QUEENSRŸCHE 2012
Remember when your heart quickened in anticipation of attending a concert? That period of time where you are counting down the time until you entered the venue and felt that charge of energy that you shared with everyone around you. Strangers yet connected by a commonality. LIVE MUSIC of a favourite band. This concert was no exception.
The year is 2013 and revolution is calling once again for Queensryche front man Geoff Tate, who is leading the charge with the band’s forthcoming studio effort titled, Frequency Unknown, due out April 23 on Deadline Music/Cleopatra Records.
Although “F.U.” might be perceived as a fitting tribute and salutation, it is, without question, a no-holds barred album of new music featuring original Queensryche vocalist Geoff Tate along with an entirely new line-up consisting of bassist Rudy Sarzo (Quiet Riot/Ozzy Osbourne/Whitesnake/Dio/Blue Oyster Cult), guitarist Robert Sarzo (Hurricane), drummer Simon Wright (AC/DC/Dio), guitarist Kelly Gray (Queensryche 1998 – 2001) and keyboardist Randy Gane (Myth).
For Frequency Unknown, Tate and company invited a few of their friends to come join in on the recording “fun” for what will mark Queensryche’s thirteenth studio album.
The result?
An album containing ten new hard-hitting, distinctively Queensryche songs, four newly-recorded Queensryche classics and an array of well-known guests including guitarists Chris Poland (Megadeth), Dave Meniketti (Y&T), Brad Gillis (Night Ranger), Ty Tabor (King’s X), K.K. Downing (Judas Priest), Craig Locicero (Forbidden) and Chris Cannella along with drummers Paul Bostaph (Slayer/Testament) and Evan Bautista.
Also appearing on the album will be bassist Jason Slater, who has worked on several previous Queensryche projects with Tate including Operation: Mindcrime II and American Soldier.
Slater co-wrote some of the songs on Frequency Unknown with Geoff Tate and is also the album’s Producer.
“I think that the idea of having guest appearances evolved from the time constraints we had imposed on the project,” states Tate. “And I must say that I was humbled by the enthusiasm and excitement of all the players that contributed.”

Although times have changed for Geoff Tate, his hard rock wavelength, as represented on Frequency Unknown, remains the same.

He remains one of the most well-known and respected vocalists in the history of hard rock and heavy metal.

Former MEGADETH and KING DIAMOND guitarist Glen Drover — who left Geoff Tate’s version of QUEENSRŸCHE before playing a single show with the band — will join the Todd La Torre-fronted QUEENSRŸCHE on stage this coming Thursday, March 7 at the Phoenix Concert Theatre in Toronto, Ontario, Canada to perform the QUEENSRŸCHE classic “Take Hold Of The Flame”.

In a posting on his Twitter account, Glen wrote: “Going up onstage with the REAL QUEENSRŸCHE and play ‘Take Hold Of The Flame’ this thursday at the Phoenix in Toronto. Going to be fun stuff!”
Band comprised Of Todd La Torre, Michael Wilton, Parker Lundgren, Eddie Jackson and Scott Rockenfield heading out on “Return To History World Tour”
(March 4, 2013 – New York, NY) – Legendary Seattle rockers QUEENSRYCHE are poised to regain their place as hard rock/heavy metal royalty in 2013. The band has just signed a new label deal with Century Media for the release of their latest studio album. The album is slated for release on June 11 and marks the debut album from the lineup comprised of Todd La Torre (Vocals), Michael Wilton (Guitars), Parker Lundgren (Guitars), Eddie Jackson (Bass) and Scott Rockenfield (Drums). The band premiered a snippet from a new song called “Redemption” from the upcoming release on Eddie Trunk’s radio show on February 22. The 90-second snippet can be viewed at: http://youtu.be/P8iaNZBUK9c. QUEENSRYCHE join Century Media’s diverse roster comprised of some of music’s most recognizable talent, including IN FLAMES, IN THIS MOMENT, LACUNA COIL and ARCH ENEMY to name a few.
“QUEENSRYCHE is excited to begin writing this next chapter of our career with Century Media. Their passion and love for music has been apparent since early discussions and we are pleased to call them partners on this journey,” states bassist Eddie Jackson. “We are also thankful for all of the fans who have supported us from day one and helped us get to where we are today. Todd, Scott, Parker, Michael and I wouldn’t be here if it wasn’t for each and every one of you.”
QUEENSRYCHE will also be heading out on their “Return To History World Tour” this March and April. The tour kicks off on March 5th in Dubuque, IA and makes stops in 9 different countries wrapping up on April 26th in the Netherlands. The band will also be taking to the high seas on this year’s “Monsters Of Rock Cruise” and “Sweden Rock Cruise.” The 23 date trek will make stops in New York, Tennessee and Florida as well as in Canada, United Kingdom and Germany amongst others. Tickets for all shows are currently on sale.
