Tate's voice sounds very good. The band is alright, I miss the original lineup. Sad to see him playing venues like these now after packing stadiums.

I'm totally late to the Queensryche party, only getting into them in recent years. It's too bad the original lineup is no more, they really were phenomenal.

Not sure if you know this but the rest of the band still tours as Queensryche. Original guitarist bassist and drummer. I'm not sure which is better to see live though.

I saw the OG with Tate in 2004/2005 without Degarmo with my then wife and it was a fantastic show rivaling when I seen them in 1987 on the Operation Mindcrime tour and then the Empire tour.
I have to say Tate is sounding good in the above live show.

This singer Todd Latorre is amazing and I think the OG band is much better. Looks like the OG drummer Rockenfield finally hung it up in 2017. Wilton is still playing well!
Marshall JVM's and DSL100's and as good of tone as they had back in the day with JCM800's and SLO and all the rack stuff they started using. I take that back none of the Marshall are turned on or plugged into in these videos.
According to what I could find he uses Kemper live on the 2025 tour.
Touring Rig Details
- Core Unit: Kemper Profiler (used for direct DI live signals) Queensryche's Michael Wilton - GEAR MASTERS Ep. 80
- Classic Profiles: He utilizes Kemper profiles of his original Operation: Mindcrime and Empire era amps (e.g., Roland JC-120 for cleans) KEMPER PROFILER - Bender techs for Queensrÿche and ...
- Guitars: Signature ESP and GMP models equipped with Seymour Duncan (such as Jeff Beck) or Dean pickups, Sustaniac hard drivers, and FU-Tone tremolo/titanium upgrades Queensryche's Michael Wilton

Todd La Torre is an excellent vocalist, and he does a very good imitation of Tate
I only wish he did as good of an impression of Midnight. It's the only way to hear Crimson Glory, as midnight passed of course. But he was an inimitable vocalist, and it says a lot about La Torre that he has enough confidence to take on gigs like this.
