  • ANTISEMITES. Shame on you two !

    What was the need to call David Lee Roth “a Jew with a Jew hook nose”

    Episode name: “David Lee Roth’s last performance - a total train wreck” six minutes in.

    I wonder if they’d say it to David Lee Roth’s face or the people they report to or Paul Stanley, Gene Simmons and many more.

IS AC/DC FAN NATION A CULT? Neeley and Chris Rip Into "George and Billy"
Q: What do you guys think when you get those uber way over the top fans?
I'm personally very friendly to them; if they're really aggressive or annoying, then I would snap at them, but I believe in being approachable.
CMS CLASSIC: GEOFF TATE TEARS INTO QUEENSRYCHE: "A Desperate Play For Justification!" 2013
Q: Do you really feel that what you're going to bring out as Queensryche is the true Queensryche versus what the other guys are doing?
I truly believe that my vision of Queensryche has what has propelled the band for many years, and it is my music, my ideas, my creativity.

Q: How much of this had been building to the point where it kind of spilled onto the stage?
There was never any discussion or meeting about these issues, it was handled underhandedly and was humiliating.
CMS CLASSIC: GEOFF TATE TEARS INTO QUEENSRYCHE: "A Desperate Play For Justification!" 2013
Q: Do you think that you've been wronged by the way this split has gone and the way that the name has been taken and what not?
Yes, I feel that the split was not handled properly and it is madness from my point of view.
