‘I Don’t Believe In Love’ was a glaring omission from the set but understandably so, because given a longer set they would have certainly played it. In the band since 2012, Todd La Torre is most certainly no longer the new guy, but if this gentleman represents the average attendee at these Scorpions show, this is clearly a great tour for Queensrÿche to play an introductory set for such people.
“Who’s the new guy? He sounds like that Myles guy from Slash’s band, said the guy sitting two seats to my left.
There were quite a few Queensrÿche fans here at this show, but doing these arenas with Scorpions has been a tremendous opportunity for them to open up to larger audiences. Singer Todd La Torre’s voice was resonating beautifully throughout the entire arena, and the band sounded absolutely fantastic. Older selections like ‘The Needle Lies’, ‘Eyes Of A Stranger’, ‘Empire’ and ‘Queen Of The Reich’ garnered huge cheers from the audience. The new song exudes old-school Queensrÿche elements and blended excellently in the set, in all honesty leaving a greater impact than anything on the 2013 self-titled album. The Forum was buzzing with excitement, and the stage was set for an epic arena rock show.ĭoors to this all-seated show opened at 7, and at 7:55, Queensrÿche took the stage for a 40-minute set presenting classics of their own, and the song ‘Arrow Of Time’ off of their latest Century Media Records full-length release ‘Condition Human’. Fans paid good money and turned up in huge numbers to experience the 2015 incarnation of Scorpions and be treated to a throwback to the 70s and 80s with songs that have stood the test of time. October 3rd 2015, The Forum, Los Angeles CA: German rock legends Scorpions are currently on their 50th anniversary world tour, and coming towards the end of its North American leg with Queensrÿche as the support act, they arrived in the Los Angeles area for a nearly sold-out gig at the Forum in Inglewood last Saturday October 3rd 2015, to bring an assortment of classics along with material from the latest album ‘Return To Forever’.
