Agreed. I was better with the Geoff replacement than Scott. Todd has done pretty well, but the dude trying to fill Scott's shoes, just no... Please no?
@@soundbreak7 Yeah well if you read my comment I dont give a F. People die and people move on but the band name is the same and the songs are the same. Get over it.
I jammed to QUEENSRYCHE back in the day when Geoff Chris and Scott were still in the band.I loved them and they put on one hell of a show. I didn't know what to expect, but I have to say these guys rock!
Agreed! I’ve been a fan since the EP was released in the early 80’s, I absolutely worshiped this band and The Warning is my favorite album of all time. I’m glad to see Michael and Eddie still at and this band still sounding this good. I really like a lot of the new stuff as much as the old, still has that classic Queensryche sound
I remember dropping the needle on this EP when it came out, great stuff, caught their first show outside of Seattle, at the country club in Reseda, Geoff was huge and the castle drum set was badass. This is a fair version, I guess.
Great performace and voice by Todd. Geoff was great as well, but he's gone, so this is the new Queensryche. Take it or leave it. Also the guitars sound great. Don't understand the haters.
Except its GEOFF's song, written by DeGarmo and sung by Geoff.........Todd(ler) was having his mama wipe his bung while GEOFF was writing this song !!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Todd was 6 years old when GEOFF was recording this song......nuff said.
Saw them when they opened for KISS at the Spectrum in Philadelphia around that time --- having heard them with ears that could hear a mouse fart out of tune --- they were untouchable ---- especially Geoff!
Before Nirvana... This was Seattle's Best! Met them backstage after their set opening for Metallica in 88. This EP was just released, I knew they were going to do big things. Plus Q Prime management behind them didn't hurt...lol
Saw them with Halford (opening band) and Iron Maiden (headliner band) in 2000 here in Phoenix! It was an awesome concert and the first time I saw all those bands!
That sounded good. But when Geoff hit those high notes, he didn't have to strain and bend over to hit. He stood straight up and sang it. Sometimes he moved with the music when he hit thise notes but it came naturally to him.
Tate said in an interview one time he knew he had the pipes (vocal chords, range, etc) to sing. He took vocal instructions from Maestro David Kyle in West Seattle. Maestro Kyle was famous in his own right having voice coached many, many entertainers. My ex wife took lessons from him for a while and was shocked at the number of pictures of famous celebrities that plastered a wall in Kyle's house....Geoff Tate's voice was really something in his prime years. It was so low when he spoke in interviews it almost rumbled. (I've never been a huge fan, so you know). In 2000 we saw Halford and Queensryche open for Iron Maiden in the Tacoma dome. I can confirm what others have said. He hit the high notes, oh yes he did. Shattering highs! My dad got back with his high school girlfriend around the same time. She said Queensryche played at her house when she had a big party. "My 15 minutes of fame" she said it was. I met Scott's brother one time. Really surprised me, it's a small world as they say. "Battle of the bands" was a thing years ago. Check out the ryche's competition from those days, Fifth Angel. Self titled debut; Time Will Tell; The Third Secret; ?? can't remember the last one. James Byrd was replaced by Kendall Bechtel (lead guitar), they recorded their second album, Time Will Tell, then Ted Pilot the lead singer left to pursue a career in dentistry following in his father's footsteps if you will. That was way back in 1989. Then they released The Third Secret with Kendall Bechtel on lead vocals and lead guitar. The man is a beast. Along the lines of John Sykes/Blue Murder (Tony Franklin on bass, a super cool guy, and Carmine Appice on drums), as well, Sykes was in Whitesnake, Steve Vai replaced him. Caught their show in '88 here in Seattle. blah blah blah.....yeah these guys didn't suck and filling Tate's shoes??? I can say with total confidence after seeing Queensryche live there is very few human beings alive anywhere in the world capable of singing the range Tate mastered. His low register was awesome as well he just rarely went there. But I still prefer Ted Pilot the original singer in Fifth Angel. His performances on the first two albums are kick ass plain and simple. Years ago a guy in Italy messaged me saying he wasn't having any success in trying to obtain the two Fifth Angel cd's. So I burned him a copy of each one and shipped it to him in Italy. I was doing fine financially at the time and it was inexpensive anyway so I just covered the cost. It was well worth it. Better than quarreling over things that should be giving us joy, a reason to live and happiness that isn't illegal, immoral or insane. Right?! Right! UP THE IRONS!!!
