Without DeGarmo any reunion would be useless… I would 1000% rather see Queensryche with Chris and Todd. I think Tate is a great singer, but I think he’s a giant douchebag and I hate him for ruining a great band with his bullshit. The second I saw their vaudeville tour pics it was obvious he was trying to destroy whatever value the band had left at that point. It’s like when Lynch tried to destroy Dokken by insisting they have Kelley Gray produce Shadowlife. It was rumored that Gray always hated Dokken so this was an obvious choice if he hated the band too. Incidentally, Kelly Gray was the first guy that Tate got into Queensryche after DeGarmo left. He was also one of the guitarists in Myth, Tate’s pre Queensryche band. Supposedly they (Tate and Gray) hated heavy metal. I would postulate it’s because they’re fucking GAY. Who hates heavy metal ??? And likes vaudeville ??? They belong over at TGP.Unfortunately, Geoff soured the experience of him doing that when he went in to write for one of the albums after he left. All the members wrote about it in the lawsuit when they kicked him out. They had to prod Chris to do it, they needed his help writing or just some ideas, but Geoff was shooting everything down and dictating things in a "This isn't your band anymore" way, when the dude was just there to help out.
I can absolutely see Geoff and Scott approaching Ed and Mike about a reunion, but I think it's safe to say the DeGarmo ship has long sailed.
