Queensrÿche - Guitarist Quits
Guitarist Mike Stone has decided he will not be touring with Queensrÿche this spring. The band commented: "We will miss him. He is a wonderful player and has contributed to our lives musically and spiritually. We wish him the best and hope to see him succeed in everything he chooses to participate in."
Mike Stone adds this statement: "After much consideration, I will not be joining Queensrÿche on the 2009 "American Soldier Tour". I feel now is the time to focus on other musical endeavors, including my new band Speed X with Nick Catanese of Black Label Society. I would like to thank all of the Queensrÿche fans around the world for being nothing less than amazing to me during my time with the band. You have treated me like gold, and I will never forget it. It has been an honor to be a part of the Queensrÿche family, and I wish Geoff, Michael, Scott and Eddie nothing but the very best."

Stone never came near DeGarmo's influence and songwriting capabilities.

Written by Marcel Hubregtse on 04.02.2009 at 23:33 I second that. DeGarmo may actually be my all time favorite guitarist. Yes, I like him even more than Petrucci, Page of Knophler.

I would also enjoy if DeGarmo returned. not too big a fan of stone, to be honest. great musician...when he was playing stuff he didn't originally record.
