Geoff Tate of Queensryche with Terry David Mulligan in Vancouver (October 1991, MuchMusic)

Ever wanted to know what the legendary Little Mountain Sound studios in Vancouver looked like? Well, you get a white wall with "Sue was here" graffiti on it. But, you also get the legendary Terry David Mulligan interviewing the even more legendary Geoff Tate of Queensryche in summer 1991! Peak 'Ryche.
The band were in town for a gig and Mulligan caught Tate when the band were busy sound-checking. Lots of interesting talk here. Queensryche has done a lot of studio work in Vancouver. Why? According to Tate, because Seattle didn't have the recording technology they needed to make their kind of music! You can hear Vancouver on the Empire album, as Geoff explains.
They also talk about "Silent Lucidity" which of course was the big song for them. It's not exactly clear what Queensryche were doing at Little Mountain in Vancouver at that time. Should I ask Mike Fraser?

I think Queensryche and Geoff Tate are awsome. I wish they would get back together with Chris D play Silent Lucidity Acoustic version.

[@GrabAStackofRocK]

Meh! We already have an acoustic version with both those guys on the "Bridge" single in 1994, and Tate did his own remake. New music will always be better than remakes. Let the past die. Chris ain't coming back.

[@Han-Solo459]

He comes across as being very introverted.

[@GrabAStackofRocK]

Which is fine, it's a cerebral band.

[@216Numbskull]

Call me crazy but in this interview Geoff kinda resembles Freddie a little bit. Just saying... 🤘😜🤘

[@Houlgravely]

Tate is such an embarrassment today. Bring back the one we had through Promised Land.

[@GrabAStackofRocK]

Promised Land is the last album of theirs that really mattered to me -- love that album. Afterwards things get dicey, and sadly Tate was at the helm for that decline.

@@daviddaniel3996 sorry? I don't follow you.

[@GrabAStackofRocK]

@David Daniel please note I said absolutely nothing negative about La Torre era Ryche. You are clearly not familiar with my writing and have obviously never read my reviews of Verdict, Condition Human or the 2013 record. Cheers.

[@GrabAStackofRocK]

@@daviddaniel3996 I still don't understand the point of all this. Did you enjoy the video interview by TDM?

We all get old.
