I always had my doubts while listening to the drumming on this album, even before the whole 2012 drama happend, I read somewhere that Scott Rockenfield did not even play on this record. I'm a drummer and a HUGE Scott Rock fan and after hearing the whole record again, I noticed. I don't know how I didn't notice it before, but it's clearly someone else playing drums. That's not Scott's style or way of playing.

Maybe why I don't like this...I'm also a drummer and the drumming doesn't feel like rockenfields vibe.
@GREGORYGLG9 жыл бұрын
This track is not even a human drummer (studio musician). It's programmed MIDI "drums." I'm shocked Scott even agreed to pretend to play drums in the video for this. The whole album feels like one big rip off. So disappointing.
@RycheRageForOrder7 жыл бұрын
I am also a percussionist and you read wrong. I saw the OM II show in Denver Colorado and it was Rockenfield on percussion. The man is known to be able to play any type of style. The band is known for changing musical composition on every album.

Scott can do anything he wants to. If he doesn't wan't to play up to your expectations, I'm pretty sure he doesn't have to.
@bluesruley2k6 жыл бұрын
You're a drummer....Good for you. Did you really need to go thru all that just to tell the world that you're a drummer? Maybe if you really are a drummer, you'd be doing what Scott Rockenfield does instead of what you're doing...

As I recall, this was the only song on Mindcrime II I could get into. Admittedly, I wasn't able to get too far into the record, but I liked this one. After listening to the original, it really shows how far Queensryche had sunk. I don't know what it'd take, but they deserve to make a great record again. One on the level of the original five albums.

@EGX500 Uh, last I checked, American Soldier was made to honor the struggles of soldiers and highlight the bullshit they have to go through at home and abroad in terms of ill treatment, being sent to their deaths, PTSD, personal trauma, etc. Geoff Tate said himself that he's been approached over the years by a number of fans who were in the military and American Soldier was born of a need to tell their stories. Yes it's about how war sucks, but it's not an insult to soldiers.

One can back the US service men and women and still speak out against those who put them in harm's way. Which I think is what Geoff is clearily expressing in this song. He made himself quite clear that he did NOT support Dubya as President. This song is about warmongers, not soldiers.

Queensryche were a band that pioneered progressive metal and even managed to move successfully into a layered rock direction with Empire and Promised Land. Unfortunately, they haven't been able to do either alternative rock or whatever Limp Bizkit inspired tripe American Soldier revels in particularly well. A band that doesn't play to its strengths is a waste of everyone's time. Thankfully, kicking Geoff out last year seems to have done the trick. At least the new self-titled is listenable!

The hope is in the land of the brave, there's more opportunity in the iron dipped in wax, than flipping across the news clips, In the fire & steel we can call our own, Turning my head to the real. The way of our path. Make a fight worthy of your attention. Make the reward following getting the thing we decided we wanted, something alot more than our decision to get it.

Here's a novel concept: how about it being possible for a band or artist to make headway into other styles and genres and NOT come off as inferior to bands and artists who have already been doing music in them? And while I'm at it, here's another BLT sandwich of wisdom: when a band or artist establishes stylistic consistency and a sound that differentiates them from others, you don't just throw it away: you evolve organically. Examples: Todd Rundgren, Devin Townsend, King Crimson, etc.

I honestly don’t understand the hate with Mindcrime 2. In a sea of metal-operas (Ayreon, Dream Theater, Nightwish, Symphony X and such), I find OM2 quite entertaining and less dizzying than other monster-prog-opera offerings. I think Tate became a scapegoat for many things, and his antics are feeding the negativity. I don’t know him personally of course, but OM2 is clearly not a musical failure to me. Lots of stuff by « legends » like Metallica, Guns n’ Roses, Bon Jovi, Yes, Dream Theater and even Rush are crappier than this. Come on, be fair.
