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

[jhale667]

Yep, you pretty much nailed it...by not playing into his drama - even if it meant getting spat on and letting him get in a free shot, they're not "pussies" they've clearly shown he's both unprofessional as hell AND the aggressor...


If Pete's article is "Exhibit 6", you better believe that YouTube is somewhere on the exhibit list too...

To be honest lounge never thought of it that way but the way you have presented it makes a lot more sense in the cold light of day ... Good call

A witness comes forward. A witness with a bone to pick with Tate that is.

He never said anything.

I talked to a guy tonight I am aquainted with that knows everyone involved. He lives somewhat nearby and was featured on one of their recent albums and worked for them for awhile, now he works for Cinderella. He said the whole thing made him sad but he wouldn't get into any specifics about the whole thing, he said they had been exceptionally good to him, he owed them too much and liked them all and didn't wanna take sides. Very classy on his part, one of the reasons I like this guy so much.

Queensryche guys get first victory in court against Tate and are allowed to tour using the name "Queensryche".

What's next, The Geoff Tate Experience ??


Sent from your moms junky droid...

It's not Queensryche, anymore than VH was Van Halen without Dave.

I still say they should have beat Tate's ass. Fuck a moral victory.

They better come out with a ripping album, or they are going to look as dumb as Tate does.

Anybody think Tate will end up forming a new band with DeGarmo?

No, I was actually kinda wondering if Tate being a dick was what originally caused Degarmo to bail in the first place...

Probably...

At this point that would involve DeGarmo taking a major pay cut...

He's doing quite well as a professional pilot these days, isn't he?

[Von Halen]

Why? What's he doing now.

The best thing Tate could do, would be to get him back and come out with a great album. At this point, that is his only chance at gettng back at those guys. He really made himself look like a fool with that spitting stuff.

[vandeleur]

After reading some of this shit and watching various youtubes there is a good arguement to be made that any serious musician would treat tate as a cautionary tale and avoid him like the plague.

Yeah I'm assuming flying Lear Jets pays more than the Geoff Tate solo project at this point.

Especially considering the wages of his 10 family members you have to find before you make anything...
