Ehh. Yes, there is only one singer that sounds like him but I’d say Rob Halford has him beat by a mile. Geoff will go down in history as one of the best but not the best. No one screams like Halford. Not even Dickinson.
I Love Geoff Tate! My greatest concert was in Houston 1991. I got to meet him a few years later. And have a picture with him. His Concerts were theatrical and the Best! I was fortunate to see QueensRyche live 5 times.
Ok honestly I’ve been really critical of Geoff Tate over they last few years but if he sticks with the acoustic band it actually gels better with the way his voice aged
Todd can hit all the notes of the classic era of Queensryche, AND with each new album continues to write interesting and relevant music. All Geoff can do is be a cover band.
Your a living legend Geoff! It's because of your AMAZING VOICE IS WHY "QUEENSRYCHE" became Legends!! THERE IS NO QUEENSRYCHE WITHOUT YOU !! Nobody will ever fill your shoes!!
I saw them open for Kiss in 84 on the Warning, 88 with Metallica on Mind eine and in this last year one seen Geoff twice perform Rage and Empire in it's entirety, something the original band never did before . Do yourself a favor and go if you can!
@@nicholaspeppas945 No 60 year old can sing as they did in their 20s. Hell, even RJD's (a freak of nature) voice deepened somewhat with age. Tbh his voice hasn't changed all that much since he was around 35 and that's roughly where the male voice peaks.
Luis Hernandez No, I agree with you. To my ears Tate is sounding better than he has in years. I think he must've gone back to the basics and started doing vocal workouts again. He also seems like he's genuinely enjoying himself for the first time in a long time and just being real on stage. It's inspiring to see.
I'm thinking if he "amped it up" ,he might still be able to bring back some stuff like we used to hear from him. Then again sometimes age does catch up. Biggest thing is don't give up.
Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh, *no!!* Tate *CAN'T RELEASE ANY* (even live) Queensryche songs *EXCEPT* Mindcrime I & II songs. Blame Tate. He filed a lawsuit against Queensryche. That was agreed upon by all parties. Since no one brought his 3 album set from his MindCrime Band, he is stuck just being a singer in a Queensryche cover band. Unless Tate starts writing songs that people want to buy. Which is doubtful.
Not to bash Geoff Tate. Really i don't want to. His music has made such an impression to last me 10 lifetimes. I even like how has made this arrangment. And the band also performs to perfection. BUT, don't you think he has made this arrangment because his voice is just a shadow of how it used to be. And he has to refer to these kinda arrangments to reach the level he used to have with no problems at all? When i listen to Walk in the shadows, i want that power in his voice, those freaking high notes and that energie. I'm sorry, but for me this isn't all that great.
Sure we can read and since you'[re getting a little abrupt I will also. We''re just trying to get some common sense to sink in which you obviously lack or you wouldn't have made the post, as said earlier there isn't a single human being able to sing with the same power and range as he did 40ish years earlier. That fact should even hold more true for GT considering what he'[s put his voice through during the last 40ish years so the effects of father time should have effected hm more than the average person. When you hear what he is still capable of at 60ish it's phenomenal but to expect it to compare to what he could do 40ish years ago is silly.
strtngfrsh ok ok ok. You and the others still think i'm trying to bash Geoff Tate. There isn't anything i can say or do to change that fact. So what was so bad that i wrote? I believe i wrote that i loved his voice so freaking much to last me 10 lifetimes. And that i even like what he has done with the arrangement of this song. The only thing that TO ME PERSONNALY isn't that great is that he has to make these arrangements for his voice to carry the load of the song. And yes he has put his voice through much abuse, and yes he is aging. But that's just my point. I like what he does. But i don't like that he has to do it. But just for the people with so called common sence. I'm not a Tate hater.
Geoff has been the man from the inception of Queensryche. Without his voice and lyrical mastery there never would of been a band. The back stabbers Michael, Scott, and Eddie would of had to get real job's with zero hope to make it in rock n roll. They owe Geoff their everything and yet turned out to be jealous little prick's.
