FF is like Scott Pilgrim, sitting in front of the door waiting for his Amazon package to arrive 30 seconds after placing the order.

Years ago when I was doing a lot of CD trading through the mail, I used to drive my wife nuts...if I was waiting for something to come in the mail, I'd call her from work "Did I get any mail today? Did I get any mail today?" and if the answer was "no," I'd be all bummed out for the rest of the day. After a while she stopped taking my calls

And yet...this sort of behavior is strangely addicting...heheh...heheh...... *hands shaking, clicks over to eBay*....

Resisting the urge to text my wife "Did I get any mail today? Did I get any mail today?"

More like Wile E. Coyote... I was always jealous of how he could just drop his order to Acme Products into a mailbox and ZOOM! the mailman would instantly drive up and hand him a big box.

So finally an interviewer does a bit less than kiss Geoff's ass and asks pointed questions, and Geoff runs away like a wittle baby.

That was great!

Geoff: Um… no. I don’t understand actually what it is you’re asking. Expletives? What do you mean by that?

William: Here’s one of the lines from “Dare”: When you hit it doesn’t slow me down, I don’t give a F*ck about those threats you’re throwing ‘round. I mean, the song was even marked for having explicit content on the album.

(period of silence)

I loved the interview, even if Geoff Tate avoided answering any questions, and on the bright side the interviewer did not get spit on

Quote :

William: Before we get into the new album, I want to talk to you about the recent events involving Queensryche. Straight forward: Do you think you were unrightfully fired from the band?

Geoff: Well, you know I’m really not set up to talk about that kind of stuff right now. I’d rather that we talked about the new album and the tour, that kind of thing.

Not set up he's spent the last several months doing nothing but talk about that stuff ?

Dude, that's so yesterday. Let's move on and talk about my awesome band.......

Both sides are lame for different reasons.

Geoff's interviews seem to primarily consist of half-truths.

He could have easily said "It's in litigation right now and I can't talk about it". That's a reasonable exuse folks use all the time. But nooooooooo, not Geee-Offf. He can't do anything reasonable these days.

Good questions asked. None answered, not even what his favorite song was. Ridiculous.

On a different note, I need to get "F.U.". Ugh! I hate being BROKE!!!

'Need' is a very strong word.

Yep - I can't bring myself to buy it

I'm just wondering how many more months this fascination with "The Geoff" is going to last. People sure do seem to have a hard on right now for following every little thing he says or does just so they can blast it.

Seems like a really big waste of time.

True. Guess we just have to wait for somebody else to do something really stupid to take the spotlight away from Geoff.

Either that or it'll die down after the court date

LOL!!!!!

My money's on a Lars/James split, with a court battle over the name. Lars goes out on tour as Lars Ulrich's Metallica, starring Lars, the original drummer. The Geoff Tate Insania Experience (since this is after he loses in court) opens. Lars pisses Geoff off when he say that 'Insania tastes worse than Boones Farm." During "Nothing Else Matters", Geoff would come out and sing lead... he gets his "revenge" on Lars by spitting on him during the song......... Meanwhile, James and Kirk find a great dummer and release the best Metallica album since MoP.

i dont know - The Geoff seems hell bent on keeping the spotlight on him. I can watch the EPK video over and over and never get tired of it.

I think once the court case is over and the new Queensryche album is released, then it will die down.

I am not sure what Geoff Tate is going to do, even if he records an album that is universal ear orgasm, people are going to blast it because they are no longer judging the music by its merits (lack of) but the personality that created it.

He also does not help matters by his douche bag behavior

I watched a segment on a morning news magazine show yesterday and it showcased a man who used the marketing ploy of having people who purchased products his company made to offer up their opinions of them, good or bad. He said that for decades, advertising was always one sided and this "new" type of campaign was centered on creating controversary so consumers would do that "try it myself and see what I think" reaction. He said it has turned his company into a profitable enterprise. The first thing I thought of was Tate's rant contest.
