Words cannot express. First knee jerk reaction was ‘jump the shark’ for me too. Mentioned in comments above, so at least I’m not alone. Anyone know when the lawsuit is going to conclude? Still very much hoping Wilton, Rockenfield and Jackson retain the name before Tate manages to completely desecrates the integrity of the brand.
* desecrate – wish we were able to edit our posts. lol
Just blame the Ipad. That’s what I do.
I watched the whole thing, and it was painful. Also remember that Jason Ames (strumming the chords and singing next to him) is doing most of the singing while Uncle Vester sings under him. To add to the clusterf*ck that you saw, keep in mind that Jason Ames used to be married to Susan Tate, who is Geoff Tate’s current wife. You can’t make this sh*t up. One of the dancers (the bleached blonde, I think) is the biological daughter of Ames and Susan Tate, but when Susan married Vest, she dropped her last name and took Tate’s. Then she was briefly married to Parker Lundgren, who Tate brought into QR. They divorced and Parker stayed with the real QR when they gave Tate the boot.
Soap opera.
This is truly embarrassing. I couldn’t even watch the whole thing.

Eddie…I hope you are going to ask Geoff about this craziness…nothing else matters when he is promoting this as his brand of music, and actually touring with this crap…who would want to see this??
