We met Todd at a Kamelot concert in St. Pete, Florida years ago, he had just started singing with QR, I knew him from his Crimson Glory days only. He literally stood outside with us for an hour and a half talking rock, people didn't recognise him much back there so it was easier. At some point he asked us "Do you want to go say hi to the Kamelot guys before the show? I know them well" We were like "Hell yeah" went in, he got me a Casey Grillo signed drumstick and spent sometime with the guys. Then is showtime and Todd stayed with us through the whole show, gave us a hug after and left. What a class dude.
@jaredfoglesuperstar Some people have never heard Queensryche before. They don't know who is who unless they do research. Anyways, thanks for taking your time to.comment on my comment!!
He's an absolutely terrible human being. I've seen him verbally assault fans for even suggesting that they miss the original lineup and prefer Tates' voice. This has made him the only person I've blocked on FB.
@KEN5423 have you found any newer bands to enjoy these days? I take it you were(are) a Pantera fan. I clung to Pantera in the 90s because Lars and Bob Rock were ruining Metallica. Played a lot of drums, made a little music with my guitar-playing brother but could never find a decent vocalist. Of today's music I have thought that Volbeat has stood apart from the cookie-cutter herd as far as vocals go. Difficult to find a hardcore metal band standing on its own, either trying to play like a machine gun, snort like a pig, play a goth church organ sounding like something satanic doing a soundtrack for Star Wars, or do the multi-vocal scream/emo shit. Avenged 7X when the Rev was alive sounded good......
How can anyone equal Geoff Tate? At least Todd is really the only singer that can at least hang a bit. Glad i saw them do 'Mindcrime' start to finish with the originals back in the day!
I’m totally fine with Todd singing in Queenstyche. He does a hell of a job and he’s always cool in his interviews. I miss degarmo though but Eddie and Scott are still there. The backbone of the band and the unsung heroes. Rock on.
Since watching this video a few days ago I just can't help myself for coming back to watch it again! This is my 1st time seeing and hearing of this band. The song is also an earworm now, I just can't stop thinking of it.
I haven't listened to any Queensryche material since Geoff left. That being said, it's fun to hear the song live, even if not Geoff... But of course I will always favor Geoff's voice. It's so distinct and iconic for Queensryche. But this guy did a great job, regardless!
Tate is/was weak. He happened upon a great project to ride to the top and then rested on his laurels once he got there. He stopped progressing. Heck, he stopped *maintaining*...
@@TheWitchOvAgnesi... Tate is / was weak??? What a stupid ass comment.. You need to "listen" to Geoff Tate.. EMPIRE album back, before saying shit like that... Geoff Tate is one of the best singers ever... Ever!
@@rhoadsmatheson2246 @SpikeFlea come on, i get the hate on Geoff Tate because of his ego and antipathetic behaviors but saying that he stopped progressing is not true. On the contrary, he always pushed the envelope for Queensryche, doing different stuff, going against the tide, putting different instruments and styles to the Queensryche music. He played saxophone on some tours etc. So kudos for that.
Really, I saw these guys with original lineup during Promise Land tour many years ago mid 1990s They played this entire album and Operation MindCrime. Reason for long set time. These guys gave Type O Negative support band played before them the Boot cut their set short. Small, band like Type O they did sound great Queensryche didnt want to be shown up. Pete Steeles, handed front row fan a few grand money from that show. There's articles short video Pete Steele walking of stage with brieface.
Love Queensryche! I first got their EP with 'Queen Of The Reich' while a student at Seton Hall back in the early 80's, after hearing the song on WSOU, Seton Hall's FM college station. Then 'The Warning' came out and all hell broke loose... my god... it was nothing like we'd heard before! That same year, I was lucky to catch Queensryche playing the famous Brooklyn, NY rock club called L'Amour, and they were beyond incredible! Personnel changes aside, of course the old Queensryche with Tate and DeGarmo was much better than the current incarnation, but I have to give LaTorre credit, as he is a damn good vocalist in his own reich (get it... ha ha)! Long live QR!
I am from Bloomfield few towns over from Seton Hall and listened to SOU back then and still do today. Queensryche was my first concert back in 88 opening for Def Leppard in Brendan Byrne arena back them. Still remember it to this day. ❤👏🙌🤘🏻
@@colettelutter7954 Nice! Great to hear from others that 'were there', during this great era of rock! I was at that show with QR and Leppard as well. We had a ton of fun then! I can remember my attitude about college was study hard and party hard too! My roomate was going out with this girl from the dorm next door at SHU, and she had a roommate who just transferred there. Her roommate wanted to 'meet a guy', so she introduced me to her.... long story short, we both dated these great ladies for about 2 years while we were students at SHU. We simply 'switched rooms', so our girlfriends lived with us, unbeknownst to the authorities there! You see, the dorms were not unisex.... there were separate men's dorms and female dorms, so we broke the rules LOL! And we had the best 'metal parties' on weekends as well with 'keggers' in the shower stalls! Seton Hall was transformed into 'pleasure palace' for us, with great music to boot! Man, I would give anything to return to those days!