QUEENSRYCHE first burst onto the music scene in 1982 with the release of their self-titled 4 song EP Queensrÿche. They very quickly gained international recognition and performed to sold-out audiences around the world. With the follow up first full-length album The Warning in 1984, and the ground breaking 1986 release of Rage For Order, QUEENSRYCHE continued to prove their worldwide dominance as one of the most respected and creative bands of the 80′s. In 1988 the band turned out yet another monumental album Operation: Mindcrime, which would go on to become one of the TOP 10 best selling concepts records of all time, and set the stage for continued sold out performances around the world. With the release of the critically acclaimed and commercially successful Empire in 1991, the band earned multiple Grammy Award nominations and won the MTV “viewers choice” award for the #1 chart topping hit “Silent Lucidity”. During the next ten years, the band continued to release albums and tour the world to sold-out audiences. QUEENSRYCHE has sold over 30 million albums worldwide and have continued to break new ground and push their creative process.
QUEENSRŸCHE, fronted by ex-CRIMSON GLORY vocalist Todd La Torre in place of original singer Geoff Tate, are currently working on a new studio album. On February 22nd, a 90 second clip of the new song ‘Redemption’ was aired on Eddie Trunk’s Friday Night Rocks radio show, broadcast via New York’s Q104.3 FM. The song sample can be heard below:
In the latest episode of Gear Addicts, Queensrÿche’s Scott Rockenfield talks about the band’s upcoming studio album and first with Todd La Torre.
“The final stages of the record are being done now,” the drummer says. “The excitement that we have right now is because it’s a visit to the past. The whole transition for us was all about musical and creative direction. In a nutshell, I would say what we’re doing on the new record is much more like our early stuff like the EP until Mindcrime and Empire. Metal, hard rock, good song structure, incredible performances (laughs). We’ve really dug in deep.”
The news will come as a shock to some while others will shrug it off saying “It’s about time..,” but BW&BK has been informed directly that after approximately three years as the frontman for Florida-based progressive metal band CRIMSON GLORY, vocalist Todd La Torre has officially resigned.
La Torre was introduced to Crimson Glory by Matt La Porte (JON OLIVA’S PAIN / CIRCLE II CIRCLE), becoming an official member in 2010. He helped to ignite and give new life to the legendary band that had been on hiatus for nearly ten years, and mourning the loss of original vocalist Midnight. Crimson Glory emerged back into the world arena metal scene with very high praise and acceptance. La Torre toured as the new voice of Crimson Glory throughout Europe in celebration of the band’s 25th Anniversary with great success. Talk of a new album was highly anticipated and the band appeared to be firing on all cylinders.
“We were writing the new album and things were looking good, says La Torre. “We had interest from two major European labels, which was very promising. I was very honored and proud that we were on the rise, and the fans were embracing all that we were doing. We had wonderful momentum and we were working within an important window of time within which the new record should have been recorded and released to have the most impact given the bands resurgence. Unfortunately, the record never materialized despite my best efforts.”
“My involvement with Queensrÿche had nothing to do with the album progress,” he continues. “I haven’t been contacted to write with Crimson Glory for over six months. As a band, our writing sessions were slow, eventually becoming non-existent before I ever joined Queensrÿche. During the specific timeframe that I was in talks with Queensrÿche, members of CG were simultaneously occupied by other external and internal endeavors that apparently absorbed the time and/or will away from CG, which is not fallacious per se, but it proceeded in passivity. The main reason for my resignation from Crimson Glory is primarily due to its inertia status.”
“Crimson Glory was the catalyst that exposed me to the world as an undiscovered vocalist, and I am very thankful to them. Special thanks also to the amazing fans for their acceptance and support of not only Crimson Glory, but their continued support to me as an artist. Lastly, I sincerely wish my friends in Crimson Glory the absolute very best, both personally and professionally.”

