Queensrÿche: Pro-shot footage of complete M3 Rock Festival 2012 set

Posted on by

Much like the UK’s own High Voltage Festival, the US M3 Festival is dedicated to classic and retro rock acts, and the 2012 line-up was a cracker. Over the course of two days, rock fans were treated to live sets by Bang Tango, Dokken, Ratt, Enuff Z’Nuff, XYZ and more.

A highlight of the weekend was a 65 minute set by progressive rock/metal legends Queensrÿche. Queensrÿche also performed a superb set at High Voltage in 2011, although far too short at just over 25 minutes. They really ought to have been given the headline slot instead of Dream Theater… Still, this professionally shot set from M3 may provide a small amount of consolation for those in the UK, as Geoff Tate and company play a selection of their well loved classics alongside a few lesser known cuts.

The setlist in full:
Intro
Get Started
Damaged
I Don’t Believe In Love
Hit The Black
I’m American
NM 156
Screaming In Digital
The Lady Wore Black
Walk In The Shadows
Silent Lucidity
Jet City Woman
Empire 50:58
Eyes Of A Stranger

Limp Bizkit: Stampede of the Disco Elephants??!

Posted on by

Following being dropped by their record label after 2011’s ‘Gold Cobra’ fell short of expectations, Limp Bizkit have found a new home at the US hip-hop label Cash Money Records.

Reports are circulating that Durst and co are working on new material for release before the end of the year. In addition to a follow up to 2005’s ‘Unquestionable Truth’ EP, fans can expect a new full length album.

While none of this news is open to question, REAL GONE suspects that the proposed album title – ‘Stampede of the Disco Elephants’ – is nothing more than a rumour.

Until this can be confirmed, you can read a review of the last Limp Bizkit LP here.
