Queensryche-Chris Degarmo and Geoff Tate interview

Interview with Degarmo and Tate from 1990. They talk about what went into the writing of Operation Mindcrime. Pretty radical thinking on the part of Degarmo, which of course led to the awesome Operation Mindcrime.

Chris Degarmo was the life blood of that band. Damn shame he left.

Hey Chris, Obama has conducted the revolution you sought. Now look at the results. The way to create equality is with a hand up, not a handout. When every young rock musician wants socialist revolution then they aren't rebels anymore, they are merely the everyday sameold sameold bs.

@Danerage Damn we're bombarding this video XD

[srs7593]

@Danerage haha I can't get enough of these kinds of things XD

/watch?v=-bQcK3JzrDc&feature=c­hannel_video_title My thickest recorded mixed E5 that is on the internet right now occurs at 10:49 this in this video. Here I'm just making noise, but I can do a pretty clean one with vibrato these days. You see, I acquired a very wide range in a very short time and am in the process of learning to use it. I'll probably do one of those Jim Gillette tributes very soon for giggles.

@srs7593

You can crack in falsetto actually, but I guess I can believe that C5 as super thin mixed voice. Based on that, you're not getting a Bb5 in mixed voice unless it's 'Geoff Tate' mixed voice (eg. falsetto). In Geoff Tate's approach, I can manage as high as E6, but I use real mixed voice in the same vein as Chris Cornell, Daniel Heiman, Graham Bonnet, or Geoff Tate's notes around D5-F#5. I'd rather not get into a 'dick waving contest', as you put it, though. The internet is srs amirite?

[srs7593]

@Danerage Yay, dick waving contest :D

The C5 was mixed. You can even hear me crack up into a falsetto Ab5 afterward. I don't think I can make my voice crack from falsetto into falsetto. Had I been in front of a mic I would have sounded more like Billy Gibbons on the G1. I'll be sure to do that next time. I'll also be sure to slide more smoothly on up. My highest mixed voice note is actually a Bb5 on most days. Not a good day, most days. I'll get this done hopefully in these next few days.

[Danerage]

@srs7593 Pretty solid lows, but you sound like you're in subtle fry on the lowest notes. C5 is also falsetto. In full-voice, you cover about C2-G4 there. Now, in a role-reversal, when you can sing unstrained mixed voice F#5s and push up to full Bb5s, you can talk to me. :)

@srs7593 *we'll 

[srs7593]

@Danerage /watch?v=XFlvmK2tBdk when I hear your G1s well talk.
