Rockenfield Answers Fan Submitted Questions

Scott Rockenfield answers fan submitted questions.

[@jubankta1627]

Scott I wrote a comment in another comment section saying pretty much what Im about to say here...and I wanted to let u kno I feel u are hugely underrated as a drummer and contributor to the band...the stuff uve written over the yrs to all the earlier songs was perfect...however Mindcrime in particular u play parts that are exactly what the music calls for....I mean Anarchy as a march is great and how u guys came out of it into Revolution Calling is pure magic....that album is so perfect and very much ahead of its time giving credit to the entire band with that statement...but honestly the drum parts u wrote and played to Mind Crime is masterful to put it mildly Ive been a fan since the first time ur songs graced my ears with that sweet sound.....anyways enough of my rambling on thank u for MANY YEARS AND MANY SONGS THAT HAVE ROCKED ME TO MY CORE AND HAVE INSPIRED ME TO PLAY DRUMS MYSELF.....

Dear Scott...what type of cymbal you used on TAKE HOLD OF THE FLAME ..the 1984 album ..your RIDING/ SMASHING on the right side ? That loud pshshsh sound !!! ?? I really want to get one for my kit !!! Thank you so much Scott !!! LUIGI !!

[@robertlage1072]

Hey Scott.I just wanna say thanks for being a great inspiration in my younger days. Queensryche will always be one of my favorite bands as the music help me get through some tuff times. I was doing some drugs instead of doing some drums & man that was a nasty ride.Anyway I land back on my feet & back on the kit after sometime. Thanks Scott your one of my favorite drummers buddy 👍

[@randypierson6358]

I watched reactions to to take hold of the flame From all kinds of people from diverse backgrounds all over the world every single reaction that song got people were blown away amazed with that song especially since it was live

[@randypierson6358]

The musicianship of this band is outstanding I would encourage anyone to go look up reactions to take hold of the flame by queensryke

[@randypierson6358]

I think what really happened was they were just way too good this even happened with yngwie malmstein everybody was jealous of him I mean I was in a b a n d back then nirvana were neighbors in Olympia wa we were very skilled musicians but back then when grunge hit if you looked like you took a shower and shaved and especially if you were an accomplished musician you were suddenly out

[@TheSateef]

Rockenfield is such a great rock and roll name. Scott is one of my favorite drummers but i never used to like the way he played behind a glass wall in shows, felt like he wanted to stay as far from the audience as possible

[@TBone2000Man]

scott you are a great drummer are you into death metal and what was it like tourning with suicidal tendencies back in the day?

[@randypierson6358]

I grew up on queensryke up here in Seattle I'm a drummer would sit for hours playing to their albums growing up

[@randypierson6358]

Scott do you still live up here in seattle

[@rokstar48]

I got some challenging questions real Queensryche fans want answering.........are the whole band happy with the direction of the new album?......whens the real Queensryche gunna resurface again?....will Chris ever rejoin?.......dont you think its time to call it a day if Dedicated to chaos is the best you have to offer?

[@selimmarat]

Çocukluk idolüm lan bu herif..

[@rokstar48]

SCOTT PLEASE BUD RING CHRIS DE GARMO AND YOU AND MICHAEL START WRITING SOME PROPER DECENT REAL QUEENSRYCHE MUSIC BEFORE ITS TOO LATE FOR THE BAND!!!!!!!!!

[@gavinvalentino6002]

Too late.

[@cmatthews718]

Are you kidding with these questions?

[@fjn667]

The new Queensryche albums with Todd on vocal are the best albums since Empire

[@jubankta1627]

A few people commenting on the band sucking that fine if u have that opinion but u should keep it to urself Scott has children first of all and writting crap like that is only negative and noone needs to hear that...second this man has been part of a band that has changed music forever and that in itself is amazing...lastly noone likes to see something good turn into something different Im sure Scott would chose to live in the GLORY DAYS but nothing lasts forever unfortunately but at the very least this man has earned the right to play in a damned Polka band if he chooses to and put it out for those who may be into it...just like u could if u had anything creative that u would want to share with the world...but unlike u Scott does have interesting stuff to share and people will either like it or not like it going forward....so what I'm trying to say is if u can do better lets see it....until then chill with the negative comments directed at this guy....maybe aim them at some deserving politician who really deserves it like I dont kno maybe the Clintons for example

[@BrianMont1]

wow 3 worthless questions....how about, Why isn't Wilton on any of the songs and why was everything written by Slater, Gray, and Tate?

[@EGX500]

My question is "Why does this band suck, and why do you continue to devolve into complete garbage"
