we discuss the more obscure side projects and solo releases from some not-so-obscure artists. This week we pay homage to the rock n' roll rags to riches story that is the metal god-like voice that is Tim “Ripper” Owens. He inspired a major motion picture, not to mention gave opportunities to countless other singers from tribute bands to perhaps be considered as the replacement for the real deals. This guy has some of the most sought-after pipes of the last 25 years. All hear our warning; never turn your back on The Ripper!New to InObscuria? It's all about excavating obscure Rock n' Punk n' Metal from one of 3 categories: the Lost, the Forgotten, or the Should Have Beens. While we may be talking about bands that you know intimately in this episode, perhaps you are not aware of the depth of side projects they have had over their careers. Our hope is that we turn you on to something new!Songs this week include:Ripper - “Embattled” from Embattled - Single (2022)Winter's Bane - “Heart Of A Killer” from Heart Of A Killer (1993)Yngwie J. Malmsteen - “Damnation Game” from Perputual Flame (2008)Operation: Mindcrime - “Taking On The World (feat. Ripper Owens & Blaze Bayley)” from Resurrection (2016)Charred Walls Of The Damned - “Creating Our Machine” from Charred Walls Of The Damned (2010)Iced Earth - “Valley Forge” from The Glorious Burden (2004)KK's Priest - “Raise Your Fists” from Sermons Of The Sinner (2021)Metal Allegiance - “We Rock” from Metal Allegiance (2015)Please subscribe everywhere that you listen to podcasts!Visit us: https://inobscuria.com/https://www.facebook.com/InObscuriahttps://twitter.com/inobscuriahttps://www.instagram.com/inobscuria/Buy cool stuff with our logo on it!: https://www.redbubble.com/people/InObscuria?asc=uIf you'd like to check out Kevin's band THE SWEAR, take a listen on all streaming services or pick up a digital copy of their latest release here: https://theswear.bandcamp.com/If you want to hear Robert and Kevin's band from the late 90s – early 00s BIG JACK PNEUMATIC, check it out here: https://bigjackpnuematic.bandcamp.com/Check out Robert's amazing fire sculptures and metal workings here: http://flamewerx.com/

This episode originally aired on July 31st, 2017. Steve Cooper talks with guitarist Michael Wilton. Michael is one of the founding members in 1982 of the band Queensryche. The band has released 14 studio albums, 1 EP, several DVDs and continues to tour and record. They have sold over 20 million albums worldwide, including over 6 million albums in the United States. The band received worldwide acclaim after the release of their 1988 album Operation: Mindcrime which is often considered one of the greatest heavy metal concept albums of all time. Their follow-up release Empire, released in 1990, was also very successful and included the hit single Silent Lucidity. The band has received three Grammy nominations for songs from both albums. His nickname is The Whip for how fast his fingers "whip" around the guitar fretboard and he also has his own beer called Whip Ale.

Michael Wilton of Queensryche talks to Rock Scene about his very young years in San Francisco, moving to Seattle Washington and playing bass in garage bands while growing up. Eventually switching instruments with a guitar player, Michael began learning all that he could about the guitar. After high school, he attended the Cornish Institute of Allied Arts for a year and a half until running out of money, forcing him to take a job. In doing so, he met Eddie Jackson, Scott Rockenfield and Chris DeGarmo. They started jamming and eventually put together a 4 song E.P. The only thing missing was a singer.