Interview with Michael Wilton, Eddie Jackson & Scott Rockenfield

Seattle’s progressive metal legends Queensrÿche have recently been under the watchful eyes of the global metal community, due in no small part to a momentous shift in personnel with the exit of longtime vocalist Geoff Tate and the introduction of the band’s new vocalist Todd La Torre (Crimson Glory). A mountain of controversy surrounding the departure of the band’s famed former vocalist resulted in court proceedings between both parties over the use of the band’s name and likeness, not to mention a brief war of words exchanged in the press. When I learned that I would be speaking with founding members Michael Wilton, Eddie Jackson and Scott Rockenfield I wasn’t quite sure what to expect from the chat but found myself somewhat relieved that the band had decided to take the high road and focus our conversation on their current plans with their new vocalist Todd La Torre, what it’s like for them to once again perform their early material in concert and of course a more revitalized return to metal, in general, following the uninspired modern hard rock of last year’s “Devoted To Chaos”. The band were in high spirits, excited about things to come and as evidenced by their performance later that night at the South Texas Rock Fest In San Antonio, Texas I’d say, rightfully so.
The below quote from RATT drummer Bobby Blotzer was posted on Facebook:
“Hey peeps, I really appreciate the loads of positive feedback about the grouping with Geoff and company. A lot of questions about the state of Ratt surfacing as well. Those should be directed in the direction the usual suspects in Ratt’s disappearance, Warren (DeMartini) and Stephen (Pearcy). I’ve exhausted myself for two years with those two. I’m sorry for all the b.s. they have fed false info to fans. Not meant to be mean, just exhausted with unreasonable people.”
As reported earlier, Bobby Blotzer of Ratt has joined GEOFF TATE’s QUEENSRŸCHE along with bassist Rudy Sarzo (ANIMETAL USA, ex-WHITESNAKE), guitarist Glen Drover (ex-MEGADETH), guitarist Kelly Gray (ex-Queensrÿche) and keyboardist Randy Gane.
QUEENSRŸCHE have announced a new live show, on March 8th in Englewood, NJ, at the Bergen Performing Arts Center. Queensrÿche’s complete live itinerary and ticket info can be found here.
QUEENSRŸCHE 2012
Queensrÿche – featuring new singer Todd La Torre, guitarist Michael Wilton, bassist Eddie Jackson, drummer Scott Rockenfield and guitarist Parker Lundgren – were interviewed at their official live debut at the Halfway Jam 2012 in Royalton, Minnesota on July 28th. Check out the 18-minute chat below:
In a new Q&A interview with Christa Titus from Billboard.com, Scott Rockenfield, guitarist Michael Wilton and bassist Eddie Jackson discuss working on demos for their next album and different aspects of the lawsuit against former singer Geoff Tate. Here are a few excerpts from the chat:
Billboard.com: What progress are you making with the demos you’re doing?
Rockenfield: “It’s going well. We’ve been writing for the last couple months. It’s all so fresh to us, even just our relationship with Todd being in the band. It’s kind of a whirlwind. I think our heads every day are kind of spinning with everything that we’re dealing with. Some of it’s good and some of it’s bad that you gotta deal with, and you know all the stuff that we’re going through.”
Wilton: “Each one of us has hard drives full of material that was never used for whatever reasons . . . We all wanna write these songs together. We all want to be in the room, use the best ability of everybody and make these songs a band signature, [where] we play it before we burn it on a computer. You gotta play it together. We wanna bring that essence back like we used to do in Scott’s basement that we used to call the Dungeon (where the band rehearsed in its early days). That’s where the magic happens.”
Jackson: “It also prepares yourself even more so for right before you start recording these songs.”
Rockenfield: “What we’re going to try to do is get back to our face-to-face interactive roots and write songs and pull from our history, and look what we are excited about and do that. The cool thing is, Todd, joining and doing this with us now, is helping us do that, because he’s excited about that direction and likes do that as well. The plan is, soon enough down the road, we’ll be able to give some news about what’s happening, get in the studio in the next coming months. We don’t have any timeline for that yet, but that’s the plan [to] be able to go out and support some of that next year.”
Billboard.com: What is it like doing this without Geoff’s involvement?
Rockenfield: “We just do it in a different way. We’re working with different people. One, being with Todd. We’re working and writing songs with him and he brings a whole creative and musical talent to the band that we didn’t have before. I’m not (it’s) saying good, bad or indifferent, but he’s interesting. He’s a drummer for 25 years and actually really good at it, so it’s interesting for me, because he sits in when we’re rehearsing and every time I go take a pee, he jumps on my drum kit and starts playing stuff I can’t figure out. And he sings while he’s doing it . . . and Parker, this is the most we’ve been involved with Parker as well and that’s turning out to be a really great thing. His enthusiasm and his dedication and his willingness to learn and become part of what Queensrÿche is, is really working out great.”
Billboard.com: Clearly, as expressed by all the commentary online, there are a lot of fans that support you, but there are also fans who feel there is no way you can go on without Geoff.
