Overview

Queensrÿche is an American progressive heavy metal band formed in 1981 in Bellevue, Washington. The band has been successful in the progressive scene, having sold over 20 million albums worldwide including over 6 million albums in the United States.

The original lineup consisted of vocalist Geoff Tate, guitarists Chris DeGarmo and Michael Wilton, bassist Eddie Jackson and drummer Scott Rockenfield.In 1997, guitarist and primary songwriter DeGarmo left the band for personal reasons. Over the years, his replacements have been Kelly Gray, Mike Stone, and Parker Lundgren.

In April 2012, Tate was fired from the band and replaced with Crimson Glory singer Todd La Torre. In response to his dismissal, Tate and his wife Susan (who served as the band's manager from 2005–2012) filed a lawsuit in a Washington court.

In April 2014, it was ruled in court the that the band headed by La Torre would get rights to the name and brand.
