Geoff Tate to Rocklahoma, "You Guys Suck"

I guess that didn't go over well.

Geoff is kinda scary looking these days, I think he's getting groomed by Anton LeVay's barber. LOTS of empty seats in that joint.

Tate is known for making himself look bad trying to 'fire the crowd up'
Thankfully the one time i saw them live was when they played both Mindcrimes as a big stage show and it was so tightly organized, there was thankfully not much time to talk between the songs

Didn't even recognize him.

Geoff is looking a bit freaky these days...... He also does this "Mr. Androgyny performance art" type thing while he sings. Not sure exactly what look he's going for now, but it's androgynous with Iron Man's (Robert Downy Jr in Avengers) goatee.

His between-song banner is completely different than back in the day, the "you guys suck" seems consistent with his latest on-stage personality. When I saw him a few weeks ago, the general comments where "man, what happened to Geoff Tate? He is very weird now"

The oddest thing he did was at the end of the set they played 'Eyes Of A Stranger' and Geoff left the stage after his last vocal line, waving bye to the crowd and didn't return leaving the rest of the band to finish the extended coda of the song (i.e. the Livecrime version). It was just really odd and to me said that Queensryche was The Geoff Tate Show featuring members of Queensryche as his backing band.

Its not so the crowd probably as more so all the modern smurf poo that they have had last 2-3 years.I dont blame him.

People go to see QR these days??

I'm thinking if they ever re-make Flash Gordon he is an easy choice for Emperor Ming.

The headline for this thread should be the other way 'round: "Rocklahoma to Geoff Tate: 'You Guys Suck'"

Queensrÿche used to be one of the best bands of all time. Now, all I can say is, "How the mighty have fallen."

Oh well, we still have Operation: Mindcrime to remind us of how awesome Queensrÿche once were.

And Ming's favorite torture device will be to force you to listen to Dedicated To Chaos.........

Not surprised, since Queensryche is now just Geoff Tate with Queensryche as his backing band.


Hmm... they are keeping Tate's son in law..... they should have dropped him and got someone else......

hahahaha F'N Awesome! BYE GEOFF!!!!!

Todd was INCREDIBLE when I saw him with CRIMSON GLORY.

Great pick!

Those samples sound really good. I'm curious to hear Rising West's original material.



And hearing all those various samples made me realize just how far Queensryche has fallen.

On one hand, I'm like "It's about freaking TIME!"

...on the other hand, I'm like "Couldn't they find another Tate Clone?" Lord knows there are more than enough of 'em out there, and if this thing takes off then Todd LaTorre's commitment to Crimson Glory will fall by the wayside and then we'll NEVER get a new g*ddamn Crimson Glory album!!!

FF - sounds like you have nothing to worry about:

http://legacy.roadrunnerrecords.com/blabbermouth.net/news.aspx?mode=Article&newsitemID=174680

CRIMSON GLORY vocalist Todd La Torre has released the following statement regarding today's announcement that he has joined forces with QUEENSRŸCHE members Michael Wilton, Eddie Jackson, Scott Rockenfield and Parker Lundgren in a brand new band called RISING WEST:

"Just for the record and for those asking about CRIMSON GLORY, I am NOT leaving CRIMSON GLORY, I am embarking on another musical endeavor with the members of QUEENSRŸCHE. I am proud and honored to be a part of this! CRIMSON GLORY is still writing new material for our record, DO NOT WORRY This is going to be an amazing new chapter. \m/ Thank you for all of your support!"

La Torre, who says that QUEENSRŸCHE has been his favorite band since he was 15 years old, first met Wilton at this year's NAMM convention in January in Anaheim, California.

RISING WEST will make its live debut on Friday, June 8 and Saturday, June 9 at the Hard Rock Café in Seattle, Washington. The band will perform rare and classic hits from the first five QUEENSRŸCHE albums — from the 1983 EP to 1990's "Empire" — and plans on hitting the studio sometime early summer to begin recording its first release

Geoff Tate's head is shaped like Stewie Griffin from the "Family Guy".

I was worried about that too but thankfully we wont have to worry now.