El grupo ha editado un EP y once álbumes de estudio y, hasta la fecha, continúa haciendo giras y grabando.La creación del grupo se remonta a principios de la década de los años 1980. El guitarrista Michael Wilton y el baterista Scott Rockenfield eran miembros de una banda llamada CrossFire, haciendo covers de bandas populares de heavy metal tales como Iron Maiden, Black Sabbath y Judas Priest. Reciben la influencia del grupo de rock británico Queen, de quienes hacen un cover de la canción "Innuendo". Luego se agregan el guitarrista Chris DeGarmo y el bajista Eddie Jackson, cambiando el nombre del grupo a The Mob. The Mob, que no tenía un cantante, reclutó a Geoff Tate como cantante en un festival de rock local. En ese momento, Tate ya estaba en una banda llamada Babylon. Cuando Babylon se disuelve Tate hizo algunos shows con The Mob, pero se fue porque no estaba interesado en el heavy metal. En 1981, The Mob consigue grabar un demo. Una vez más, Tate fue llamado para cantar. Grabaron cuatro canciones - "Queen of the Reich", "Nightrider", "Blinded" y "The Lady Wore Black". El grupo mandó su demo a varios sellos y no fue aceptado por ninguno. A solicitud de su nuevo manager, The Mob cambió su nombre a Queensrÿche (inspirado en la primera canción de su demo). Fueron los primeros en aplicar la diéresis (umlaut del heavy metal) sobre la letra Y. Tate bromeaba al respecto: «La diéresis sobre la 'y' nos ha dado un gran dolor de cabeza. Hemos estado once años explicando como debe pronunciarse». La demo circuló y recibió buenas críticas de la revista Kerrang!. Queensrÿche grabó su disco EP Queen of the Reich en su propio sello 206 en 1983. Basados en el éxito del EP, Tate acepto dejar Myth y ser el cantante permanente de Queensrÿche. Ese mismo año la banda firma con EMI y reeditan Queen of the Reich con moderado éxito, llegando al número 81 en el chart Billboard.Luego del EP tour, Queensrÿche viajó a Londres para grabar su primer disco. La banda trabajó con el productor James Guthrie, quien había trabajado con Pink Floyd y Judas Priest. Publicado en septiembre de 1984, The Warning tenía más elementos de rock progresivo que en el primer disco. Alcanzó el puesto 61 del Billboard chart y un éxito comercial moderado. Ninguno de los singles sacados de The Warning repercutió en Estados Unidos, "Take Hold of the Flame" fue un hit para la banda pero fuera del país (particularmente en Japón). Rage for Order, grabado en 1986, presenta un estilo y un sonido más pulido. El álbum presentaba predominantemente tanto teclados como guitarras, y el grupo adoptó una imagen más asociada con el glam rock o glam metal que con el heavy metal.En 1988, Queensrÿche presentó Operation: Mindcrime, un álbum conceptual narrativo que tuvo una crítica masiva y un éxito comercial. La historia del disco giraba alrededor de un drogadicto que es drogado para asesinar en nombre de un movimiento contestatario; el drogadicto ("Nikki") está atrapado entre su lealtad a la causa y su amor por una prostituta devenida monja ("Mary", cuya voz fue interpretada por Pamela Moore). Operation: mindcrime fue mencionado por los críticos junto a discos conceptuales notables tales como "The Wall" de Pink Floyd y "Tommy" de The Who. La banda estuvo de gira a lo largo de todo el año 1988 y 1989 con varias bandas, incluyendo a Metallica. La presentación del disco Empire (1990) llevó a Queensrÿche a la cima de su popularidad comercial. Llegó al ranking número 7 y vendió más de tres millones de copias solo en los Estados Unidos, más que sus cuatro trabajos anteriores juntos (recibió también el disco de plata en el Reino Unido). La power ballad "Silent Lucidity", en la que presentaba a una orquesta, se convirtió en el primer single Top 10. Mientras la banda mantenía su estilo de protesta social, tocando tópicos tales como política y control de armamento y la defensa del medio ambiente, las letras de "Empire" iban más al grano de lo que lo habían hecho hasta ese momento. La subsiguiente gira "Building Empires" fue la primera que presentaba a Queensrÿche como acto principal. El grupo utilizaba su status para interpretar Operation: mindcrime completo, como también canciones de "Empire". La gira duró 18 meses, más de lo que cualquier banda había tocado hasta ese momento. Después de tomarse un tiempo para lidiar con cuestiones personales, la banda grabó Promised Land en octubre de 1994. Fue un álbum oscuro e intensamente personal, que reflejaba el estado mental de la banda en ese momento. Si bien el álbum debutó tercero y hasta recibió el disco de platino, era claro que no tendría el éxito comercial que había tenido Empire. Como muchas bandas de heavy metal y hard rock, la fortuna comercial del grupo dio lugar a la aparición de las nuevas bandas exponentes de la música grunge y rock alternativo.Queensrÿche grabó su sexto álbum en