Give me Operation:Mindcrime the album.

That is all.

Carry on.

Operation: Yawn Time.

"Burn" a great idea of what to do with any copies of this garbage. Give the ProTools hard drive of the masters to Hillary Clinton, so she can have them erased.

Burn. It's what this dumbass did to all the bridges between himself and most fans with his shitbag attitude. Also what he did to the bridge between himself and the band that made him famous with his dictatorial attitude and douche bucket tendencies. Queensryche went to hell when DeGarmo bailed on them.(more than likely after having enough of Mr. Tate and his Massengil complex) lol

Like Ally said, given Geoffs huge ego and various projects 2015 doesn't care about; I listened to the music only. It's not bad It's Tate using queensryche sound etc and talking at end giving people what he thinks they want.

That being said, I have original QR music and don't need rehash.

Here's an idea, all BBG CHIP IN $.10 buy on album and get Tate to donate his Protools software to Anvil! Problem solved!!

[Shawn]

All well said and great idea Kixchix I am willing to donate to that cause. have a great weekend everyone!

Just horrible. Sounds like a very bad version of Queensryche, just like there last several CDs with Geoff. Thankfully, the real Queensryche have gotten themselves back on track. There last CD was really good and, fingers crossed, their new one will be even better. As for Geoff, what a waste of singing talent. Buffoonery of the highest order.

I'm off to cleanse my ears of this nonsense by listening to a real song called "Burn", Deep Purple 1974!

Really, what the h*ll happened to this guy?

I think he lost it after he couldn't hit the high notes anymore. He's probably drunk on his own wine, not just his ego.

All his cray-cray is just subconscious bluster in an attempt to distract from the fact he just can't do it any more.

What a catastrophe... and such a far cry from "Queen of the Reich", one of THE greatest metal songs ever!

p.s. Ace! Some of THE funniest sh*t yet, as usual. Better figure out a way to roll that into your book, too!

[Metalboy!]

There's no question, Tate lost the plot long ago, however, the concept of the video is cool and I love the whole scene with the guitarist during his solo.

It also would have been a lot cooler if the prop car had been a 1980-1992 body style triple white Cadillac Fleetwood limo.

Probably too late to get a response, but I will ask: comparing the new version of Q and OM, which band is doing the bigger business in selling nostalgia?

Tate seems odd to me, always has. But I loved his voice. And still, I found the whole band disintegration disingenuous on both sides. Tate is a spitting loon; we are band held for ransom. Freed from it all, both sides go back to the well.

It strikes me as strange. If the band wanted a classic sound, why did it not happen until this point (with all principals having an equal share in the band's decisions?). If Tate wanted a new sound and feel, and was now free to follow that path--a path he started with Q--why did he return to the sound that drew them apart?

Me? Personally? I think both sides share more blame in the story than they let on. I think that Tate is an egomaniac with stage presence. I think the rest were far too lax too care until things got personal. Meanwhile, DeGarmo flies above it all (sometimes literally).
