We met Todd at a Kamelot concert in St. Pete, Florida years ago, he had just started singing with QR, I knew him from his Crimson Glory days only. He literally stood outside with us for an hour and a half talking rock, people didn't recognise him much back there so it was easier. At some point he asked us "Do you want to go say hi to the Kamelot guys before the show? I know them well" We were like "Hell yeah" went in, he got me a Casey Grillo signed drumstick and spent sometime with the guys. Then is showtime and Todd stayed with us through the whole show, gave us a hug after and left. What a class dude.
Yea I run into him at Publix now and then. Great guy.
Yeah. You would be lucky to get a hello out of Geoff.
Such a nice guy, I also met him in Berlin some years ago, a metalhead just like you and me.
This is not Geoff Tate, but I have mad respect for Todd. Absolutely tremendous effort in this song!
I just waited if Geoff was there. Not.
Why are you telling us it's not Tate? Anyone with eyes can see, CRINGE comment
@jaredfoglesuperstar Some people have never heard Queensryche before. They don't know who is who unless they do research. Anyways, thanks for taking your time to.comment on my comment!!
@@FiveDORRA Because he is mistaken, it is actually Tate, technology , welcome in 2024
He's an absolutely terrible human being. I've seen him verbally assault fans for even suggesting that they miss the original lineup and prefer Tates' voice. This has made him the only person I've blocked on FB.
I grew up in a great time... the '80s.
Great song, miss Tate.
GaRoger's Customs me too, Queensryche at the top of there game👍
@KEN5423 have you found any newer bands to enjoy these days? I take it you were(are) a Pantera fan. I clung to Pantera in the 90s because Lars and Bob Rock were ruining Metallica. Played a lot of drums, made a little music with my guitar-playing brother but could never find a decent vocalist. Of today's music I have thought that Volbeat has stood apart from the cookie-cutter herd as far as vocals go. Difficult to find a hardcore metal band standing on its own, either trying to play like a machine gun, snort like a pig, play a goth church organ sounding like something satanic doing a soundtrack for Star Wars, or do the multi-vocal scream/emo shit. Avenged 7X when the Rev was alive sounded good......
@@rogersanderscustoms8121 Check out Unleash the Archers
Me too :D Got 100% of 80's :D
Todd's got some amazing pipes! How he want from a siren scream to a death metal growl in the beginning -- that was just way cool!
Quite possibly one of the greatest drummers ever
are you stoned?
Rockenfield is one of the best rock drummers live and composition
He was a badass in the day
He’s the only original band member that sounds good, the rest of it is shit , pure shit.
Scott has disappeared off of the face of the earth here of late but I do agree he's a great drummer
We need a live album with Todd!!
Todd does a great job he also adds his own style I'm impressed...!!🤟🤟
The the problem with bands with such iconic singers is that no matter how good the new dude is its just not the same!
Since it doesn't come from the soul ......
Saw Queensryche back in the 80's and 90's and I mean no disrespect but, This is not Queensryche......
Even if you can hit the same notes, the tone isn't the same.
AMEN TO THAT! GEOFF IS SOOOO MUCH BETTER AND WITH FEELING!
@@renejr66 Technically, it is Queensryche, they were just A LOT better back then, lol.
This is Queensrook! At I saw them 5 times original line up on rage for order & mindcrime tours ...
Scott Rockenfield is freakin JAMMIN in the back! What a beast🤘
Yeah he is missed in the new music. He has a one of a kind style that was the core of this band.
Sucks
@@ST-cy6we One of a kind style indeed, those drums talk !!!~
Scott is the one of the most underrated drummers that has ever played. Nobody is more tight.
Love Geoff and love Todd both awesome singers…
Since watching this video a few days ago I just can't help myself for coming back to watch it again! This is my 1st time seeing and hearing of this band. The song is also an earworm now, I just can't stop thinking of it.
I am duly impressed. Don't accept any negative comment. This was Herculean
Major props to Todd La Torre ... nobody can match the power and clarity of Geoff in his prime, obviously, but Todd is a killer replacement
My first QR song i ever heard on TV in ~1984. After this song, i bought all their albums since.