I have been a fan since '84. I finally got to see them 2013 in Montana. Todd does an excellent job, he has some huge shoes to fill. They were awesome. Ultra tight. I marked it off the bucket list. Thanks guys for kicking ass all these years. And many more
Before Nirvana... This was Seattle's Best! Met them backstage after their set opening for Metallica in 88. This EP was just released, I knew they were going to do big things. Plus Q Prime management behind them didn't hurt...lol
Err, the EP came out in 1983, not 88. 88 was the year they released the greatest Progressive Metal album of all time, Operation Mindcrime. 1988 was an incredible year.
Wasn’t sure what to expect when I clicked on this…gotta say wasn’t disappointed. I like Tate a lot but give this guy some credit, dude can belt it out. Think Tate may even believe “well done”.
The crowd was dead like a cemetery get into it for God sakes! Put ur phone's down and head bang! God I miss old school queensryche Michael Chris Geoff Scott Eddie Long live old school ryche!
One of the best concerts I've seen is the Promised Land tour, original members. Went with the band I was in at the time. We were close enough where I could throw a demo tape on stage. Chris picked it up. Would be cool if he listened to it. I miss the original lineup. oh well.
Whatever their differences are, these guys are great too! Todd is just doing his job, just like The Ripper did his job when he saved Judas Priest back when Halford left for a while. Others could be mentioned, but everyone has a right to make a living for sure 🤘
The older I get the more I appreciate DeGarmo. I mean I always thought he was bad ass but for example Jet City Woman and Is There Anybody Listening ? Are perfect leads.
Saw them a few years ago in Tampa at the ice palace, they opened up for the Scorpions, I was skeptical, but they kicked much ass!, but with that being said ?, would I pay to see them on a boat?, definitely not!
I seen these guys at hard rock hell in wales with Jeff Tate on vocals and it was an absolute shambles I was nearly sleeping they were definitely just going through the motions, needed a change and I think it was for the best in the long run Still a great metal band!!!
Unfortunately, bands break up, or they continue with different members. Geoff Tate, in his day, was an absolute trendsetter and pioneer…. This band took what was laid out before them in the form of Iron Maiden and Judas Priest and trailblazed. Fast forward…. Geoff, while still touring, has to tune down to sing the songs as many other singers do from this era. Todd does an absolute amazing job singing these songs in the natural key they were written in which is no easy task. While he may not be exactly what Geoff was in his prime, he’s doing a helluva job at recreating the songs and delivering a performance that is very worthy. As fans of the genre and the band, we should be appreciative that the existing members that are Michael Wilton and Eddie Jackson are able to continue to a) make a living and b) deliver this music to us.
My how have the mighty have fallen. They went from sold out concert halls to pool stages on cruise ships. Luckily for me, I saw them back when Geoff was there
Agreed. I saw them in their prime as well. As far as playing on pool decks go, it beats working a straight job, imo. I saw Cheap Trick play coliseums, large theaters, a rib burn off, a gazebo in a large bar, and back to a large theater. I always thought it was cool that they took any gig and played them all with the same gusto.
I saw this great band opening for Kiss in 1985!!! 😂😂😂😂 lol it was such an awesome show at the great Western Frum of Los Angeles...the good old days indeed!
