Geoff Tate announces new Queensryche line-up
Geoff Tate has just announced the line-up for his version of Queensrÿche in a post on the newly redesigned Queenryche website and it includes some pretty surprising names. Tate says, in part:
“Today is a new day and I am thrilled to announce the new Queensrÿche.
Joining me are: Rudy Sarzo, Bobby Blotzer, Glen Drover, Kelly Gray and Randy Gane.
Together we shall embark on a new musical journey that will be a greater extension of where Queensrÿche has ever been.”

So what do you think? Is there room in the world for two Queensrÿches? The core band – Michael Wilton, Scott Rockenfield and Eddie Jackson – are already working on the next Queensrÿche album with Parker Lundgren and Todd La Torre and have already played gigs under the Queensrÿche name, so this is probably gonna get a bit messy before it all gets resolved in court in November 2013.

Hi! I'm Peter Hodgson. I write for Gibson.com, Australian Guitar, Australian Musician, Mixdown Magazine (including my instructional column, 'Unleash Your Inner Rock God,' which has been running since 2007), Blunt, Beat (including their weekly hard rock/metal column Crunch) and The Brag. And I'm Assistant Social Coordinator with Seymour Duncan.
I've been playing guitar since I was 8 years old, and I've been writing for magazines since I was 18. I've also worked as a guitar teacher (up to 50 students a week), a setup tech, a newspaper editor, and I've also dabbled in radio a little bit. I live in Melbourne, Australia, and my hobbies include drinking way too much coffee, and eating way too much Mexican food.
You can check out my guitar playing at Bandcamp or on YouTube, and feel free to email me at iheartguitarblog@gmail.com