For being almost 70, he sounds pretty damn good. How are Steve Perry, Robert Plant, and Geddy Lee sounding these days compared to their old selves?Compared to Geoff Tate, like total shit.
Arkturas Powers Are you sure it is me? I don’t remember demonstrating my disappointment with Geoff Tate more than a couple of times (I do not consider that “multiple times”) I used to think Tate was one of the best if not the best metal singer.
This song was never meant to be played acoustically. May the gods of metal have mercy on your soul, Geoff Tate. Shame on you! We all died a little today.😞
age. time. these are two powerful forces that wait for nobody. Mr Tate had a voice that i measured all others with. there were many screamers and note holders, but nobody had the scale and range of this man at the time. Nobody. Transitions alone were mindboggling. and the ease at which they were done? i just shudder.... but a little latitude musr be given to Mr. Tate. first, because we all know what we had with him. absolute greatness. years and years of music that got us through years and years of life. thank you is what comes to my mind. not any bashing. c'mon! Geoff deserves none of it. and i bet, if "plugged in", he'd still bring the house down. and 2ndly, he doesnt wear wig. no cosmetic surgery. not trying to be 25. he's keeping it real my friend. and i will appreciate that all day long. Geoff can still blow and if his new band Mindcrime comes around, i 'm in the crowd for sure. alwayz be a fan.
Chris Hipwell I’ve seen Geoff take the stage with Queensryche 11 times, so no lecture necessary. His voice is my favorite of all time, but don’t expect me to enjoy watching the Blue Angels if they decide to bastardize their craft by doing stunts in gliders. These songs were meant to rock and it’s pathetic to watch such a powerful voice tour around with a guy playing drums on a box. Whip and the boys are laughing at Jeff’s new monkey show. Next up: Tony Iommi playing Iron Man on the ukulele...
i get it. your a true fan. of the original band, who could rip it up. i miss it too. but, that band has moved on. sadly. and Geoff still wants to perform at any level he can, ya know? is this an optimal setting for us to see him in, not really.....but what else could he do? maybe call up Don Dokken and some other bands and have a mini Lalapaloosa tour? :0)
Chris Hipwell It has nothing to do with the original band. I would see Geoff perform these songs in a heartbeat if they were given the honor they deserve rather than being bastardized by the “Lumineers”. Plug in and rock or go home.
Oh I love it! I love Geoff Tate 🥰💕😘💋
I love Geoff's voice....❤️
What an awesome musician.. His phrasing with his vocals are just incredible .
I was there that night! It was like a Time Warp. Enjoyed every minute. I will never forget that night. GEOFF TATE is awesome! My favorite of all time
Nobody has a voice like Geoff Tate. Many try to imitate, unsuccessfully tho. Geoff Tate is the real deal! 💝
He is without a doubt one of the best vocalists ever, if not the best.
Ehh. Yes, there is only one singer that sounds like him but I’d say Rob Halford has him beat by a mile. Geoff will go down in history as one of the best but not the best. No one screams like Halford. Not even Dickinson.
Michael Kiske still has an astounding voice. Check Unisonic.
Tracey Ryche White sure there is his names Todd La Torre
Yeah...about that. You should listen to Queensryche with Todd. He blows Tate out of the water.
I Love Geoff Tate! My greatest concert was in Houston 1991. I got to meet him a few years later. And have a picture with him. His Concerts were theatrical and the Best! I was fortunate to see QueensRyche live 5 times.
Great remix. Remember back to the 90's singing this at work.
Killer, beautiful arrangement, marvelous musicians, and Geoff is in top form and sounding awesome!
Ok honestly I’ve been really critical of Geoff Tate over they last few years but if he sticks with the acoustic band it actually gels better with the way his voice aged
Mr.Scary90 Yep!! Agree!!
Agreed completely.
