Tate is known for involving family members with his musical endeavors. His wife Susan worked for Queensrÿche’s fan club since 1997, served as the band’s assistant manager since 2001, and was band manager from 2005-2012. She is also the manager for Tate’s solo career. Stepdaughter Miranda has also run Queensrÿche’s fanclub. Guitarist Parker Lundgren joined the band of Tate’s solo project in the summer of 2008, while dating Miranda. In February 2009 he joined Queensrÿche, and on 18 July married Miranda, but they divorced about half a year later. Late 2009 and early 2010, Miranda was a go-go dancer with the Queensrÿche Cabaret. Daughter Emily sang a duet with her father on the song “Home Again” on the 2009 Queensrÿche album American Soldier and the ensuing tour, at age 12.

Tate attracted negative attention for spitting on and physically assaulting Wilton and Rockenfield before and during a show in São Paulo, Brazil, on April 14, 2012. Then, during a later show the Rocklahoma Festival on May 26, Tate commented to an unresponsive crowd “You guys suck,” which his bandmates, as well as some fans, felt was an insult, but Tate would later defend his actions by stating in a court declaration “I was not insulting the audience. I was trying to motivate or excite them.” He finds that this was used against him in the lawsuit: “It’s just something that the other guys [in the band] and their team of people are trying to twist into a ‘Geoff doesn’t respect the fans’ type of thing.” He elaborated on that in an interview, saying: “I say that stuff all the time, you know. It’s part of being a front man, you know. You got to motivate the audience, you know. And I say things to get people motivated. I think… I say things to push people’s buttons to get them to react. It’s part of a performance. But if you’re in a lawsuit, of course, these things get taken out of context and put into a new format. I guess the objective is to make me look like I don’t care about the fans. Which is unfortunate.”
