No problem.  I came across it, and figured it was about time I made a post
that was actually Queensryche related.

I always wanted them to do one too -- until the last couple years or so.
After hearing the past couple efforts I'm afraid of what they could do to a
great story.  At this point in time I rather they stayed away from it -- but
I'n big boy enough to realize that the original will still be great
regardless.

I've got very little faith in the Ryche boys.  We'd probably wind up with
Caddyshack II or even worse, Halloween III.

I think they are already dead, but I suppose something grand, and worthy of
past accomplishments could drag me back in.

There are people out there that would keep buying whatever Queensryche threw
at them, so I'm doubting a failed attempt at Mindcrime II could sink them.
A disc entitled Queensryche -- Sounds From The Stomach, would still manage
to sell copies.

Agreed.  Queensryche would have to be at full strength to even come close to
pulling this off.
