CMS CLASSIC: The "Reunion" Myth: Michael Wilton Exposes the Reality of Queensryche’s Lineup 2008

Think you know why Chris DeGarmo really vanished from the Queensryche legacy? The mainstream media wants to paint a picture of “happy cameos,” but Neeley and Chris get Michael Wilton to reveal the cold, hard truth about the commitment it takes to keep the machine rolling. While the industry pretends every “Mindcrime” performance is just another paycheck, Wilton exposes what happens when a band has to carry the weight of a legend while a founding member stays on the sidelines. Is Queensryche a “well-oiled machine” or is the real “raw” power hiding in Wilton’s side projects? You need to hear what Wilton says about Lemmy’s “influence” before you believe another word of the industry’s polished PR garbage.
