Geoff Tate in the early years of his career had wicked power, range and control. Chris DeGarmo is an awesome guitarist with an acute sense for melody. Queensryche had many great songs and a few good albums.
I agree ..Geoff Tate took my hand during a concert in a small club in Baltimore back in 85 .. It was during " Take Hold of The Flame " climbed up and stayed with me during the entire lead .. The Road to Madness is good long song filled with the slow and the intense
Do "queen of the ryche" next, want to see your reaction on his opening scream, and may I recommend you start going with the metal chic look, leather jacket & ripped jeans & a cropped up band shirt, I think you'd rock that look 🤘
It is the best song on Empire. The guitar sound on that song mimics the guitar sound on much of the Led Zeppelin album Presence. Listen to Achilles Last Stand and see if you don’t agree.
And would you believe this was a $200 demo recorded at 3am after the band members got off work flipping burgers.. this was never meant for public consumption.. but the record label decided this zero budget demo was so good they published it anyway.. and it became a metal classic as is!!
I listened to them throughout the 80's. The album Empire really drew my attention to these guys. Back in the day, and still now I'd buy my band t-shirts at the concerts. Along with the ticket stub it was my proof that I actually went to the concerts. Other, than maybe record shops or winning one from a radio station contest, they didn't sell them in stores. You could only get them at the show.
You gotta do Eyes Of A Stranger, it’s like their signature song. The studio version though, not live. The way he sings that chorus is what made me a fan
As a whole, Roads to Madness is my favorite because of its epic quality, but for songs with vocals "dripping with emotion", Anybody Listening? is my favorite. Make sure to listen to the full version on the album, and not the edited (shortened) MTV version.
I was 10 when this 4 song EP came out in 1983 and my brother bought the cassette. It was way ahead of it's time! These guys were a huge influence in the metal/prog scene for 10 years after that!
Watch this woman being transported to some other place, the expression on her face changes @2:16 and it literally carries her there . . . .you can not fake that ladies and gentlemen , well you can but you can always tell, everything we think and everything we fell is always written on our faces in some small way whether we realize or not.
Next,,,, you need to do their Operation Mindcrime album.... Yep the WHOLE ALBUM,,, it is a masterpiece ! It is a concept album in and is quite possibly THE BEST EVER MADE
On a lonely walk this morning A light mist in the air Dark clouds laughing at me in silence Casting shadows through my hair In the distance I saw a woman Dressed in black with eyes of grey She wore her pain like a shackled spirit Eternal life was her debt to pay The lady wore black It's the sign of the prisoners lives The lady wore black See the years through the tears in her eyes The lady wore black Her mystic powers calling me The lady wore black Her love can set me free The wind song whispered a warning Telling me to beware Of the quiet shadowed woman And of the sadness I would share We sat for sometime together in silence Never speaking in words Of all her thoughts she spoke with her eyes And I listened remembering all I heard The lady wore black It's the sign of the prisoners lives The lady wore black See the years through the tears in her eyes The lady wore black Her mystic powers calling me The lady wore black Her love can set me free The words she spoke were of forgotten lives And of all knowledge gained Mem'ries I had and didn't know why With a smile she explained I should have listened to the wind's cold warning And walked the other way I touched her soul and now I bear her sentence But for her love I'll gladly pay The lady wore black It's the sign of the prisoners lives The lady wore black See the years through the tears in her eyes The lady wore black Her mystic power calls to me The lady wore black Her love can set me free
Where to start... I have a vinyl copy of their EP ON 206 Records before they were signed to EMI. Very rare and hard to find. I have a promotional vinyl copy of The Warning and the set list off the stage from Operation Mindcrime... you wanna hear them at their best? Listen to Roads To Madness and Child Of Fire off The Warning record.
what i noticed about Queenryche ...is the leads in their songs never overpower the overall theme of the song...their leads seems perfect for their songs
You just heard one of the very first Prog Metal songs. Back in 1983, Queensryche and Fates Warning invented a new form of Metal called Progressive or Prog Metal. This is a perfect example of why it is a superior style of music.
Tate was not even a committed member of the band when this was recorded and released, he was simply a hired vocalist, it was only after the EP took off and the band was offered a recording contract that Tate joined as a member.
