Former Queensrÿche vocalist Geoff Tate - now fronting Operation: Mindcrime - recently guested on the Music Mania podcast and discussed his volatile parting of ways with the band in June 2012 as well as the new Operation: Mindcrime album, Resurrection. Check out the interview below.
Australia's Heavy recently spoke with Queensrÿche singer Todd La Torre about fronting the band and replacing Tate. Following is an excerpt from the interview.
La Torre: "Seriously, he’s been hailed as one of the greatest of all time of the genre. In my opinion, he created a sound and style of singing. At first, I knew I was going to be harshly criticised. Even if I sounded perfect, I am not him. And because I’m not him, people will say 'You’re never as good as him in his prime,' and blah fuckin’ blah. And I say, 'at almost 43 years old, I’m hitting notes that he wasn’t.' He carved a path for many and was very influential in my vocal styling and was a reason why I enjoy this kind of singing. I didn’t invent it, I put my own little twist on things, but that guy was very innovative and unique. He should be immensely respected for that."
