OMG! WHAT AN AWESOME SONG & TERRIFIC VIDEO! I AM GRIEVING A LOSS TODAY, AND THIS SONG HAS BEEN RANDOMLY PLAYING IN MY MIND FOR THE LAST 24 HRS, THEN I FOUND THIS VIDEO AND IT'S PERFECT 😇 THANK U 🤘🏻🤗💓✝️💜💜🤘🏻🤘🏻
why would you expect a mess? QR proved years ago that it was Tate that made the 2000s albums suck when they axed him and got Todd to become the singer, now they're every bit as good as they were in the 80s and 90s
I really wish the remaining original members of Queensryche had taken the Creed/Alter Bridge route and just changed their name and started over. Queensryche without Tate, DeGarmo, and Rockenfield is just not Queensryche anymore.
most people probably won't get how you mean it...when you don't have the guy who breathed life into these songs and on top of it you got another guy that mimics Tate's style and even his tone like a Chameleon, instead of making the songs his own by adding a distinct style/ colour of his own tone to the songs. He did the exact same thing for Crimson Glory a few years back, mimicking Midnight. He is powerful with a good range but there is no character or personality coming out, he just sings "in the style" of other people. Do fans need this?
He sounds just like Geoff Tate on this song but he was supposed for say ( Silent lucidity ) at the end of the song but he didn't & I'm also glad that they kept it like when Geoff Tate was with them
I was very skeptical of Mr. la Torre at the beginning of this video, I'm a Geoff Tate fan all the way, but i cannot sit here and say that i didn't enjoy this version just as much as the original, he brings his own feeling and emotion to this and i am now a fan, he may not be Tate, but that's okay, he fills his own niche
Yes he is Allison I saw them twice the first time I got to shake his hand both times was when he had hair & it was just all original members of the band & the second time I saw them was when he had his daughter with him to sing that duo ( Coming Home ),off of that cd dedicated to the troops overseas The American Soldier tour back in 2009
Lols, it's not a cover, Todd La Torre is the current front man for Queensrÿche and has been for quite of number of years now. Like Pineda on Journey they are super great but they cannot hold the note long enough or while doing a falsetto. Though these guys are great within their own rights otherwise they wouldn't be the lead singers, but the original singers will always be KING.
It died before then. "Promised Land" was their last great album and DeGarmo was with them for a few albums after that release. Queensryche died when they decided they wanted to sound like what was happening at the time (GRUNGE) instead of continuing with their own unique sound. I will say, the last couple of albums with the new singer aren't bad and are better than those late 90s early 00s albums, but they're a different band now and lack that 80s Euro metal meets Pink Floyd sound from their peak.
I'm pleasantly surprised by Tod's vocals. I've seen Geoff twice & was expecting a subpar performance. Vibe is different without Chris, but all in all, really good performance.
Just like many others, came here to see how much worse the "new" singer was than Geoff, but the guy can sing and sounds really similar. Kind of like another band we know called "Journey."
he's been there for nearly 8 years, can you really still call him a "New singer"? also, with him, QR has returned to the same level of quality that they had during their hayday. the only ones who dislike him or the current band are the ones with Tate's dick in their mouths
Cmon guys hes not Geoff, leave him alone and enjoy the music. I think its good to have their own character, not copy paste. Even-though yes silent lucidity is most likely like “Geoff song” but hes not in the band no more.....gonna watch them on Jan 19th in Jax Florida. Just curious with the new vocalist.
Awesome any dudes or girls who rip Todd Latorre in these comments are total trolls if I have to read one more troll comments like He sucks or He is not Geoff or sounds like Crash Test Dummies I will puke He does a total excellent and professional job and seems like a nice dude to boot
The band made great albums in the past but their latest 3 albums with Todd are really great recordings and the sound is awesome. Queensryche has continued making great music and are still a force to be reckoned with. Super band!
Queensryche without Geoff Tate and Chris DeGarmo is like Aerosmith without Steven Tyler and Joe Perry, or the Rolling Stones without Mick Jagger and Keith Richards.
Calling BS on that, The 3 albums with Todd are as good as any the band has ever done, and EASILY better than anything QR has done since the first Mindcrime
Those albums from the mid 90s onward with Geoff were extremely lackluster. Todd brought that fIre back into QR. The new material, original songs with Todd are everybit as great as QR in the 80s.
I’m just not into a wannabe Geoff…..And A wannabe queensryche. they wanted someone that sounded exactly like Geoff and it to me he’s just a filler so they can continue to have a career… But I won’t take anything away from the singer because his voice is pretty good
He's definately not Geoff Tate....I'm an old school Queensryche fan and when Geoff left I turned away from Queensryche. This is OK but like I said this dude is no Geoff Tate and I prefer hearing Geoff's voice. More so a sad Queensryche verses the power house Queensryche. I do not say anyone has or needs to agree with me, it's merely MY opinion and MY preferences, to each his or her own.
