Geoff Tate was fired from Queensrÿche in 2012.
Former Queensrÿche vocalist and current Operation: Mindcrime member, Geoff Tate,
spoke to AntiHero magazine about the most inspiring musician he has ever worked with:
“Wow, inspiring…I would say, probably, Michael Kamen. He was a classical orchestrator and writer. A musician I worked with several times over the years and he was very musical. He really had a vision for music and really loved music for its purity. He didn’t care what anyone else thought. He simply liked what he liked and he did what he liked. And I really respect people who have that kind of vision and fortitude, actually.”
Tate is celebrating the 30th anniversary of Queensrÿche's album Operation: Mindcrime on his current European tour. He was fired from the band in 2012 and replaced by Todd La Torre of Crimson Glory.
The singer recently recorded a new song called "I've Seen The Way The Wind Blows " in support of a non-profit organization focused on helping homeless people in Snohomish, United States, where Tate lives with his family.
