Heavy metal veterans Queensrÿche rock NM
Queensrÿche guitarist ‘The Whip’ gets real with the SunNew Mexico definitely gets its fare share of rocking concerts, and this reporter was privileged to see one of those recently.
The Scorpions & Queensrÿche Tour made its way down to the Isleta Amphitheater in Albuquerque on May 25, and I got to sit down and chat with Queensrÿche guitarist Michael Wilton (born Feb. 23, 1962), otherwise known as the “The Whip” for the speed of his fingers on the fretboard.

This week sees the release of a sequel to a movie that managed to succeed, despite genre conventions, and create some unsettling moments. The Conjuring 2 does possess a couple of chills and will provide a decent enough night of jolts for horror fans, yet by comparison it’s a hit-and-miss affair. Honestly, the movie never quite matches the eerie mood and tone that the original effortlessly generated.
