Random Fact of the Day:
Rush and Looney Tunes have a connection.
You might be wonder thinking, what's the connection between Rush and Looney Tunes? It has something to do with "La Villa Strangiato" which is off their 1978 Hemispheres.
When pdbass connected the two, it blew my mind. Around the six minute mark of "La Villa Strangiato," that's when the piece starts. That section is taken from, pianist, Raymond Scott's "Powerhouse, written in 1937. It was adapted and arranged by Carl Stalling. "Powerhouse" has two parts. The second section has been used in various Warner Bros. cartoons, "Ren & Stimpy," and others.
Rush was sued for using it, but that statute of limitations had run out and nothing could be done. They didn't owe him anything. Upon Rush realizing what they did, they did what they thought was right and wrote him a penance cheque for using his melody.
pdbass goes on to breakdown musical aspect of what Rush played. Fascinating. This is something I didn't know. Goes to show that you're always learning something new.
Wow. Just wow.

Friday, June 24: Queensrÿche, “Vindication”
“Vindication” was a fairly deliberate title, as its lyrics were written by Scott Rockenfield and clearly carried the weight of his recent history with Geoff Tate. But everything about Queensrÿche at this time, from signing to Century Media to reuniting with producer James “Jimbo” Barton to self-titling their first release with Todd La Torre at the mic, was reflective of its members’ intent to pretend that the previous 20 years hadn’t happened, and the track pounded and throttled with an aggression we hadn’t heard from them since “Spreading the Disease” or “Speak”. In fact, “Vindication” was among the most metallic tunes the band ever recorded, brimming with spite and (seemingly) working overtime to definitively break away from the singer who (seemingly) held them back. And although nothing was going to change Queensrÿche’s status as a legacy act, the track and accompanying album were very successful in making the band a viable entity, especially as a touring act.

REVIEW: Queensrÿche - "Days O Deth" (2014 demo)
REVIEW: Queensrÿche – “Days O Deth” (2014 demo)
QUEENSRŸCHE – “Days O Deth” (2014 demo, released 2021 online by Scott Rockenfield)
If any rock band has had the #1 weirdest drama going on in their history, Queensryche must be considered a front runner. First there was the “spitting incident” and 2012 split with Geoff Tate. This drama was swiftly followed by the existence of two completely different bands touring and releasing albums as…
