Queensryche Rage For Order Tour Shirt 1986/1987

Queensrÿche emerged as trailblazers in the progressive metal scene during the 1980s. Their distinctive sound, marked by intricate song structures and deep thematic content, set them apart from other bands. The “Rage for Order” album, released in 1986, highlighted their innovative mix of progressive and glam metal, delving into themes like technology, politics, and personal struggles.

The “Rage for Order” tour was a defining moment for Queensrÿche. It was during this tour that they cemented their status as a formidable live act, mesmerizing audiences with their theatrical performances and complex musicianship. The tour lasted about seven months and included opening slots for iconic bands such as Ratt, AC/DC, Bon Jovi, and Ozzy Osbourne.

This shirt was purchased at the October 11, 1986, show when Queensrÿche performed at the Hollywood Sportatorium in Hollywood, Florida. This venue was a popular spot for rock concerts, and the night was made even more special by Metallica’s presence. Metallica was promoting their legendary “Master of Puppets” album as part of their “Damage, Inc.” tour. The combination of these two metal giants created an unforgettable experience for fans.

The front of this shirt features the bold red and yellow “Tri-Ryche” symbol above a globe map of the world and “Rage for Order” text on a black background. The back of the shirt features the iconic “Tri-Ryche” symbol. Above this emblem, the text reads “RAGE TOUR” in bold, capitalized orange letters. Below the emblem, the dates “1986-1987” are prominently displayed in the same bold, orange lettering. The black background of the shirt makes these design elements stand out vividly.

Stored since the '80s, this shirt is being sold in its original, as-found condition. See the images of the frayed tag and the bottom hem. The front and back lengths do not align perfectly when the shirt is laid flat. The shirt has some gentle overall fading and is not super "new black" but more of a "has been washed a few times but still reads as black" black. Before rocking it, consider giving it a gentle wash to freshen it up because it has been stored for a while. The label recommends machine wash-warm, tumble-dry medium, and wash colors separately. Do not dry clean or iron.
