I don’t get the hate for him. Dude can sing and write. He brought Heavy Queensryche back but there’s the closed minded morons who won’t give him a chance. Saw them in May do the EP and Warning and they were fantastic
I mean the dude tried. I guess we know why the applause has died. It’s a profound song to see someone else perform to so let’s just say he’s a good karaoke guy and end on a positive note. They are trying to keep the spirit of Queensryche’s pinnacle alive. Ahhhhh 💩 yeah this dude sux… sorry for ruining the positive ending. There’s zero way I can accept this version. There were moments I thought he was going to try to eat someone’s whole head in the front row. Lame.
It seems to me Todd tries to imitate Geoff's voice here like it was recorded in the studio version - his manner, tone, intonations... I hear Tate reminiscence in almost every phrase - deja-vu! No good.. But on the whole a nice try.
Agreed .you can't try to sing like Whitney Houston. although everyone tries. Geoff has his voice and you will kill your soul to try and copy it . Todd did damn close tho
@@antimurphy8212 Totally agree. I love the old Queen's Ryche - saw them live. But I just don't hear anything amiss here. It's kind of like the guys who can't get over Ace Freyley not being in Kiss anymore. Won't matter how good Tommy is, unless he is Ace - he sux.
Geoff forever indeed! Todd does not have the timbre. he can hit the hits notes (that's great) however his voice is no where as interesting as Geoff's in the lower register
All due respect to Jeff Tate every album they put out from promised Land up until his last album was shitty when Todd joined the band they went back to their roots and they got a lot heavier
Queensryche, Motley Crue, Journey and Greatwhite, without Geoff, Vince, Steve and Jack, THEY WILL NEVER BE THE SAME, if you disagree, GO GET YOUR EARS AND TASTE IN MUSIC CHECK BY A DR.
So i was looking into the 2017 bands for the Monster of Rock cruise and saw Queensryche was going to be one of them....knowing that Geoff Tate was no longer in the band (UGH), i wanted to see just what the band sounded like, and this is the first song i came to. Sad, is all i can say. Pretty flat. His voice is good, but it just will never ever be the caliber of Geoff Tate's. That song, that album, was a big part of a lot of people's young lives and it went into your soul when you listened to it. There will never be a singer that can fill his shoes.
This is terrible. And it’s not just “oh I love Geoff. I hate Todd”. Honestly if you’ve heard any of Geoff performing all of Empire, I feel like his voice is really sounding well again but I hate how he sings this song so let’s just admit off the top that it’s a bear. That said, Wilton is so bad here, then Todd comes in just as bad. Then comes, what should be the call and response “long ago there was a dream/had to make a choice or two”. Are they still using the Degarmo track, just playing it really low? I swear that’s what I’m hearing. This is just a mess from top to bottom. Just stop.
They took an amazing song and performed it horribly bad. This isn’t Queensryche, it is a terrible cover band of a once great band. Todd La Torre sounds absolutely terrible. This is embarrassing.
And this ladies and gentlemen, is how you judge the force that IS Geoff Tate. This just doesn't hold a candle to Tate signing. Not even remotely close. The meaning of the song is completely lost. Sorry
I'm not just a Tate fan either, I loved the whole band for Mindcrime and Empire. But this was just weak ,sorry. It sounds out of his wheelhouse, just too high for his register to have good control. The off energy of his voice on this brought the whole band down.
All it did was make me long for the old days with Geoff & Chris. Oddly i just became a fan about 4 months ago. I will give Todd props for holding a tune. If Geoff can compliment him, I can definitely be a lot more open minded. Thanks..
When I listen to Queensryche I want to hear Geoff Tate, without Chris and Geoff it's just a tribute band. This singer doesn't even come close to what Geoff Tate could do. These guys should've gotten a new name, do the QR stuff and make new music, but this isn't Queensryche, not without Chris and Geoff. I liken it to Soundgarden without Chris Cornell or Aerosmith without Steven Tyler. Just ain't quite right.OK feel free to bash me for MY opinion.
@@charliebeaker6153 really? What about VH without David Lee Roth or Black Sabbath Without Ozzy? They were great without them. Or Fates Warning without John Arch? They are great too!
