Jimmy Kay from The Metal Voice recently spoke to QUEENSRŸCHE co-founder and guitarist Michael Wilton at this year’s M3 Rock festival on May 4, 2024.
In the chat goes over the early success of QUEENSRŸCHE in the early years and the writing, recording and the making and their classic E.P. and The Warning.
Excerpt from interview
” I was 19 years old and we had been as The Mob (band) and playing metal songs at place, playing Judas Priest, Iron Maiden, Deep Purple, Tigers of Pan Tang etc…We were into that because at that time you know the radio was just playing pop stuff and we were young and we wanted to hear metal. So we got to the point where we said well let’s try making our own music and we just started jamming together and got a tape recorder and just started recording ideas and putting things together. We had the four songs that were on it (EP) and other songs that didn’t make it. It was just trial and error. We had these ideas and we decided you know we’d like to record them at a proper studio.” Michael Wilton
