Spiro Lagousis LoL favorite comment of the day ! 😄

🤣

THE coffee

hooray for the coffee 😀

Spiro Lagousis perfect comment

voice like no other. have listened to this group since i was a teen and they are still at the top of my list

RIGHT ON! He sounds great!!

His voice was so powerful even as he's aged. Geoff took care of his voice and grateful for that.

Hell yeah, you said it best,

Same here.

In my top 5 too.🤘🤘

Absolutely

Agreed.

What are the other 4?

Douche Credits Paid!! :D Never took a sip... the Hat was almost fitting for his head! :D Geoff! Legend Vocals!!

Coffee ? We sure ? Not tea maybe ? lol

He's off key on his own song, but ok... Geoff's voice was amazing back in the day, one of not if the best live voices ever in metal. Even for his age he's not all that impressive today, compare him with Bruce Dickenson who's about the same age and he's fallen off a lot less. Plus as person he's fucking asshole. In someways I view him like Paul Di'Anno loved his voice but a complete tool only with Geoff it's not because of substance abuse it's because that's who he is.

GlassTopRX7 what?! Who cares- still sounds great

I don't think that is Geoff Tate, he doesn't look like that

yeah vice grips on the testicles must surely hurt.....vocal genius

Geoff Tate is one of those vocalists that cannot be touched when covering their songs. One can only hope to not screw it up.

@@joshuaswanson1977 the Queensrÿche singer disagree

@@EricMacFadden I didn't say he wasn't good, just not Geoff Tate. It's like comparing apples to oranges. While he does a decent job with the Geoff Tate era Queensryche songs, he's not Geoff Tate.

@@joshuaswanson1977 it was a joke.

@FatalPies Hence the wording "one of." Why is there always some god damn jackass like you in every music conversation who says "no so and so was better?" Just stfu.

Had one of the best. Now he is subpar.

@@dsorichetti154 Babe Ruth was one of the best baseball players ever, now he's dead and he isn't the best. Everyone's Talent diminishes as they get older or die.

FatalPies -he cant sing his own songs anymore...

@@wordragon what the fuck are you talking about? He just sang one of his own songs. By the way could you sing any of his songs? Post a video or audio of you singing them.

😂😂😂🤘🤘

the one on the balls come first, the coffe late-r

Quick game of pocket billiards..

It'll B Badass If He Brings Bk Chris DeGarmo Along With It Too...😠👍

"Unplugged For Order"? Jesus, Just NO. One thing I always admired Ronnie James Dio for was to never pull some sappy Rainbow/Sabbath/Dio Unplugged Tour. "The Mob Relaxes: An Evening at Home With Ronald J. Padovana".

yes Latte Power

@Five Dogs Ranch yes, but why does he look like he should be carrying a baguette in 1920s Paris?

me not you “Because he’s Geoff Tate?” Final answer? Yes, final answer! That’s correct, you know have a free mochaccino ☕️. 👋🏻🤘🏻

Five Dogs Ranch 😂😂😂

I've always admired his voice talent, I can't understand how he has been so stifled over the years - maybe it was his choice, maybe he lives in his truth - I dunno, but his voice has rocked decades!!

I hope the bit about notes being dead on was meant ironically...🤔

Agreed, but ya gotta throw Steve Perry in there too

Dio?

Mercury?

Meatloaf.....just kidding lol

I like the Tony Martin's tempre too.

he can't because he only has the rights to operation mindcrime 1 and 2. he can't even use the queensryche name in any way.

Chuck Novy I fucking agree 😄

Yeeessss.....!!!! 😆

I wish he had some reverb on his voice but it's still great

FPChris there is reverb on his voice.

@@iamagr8hunter I hear a touch of delay. If there's reverb it's still too dry IMO.

John Doss yeah, take hold of the flame is just brilliant

For me....it was The Lady Wore Black

Same here, and at around the same time. We put the album on, trying to grasp what we were listening to as we listened to "Warning", not certain if we really liked it, but, by the time we got to "Take Hold Of The Flame", we were hooked!

He is fucking amazing tallent iv always dug Queensryche

So much emotion in his voice

Lol ya ur right

True!

Hey Mike! Big fan of your channel!

