Just seemed like they got a lot more airplay back in the day and even now on those retro radio stations.
That's definitely true. And while Queensryche surely have written some timeless hits, Warrant has an iconic hit in "Cherry Pie." Though they may not like that. I know Jani didn't. Haha.

Yea, as much as I enjoy a good pissing match, this is starting to get pretty tiresome to me too. Wake me when the QR guys put out a new single that we can critique and over-analyze to death.

Round one over, Queenryche can continue as Queensryche, Geoff Tate is Sh!t out of luck:
Qeensryche defeated a motion for a preliminary injunction on July 13 that would have kept it from touring and operating under the band name, AGPS Management senior manager Glen Parrish exclusively tells Billboard. The act is defending a complaint filed by former singer Geoff Tate in a Washington state court over whether he should be awarded the Queensryche name after being expelled from the group in June.
"We are excited that the Washington courts saw what we and the fans have always known, that Queensryche is more than any one member," Parrish said in a statement. "We are sorry we had to go to court to show this, but we are determined to bring back the quality product Queensryche was known for. We can't wait to unveil to the fans what [the band creates] next musically."
Q&A: Geoff Tate Discusses Queensryche Split
Parrish also confirms that Queensryche has signed with AGPS Management for representation. The band had previously been managed by Tate's wife, Susan.
Queensryche members Scott Rockenfield (drums), Michael Wilton (guitars) and Eddie Jackson (bass) are defendants in a lawsuit the Tates filed June 22 in King County Superior Court. The suit claims the three illegally fired Tate and are tarnishing the group's brand by attempting to continue without him.
Billboard published an interview with Tate on July 6 where he discussed his side of the story. We will follow up shortly with a feature about the defendants' version of the events that led to Tate's departure, as well as the breakneck speed that legal documents from the case keep appearing online.

That's most likely the way the whole thing will go...

Yep - Tate's only chance was to get a crappy judge that doesn't understand business law. If Tate is thinking at all beyond his ego, he would start to negotiate a settlement ASAP. He is most likely to get less than he could with a settlement with the band. Not to mention the court costs and lawyer fees will bleed him dry.

It would suck though, to know that the band's signature (Operation: Mindcrime) was your idea/concept and then know they'd be going out and playing it without you...I can understand to a degree why he felt that, at least conceptually, Queensryche (post-DeGarmo) was "his"...but it's just not realistic. He can think anything he wants...doesn't make it true.

i can empathize but in the end its a business and if the band owns the name and Geoff doesnt - its his tough luck.
Nah, Paul is one of the best frontman in rock history..
This cornhole is just a blip on the radar. His pinky tipping, wine tasting ming the merciless transformation is really weird. I can't believe I used to like him.

Not weird at all, and he's surely not the first musician to do that.

uncle saxon has always been odd, but he never turned into ming the mericiless.

That video really turned me against Queensryche and I avoided buying Rage For Order for the longest time because of it until a few people assured me that the song was an exception,not the rule on the album.
Just a weird song/video all around.

'Rage for Order' is so good it can be remastered with a second version of that song as a bonus track and still be a 5 star album.

I wasn;t going to buy Rage For Order because of the song/video either! I remember seeing it on MTV And think WTF was that?????? Fortunately one of the employees at one of the local record stores I shopped at told me the rest of the album was great. He hadn't steered me wrong yet on music.... in fact he told me to avoid Savatage's Fight For The Rock. Since I didn't listen to him on that one, I decided to trust him on Rage For Order. And I was glad I did!
I am one of the few that actually like that song. It's got a really cool, creepy vibe to it. I have no idea what they were thinking fashion-wise, but it was the 80s so do whatever the hell you want.
