Geoff Tate

This girl's rant was stupid and she came off kinda dumb, but her other videos are pretty funny. This one is hilarious!

When I met the ALIVE III lineup of KISS (including, obviously, Gene and Paul) in 1993, they weren't charging for autographs and were nice as pie.

Just sayin'.

Everyone hates Scott Ian and says he's a jerk, but he gladly autographed my copy of Among The Living and had a nice chat.  

My buddy met KISS on the reunion tour (1996) and they kindly signed all the stuff he threw at them. (Of course knowing him he probably made a generous donation to some charity for them or paid Gene or something of that nature.) He told me that they were very kind, though Ace seemed the most disinterested and Paul just was scribbling to get the autographing out of the way as he seemed like he had other things to worry about than dealing with autograph searching fans. (Which is actually understandable considering what a Kiss show entails.)

I saw Quiet Riot opening for Ted Nugent, Slaughter and Night Ranger in 1999 and DuBrow was asking the girls to show him their tits. When they didn't respond he just gave a disgusted sigh and waved them off. I thought it was rather funny myself though it didn't paint the best picture of him in my mind.

And by the way, that song COLD is pretty good. I still wanna get this CD eventually.

That video is awesome. Racism!

That one is pretty good - she seems to doing "The Real Geoff Tate" (guy that calls into The Classic Metal Show podcast) version of The Geoff - it works well!

What would the Michael Wilton version of that look and feel like? I'm looking forward to it.

I saw that tour as well...Night Ranger DESTROYED the other 3...

There are about 5 songs on the album that I have to say are pretty good...then the other 5 range from kinda boring to flat out bad.

The Geoff reaches new lows.... Last night at the Queensryche CD release party, Tater sent Jason Slater (producer) and Jason Ames (now married to Parker's ex, Miranda Tate) to hand out flyers for Tatewreck's upcoming show in Seattle.... someone posted a pic of the flyer:

At least he's being honest that the rest of his "band" are merely "guests."

If everyone else is a guest that means that "Queensryche with original singer" is just one person. But then we already knew that, since it's been established that Tate wrote 80% of all Queensryche's songs.

It's actually 81% that Tater claims he wrote......

My bad. As penance I will lock myself in a room and listen to nothing but Dedicated To Chaos, American Soldier, Kings & Thieves and Frequency Unknown for 24 hours so that I can fully appreciate the genius that is Geoff Tate.

Do that and you will be taken away in a straight jacket!!!!

It's too bad Tichy is part of that, he's a phenom. But it's a paycheck.

Man, it'd be real hard for not to respond to something like that if I were in the band. Haha.

So far the band has been pretty good about taking the high road on this whole fiasco and letting Geoff look all the more foolish and petty. Gonna be tough to ignore this latest act of douchebaggery though.

Wow. Just wow.

I wonder how many of the flyers for TheGeoff were crumpled up and thrown right back in their faces

Well, according to stuff online, most of the fans just ignored Jason Ames or made comments that Tate sucks now. One did report that La Torre told the fan to "rip that shit in half" but the band didn't confront him.

I made a mistake, Ames is not married to Miranda Tate, but is rather the baby daddy (Tate's wife is the baby momma) - sounds like a reality TV show, real housewives of Seattle????

Could those flyers look any more cheap?

That's what I was thinking. Looks like they were typed up in Print Shop for the Commodore 64.

I bought Geoff Tate's version of Queensryche, and I hate to admit it, but I enjoyed it. Really sounds nothing like Queensryche (big shock there), it sounds more like modern rock then anything by Queensryche.

Not as horrid as I thought it would be but the re-recordings that were shoehorned in at the end of the disc were both pointless and unnecessary. Also shitty

Eh. I enjoy it, too. Some of it, anyway. There are some boring songs, some downright bad songs, a few good songs, and one or two great songs.

A kinda mediocre album as a whole, but the good songs elevate it a bit. Nothing wrong with enjoying that.

I was shocked I liked it as much as I did, good songs a few songs that are bit mediocre. Like everyone else I spent so much time bashing Geoff Tate who seems intent on committing career suicide, I heard a few songs and thought 'meh'. Still not a great album but better then what most have said about it. BTW those re-recordings of the classics where terrible, it does sound like his range his shot, or it could be the arrangements which were also unimaginative added to my dislike of the re-recordings of those tracks.
