And this news comes a day after this interview had been posted: https://www.blabbermouth.net/news/geoff-tate-is-not-interested-in-or-comfortable-with-what-the-queensryche-name-means-now/

So you're not comfortable with the Queensryche name, but giving your band a name that will always be associated with QR is ok?

I'm not sure what to say after reading that. I simply have a very hard time believing that a human being can be literally that full of shit. I apologize to the mods if I'm stepping over a line by saying this, but I seriously wonder if he's suffering from some sort of mental disorder. I used to hold this man in such high regard, as I'm sure that many others did as well. It's baffling to see what he's become.

This. He's become deluded. And I used to love the guy. Thinking man's metal - that was him (and CDG). Now he's doing his thinking with his dick. What thinking he's even doing.

And MC? Sounds like any QR tribute band doing the rounds. And that's what he's become. Only he can't sing the songs.

Fix'd, and then I agree.

[King Postwhore]

Why is it the delusional never get the real pulse of the fans?  He's lost so much with his antics over this decade.

Fucking terrible.  It's like he's completely tone deaf now, he has no sense of tone or melody anymore whatsoever.

I thought that was the best he's held a tune in ages 

[The Dark Master]

Oh, I can't wait to see the advertisements for this "band":

"Tonight, at your local dive bar, it's OPERATION: MINDCRIME!  Featuring ex-Queensryche singer and creator of the original epic concept album 1988's OPERATION: MINDCRIME and it's 2006 sequel OPERATION MINDCRIME II, Geoff Tate, performing  OPERATION MINDCRIME and OPERATION: MINDCRIME II in their entirety!"

That is just as good as that comment I saw on Blabbermouth when Tate went with his "Queensr˙che Starring Geoff Tate - The Farewell Tour" phase.

How bout "Queensr˙che The Farewell Tour-Starring Geoff Tate. The Voice Of Queensr˙che. The visionary who brought you Operation: Mindcrime and Operation: Mindcrime II. The look, sound, taste and smell of Queensr˙che. The absolute dead last time Queensr˙che starring Geoff Tate "The voice of Queensr˙che" will ever perform on this the final farewell tour."

He couldn't carry a tune in a bucket these days. Its like he's forgotten how to sing. That nasally thing he does in Silent Lucidity is awful.

[jingle.boy]

I'm just not even wasting my time to check these things out.  I've had my share of lolz watching/listening to GT the past couple of years, not sure watching this would do anything other than make me rage that I spent ANY time dedicated to him.

[jjrock88]

I'm with Chad, I'm done too

[?]

Is anyone else amused by the "performed in over 46 countries" bit?

[King Postwhore]

I'm just not even wasting my time to check these things out.  I've had my share of lolz watching/listening to GT the past couple of years, not sure watching this would do anything other than make me rage for order that I spent ANY time dedicated to him.

Fixed!

[ariich]

Is anyone else amused by the "performed in over 46 countries" bit?

47 countries.

[Mister Gold]

So yeah, apparently Todd and Glen Drover teamed up recently to do a song together! They've posted a teaser on YouTube and say it'll be available for downloading on Friday. From the sound of the preview, I'm hoping they eventually do a whole album together, because this sounds terrific!

[abydos]

This sounded good, reminded me of what Sanctuary could sound now.

[bosk1]

Nice!  I will have to keep my eyes peeled for that.  Sounds really good.

[jjrock88]

This sounds excellent

Fuck yeah, this just sounds like Eidolon with Todd.  Full album please!

[jammindude]

47 countries.

At least he didn't claim it was 81% of all the countries.

It's straight up my alley. Also reminds me a lot of Nevermore and Fates Warning too!

You should  check out some Eidolon, pretty damn good.  The last album they did had Nils K Rue on vox.

The song "Discordia" is available for digital download on iTunes and Amazon now! Here's my little review for the song:

"Discordia" shows off several other sides to Todd's vocals that we didn't really get to hear on the recent Queensryche album and really shows off Glen's incredible chops. It all comes across as a wicked blend of "No Exit"-era Fates Warning, King Diamond and Nevermore. In other words, this song is almost five minutes worth of quality prog metal! I'd love to see these two do a full album together at some point in the future.

Also, this is almost definitely Todd's best vocal performance to date.

[TAC]

Just heard this. WOW!

That's a great description.

Do you think the guys in Queensryche can pull off something like this?? I'll believe it when I hear it..

Thanks man! I posted that review on my Facebook page and both Glen and Todd liked it (Glen even responded with a thanks and Todd liked a few of the responses too). Felt pretty happy about that.

Do you think the guys in Queensryche can pull off something like this?? I'll believe it when I hear it..

No, of course not. But that's partially because this is something very different from Queensryche. While Todd is the perfect guy for Queensryche, I think he's at his absolute best and really defines his own personal voice when he sings heavier material. He really loves to get gritty and throw in all sorts of stuff into the mix when he can, while it seems he has to generally sing clean all the time in Queensryche.

[bl5150]

It's a shame that with all the time that passed we never got a Crimson Glory album with Todd on it either 

[Mister Gold]

Having spoken with Todd myself a couple of times before, I can say that he'd be the first person to agree with you. He really regretted how things turned out with CG and contrary to popular belief, I'm rather confident he would've left CG even he hadn't joined Queensryche. The only reason we even got to hear the demo for Garden of Shadows was because Todd cared about actually putting material out there.

Queensryche playing The Whisper a few nights ago - a few dud notes from Todd but overall ........well , so much better than The Vest could do.  Hopefully playing all this stuff with Todd gets them back into the groove for the new album.  I listened to the s/t a few days back and to be honest I downgraded my rating on it quite a bit - I think I was so happy to hear QR sounding like QR when it came out that I had rose tinted glasses.

It's pretty much Eidolon with Todd on the mic.

Luckily for Tate he's still the favorite singer of at least one person. That guy happens to be... Geoff Tate: https://www.blabbermouth.net/news/geoff-tates-favorite-singer-is-still-geoff-tate/