They gave something different to the early 80s metal scene...not your typical lyrical material for that decade...shades of Black Sabbath in the writing, but with that early 80s metal sound, and of course Tate's amazing vocals. If you like this then you definitely need to check out "Queen of the Reich" from this same 1982 EP. The reached their peak, to me, with Operation: Mindcrime in 1988 ("I Don't Believe In Love" and "Eyes of a Stranger" are masterpieces).
Chris was fantastic as were two other Prog Metal guitarists I find slightly better, Jim Matheos of Fates Warning and the most underrated Metal guitarist of alltime, Criss Oliva of Savatage. But Chris is right up with them, which says a ton about his ability. Plus he was their best backing vocalist and wrote a ton of their lyrics, as well.
Suite Sister Mary yes, but Eyes Of A Stranger absolutely not. For Eyes Of A Stranger, you go with the regular studio version. The way he sings the chorus live is a downgrade from the way he does it on the record. And that chorus is arguably the driving force of the song.
Its pronounced ..."Queens Rike"....lol I need a cutie like you...lol..you make us all go round...you ARE the lady....JET CITY WOMAN......my fav by them......please react to it gorgeous
umm, if you look the band up on wikipedia it has the pronunciation key there, c'mon, it's the least that can be done. I think it actually even has a small recording of it being pronounced.
This woman is me in female version!
Her energy and her excitement
great video young lady !
Your excitement I completely recognize
The genius and incredible talent of this great band Queensryche. Geoff Tate is a legend! His voice is just Amazing!!!
Geoff Tate in the early years of his career had wicked power, range and control. Chris DeGarmo is an awesome guitarist with an acute sense for melody. Queensryche had many great songs and a few good albums.
DeGarmo had the high background vocal that was almost as high as Tate
The best Queensryche song is ROADS TO MADNESS.
yessir!!!
I agree ..Geoff Tate took my hand during a concert in a small club in Baltimore back in 85 .. It was during " Take Hold of The Flame " climbed up and stayed with me during the entire lead .. The Road to Madness is good long song filled with the slow and the intense
I want that played at my funeral :)
Its an epic Geoff Tate masterpiece!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I agree! Very epic song!!
Girl this band was amazing.. This came out on a 4 song ep.. I was in high school it is awesome 🤟🏻🤟🏻🤟🏻
Anybody listening would be a good one to do next from them.
That's one of my favorites. I also like The Killing Words and Gonna Get Close To You from their older stuff.
Both from Rage for Order, a highly underrated CD! One of their best!
Do "queen of the ryche" next, want to see your reaction on his opening scream, and may I recommend you start going with the metal chic look, leather jacket & ripped jeans & a cropped up band shirt, I think you'd rock that look 🤘
Loved your reaction! You are a rocker at heart!
Queensryche,,, rhymes with queenslike.
Pronounced just like "QueensRyke"
In infrared is a great song one of my favorites. Keep up the Great reactions.
"Jet City Woman" is fantastic. One of my all-time favorite songs!
It is the best song on Empire. The guitar sound on that song mimics the guitar sound on much of the Led Zeppelin album Presence. Listen to Achilles Last Stand and see if you don’t agree.
MORE QUEENSRYCHE!!!
When this EP came out everyone who loved metal knew they were so far ahead of the other bands. It was a game changer.
I loved your reaction! Great vocalist, great song, great band. Good luck with your music! Peace.
Glad to see you're using studio cuts, not live shows. Studio cuts show the performer's capabilities better than live shows.
You rock!
One of my all-time favorite Queensryche songs! You’re absolutely right, Fire!!! 🔥
Nice taste in music! This was a pleasant surprise... did not expect it.
So happy you reacted to this great song! It is very underrated in my opinion.
Queensryche roads to Madness live. Please.
One of my, if not my, favorite Queensryche song right up there with Take Hold Of The Flame, Queen Of The Ryche, Eyes Of A Stranger, and so on...
And would you believe this was a $200 demo recorded at 3am after the band members got off work flipping burgers.. this was never meant for public consumption.. but the record label decided this zero budget demo was so good they published it anyway.. and it became a metal classic as is!!

I love your reaction to The Lady Wore Black, rock on Lady In Gray, 😀💕
I love the way she rocks queenswryche . Awesome !
