Geoff Tate Making Operation Mindcrime III

[AliceManson]

Can't wait to see how much worse this one is than the second.

Tate discussed his plans for "Operation: Mindcrime III" in a new interview with "Rock Of Nations With Dave Kinchen And Shane McEachern". Speaking about the musical direction of his new solo material, Geoff said (as transcribed by BLABBERMOUTH.NET): "I would say it has more of an early QUEENSRŸCHE feel. [The new songs are] super heavy, and some of 'em are incredibly technical. They're like algebra. [Laughs] You need a calculator when you're listening to the song. [Laughs] And, of course, some of them are very emotional. It's the last chapter in the 'Mindcrime' series. So it's following the exploits of Dr. X and Nikki and Sister Mary, and picks up at a particular point in their story and kind of does the microscope of what is happening at that particular time with them. And I am just in love with it. I am so happy with everything so far, and I can't wait for people to hear it."

Asked if there will once again be "some of those political interplays" within the lyrical themes on "Operation: Mindcrime III", Tate said: "Oh, I think so. Yeah, I think that people will be able to detect little bits of what's happening around them. And it's an interesting time right now — very interesting. Especially next week [after the 2024 U.S. presidential election], it's gonna be really interesting [laughs] what happens. So, we'll see."

Pressed about whether "a familiar voice" will play Dr. X on "Operation: Mindcrime III", Geoff said: "I can't tell you, actually. But thanks for asking. [Laughs]"

III=Ongoing saga of the vest

[Rocker4Real]

I predict he'll want to sing the entire album at a club near you.

[FreddyFender]

It would be the greatest troll if it turns out to be good.

No DeGarmo = not happening

No DeGarmo = not happening

No DeGarmo = No HITNF.
Duck FeGarmo, he ruined Queensryche with that album and sissy ballad faggotry on Empire and Promised.
Bridge was good but the rest....

No DeGarmo = not happening

After seeing the thread title, I was hoping to read that DeGarmo is helping in this endeavor. I concur with your assessment that his absence may hinder this album's release.

Maybe he'll have the same band that played on OM2 play on OM3.
And the comment "it's following the exploits of Dr. X and Nikki and Sister Mary, and picks up at a particular point in their story".
Sister Mary died in OM1 and is a ghost in OM2.
Dr X, which was Dio, was killed by Niki in the OM2.
So it's really OM1.5?

Isn't the main contributor Jason Slater dead?

I’m guessing it’s a prequel. We joined the original story with everything already in place.

His current band is a better Queensryche than current Queensryche. I’ll listen to this, what the fuck.

Hopefully it's as good as the Star Wars prequels!

Operation: Blindsheep Crime

Let the tin foil flow with conspiracists’ tears

[daveg]

Never really understood, or cared about the mindcrime story.

I quite liked the 2nd mindcrime album. I'll give this one a shot. Needs to be 9 or 10 songs(excluding the interludes)...and no more than 40 minutes.