estudio, Hear in the Now Frontier, en marzo de 1997, con una mezcla y crítica por parte de los fans. El álbum debutó en el número 19 pero rápidamente desapareció del chart. El sonido musical y el estilo del mismo eran más crudos que lo que la banda había grabado hasta ese momento, y algunos fans y críticos apuntaron que el sonido y estilo grunge era la mayor influencia del disco. A pesar de esta reacción, los singles Sign of the Times y You recibieron mucha difusión. Agravando la desilusión por las ventas hubo situaciones que plagaron el tour. Menos de un mes antes del tour Hear in the Now Frontier, Geoff Tate enfermó y la banda se vio forzada por primera vez a cancelar conciertos. Para completar, el sello de la banda, EMI America Records, quebró durante el mismo periodo. Queensrÿche se vio forzado a usar su propio dinero para financiar el resto de la gira, que finalizó en agosto después de solo dos meses. El grupo tocó algunos shows en Sudamérica debido a obligaciones contractuales, y fue durante este momento que el miembro fundador Chris DeGarmo anunció que dejaba Queensrÿche. Aunque los motivos de la partida de DeGarmo no se hicieron públicos, los miembros de la banda dijeron que DeGarmo estaba en búsqueda de otros horizontes como razones de su partida. Después de que dejara Queensrÿche, en 2001 DeGarmo grabó y se presentó con Jerry Cantrell, en una banda llamada Spys4Darwin. DeGarmo a fecha de 2006 es piloto en una aerolínea comercial.DeGarmo fue reemplazado por el guitarrista y productor Kelly Gray. La conexión de Gray con Queensrÿche viene de los 80, cuando fue guitarrista de Myth, la anterior banda de Geoff Tate. Gray previamente había trabajado también como productor de bandas como Dokken y Candlebox. El primer álbum de Queensrÿche con Gray fue Q2K, grabado en 1999. Este fue también el primer álbum del nuevo sello, Atlantic Records. Musicalmente, Q2K tiene una pequeña vuelta al metal progresivo de los inicios de la banda, mostrando también un sonido similar al de Hear in the Now Frontier. Gray no fue muy bien recibido por los fans, quienes sintieron que su sonido "blusero" no se ajustaba a la banda. Además, la popularidad declinante del grupo los forzó a tocar en clubs y teatros, en vez de grandes estadios al aire libre. Después de la salida de un disco de grandes éxitos en el año 2000, Queensrÿche se embarcó en otra gira, esta vez como soporte de Iron Maiden. Esto permitió al grupo tocar por primera vez en el Madison Square Garden. Insatisfechos por la falta de soporte que recibieron de Atlantic, Queensrÿche firmó con Sanctuary Records en 2001. En julio de ese año, la banda se presentó algunos conciertos en el Moore Theater, en Seattle, Washington. Los shows fueron grabados y lanzados en septiembre de 2001 como Live Evolution, el segundo álbum en directo de la banda. Kelly Gray dejó el grupo un tiempo después.La banda entró al estudio como cuarteto en el otoño de 2003 para grabar su próximo álbum. En abril, anunciaron que Chris DeGarmo volvía a la banda, pero que su futuro en la misma era incierto. En julio, Queensrÿche lanzó su primer y único álbum de material nuevo en el sello Sanctuary: Tribe. DeGarmo, quien tocó y escribió cuatro canciones, no se unió oficialmente a la banda ni tampoco tomó parte en el tour. El reemplazo oficial de Kelly Gray fue Mike Stone, quien acompañó al grupo durante el tour Tribe como segunda guitarra. En junio de 2003, Queensrÿche se lanzó en un tour presentando a otra banda muy popular de metal progresivo: Dream Theater. Las dos bandas alternaban la apertura y cierre de los shows, tocando al final juntas un puñado de canciones. Fates Warning fue el invitado especial del tour.En julio de 2004, Queensrÿche anunció planes para grabar una continuación del disco Operation: Mindcrime. A fin de generar el interés de los fans en el nuevo álbum, la banda salió de gira a finales de 2004 con el tour An Evening With Queensrÿche. El mismo abría con algunos grandes éxitos seguida de una producción revisada de Operation: mindcrime con actores en directo y vídeos; Pamela Moore retomó su rol como Sister Mary. El grupo tocó pregrabó una versión de "Hostage," una canción del nuevo álbum. La segunda parte del tour comenzó a principios de 2005. Antes de embarcarse en una tercera parte del mismo a fines de 2005, Queensrÿche tocó con Judas Priest a lo largo de Norteamérica, tocando durante una hora un set que consistía en viejos temas y una canción de la nueva secuela, llamada "I'm American". Operation: Mindcrime II fue lanzado internacionalmente el 31 de marzo de 2006, diciendo que respondía algunas de las preguntas de la primera parte. Este disco es el primero de esta banda con el sello Rhino Entertainment, con el cual firmaron en 2005. Ronnie James Dio grabó las voces de Dr. X, el villano de ambos discos. Este debutó en el número 14, la más alta