HA, you're right! Geoff would tell me I suck! Met him and thought he was an ass and completely full of himself. He came off as a slimy, used car salesman - polished, fake charm and feeding you complete bullshit with a big smile on his face. Geoff has a HUGE ego and Rob is very humble. Geoff only likes people that kiss his ass and Rob gets very uncomfortable when you compliment him. Geoff lost his voice a long time ago and Rob STILL HAS IT!! As Parker from QR said, there are 2 Queensryche's: one that will be playing the songs the way they were written and originally done and the other tuned WAY THE FUCK DOWN! HA! That is why Rob will always be #1 with me!!!
Don't get me wrong, Mindcrime is neck and neck with The Warning for me. But Take Hold Of The Flame breaks the tie for me. DAMN I Love that song!! And Todd can sing it, so I'll finally get to hear it the way it is supposed to be sung! The last time I heard it sung well was back during the Promised Land tour in '95. They played it when they opened for Priest during the AOR tour and it totally SUCKED!!! Oh wait, maybe it was US that SUCKED!
What?! You'd put "The Warning" in front of "Operation: Mindcrime"? No way! As Geoff would say, you suck! LOL!!!
(all kidding aside, I am on the fence with Geoff's comment to the crowd below. They DID suck! Tell them, though? I dunno. WWRD = What Would Rob Do? Well, certainly NOT the below!)

If you listen to anything, listen to Take Hold Of The Flame from the album The Warning. My favorites in order would be: The Warning, Operation Mindcrime, Queensryche (self titled EP released independently in 1982), Rage for Order and Empire. Any of these albums are worth listening to. Geoff had a great voice back in the day and knew how to write. After Empire, they just went downhill.....

I confess I have listened to very little, if any, Queensryche (sp? LOL!). What earlier albums of theirs are good?

Great, something to really look forward to...... when I have insomnia! I think he's been drinking too much of his own wine
We are going to see the 3 original members of QR in December. Bet it'll be a hell of a show - they are playing all the old QR stuff that Geoff refused to sing, EP through Empire

Just heard the new Geoff Tate tune on Eddie Trunk's radio show. Zzzzzzzzzzzzzz....
I think Mr. Tate ran out of words. Repeats a lot. Repeats a lot. Repeats a lot.
