STRYPER Frontman Michael Sweet On QUEENSRŸCHE - "Todd La Torre Is Every Bit As Good As Geoff Tate Was In His Prime And Then Some"
October 17, 2013, 10 years ago
STRYPER vocalist/guitarist Michael Sweet weighed in on new QUEENSRŸCHE vocalist Todd La Torre in a recent post on Facebook:
"Everyone who says or thinks 'No Tate, No Way' well, you're missing out on a really great, revised band. Todd is every bit as good as Tate was in his prime and then some. It takes a lot to impress me and Todd more than impresses me - I'm shocked at how good and consistent he really is. And he's nice and humble to boot. You can't ask for any more than that. Give the guy a chance and open your minds, you won't regret it."Queensrÿche's European tour schedule is now as follows.
