Geoff Tate's Queensryche has changed its lineup so many times that it's hard to keep track of who's in the band at any given moment -- and as it turns out, that's exactly the way Tate likes it.
Geoff Tate was the voice of Queensryche for years, so it stands to reason that after he was fired from the band and decided to strike out on his own, he was counting on the continued support of his longtime fans. Unfortunately for Tate, it hasn't exactly worked out that way.
Well, you can't say Queensryche singer Geoff Tate isn't a good sport. In a new YouTube clip, the vocalist reacts to a barrage of incredibly vitriolic fan reviews of the group's new album, 'Frequency Unknown.'

The remarkable drama surrounding Queensryche continues, as the Geoff Tate edition of the band will remix its forthcoming album 'Frequency Unknown.' His label, Deadline Music/Cleopatra Records, made the decision after fans complained about the sound on the samples they released.
Given that Geoff Tate responded to being fired from Queensryche by simply going off and starting his own Queensryche, most of us expected the two camps to spend the next several years sniping at each other in the press -- and that's pretty much the way it's still going down.
Saying that "revolution is calling once again" for singer Geoff Tate, Cleopatra Records has unveiled what's being billed as Queensryche's 13th studio album: 'Frequency Unknown,' or 'F.U.' for short.
The members of Queensryche that split with vocalist Geoff Tate last summer have signed a new record deal with Century Media Records, and announced their first album with vocalist Todd La Torreis on the way. Century Media is a company whose A&R representative officially supported Tate's injunction to prevent anyone from using the name Queensryche until legal issues were settled. That injunction
