Izzyslash Posted January 23, 2009 Share Posted January 23, 2009 Well, i'm not to excited. But will probably pick it up. The last now wasn't that bad, so hope they improve from that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DirtyDeeds Posted January 23, 2009 Share Posted January 23, 2009 I like them. Not a huge fan. I ean I don't know all the tunes, but I do enjoy most of the ones I hear. Saw them last year and I might see them again this year. Who was the guy that won the contest to do guest vocals on the album? Where is he/she from? That was cool that the did that. They had part of the little contest for that in front of the audience when they did their show last year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Satanisk_Slakt Posted January 23, 2009 Share Posted January 23, 2009 Great band! Was one of my favourites four or five years ago. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AxlsAngel Posted January 23, 2009 Share Posted January 23, 2009 I've liked them for a long time, and they sing one of my favorite songs. I've always loved Geoff Tate's voice. I saw them in '91 - great concert. I'm looking forward to this new one too! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Powerage5 Posted January 23, 2009 Share Posted January 23, 2009 I'm a casual fan. I've got the first EP and Operation: Mindcrime and both are awesome, just haven't really explored them more for some reason. They're an awful live band though, I had the displeasure of seeing them 3 times on the '07 tour opening for Alice Cooper and Heaven And Hell. Tate's voice is shot now, but he was an amazing singer in the 80's. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I thought they were a really good live band, too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I thought they were a really good live band, too.I dunno, it was at 3 shows over the course of 2 weeks, and all were pretty pitiful. I mean, the band was in great shape, but Geoff Tate's vocal performances were pretty poor. I'd be open to seeing them again to give it another shot, but on all 3 occasions a half hour set was more than enough. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Getizzyback Posted January 25, 2009 Share Posted January 25, 2009 (edited) I like Empire, my best friend was really heavy into these guys, I was just a casual liker, I have heard all their stuff, and Empire is all I own.Seemed like (for some reason) these guys appealed more to the Iron Maiden, Judas Priest crowd, at least most of the people I know who liked them (in the 80s), were into those other 2 also.

I promise you, he sounded exactly like the albums when I saw them. He sounded incredible. I'd definitely suggest giving them another chance. I mean, his voice sounded great for the whole 2 and a half hour set that I saw. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
P.A. Guns Posted January 25, 2009 Share Posted January 25, 2009 I am a fan. I was going to see them this May, but it is a really small show, so tickets sold out rather quick. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

His best performances are when he's storytelling -- you could tell the guy really wants to be on Broadway. When he gets into a character--he owns the stage. Geoff Tate is an extremely nice guy. Had the honor of interviewing him for my site a few years ago. (am I allowed to post my site here? http://www.kohlismusicpit.com). He really was cool and we talked for over an hour and a half. I've talked to him in person a couple times after--he remembered me last time! Yay! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
