Operation : Mindcrime , Whole album
but no reaction needed...just f'n LISTEN to it!!!
100% agree
@@arto2533 would love to see them react to it tbh :D
@@vaggelispapadopoulos3507 would be too long a video for most viewers. :) Besides, it takes a few spins to really get how awesome the album is anyway.
@@arto2533 well they can make parts plus I think they will get it
Queensryche is a must. One of the greatest bands ever.
Ive seen them 7 times!!!
That whole Empire album is a classic. Same goes for the Operation: Mindcrime album
Definitely. I purchased the CD when it came out after seeing Silent Lucidity on MTV and was blown away. I immediately went about acquiring their entire catalog up till Empire. Blown away each time. Still listen to them regularly. The original lineup was supremely talented. Also was lucky enough to see them live during their Promised Land tour at the Target Center with Type O Negative opening. Great show.
Totally agree with you. True masterpiece and very underrated in many ways. With the amazing voice of Geoff Tate and the great guitar riffs of Chris De Garmo and all the band made this album together with Operation Mindcrime a cristal perfect picture of how really politics works.
AAAAH.........!!, YEAH..............!!, YOU ARE ABSOLUTELY 100%. PERCENT CORRECT MY BRUH😎............!!. THOSE ALBUMS WERE THEIR ONE ☝️.....!!, SELLER ALBUMS BACK. IN THE ROCK 🪨 ROLL DAYS IN THE 1980’s & 1990’s BRUH 😎🇺🇸
Take hold of the flame. Live at Tokyo.
My mom (who is 64) heard me watch your reaction to this and asked me to crank it up. One of her fave bands.
Yes! Great song.
Now we need the full album reaction to Operation: Mindcrime
Can we now get the Queensryche - operation mind crime full album review???
I'm really looking forward to vin deconstructing mindcrime. He picked out the mkultra notes from eyes. The whole thing will open up such great conversation.
my fave album of all-time
great album, listened to it completely every day in college, but getting non fans to listen all the way through? sadly, unlikely. I wish more people got into QR.
AAAAAH........!!, YEAH...........!!, WELL..........!!, NOT GO DOWNLOAD IT BROTHER 😎.🇺🇸
In their prime, there were few bands who were this good.
I admit I thought they were a solid band but I never got one of their tapes/cds.
Their '91 tour was one of the best I have ever seen!
@@dirtpile man, I just watched Livecrime yesterday and really wished I could've seen that tour. Saw them open for Metallica a few years before but hardly the same...
Rush is certainly one of them.
Empire was the beginning of the end for Queensryche.
Vin and sori ,Geoff Tate( former lead singer of Queensryche) , is currently performing the ENTIRE Empire AND Rage for order albums back to back .you should get tickets ;when he comes to your area
Operation Mindcrime was one of the greatest rock albums of all time! One of the greatest albums of all time period!
These guys were totally original. They didn't belong to the glam scene where there was little or no talent or a genre of metal, and them grunge came along. They were just doing their own thing, killing it. Musical ability and one of the best male vocalists of all time!
Good call! I got that feeling !
You can probably put them in a progressive Metal category, like Dream Theater
@@johnstarace8369 It's a category Queensryche INVENTED!
I like how you guys talk about the lyrics and let the whole song play
We gotta get a reaction to Silent Lucidity next, I’ve been dying to see them do more Queensryche
One of the best metal albums and bands of all time!!!!!!!!!!
They're Prog rock...not metal.
Tomato, tomAto!!
@@cjdickey1650 Prog metal - those guitar tones are way too aggressive to call it rock.
Agreed.....since on Quarantine....should do Operation Midcrime Album review....Hell! Even Empire album kicks ASS!!!👍🤘🏻
Their 1st release EP..self-titled queensryche. Every song must listen.
Geoff Tate's vocals are absolutely amazing!
Jet city women Queensryche from this same record is great
Empire is one of the best albums from the eighties (yes, I know it was released in 1990, but let's not pretend there wasn't any carryover, lol). From the title track to songs like Silent Lucidity and Jet City Woman, it's a solid and worthwhile ride. It's also an album in the truest sense, a collection of smaller stories that, together, tell a larger one. These days, the term "concept album" is used because most releases are less cohesive as a whole.
Hentai Surprise carry over yes, but QR has always been way ahead of their time.
I had just watched your other Queensryche reaction Eyes of a Stranger yesterday. It randomly played after I watched another of your videos and I always liked that song. You kept mentioning the possibility of reacting to the whole album since its a concept album. I assumed that was not an option anymore. Maybe you could do one song a week or something from Mindcrime, in order obviously. I feel you two would really enjoy the process. Great Review.
