(Classic Rock) Queensryche splinter group Rising West disappointed fans last night by refusing to go into detail about their current relationship with singer Geoff Tate.Last week Michael Wilton, Eddie Jackson, Scott Rockenfield and Parker Lundgren announced they'd hired frontman Todd La Torre of Crimson Glory and would perform material from the prog metal giant's early years at two show in Seattle this weekend.
Speaking to 99.9 KISW they avoided in-depth discussion about rumoured fall-outs with Tate, and didn't even elaborate on their statement they'd been banned from Queensryche's website and Facebook page. Guitarist Wilton said: "We still very much are Queensryche, and Queensryche will be continuing on. We want to just have some fun, play some old 'Ryche, bring back some memories and just kick it."
Asked if he'd learned anything from their current position he replied: "Make a band agreement." They go into more details, read that here.