My favorite song from these guys....
Respect to you for playing this song.
It really shows you did some research on Queensryche . You really dug deep .
Salute,!
Next,,,, you need to do their Operation Mindcrime album.... Yep the WHOLE ALBUM,,, it is a masterpiece ! It is a concept album in and is quite possibly THE BEST EVER MADE
Yes!!!!!!
Their best album.
Absolutely!!!
Loved watching you thrash out to this great song. Keep up the good reviews
On a lonely walk this morning
A light mist in the air
Dark clouds laughing at me in silence
Casting shadows through my hair
In the distance I saw a woman
Dressed in black with eyes of grey
She wore her pain like a shackled spirit
Eternal life was her debt to pay
The lady wore black
It's the sign of the prisoners lives
The lady wore black
See the years through the tears in her eyes
The lady wore black
Her mystic powers calling me
The lady wore black
Her love can set me free
The wind song whispered a warning
Telling me to beware
Of the quiet shadowed woman
And of the sadness I would share
We sat for sometime together in silence
Never speaking in words
Of all her thoughts she spoke with her eyes
And I listened remembering all I heard
The lady wore black
It's the sign of the prisoners lives
The lady wore black
See the years through the tears in her eyes
The lady wore black
Her mystic powers calling me
The lady wore black
Her love can set me free
The words she spoke were of forgotten lives
And of all knowledge gained
Mem'ries I had and didn't know why
With a smile she explained
I should have listened to the wind's cold warning
And walked the other way
I touched her soul and now I bear her sentence
But for her love I'll gladly pay
The lady wore black
It's the sign of the prisoners lives
The lady wore black
See the years through the tears in her eyes
The lady wore black
Her mystic power calls to me
The lady wore black
Her love can set me free
Does every room in your house have a bottle of 409 in the back ground?
LOL. that's why I nicknamed her 409..
Gorgeous woman!
I love that you are noticing all the right things, the things that stand out about this band. Shows that you have a very good ear.
Where to start... I have a vinyl copy of their EP ON 206 Records before they were signed to EMI. Very rare and hard to find. I have a promotional vinyl copy of The Warning and the set list off the stage from Operation Mindcrime... you wanna hear them at their best? Listen to Roads To Madness and Child Of Fire off The Warning record.
One of my favs. Rock on
Wish u saw them live. It was awesome.
what i noticed about Queenryche ...is the leads in their songs never overpower the overall theme of the song...their leads seems perfect for their songs
I love watchin people just not expecting much and having their doors blown clean off !
Definitely all hail the queen...the real Queen Scribe with the number one song and album IMHO!
Blessed are you among all metalheads,and blessed is the fruit of your throat: ¡Queensryche!
You just heard one of the very first Prog Metal songs. Back in 1983, Queensryche and Fates Warning invented a new form of Metal called Progressive or Prog Metal. This is a perfect example of why it is a superior style of music.
Suite Sister Mary would be a great one to react to.
Yep... the official live video with Pamela Moore onstage with him.
ua-cam.com/video/8CZGion20E4/v-deo.html
@@reppost best version there
Spreading the disease.. it would break her
@@ivanboston8582 Maybe not the right song for these times. lol
Very underrated song!
The Operation Mindcrime album has some of Queensryches best work. A compilation album like The Wall.
This is Queensryche best
My favorite Queensryche song of all time. And I like woman in the dress graphic for the video thumbnail. Very fitting! 😄🖤
🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥 Anything from their operation mind crime album is killer! It’s a concept album and tells a great story.
SO GOOD!GREAT MAYBE THE BEST
Tate was not even a committed member of the band when this was recorded and released, he was simply a hired vocalist, it was only after the EP took off and the band was offered a recording contract that Tate joined as a member.
The live version will blow you away , NO QUESTION ABOUT IT !
YOU CAN'T DO THAT LIVE . . . . .they said :)
A very good band Scribe , great selection 🤘🤘
Listen Road to Madness
my Fave Ryche Track. Geoff poppin on this.