Some other old time big bands that are still rocking play this cruise! Saxon has been on it. I could care less if they aren't playing stadiums any more. They are my kind of music and I'd be happy to go on a cruise full of the bands I used to(and still do) listen to. You would be that more up close and personal!
This is very good! I'm not sure how many original members are in the band, but that's life. Musicians come and go, but good songs are the most important thing (and respectful level of performance). I saw also Geoff Tate live show earlier and he is also doing great work.
Between cruise gigs like this, and playing theaters with less than a thousand seats, I think it's time for both camps to admit that they need each other. And as soon as they figure that out, they need to get DeGarmo involved too. They dont just need players who can play the songs. They need the players who created the songs. Until then, I'll just keep listening to the records that made me love this band in the first place. Hoping they'll all come to their senses....even if it's just for 90 minutes a night. Roger and Pete do it. Axl and Slash do it. Ian and Billy do it. David Lee and Eddie did it. Queensryche can do it too.
I don`t want to sound negative to these guys, but the kind of voice pitch Geoff Tate had in his powerful years simply can`t be replaced by anyone. Sorry to say.
Geoff can't hit the highs like before. Geoff still has that monotone mid range that is not Todd's strong suit. They both bring great things to the table.@@mikegallagher2732
Lots of hate for these guys. But, shit happens, members leave, and members push on. Todd is absolutely a fantastic singer, guitarist, and drummer. I saw them with Priest a couple of years ago and they were superb!!! A fan back then and a fan now!!!
@@ryanday633he’s right though,ever since the “Breakup”,they sound completely different,I’m not taking anything away from LaTorre,the dude is a musician at the highest level,but if you haven’t noticed,evevsince the beginning,he strains himself to Geoff’s range,Geoff had a four octave range,nobody could touch that,Todd tries and its good,but not natural,almost falsetto,he’s done a great job but this just isn’t QR,sorry,just my opinion
100% agree with you. I've gone and seen Geoff Tates version enjoyed it but nothing like back in the day when I seen them tour the mind crime and empire tour's.
They don't make awesome musicians like this anymore. I'm lucky I got to see them at least once... back when they toured "Empire", and it was my first time ever seeing Type 'O' Negative live. It was an AWESOME concert! I like BOTH Geoff Tate and Todd La Torre, and NOT just because I share the first name :>
Been a QR fan since 83 and saw them at the height of it in 88, 91 and 95 then 2005 and just saw Tate solo for the first time and met with him. I am going to see QR in May with Armored Saint, that said I hesitated for years as QR isn't without Geoff but reconciled that this version is really just an Iron Maiden style band now that happens to do QR songs
So Scott's not in the band either, just Wilton & Jackson....this is far from Queensryche. He can sing high, but many people can. Tate had a distinctive "timber" to his voice & took lessons from that teacher in Seattle (forget his name). Tate was on a whole nuther stratosphere.
Saw Queensryche when they opened for Dio, Holy Diver tour, they had only a 4 song EP out at the time. Saw them next touring the new Operation Mindcrime album. This ain't them !!
I agree. The ‘Rÿche isn’t what it used to be. No Geoff, no Scott and obviously no Chris. Just look at Michael and Eddie, they look absolutely bored. Maybe it’s time to call it a day.
This is nothing more than a Queensrÿche cover band. Not Geoff Tate! You can't replace these types of singers. Not everyone can do that and still be successful. AC/DC may be one exception but for most bands, replacing the singer will be the death of them. You can see that with many that have tried and failed...Van Halen, Motely Crue, Journey etc.
Of we miss the OG but they are pretty good. I’m glad at least Mike Stone is back on guitar. I saw the Tate version and it was great. I would love to see a reunion.
Everyone deserves to make a living. This is one members version. Scott, Geoff and Chris just can’t be replaced. Todd does an epic job.
Agreed. I was better with the Geoff replacement than Scott. Todd has done pretty well, but the dude trying to fill Scott's shoes, just no... Please no?

