Pretty horrible - it's obvious The Geoff doesn't care anymore and he's just doing these shows to 1) pad his bank account and 2) pay his legal bills. Tate was amazing back in the day but now, there is no way I would include him in the greatest metal singer conversation.
He does, however, have Rudy Sarzo swing from his nut sack:
Asked what it is like to perform with Geoff Tate's version of QUEENSRŸCHE, Sarzo said: "Geoff Tate is, to me, of his generation the finest composer, singer, frontman that ever was, of that generation. [He is] a joy to work with, to be in the band, to be in his company, to hear his voice on stage… off stage [as well], because he sings a lot off stage too. And he's got a wonderful band, including my brother [Robert] is in it. And also members of the QUEENSRŸCHE family that have been around for a long time, like Kelly Gray, Randy Gane… all those guys. And also I get to play with my old DIO rhythm section bandmate Simon Wright, so it's a very joyful occasion… It's a family. Absolutely. Otherwise, after a year, we wouldn't [still] be doing this. [Laughs]"
Regarding whether Tate includes him in the songwriting process, Sarzo said: "You know, what happened was, even before we went out on tour, Geoff needed to come out with a record to make a statement. So I played on three tracks [on the 'Frequency Unknown' album], [but] I was not part of the [songwriting] process [because] we weren't a band yet. So hopefully in the future, we'll be part of the [songwriting] process too."
I am still wonder how Rudy can actually make those statements with a straight face.
Saw that, and I'll quote my reply to that post:

That was f***ing sad.

Maybe everything that's happening is actually part of the ultimate rock-redemption concept album, in which Queensrÿche breaks the fourth wall in its creation and performance.

The beginning of "Breaking the Silence" is a mess, too. It looks like Oven-Mitts begins playing "I Don't Believe in Love," and then when he starts playing the right riff, Sarzo starts playing a riff that I'm not even sure is a Queensryche riff. It sounds like this:

It'd be funny if you got tickets to a show featuring Queensryche, Saxon and Rhapsody. Then once you got there, realized it's Luca Turilli's Rhapsody, Oliver & Dawson Saxon and Tatesryche.

Why is it that everything he does lately ends up being a parody in a bad way?

They keep pushing the date out - supposedly pretty close to a settlement with The Geoff.... which is probably why he is trying to get his post-being able to use the name legally Queensryche career...... but, judging from the latest video it looks like career suicide....

What is The Geoff's fascination with drag queens and cabaret? Is there something he needs to tell us?
