    Awesome, "Anybody Listening?" is one of my most favorite Queensrÿche songs! 💖 I went to high school with Geoff and we became good friends our senior year and for a several years after but slowly lost touch and we haven't talked in a few decades.

      WHHHHHHAAAAATTTTT????? 😵🤯 That's amazing!! Imagine being able to say "I was friends with the singer of Silent Lucidity"? Oh wait, you don't have to imagine!! Hopefully I will get a video up someday of me singing it, I've loved singing that one since it came out. Glad I reacted to one of your favorite QR songs today. I've loved the few that I've heard here, especially Suite Sister Mary!

      Haha, I was just thinking the same thing. Until I'm 6 feet under, I still have a chance to finally record and post my own music to UA-cam! Hopefully sooner than later... I've actually posted 1 of my songs here, but it's really short. I need people to hear how good (or bad) my music sounds haha....

    Such memories. My farvorite band (well that lineup). Little did I know was the stepping stone to prog rock/metal for me. Love the nuances and production. Sadly producer Peter Collins just passed last week. Great work as usual. Please consider more prog Fates Warning, Dream Theater, more Camel. ect..i know you meed 70-90s though.. glad you stuck around for the.......... Bang.

      Hello again Bobb! Glad you enjoy this awesome band. I'm itching to sing Silent Lucidity and put it here on the channel. I LOVE that masterpiece of a song so much since it was first released. Never heard of Fates Warning, but I've had multiple people remind me how good Dream Theater is, so I'm sure they will debut on the channel eventually. Camel always excellent of course, so they are on permanent rotation here no doubt! Thanks so much for watching 🙂

    Hi Brandon. Good, but a bit heavy for me. You've said a few times you like the dark melancholic stuff. You've really got to get into IQ. I've mentioned 'Ever' in your time frame. The two last tracks are a gorgeous finish 'Leap of faith' and 'Came Down' particularly. You'll love it! (18+mins). There's a showing from 4 yrs ago on YT which adds on a banging live version of 'The Darkest Hour' (another 11 mins.) A lot is very Banksish and majestic.

    • @retroreactions....
      @retroreactions....  4 місяці тому

      @grahamharley4895 4 місяці тому +1

      I know you have my friend, memory's shot away. Only one I remember is Darkest hour from a while back. If you only do one, 'Came Down' has it all.

    • @retroreactions....
      @retroreactions....  4 місяці тому

      Hmmm... on Spotify "Came Down" is only about 6 minutes, not 18+. Are there 2 versions of the song?

    • @grahamharley4895
      @grahamharley4895 4 місяці тому +1

      Sorry Brandon, vino suspected... Yes 'Came down' only 6+mins. I include 'Leap of Faith' 7mins mainly because it runs into came down seamlessly. Good track though. 'Further Away' with a Genesis time signature developing in the middle as magnificent. At 15mins, a great stand alone piece?
      You'd do well with any combination. but for me 'Came Down' is the absolute star! Can't wait.

    • @retroreactions....
      @retroreactions....  4 місяці тому
