When it comes to dedication, few people can compare to Brian J. Heaton, who has assembled arguably the most complete touring history of any recording artist with his new book: Roads to Madness: A Touring History of Queensrÿche (1981-1997). If you're a fan of Queensrÿche, or just a lover of classic progressive rock and metal, this is a story you'll be interested in hearing.
