    Boring as hell!!!
    I was there. Totally lame. Seen them twice opening for Metallica in '89 and opening for Ozzy in '87 (Rage tour). I couldn't stop laughing at their
    douchey costumes. Very ghey look. The only thing that saved the Mindcrime shows was the on screen visuals. Tate is the worst frontman in Rock/Metal...
    Trolls take heed...LOG OUT & FUCK OFF!!!

      Funny thing is some reviewers rip on Dave about how he can't sing perfect. But just look how much of a great frontman he is. Tate sings perfect and is fucking lame. Which would you rather have? Which would the fans rather have? People go to shows to have fun. Geoff tate is not fun.

        Sorry to see Tate self-destruct....had some unique features.....the notes can be replaced but the tone will not be...

        RIP QR.

        Won a radio contest to see them and Whitesnake in Seattle. Great Gig as afterwords got to see "The Tempest" at the Rep Theater also.

        RIP QR.

          Wow I haven't seen Geoff Tate in years, the bald magician look was a bit startling to me. He is playing a solo show at club called The Canyon in LA area on June 7th. Maybe he already split with QR.

            This is nuts. Tate really needs to get looked at, like Judy Gunderson's son's penis.
            Oh well...

              Saw QR but it was so lame I don't remember the time, place, or songs.

                    Is Tate a fruit? Wow. I guess I haven't paid attention in awhile. He looks fucking weird! Can still sing though.

                      Sonofabitch!!! I got sucked into this AGAIN!!!
                      I got one of those boxes you can watch YouTubes
                      on your TV with. Watching QR at M3 and even the
                      fucking dogs walked out of the room. How painful.
                      This band looks morose and just going thru the motions.

                        I just fast forwarded thru "Jet City Woman"
                        because I absolutely hate that fucking song.

                          Last summer in NYC had to choose between QR or a Pink Floyd Cover band and opted for the latter after watching a few youtubes of their shows...never regretted it...

                              4 kids and his wife is their manager.

                              He does seem to suffer from PMS though.

                              The last time I saw them 6 years ago he acted like a total huffy pissy dick to the audience from the start for no understandable reason. This after I had spent 5 hours travelling to the gig.

                              I think his problem is that he doesn't like heavy rock music and that they completely peaked 20 years ago and in every way have been inferior ever since.

                              Compare this performance to what they have become.




                              Apparently the last album was a sack of shit. I never got past the second song which was about someone addicted to wireless internet hotspots...

                                Wow! At least with drugs you had the kind of romantic artist thing going on - addicted to internet hotpsots. Far out. Fellas on another planet.