I'd say the reason is two-fold. First, two of arguably the most integral members are no longer with the band. Second, Todd comes off as an impersonator, rather than original. Not everyone is into that. Boston and Journey did the same thing and lost a lot of people because of it. Todd is a great singer, just wish he found his own way rather than being in a cover band.
They just mad because Todd sounds better than Tate for as long as they can remember. Don’t get me wrong, I have huge respect for what Tate did back in the day, he was a phenomenal vocalist.
Because he is a head voice falsetto Geoff Tate wanna be! Tate had gobs of vocal power from down deep with great and proper technique and diaphragmatic support. A true power vocalist. Thus guy is not that, unless he's going down deep to do some death metal roar that makes no sense whatsoever in a Queensryche song! That's why! 😎🤘
Because he's a jerk who assaults fans on FB for even suggesting Tate was a better singer in his day... so basically anyone with ears. He's the only person I have blocked on FB for being a terrible human being.
pensnut08 you can get insanely heavy stuff In E standard tuning, just look at obituary’s slowly we rot, Atheist’s Peice of time and unquestionable presence also Pestilence Testimony of the ancients
I am coming here listening and seeing a Queensryche that is very different than I had seen when they had first made it in the 80's. BUT, I must say IF NOT for seeing this on VIDEO, I'd have NO IDEA that this is anything BUT the original lineup. In other words this new lineup has totally done great.
@@antlereddruid8359 The vocals are just not there compared to the 80s and the guitar work is good but bless their heart it is just not like 1984 this pales in comparison.
@@calebproductions5970 after listening to a lot of 80s queensryche I agree with you but as of rn, Todd is better than Geoff is (Geoff still isn't bad but in this point in time,Todd is better)
Saw the original line up many times in the 80s and they were incredible ... although not the original line up it's still great to see the guys kicking some serious ass!
He won't last long at this elevated level. He is performing on a king diamond/merciful fate level and there's maybe 5 singers in the world that can do it. And only for a short period of time.
Our boy from St Pete Fl also drummed on the last record. Todd is an alien. Casey Grillo another monster drumming for them full time now player from Fl..... Love it
This kicks ass!!!!! I was a founding member of the fan club, I remember some of these guys as bag boys at the old local grocery store. I remember when Geoff was NEW to the band after he left MYTH. JEEZ those were good times
I saw them back dio in Birmingham ocean 1984. They were the worst supported support band I have ever seen. Not a soul cheered them. I just remember GTs white jacket and beuffonted hair
G.T is a hard act to follow, but T. L does a great job on all those Queensryche classics. They killed it when I saw them open up for the Scorpions. 🤘💀🤘
Hey, for having no echo machines or voice-over equipment to aid in Todd LaTorre's singing, I think he belted out this number pretty damn good. Noone can match a Geoff Tate or say, a Robert Halford (Judas Priest) but there are a few who can give adaquate justice to songs that are almost impossible to sing by any conventional singer. It's that or never hear these classic, heavy metal songs done live again. I myself, love to go back to the 80's when I grew up, & hear these masterpieces played live and always will. So who gives a f@*k who's singing. As long as they can do justice to the song, I say "Bring it on, really really LOUD and LIVE" \m/
I wasn't a big fan of queensryche in the 80s and 90s, not sure why, I'm glad now because it is all new to me and I'm really getting into them now old and new is great stuff.
This version of QR kicks ass in their own right! They have several albums out that are smokin! I’ve seen them 2x in a smaller venue and they deliver! Recently saw GT and he is kicking ass as well! It’s no either/ or it’s BOTH/AND!
Oh there was drama, but it was back when the internet wasn't like it is now and for the most part they handled themselves pretty good about it. I will say that I was pissed about Chris deciding to join the Tribe tour and then pulling out at the last minute. I went to the show and had no idea until Mike Stone walked out on stage.
Been a Queensryche fan since they released their demo, and I LOVE the new stuff with this new singer. Miss DeGarmo for sure, but this lineup rocks and there’s no mistaking it. Also no mistaking that this new singer SMOKES Tate. It’s laughable how Geoff sounds these days... 🤟
At first it cut off your comment and it looked like it said “no mistaking that this new singer SMOKES” - as if he smokes cigarettes just like Geoff did. ;-)
Don't know how laughable Tate is cause he's getting older and his vocal abilities have degenerated. You get old things fail. SMOKES Tate, nice opinion.
