QUEENSRŸCHE frontman Geoff Tate spoke to Komodorock.com recently about a number of topics including the newly-released Mindcrime At The Moore CD/DVD. Here are a few excerpts from the chat:

Komodorock.com: With the Mindcrime tour you just did, you put out the DVD Mindcrime At The Moore here in the UK quite recently. How pleased are you with how that has turned out?

Tate: "Very pleased. I think it’s the best live DVD we have ever made. A lot of planning went into that, a lot of work on the production. Then putting it all together took months."

Komodorock.com: I think that shows on the final product.

Tate: "Yeah it turned out really good. I’m very pleased with it."

Komodorock.com: You have a lot of superimposing of what is going on the video screens. That’s pretty special, it gives the impression of what it is like in the audience. You don’t always get that on live DVD’s.

Tate: "Yeah it’s a really special DVD. I think the fans have really embraced it. They will continue to find things in it that are interesting to see."

Komodorock.com: With the UK tour in December, what can fans expect from the show? With it being a co headlining spot with THIN LIZZY. Will you be bringing a big stage show or will it be quite toned down?

Tate: "I think it will be more concentrating on the music, because we haven’t toured in some of the cities that we will be playing for so many years. I think it’s a good idea to expose people to selections from all the different records. The problem that we have is that we have so many darn songs. With so many records it’s always difficult to figure out what we play live."

Komodorock.com: And what people want to hear?

Tate: "Yeah, it’s almost impossible. We can’t of course play everything. It’s difficult for us to decide what to play. We have a sort of betting pool going on in the band. Someone will pick a song to play then inevitably someone will say 'I’m tired of playing that song, lets play this one.' There’s a sort of political pop string going on trying to get the songs that you want to play on the set list."
