And the backup vocals are no slouch, either. This band was criminally underrated. I feel like they got lost under the hype of mid-80s new wave and then bands like GnR, and Empire was released right when grunge was introduced to us in the 90s. Empire was one of my fave albums my freshman year of high school, but I was definitely paying more attention to Nirvana, RHCP, Soundgarden, Smashing Pumpkins and the like.
Well, seems like you never try prog-rock. QR is just another heavymetal-like band, there is 1 million others. There is not many differences with all of them.
Vocalist has unique voice, yes, Chris DeGarmo is epic, but this band is mediocre at best, no one's remember their name in 2024. Cause there is no musical evolution the their history. This is not progressive band at all. Very commercial band.
@@yemahockThat's the great thing about music. You are entitled to your (wrong) opinion. Operation: Mindcrime is one of the greatest albums of all time, including the ancient builders of pyramids.
This guy is such a great singer. I am 41 and I am disabled . I have so much trouble with my mental health and everything else, too. This song is how I feel. I feel the music. I could listen to rock music 24/7!!! Rock on.
Amen. Mindcrime warned us about the political turmoil unfolding today. Problem is, the textbook definition of anarchy apparently went right over some people's heads.
Can't believe it's been 32 years. Empire was the fantastic soundtrack to my life in the summer of 1991. The music of this superlative band will forever be burned into my consciousness and my soul.
This song is so good it sounds better and more powerful than back in the day..I never had this CD yet hearing it all summer long in "91 especially at the old Marquee in Garden Grove CA between bands blaring on the house PA...!
I think maybe it was just here in the U.S. that it was underrated. 🤨 According to Wikipedia, "Queensrÿche has sold over 20 million albums worldwide, including over 6 million albums in the United States." We bought less than a 1/3 of them? 🤨
@@swordmonkey6635 i was in 3rd grade when i first heard of queensryche. mtv debuted the video for empire and i was hooked. i bought the cassette tape and used to walk all over my town playing empire in my walkman. it's definitely one of my favorites!
Art as definite as Van Goh's paintings ahh yes it's like an audiophonic genuine piece of art. They don't call signed bands recording artists for nothing....!
I’m so happy my father had me listening to these guys before I could even walk. He told me that when I was a baby I couldn’t sleep at night unless he put on silent lucidity. I’m going to have my sons listen to this and keep this kind of music living on
Well I did the same thing My kids were baptized in music But these guys went deeper Giving us life lessons and wisdom of our human nature and the world at large
Silent Lucidity is an even more incredible song if you have the ability to lucid dream. I've done it. Not every day. What a thoughtful and insightful band!
Well... Dream Theater was heavily influenced by Queensryche's' music. Now, I'm not saying they're the same as Queensryche, but they're in the same genre. And they're just as awesome.
Idnic Tsal Never said they were alike. I said that they're the same genre. Queensryche is progressive metal, which is a genre that they pioneered; Dream Theater's main influence is Queensryche. If you listen to Dream Theater's earlier songs you'll see. James Labrie's vocal style is quite similar to Geoff Tate's.

50 also... Do you remember reading George Orwell's "1984" in high school? We are living in his prediction. No one seems the transformation. Conditioned generation by generation...
I'm sure all Queensryche songs are relevant and everybody's life the whole life not just when they first heard the song but now so I think it's relevant completely in life least people can sing about how other people feel and that's pretty hard if you ask me but you're not on you? 🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘🖤🖤🖤🖤🖤🖤🤯🤯🤯🤯🤯☠️☠️☠️☠️☠️☠️☠️☠️☠️☠️☠️☠️☠️☠️☠️🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘
1984 indeed! Seeing more truth drops in our generations music than ever. Where do songs come from? They're stream of conscious. We're living in a time where news is fake and movies are real. A small group of friends have COVID-1984 t-shirts!
LOVE..... Empire album! Sadly, Silent Lucidity reminds me of my 31 yr old brother, “Leaving the game of life” committing suicide due to depression. May, he Rip always and forever. 🙏🏻💕 He was a Wonderful person and brother - my “favorite brother” I miss him so much! 😢
I am 65 years old and I love this band have a tattoo on my arm of cross on cd but this song should be we should all listen to the US is falling apart and nobody is listening 😮
I've listened to Is Anybody Listening...70 times in the past week and a half. I can't get enough of it. I go to bed singing it .wake up singing it. In Love!!
