On April 25, Dan Day of the Eagle 98.1 radio station in Baton Rouge, Louisiana conducted an interview with QUEENSRCHE singer Geoff Tate. You can now listen to the chat using the audio player below.In what appears to be a preview of the upcoming settlement announcement over the rights to the QUEENSRCHE name, Geoff Tate's QUEENSRCHE webpage has changed. It no longer says "QUEENSRCHE" at the top and now features a banner with the words "Geoff Tate: The Voice Of QUEENSRCHE." In addition, there is a link to "QUEENSRCHE Without Geoff Tate" which points to QueensrycheOfficial.com, the official webpage of the Todd La Torre-fronted version of the band.QUEENSRCHE guitarist Michael Wilton recently confirmed that Tate who was fired from the Seattle progressive rock band in 2012 after fronting it for three decades and his former bandmates have reached a settlement in their legal battle over the rights to the group's name.Speaking to the Allentown Music Examiner, Wilton was asked when fans can expect a resolution of the legal case involving the two versions of QUEENSRCHE. "That's coming up," Wilton said. "What I can say is that both sides have reached an amicable settlement and it's now just a matter of time. There will be an official press release, but for now, you'll have to wait."Wilton also revealed that the Todd La Torre-fronted version of QUEENSRCHE is continuing work on material for the follow-up to last year's self-titled effort. "We've already begun the process for the next album," he said. "We have probably six songs demoed so far. We're taking it in a direction suited to what we do as QUEENSRCHE but maybe a little more progressive and heavier. The thing is, you never know what you really have until it's complete. It's like carving a piece of clay and seeing how it turns out. You peel off the layers until you get to something really cool."Interview (audio):
