(Rock AAA) Vocal armed forces supporters Queensryche were the victims of a bomb attack during a recent visit to war-torn Iraq – but frontman Geoff Tate insists making the trip was the least the band could do.The prog metal outfit played a series of shows for military personnel. While in northern Iraq they were forced to take cover when a battle exploded around them, and although none of them were killed, they were left injured and shaken by the experience. "We got bombed. We had to spend a lot of hours in bunkers there, waiting for the insurgents to get under control. We all lived through it although we got injured – that was a scary situation," Tate tells BraveWords.com. "A mortar landed about a hundred yards from where I was standing – the ground just shook.