C'mon, who cares without Tate? This guy can't compare. The Tate nuances aren't there. As others have said, the guy has a good voice, but Queensryche is no more. I'll continue to wear out my Operation Mindcrime and Empire tracks.
I love queensryche but not with this guy trying to sound to much like geoff and i understand that cause ppl are there to here the uniqueness of his voice but no one in the world can match geoff when it come to trying to be geoff tate so dont even try queensryche just isnt the same anymore sorry to say
fn love it can't wait for Rockville and biloxi.Favorite band since 95,used to go to bed with rage for order tape and fall asleep listening to it.I had to hide my rock music really religious family, sucked haha but made it.
I saw them last night (2-26-16) in Pompano Beach, and they were awesome! Just no reason to compare the old to the new people! Don't watch if you aren't a fan. LaTorre was very good. I loved to old Rcyhe, but the new is also very good!! Thanks for the post johnnymo526!!
Lot of hate in the comments but as a live music afficionado and a dude who has played this song 10,000,000 times in his angsty teenage bedroom I can confirm this live rendition kicks ass. Cheers... stop hating kids 😃
Wow, pretty amazing. When I saw that they were going to do this song I went back and listened to the original version. A huge challenge for any singer and why Tate is considered one of the best vocalists ever. Props to Todd for pouring his heart out and giving the fans that treat! I can guarantee we will never see Tate sing this song again live. So for that I say Bravo Mr. LaTorre. Bravo.
Geoff Tate doesn't have any problem singing this song, the problem is the songs that require a higher register like Queen of the ryche etc, but I can agree with you on everything else you said which is true.
Malikai Hoon Wiltings cant play anymore.. Hes not even half of Chris is talents.. this band is for losers..Id Deaddi jackosn pregnant? cant they pip is his faked parts better?
if todd ever quits the band do you people think they will take geoff back? even if they would, without degarmo how will they sound? i miss the original lineup but can geoff ever get his vocal range back??
No Tate, No Degarmo, No dice. This IS NOT QR, and they shouldn't be allowed to even use the name, much less take the stage and perform GT's songs. Lame attempt.
Jesus I didnt realise how low in his register that Todd had to move into mixed/head voice. This is an outstanding performance considering this man is nearly singing the entire song in headvoice. Todd is definitely a baritone maybe even a bass where Geoff has always been a natural Tenor. This is very interesting. Love QR, Love Tate \m/
@@iampob Sorry for being interested in vocals I guess? For someone with a deep voice like Todd I think this is a valiant effort. To rely on mixed voice and head voice so much takes some balls and he pulls it off! If you don't think so then whatever 🤷 and I'm not even a Todd fanboy 😂
Sorry, Tate wrote the song and no one else will ever compare... no one has the range Tate had back in the day... HOWEVER, QR is still a great band and should concentrate on new material, rather than trying to reproduce that which cannot be reproduced. No one sings like Tate, and is should be left behind if QR is to continue to be a great band... stick to the new stuff and stop riding the coat tails of a band from the past.
HEY TODD AS LONG AS YOUR IN QUEENSRYCHE YOU WILL ALWAYS LIVE UNDER GEOFF TATES SHADOW. YOU WILL NEVER FILL HIS SHOES. TELL THE BAND TO PLEASE CHANGE THE NAME . SO YOU CAN HAVE YOUR OWN IDENTITY.
This is an embarrassment to what Queensryche once was! There's only one Geoff Tate and Chris Degarmo! This guy needs singing lessons to learn how to control his voice!
Shouldn't even call themselves Queensryche anymore. Their just another 2 bit cover band ripping off the original genius's responsible for their very existence in Geoff Tate and Chris Degarmo. That's it that's all.
Metallion 1,968 yup.. I know them. I know the real story and back story, the whole "icing of tate out" was all started by thinking they could pocket more money with "low pay slaves" replacing Tate. Wiltings is so pathetic its mind altering.. remember Rising West was to be a solo project as Tate did his "outside of QR vibe" solo stuff.. Pussy Wiltings cant write anything so it became nothing more than QR without Tate with a screaming elf.. that was when Mrs Baldinfield hatched the idea to attack Susan Tate to push Tate out as they felt they hard Turd in waiting.. Tate in all his years never thought to hurt or push anyone out
