What's going on with QUEENSRYCHE?

Post by Chip Z'Hoy »

And last I checked in with G-Off Tatay, he was doing group tours, which actually looked kinda fun.

He doing okay? I understand he likes going past the speed limit on his motorcycle.

ToddRyche played the Epcot Flower and Garden Festival at Walt Disney World back at the end of March. And I thought Tate was doing a farewell tour? That’s about all I know right now.

I think it's just a 'farewell' to playing OM in it's entirety.
Do people really care that much any more about seeing it in it's entirety considered they played the fuck out of it for years.
I saw it three years in a row back in 2005, 06 and 07.

They should get Scott off the glass dick and do a real reunion. Everybody is still alive. They could headline all the summer European festivals.

Of course DeGarmo would never do it but goddamn that would be something.

They wouldn't even have to fire the treasure troll. He could do some of the heavy lifting on the vocals and jump around like Janick Gers the rest of the time.

I'd go see it with DeGarmo and Tate/LaTorre. Otherwise no interest. Sorry!

Like my fucking opinion means any fucking thing to any fucking one :lol:

What's going on? They fired their weirdo singer and became a really good cover band.

He wore bikini briefs and vests onstage and hocked loogies at his drummer and assaulted his bandmates.

And those are the least of his "weird" offenses. His promo video tells you all you need to know (and no, I don't fn have the link)

Here's an example:

Queensryche is a progressive metal band. I've heard them be compared to Pink Floyd and referred to as "thinking man's metal."

In 2010, Tate had Queenryche go on a "Queensrych Cabaret" tour. Tate work an open silk robe and tophat and had his wife and daughter prance around onstage in bizarre outfits while hula-hoopers, drag queens, and girls in cages danced around.

That kinda stuff pretty much alienated anyone who was ever a fan of QR. In addition to being lame, it was just weird, man.

When I saw them opening for Priest in 2022 they played all my favorite songs, stuff from RFO and earlier. I was so bored.

I caught that tour too and they were boring as hell. I think they were even boring themselves. I don't think they even played a full 45 minutes.

Dear lord, I had forgotten (or repressed?) how bad that Cabaret stuff was.

That's up there with Dennis DeYoung dresses up the poor Styx members for Kilroy was Here show in 1983 (Dennis' "the Wall" concept album! hahahaha)

Queensryche has summer tour dates. After that is a fall tour. In between, they are working on demos for the next studio cd.

Queensryche is coming around in Sept. with Accept & they are playing a small theatre, like 10 min from my house. Geoff Tate is coming around in Oct with the final OM in it's entirety, at a small theatre in Boston. While I have both on the calendar, I've yet to buy tix for either.

Geoff then continued to alienate fans with the Dedicated 2 Chaos album. That was an interesting period for me as a long time Ryche fan. I learned more about the band than I ever knew before with the court documents. Geoff and his wife had been in control for so long that he was totally blindsided when the other 3 voted to boot her out. From what I understand, he was good with Rockenfield for a while. That's why they weren't able to vote her out before.