I dont care who argues over who's left in the band and all the drama, that fucking rocked...
sounds great , but its a cover band now
@@soundbreak7 Yeah well if you read my comment I dont give a F. People die and people move on but the band name is the same and the songs are the same. Get over it.
@@Superjet113 LOL its a great sounding cover band
@@soundbreak7 Yeah, and you're a great sounding broken record..lmao. I'm 60, I know Queensryche. FFS, You stupid or just trolling?..lol 🤣

I lived in Kirkland Washington and Redmond Washington
I use to see Eddie in His GTO all around town.
If it was him?

I’m glad to see Michael and Eddie still at and this band still sounding this good. I really like a lot of the new stuff as much as the old, still has that classic Queensryche sound
It's a licensed cover band.
I had the single when it debuted. Loved it as a teener metal head.
That’s so good ❤ they really sound amazing and Todd nailed it
dumb
While I'm a Geof Tate fan this guy knocked it outta the park.
Absolutely - he killed it however no one is as good as prime Tate!!
@@montyrayza7220 AMEN..but what we got..so far is great...not unlike when IRON MAIDEN tried to replace Bruce or Judas priest tried to replace Rob
He rushes thru the song so fast its over and I'm still wondering if that is the way Geoff would do it to at his age
It’s Geoff 🙄
Kudos to that sound man.
Had his hand on that delay fader perfectly.
So is it just Michael Wilton now?
@@stm113 Michael Wilton and Eddie Jackson are the two original members
Still love them am seeing them this Saturday and pretty much watch Michael the whole time. Great guitar
I wasn’t expecting that🤠sounds flucking awesome! Who nails double leads these days. 🎸🎸🎸🎸🎸
I would go see this.
Loved the ep….man, those 80’s tho🤣
Rockin out and partying down,
😳
Shit….i still do that🤘🤘🤘😁

Some of us are purists. This isn't even close.
@@GEN-X- oh well it’s just a name of a band doesn’t mean anything
@@darknes7800lol you feel better now? 🤡
I saw Queensryche when they opened for Metallica, in 1989 and in 1991.
Saw them when they opened for KISS at the Spectrum in Philadelphia around that time --- having heard them with ears that could hear a mouse fart out of tune --- they were untouchable ---- especially Geoff!
@@Liberty-Grunt I saw them open for kiss also. But I went for Ryche. Unmasked. Detroit.
Before Nirvana...
This was Seattle's Best!

My dad saw them in '86 with Maiden and Malmsteen
Saw them with Halford (opening band) and Iron Maiden (headliner band) in 2000 here in Phoenix! It was an awesome concert and the first time I saw all those bands!
I am going to see these guys in April. It isn't the original, but they put on a good show. And Armored Saint also rocks and sounds great.
Taking nothing away from them but Tate is in a league of his own.
Yes he is, in the league of assholes.
Yea in Little League he can't keep up with this version of Ryche ,he is soft now n can't even sing his songs well anymore,so get over yourself
Increíble, Queensryche ha rejuvenecido con Todd la Torre, su último disco es genial!
Aint no Queensryche without Geoff... but that was good.
Yes it is

Scott Rockenfield is so sorely missed and irreplaceable !!!!!
Damn !This guy Has a great voice
Can sing but not even close to Geoff Tate though 💯🤷♂️

Great QR cover 👍 and Tribute .. But let’s leave it there 🤘
Great video and sound, I think the daylight adds a nice clarity. Sadly, the light show is sacrificed, but still a great post, thanks!

Everyone has a right to like and dislike whatever they want. This is a poor cover band at this point.
DeGarmo needs to play that solo !
The older I get the more I appreciate DeGarmo. I mean I always thought he was bad ass but for example Jet City Woman and Is There Anybody Listening ? Are perfect leads.
Can't get enough of this live group performing both killer classics and awesome new material. Stay safe guys!
Saw them a few years ago in Tampa at the ice palace, they opened up for the Scorpions, I was skeptical, but they kicked much ass!, but with that being said ?, would I pay to see them on a boat?, definitely not!
They are still one hell of an awesome, legendary, metal band.

