CLEVELAND (WJW) – It was a birthday present decades in the making! FOX 8’s Tracy McCool had the chance to rock out with her all-time favorite band, Queensrÿche .
With help from Live Nation and friends at FOX 8, Tracy was surprised with a chance to hang out with the Washington-based heavy metal band before their show the House of Blues on Wednesday.

“I just want to let you know that I spent longer getting ready for today than I did getting ready for high school prom,” Tracy told the band. “You are my all-time favorite.”
Tracy got to spend over an hour with the band as they did a sound check, even trying her hand at the drums. She also left with plenty of signed merchandise, like drumsticks and a tour shirt.
