I was just looking for longer samples of the other Queensryche album on iTunes, and I noticed a Silent Lucidity: Greatest Hits EP, which are the re-recordings from this album.

They got samples of the whole album on amazon.

I know, but iTunes puts up a minute-and-a-half-long samples. =)

ooooooooh I had no idea. i'll have to take a look see

Yeah, there's nothing there yet.

Well...



Sass is better than the last chick, but not great for the role. Her voice is strong, but too mid-range for Sister Mary.

And what is Geoff saying for the "Sister Mary, virgin Mary" line? In all the recent videos it sounds like he's saying "the lizard Mary, virgin Mary." I don't get it, and I can't figure out what he's really saying. I'm assuming it's not really "the lizard Mary," although that would be funny. Haha.

Also...why does he lick his finger, then beckon people with it, only to dance like a fruitcake in front of the drums, and then later grab his balls during the "don't offer me faith, I've got all that I need" part? I never knew that line meant "don't offer me faith, I've got balls."

The actual line of the song is "don't offer me faith, I've got all that I need HERE" (his crotch). If you listen to the backing vocals, they're singing "my faith is growing, growing tight against the seam"...he's getting an erection for Mary and saying all he wants is her, not "faith". He's always done that...

I can see it now......

A pair of "balls" you can hang from your trailer hitch on the ol pick up with a "tri-ryche" embelished on it for sale at the merchandising both.

yes. It's ('all that I need here..') also referring to Nikki's firearm, which in turn can be seen as phallic and so forth.

Hmm...apparently for once my mind never went for the dirty angle. So obvious.

Geoff's Douchebaggery is on full display yet again - forward to the 10:15 mark in this clip. Geoff seems to have taken a Todd La Torre move to dick-headed heights. Todd will grab a phone from a fan shooting footage, capture the crowd and the band playing, then hand the phone back to the fan. Pretty cool move by Todd. Instead, Tate notices a fan is shooting video with an i-phone, Tate sings into the phone, proceeds to grab phone from the fan and tosses it into the crowd making sure it goes far beyond the far who was filming. Fan now has no i-phone thanks to "The Geoff"

My Amazon review of Frequency Unknown.

Wow! What a c*nt. I would have jumped up on stage and beat his ass.

I'm am not a violent person at all, but I would do the same if it was my phone! The Geoff would have gotten his a$$ kicked is it was me!

With all the sh!t Tate has pulled in the past year, that one surprised me. What a farging ash hole!

What was going through Tate's mind when he threw the cellphone

Maybe whomever this
phone hits is a musician
or has a cousin who is so
I can find a replacement
for the next guy who quits
my band

First Rocklahoma and now this. It's like he's turning into a high school bully.

Nice. I posed a question about this on Geoff's QR Facebook page, asking how he and his sycophants justify doing that. It has been deleted and I can no longer comment on that page. Pffft! Pansies.

LOL!!!

That is hilarious spec. Almost spit out my coffee.

Spec...... that is effin' hilarious!!!!

The Geoff is back to his "I wrote 81% of the songs" crap again. Then the guy who is out on tour performing Operation:Mindcrime and other old hits, while not playing a single song of FU claims Queesnryche wanted to "rest on their laurels." He seems to be pretty delusion about that fact that he was fired for cause....

http://www.blabbermouth.net/news.aspx?mode=Article&newsitemID=190395

Regarding how the two different versions of QUEENSRŸCHE differ from each other musically, Tate said: "I think one of the situations, creatively, that came to a head and caused the breakup of the band was that you have a camp that was still exploring and still working to redefine themselves with every record. And you had a camp that wanted to stay the same. Sort of rest on their laurels and play the same kind of songs. So it's philosophical difference, really."

On how the split with his bandmates came about:

Tate: "After 30 years, I think we finally just reached a breaking point where things went awry and everyone felt that it couldn't be fixed. Of course, going about it all wrong we had an explosion, it all got cut up in the media and there's a court case. It's all very messy."

On his chances of coming up victorious in November when the dispute over the rights to the QUEENSRŸCHE name will finally be decided in court:

Tate: "It's a matter of who has put the most time and energy into it. I'm the major songwriter, I've written 81 percent of the songs in the QUEENSRŸCHE catalog. It's my creativity, my vision, my art. And it's about money. Down and dirty. It's about who has the money to buy the band."

Dude, what? He hasn't written a single song in his entire career!

No joke! He wrote LYRICS and some melodies, that's it. According to the rest of the band (court docs, interviews), DeGarmo came up with most of the vocal melodies (with help from Tate) which is easy to believe - just listen to the vocal melodies from any post-DeGarmo album.

Tate's been spouting that 81% stuff since he was fired.. along with "I was the creative force behind the band" crap.
