So... He's going with the modified Empire logo huh? How original. I feel sorry for the musicians that have hooked up their wagon to Geoff Tate.

"Say U Luv It"

Unless he wrote that song with Prince, he has no excuse for spelling it like that.

I heard pre-order sales also come with officially licensed guy-liner and faux beard.

Geoff Taint: "Say U Luv it"
fan: "...uhhh, love what?"
GT: "My attempt at looking like a gay Rob Halford."
**I understand the irony of that statement**
fan: "Sorry, can't say that I do."
GT: "Well U suck, cuz that's The Way I Roll."
fan: "Well, suit yourself then. Enjoy trying to relive your Glory Days... douche."

^ haha! At least he didn't draw it along his jawline. It would be hilarious if he went all Kerry King instead -minus the skull tats. Wait! Maybe he could tattoo the beard for ultimate douchebaggery.

I agree, I don't mind Prince.
He did some pretty decent shred back in the Purple Rain days.
And anyone who writes Darling Nikki is ok by me.
Tate....hmmph, I still wish the drummer would have shoved a cymbal stand up his a$$ when he spit at him.

I've heard sound clips and of course nowhere near a metal record. More alternative like Dedicated to Chaos or hard rock like something Aerosmith would put out. Sure Jeff you really brought the *metal*.

All said very entertaining to watch the whole drama play out.
