"We're fans of rock music from all the way back, and we were just sitting around talking, and we came up with this idea -- 'Wouldn't be fun if…?' So here we are."
Queensryche have enjoyed positive reviews for their first album with new singer Todd La Torre. But don't expect to hear any praise from La Torre's predecessor, Geoff Tate, who's touring and recording with his own version of Queensryche.
Geoff Tate's Queensryche has changed its lineup so many times that it's hard to keep track of who's in the band at any given moment -- and as it turns out, that's exactly the way Tate likes it.
Geoff Tate was the voice of Queensryche for years, so it stands to reason that after he was fired from the band and decided to strike out on his own, he was counting on the continued support of his longtime fans. Unfortunately for Tate, it hasn't exactly worked out that way.
Well, you can't say Queensryche singer Geoff Tate isn't a good sport. In a new YouTube clip, the vocalist reacts to a barrage of incredibly vitriolic fan reviews of the group's new album, 'Frequency Unknown.'
The video is the result of a unique contest that Tate and his record label dreamed up to promote the recent release, which has proven quite controversial among longtime Queensryche fans...

When you take your former bandmates to court, start a new band with the same name, and release a record with a big 'F.U.' on the cover, you're pretty much picking a fight -- so Geoff Tate can't be surprised that his Queensryche replacement, Todd La Torre, isn't mincing words about where things stand between them.
Simply hate the new album from Geoff Tate's Queensryche? Interested in winning a bunch of Queensryche-related goodies anyway? Here's your chance to blow off some stream, and you might just claim some cool prizes from Tate.
