Queensryche Members Locked Out Of Website

No mention of the band side project on their site

Published 6th Jun 2012

Last week it was reported that a disagreement had taken place between frontman Geoff Tate and the rest of the band, which had prompted Michael Wilton, Eddie Jackson, Scott Rockenfield and Parker Lundgren to form a new band called Rising West with Crimson Glory frontman Todd La Torre.

While the band's spokesman played down the idea of a disagreement, the latest news from the Rising West camp would suggest that there is at least a little ill-feeling between the two parties. 

The band have revealed that they have been "locked out" of Queenryche's official website and their Facebook page, while Geoff Tate's solo tour is still being plugged on there.

A post on the Rising West Facebook page said:

"We are being denied access to our own facebook page and website (meaning Queensryche) so please spread the word for about Rising West. Rising West will be on KISW 99.9 this Thursday around 4:30. Thank you for your support and we hope to see you at our shows!"
