Originally posted by Bob Savage Anything is possible, but I think it's boohickie. By the way, where are you finding your facts? Their first EP was recorded in 82, which means they were probably around a bit before that. I have a friend that was a big Queensryche fan. The kind that searches for all the stuff he can about the band. He told me all this, and I believe him. Could be wrong. I personally have never seen an interview where Geoff said these things.

Originally posted by Bob Savage Nice job with the rolleyes. And here I thought only women did that rolleye thingie. Don't take it so personally that I think the whole "Geoff was an opera singer" is balogna. Well there is also the fact that Tate was born in 1959, and started Queensryche in 1982, which would have made him 23. You dont think from 18 to 23 he could have taken opera? And you think everyone is just lying about his opera teacher singing with her?

Originally posted by Bob Savage So Geoff sang in the opera in his early/mid teens? If thats "before Queensryche" then I guess so. I dont know about where you live, but where I live they have/had a vocal chior in highschool and many kids got full scholarships to college based on their performance. Some people actually do start practicing opera at an early age, just like all other musicians.

Originally posted by DeadNight Warrior I've heard that too, but I've also heard it's rubbish. From what I've heard, he just took some vocal lessons in that style. You do know that the woman singing on "Suite Sister Mary" is his opera teacher, right? Yes, he did used to sing opera before Queensryche. For the record, I think DT's original singer was much better. I never have liked James. I think he has no balls in his voice, he sings off key live often, and he looks like a moron twirling around on stage.