I've seen 'Ryche live twice back in their heyday, and UTA recently. I'd take Brittney over Tate any day. She has an amazing voice and is wonderful to her fans. He's a douche.
I love how Todd wears his sunglasses at all times except for when he’s actually outside in the day time haha. Also, like that little growl in the beginning. Nothing but love for the new QR!
These are times of change and unfortunately there are people who have to leave the bands, I am in Mexico, but people do not always work the way we want and this lineup makes me the best and very healthy ...
And to think I got my selfie w/La Torre under the awning of the Montego in a blinding snowstorm the morning after the concert @ the Peppermill Concert Hall! Who'd a thunk it?!!!
I saw Geoff Tate a few months ago. His voice is totally shot now. This guy is very, very good. The last time I saw Geoff sing Queen of the Reich that good was on the Warning tour. So there you go.
I saw Tate sing it on the Mindcrime tour when they opened for Metallica. He nailed it hard but La Torre can do a good representation of that song that Tate simply cannot do anymore. No hate, no malice, I wish each camp the best and hope they are all happy in the end. I would like to see DeGarmo back in the Ryche. I am not a huge fan of Parker Lundgren's live sound and I think Wilton needs DeGarmo to complement his style.
@@wickedcrypto6004 I Kno people act like he just woke up one day and decided "hey I feel like singing like I'm well past my prime" it happens to singers, musicians, athletes, etc father times a bitch
Saw them in San Diego last night, the whole band sounded even better than this vid. 4th time seeing QR, first was the Hear in the Now Fron-tour. Last night was the best they sounded
I've sang these songs for almost 34 yrs. I think I've sang them well, I've always taken pride in that. Todd sings this great. Geoff's problem was and is, he started to think his shit doesn't stink, he started smoking, and drinking on stage. This is a huge no-no for a singer. He doesn't sound the same, he sang in that upper register all the time. You will not keep your voice the way it was if you do this, you have to work your whole range, warm-up, cool down your voice every time you sing. This has hurt his voice. It happened to him, it happened to Steve Perry, and it happened to Ray Alder from Fates, I don't think Perry ever smoked cigs. I'm not sure. I never have, I'm 50 and can still hit most of these notes(out of practice). That's a lesson for all you younger singers out there. And take lessons from someone who knows how to give them.

are you stoned?
Rockenfield is one of the best rock drummers live and composition
He was a badass in the day
He’s the only original band member that sounds good, the rest of it is shit , pure shit.
Scott has disappeared off of the face of the earth here of late but I do agree he's a great drummer
Todd does a great job he also adds his own style I'm impressed...!!🤟🤟
This is Queensrook! At I saw them 5 times original line up on rage for order & mindcrime tours ...
Todd's got some amazing pipes! How he want from a siren scream to a death metal growl in the beginning -- that was just way cool!
How can anyone equal Geoff Tate? At least Todd is really the only singer that can at least hang a bit.
Glad i saw them do 'Mindcrime' start to finish with the originals back in the day!
Major props to Todd La Torre ... nobody can match the power and clarity of Geoff in his prime, obviously, but Todd is a killer replacement
I’m totally fine with Todd singing in Queenstyche. He does a hell of a job and he’s always cool in his interviews. I miss degarmo though but Eddie and Scott are still there. The backbone of the band and the unsung heroes. Rock on.
The the problem with bands with such iconic singers is that no matter how good the new dude is its just not the same!
Since it doesn't come from the soul ......
Saw Queensryche back in the 80's and 90's and I mean no disrespect but, This is not Queensryche......
Even if you can hit the same notes, the tone isn't the same.

Losing DeGarmo hurt QR much more than losing Tate did.
Couldn't agree more. The band really took a down turn on the post-DeGarmo stuff.
Chris DeGarmo is easily top 5 underrated guitarists in my book.
the last album with DeGarmo wasn't good at all though. Promised Land is the last QR album I go back to.
Agreed!!!
Both. They were unlistenable when Chris left and worse then ever with this silly sound alike.
I wasn't a big fan of queensryche in the 80s and 90s, not sure why, I'm glad now because it is all new to me and I'm really getting into them now old and new is great stuff.

Been a Queensryche fan since they released their demo, and I LOVE the new stuff with this new singer. Miss DeGarmo for sure, but this lineup rocks and there’s no mistaking it. Also no mistaking that this new singer SMOKES Tate. It’s laughable how Geoff sounds these days...
🤟
Tate is a shadow of former self
At first it cut off your comment and it looked like it said “no mistaking that this new singer SMOKES” - as if he smokes cigarettes just like Geoff did. ;-)
Don't know how laughable Tate is cause he's getting older and his vocal abilities have degenerated. You get old things fail. SMOKES Tate, nice opinion.