Agreed. I saw them in their prime as well. As far as playing on pool decks go, it beats working a straight job, imo.
I saw Cheap Trick play coliseums, large theaters, a rib burn off, a gazebo in a large bar, and back to a large theater. I always thought it was cool that they took any gig and played them all with the same gusto.
I saw this great band opening for Kiss in 1985!!! 😂😂😂😂 lol it was such an awesome show at the great Western Frum of Los Angeles...the good old days indeed!
Lol, thats the dumbest thing i ever heard lets hear your band
Those cruises are really expensive.
Some other old time big bands that are still rocking play this cruise! Saxon has been on it. I could care less if they aren't playing stadiums any more. They are my kind of music and I'd be happy to go on a cruise full of the bands I used to(and still do) listen to. You would be that more up close and personal!

Amazing quality from an Ihpone great stabilization and color.
Between cruise gigs like this, and playing theaters with less than a thousand seats, I think it's time for both camps to admit that they need each other. And as soon as they figure that out, they need to get DeGarmo involved too. They dont just need players who can play the songs. They need the players who created the songs.
Until then, I'll just keep listening to the records that made me love this band in the first place. Hoping they'll all come to their senses....even if it's just for 90 minutes a night.
Roger and Pete do it.
Axl and Slash do it.
Ian and Billy do it.
David Lee and Eddie did it.
Queensryche can do it too.
Saw them on the warning tour opening for KISS in 85, one of the best f***ing shows ever🤘🤘🤘
Seen them on mindcrime! Absolutely one of the best shows of not the best show I’ve ever seen..
Seen them on that tour in Dayton Ohio, blew Kiss off the stage.
No shit! Me too at the Boston Garden!! Good times!
That sounds amazing 🤘😁
Geoff's singing was effortless and powerful back then...
They still rock!
Yeah, right, 🤣🤣🤣😁🤣😁😁
I'm glad we agree. Ryche & Roll!@@mikelambert8324
I don`t want to sound negative to these guys, but the kind of voice pitch Geoff Tate had in his powerful years simply can`t be replaced by anyone. Sorry to say.
Respectfully, this is not Queensryche. They sound ok but not like the genuine article back in the day. No one sounds like Geoff Tate.
TRUE, But GEOFF no longer sounds like the GEOFF we ALLLLL know and love... ITS SAD...
Geoff can't hit the highs like before. Geoff still has that monotone mid range that is not Todd's strong suit. They both bring great things to the table.@@mikegallagher2732
You guys r all correct but ...this band make sounds good ....but I miss geoff
Agreed
Actually think he’s doing a really good job. That’s a freaking hard song to do. I’m impressed. I don’t care what anyone says.
Still have my Easy Street album in the original protective wrapper. 8)
Never gets old!
Very nice powerful druming!
Lots of hate for these guys. But, shit happens, members leave, and members push on. Todd is absolutely a fantastic singer, guitarist, and drummer. I saw them with Priest a couple of years ago and they were superb!!! A fan back then and a fan now!!!
Fantásticos Queensryche, siempre me han encantado desde chaval.
That live sound is killer
As a fan since 87, it's a bit confusing not recognizing 2 of the members of Queensryche.
This was Queensryche's best song
Todd does fantastic job.Band is super tight. You're Never gonna replace Tate...just enjoy the music for what it is. Time marches on.😊
Seen them a ton of times. Was a fan club member back in the day. Not anymore. No Geoff. No Scott. No Chris. No Ryche.
That's a pretty narrow minded view
@@ryanday633 3 of the 5 original members are gone. Two of whom were the main song writer. Not narrow minded at all.
That’s not true mate!!This doesn’t take away from the first E.P. being a trailblazer!!!!!!

