Ray and Steve are back with a new episode! In this episode, the guys dig into Queensrÿche’s 1999 album Q2K, the band’s first release after Chris DeGarmo’s departure and the debut of guitarist Kelly Gray. It’s an album that split the fanbase right down the middle… and unsurprisingly, Ray and Steve don’t exactly see eye to eye on it either.

They go track by track, rank every song, and compare Q2K against other albums they’ve covered so far. Expect strong opinions, some friendly jabs, and at least one ranking that’s sure to upset someone.

Other topics include the announcement of the new Queensryche tour, the death of Ozzy Osbourne, some great listener feedback, and more fallout from Steve’s ranking of Anytime/Anywhere on the last Classic Queensryche Countdown episode.

The post I Remember Now – Episode 38: The Classic Queensrÿche Countdown Part IV first appeared on I Remember Now.

Ray and Steve return with part TWO of their “Setlist Extravaganza,” in which they cover the current Iron Maiden “Run For Your Lives” setlist, talk about the three best setlists they’ve ever seen from any bands, get into the best Queensryche setlist they’ve seen from past tours, and a bunch of other nerdy setlist-related stuff!

Because it was part two, split and put together by Producer Tim, there were no calls this week.

The post I Remember Now – Episode 37: Setlist Extravaganza Part 2. first appeared on I Remember Now.

Ray and Steve return with their Setlist Extravaganza episode. As any frequent listener knows, Ray has been complaining about the Origins Tour setlist and the recent Queensryche setlists for months. His big gripe is that the band basically treats the music of the Todd La Torre era as an afterthought and will not embrace who they are as a band in the new era. So…the hosts thought it would be a fun exercise to construct their “dream” setlists for the modern-era of Queensryche and give Todd his due!

There’s also plenty of listener feedback on the last Classic Queensryche Countdown Episode and much more!

The post I Remember Now – Episode 36: Setlist Extravaganza Part 1. first appeared on I Remember Now.

Ray and Steve return with the third installment of the Classic Queensryche Countdown! This time, the guys cover songs #46 through #35 on their comprehensive rankings of all “classic-era” songs from the EP through Hear In The Now Frontier.

What Queensryche album has Steve apparently never listened to?? What songs cause the most heartache and pain this time?? What song do the hosts agree that they probably really blew their ranking on?? These questions and many more will be answered!

There’s also listener feedback from Lisa, Andy, Kevin, and Producer Tim on past episodes. Steve reviews some recent non-Queensryche shows he’s attended and Ray has a bitch session on the lack of Todd La Torre-era songs in the current Queensryche setlist (yet again!).

The post I Remember Now – Episode 32: Geoff Tate-Penned Songs  first appeared on I Remember Now.

It’s a combo/co-production episode of both Asylum AND I Remember Now: The Queensrÿche Podcast. In this bonus episode, it’s some Queensrÿche on Queensrÿche gladiators. Ray (of both podcasts) defends the 1986 Queensrÿche classic Rage For Order. In the other corner is our very own Steve, who defended the 1990 classic Empire.

The rules: After a coin flip, the winner can either go first or defer their pick. The first selector chooses their “gladiator” or song for battle. After a short listen, the opponent chooses the song (or gladiator) to battle the round’s opening song. The other three Kousins then vote for the winner. The two pickers can also change their vote if they choose to. Whichever song has the most votes… wins. If there’s a tie, well, we’ll give that away, there wasn’t.

Which album would you defend and/or which would win?

The post I Remember Now Bonus Episode with The Asylum Podcast first appeared on I Remember Now.

Ray and Steve kick off 2025 with the first installment of their new series, “Counting Down Classic Queensryche!” The guys have covered all of the albums from the original, classic lineup and now take on the monumental task of ranking and counting down ALL of the tracks from the classic era, from #74, all the way to #1.

This first episode features the “Bottom 15” songs, #74 through #60.

What songs drop to the bottom of the list?

What song rankings have Ray and Steve questioning each other’s sanity??

There are plenty, but you’ll have to tune in to find out!

Please join the fun and share your bottom 15 by calling the show at (336) 422-6862, emailing an MP3 audio file, or just emailing your list to [email protected]
