When a band breaks up, it’s rarely under amicable terms. But if you had to name the three ugliest splits in music, which ones would you name?

Find out our choices in this episode of Epic Footnote Productions’ “If You Have to Pick 3 … ,” a podcast where Matt Gamba and Zach Shaw have to pick their top three choices on any given topic (bands, albums, songs, genres, whatever!). After they each share their personal favorites, they then have to come to an agreement on a final top 3.

The fourth Queensrÿche studio album followed what was to become a classic concept album entitled "Operation: Mindcrime." The successor to this prog rock masterpiece would be their most commercially successful release. “Empire” is filled with hard charging, somewhat melancholy metal singles and their subdued masterpiece hit, "Silent Lucidity." In a time when hair bands were waning and grunge had yet to take over, Queensrÿche was a welcome heavy metal/prog rock alternative. We hope you enjoy this exploration of this underrated and talented band.

Another Rainy Night (Without You)
This song was the fifth track and the fifth single from the album. It is a Seattle inspired song about loneliness, and waiting for someone in the rain.

Empire
The title track is about drug and gang warfare. The spoken section is a protest about the amount of spending on law enforcement compared to things like national defense and space exploration.

Silent Lucidity
This is the hit off the album, and Queensrÿche's only entry into the Billboard Hot 100. It is about lucid dreaming, where you realize you are dreaming while still in the dream. "I'm smiling next to you in silent lucidity."

Jet City Woman
This track returns to the theme of loneliness. It was written about Geoff Tate's first wife, who was a flight attendant. Seattle is known as the Jet City.

ENTERTAINMENT TRACK:

“My Blue Heaven” by Fats Domino
This 50's hit was on the soundtrack from the movie "My Blue Heaven," starring Steve Martin, and was based on the life of Henry Hill, a mobster in the witness protection program.

STAFF PICKS:

“Joey” by Concrete Blonde
Rob's staff pick is an early alt rock hit about an alcoholic, loosely based on Mark Moreland from Wall of Voodoo.

“Enjoy the Silence” by Depeche Mode
Brian brings us a dance/electronica hit that was originally intended to be a ballad, but the band picked the tempo up before it hit the album.

“Hard to Handle” by The Black Crows
Wayne had a difficult time finding a staff pick for this month until he located this song from Georgia's own Black Crows. This was a remake of an original from Otis Redding.

“Epic” by Faith No More
This song was controversial, both because of front man Mike Patton's similarity in style to Red Hot Chili Peppers frontman Anthony Kiedis, and because of the use of a fish out of water in their video for the song.

INSTRUMENTAL:

“D.F.W.” by The Vaughan Brothers
This instrumental from Stevie Ray Vaughan and Jimmy Vaughan was on the charts after Stevie Ray Vaughan had died in a helicopter crash.

Episode 28 of The Story of Rock and Roll Radio Show aired at midnight on 19 Jul 2019.  The show was jam packed with the type of rock you have come to expect from TSORR.  No technical hitches so it was a downhill run all the way from midnight through until 2am.  Due to the sad passing of South African icon Johnny Clegg there was a short little tribute to him and a few words about how special he was.  RIP Johnny, there is a nice little piece about Johnny Clegg as well as a few video clips on www.thestoryofrockandroll.com in the blog section, check it out if you are a fan.  

The WhatsApp line to the studio was really alive and a good few tracks played on this particular show were requests.  TSORR always gets solid support from Australia but we can now add the Philippines into that category.  Artists included in this weeks show included Queensryche, Cold Chisel, Great White, Marilyn Manson, Saxon, Neil Young. Stiff Little Fingers, Black Sabbath, Dio, Blue Oyster Cult, Seether, Kadaver, Kris Barras Band, Queen, Joe Bonamassa, Guns ‘n’ Roses, Iron Maiden, Rush, Joe Jackson, Koos Kombuis, Michaels Schenker, Free & Juluka.

Out of the vault , this 2013 interview is with Todd La Torre, vocalist with rock legends Queensryche. At the time the interview took place Queensryche were in a pivotal moment of their career.