100% agree with you. I've gone and seen Geoff Tates version enjoyed it but nothing like back in the day when I seen them tour the mind crime and empire tour's.
Awesome! Can't wait to see them again with Armored Saint!
Thanks for keeping your band going and especially hitting those high notes!!!!!!! I was there from the beginning!!!!
“If you’re an old school rycher” is there any other kind?
Todds be doin Amicable for the last 15yrs
They don't make awesome musicians like this anymore. I'm lucky I got to see them at least once... back when they toured "Empire", and it was my first time ever seeing Type 'O' Negative live. It was an AWESOME concert! I like BOTH Geoff Tate and Todd La Torre, and NOT just because I share the first name :>
Great job 🤘
He's no Geoff..but he's Killin it
Pretty damn good tribute band!
New drummers' got some edge, well picked.
Thats not my father's Queensryche.
That Ryche is dead and gone.
Been a QR fan since 83 and saw them at the height of it in 88, 91 and 95 then 2005 and just saw Tate solo for the first time and met with him. I am going to see QR in May with Armored Saint, that said I hesitated for years as QR isn't without Geoff but reconciled that this version is really just an Iron Maiden style band now that happens to do QR songs
If only Vince Neil could maintain 50% of his voice like this. 😢
He’s not Geoff Tate, but he did way better than I was expecting. Not bad.
Drummer is Amazing
Yeah Casey Grillo is a sick drummer
Guy does have a heck of a voice
So good to see Stoney back with the boys.
I met him once in Spokane Washington and he was a jerk!!
It happens.@@mikelambert8324
What's the English for "that shite sucks"?
Wasn’t it CHRIS the original lead guitarist for this band back in the day?
Ok , that guy's amazing ...
I’m a purist but I have to say that was pretty good
damn.. this old dude can belt the F out of this.....
It's not Queensryche without Geoff Tate.
So Scott's not in the band either, just Wilton & Jackson....this is far from Queensryche. He can sing high, but many people can. Tate had a distinctive "timber" to his voice & took lessons from that teacher in Seattle (forget his name). Tate was on a whole nuther stratosphere.
Saw Queensryche when they opened for Dio, Holy Diver tour, they had only a 4 song EP out at the time.
Saw them next touring the new Operation Mindcrime album.
This ain't them !!
💪🍺
All the Greats have all evolved..no band stays the same forever..Even the Stones, Floyd, Yes, Metallica..do your research Youngers..😉
DeGarmo Tate desperately needed Rock2
O my God!! Do I look THAT OLD 😮
surprisingly good performance
Ok...no one is ever gonna truly replace Tate....but....damn Todd nailed the hell out of this.
I agree. The ‘Rÿche isn’t what it used to be. No Geoff, no Scott and obviously no Chris. Just look at Michael and Eddie, they look absolutely bored. Maybe it’s time to call it a day.
I am convinced once again that the way for me to sing this song or anything Todd does is one octave lower [-(
The tater tot must be pissed he is no longer the vest in the business at hitting those high notes but Todd does it just fine.
You ok sweetie?
But he can and does..just saw him in Feb and he hit every one of them. This is now and Iron Maiden clone act
Geoff can still sing well
@@davidhall7648lol
Queensryche still rocking w/o Geoff.
I feel sorry for Eddie to do all the solos, still sounding good though 👍
This is nothing more than a Queensrÿche cover band. Not Geoff Tate! You can't replace these types of singers. Not everyone can do that and still be successful. AC/DC may be one exception but for most bands, replacing the singer will be the death of them. You can see that with many that have tried and failed...Van Halen, Motely Crue, Journey etc.
I agree. Nobody can ever sing like Geoff, I will forever be faithful to him.
Why are they not wearing board shorts and hawaiian shirts???
Of we miss the OG but they are pretty good. I’m glad at least Mike Stone is back on guitar. I saw the Tate version and it was great. I would love to see a reunion.
Did Todd quit smoking or something? His voice sounds noticeably stronger of late.
If Judas Priest and Iron Maiden had a baby, they would be it
I've seen them 5x but just the original line up, well did see the year after chris left, Todd is good but , im glad I got to see the real ryke..