A good idea. *Vin & Sori* pretty much did the whole _Ride the Lighting_ album song-by-song, and waaaaaaay too much *Metallica* in general anway, because _the facts aren't gonna change:_ The *first four* albums are indisputable *Classics.* The Nameless Black One is them selling out to Mainstream. _Load_ [of shite] and _Reload_ [of Shite] are *so* bad that even Metallica doesn't play those songs anymore. Not sure about the songs from _St. Anger_ except that it is Not a Good Album. _Death Magnetic_ was at least _attempting_ to return to glory, but didn't quite get there. _Hardwired..._ was *not worth an 8-year long wait.* Listening to more Metallica isn't going to change any of this, IT IS JUST TAKING AWAY FROM BANDS THAT HAVEN'T BEEN REACTED TO EVEN A SINGLE TIME, *FFS!*
Great song. Great album.
I thought the empire reference meant the growth of gangs building their own empires while the country spent its money on things other than law enforcement, etc.
Good one!
Empire is more about the build up on the war on drugs and the rise of the cartels....
Plus back in the 80's, the Clinton's and Biden spent money on more police to put black American's in prison and kept most of them inside longer than they should have spent inside. I remember that back then. And now Biden is the MAN NOW? SMH.
Great song and great review.
Anybody Listening from this same record is a must listen!
Check out Eyes of the Stranger by them. One of the best 80 song in my opinion.
Already done ua-cam.com/video/IWe0kp3jjKs/v-deo.html
@@mightyears8578 although the song alone, without the rest of the album, loses a bit of context (which you can see in their review).
Roads To Madness & No Sanctuary are even better.
@@mightyears8578 Unfortunately it wasn't the live version fron Operation Livecrime. The ending is insane!
He actually wrote the song in '88. It's about when they started dealing drugs in the U.S. And how the gov spent all that money on other shit. Instead of helping law enforcement in trying to take down the drug empire. One of my favs. Thank you sin and glory.
Of course they did. The government helped start the drug trade.
How do you think the CIA got that cash to the Contras?
Must see/listen....."Queen of the Reich" live in Japan. Geoff at his peak.
William Osborne I saw the Warning tour that year. QR opened for Kiss and pretty much took the show. Sacramento, CA
These dudes are like one of the forefathers of progressive metal.
Been wanting ya'll to do this song for a long time!! Queensryche was always great at being topical without being preachy. Hope to see ya'll do a reaction to "Resistance" from the same album.
I can appreciate “Empire” and your breakdown of the song. I was once “in the wrong place at the wrong time”, coming out of a movie theater Christmas night in 1989 (ironically just months before Empire was released. I was jumped by a gang in the parking lot. I was getting beaten so badly I didn’t feel the switchblade being stuck 4” in my back. It was initiation night and the guy trying to get into the gang had to kill a white boy. The police did nothing about it.
Queensryche- The Chase
Features a special guest that you two are very familiar with🙂
Queensryche was a very political Progressive metal band. I wasn't shocked to hear singer Geoff Tate calls himself a Socialist. The song Revolution Calling is essentially about the political revolution Bernie Sanders is calling for.
My favorite band ever! Their lyrics in ALL their songs are always so profound. God bless guys
Moonspell - Full Moon Madness
Moonspell - Night Eternal
My Dying Bride - The Wreckage of my Flesh
Anathema - Regret
Paradise Lost - Yearn for a Change
Forest of Shadows - Silent Cry
Katatonia - I'm nothing
Moonspell - Alma Mater
Lacuna Coil - When a deadman Walks
Anyone of those songs, please?
The song Promised Land by Queensryche is really something else.
The whole album is damn good.
"Someone else" is one of the best things that they've ever done.
I enjoy watching your reactions to some of my most favourite songs. Actually I get some extra info lot of times I wasn't aware of.
And off-topic: and every single time I am surprised how much Sori looks like Temperance of the hit serie Bones. Including facial expressions lol.
Anyway, keep up the reviews!
Great song!
Mindcrime album reaction.
One of the greatest albums of all time. The fist Mindcrime album.
Great reaction.......honest reaction. Thanks for sharing Vin
I think it's less about allocating $ to law enforcement, and more about diverting those funds into neighborhoods to improve quality of life.
