GEOFF TATE: My Former QUEENSRŸCHE Bandmates Are 'Cowards Who Wouldn't Stand Up For Themselves' - Jan. 3, 2013

BigMusicGeek.com: At this point, is your goal to reconcile with the other members of [QUEENSRŸCHE]? Is that really even possible?

Geoff: I think the situation has deteriorated quite badly. It would take quite a bit of communication with all of us sitting in the same room having discussions for any type of reconciliation to occur. Honestly, I don't see that happening from their side. I don't think any of them have the balls to sit in a room with me and be honest about how they feel and works towards some sort of understanding. They're way too cowardly to do anything like that. That may come across as cold and brash, and I apologize if that offends anyone, but that's my honest opinion on the matter. They didn't approach me in a friendly, gentlemanly friendship way when they fired me. They did it behind my back through a lawyer, ya know? So I really don't have any high hopes that they'd have the integrity to sit in a room with me now and try to come up with some sort of compromises for our situation.

BigMusicGeek.com: Was there really a physical confrontation between you and the other members of the group (i.e. the now-infamous Brazil Incident)? At first, it seemed insane that everyone would actually "come to blows" over it all...

Geoff: Yes. It happens in bands all the time. It's weird because in other places in the world, they look at the whole physical altercation thing as a fist fight and call it what it is[laughs] It's a bunch of guys and you come to blows sometimes, ya know? It's no big deal. The Europeans and South Americans say the same thing: "What's the big deal? Why are the Americans making such a big deal out of this?" Look at THE [ROLLING] STONES, THE WHO or even THE BEATLES. It's a bunch of guys and guys are physical. The thing about the whole "Brazil incident" is that we're talking about three cowards who wouldn't stand up for themselves. Three cowards who made a decision behind my back, implemented a plan to fire me and my family and then, when I challenged them on it, ran away like little pussies who wouldn't stand up for their beliefs. What kind of men are those? The only thing you have in life are your convictions. It's what you believe. If you make a statement and then back down, what kind of man are you? You are nothing. You have no significance if you don't stand up for what you believe in.

I lost what little respect I had for the man ( due to his talent), what kind of douche bag makes statements like theses? F**k him! He is a grown man!!!!! A man in his 50's and his basically bragging about being a bully!!!!!!

I don't blame the band for going behind his back. You should always try to confront someone face to face whenever possible, but why confront them when all they're going to do is spit at and try to fight you. Seems to me that Geoff is not the kind of guy to reason with, bullies never are.

lol, I guess all the other bands in the world who aren't at blows aren't real men, because men are so physical.

With bullies, DB is correct that they cannot be reasoned with, and they want to get a rise out of you or worse, so the best thing is to ignore them and not give them that power, the band did the right thing and Geoff is still showing those tendencies by identifying their actions as "being pussies".

Maybe the three "pu$$ie$" were afraid Geoff would clock them with his saxophone.

Dude needs some Dr. Phil.

seriously though - Tate really expected the band to fire him face to face? They are a corporation and the corporate lawyer told him he was fired by the rest of the board.
