Where did things go from there? It forced us into trying to talk sense into them, our manager and myself and our business manager, trying to get them to see this was not a good deal.
Why were they so adamant about taking money out of our pockets and handing it to somebody else? Our manager found another company that would do it for considerably less and they ultimately went with that. How about musically? Were you guys seeing eye-to-eye on the sound of the band at this point?
Well, this is kind of a weird situation too. Queensryche has always been my idea, starting from the first record. Queensryche is about albums. I am the creative energy in the band, especially since Chris left. When he was in the band it was more of a shared thing between him and I. But once he left, the burden was on me. How did they feel about the last album?
How about the Cabaret tour? Did they like that idea? Everybody signed up for it and we ran out and did a very successful tour with that.
So they never once said to you they were unhappy with anything that you were doing? No, never. So in February you started arguing about the merchandise business. How did things go from there? You played some shows after that. We had quite a few dates on the books. The plan was that we were all going to be doing some side projects and then we were gonna do a handful of Queensryche dates throughout the year.
Everybody was going off and doing their own thing this year, and then we were going to regroup in for a big tour. The story on the Internet goes that you overheard them plotting to fire you and then you pushed Michael to the floor and pointed a knife at Scott. What actually happened? Well, you know how the Internet goes. The way it went was, we had a gig in Sao Paolo, and before the show we had a meeting in the dressing room.
I was definitely concerned about this. What kind of plan was that? Was it serious? What was going on? Listen to "Geoff Tate " on Spreaker.

There are also a lot of people that were, like, 'Damn, he hits those high notes,' 'Wow, they're not downtuning,' 'Man, I haven't heard 'Child Of Fire' in forever,' and 'They're playing 'The Warning' and all of these other deep cuts like 'Roads To Madness' in their entirety instead of just doing a medley.
I wasn't hearing the vocals I wanted and I wasn't hearing the cool music that I loved them to have. When I got into the fold, it was, like, 'Hey guys, show me all the music you've got.
I'm never going to tell you anything's too heavy. I was, like, 'Did you just make this up? This was stored on a hard drive.
I showed this to our old singer and he thought it was too heavy. And so that's a nice acknowledgement, that I was able to contribute something that the listeners wanna hear live as well.
So, I really can't complain. Currently the band is writing new material for a fourth release for Century Media Records. NET story or review, you must be logged in to an active personal account on Facebook.
