Band Name Origins:

Their EP, featuring Queen of the Reich was released and it took off, so the band, pressed for time, had to decide on a name. Queensryche was created from the song title, and the name has stuck ever since. Contrary to a comment elsewhere on amiright.com, it has nothing to do with a gay dictatorship. Submitted by: Stu Cazzo

She is the lady that can ease my sorrow
My love for her will help me find my way

Dirty Song Lyrics:

"Spreading the Disease"

The Dirty Lyrics:

16 and on the run from home
found a job at Times Square working live S&M shows
25 bucks a f**k and John's a happy man
She wipes the filth away and is back on the streets again, spreading the disease

Why They're Dirty:

She's a teenage prostitute. I needn't say anything more.

Scary Song Lyrics:

"Suite Sister Mary"

The Lyrics:

The priest is cold and dead, on his knees he fell
(from my barrel of death, he turned)
The holy water red, as he died he said,
"Thank you", I just watched him bleed.

Why:

This dude just murdered a corrupt priest in cold blood, and the way Geoff sings this makes it sound incredibly dramatic and much scarier.
