In case you needed further proof that Geoff Tate is a douche

this is cool ... about 50 sec in

Very cool!

A guy that gets it. The Anti Axl

Glad to see them out there doing it keeping rock/metal on the streets

'Operation Mindcrime' is a masterpiece! It's probably the best metal album of the 1980's, and is one of the few from that era that I can still listen to.

I don't quite understand all the Geoff Tate bashing? So the guy lost his phone - so what! I use to sneak a 35mm camera w/lenses into concerts back in the 70's/80's knowing there was a good chance that it could be confiscated... That was half the fun of doing it! Better to have a band member take it from you than some fat security guy who reeks of Dorito's and Papst Blue Ribbon.

like we really need any more proof the guys is a grade A douchebag

What a dick, sad the QR guys are pussy's because his actions are deserving of a beat down. Once spit at on stage all professionalism is out the window...would have loved to see his ass kicked right there onstage, in front of the crowd and QR's guys beating his ass and holding the live mic to his face repeatedly told to "say I'm a bitch" or we're beating you unconscious lol.

great vocalist....one of the biggest assholes known to man, not just the musical world.

Here's how that douche canoe (tate) could have handled it (3:06);

Now THAT was cool.

If that douchebag had done that to me, he would have been wearing my beer....

I'm sorry if I missed this in this already epic thread but to be honest, what were there, 30 people in that club? Couldn't have been that hard to get his camera back. Tate probably thought he was playing a little with the dude and had thrown it closer to him then he did. Either way, dick move.

As for Queensryche, I've had to admit that Tate did actually have an impressive voice.. as for the band though, nothing there to really hook me in. I don't like a lot of their tunes. I think Jet City Woman is probably their best tune so clearly I don't get it. Queen of the Reich is one of the biggest piece of shit songs I have ever heard personally. I'm surprised someone signed them in the first place with that effort. Then again, tons of crappy bands got signed (Faster Pussycat lol) so not sure I made a valid point!

If your saying "Faster Pussycat" in the same breath as talking about vintage QR......yeah, you don't get it! Lol

Love it!

Sounds like a cool guy to me.
