Geoff Tate's Split with Queensryche

After leaving Queensryche in 2012, Geoff Tate and his former bandmates were involved in a legal battle over the Queensryche name. Tate toured with a band under Geoff Tate's Queensryche from 2012-2014.  Following the settlement, Tate was granted exclusive performance rights to the classic Queensryche album Operation: Mindcrime and his former bandmates retained all rights to the Queensryche name. Geoff Tate formed the band Operation: Mindcrime in 2014 along with Disturbed bassist John Moyer and former AC/DC drummer Simon Wright, which saw different lineup changes.