I really dig Vin. He is a very "real" cat. He's not a fake plastic dude. He is very intelligent and humble man. Most young men are cocky -flamboyant - and self centered. Not him. He tells the truth on how he sees the world. I think he should start his own talk show. I guarantee it would be a huge success. Do it Vin!! Have Sori be your co-host side kick. The audience would love her!!
The song is talking about the Drug (Crack) epidemic that jumped off in the mid 80's and when it says Eastside meets Westside Downtown they are talking about the Gangs that were divided and set off against each other as each set were Fighting against each other for control of what block or what Territory that they are trying to defend against Rival Gangs or Law Enforcement.
The bottom line is that Queensryche went straight to the Streets for inspiration to make a record this song and I'm proud of them
Della brown is their sleeper track off that album in my opinion and my personal favorite. 🤘
Awesome reaction. Great sounding album. Don't have the link offhand, but there is a great video with an audio engineer breaking down the drum sound.
I like your Pantera home-video opening to your segment LOL
Interesting how things come back around, because here we are again.
My favorite band actually got to meet them. Still have the pictures.
God this song it seems so long ago when this came out but when I hear it it feels like yesterday
"Suite Sister Mary" do it please!
I could not click watch fast enough!!!
SAME!
Ohhhh man I can't wait for u guys to listen to the complete "Mindcrime" album. I got a feeling that will easily be an hour conversation between you guys. Or what might be cool is to do a reaction with a fireside immediately after the reaction video. Don't know if there are enough people interested in the idea but I do know Queensryche fans are uniquely loyal followers of the band especially those of us who grew up listening to their early music and going to see them opening for everyone from Kiss and AC/DC to Metallica and Iron Maiden to finally see them headline for the first time in 89 in San Jose on the last week of the Mindcrime tour. Hahaha Yup I'm old but I wouldn't trade those years for anything great job as always guys.
OBLIGATORY REQUEST #24
- Moonspell "Axis Mundi"
- Tiamat "The Scarred People"
- D.R.I. "Manifest Destiny"
The quality of production of the Empire album is insane.
One of my top ten album in my whole life, along with Rush' Moving Pictures and Ozzy's Trinute to Randy Rhoads, Iron Maiden's Life after Death.. it is that good.
Amazing band with a totally amazing singer. They were so underrated, and misunderstood. They were metals version of Rush...love that band, just check out their whole body of work!
Like Rage's Know Your Enemy, crazy how these lyrics mirror life right now. God damn I love this song, and like everyone else said, Operation Mindcrime is just brilliance
Cool how the song plays softly in the background during your commentary that is genius I would love to know whose idea that was I'm guessing Sori
The music of Queensryche is still relevant. In particular Empire and Operation: Mindcrime.
I love Vin’s life stories. Never a dull moment.
Queensryche's first self titled EP, The Warning, Rage For Order, Empire, and especially Operation Mindcrime are PHENOMENAL albums!! I agree with many here saying that you have to listen to the whole Operation Mindcrime album because it is a concept album. It is brilliantly written and it will make more sense listening to the whole album. In my opinion it is the greatest concept album ever. It is a MASTERPIECE!!!
QUEENSRYCHE Excellent As Always, Now Some Overkill!!!!!!
love this groove
You got to back farther the lady wore black, take hold of the flame. Theres so much more the farther back you go in their history. One of the best bands.
Wish more people would watch this entire video.
Wow. Check the time frame of the song and the world history involved at the time...
I used to jam this record when it was released...AWESOME!!! BEAGS
I forgot just how good this song is, Empire gets overshadowed by Mindcrime (rightly so, Mindcrime is EPIC), but really that album also stood on its own. If you want to get the full effect of Geoff's incredible vocal rang, you NEED (I implore you, even if you don't reach, you need to hear it) to listen to "Take Hold of the Flame."
Nice would love to hear a reaction to: spreading the disease, anybody listening, promised land!
V & S, you really should just do the whole of the previous album (Operation Mindcrime) from start to finish - it is an absolute masterpiece. This would be best done as a livestream event, so you can chat with everyone after each song about the lyrics and the story as it unfolds, and then finally ending with Eyes of a Stranger, which will be even more meaningful and impactful when you finally hear it in its actual context. Your fans would absolutely love it.
Thank you
Those drums. Gun shots
PLEASE listen to your viewers and experience the Operation:Mindcrime album. The most-frightening thing about it is how it’s as relevant today as it was then. If you need to listen to one song for a sample, it’s probably Spreading the Disease-more relevant-but it’s a concept album. You will have plenty to talk about and you will not be disappointed. It’s about a street punk and a sex abuse victim who get tricked into committing political murders for drugs. One of the great metal concept albums. One of the great metal albums, period.
