Queensryche planning to fire Geoff Tate? Backstage knife drama!!

[LoungeMachine]

Advise him to bring a shield to protect against knives!

It wasn't a knife, it was a corkscrew.......

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?

!

Yes.

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

I searched & found this. (place holds maybe 550 people if sold out

Most of them will be there to see Puppet Show, no doubt.

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

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.

When I'm throwing a beer bottle at his head...

Umm...he will be playing to 300 people next week. A year or two?

But I think with an ego the size of his that it will take some time to sink in. In his mind he probably was being held back by those other losers who aren't bright enough to grasp his vision and now he's free to begin conquering the world............................................. ...................like Chickenfoot.

I can understand the Queensryche infighting though. I mean they are fighting over hundreds of dollars here.

[sadaist]

you guys suck.....meh, kinda blown out of proportion. not that big a deal.

[sadaist]

AHA! I understand why the Rocklahoma crowd sucked now. It all makes perfect sense.




OH MY FUCKING GOD!

Pause it at 1:10. The big screen pic of Michael Anthony. THEY CUT OUT DAVID LEE ROTH!!!

Am I wrong? Sure as fuck looks like a famous old VH band photo to me.

Tater is blown out of proportion....not that big a deal.

He is wanting to be a world-famous wine taster these days.

Or maybe he was tripping on LDS when he saw the Disney film Aladdin.

[jhale667]

You still talkin about QR?

Wait, which one?

[Hardrock69]

Just realized something....has Tater been dating Rob Halford lately?