Still love hearing this one live.
Rock on dudes. Todd is a beast! Grew up with this group in the 80's. Best decade of music ever!
How can anyone equal Geoff Tate? At least Todd is really the only singer that can at least hang a bit.
Glad i saw them do 'Mindcrime' start to finish with the originals back in the day!
todd is great in this one, i can't understand the negative comments. this is a very hard song. geoff refused to sing this one for many years.
Tate is/was weak. He happened upon a great project to ride to the top and then rested on his laurels once he got there. He stopped progressing. Heck, he stopped *maintaining*...
@@TheWitchOvAgnesi... Tate is / was weak??? What a stupid ass comment.. You need to "listen" to Geoff Tate.. EMPIRE album back, before saying shit like that...
Geoff Tate is one of the best singers ever... Ever!
@@rhoadsmatheson2246 @SpikeFlea come on, i get the hate on Geoff Tate because of his ego and antipathetic behaviors but saying that he stopped progressing is not true. On the contrary, he always pushed the envelope for Queensryche, doing different stuff, going against the tide, putting different instruments and styles to the Queensryche music. He played saxophone on some tours etc. So kudos for that.
@@TheWitchOvAgnesi without Tate and Chris it sux.
Really, I saw these guys with original lineup during Promise Land tour many years ago mid 1990s They played this entire album and Operation MindCrime. Reason for long set time. These guys gave Type O Negative support band played before them the Boot cut their set short. Small, band like Type O they did sound great Queensryche didnt want to be shown up.
Pete Steeles, handed front row fan a few grand money from that show. There's articles short video Pete Steele walking of stage with brieface.
This young guy just saved Queensryche!
Yes I agree, but nevertheless it's sounds like a lure to me. A feeling I can't avoid.
He's not that young really. 46.
And he can play an entire show while singing on the drums of this material! Love Geoff and always will.
@@markbouquet1316 This is Todd Latorre, not Geoff.
Are you kidding me. He doesn't make a pimple on tate's ass.
I wore out this cassettte in the 80's! Miss Geoff Tate tho.
Todd es un gran vocalista, se adaptó de la mejor manera a Queensryche y era eso lo que la banda necesitaba.
That is impressive! Takes me back to the good times. 🤘🏽🎸
Wackens sound system is fucking amazing sounding for outdoors the BEST and Queensryche is killing it and that drummer is fucking badass🤘😈🤘
2:49 I don't know how people can't accept Todd after this.
I'd say the reason is two-fold. First, two of arguably the most integral members are no longer with the band. Second, Todd comes off as an impersonator, rather than original. Not everyone is into that. Boston and Journey did the same thing and lost a lot of people because of it. Todd is a great singer, just wish he found his own way rather than being in a cover band.
They just mad because Todd sounds better than Tate for as long as they can remember. Don’t get me wrong, I have huge respect for what Tate did back in the day, he was a phenomenal vocalist.
@@jarnolehtinen2269
Couldn't agree more..
Because he is a head voice falsetto Geoff Tate wanna be! Tate had gobs of vocal power from down deep with great and proper technique and diaphragmatic support. A true power vocalist. Thus guy is not that, unless he's going down deep to do some death metal roar that makes no sense whatsoever in a Queensryche song! That's why! 😎🤘
Because he's a jerk who assaults fans on FB for even suggesting Tate was a better singer in his day... so basically anyone with ears. He's the only person I have blocked on FB for being a terrible human being.
I’m totally fine with Todd singing in Queenstyche. He does a hell of a job and he’s always cool in his interviews. I miss degarmo though but Eddie and Scott are still there. The backbone of the band and the unsung heroes. Rock on.
Loving the new singer and their new album is badass
much love to todd, and all the band too!
DAMN!!! They did it in standard tuning too!
pensnut08 you can get insanely heavy stuff In E standard tuning, just look at obituary’s slowly we rot, Atheist’s Peice of time and unquestionable presence also Pestilence Testimony of the ancients
I think the comment is directed more at how impressive the vocals are since they didn’t down tune; not that it isn’t heavy.
