Asshole? You make the call:

I already thought he was an asshole long before this incident.

 

Seriously, my opinion of the guy erodes a little further every time another one of his douche moves is revealed... this is only the latest.

Despite all the bad shit I've read/heard about him, I've always tried to give the guy the benefit of the doubt (two sides to every story and all that). But apparently in his case the reputation is accurate: he's a gigantic douche.

Douchebag with a capital D.

Call him what you want he's still one of the best metal singers that ever lived.

[Mullethead]

Reinforced....major asshole.

[Nightrain]

Piece of crap really

[Nick C]

Wow! Just digs himself deeper and deeper into the crap hole he's put himself in. W.A.D. (What a Dick) maybe he thinks he has some kind of godlike status on stage that elevates him above everyone else, acting like that doesn't exactly endear you to fans especially when you're trying to create a buzz about your new "cabaret" version of QR - ok I imagine it can get annoying having an camera phone stuck in your face mid song but his reaction was a tad shitty.

It's a pity that now when I listen to classic QR I'll be reflecting on what a nobhead was singing for them (not just from this incident so much, but for past ones)....maybe it's age related though and I can get around it by thinking that hahaha!

There was no excuse for it. None! It looked to me like he was singing in to the phone then decides to chuck it. Someone lost their phone trying to be a fan. Probably now an x-fan....

WAS one of the best metal singers. He hasn't been able to sing like the old days for a long time now.

 

And I don't forgive him any dickhead behavior just because of whatever talent he may have.

Have to agree. How many great singers are out there and not being a prick to the fans? Countless...

Absolutely -- you'd never see Halford or Dickinson behaving like this. Those guys are class acts.

Geoff Tate has lost touch with reality. He needs to disappear forever.

[KarpetRydOFunk]

Gotta love all the people trying to support him in the comments below.

The guy filming obviously is (was) a huge supporter and Tate pisses in his face. What an absolute DICK MOVE! Asswipe of epic proportions!!!
