I can understand where you're coming from 'Frownland'. However, I found it absolutely DISGRACEFUL (
) that Geoff put together his own version of "Queensryche" as a result of the court proceedings. THANKFULLY, that came to an end in Sept. 2014. Overall, I'm just happy there is only one VERSION of Queensryche now. I think the three founding members ( Jackson, Rockenfield, and Wilton ) carried themselves a lot better during the split and overall respected the Queensryche name more than Geoff did, unfortunately. Particularly since 2010. Sadly, the split was inevitable.
Be that as it may, let's be perfectly clear. Even though I think the current lineup with singer Todd La Torre and guitarist Parker Lundgren is a VERY solid incarnation, one thing IS certain: it is not now, nor will it EVER be, the "real" Queensryche. In short order, that title is RESERVED for the original lineup of DeGarmo, Jackson, Rockenfield, Tate, and Wilton. Queensryche are the PERFECT example of the whole being greater than the sum. Thanks for responding (
).
