The duet with his daughter brought a tear to my eye when I first heard it- in a good way, not a Dedicated To chaos way! I really felt it, got the message it was meant to portray, and that's not something that happens to me often.

I agree. However, although I understand what they were going for, they could have and should have gotten a better child vocalist. After the initial novelty wore off, rather than having the powerful emotional impact the song should have, I am simply distracted by how bad Emily's (and Geoff's, for that matter) vocals are.

i've not listened to it enough for that to happen I guess, and I found the fact that Emily's voice wasn't "professional" made the impact more real. And Geoff has screwed his voice, and for that I lost alot of respect for him.

Eh, that song with his daughter was horrible. It was completely contrived. It wasn't believable at all to me. Particularly seeing them do it live.

i also think a child singer (who is a real singer) should have sang the part. Honestly, the contrived part of that tune was that tate was trying to get Silent Lucidity pt. 2 to my ears.

Since we're on a bit of a nostalgia trip, I was watching this the other day and I literally felt pain in my heart that this is lost forever. The music, the performance, the atmosphere... what happened to these guys and how is beyond me.

Please do not post song links from illegitimate sources.

That's alright, it was originally missed but recently reported, just know in the future to link from official band and labels.

np. Promised Land.

Awesome! Great!

How come album containing this great song (and a few others) have sold over million copies? And this is prog rock. Differs so much of what's popular these days.

If you are asking how an album like this sold over a million copies (your wording is rather confusing), I think it probably did well sales-wise because of Empire, which was hugely popular and had a handful of very successful mainstream rock hits. Promised Land is all kinds of awesome, but while loved by the hardcore fanbase, it didn't connect with the casual fan nearly as well as the two previous albums. I probably put myself in the middle of those two categories; I was never a major hardcore fan, but I was way more than a casual fan.

Ruba · « **Reply #882 on:** March 21, 2012, 04:17:47 AM »

Yes, Empire was popular, but it is much easier album. But the sales of Promised Land (and DT charting #1 twice in Finland) keeps me having some trust for good music occasionally hitting the mainstream.

I used the band index thread to find the QR thread, and this is the one that came up. Seems old, but I couldn't find the newer thread using the search function for some reason. Anyway, Ray Alder from Fates Warning recently commented on QR's Brazil Incident:

Link: https://www.bravewords.com/news/211107

BraveWords: Before, you mentioned the tour Fates Warning did with Queensrÿche and Dream Theater. Could you see trouble brewing between Geoff Tate and the other members of Queensrÿche?

Ray Alder: "I didn't really see it coming; we played with them in Sao Paulo, when the whole thing went down. It was crazy, it was really insane. I mean, literally, there was security on stage and the promoters were freaking out. And everything went on that night and then the band left. I was hanging out with Geoff later, and we went to a bar. It was just the funniest thing - Geoff and I sat there…and talked about scotch. We didn't talk about what the hell just happened! It was the weirdest thing, I don't know why it came up. But no, I did not see that coming. But I think Queensrÿche is Queensrÿche - it's not Geoff Tate. Unfortunately, it just didn't work out, and they went their own ways. I like the new Queensrÿche album."

Wow. It is still unbelievable what an awful singer Tate has allowed himself to become. And he is clearly totally clueless about that fact.

wolfking · « **Reply #900 on:** October 30, 2013, 04:38:26 AM »

I seriously can't get over the backing vocals. Check I Don't Believe in Love if you haven't already.

Also, Glen Drover is still a smart man. But if he were in teh band, he would have made this band somewhat listenable, and would have at least played the songs correctly.

Oh good grief. You'd think the Queensryche Cabaret was the lowest moment in their career, but seeing this amateur hour lot masquerading as Queensryche is possibly worse.

Tate sounds in pain any time he goes past middle-C and has forgotten how to sing softly without producing the sound entirely from his nasal cavaty. The keyboard player is just cheerleading (that intro to Best I Can - just lol), the second guitarist actually conspires to make Kelly Gray's hamfisted guitar playing not seem all that bad, Rudy Sarzo seems to be trapped in 1985 and manages to make a mess of the intro to Jet City Woman, the backing vocals downright hurt (and what's with the inability to pronounce "I" in the chorus of Lucidity???!?) and there's so many fuck-ups you'd have to assume they've never played together before.

Abysmal.

The most shocking part of everything you mention is that it reveals you watched/listened to more than 3 minutes of this.

Aren't these guys fairly reputable musicians? If I was asked to be in a band that is ripping off another bands name I would say no. It's not like Tate was wronged in anyway, he was no longer meeting the rest of the bands standards and was let go. Now he's intentionally trying to cause shit by using the same name. Also I think keeping the name Queensryche is the only way he can cling to any sort of fame.
