    I would deny them access too. Make a Rising West facebook page to promote it.

    And that ass douche Tate is sending me emails about his solo dates and wine tasting events that do not have any kind of "unsubscribe" link on them, so he has stolen Queensryche's email list as well.

    Looking at this thread it occurred to me that that in my mind QR has always been the abbreviation for Quiet Riot, not Queensryche.

    Be interesting to see if Tate and his wife try and get a new Queensryche together.

    That's what usually seems to happen these days.

    I think you can try to go that route if you have the support of the fans but I don't see ANYONE out there who has Tate's back in all this. The fans feel abused and we see that he has wiped his ass with the Queensryche name in serial fashion.

    Who has control of the name? I'm leaning towards Tate if he is controlling the bands websites. This is just gonna suck for both sides. You can't have a singer as powerful & unique sounding as Tate and then change & be the same band. As for Tate, he went from mildly-cool rock star guy to full flaming weirdo so he won't keep the fan base either.

    Maybe for the best?

    Perhaps they aren't doing that well right now. But in 5 years they can reunite and tour and it will be some big deal everyone just HAS to see?

    That's pretty cool man. I'd be curious to know what the pay is for a gig like this. How much band members actually get a check for. How much Tate will get a check for. I assume it isn't much but similar to how big contractors take jobs even if they know they will lose money.......because they lose less money taking the small job than not working at all. Keep the machine rolling type thing.

    So has this "break up" been in the works for a while? (prior to the fight that started this thread) How much time does a backing band need to gel together & learn all the songs he will play?

    If your friend is bored before the show lemme know. I know the best coffee shop here. I'll hook him up - on me of course. Roth Army hospitality is world wide!

    Operation Mindcrime is absolutely sensational. From start to end. It's similar to The Wall in that the whole album tells a story. Maybe a bit deep for a 1st Queensryche listen but stellar.

    I would suggest Rage For Order. But also check out these songs on youtube....

    Take Hold of the Flame
    The Lady Wore Black

    !
    Yes.

    Donny is a pro, doubt he needed more than 2 rehearsals.

    The latest. It seems as though every word of this is carefully phrased.

    http://www.eddietrunk.com/index.cfm/...123/pid/400512

    It almost sounds like there may be some wrangling over the future use of the name going on.

    I have more sympathy with them than say Van Halen or Guns N Roses.

    These people are not going to be independently wealthy, they won't be more than a little beer money from royalties and they are in their 50s probably with no pension.

    The only decent money to be made is by playing live as Queensryche.

    I think in a year or two when Tate finds himself playing to 300 people in a bar in upstate NY he'll maybe wake the fuck up.
