      Don't forget that he had one of the best Guitarists / Backing vocalists and Drummer of all time too backing him up. I think people forget the level of musicianship that was required back then to actually make waves. They couldn't hide behind DAWs, triggers & auto-tune

      Even though they went on was th Tate l, after he left, , the band for all intents and purposes was never the same. Also, Chris Degarmo is underrated, much like his Prog Metal contemporary Jim Matheos from Fates Warning. Both had another guitarist with them who was very good, but it was clear in each band who the star was. Another name that fits here (Although he started playing straight metal and morphed into Prog metal) was Criss Oliva of Savatage. All are criminally underrated.

      @@craighenry2351 I'm not sure exactly what you mean with that first sentence. If you're saying the band was never the same after Chris De Garmo left, you have a point. If you're saying the band was never the same after Geoff Tate was fired, you're VERY wrong. The firing of Tate was what freed the band from the constraints he had imposed on them ever after De Garmo's departure, forcing them to play weird and shitty music on album after album. Tate's replacement Todd La Torre wanted nothing more than to do actual QUEENSRYCHE music, and his arrival spelt an immediate and enormous re-improvement. The band's most recent album with him (so far - the next one is just finished and will be released shortly), "The verdict", even qualifies as one of the better albums of the band's entire history. That one could be a direct sequel to "The warning" - I kid you not.

    • @DM-il1hf
      @DM-il1hf Рік тому

      Hey Erik. You’re living in a false reality.
      Ask anyone in the PNW who followed (and many knew) the band well over the years.
      Tate lost focus of his health and his range tanked.
      Then he got a bad attitude and starting treating people terribly, including his own bandmates.
      Then his artistic vision went sideways. A Queensryche burlesque show? Really?
      That was his idea & he forced it on the band.
      And when fans didn’t come out to the shows Geoff got even more bitter.
      And to say that Todd didn’t want anything to do with classic QR songs is absurd. He loves those songs & sings them in the most respectful way possible.
      Had Geoff stayed in the band they would have completely disintegrated.
      Todd came along and kept them going and got their passion back.
      And when Geoff saw this happen he started focusing on his health again and in the last 2-3 years he’s getting his pipes back.
      Maybe a reunion will happen someday but if it doesn’t, it was 100% because of Geoff.

      What an opening salvo from a great band. I have to admit, I got, The Warning first, but when I heard Take Hold of the Flame, I knew I had to hear more of this band. So I got the EP and heard Queen of the Reich. It hammers you from the start. But the EP had the perfect bookend with, The Lady Wore Black. What a power ballad. Another song from that time frame which was exceptional is The Prophecy. I first heard it on the soundtrack from, The Decline of Western Civilization, The Metal Years.

      Look, Dio is a legend, but, and I will say this again, nobody else could hit those notes that clearly. Dio, I reiterate, is a legend, but he did have a slight raspy edge to his voice(And it fit with the music his bands played). That is what was unique, at this time, about Tate. He went ridiculously high and stayed crystal clear. He was like a more operatic version of Don Dokken, one of the smoothest hard rock/ metal singers ever. Let me repeat. Dio is phenomenal, he just isn’t Tate in his prime. Nobody is.

  • @RockFan89
    @RockFan89 4 роки тому +1

    I dont think he's done any broadway but he was trained in singing Opera.
    From an interview Geoff did in 2011,
    “I’m pretty fortunate - I have a very strong voice, and I started out very early in my teens taking voice training.
    I started using opera techniques, and it really helped me maintain my voice throughout a performance.
    When I first started singing I could only sing for half an hour before I’d start losing my voice, so with the training it gave me a lot of stamina. I can sing for three hours now and not have a problem.
    I think that’s really the key: doing the breath exercises and staying healthy. That’s a big part of it. Exercising every day, getting lots of sleep, which is paramount when you are on the road.
    My body needs eight hours every day, and if I can get the proper rest I can do shows continuously with no break. In fact, I don’t like to take a break. I like to just power through a tour and not have a day off. But that’s just me"

