Drummer Scott Rockenfield has posted a demo version of the QUEENSRŸCHE song “Toxic Remedy” on his Queensryche2021.com website. The final track was originally included on the band’s 2015 album “Condition Hüman”.
Scott launched the new website earlier this month, despite not playing with QUEENSRŸCHE in more than four years, and posted to his Facebook page the following message: “R ya READY TO F***in’ ROCK !!!?? ….I AM !!!!!!! — bruhahahha… www.queensryche2021.com *Welcome to the New World * Join the Legion”.
A posting on the new website promises “brand new music,” “exclusive new merchandise,” “limited-edition collectibles” and “rare music from the [QUEENSRŸCHE] archives.”
Rockenfield’s latest social media activity comes four months after he shot down suggestions that he quit QUEENSRŸCHE. In January, Scott shared an update on Facebook in which he said that fans “have not been given the facts by any means” and implied that he would offer more details at a later date.
Scott’s January 2021 comments marked the first time he had publicly addressed his status with QUEENSRŸCHE, who have been using former KAMELOT drummer Casey Grillo on the road since April 2017.
The drum tracks on QUEENSRŸCHE’s latest album, 2019’s “The Verdict”, were laid down by singer Todd La Torre.
La Torre is currently selling one of four remaining pairs of drum sticks that were used by Rockenfield during the drum recordings of QUEENSRŸCHE’s 2013 self-titled album.