Or Dostoevsky's The Possessed.

Sounds like when i first heard the song the first amazing and awesome thank you for the music and memories that go with them

Best overall singer, range, quality, screams, ever! Wow

Absolutely fantastic voice!

If you want to see him get respect, do a search for vocal coach reacts to Queensryche Take Hold of the Flame. That's a rabbit hole I"ve gone down over the past few months. Especially check out TheCharismaticVoice channel for that song.

@@the-dave-house-project I really enjoyed Mike Goodrich's reaction: VOICE TEACHER REACTS TO - QUEENSRYCHE - Take Hold Of The Flame - Live in Tokyo. When Geoff hits that high e note from 2 octaves below, Mike's face was priceless! When I see reactions to his voice, I always get a kick out of the reactor's faces. I'm like, yeah. He's THAT good live.

@@mermaid_at_heart213 Yep! That's a good one too. :)

Wow dude still has it fuken amazing!!

I don't hate him, I saw Q R in 2011 (just in time) Tate was so great just mesmerizing I've been obsessed every since.

Marc Atherton LoL .... take note Nikki sixx

He's aging gracefully. Still worth a concert ticket.

Hell yeah.

He sounds great. But Dress like a teenager? The Sean Connery at a coffee shop doeskin really fit IMHO. Many older musicians can still dress appropriately and not dress like 80's glam.. Seriously you think that look would look right n stage? His bandmates surely didnt shop at the same store. However yes he sounds great!!!

He looks like some yuppy hipster douche. Capitalism is stronger though.

This is Dope 👍

Same!

I still think that if legal stuff hadnt happend tate would have left queenscryche anyway.. especially listening to his.solo stuff.. artistically different direction.

Me too

Same here

Yes....a definate Golden Voice!!!

Even after I die!

Hands down one of the greatest of all time.

Along with Chris

Listen to the lyric from the original recording of this track. "I've always known that the MIRROR never lies" He hasn't hit those notes in 20 years & won't sing anything off the first few albums because of it. I don't blame him, Geoff had fantastic range back in the day, but has a mainly low register.Most singers lose their high end with age, but it was bound to happen to Geoff because he had a deep voice to begin with. Todd is lucky to have a high register so he probably won't encounter this issue with age. Aside from that, I saw the footage of the way Geoff behaved toward his bandmates on stage, spitting in Scott Rockenfield's face repeatedly & punching Wilton in the face before the same show.I lost all respect for him as a person at that point.

Citizen 337 degarmo was the heart. Tate was the soul

@@_BLACKSTAR_ Respect is what each human has to deliver to be respected otherwise the former strongest is lost to the next one.

Well, and Chris Degarmo's licks.

whoa. no love for degarmo?

Wrong. Degarmo's songwriting is what made QR. Their music fell off a cliff after he left, regardless of how good Tate's voice is.

I think Geoff was incredibly important to their success, but so was Chris. Often times it is the combination of elements that is what allows both to achieve more than they would have apart. I dont think either would have been as successful without the other.

Geoff was/is phenomenal... but PLEASE .... Scott played the shit out of those awesome chain link drums ... Queensryche had a lot going for it - including chemistry - but like all beautiful things, it came to an end .... a sad, sad end ....

dude mister ha ha ha ha

Best comment!

looking at the color of his teeth, he needs to put it down.

What's with the coffee?

😂

Find the MTV Unplugged clips with Queensryche. All acoustic and this song was among the ones they performed. Done years ago and those unplugged session's were amazing. I loved this performance but seriously go watch the Unplugged versions too.

@@KamaraNoir I've got the MTV unplugged. They didn't do Eyes of a Stranger on it.

@@djjefferson311 Shit I could have sworn that was on there... weird. Ck this out www.google.com/url?sa=t&source=web&rct=j&url=www.dailymotion.com/video/x2urg76&ved=2ahUKEwiki42FvqniAhW0oFsKHQhuAd4QtwIwC3oECAIQAQ&usg=AOvVaw1rPYBhSDDeBfsp2lvV097h

Yes! Very well spoken , I couldn't have said better myself! They sound incredible!!!

black star why do you post the same reply in every comment?

@@MJHiteshew Because it's easier then typing out the same response multiple times.