posición para un álbum de Queensrÿche desde 1997. El grupo a finales de 2006 está haciendo la gira de Operation: Mindcrime II. Pamela Moore se unió a la banda para presentar los discos Operation: Mindcrime en su totalidad. Queensrÿche posteriormente anunció que Ronnie James Dio aparecería durante algunas fechas para representar su rol como Dr. X.El 9 de agosto de 2007, la banda anunció que lanzaría un álbum de grandes éxitos, titulado Sign of the Times. El álbum fue lanzado el 28 de agosto de 2007 y una edición especial del coleccionista llevaba un disco extra que incluía demostraciones y una nueva canción "Justified", con Chris DeGarmo en la guitarra. El 23 de noviembre de 2007, la banda lanzó un álbum de covers titulado Take Cover. El álbum contiene covers de canciones de U2, Queen, The Police, Black Sabbath, Peter Gabriel y Pink Floyd. Take Cover es el segundo lanzamiento que realizó la banda a través de Rhino Records. El 3 de febrero de 2009, Stone anunció el fin de su asociación con Queensrÿche para enfocarse en su proyecto Speed-X, aunque las declaraciones de la corte revelaron que Geoff y Susan Tate lo habían despedido por "realizar demandas muy grandes", sin haberlo discutido con los otros miembros de la banda. Wilton grabó tanto la sección de la guitarra líder como de la guitarra rítmica para el undécimo álbum de la banda, American Soldier, lanzado el 31 de marzo de 2009. El álbum conceptual trata el tema de la guerra desde la perspectiva de aquellos que participaron en las líneas de las guerras americanas desde la Segunda Guerra Mundial hacia el presente, especialmente la Guerra de Iraq. Parker Lundgren reemplazó a Stone en el tour.El 14 de abril de 2012, durante un concierto en São Paulo, Brasil, Tate atacó físicamente y escupió a Rockfield y Wilton en un acto de respuesta debido a un conflicto suscitado entre los integrantes por el despido de Susan Tate como manager de la banda y su hija Miranda del club de fans. Tate continuamente escupió a los integrantes del grupo y tuvo que ser retenido por los guardaespaldas y seguridad local. La banda intentó reconciliarse con Tate durante el transcurso de los siguientes conciertos antes de despedirlo, ya que su comportamiento empezó a empeorar hasta el último concierto con él, llevado a cabo en el Rocklahoma Festival, el 26 de mayo en Pryor, Oklahoma. Durante el concierto, Tate le dijo al público "Ustedes apestan".Dicho concierto fue transmitido en vivo a nivel nacional a través de HDnet. Un testimonio de la corte reveló que Tate y su familia habían sido despedidos por el mal uso de las cuentas bancarias de la banda para pagar los gastos de un grupo irlandés que Susan Tate estaba manejando, llamado The Voodoos, quienes no tenían visas legales de trabajo en los Estados Unidos, y que teloneaban a Queensrÿche durante su gira estadounidense de 2011. Geoff Tate también pactó en secreto un acuerdo con Zoetifex Studios sobre los derechos de Operation: Mindcrime para realizar una adaptación fílmica animada basada en el álbum, que le otorgaría un pago por adelantado, y la mayoría de las regalías asociadas con la mercancía de la película.Tate alegó que él era el único dueño de los derechos de la historia, a pesar de que la mayoría de los integrantes había creado el concepto de Mindcrime.En mayo de 2012, se anunció que los miembros originales Wilton, Rockfield y Jackson junto a Parker Lungdren y el vocalista de Crimson Glory Todd La Torre formaron una banda llamada Rising West, tocando solamente las canciones de los primeros cinco álbumes de Queensrÿche. Los primeros conciertos se realizaron en Seattle, en el Hard Rock Café, el 8 y 9 de junio de 2012. Se anunció el 20 de junio de 2012 que Queensrÿche despidió a Geoff Tate como vocalista, y que será reemplazado por La Torre. Se desconoce quién posee los derechos del nombre Queensrÿche.El 13 de julio de 2012, una corte desestimó la moción de Geoff Tate por un interdicto preliminar que pudo haber privado a Michael Wilton, Scott Rockenfield y Eddie Jackson de realizar sus giras y operar bajo el nombre de Queensrÿche.La propuesta de Wilton, Rockenfield, Jackson y La Torre finalmente devino en la continuación conceptual de Queensrÿche, junto al guitarrista Parker Lundgren, quien se unió a la banda en 2009. Con Geoff Tate fuera del grupo, la banda planea un nuevo lanzamiento de estudio para 2013, tras Dedicated to Chaos, de 2011. El título elegido para el álbum fue Queensrÿche, y la fecha de salida se estableció para el 24 de junio de 2013. Sin embargo, y a pesar de esto, el exvocalista Tate, lejos de aceptar esta decisión, planteó su propia versión de Queensrÿche, negándose a reconocer la legitimidad de sus excompañeros al utilizar el nombre y seguir adelante con la historia del grupo. En el año 2015 lanzaron el segundo álbum con La Torre como vocalista, llamado Condition Hüman.