I'll probably never listen to your album. But I'll buy it because I think you're awesome
They gave something different to the early 80s metal scene...not your typical lyrical material for that decade...shades of Black Sabbath in the writing, but with that early 80s metal sound, and of course Tate's amazing vocals. If you like this then you definitely need to check out "Queen of the Reich" from this same 1982 EP. The reached their peak, to me, with Operation: Mindcrime in 1988 ("I Don't Believe In Love" and "Eyes of a Stranger" are masterpieces).
Love you and your reactions. You need a black with neon green letters of Queensryche hoodie !! By the way Queensryche is favorite band !!
Back in the day you painted band logos on the back of your Levi's jacket
If you like this one, you'll probably enjoy their Jet City Woman.
You got a new subscription based on the best metal face I've seen in a long time. 🤘🤘
It’s pronounced Queensrÿche like Queensrike, however thank you for checking this awesome band out, one of my all time favorite bands from Seattle
These dudes where like 16 or 17 when they wrote this stuff, one of my all time favs.
You have to do Queen of the Reich.
My favorite Queensryche (Queens Rike) song...
Pronounced: Queens Rike
yep......
I was just wondering about that, im wondering if its to distance themselves from the nazi Reich spelling. 🤔
Great review and Chris De Garmo was the guitarist smoking on that lead with Michael Wilton. Two of the best in the business.
Chris was fantastic as were two other Prog Metal guitarists I find slightly better, Jim Matheos of Fates Warning and the most underrated Metal guitarist of alltime, Criss Oliva of Savatage. But Chris is right up with them, which says a ton about his ability. Plus he was their best backing vocalist and wrote a ton of their lyrics, as well.
Check out "warning" by Queensryche. Pronounced like queensrike
Absolute Fucking Fire
I am sorry for commenting back to back to back but my last one , your voice is pretty amazing ,
The rabbit hole goes really deep if you listen to lyrics lyrics are a riddle and you have to be smart to be able to solve them.
Live version of Suite Sister Mary.
@ScribeCash Are there any bands you started listening to after you discovered them on here?
Honesty only, please
Geoff Tates voice is awesome! Another good band to check out is WASP. The Idol is a good place to start.
You should check out the MTV Unplugged version of this track; so beautiful...👌
''Eyes of a stranger'' and ''Suite Sister Mary'' from ''Operation: LiveCrime''
Suite Sister Mary yes, but Eyes Of A Stranger absolutely not. For Eyes Of A Stranger, you go with the regular studio version. The way he sings the chorus live is a downgrade from the way he does it on the record. And that chorus is arguably the driving force of the song.
React to Aldo Nova “Fantasy,” That’s a dope song that everyone forgets to request.
Whatever color you wear, you wear it well.
Next ....Jet City Woman!!!!
Sweetheart, check out the rage for order album many many great songs 👏🔥💯👍
Oh and stank face at its best👍👍👍👍🤟🏻🤟🏻🤟🏻🤟🏻
Eyes of a stranger off operation mind crime a great one
Do their song " SUITE SISTER MARY " the Operation LIVECRIME is a MUST.. you as a female singer will appreciate the duet
One of my favs... Your a total babe btw
If you do this one you have to play Eyes of a Stranger next. Or Take Hold of the Flame.
Good choices. I would add, I Don’t Believe in Love, Jet City Woman and Walk in the Shadows.
Its pronounced ..."Queens Rike"....lol I need a cutie
like you...lol..you make us all go round...you ARE the lady....JET CITY WOMAN......my fav by them......please react to it gorgeous
Might wanna check out Band Maid. Songs: Thrill or Take Me Higher
Should I dare say, Silent Lucidity.
Queens -Rike, like I put in the note on the PayPal gift to ya :)
Queensryche - Before The Storm
Gah damn you fine as hell. Great reaction. I still get goose bumps from that song and I remember when it came out..
umm, if you look the band up on wikipedia it has the pronunciation key there, c'mon, it's the least that can be done. I think it actually even has a small recording of it being pronounced.
Operation livecrime!!!
She was a vampire
If you are looking for something similar, then Dreamer & Deceiver by Judas Priest is what I can't recommend enough.
Queens-“Rike” rhymes with bike
I was smart enough to get kicked off of Google 4/6 months for going down the rabbit hole.
Please try "QUEENSRYCHE
"
Self titled!!!💀
Geoff Tate would out sing you any day every day
Dat hair doe
Queensryche ( queens- rye- k