For the people saying this is spot on...STOP listening to music. You don't know what you're listening to obviously. This Is basically a cover band now...A garage band trying to sound like Geoff and failing miserably. It's NOT EVEN close, or anywhere near as good. The delay sounds like the soundguys 1st day at doing sound. All around its not very good.
Not completely unpleasant. YES ! I did it ! I commented on your little tribute band without being absolutely condemning & was mostly genuine. So, proud of myself. BTW, The Thirsty Turtle hosts 80's Cover Bands on Tuesday nights. It'd be a great gig for you kids & you got a pretty awesome shot of scoring with a Trailer Park Feral Cougar. They come out of the woodpanelling on Tuesdays. Double wrap & scotch guard it, though. Wouldn't want that cats crotch fever. Anyhoot, do you fellas take requests ? 🤘Long Live Queensrÿpe!🤘
Good try, but I'm sorry not to be compered, NO ONE CAN DO IT BUT Geoff. 🥺 Good luck to you Tod, and all the best, but it's not possible to catch up the legendary, master voice of Geoff Tate. Not your fault, though, you would be great in any other band, but NOT in Queensryche, sorry
Wow, he sounds a helluva lot better than GT does these days! I’d see them For those hatin: you can’t go back to 1989 or 91. And if you do sing like it’s 1991
Pedro Barajas who said anything about Geoff. I said it wasn’t bad but I think he did a nice job with it. He didn’t write it or record it so essentially he is covering it. Not a big deal.
Todd sounds Amazing! I went to one of Queenriche’s concerts with Geoff the lead singer & he didn’t do very well. I’m looking forward to going to a Queenriche concert with Todd their frontman in 2023! 🎶
As much as many of us wish, this is not Geoff Tate. It's a stranger putting his spin on a Geoff song. Geoff is the only one that can do Geoff. Others come close but it's Geoff's. My opionion. I'm aloud.
becky rockwell I completely agree. Tate has a depth to his voice that can’t be copied. This guy isn’t horrible, but it is tinny on higher notes, makes me cringe, and off key. But that’s just me.
I'd suggest you go watch Geoff nowdays with his band & then go watch Todd w/Queensryche. There is no comparison. My bet is you'd no longer be praising Tater-Tot.
Becky, it's not about "doing" Geoff, it's about being him. You now got a Chameleon mimicking the real guy...he even puts the voice on which is absolutely appalling in my view to mimic someone's feel and style. The guy's got no character but even if he did, if it's not Geoff it's not queensrych. Geoff IS Queensryche. It's about the personality and the guy who gave the band the character and style and that's only Tate. It's certainly not the guitarists with the cliche phrasing that sound like another 5 million guitar players that play overdone pentatonic licks and mostly with a mediocre or sometimes even bad tone (e.g solos of operation mindcrime sounding like a synthesiser). In this band it's always been about the song writing and Geoff IS the songs of Queensryche. No Geoff = No Queensryche
His ego, mostly. His wife and kid were involved with the management and fan club and were mishandling things. The others in the band expressed concerns, and he started treating them and the crowds like crap at concerts until they ultimately fired him. Then there was a huge lawsuit over who got to keep the name since he was touring as Queensryche still, and so were they. Ultimately, they got the Queensryche name and he got the rights to Operation Mindcrime.
They are still making great music. no different than Journey without Steve Perry. Foreigner with Lou Gramm or Queen without Freddie Mercury. The list goes go on. Brian Johnson did a hell of a job with AC/DC and have been still successful.
OMG! WHAT AN AWESOME SONG & TERRIFIC VIDEO! I AM GRIEVING A LOSS TODAY, AND THIS SONG HAS BEEN RANDOMLY PLAYING IN MY MIND FOR THE LAST 24 HRS, THEN I FOUND THIS VIDEO AND IT'S PERFECT 😇 THANK U 🤘🏻🤗💓✝️💜💜🤘🏻🤘🏻
Was good. No one can match Tate, but this dude did pretty damn good. Congrats
Nice cover guys 👍
That isn't easy to sing in such a range from low to high. Great job.
Boy he can sing!! Your sound is so good and diverse. Love this 💕
It sounds like Geoff Tate if he were in the Crash Test Dummies
This is totally spot on. I was expecting a mess, but didn't get it.
why would you expect a mess? QR proved years ago that it was Tate that made the 2000s albums suck when they axed him and got Todd to become the singer, now they're every bit as good as they were in the 80s and 90s
Michael Wilton plays it wrong every damn guitar bends at the end o the solo.....
I really wish the remaining original members of Queensryche had taken the Creed/Alter Bridge route and just changed their name and started over. Queensryche without Tate, DeGarmo, and Rockenfield is just not Queensryche anymore.
Finally someone with some sense and doesn’t fall for a clone. Much respect to you for seeing things clearly.
100% agree
Agree, especially as the individuals, who carry the 'Queensryche sound' are no longer in the band.
@@Lnps123 Sad days
I never would have known.... Sounds the same to me .... /shrug
thank you for keeping it in the original key...
His voice, though different from Geoffs, has depth, timbre, emotion.
Great covers band

The years have not been kind !
Even if Todd is having a bad night vocally, he's still awesome
Really liked this version. The singer nailed it. Great performance. 💪👌🤘♥️👏
Geof Tate as a front man has more energy not as much as Bruce Dickinson but more than this guy.
I was very skeptical of Mr. la Torre at the beginning of this video, I'm a Geoff Tate fan all the way, but i cannot sit here and say that i didn't enjoy this version just as much as the original, he brings his own feeling and emotion to this and i am now a fan, he may not be Tate, but that's okay, he fills his own niche
This version brings me right back to 91/92 when I was a senior in HS, and all the memories and emotions
Sooo amazing...sooo beautiful...soooo humble... coming from all great musicians!!! MY favorite version...by far!!!! Thank YOU Queensryche~~~~
Not even close.
Damn good cover.Geoff, however is an impossible act to follow though ; he;s still getting it done !
Yes he is Allison I saw them twice the first time I got to shake his hand both times was when he had hair & it was just all original members of the band & the second time I saw them was when he had his daughter with him to sing that duo ( Coming Home ),off of that cd dedicated to the troops overseas The American Soldier tour back in 2009

Oh WoW Todd sounds amazing.
I know right awesome guy
I got to meet him he is a cool guy
Wow Great live Performance just seen this in October 2021 thank you
Cant beat the 1991 show on MTV. Not even close. Queensryche is dead
geoff and this guy is like comparing rembrandt van rijn vs. color by numbers.
That's your opinion. Todd did a superb job at this song
I'm pleasantly surprised by Tod's vocals. I've seen Geoff twice & was expecting a subpar performance.
Vibe is different without Chris, but all in all, really good performance.
Without Geoff, Chris and Scott it will never be
Queensryche
Exactly

What are you talking about Todd is awesome
Todd doesn't sound similar to Geoff, but he sounds awesome anyway..
@@KilroyWasHere83 about right
Speaking of Journey, Arnell > Steve.
I like Todd, he's a good singer

Spot on!!! Todd and the boys are killing it.
Following in Tate's footsteps, that is a tough job. He seems up to the task.
Almost. But when I really listen then Geoff sounds like an angel singing from another dimension!
❤😊
Awesome any dudes or girls who rip Todd Latorre in these comments are total trolls if I have to read one more troll comments like He sucks or He is not Geoff or sounds like Crash Test Dummies I will puke He does a total excellent and professional job and seems like a nice dude to boot
Michael Yatsco He’s not Tate. Go puke. And it’s easy to piggyback off of someone else’s blood sweat and tears.
Cover band 101. They are all off.
The band made great albums in the past but their latest 3 albums with Todd are really great recordings and the sound is awesome. Queensryche has continued making great music and are still a force to be reckoned with. Super band!
I personally think the Verdict ranks right up there with the Warning and Mindcrime as the bands finest recordings
Damn amazing.
Queensryche without Geoff Tate and Chris DeGarmo is like Aerosmith without Steven Tyler and Joe Perry, or the Rolling Stones without Mick Jagger and Keith Richards.
So true...They are nothing but a cover band.
LOL, everything WITH tate after the first Mindcrime was absolute CRAP. Todd has brought the original sound and feeling back to the band!
@@theaxis2000 Empire/Promised Land > any Todd's album.
That guy is an awesome singer and it would be more awesome if he sang for another band , there is no other voice for Queensryche but Geoff Tate .
He cant write or start his own band or why jump in a tribute band at his age.
@@MrBen575 I believe exactly the same .

Great song. Such a hard vocal song. Todd he nailed it.
Saw this on Friday, it was great!
Would you take it as a compliment if someone told you that you sound like Geoff Tate? I would.

Disculpen, pero eso no es Queensryche, eso es una mala copia 🤷♂️
Great performance from Todd.
Aaaahhh que genial 😭😭😭😭😭
Why is the son of HellBoy singing? He is just ok and its hard for him to reach high notes, nothing comparable with the original singer. Good try
Comparable to what? 1989? Because compared to 2020 this dude is better
Is that Izzy Cole ?
Not bad for a cover band
Get over it, geoff cant sing anymore
Pedro Barajas who said anything about Geoff. I said it wasn’t bad but I think he did a nice job with it. He didn’t write it or record it so essentially he is covering it. Not a big deal.
So let’s let the guy who spits on people, disses his fans not to mention runs the band into the ground around?

Like the new guy, but i sure miss Chris DeGarmo's sound.
Same.
Where's Geoff T? This guy is a butcher.