Is one of the best singers
Metal is Forever
Love Queensryche! I first got their EP with 'Queen Of The Reich' while a student at Seton Hall back in the early 80's, after hearing the song on WSOU, Seton Hall's FM college station. Then 'The Warning' came out and all hell broke loose... my god... it was nothing like we'd heard before! That same year, I was lucky to catch Queensryche playing the famous Brooklyn, NY rock club called L'Amour, and they were beyond incredible! Personnel changes aside, of course the old Queensryche with Tate and DeGarmo was much better than the current incarnation, but I have to give LaTorre credit, as he is a damn good vocalist in his own reich (get it... ha ha)! Long live QR!
I was there !!!
The girls if they were living in the neighborhood called it La Maws
@@anthonysaponaro6318 "La Maws"... LOL! I can hear the accent/inflection even now! Some thought it was a 'sexy' accent, LOL.
This is not Queensryche. Sorry. It's a cover band using the name.
I am from Bloomfield few towns over from Seton Hall and listened to SOU back then and still do today. Queensryche was my first concert back in 88 opening for Def Leppard in Brendan Byrne arena back them. Still remember it to this day. ❤👏🙌🤘🏻
@@colettelutter7954 Nice! Great to hear from others that 'were there', during this great era of rock! I was at that show with QR and Leppard as well. We had a ton of fun then! I can remember my attitude about college was study hard and party hard too! My roomate was going out with this girl from the dorm next door at SHU, and she had a roommate who just transferred there. Her roommate wanted to 'meet a guy', so she introduced me to her.... long story short, we both dated these great ladies for about 2 years while we were students at SHU. We simply 'switched rooms', so our girlfriends lived with us, unbeknownst to the authorities there! You see, the dorms were not unisex.... there were separate men's dorms and female dorms, so we broke the rules LOL! And we had the best 'metal parties' on weekends as well with 'keggers' in the shower stalls! Seton Hall was transformed into 'pleasure palace' for us, with great music to boot! Man, I would give anything to return to those days!
Great vocals great band
Todd sounds crazy good. Plus the drum meter is ticked up, and the best live percussion performance ever.
Pretty good..but I miss Geoff and Chris alot!!
Todd la Torre is better than Geoff tate
Agree. Without Geoff and Chris, it's not the same
@@antlereddruid8359 You got to be kidding.
@@antlereddruid8359
The vocals are just not there compared to the 80s and the guitar work is good but bless their heart it is just not like 1984 this pales in comparison.
@@calebproductions5970 after listening to a lot of 80s queensryche I agree with you but as of rn, Todd is better than Geoff is (Geoff still isn't bad but in this point in time,Todd is better)
amazing vocal perfomance, this songis sohard, respect
Brings back memories from the good ole days!
Great to hear Queensryche actually play this song!! Todd kicks ass during this song.
Speechless he hit every note and showed a lot of energy. Dude can sing.
lol
If you think he's good you should have seen the first guy they had.......
Off key, screaming and gurgling. I think he should go to a death metal band instead
This is amazing!
Impressive! Better than i expected. Great job Todd.
I haven't listened to any Queensryche material since Geoff left. That being said, it's fun to hear the song live, even if not Geoff... But of course I will always favor Geoff's voice. It's so distinct and iconic for Queensryche. But this guy did a great job, regardless!
This is not Queensryche. Sorry. It's a cover band using the name.
This is fucking fantastic! This was always my favorite Queensryche song and Todd La Torre sounds excellent.
Awesome job.. great vocalist!
Todd does a great job he is a good vocalist..!!🤟🤟🤟
Actually, brilliant vocals there well done.
Great singer, nails it. First saw the ryche supporting Dio in the 80’s.
Yes
yes!!!!! NAILD it UP RIGHT!!!!!!!! the ryche!!
I saw them back dio in Birmingham ocean 1984. They were the worst supported support band I have ever seen. Not a soul cheered them. I just remember GTs white jacket and beuffonted hair
Me too
Came for Dio, was blown away by QR
Todd's great, keep it up!!
Wow, sounds perfect!
