GEOFF TATE ‘Would Like To Learn How To Cook More’: ‘I Love Food. I Love To Eat.’
Former Queensrÿche frontman Geoff Tate has revealed he would like to spend more time learning to cook, describing his culinary skills as "terrible" despite his enthusiasm for fine dining. He made the comments during an appearance on the KLOS radio show "Whiplash", hosted by Full Metal Jackie, when asked what creative pursuits he might explore given more free time at home.
Tate explained that his musical career has never required him to be in one place, noting that his newly released album "Operation: Mindcrime III" was recorded across roughly 14 countries, including a French castle and a cabin near the North Pole. He compared cooking to composing music, saying both involve mixing elements together with an understanding of underlying "chemistry", and expressed admiration for Michelin-starred chefs. The album, produced by Disturbed bassist John Moyer, marks guitarist Kieran Robertson's recording debut with Tate, and continues the story from Queensrÿche's acclaimed 1988 concept album "Operation: Mindcrime".

Explained simply
Geoff Tate is an American singer best known as the former frontman of Queensrÿche, a heavy metal band. He is also known for Operation: Mindcrime, the band’s 1988 concept album, which tells a connected story through its songs.
Tate has continued making music since leaving Queensrÿche, including a series of albums that carry on the Operation: Mindcrime story. His career often involves recording and touring in different places, so the idea of spending more time at home connects to a broader question about what he might do outside music.
Cooking and music both involve combining elements to create something, though they require different skills. Tate’s interest in food and admiration for fine dining offer a glimpse of a personal pursuit beyond his work as a singer and songwriter.
