The whole time, all I could think of is, "When did Bono from U2 take over vocal duties for Queensryche"?

Oh god. was it THAT bad? =)

When he first came out on stage with the tambourine, I immediatly thought LaBrie. Tamborines are so for like.....kindergarten sing-a-longs...or DT...

It does seem to me that Geoff thinks very highly of himself (to put it mildly). But I really didn't have a problem with his stage presence. He seemed like he was having a great time and I think it made his performance better. Not to mention that he sounded great.

 

[Rakan]

I just wish I coulda gone....

Musically, I thought QR were pretty good actually.
I am not a fan, just know the songs from way back when.
The Operation Mindcrime stuff sounded great.
Their newer stuff sounded like industrial Nu Metal.
Now I am sure true QR will say "You are nuts", but that is what that song "Tribe" sounded like.

One thing I would tell Geoff Tate if I ever meet him is : "Keep the shirt on!"

I'll second that. And I agree the new stuff sounds a little nu-metalish at times to me too. Open is a cool song though.