@@_BLACKSTAR_ oh wow. I had no idea...yeah, Hard to respect that. With that being said. I'll give it a listen and a fair chance. Thanks for the heads up!

I literally just bought Operation Mindcrime for $4.00 two days ago! And I agree..EPIC LP. I can't believe I still remember the lyrics. LOL!

Operation Mindcrime Tour ...Long Beach Sports Arena. Best concert I’ve ever been to !

@@kellicouch5883 hahah, I hear ya, I still lose my voice everytime I try to sing along with the album, lol! (Keyword "try")

That's not falsetto.

@justin evans LOL..I hear ya. I used to belt it out with the greats ie. Geoff, Bruce, Rob, etc. as a teenager. I've always had a great voice but sadly, the aging process has taken it's toll somewhat & the pipes are beginning to crack a bit. But at least our generation created the best music ever recorded. Unlike the "music" of today..CRAP!! I never thought I'd say Rock-n-Roll is dead but..it is.😢

Absolutely.

There has been Queensrÿche without Tate since 2012 and it's going great.

🤣🤣🤣

​@@AlexSosaBolivia Laughs? Perhaps you don't think so... Perhaps you think he is not one of the best voices in rock history or perhaps you think he does have all the recognition he deserves...

@@christianperla7126 What’s funny is your use of the term “underrated” to describe a singer who is in fact very highly rated. His skills as a vocalist have never been in question by anyone with any knowledge of this music. Either you’re unaware of the meaning of the word “underrated,” or you’re deliberately putting forth an idea that is patently false.

@@AlexSosaBolivia Surely he is not on the rate he deserves. No way... random comment by a random guy that makes comments without giving his face. Bye!

@@christianperla7126 LOL. Nothing is more random and ridiculous than this hysterical need to label just about everyone on RU-vid “underrated” in some sorry and misguided attempt to project that you are in possession of knowledge that the rest of the world is ignorant of. Geoff Tate is not “underrated” by any stretch of the imagination. I know it’s asking a lot to expect people today to understand the meaning of the language they choose to use, but you might give it a try just once, OK Sparky?

Haha

He actually looks like a combination of both guys from Mythbusters.

It's "Peaky Blinded: A Roaring '20s Queensrÿche Retrospective".

The song has been tuned down to his level he cant hack it electric anymore

The backing vocalists bail him out massively.

M.RileyJunior Bullshit, bro. That sounded great!

He sounds like a guy who can't hack it anymore. He sounds like shit!!!

@@seanmeier8704 troll....

with a crowbar......badump dump

@@poppyhimbo You beat me to it

Since 2005, honestly

Thank you Tobias Sammet.

Wow...I actually thought he lost his voice...still sounds rough...but the...talent is still there

Someone tell tony martin

See the REAL Qeensryche with Todd LaTorre in 2019 to hear all the notes Geoff hasn't been able to hit in 20 years.

Im trying im trying!

See what putting DOWN cigs drugs and booze can do!

Try Dark Water a great band reminds of Dream Theater in the good years

100% agree.

rticle15 Hell yeah. They knew just how to dial it in for Geoff’s voice. Makes all the difference. Makes a great singer sound even greater

You obviously can't hear ! It sucked !

@@jaylynn3346 Sounds fine to me. If you can say something more mature than it sucks I'd love to hear it. Otherwise...

@@arongamman9360 Sounds fine cause you are deaf !

@@jaylynn3346 Oh, that's so much more mature. I'm going to take the high road and admit we have much different tastes.

@@arongamman9360 Or maybe take the realistic road and admit you're a dolt....

I raise my cup of coffee to that! ☕ :3

"But while we're at it: Take hold! Of the flaaaame" ;) Sorry, could not resist an opportunity for a bad pun!

He changed it so that he sings some of the particularly really high bits differently, but that's smart. It sounds infinitely better than him failing to hit notes.

He’s always been amazingly intelligent when it comes to that...saves it for what he knows he can do flawlessly and comes off totally pro! This guy was one of my biggest influences back in the day

@@DashCat9 saved it all for the end. Destroying the bridge and final refrain.

It's called getting old it will happen to you too.

I take it you didn't even listen to it. He actually killed it! So being so negative, dude. Geez