      @reedallen4613 9 місяців тому

      There's absolutely no doubt that Geoff Tate could have done Broadway in his prime.
      Geoff Tate was Classically trained, and his vocal range in his prime was amazing.
      Geoff Tate is actually a Baritone (about mid-range if I remember correctly), but due to years of study and training and practice he extended his range up to that of a Tenor.
      He spent most of the song in the 5th Octave, and while I have no musical talent whatsoever, even I know that the 5th Octave is NO JOKE and is difficult for ANY singer.
      And Geoff Tate hits the highest notes, the E5, while still being in normal 'Head Voice' and NOT in Falsetto.
      Now days he's a shell of what he used to be, but in his prime Geoff Tate was absolutely UNTOUCHABLE.
      Just my own personal opinion anyway.

    Queensryche in the 80's were extremely PHENOMENAL!!! Their first self titled EP and albums The Warning, Rage For Order , and especially their MASTERPIECE Operation Mindcrime are amazing albums. Geoff Tate is definitely one of the greatest lead singers ever in all music genres. I remember back in 1988 when I first listened to Queensryche and how impressed I was with the whole band and especially Geoff Tate's lead singing big time. The first song I ever listened to was Eyes Of A Stranger on MTV'S Headbanger's Ball back in 1988 and I was barely 10 years old. Ever since I have been a huge massive fan of theirs, and I bought the majority of their albums and I have seen them in concert a few times. Their studio album Operation Mindcrime is a MASTERPIECE!!!! It is easily one of the greatest albums ever in my opinion. Even though their studio album Empire was their peak in popularity, their studio album Operation Mindcrime was the album that put them on the map and noticed by all fans and musicians. One concert I saw Queensryche do back in the late 80's, they played every song off the Operation Mindcrime album, accept Suite Sister Mary and The Mission. That is one of the greatest shows I have ever been to, and the setlist was amazing. Great video reaction guys!!! I enjoyed it big time. The look on both of your faces when Geoff Tate did high notes ,was the exact same look I had on my face when I first heard Geoff Tate do a high note over thirty years ago. Take care and I look forward to more of your video reactions.

      Someone finally mentions The Lady Wore Black besides me. I’ve seen 7 different reactions to Take Hold of the Flame and read through the comments. Many (Good) Queensryche songs are mentioned, but nobody mentions The Lady Wore Black. Maybe it’s because they all heard newer versions of the song that are totally inferior to the original from the EP.

      Finally, someone mentions I Don’t Believe in Love in the same breath as Eyes of a Stranger. The latter had a much larger commercial release. In fact it was a few years before I heard, I Don’t Believe in Love. But when I did, as good as Eyes of a Stranger is, I realized there were s no comparison. Musically, I Don’t Believe in Love, love is just better but lyrically, that is the difference. It puts into perspective all of those relationships I had that didn’t work out and how I felt when they were falling apart. Is it all worth it, well yes (Pain by Three Days Grace explains that well) but not at the time.

    Queensryche is one of the first metal bands I saw live. Sadly, this lineup is not around anymore. Geoff Tate is a brilliant singer. He, Bruce Dickinson (Iron Maiden) and Rob Halford (Judas Priest, Halford), actually did one song together at a live show, I think in London. If you want to check it out, the video is called "The One You Love to Hate Live Rob Halford, Bruce Dickinson, Geoff Tate". There is a studio version of that song with Rob and Bruce. Pretty heavy.

    Your face when Geof's voice kicked it, took me back to 85 when me and my friends first heard his voice. Crazy thing is they are still going on, yet what you loved about them, singer, drummer and guitar player are all gone, (not dead, just gone, guitar player is a commercial pilot just as the singer in Iron Maiden is). Band has some decent replacements and the new singer/drummer does both well.

I just hope more kids listen to this song (And do it with an open mind). Then more people will understand what I did, back in 1984. There is no other singer that can reproduce that. Not even Tate can anymore.
