Queensryche... the end is near.

So evidently Queensryche's days are numbered....

 

Geoff Tate seems to have "lost the plot" completely (just gonna provide links if you wanna read up on the situation:

 

Operation KnifeCrime

 

Gonna Get Pissed At You

 

and now it looks like the band has found a "sound alike" replacement for Tate (

), and will be going out on tour doing material from the first 5 QR releases:

They will be touring under the moniker Rising West. I give 'em props for immediately realizing a new band name was called for (and Tate would probably block any attempts by them to tour as QR anyway). Shame it's all come to this, but I look forward to some new tunes from Rising West in the classic QR vein! \m/

Hooooboy. Put on your helmets, folks. This is gonna get UG-LY!!

 

On one hand, I'm like "It's about f*ckin' TIME!"

 

On the other hand, couldn't they have found someone else to play Tate Clone in their new combo? Lord knows there are more than enough of them out there, so why did they have to pinch Crimson Glory's guy? Cuz if this Rising West thing takes off, then Todd LaTorre's commitment to Crimson Glory will fall by the wayside and we'll NEVER get that new goddamn Crimson Glory album that's supposedly been in the works for...oh, three or four years last I checked?? :cussing:

I saw the M3 set and thought something was going on, they totally sucked. Just saw a little of the Rockahoma set and they seemed worse than M3 show. They were one of those bands I used to love, but lost all interest in the last 20 years or so.

I haven't watched them at M3 yet but I caught the last couple songs they did at Rocklahoma. I haven't seen Tate live for a while and man he looks rough. Looks like a fat Rob Halford. And the shirt he was wearing was too short so everytime he would raise his arms his gut would come flopping out. He sounded ok but left the stage before the band finished the last song "Eyes Of A Stranger". Just walked off and the band went into an extended jam and that was it. I thought it was very odd and I guess this explains things a bit.

well they should have call it quit after 'Empire' just don't know what are they waiting for :D

Agreed - they went rapidly downhill after 'Empire' ... and now Tate appears determined to completely tarnish the Queesnryche name ... pity ...

Yeah, I'd be lying if I said I'd every song they've recorded since 'Empire,' but what I've heard has all been stuff not worth recording. I agree they should have called it quits back then. I do feel for the other guys in the band, though. What a mess...

Its a shame it ends this way but it did need to end. The last album I have been able to stand is Hear in the Now Frontier. The last KILLER album was Empire and that was over 20 years ago.

 

 

RIP...

Although I've liked some of their recent stuff (OK I'm a nutjob) they've been treading water too long. Pity it's ended this way but something had to give I guess - not too many tears shed I'm afraid.

How the mighty have fallen. Sure, Queensryche haven't, arguably, done anything worth blowing a load in over twenty years, but, now, when I play Mindcrime for the 1000001st time, I won't help but think, "F**king Geoff Tate needs to eat bag of hairy old man dicks."

What can you say. He has completely lost it. It will probably not be an album as good as Mindcrime ever by any group...

 

We can hope that with Tate out of the way they will go back to more of a classic QR album. A dream would be if Degarmo comes back again. I think they need his great song writing abillities.

Geoff Tate at Rocklahoma "You Guys Suck" video:

 

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=d88du2GnAus

 

What a asshole...

 

he looks like Ming The Merciless

:rofl2:

 

I'm actually in that video at about the 1:00 mark right behind the guy with his hands in the air.

 

Talked to a couple people who shall stay nameless but it appears that Rocklahoma was Tate's last show with the band.

Why did you guys suck so bad Dave? ;)

 

At least you can say you got to see Tate perform w/Queensryche at his very last show.

The crowd sucked because Tate sucked. In tate's defense, the sound was terrible... the mix may have been the worst I've ever heard at a live concert. The prior night the sound was the same way during Megadeth. It seemed like they picked and choose who to give the good sound to.

    • Another Robert Mason post, but this time I really do feel a connection with it. I'm sure I've mentioned it before, but my name is Dustin.  Everybody calls me Dusty, so when I saw the new Warrant album (Rockaholic) featured not only one of my favourite vocalists, but also included a track called Dusty's Revenge, I couldn't believe it. I then find out that it's a concept album about a "Rockaholic" called Dusty. For obvious reasons, I love this album. Here's a couple of tracks.      
    • Harpsichord.    I thought of it and it was random, so there you go.
    • From their FB page: Alcatrazz wish to make the following announcement: Back in late 2020 the brilliant Doogie White came in to help us out with our then already booked live dates after the departure of the previous vocalist (those dates were ultimately postponed to late 2021 due to the Covid lockdowns). We all had a GREAT time...and thus, one thing led to another and before we knew it we had made two fantastic albums and toured considerably in a nearly 4 year period. Now our schedule is getting busier and busier, as is Doogie's with his very fine solo work... and with that, the inevitable clashing of dates in our respective diaries, and needless to say, the impossibility of him being able to be in two places at one time. We remain on very very good terms with Doogie and cannot thank him enough for his contributions to the band, he is very welcome on our stage anytime, as are all past Alcatrazz alumni. Current Warlord vocalist and someone already known to many Alcatrazz fans (as co-producer and also contributing songwriter for Alcatrazz's past 3 albums) Giles Lavery will be stepping up for the 2024 live dates - and with that we will be reintroducing many songs from the Alcatrazz past, including some not played in many years. Giles's first show is 22nd of March in New Orleans, lets all make him feel welcome and please lets also give a massive thank you to our dear friend Doogie White for everything he gave to this band since 2020, he is a true pro and a great person! Doogie has a video message to the fans that we will share later today as well. Jimmy, Gary, Joe, Larry.
    • Maybe it's because I've heard GnR a couple thousand times by now, but I much prefer "Fall to Pieces" by Velvet Revolver over "Sweet Child o Mine" at this point in my life.   
    • I'll have to investigate that Durbin. I'd count Striker and Mick Mars among the best metal releases as well now that I think about it. 
    • Haven't picked up Saxon yet, but as far as metal goes, I love the new Durbin album as well.
    • I wasn’t thrilled with the singles as they came out, other than “The Serpent and the King”, but I’ll be damned if they haven’t grown on me while listening to them as part of the cohesive package that is “Invincible Shield”. I broke down and picked up the Target exclusive to get the three bonus tracks, and I enjoy them too. Overall, a damn fine addition to the JP discography. Is it better than “Firepower“? I’m not there yet, but time will tell. 🤔 This one and Saxon have set the bar pretty high for metal this year. 👍
    • Agree with this. Though I think you should check out Firepower. You can get it real cheap new everywhere. It is molten. I'm also enjoying Invincible very much and 2024 new music as a whole.
    • I remember my early days on the internet joining a group on Yahoo (yeah thats how long ago it was) and the woman who created the group was trying to persaude me how great Creed was, so much so that she sent me the first two albums on CD. I had no idea what they sounded like. When I played them all I could think is that they sounded like Pearl Jam, and I fucking hate Pearl Jam. I ended up trading them for something better. I can't remember the ins and outs of it, but I somehow shared my CD collection online and she noticed straight away that the Creed CDs were not listed. She asked me why and I said I sold them as really did not like them, and got something I did like. She never spoke to me again after that