Rockenfield: “We can’t go out and try to convince the fans. The only way we can do that or to show them what is available for them as Queensrÿche, we’re just gonna go out and do it and they can come out and experience what we’re gonna do. Our fans have been family. There’s a lot of people in our camp for 30 years that have been with us for a long time and we’re quite close to a lot of them, and it is affecting them, once again, kind of like a divorce, where they don’t know what to do. They don’t know what side to take. It hasn’t been the easiest thing. But there’s a lot of them that have been understanding of it and they get it, and they’re gonna make a decision about what they wanna do or how they wanna judge their opinion based upon their own personal thing, and that’s totally cool.”
Queensrÿche is joining the March 16-20, 2013, Monsters of Rock II cruise, and will perform one-off dates like Lincoln City, Ore.’s Chinook Winds Casino October 19-20 and Hollywood’s House of Blues on November 24. The band also plans the Return to History tour in 2013 that it hopes to take worldwide.
Geoff Tate also seems to be planning to perform under the Queensrÿche name. He’s listed on the website for booking agency Monterey International as Queensrÿche Starring Geoff Tate: The Original Voice, but a band lineup isn’t listed. Dates are posted at Pollstar.com for him to play such dates as ALICE COOPER’s tour in November.
“I’m sure the last few months have been very frustrating for you. I know they have been for me. There are so many questions and so few answers.
It is said that adversity makes one stronger. Well, I’m definitely in a better place now than I’ve ever been before. I feel very positive and excited.
The challenge, when you’re in a creative environment, is keeping things fresh and invigorating, and after working with the same people for thirty years, it gets very difficult—You walk into the room, and everybody knows what everyone is going to do. There’s no spark, the chemistry is very tried and true and you just keep coming up with the same ways of expressing yourself.
Today is a new day and I am thrilled to announce the new Queensrÿche.
Joining me are: Rudy Sarzo, Bobby Blotzer, Glen Drover, Kelly Gray and Randy Gane.
Together we shall embark on a new musical journey that will be a greater extension of where Queensrÿche has ever been.
With this new project, with these new people, it’s a whole new scene. There are new ideas, different musical backgrounds and a whole new set of parameters. Everyone has ideas you haven’t heard before, and everyone is throwing them against the wall and suddenly … the music has a whole new life.
I look forward to this new life and I hope to see you on tour as all of us come together and begin this new era.”
Former QUEENSRŸCHE singer Geoff Tate taped a guest appearance on VH1 Classic’s “That Metal Show” this past weekend for an episode which is expected to premiere on August 25. “That Metal Show” co-host Eddie Trunk says, “We asked Geoff every tough question and he dodged nothing. He was honest in his assesment of what went down from his perspective [between him and his former bandmates].”
Sample quote from Geoff’s “That Metal Show” segment: “I’d like to sit in a room with those gentlemen [referring to his former QUEENSRŸCHE bandmates] and have them tell me face to face what the situation is. Explain their actions. I’d like to know and actually understand their point of view. I’d like to see them talk to me face to face rather than through the Internet. Communication is a big part of any relationship, right? If nobody’s talking, then nothing’s getting settled. My door’s open!”
Season 11 of “That Metal Show” kicks off on Saturday, August 11 and other featured guests include AEROSMITH’s Joey Kramer and Brad Whitford, IRON MAIDEN’s Steve Harris, CHICKENFOOT’s Sammy Hagar and Michael Anthony and Zakk Wylde (BLACK LABEL SOCIETY, OZZY OSBOURNE).
QUEENSRŸCHE members Michael Wilton (guitar), Eddie Jackson (bass), Scott Rockenfield (drums) and Parker Lundgren (guitar) announced on June 20 that they were parting ways with Geoff Tate and recruiting La Torre of CRIMSON GLORY as his replacement.
Wilton, Jackson and Rockenfield defeated Tate’s motion for a preliminary injunction on July 13 that would have kept them from touring and operating under the band name,
Tate and his wife, Susan, QUEENSRŸCHE’s former manager, filed a lawsuit against Geoff’s ex-bandmates on June 22 in King County Superior Court over whether he should be awarded the QUEENSRŸCHE name after being dismissed from the group in June. Their complaint states Rockenfield, Wilton and Jackson wrongfully fired the singer and are tarnishing the group’s brand by attempting to move forward without him.
If the case goes to trial, the date is set for November 18, 2013.
In the meantime, Wilton, Jackson and Rockenfield, along with Lundgren and La Torre have launched a new web site at QueensrycheOfficial.com.
The new QUEENSRŸCHE lineup made its official live debut as the headliner of the last day of this year’s Halfway Jam, which took place July 26-28 in Royalton, Minnesota.
Lundgren was briefly married to Geoff’s stepdaughter Miranda; they have since divorced.