La torre is awesome
I love how Todd wears his sunglasses at all times except for when he’s actually outside in the day time haha. Also, like that little growl in the beginning. Nothing but love for the new QR!
Kareochyryche...
Timeless classic to have a good start into the New Year, and eagerly waiting for "The Verdict", due out on March 1st...
wow, you can say what you want this dude has serious pipes!
Love Todd's voice. Saw them last year in a small venue and they slayed it.
que pancada no peito é essa musica " Old School " ..Todd la Torre não deixa nada a desejar , canta muito !!!! sensacional
This kicks ass!!!!!
I was a founding member of the fan club, I remember some of these guys as bag boys at the old local grocery store. I remember when Geoff was NEW to the band after he left MYTH. JEEZ those were good times
Sounds great!
I saw Geoff Tate a few months ago. His voice is totally shot now. This guy is very, very good. The last time I saw Geoff sing Queen of the Reich that good was on the Warning tour. So there you go.
I saw Tate sing it on the Mindcrime tour when they opened for Metallica. He nailed it hard but La Torre can do a good representation of that song that Tate simply cannot do anymore. No hate, no malice, I wish each camp the best and hope they are all happy in the end. I would like to see DeGarmo back in the Ryche. I am not a huge fan of Parker Lundgren's live sound and I think Wilton needs DeGarmo to complement his style.
It’s called getting old let’s not forget the insane parties
@@wickedcrypto6004 I Kno people act like he just woke up one day and decided "hey I feel like singing like I'm well past my prime" it happens to singers, musicians, athletes, etc father times a bitch
You must not watch a lot of Queensryche. Tate sung the song well into the 2000's.
@@adameves5970 HATS OF TO HIM He is good. bud I wish the whole band could get along at least for the fans.
I'm actually not missing Tate here. The vocals are awesome.
Id get that checked. Doctors can do a lot for that condition.
As in Tate doesn't sound as good these days as before.@@jamesconkey1480
He has a lot of stage presence and charisma, too. A natural performer. Really well done.
Hahaha you must like sub par vocals.
Awesome singer !
The music lives on
He actually hit that high wow!!!
He got damn close, earned my thumbs up
And damn low too
he sounds as bad as axl
Not exactly ,but he gave it everything he had !
He knew it was about to break down that is why he didn't finish, Geoff always finished
Not even a single note is missed!!! Excelent Todd s performance.Respect.A different style of singing than Tate s ,but awesome too.
Great JOB !
Saw these guys back in 2014 there amazing
Todd is amazing. I love his singing on Queen of the Reich!!!!!!!!
Damn that was good.
first time I ear this song was in 198
6, still great!
great job boys!!!!!!
One of the best singers of Metal despite being hated by many assholess \m/
I wonder if this video was edited. Todd sounds nearly flawless on this...WOW!
He’s that good...no sleazy cabaret antics, theatrics, or putting the mic to the crowd because he can’t hit those notes
Awesome Todd Latorre
Awesome.
Chingon. Feliz nanvidad. Rockeros.
Losing DeGarmo hurt QR much more than losing Tate did.
Couldn't agree more. The band really took a down turn on the post-DeGarmo stuff.
Chris DeGarmo is easily top 5 underrated guitarists in my book.
the last album with DeGarmo wasn't good at all though. Promised Land is the last QR album I go back to.
Agreed!!!
Both. They were unlistenable when Chris left and worse then ever with this silly sound alike.
Great cover for vocals !
This is my second comment on this video, I have to say that this guy sounds just like Geoff did on the albumn. I doubt that Geoff could even sound like this anymore.
Well, of course Geoff wouldn't sound the same after so many years. This new guy sounds good, but Geoff WAS awesome.
I love how beat up Wilton's ESP is.
When Tate was hitting all these notes he was 25 years old! Todd is 50 years old still singing this stuff. Great singer
Todd played drums most of his career and only recently started singing. He's Barely 40 in this video. Geoff understands nuance in a song, Todd does not. He's good, not great.
Scott Mallett - Agreed
I thought he was in his 30s WoW..I still got it.. I'm 54..
