The EVOLUTION of GEOFF TATE (1977 to present)

[@pmac972]

In his prime, there was nobody better. Rage was an absolute masterpiece.

[@warnnie]

Rage of Order to Empire. Those are masterpieces.

yes ,but it was in his prime as you said not even close now

[@purplekat5864]

Like all of us, Geoff has lived through good and bad times. He's come through with a good attitude. His music/ lyrics, voice, and overall comportment have always impressed me very much. I was fortunate to meet Geoff, and All the fantastic guys in the band many times in the 90's. They always struck me as serious musicians and very nice, down-to-eath guys. Original QR and Geoff mean a lot to me, and I don't believe there's another singer who can touch Geoff. No one ever has, and no one ever will.

Between Rob Halford and him, it's difficult

[@purplekat5864]

@@AleYanok I know there are a lot of other great singers out there. There's something in his tone, expression, intensity, power, etc that just hits the mark for me!

Don’t forget Bruce

[@andrejz8954]

@@michaelcunis8329 Don't really like Bruce too much... He sounds a bit strained to me and don't like his colour. But ok, I'll admit he's still one of the best.

[@purplekat5864]

THANK YOU for putting together this evolution! Really great to see the passage of time like this. Also, I've never seen a man go through SO MANY hairstyles in my life. He's had more than just the few shown here. And looked good with all of them!

[@michellegutierrez6948]

Very cool!!!

[@donsavignano4396]

Geoff Tate was and still is one of rocks best vocalist. He can STILL hit those E5 notes live to an extent. Back then in his heyday geoff was 25 and now he's 63

[@PNSHR]

I have often discussed the best metal and hard rock singers and tried to create a list of the best. Geoff has always been in the top 20. I would spontaneously start the list like this: Geoff Tate, Michael Kiske, King Diamond, Eric Adams, Jon Oliva, Rob Halford, Ralf Scheepers, Hansi Kürsch, David Wayne, Ronnie James Dio, Midnight aka John Patrick Jr. McDonald, Matt Barlow.

[@benitokamelo252]

Best metal singer of the 80's (Dio is an exception)

[@mishapikin-b8c]

exactly you absolutely right

[@re8746]

I saw Geoff last year in Austin and I going to see him again this Sunday in Austin as well. Last year he played all of Empire and Rage of Order. This time around its a different mix of songs all together. Set list is really good and Geoff still brings it.

[@DarkGiratinaGirl666]

Rage FOR Order!

[@gamelivejonathan2843]

Ótimo trabalho! Geoff Tate tem algo que realmente não dá para explicar, pois ele se destaca dos outros vocalistas de uma maneira incrível

[@diegodz7510]

the Man is an absolute Legend

[@1ZZ1_1ZZ1]

I loved everything the band did from '82 until '90 and even after all these years it's my "go to" band. After that the music and the members got more and more weird. Once Tate and DeGarmo left - I knew it was over. In their day they were awesome!

[@dcummings4834]

I loved this. Geoff is favorite singer ever and in my opinion one of the most handsome men to ever walk this earth.

[@purplekat5864]

I agree!

[@lucasokeefe7935]

His work with Tobias Sammet has really reinvigorated him imo. It's great to hear him sound like he's having fun again.

[@angelmoore2453]

Still looks like he's in pretty good shape and he can rock a bald head.

[@sparkynm156]

Regardless of What condition or age of his voice, Geoff will Always Work with it and Deliver something BaddAss \m/

[@Asterix419]

The best voice in heavy metal music

[@robinsings]

Love.. Thank you for being a wonderful inspiration. I should have done more with what I learned from watching you .. next time.

[@Noctura91]

5:07 That's the right way, you shouldn't force a reunion.

[@ziggypop79]

I miss his hair but luckily also looks good bald. No Geoff no QR I don’t care what they say. It’s like Maiden without Dickinson.

[@brucepk631]

Geoff was simply the best or one of the best of the 80s and 90s... just a wonderful voice and still doing well these days compared to many others whose voices are shot... not mentioning any names like vince... lol

[@edwardcarner4026]

I would say the voice all singers wish they had

[@MrRoundthetwist]

He had some great looking hair I must say

[@trentthehandrocker1292]

Even though I love Todd La Torre, I miss Tate in Queensryche and I really.hope to see him, Chris DeGarmo and Scott Rockenfield back

[@chriswalker6776]

If you listen to heart and Boston and Geoff their vocals are very similar in their ways of holding high vocal notes. I've seen queenshryche 3 or 4 times and to say they do not disappoint you. The way they play and Geoff vocals were on queue every time and actually liked hearing them in person more than CD or cassette lol yeah I am old too. For Geoff and Ann and Bruce Dickinson to be able to sing like this at their age is very impressive to me. Yeah they can't hit them all but still sounds good to me.

[@RedLP5000S]

Tribe is a fantastic album. "Out of Mind" is a breathtaking song.

For as he always knew, there will never be a true Queensryche without Geoff, as there shall always be the true Queensryche wherever Geoff might be. For thine is the kingdom, and the power, and the glory, for ever. Amen.

[@jillbraun9395]

I hope he protects that beautiful voice.

[@justsumguy2u]

I can sum it up quickly. As he aged, he got fat and bald, and for awhile lost much of his vocal range too. He's still fat and bald, but he's worked to regain his range, and although it's not as good as it used to be, it's not bad nowadays

[@cinziachiarimeschiari8297]

The best vocalist!

[@alphaomega153]

Great voice, but where the hell is the "prog" in QR? It sounds like Us power metal to me.

[@martinbaker2322]

Creepy animation. On another note, I watched some of Tate's newer stuff and it didn't come off well either. The mix was pretty awful, with Tate's voice not coming through at all in some parts. His voice also was way off, but I'm hoping he was getting over a cold or something like that. He sounded "gravelly", and not in a good way, and even off key sometimes. I'm not trying to be an idiot throwing stones from the sidelines here. I really like what he's done in the past. Queensryche was great. I hope what I've been hearing isn't an accurate representation of his current stuff.