Honestly, I agree. Acoustics don’t require the same voice
This was just Geoff doing an experiment, he's got a new band and his voice has never left him!
If he got in shape he would have great potential for a acoustic band
one of the best vocalists of his time imho.
Classy. The maestro still has it.
Best singer of all time. I refuse to go see queensryche without you as the front man. You made the band!!!!
That's a big mistake. Todd is amazing.
He's no Geoff Tate.
@@jeffreyschallenberg5535 right. Because he's better...
Todd can hit all the notes of the classic era of Queensryche, AND with each new album continues to write interesting and relevant music. All Geoff can do is be a cover band.
Schallenberg - Even Geoff Tate is no Geoff Tate of old.
Beautiful acoustic version of the original, it even brings it more depth and transcendence.
Fine Wine. This song aged so well. Difficult to say which version I prefer.
that was really cool...thanks for sharing!
Your a living legend Geoff! It's because of your AMAZING VOICE IS WHY "QUEENSRYCHE" became Legends!! THERE IS NO QUEENSRYCHE WITHOUT YOU !! Nobody will ever fill your shoes!!
Beautiful. Nothing more, nothing less.
Guy running sound mangled that perfect voice
Great song! I love this new version, it hss alot of soul ! 👏
Great arrangement and performance - surprised.
Geoff Tate's poetry slam
Ever since Queen of the Reich...love that voice!!!!...😎🤙🤘🤘🤘
woe.... Professor Tate !!!
This is awesome! Original Queensryche were the best! I have all their CDs yup
Love this version...
I love this version
This is the best walk in the shadows cover on youtube.
I saw Queensryche three times. Rage for Order, L'Amour's Brooklyn. Meadowlands opening for Def Leppard. Operation Mindcrime. I miss those days!
I saw them open for Kiss in 84 on the Warning, 88 with Metallica on Mind eine and in this last year one seen Geoff twice perform Rage and Empire in it's entirety, something the original band never did before . Do yourself a favor and go if you can!
There's only one Geoff Tate.
Yeah....and this ain't him.
If you're talking about him not being able to sing as he once did, yeah sure, but if you're talking in terms of that's not him, that's him for sure..
Still has a great voice..
@@nicholaspeppas945 No 60 year old can sing as they did in their 20s. Hell, even RJD's (a freak of nature) voice deepened somewhat with age. Tbh his voice hasn't changed all that much since he was around 35 and that's roughly where the male voice peaks.
God i remember seeing queensryche at lamours a few times in the early 80s and geoff was absolutely untouchable .
Geoff Tate may have lost his mind , but this sounds great! 👍
Fred Lewis lol can't disagree with any part of this
why did Geoff lose his mind? or I guess I'm asking.. how? lol 🤔
So fuckin cool performance, great arrangement of this great musicans!!!
Geoff Tate y Tom Mallicoat los dos cantantes mas increibles del metal de todos los tiempos
The pitch is all there. still love his vocals
Great. Now I have to repurchase all of my Queensrÿche on vinyl thanks to Hipster Tate.
Man, I am so glad i got to see him in his Prime.
Is it me but does he sound better without the electric.
Luis Hernandez No, I agree with you. To my ears Tate is sounding better than he has in years. I think he must've gone back to the basics and started doing vocal workouts again. He also seems like he's genuinely enjoying himself for the first time in a long time and just being real on stage. It's inspiring to see.
CHRIST is my Shepherd and salvation
Right!
And pink sunglasses,too.
He is trolling us.
Better than the live rock
Performance?
Hahaha!!
Yes, it's just you!
Luis Hernandez I agree he needs to stick with the all acoustic band
It’s just you
We love you Geoff!!!!!!
Hes got a very distinctive voice. Not easy to forget. It's too bad he's not with queensryche. This is one of my favorites. Haven't heard it in years
Holy shit...I know I got old when Geoff Tate started looking like Bobcat Goldwaith...instead of the rock God he once was.