Rockstar 15 he’s like 45 now lol
@@ylandonn3282 46 now. Todd's bday is in February
You were awesome
And to think I got my selfie w/La Torre under the awning of the Montego in a blinding snowstorm the morning after the concert @ the Peppermill Concert Hall! Who'd a thunk it?!!!
Say what you will, but this guy sounds like the original to me. I'm impressed.
Eric Thompson he sure does!
Hey, for having no echo machines or voice-over equipment to aid in Todd LaTorre's singing, I think he belted out this number pretty damn good. Noone can match a Geoff Tate or say, a Robert Halford (Judas Priest) but there are a few who can give adaquate justice to songs that are almost impossible to sing by any conventional singer. It's that or never hear these classic, heavy metal songs done live again. I myself, love to go back to the 80's when I grew up, & hear these masterpieces played live and always will. So who gives a f@*k who's singing. As long as they can do justice to the song, I say "Bring it on, really really LOUD and LIVE" \m/
He won't last long at this elevated level. He is performing on a king diamond/merciful fate level and there's maybe 5 singers in the world that can do it. And only for a short period of time.
I am coming here listening and seeing a Queensryche that is very different than I had seen when they had first made it in the 80's. BUT, I must say IF NOT for seeing this on VIDEO, I'd have NO IDEA that this is anything BUT the original lineup. In other words this new lineup has totally done great.
I’m glad to be old enough to have seen original QUEENSRYCHE doing this. This version are a good cover band, I’ll give them that.
I used to see these guys in the bars in seattle and spent time with some of them. You can't replace Jeff, it's just not the same.
@@petea5219 some say Geoff cant even hit these notes today
Geoff is a shadow of his formerself now, even worse than a cover singer.
This guy actually does incredibly well. All you haters...you couldn’t sing like that even on your best shower singing days.
Attila M Yeah, I tried singing like this in college. I have to admit now that it didn’t turn out well. ;-)
Exactly you called him "this guy" Nice imitation - not the real thing. Geoff Tate is Boss.
That's why we are not in a cover band🤣🤣🤣
I am also not a paid professional like this guy
You dont have to be a great singer to not like how someone sings.
That just sounded retarded.
I dont paint, but I know Rockwell was great.
I'm not a comic, but know Dice Clay was great.
fantastic.........
🤘🏻fantastic band and a great new singer🤘🏻
Amazing voice. Really well done, especially live.
\m/ super band Queensryche \m/
Going tonight- with Fates Warning!! Psyched!!
Todd rocks it!
This guy on vocals is pretty good !...Geoff Tate the Man...
That's not Geoff Tate, it's Todd La Torre.
Geoff hasn’t made a good album in a long time. It feels weird to say but queensryche sounds better off without him.
j2times2006 his newest one sweet oblivion is great. Best he’s done since American soldier
@Jim Leask MORON..THE GUY IS GOOD..GEOFF IS THE MANNNNNN!!!!!!
@@adinadamian5634 he's not saying that's goeff Tate. He's acknowledging how good this guy is but saying goeff Tate is still the man.
vocal loco demais ; isso é musica !!!!!
Nailed it👍
Our boy from St Pete Fl also drummed on the last record. Todd is an alien. Casey Grillo another monster drumming for them full time now player from Fl..... Love it
Loving the growl at the beginning
Damn, incredible range. Audibly not Geoff, but guy sounds pretty close. Amazing power. I'd go see them.
Not even close! Sounds like Karaoke compared to Tate in his prime! th-cam.com/video/YklSwADBOkg/w-d-xo.html
@@OTCRock4one His voice is already strained as was Tates, who lost his top voice permanently.
Exactly. He's not Geoff, but he's good, and I'd definitely go listen to them play! 🤘😆
@@OTCRock4one not as good as Tate back then, but miles better then Tate today. I don't even wanna say, Tate is bad nowadays, but he lost a lot of range and power, where Todd can still pull it off in a great way 😉
This song ALWAYS needed to be this fast. I always thought that.
only one song i know of thats geoffs signature song Take Hold Of The Flame will never forget period.......
