Maybe it is just me, but I take issue with this.
It is NOT the real Queensryche.
Both versions of the band are NOT the Real QR.
At best, they should be referred to as TateRyche and 3/4 Edition.
I strongly disagree. I saw the Todd La Torre lineup in Raleigh this past Saturday, and they were possibly the best live show I've ever seen. On top of that, 'Redemption' actually sounds like Queensryche, which is something I cannot say for the samples of Tate's upcoming F.U. album. If you want to make a case that neither lineup is the real QR, you'd have to also denote the several lineups of the band since Chris DeGarmo left the band.
Geoff Tate was
fired by majority vote of the shareholders of the band, after he physically assaulted other members of the band and spat on them during the middle of a show, in response to the band trying to hold a meeting and see if they could sort things out with him.
The 'TLT version of Queensryche'
is the Real Queensryche.