+Buck Norris no. What happened was that Tate couldn't sing anymore and well Queensryche had to play at clubs. Tate just cant sing no more. Seen him in LA at some small club shows. Rip Tate
I used to listen to operation mind crime once every day for a whole year since I was 15 until I was 16..I don¨t think I would have been better with Geoff Tate rather oposite. Todd is a fantastic singer, but this was not his best performance ...I
ringle41 no doubt, its hard to ever hear anyone but Tate sing these lyrics that are personal and his lyrics and its not "party music about girls"..its impossible,,and Turd is just awful but the whole band is failing, you can feel the erosion of talent and crispness, and Wilting will never be Chris, its a band of backups
Jeoff Tate lost his mind when he started to run Queensryche like a dictator ship a band is not a band if only one has say in what happens if Geoff wanted it that way then he should have called it the Geoff Tate band not Queensryche
SUCKS ass. They should play more off of Condition Human - I really like that CD; listen to it nearly every day. It is their best Rising West album to date!
Let's face it , there's only one man that can sing this song the way it's meant to be sung... and we all know his best days are behind him. With that said Todd latorre is the next best thing for this band. \../ RYCHE ON.
His phrasing is forced and there's a bit of a Broadway delivery at times but he does the best impression of Geoff Tate I've ever heard. I don't know what more people could expect. Geoff was one of the best singers in the history of metal but his voice has been gone for many years now and he just barks out the vocals out of breath ad out of tune like any live performance Rob Zombie has given in the past 3 decades. No, he's not as good a singer and doesn't hit the notes and phrasing perfectly to match Tate's vocals. But that's comparing him now to Geoff Tate 30 years ago. Compare them both in present day, it's a different story. It's NEVER been the same without DeGarmo and he's been gone twenty years now, so I don't understand the more recent backlash. Either they do what they can to put out the best performances for the fans while getting out from under Tate's yoke and get slammed for having a new singer or they stay in a dynamic they weren't happy with, possibly ever(there were reasons Degarmo left TWO DECADES AGO, maybe a lot of you are Johnny-come-lately and don't realize) and get slammed because Geoff smoked and drank his voice away and sounds terrible. Not going to please all the fans, might as well please themselves.
Tate spit on Scott and was sacked. Yes Todd isn’t no Geoff but the Albums with Todd blow away any QR album after Enpire. It’s actually Metal again and Todd is actually good to the fans unlike Geoff who threw some guys phone. Todd got the call and took the job and is filling big shoes. I love both versions of QR. DeGarno was also the most important member of QR not Tate.
Sorry, Todd nailed it. Ive been following them for 3 years. Geoff couldn't hit it 5 years ago, plus the band lineup with GT. You can't replace QR musician. Mike absolutely best version on this video
Thanks Todd for keeping this music alive.
I don’t get the hate for him. Dude can sing and write. He brought Heavy Queensryche back but there’s the closed minded morons who won’t give him a chance. Saw them in May do the EP and Warning and they were fantastic
You should change the name to Why Ain't Anybody Listening?
This is what happens when you grow up singing to an album with a hairbrush then get put on stage.
LMAO!!!!!!!😂😂😂😂
Brilliant comment
hah!😅
Will just never be the same
Nope nope and nope! If the hairs on the back of your neck isn't standing up when this song is being sung....it isn't Geoff Tate!
You ain't kidding!!!!!! Nothing and I mean nothing like TATE!!!!!!!
EXACTLY!!!!
exactly!
It’s like watching movies with Don Swayze instead of Patrick
I mean the dude tried. I guess we know why the applause has died. It’s a profound song to see someone else perform to so let’s just say he’s a good karaoke guy and end on a positive note. They are trying to keep the spirit of Queensryche’s pinnacle alive. Ahhhhh 💩 yeah this dude sux… sorry for ruining the positive ending. There’s zero way I can accept this version. There were moments I thought he was going to try to eat someone’s whole head in the front row. Lame.