Saludos a Tod la Torre, por su magnifico trabajo
Todd is amazing. I love his singing on Queen of the Reich!!!!!!!!
Every performance of this (and take hold of the flame) just has to age a singers pipes by a year.....I don't see how Todd can still do it
La Torre isn't bad. Honestly, I've heard the song sung better by Brittney Hayes from Unleash the Archers, but this is creditable.
Britt and UtA killed it with their cover
I've seen 'Ryche live twice back in their heyday, and UTA recently. I'd take Brittney over Tate any day. She has an amazing voice and is wonderful to her fans. He's a douche.
Even Britney Spears would be better man....
Reminded me of Saturday night in Philadelphia had Headbanging on
Wmmr
I love how Todd wears his sunglasses at all times except for when he’s actually outside in the day time haha. Also, like that little growl in the beginning. Nothing but love for the new QR!
Kareochyryche...
Canta muito!!!
This guy on vocals is pretty good !...Geoff Tate the Man...
That's not Geoff Tate, it's Todd La Torre.
Geoff hasn’t made a good album in a long time. It feels weird to say but queensryche sounds better off without him.
j2times2006 his newest one sweet oblivion is great. Best he’s done since American soldier
@Jim Leask MORON..THE GUY IS GOOD..GEOFF IS THE MANNNNNN!!!!!!
@@adinadamian5634 he's not saying that's goeff Tate. He's acknowledging how good this guy is but saying goeff Tate is still the man.
If you've never seen them or know about them you can't really tell the difference by listening to them fan since 86
La torre is awesome
These are times of change and unfortunately there are people who have to leave the bands, I am in Mexico, but people do not always work the way we want and this lineup makes me the best and very healthy ...
Speechless he hit every note and showed a lot of energy. Dude can sing.
lol
If you think he's good you should have seen the first guy they had.......
Off key, screaming and gurgling. I think he should go to a death metal band instead
Todd's great, keep it up!!
vocal loco demais ; isso é musica !!!!!
And to think I got my selfie w/La Torre under the awning of the Montego in a blinding snowstorm the morning after the concert @ the Peppermill Concert Hall! Who'd a thunk it?!!!
Damn that was good.
Timeless classic to have a good start into the New Year, and eagerly waiting for "The Verdict", due out on March 1st...
I saw Geoff Tate a few months ago. His voice is totally shot now. This guy is very, very good. The last time I saw Geoff sing Queen of the Reich that good was on the Warning tour. So there you go.
I saw Tate sing it on the Mindcrime tour when they opened for Metallica. He nailed it hard but La Torre can do a good representation of that song that Tate simply cannot do anymore. No hate, no malice, I wish each camp the best and hope they are all happy in the end. I would like to see DeGarmo back in the Ryche. I am not a huge fan of Parker Lundgren's live sound and I think Wilton needs DeGarmo to complement his style.
It’s called getting old let’s not forget the insane parties
@@wickedcrypto6004 I Kno people act like he just woke up one day and decided "hey I feel like singing like I'm well past my prime" it happens to singers, musicians, athletes, etc father times a bitch
You must not watch a lot of Queensryche. Tate sung the song well into the 2000's.
@@adameves5970 HATS OF TO HIM He is good. bud I wish the whole band could get along at least for the fans.
Best Song of Queensryche
Saw them in San Diego last night, the whole band sounded even better than this vid. 4th time seeing QR, first was the Hear in the Now Fron-tour. Last night was the best they sounded
Saw these guys back in 2014 there amazing
Amazing voice. Really well done, especially live.
I've sang these songs for almost 34 yrs. I think I've sang them well, I've always taken pride in that. Todd sings this great. Geoff's problem was and is, he started to think his shit doesn't stink, he started smoking, and drinking on stage. This is a huge no-no for a singer. He doesn't sound the same, he sang in that upper register all the time. You will not keep your voice the way it was if you do this, you have to work your whole range, warm-up, cool down your voice every time you sing. This has hurt his voice. It happened to him, it happened to Steve Perry, and it happened to Ray Alder from Fates, I don't think Perry ever smoked cigs. I'm not sure. I never have, I'm 50 and can still hit most of these notes(out of practice). That's a lesson for all you younger singers out there. And take lessons from someone who knows how to give them.
He actually hit that high wow!!!
He got damn close, earned my thumbs up
And damn low too
he sounds as bad as axl
Not exactly ,but he gave it everything he had !
He knew it was about to break down that is why he didn't finish, Geoff always finished
The music lives on
It would be great if Ryche came out with a really heavy album, like thrash metal, try something new...this isnt the old ryche anyways
Todd rocks it!
One of the best singers of Metal despite being hated by many assholess \m/
This is what queensryche is supposed to sound like. Great job
\m/ super band Queensryche \m/
