Going up onstage with the REAL QUEENSRŸCHE and play 'Take Hold Of The Flame' this thursday at the Phoenix in Toronto. Going to be fun stuff!

It was obvious he wasn't thrilled with Tate's version being that he quit before they even played a note, but this sends a pretty clear message on where he stands on the situation.

Chris Poland just announced he is guesting on Tate's "New QR" album. I a bit disappointed he would even get involved in that.

Was on Amazon yesterday - looked at what was recommended for me in music. The new Queensryche album for Pre-order! I clicked on it to see what how it was described/song names/etc. Well, it wasn't the Queensryche I was thinking of - it's the Geoff Tate version. And yep, I saw Chris Poland's name on there as a contributor.

Needless to say I didn't add this to my cart.

He's a professional musician, pay his rate, and he'll play a solo.

He's probably got a giant nest egg that the original members have no idea about. Fuck Geoff Tate.

Well, he's still a share owner in the Queensryche company, so he'll have a good chunk coming to him when a settlement comes his way. Or they buy out his shares or however that works.

That's the album cover for his Queensryche's new album.

The album was most likely written by Jason Slater who has written almost everything on the last 3 Queensryche albums. It's full of guest spots-

Musicians

Geoff Tate - lead vocals
Craig Locicero - guitars
Paul Bostaph - drums

Guest musicians

Robert Sarzo - guitars
Rudy Sarzo - bass
Simon Wright - drums
Randy Gane - keyboards
K.K. Downing
Chris Poland
Ty Tabor
Lita Ford
Brad Gillis
Dave Meniketti

Production

Jason Slater - production, mixing
Maor Appelbaum - mastering

He also re-recorded "Silent Lucidity", "Empire", "Jet City Woman" and "I Don't Believe In Love" and is releasing them as bonus tracks on the album.

I can't believe he's re-recording those songs. There's no fucking way he can sing I Don't Believe in Love or Jet City Woman without tuning them waaaaay down.

Also that album cover is amazing. What a douche nozzle. :rofl:

Michael Wilton -

"(2011) is when I noticed on our profit and loss documents that expenses were being abused. I started sending copies to Eddie Jackson and Scott Rockenfield of all business expenses and chargebacks that were coming to be. Susan Tate and Geoff Tate were already receiving these so they already had their copies. At the request of Eddie Jackson, Scott Rockenfield and myself, we asked for more documents from our accountant and began looking at the upcoming tour budget. We saw that Susan Tate had the income and expenses for her new band, The Voodoos, being run through our accounts without ever telling any of us. Since they did not have work visas, they had to run all of their business income through our tax ID and checking accounts! We were told only that they were touring for us as an opening act for a small fee. I was furious about this! This is illegal, and she put our business at risk because she didn't have the right legal paperwork for her band to perform in the States! She had no right to run anything other than Queensyrhce-related expenses as our manager through our accounts. Geoff Tate was on board with her actions and did not relay this information to us."

Yeah, there was also the deal with him and that movie studio who were giving him a few grand to use the story from Mindcrime that he was doing behind everyone's backs.

No doubt he got a few other deals struck up without anyone's notice.
