Fan-filmed video footage of the Todd La Torre-fronted version of QUEENSRCHE performing on January 25 at the House Of Blues in Anaheim, California can be seen below. As previously reported, singer Geoff Tate who was fired from QUEENSRCHE in 2012 after fronting it for three decades and his former bandmates have once again requested more time to hammer out a settlement in their legal battle over the rights to the group's name. King County Superior Court Judge Beth Andrus has signed a new stipulation and order continuing trial date, allowing the parties three more weeks to come to an agreement over the use of the QUEENSRCHE name and its associated trademarks. If they cannot reach an agreement during that period, the trial is set to begin on March 3, or the earliest date thereafter that is convenient for the Court. Tate and his former bandmates previously requested two additional weeks in January to work on the details of their settlement agreement. QUEENSRCHE's self-titled album sold around 13,500 copies in the United States in its first week of release to land at position No. 23 on The Billboard 200 chart. The record arrived in stores on June 25 via Century Media Records. "Frequency Unknown", the latest album from the Geoff Tate-fronted version of QUEENSRCHE, opened with around 5,500 units to debut at No. 82. "Queensrÿche" marks the debut release from the lineup comprised of La Torre (vocals; ex-CRIMSON GLORY), Michael Wilton (guitar), Parker Lundgren (guitar), Eddie Jackson (bass) and Scott Rockenfield (drums). The drums for the album were recorded at London Bridge Studios in Seattle, Washington with producer James "Jimbo" Barton the man who engineered and mixed the band's classic 1988 LP, "Operation: Mindcrime", and its 1990 follow-up, "Empire", and co-produced 1994's "Promised Land". The rest of the music and vocals were laid down at several different facilities on the West Coast. The cover artwork was created by Craig Howell, who has previously worked on designs for "Star Wars", SLIPKNOT and "American Idol", to name a few.