In 1990, while the New Kids on the Block gathered all the airplay, music like this was running in my family. God I love my dad, uncle and cousin who introduced me to this shit before I was even a teen.
I had an older brother who introduced me to the music of the 80's while my parents preferred the music of the 50's and 60's. I guess I got the best of both worlds. I stumbled upon queensryche by accident when watching MTV one day as an 11 year old (early 1991). It was when one band a week would host an hr of music throughout that week. Geoff didn't catch my eye first, it was Michael wilton and (no joke on this as I remember it like it was yesterday) in the background was Eddie Jackson on sort of fake horse trying to wrangle it.
Omg This Man Has One Of The Best Vocal Voice I've Ever Heard.. So Magical Beautiful Powerful WOW And The Song Is So Beautiful Touching Filled With Strong Power SUPER EXCELLENT
Sorry go back to great rock and roll if the 60’,s and 70s. Really love this song and his vocals along with a great guitar riff, but the bands then were the fathers of all the rock bands that followed. But man I love his voice. Oh and I’m a baby boomer, late 50’s when they could hold their audience with great music like Queensryche, no auto tune or back up dancers. Just one old dudes opinion
This song is so hauntingly beautiful. Geoff Tate's vocal is absolutely amazing and the harmonies with DeGarmo are just as gorgeous!! CD was a superb songwriter. I miss the original Queensryche line up so much! They were fantastic!!
I have never heard a vocalist better than Geoff Tate from any other mainstream artist. Queensryche was a band I could disappear to during my hard childhood. Thank you for sharing your art Queensryche. You'll never understand how you was there for me.
There are many great vocalist out there obviously robert plant and lead singer of white snake. David Riverdale. Lead singer for shine down. All amazing.
I was working on a frustrating job project in July of 2017 and spontaneously posted this song on a social media post. It was answered by the most beautiful woman in the world, and we have since had a beautiful baby boy ALL BECAUSE of this amazing song. Thank you Queensryche!!!
I couldn't agree more. These guys had it ALL!! Nobody could touch them, the original lineup. They had a sound like no other. They were the best, ever. Miss them dearly.💔😪
He has a very smooth voice but can still hit the high notes as well as the deep ones by far one of the best in the business wish they could fix there issues and get back together so we could enjoy more music
I'm 40 years old and I've been listening to Queensrhyce for just a year now, and I think how they make these songs more meaningful than what they sound like, not the lyrics, but the choice of tone and the way they set the tempo, is really interesting!!
Geoff Tate is mesmerizing in this video. This is such a perfect song. No-one else could ever do this song justice. He's got the voice and the charisma to carry it off. What a beautiful space in time.
that is truth and that's why I am so sorry for the the next will never be able to get to enjoy these songs that are so pure and and a group that is truly clean and real
Such a great song and such a great voice!! I know it's all about the song, but proud to say that I was given the opportunity to work on this video with director, Matt Murray. The video incorporated footage from a concert in Spokane and outdoors in WA and a studio in Los Angeles (Compton), CA. WOW, 5M views!
this song takes me back to my teenage years.... vividly..sitting in my room...shutting out all the crap and listening to queensryche..what a band they once were...
The lyrics,the lyrics!!! Think!!! This song is soo important especially these days! "Read between the lines, criticize the words they're selling!" "Think for yourself!" Absolutely beautiful ❤️🤟
Hands down THE greatest live band I've ever seen ...first time was in 88 when they opened for metallica believe me I had been to many shows before this but these guys were the real deal great fucking every time
This is a masterpiece!!! The lyrics are so powerful and Geoff Tate singing them makes it so easy to get lost in the song. I am a fan of Queensryche from way back and always will be.
Yes, Geoff. Many have been listening, have seen what's going on. Continue to see the light. At all costs. Just know that some light can never be "seen".
Geoff Tate, Jeff Kieth, Sebastian Bach, and Stephen Pearcy were, and still are, some of my favorite vocalists. Geoff Tate, of course, takes it to a whole new level!
