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!"