I'm thinking more Lawrence Fishburn?
More like Jamie Hyneman from the old TV show *Mythbusters.*
Guess Geoff Tate blew up a metal rock group. And his career. Now playing in a cover band.
So concerned with a mans appearance may make you a 🦄
Really
STUNNING!!!! You sound BETTER THAN EVER Geoff, and Killer band!!
Always the best!
Sounds great!!👍
Damn!
alt ist er geworden ,aber seine stimme ist GENIAL wie eh und je !!
Queensryche :the best metal band
Geoff Tate is Queensryche
Genioooooo
The Best !!
I told u! The man sounds just like he did in the 80s! Amazing
you need a hearing aid.
I'm thinking if he "amped it up" ,he might still be able to bring back some stuff like we used to hear from him. Then again sometimes age does catch up. Biggest thing is don't give up.
GEOFF TATE ❤ QUEENSRYCHE, único e insubstituível...
De onde ele tira essa voz 😎
What State was this concert in?
Awesome!
Does anyone know if they made a CD out of this? This is awesome!
Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh, *no!!*
Tate *CAN'T RELEASE ANY* (even live) Queensryche songs *EXCEPT* Mindcrime I & II songs. Blame Tate. He filed a lawsuit against Queensryche. That was agreed upon by all parties. Since no one brought his 3 album set from his MindCrime Band, he is stuck just being a singer in a Queensryche cover band. Unless Tate starts writing songs that people want to buy. Which is doubtful.
Not bad, but i prefer the electric guitars on this
That dude from Myth Busters can sing!
Not to bash Geoff Tate. Really i don't want to. His music has made such an impression to last me 10 lifetimes. I even like how has made this arrangment. And the band also performs to perfection.

I'm sorry, but for me this isn't all that great.
René Denkers Sorry but it's called ageing not a lot he can do about that.
That's the point i'm trying to make Minners71.
Uli Jon Scorps again my point excactly. Djeez can't you people read?

Geoff looks like a white Lawrence Fishburne
i wish the real Queensryche would get back together soon, before Geoff Tate starts wearing white golf pants
Fuck him. Queensryche is doing just fine. Saw them a month ago and it was incredible.
Geoff has been the man from the inception of Queensryche. Without his voice and lyrical mastery there never would of been a band. The back stabbers Michael, Scott, and Eddie would of had to get real job's with zero hope to make it in rock n roll. They owe Geoff their everything and yet turned out to be jealous little prick's.
I've seen Queensryche in major venues... awesome! Now Geoff is beating a dead horse with a crappy little band. Time to retire, bro.
I couldnt handle watching, does he spit on the bongo dude?
come hit those notes geoff, what wrong?
The white Lawrence Fishburne
Unplugged shit
Not bad.
Vest.
His voice isn't as strong as it used to be.
For being almost 70, he sounds pretty damn good. How are Steve Perry, Robert Plant, and Geddy Lee sounding these days compared to their old selves?Compared to Geoff Tate, like total shit.
ah, the Lord giveth, and the Lord taketh away...
Voice is shot
Not hitting the notes. Not even close. Very sad.
Besides, the song is being played 1/2 step lower then the original recording.
I've noticed you pointing this out on multiple videos, does it get tiring parotting yourself? Do you have a hobby, or is this what you do all day?
Arkturas Powers
Are you sure it is me?
I don’t remember demonstrating my disappointment with Geoff Tate more than a couple of times (I do not consider that “multiple times”)
I used to think Tate was one of the best if not the best metal singer.
Dude really? Stop it!! This is ridiculous!!
What??????
Truly a Magical voice only one like this
This song was never meant to be played acoustically. May the gods of metal have mercy on your soul, Geoff Tate. Shame on you! We all died a little today.😞
Sad opinion by a sad shell of a man.

Yes but still amazing
What a mess
awfull!
Poor fool
Nope.