Killer drums!!!
Queensryche - Operation Mindcrime whole album!
One of the best bands....great song...eof Tate amazing vocals....
Queensryche- screaming un digital or Road to madness
Like President Reagan said “ Power through Strength” unfortunately a strong military is extremely important to a countries self defense and sovereignty. In my opinion you can’t spend enough on a secure country, this is why, we live in the safest country in the world. Yes, we have had our share of terrorism but nothing like what other countries go through in a regular basis. Good reactions guys 🤘🤘
Safest country?? LMAO! Hold my Scandinavian beer will ya :D
Hi VinAnd Sori, check out the other side of Queensryche with their Orchestral rock ballad 'Silent Lucidity' a monster hit single from the Empire Album, heavily influenced by Pink Floyd, this is a song about the experience of Lucid Dreaming,
this is the best audio quality Lyric video I could find on youtube, drop this into youtube search:
Alberto França Queensrÿche - Silent Lucidity - 1990 - with lyrics
Been waiting for this one!
Not into pyramid schemes, but I love Queensryche. Thanks for doing a Queensryche tune other than Silent Lucidity... Peace!!!!
Geoff Tate is one of the best singers in metal take hold of the flame live in Japan shows his skill
From the debit EP until Promised Land these guys were at the one of the best bands in metal/hard rock.I know Mindcrime gets the accolades and Empire was multi platinum bit Rage for Order was a classic as well
Operation MINDCRIME is one of the best albums ever made! ✌️
@VinAnd Sori Are there any bands you started listening to after you first discovered them on here?
Honesty only, please
Roads to Madness.
I told you that you'd appreciate this one a couple of months ago. Geoff Tate and Chris DeGarmo wrote some absolutely amazing music together when they were still in the band. It wasn't the same after they left. If you'd like to listen to another one of their songs that is beautifully written but less invoking of bad memories you should check out Silent Lucidity. It's simply beautiful.
EMPIRE. great album. A solid fuckin 10. Not one bad SONG on here. . A heavy metal masterpiece. Saw this tour twice. Kick ass show. Love me some old school QUEENSRYCHE.
🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘
In this school year 1986 87 this is the budget they are talking about how at that time all the crime was out of control in the US and how little we were paying the police vs how much we spent on everything else
Very dark subject matter, but great instrumentality and totally rocking. Kinda reminded me of Judas Priest
loved the reaction, tnx guys. and i agree with the guys below, would really love to hear ur reaction to the full concept album operation:mindcrime. one of the greatest albums ever, with amazing lyrics...
Oh wow, I just realised they released a new album!
Iron Maiden - Infinite Dreams
This song is so timeless because, sad to say, this is true in just about every administration and seems to repeat over and over and over again.
Obviously in our current time and situation more money definitely needs to be spent on law enforcement, but what we need is back to the drawing board, and back to basics on training law enforcement better.
That being said, this song is a classic 80’s type rock/Metal song and one of my favorite Queensryche songs, great riff, good solo. This entire Empire album is awesome, this is one of those albums that require a total listen from beginning to end. Other highlights of this album are:
Jet City Woman
Silent Lucidity
Another Rainy Night
Best I Can
The Thin Line
Give some of these songs a listen
Stay cool and...
\m/ Stay Metal \m/
Wonder if getting the education fixed and not being screwed over in more or less every state, they wouldn't need large budget for the police. But then again, the Prison Corporation would probably complain on them for destroying jobs..
The Cold War had just ended the year before the album came out.
National defense spending was naturally still high.
Their whole point at the time (I think) was the financing would best be spent here.
No nation is REALLY a threat to the U.S., (especially with collapse of Soviet Union) and all that money would be better spent on bringing stability to a lot of U.S. cities/criticizing Government waste.
Anyway awesome band
Highly recommend "Live in Tokyo ('84)" video \m/ \m/
Will not be disappointed
Geoff's vocals were incredible
Need the classic, vintage, iconic official video Version.
vin, you need to hear five blocks to the subway by biohazard
Biohazard!!!
Retribution
Wrong Side Of The Tracks
Scarred For Life
Bobby Hambel & Billy Graziadei!
Schuler & Seinfeld
In the days of grunge Queenrÿche was one of the best metal voices from the wilderness
1986 we were still in the middle of the cold war with the Soviet Union.....because we spent that kind of money, we broke the Soviet Union. there is a huge difference between 1986 and 1990
