Queensryche's/Geoff Tate replacement: Todd La Torre

[Inca Roads]

I think he's Pretty Damn Spot On!

 

[gtrwun]

Dude can sing, no doubt. I'd go see these guys before I'd see Tate's "version" or QR.

 

[MARK1970]

I really want to see them perform all the old stuff. As far as Tate, not so much. I want to see what new music Queensryche make with the new singer. Hopefully, it was Tate that killed Queensryche.

 

[GtarLover]

He sounds excellent!

Obviously studied the older Queensryche stuff and Tate's style because he has the nuances.

Can't wait to see a show.

That sounds great, looking forward to what they come out with.

I already have voiced my opinion on Tate.. i don't think he was ever that great of a singer and this song was horrible BUT this guy sounds better than the original.

 

[Valtyr]

He sounds fine to me.

 

[Heritage Softail]

Cool. I would like to see that band. Lots of great material over the years.

This is good...

 

[SLOgriff]

Meh, he still struggles.... Tate is the originator, like him or hate him.

 

[Kapo_Polenton]

Thing is guys, everyone benefits from studio magic and being able to have a rested voice with 20 takes. Especially now where you can cut and paste vocal lines. None of these guys ever really sounded as good as the recording did they? A few guys could bring it but for the most part, many were inconsistent depending on the night I think. Not like these registrars are easy on the voice. I always think of Bruce on the Number of the Beast. Holy shitballs he hit some notes.

ps- i thought the dude above did pretty good given the high notes he had to hit

This new guy Todd La Torre probably doesn't live as dangerously as tate. I mean, does the guy even have his own wine?

Haha . Thankfully, no. Nor does he have Tate's whine.

Good point. I also didn't see him make a single blind, 12-inch jump backwards on stage anywhere in that performance video posted above ("Eh, love that").

 

[philb]

Good version. He's doing just fine.

I think that he is doing a great job at replacing Tate and I'm stoked to hear what they will come up with. I feel that his replacing Midnight in Crimson Glory was a bigger feet, as Midnight had a much higher register.
