CWE-The Right Side

There are many ways to support the band on the TRIBE Headlining Tour. Obviously, this includes buying TRIBE, going to the show in your town, bugging the local radio station, etc. Ok then, what's the point? WELL .........Everyone knows what a UFO is, but do you know what a BFO is? IT is a Blinding Flash of the Obvious, or BFO!!

So, here are Revolution Colin's Top 10 List of BFO(s) for the QR Headlining Tour:

10.) Attend multiple shows to support the band and to hear song(s) that you might not have heard the night/show before. Setlists are not carved in stone.

9.) Wear QR items to the concert to make a visual statement of support for the band. They like seeing you show your/their colors, so to speak.

8.) Wear QR garb to ball games, league play, etc., starting a week or so before the show to visually "SPEAK THE WORD!" for folks that might not be aware the band is coming to town. It helps promote the show for the more casual fans!!

7.) Take a friend with you to the show(s). It's a great way to either turn on a newbie to QR or, in the alternative, rekindle that Rychean Rage in an long time fan, who is not up on QR happenings these days.

6.) Join or start a local empire to go as a group to the show. It is fun to go out ahead of the show for dinners and drinks. It is a great way to mix with other QR fans, share stories, etc.

5.) Have your empire handing out your empire's business card or flyer to make concert goers aware that there is a local body of QR fans. You don't know who is thinking that, "I wish there was a local group of QR fans." It helps them find YOU !!!

4.) Make a banner or flag for the show, so that others will approach you about becoming a QR fan or joining your empire. It is a way to advertise your empire and the band. It is a great recruiting tool.

3.) Go to http://www.queensryche.com/releases/tribe/index.html and click on the song titles to get the lyrics to TRIBE and hand them out at the show. While people can't see to read them during the set, they can look at it later to reinforce their concert going experience. This may help get them to go out and buy TRIBE after the LIVE experience.

2.) Go to a local music store that is not carrying TRIBE. Ask them to order a copy for you!! It works. I've done it at Barnes & Noble and Borders. Make the non-carriers at least have to get it into the store. They usually get a couple of extras, if someone asks.

1.) JOIN THE QR CAMPAIGN and become an active member of the fan club!! Be able to go to Meet & Greets and mingle with the band, as well as thank them for their 20 years of great music for us. NOW. The list is not exhaustive and some of your minds and imagination are better than mine. Therefore, you are ONLY limited by "the questions that we think."
