Wow, what a dickhead.

What's the point of taking a "fans" camera and chucking it into the audience?

Saw Tate in Minneapolis a few months back.....Fuck there was 200 or so people there in a city of over 3 million!

Any way, wasn't that greatest show, but was decent..

Tate did pour his water over many of us up at the front....which was douche....That reminds me...Guess I need a HIV test now???
Some geetars and an amp or two.

And so, as we expected, he shrugs it off like it's nothing:

http://www.blabbermouth.net/news.aspx?m ... mID=190640

Music Enthusiast Magazine: So tell me, what is with the incident from [May 17 in St. Charles, Illinois], where you took a cell phone from one of the audience members and pitched it out to the crowd [see video below]?

Geoff: Well, I think, William, what you're referring to is thirty years of being a performer. And because I happen to be in a lawsuit right now, some actions that I have become very normal with as a performer are getting scrutinized and manipulated to paint a picture of me. And so I that's what I think we are seeing now. Simple as that.

Music Enthusiast Magazine: So you think that footage is just people trying to make you look like the bad guy?

Geoff: I think that's the objective. I don't think it shows me being a bad guy, it's rock and roll. It's what I do, you know? [laughs]

Music Enthusiast Magazine: If that is the case, taking cell phones from audience members and pitching them out to the crowd wouldn't help matters.

Geoff: Well, thanks for that advice, William. You know, I actually have another interview that's happening right now. I've gotta go, but I really appreciate the interview today and it was really good talking to you.


EDIT: I'm reading the whole interview on the link found on that Blabbermouth page. I love how this interviewer isn't holding back. Geoff doesn't even know what to say to some of them. :lol: Most of the interviews I've seen have been by Geoff worshippers.

These two clips really sumarize the differences between the two Queensyches that exist right now. Neither is really as great as the original, but one is at least fan-focused, while the other is completely self obsessed.

Hmmm......

Let's see:
A 50 something year old man throwing someones $300 cell phone into the crowd who just paid to come see you.
Says it's Rock n Roll.............. :freak:

I say:
5,500 units sold of new Tate's Ryche record, 200 crowd attendance at local shows, minimal revenue generated = "It's Rock n Roll"................ ;)

oh wow. Now he's claiming he took a picture before throwing it back. So much of what he's said in interviews in the last year have been flat out lies. He can't even stay consistent with his own bullshit.

Oh, I can believe he possibly took a picture. But then he flung the phone blindly over his shoulder. :facepalm:

It takes a special brand of sociopath to lie in the face of overwhelming evidence. :wank:
