It’s hard to overstate the jaw-dropping impact of Queensryche’s 1983 self-titled EP and the subsequent catalog of prog-metal classics, including “The Warning,” “Rage for Order,” “Operation: Mindcrime” and “Empire.” Guitarist Michael “Whip” Wilton joins us to discuss the band’s early years, “The Origins” tour, his new solo album, “Vol. 1,” the inspiration of Eddie Van Halen and the day singer Todd LaTorre floored everyone in the room with his beyond-belief vocals.