Agreed .you can't try to sing like Whitney Houston. although everyone tries. Geoff has his voice and you will kill your soul to try and copy it . Todd did damn close tho
I'd like to see you do better. Where's your fucking band? LOSER!
Todd has a good voice but he blew it here. . Geoff forever
How did he blow it?? By the way Geoff isn't very good Now!
@@antimurphy8212 Totally agree. I love the old Queen's Ryche - saw them live. But I just don't hear anything amiss here. It's kind of like the guys who can't get over Ace Freyley not being in Kiss anymore. Won't matter how good Tommy is, unless he is Ace - he sux.

How on earth could 3/5's of the OG QR butcher this song soooooooooo terribly?!!!??!?
Oh yea, Degarmo and Tate are no longer in QR.
#MYFAVORITESONGEVER
even Geoff said recently that theyu could never get this song to work live.
All due respect to Jeff Tate every album they put out from promised Land up until his last album was shitty when Todd joined the band they went back to their roots and they got a lot heavier
@@MrVortex1313 I think the unplugged version worked. 🤷♀️

Nailed it 😂
Okay. I thought I'd give it a listen because l love Tate and the original Ryche. Nothing's changed. Lasted 18 seconds. Absolutely abysmal
Big shoes to fill
This guy cant touch Geoff. Even now that Tate is older.
Todd is wayyyy better than older Tate. Saw both versions. Todd absolutely smokes Tate these days

Did you ever shear and see the band in this formation, live???????Did you hear Geof sing this lately???????
Go hear Tate now and you'll really be sad.
Totally agree, Geoff Tate is unique.
Could have been a bad night. Everyone has 1.

Nice try. Geoff forever. That is his song.
I really love todd but this is a very bad version of that immortal song. Geoff is much better singer...
No.... I'm sorry but you're not Geoff clearly. Not even close!
Is it me or is he singing flat ?
My first time listening to "not Geoff" and I'm scared.
0:56 I'm done.
Yuck.
IMO great to have Anybody Listening back on the set, my favorite track from Empire.
They took an amazing song and performed it horribly bad. This isn’t Queensryche, it is a terrible cover band of a once great band. Todd La Torre sounds absolutely terrible. This is embarrassing.

Please bring tate back Todd just doesn’t do it for me sorry his voice will never go down in rock ‘n’ roll history as one of the best metal singers
Have you heard Tate lately??
@@antimurphy8212 Yes and he was awesome last year rage and empire tour
@@antimurphy8212 yeah actually he's sounding pretty damn good.... way better than this shit performance. lol
There are Tate signature songs that no one should attempt, this is one of them.
Totally agree! Vocals are quite flat : (
Yeah but Tate cant sing them no more
So whos gonna sing them cause Tate cant sing no more.
Lol this guy above me... Have you seen Geoff live recently? Yea he can still sing just fine.

Nope not bashing u at all you have a good point but u forgot its like mettalica with out james Hatfield or ozzy with out ozzy
Actually he wasn't a founder of the band. But Eddie Jackson and Michael Wilton was. Tate was a guest singer and he was just fired.

GT still does this better today ,even if his band is just a cover band. Todd should stick with the new Fatesryche shit.
nice , I was at this show
I miss DeGarmo more than Tate in this performance.
Tate spit on Scott and was sacked. Yes Todd isn’t no Geoff but the Albums with Todd blow away any QR album after Enpire. It’s actually Metal again and Todd is actually good to the fans unlike Geoff who threw some guys phone. Todd got the call and took the job and is filling big shoes. I love both versions of QR. DeGarno was also the most important member of QR not Tate.
I've seen hack cover bands sound better. This is not QR. Not even close.
Todd is amazing but they should lower the tonality otherwise he'll fuck up
Hes trying waaaaay to hard to be Geoff
Go on and try me....
Nope
Oh lord, this is terrible! I followed the band up until Chris left. He sounds terrible!
I'm not listening because it's horrible
Joke not Tate stop singing enough wrap it up dont come to New Orleans
With his beard Todd looks a little like Charles Manson. :-)
Anyway, great cover of a great song.
Great cover??? This IS Queensryche Dumb ass!!
+keith carman No Degarmo and no Tate? Get a life.
+Robin B. Czar
too much, this is a second rate karaoke band!!!!!!
Daniel Chico great comment hahaha haha. Composer and lyricist are not in the band anymore. Duh!
Alright cover...... I wish Queensryche was still together.
What a disaster. Period.
Sorry, Todd nailed it. Ive been following them for 3 years. Geoff couldn't hit it 5 years ago, plus the band lineup with GT. You can't replace QR musician.
Mike absolutely best version on this video
Do it for 25 years. This guy will be junk too. Already is...
Lol cute.
He nailed it? Tone deaf much?
This sucks, and I am going to see them in February. Going more for John 5!!!!
Without Tate the answer is no.
Hi it's me narrowing a phone my name is karma dee

Excellent stuff. My fav track from Empire. About time they played it live.
