My friends and I were already fans since the EP and were blown away hearing The Warning for the first time. Rage for Order brought it to another level for a lot of us. I was fortunate to see all of those tours and into the 2000s. Good to hear Geoff is doing well and found that heart problem before it became something irreparable.

Great interview. First time seeing a Geoff Tate interview and I'm a longtime fan. The part where Geoff spoke about talking to the president from their record company and how Empire sold so well,...speaking for myself, Operation Mindcrime was so great that I had to hear what was coming next. Operation Mindcrime, to this day, is my favourite album. Back then I was buying cassettes and I had to buy 3 because I listened to it so much it wore out the tapes. I also advertised it like crazy and got a lot of people I went to high school to buy the album. I also remember the first time I heard it. I had been seeing their name in Columbia House advertisements and I wanted to check them out. My brother just happened to be travelling to Boston to see a Red Sox-Blue Jays baseball game and I asked him to get me all the Queensryche cassettes he could find. He got home at 5 in the morning and had gotten The Warning and Operation Mindcrime. I slipped Mindcrime into my walkman right away and was blown away by what I was hearing. It still gives me goosebumps to think about it. Such a great album and I'm a big fan of Geoff Tate.

So Cassius I was finally able to finish watching this interview. It was nice to see someone asking interesting questions, AND following them up and getting clarification when needed. The one consistent thing about Tate that really bothers me however, is that he NEVER admits any culpability in what happened with the band members, and more importantly WHY it happened the way it did. Additionally, I am in possession of all of the sworn affidavits from the band members as a result of the 2012 legal proceedings, and can say Tate either has selective recall, or is a borderline narcissist. That said, excellent interview dude!!!

It’s always interesting to listen to Geoff, he’s obviously more than just a Rock n’ Roll singer/musician, he’s a thinker, and his answers on other topics are obviously based on a solid foundation of logic and humility. As for those celebrities who fear revealing the human side of themselves, perhaps due to a lack of substance, Geoff clearly gains additional kudos for being the admirable man he is. Glad his heart surgery went well and that he’s collating a bunch of music to break out to the public. Truly great news.

I came here for the full interview. One dynamic I can share with people (from experience) is that if you are very smart and very driven, and reasonably self disciplined, and you are in a band - you will be the target of the rest of the band's ire - at least some of the time. My old band mates used to despise the fact that I pushed them to write better, or to practice more and be more tight. But in the intervening years, every single one of them has called me to say "Now I understand - thank you for the push because now I understand why". I am not tooting my own horn - I push myself in everything I do because I love everything I am doing, and I have this deep fear of wasting time. I think Geoff is like that - and I suspect he understands the dynamic. That effect occurs in any scenario where you work with other people, by the way. I've encountered it in business. One thing I try to do now is to make it clear with both words and action, that I am always in service to others and to the end result. That helps to balance and stabilize some of the envy that people will have towards over-achievers.