Saw these kids open up for Kiss in St Louis way back in the 80's, had no idea who they were, but when Geoff hit those notes that only a few have ever hit, I was blown away...the headline at the time for them was of course the legendary...TaKE HOLD OF THE FLAME! You just knew they were on their way to superstardom, and man they did not disappoint! My oh my...saw them 5 times over the next two decades and they never disappointed live, always exceeding expectations in the studio....Operation Mindcrime, and Empire have to be two of the best heavy metal albums I ever owned, and anyone who says this is not heavy metal, never sawed them live! Peace!
That's cool.....yeah I saw them open for AC/DC in Sacramento in 1986 and I was blown away. I became a fan instantly. Rage for Order became my "soundtrack" for my Senior year in high school. Operation Mindcrime became my soundtrack for my sophomore year in college, and Empire became the soundtrack for my Senior year in college. This particular song "Anybody Listening?" is a beautiful song.
This was the first Queensryche song I ever heard. I was stunned by it's beauty and power. From the Empire album I went backwards to their beginnings and was amazed at the quality of the music, vocals, and lyrics! Decades later I'm STILL amazed! And they're still my favorite band in the universe. I've seen then live and met them many times, and was so impressed every time!!

Geoff Tate sings really well, too! 😉
NO ONE sounds like him! I've never heard anyone I like better than him!
And the backup vocals are no slouch, either. This band was criminally underrated.

hey..why don't you all stop arguing and just appreciate Queensryche.. there will never be another band like this!!!
SO TRUE :-)
Well... Dream Theater was heavily influenced by Queensryche's' music. Now, I'm not saying they're the same as Queensryche, but they're in the same genre. And they're just as awesome.
+DismalShadow please. Listened to a song of theirs and bro. No comparison to Geoff Tate.
DismalShadow and I also saw them twice at House of Blues-and in my opinion DT and QR sound nothing alike

Geoff Tate, Jeff Kieth, Sebastian Bach, and Stephen Pearcy were, and still are, some of my favorite vocalists. Geoff Tate, of course, takes it to a whole new level!
Saw these kids open up for Kiss in St Louis way back in the 80's, had no idea who they were, but when Geoff hit those notes that only a few have ever hit, I was blown away...the headline at the time for them was of course the legendary...TaKE HOLD OF THE FLAME! You just knew they were on their way to superstardom, and man they did not disappoint! My oh my...saw them 5 times over the next two decades and they never disappointed live, always exceeding expectations in the studio....Operation Mindcrime, and Empire have to be two of the best heavy metal albums I ever owned, and anyone who says this is not heavy metal, never sawed them live! Peace!
Rockenfield and Jackson are the tightest rhythm section ever. I have never seen them live; those two alone must be amazing in concert.
🤘🤘🤘🤘
That's where I first saw them. The Warning had just been released. Awesome concert.
That's cool.....yeah I saw them open for AC/DC in Sacramento in 1986 and I was blown away. I became a fan instantly. Rage for Order became my "soundtrack" for my Senior year in high school. Operation Mindcrime became my soundtrack for my sophomore year in college, and Empire became the soundtrack for my Senior year in college. This particular song "Anybody Listening?" is a beautiful song.
@@nathanritzo2228 What a shame.
They...the original 5 were amazing.
I saw them so many times...I lost count.
This Cat is an amazing vocalist
This was the first Queensryche song I ever heard. I was stunned by it's beauty and power. From the Empire album I went backwards to their beginnings and was amazed at the quality of the music, vocals, and lyrics! Decades later I'm STILL amazed! And they're still my favorite band in the universe. I've seen then live and met them many times, and was so impressed every time!!
Great band where the quality just oozes out naturally
They put on a fantastic show live also! Super impressive!
Best song on the album. A seven minute masterpiece.
Bad ass band... One of the best vocals I heard including Milijenko.
Geoff Tate's Voice is just top period. Love to hear him sing.
Likely the best band ever formed. Too bad so many missed out on this.
Geoff's voice is truly amazing!!! I've been listening to Queensryche for decades and I never get enough of the music !!!!!
The height of their power. They never recovered from Chris leaving.
Queensryche are/were true artists.....the feeling in this song, the beauty, the emotions.....fantastic!!!!
These lyrics still crush everyone today and speak volume of the insight the Ryche had....beyond it's time....
