what is actually worse than queensryche?

Could we perhaps call it Exhibition Rock?

gasface rock

Haha, his synopsis is "Geoff can sing all those notes, he just doesn't want to. Greatness should be exhibited in doses."

I think I can refute Geoff still sounding great with any number of Youtube videos. I can't tell if it's because of his years of smoking, or the fact that he pretty much hates his musical legacy at this point.

yknow he could just stop

Great thread.

I probably haven't even thought of Queensryche in over 10 years, but I'm amused by the idea that it is now "Geoff and some other guys" wherein Geoff completely blows.

The thing is, I don't think Queensryche is actually that similar to the other bands we're talking about. Except for the 10-min "Suite Sister Mary", which I always skip, there is only one song on Mindcrime that is over 6m. There are five tracks that are less than 2m. It's only proggy in the Wall sense of being a narrative-based rock opera with high-budget production. (I barely pay attention to the narrative.) The songs are mostly pretty straightforward and traditional in structure. In fact, the band was largely there to support Tate, which is very different from what Dream Theater do, let alone these instrumental exhibition bands.

makes them sound like they play at county fairs, or auto shows

you know what, I want to watch jjjusten choose between Queensryche and Stryper

Attila.

attila would be terrible if anybody actually _liked_ them

nothing is worse than Queensryche

queensryche sounds like the pokemon theme song

Vice versa, surely?

I.......like Queensryche

I do too. Im seein em in two days!

"nothing is worse than Queensryche"

nonsense. Dream Theater is far far worse (I don't know why the first post says they're not allowed).

y'all should go see them with Fates Warning if they come by your town. top notch musicianship.

hell it was even louder than I expected for a RYCHE Show ffs lol

i should do no such thing

dude i hung out with in high school was the biggest Ryche fan i knew, even had his parents get him a customized plate: i believe it was RYCHE8

EMPIRE still slays

There's a million bands worse than Queensryche but there's few bands who ever topped their early 80s look for sheer "why would any band want to look like that" factor.

iirc Geoff Tate had to wear his hair "that way" permanently because it was a temporary bird sanctuary.

Tate has three daughters: Sabra, Bella, and Emily, along with one stepdaughter, Miranda. Tate was never married to Sabra's mother. In 2011, Miranda gave Geoff his first grandchild, giving birth to Riot Danger.[citation needed]
