QUEENSRŸCHE PAY HOMAGE TO THEIR IDOLS WITH TAKE COVER



Adventurous 11-Song Collection of Covers Ranges From Black Sabbath to

Broadway, Including the Band�s Unique Take on Songs By U2, Queen, Pink

Floyd, Buffalo Springfield, Peter Gabriel, The Police, The O�Jays, and More



Queensrÿche pays tributes to some of its favorite songs

with an adventurous collection of covers that range from Black Sabbath and

The O�Jays to Italian opera and Broadway musical. Singer and chief

songwriter Geoff Tate, guitarists Michael Wilton and Mike Stone, bassist Eddie

Jackson, and drummer Scott Rockenfield put their stamp on 11 classic tracks

with TAKE COVER. The album is available November 13 at regular physical

retail outlets and at www.rhino.com for a suggested price of $13.98, with a

digital version also available for the suggested price of $7.99. The album will

also be released on 180-gram vinyl on November 20 for a suggested price of

$13.98.



Not known for playing many covers live, Tate says the album gave the band

a chance to relax and have some fun. �During sound checks, Stone and

Michael like to play �name that riff,� and sometimes the whole band joins in.

That�s really the way this album came together too. We got together and

started playing songs to each other, and then we picked our favorites.�



The eclectic list of songs reflects the members� divergent tastes and includes

a few surprising selections such as �Heaven On Their Minds� from the hit

musical Jesus Christ Superstar, the O�Jays R&B classic �For Love Of Money�

and an operatic epic originally performed by the Italian duo of Carlo Marrale

and Cheope, �Odissea.� Recognized as an accomplished vocalist, Tate says

he enjoyed the song�s demanding arrangement. �I really like this song

because there is a lot for a singer to sink his teeth into, plus I got a chance to

sing in Italian, which was interesting considering I don�t speak a word of it.�



The set covers a lot of ground both lyrically and musically, opening with

�Innuendo,� Queen�s epic song about life and death; �Almost Cut My Hair,�

Crosby, Stills, Nash & Young�s paean to freedom; and the medieval metal of

Black Sabbath�s �Neon Knights.� Starting September 5, Queensrÿche and

Black Sabbath with Ronnie James Dio (touring as Heaven And Hell), will



play a month of North American concerts. Says Tate, �Ronnie took us out on

our first European tour and he�s always been good to us. With the tour

coming up, this seemed like a nice way to pay tribute to him. I hope he likes

it, or I�m sure I�ll hear about it every night of the tour.�



TAKE COVER also features Queensrÿche�s distinctive arrangement of Pink

Floyd�s �Welcome To The Machine,� an acoustic version of Buffalo

Springfield�s �For What It�s Worth,� and a highly charged live version of U2�s

�Bullet The Blue Sky.� �We�ll never top the originals; they�re classics for a

reason,� Tate says. �We were more focused on finding different approaches

that took the songs in unexpected directions.�



Singing Peter Gabriel�s �Red Rain� and the Police�s �Synchronicity II,� Tate

says, were opportunities for him to explore music he�d previously overlooked.

�I�d heard these songs on the radio before, but I didn�t really appreciate them

before the guys suggested we record them. It was a rewarding experience

doing this album because it gave us all a chance to pay tribute to some of the

bands that have meant so much to us over the years, and we all discovered

new songs to love.�
