He did this song as an encore song after singing for two hours straight! This is live from 1984! No auto tuning pure talent!
And a number of people dump on his voice later on when comparing him to …a younger him! He was so insane that he set an impossible standard for himself in many people’s eyes.
I discovered his voice on the Promised Land album and fell in love with aspects other than his range. The insane highs in his earlier career were just a bonus. I say earlier, but there’s footage of him singing Queen of The Reich from like…this year or something and he knocks it outta the park.
@@j800r_aswell Yeah, Geoff certainly set the bar that not even HE could rise above. He is a legend!!
Yes it was
~~They must've threw in quite a few cover songs then? Considering that even if you added really extended guitar solo it might crack hour&20 min w/all the material they had at the time? (An EP&their debut album The Warning released not long after this show)
~~When in reality it's part of a 13 song set list in show just under a hour long that happens to be one of my more prized possessions which I've had since release.
Geoff Tate is the vocal G.O.A.T and it's not even close!
The song’s 38 years old and is still as fresh to me as the first time I heard it.
I feel the same. From the first time I heard it, I knew Geoff was the greatest Metal singer I had heard to that point. Now, in 2022, that assessment stays the same. This song is my prime example of why Geoff is the best ever.
Me to ! Supporting DIO! ‘84!
@@craighenry2351 absolutely correct.
@@bigscountrygame3510 If you were referring to the highest note in the song, that would be E5. E3 is E above middle C which is not all that impressive. Now the highest note on any recorded track would be at the end of blinded and that is a brief G5.
@@j800r_aswell E5! You’re right! Damn my sausage fingers! 😂
'The Warning' is a masterpiece of an album! Everyone is firing on all creative cylinders!
Except “Deliverance” showed why Whip typically doesn’t write lyrics. *cringe*
Riff was ok. Very generic maiden-esque, vocal melody was excellent (obviously, it was Geoff)…but my god those lyrics were awful lol.
The Warning was a great debut album. Rage For Order, Mindcrime, Empire and Promised Land were all better though. Although I admit, I prefer the weakest tracks on The Warning to the weakest tracks on Empire (Resistance and One and Only).
Want your mind blown? This was an ENCORE song!
This song along with Queen Of The Reich.
Guy said it, and followed by an even more powerful song in Queen of the Reich.
Also...he was only 25 when this was recorded.
Yes it was
😮. These guys were ridiculously good. There was nothing like waiting for a new QR album back in the day.
Geoff's aunt was an opera singer.
He was also a student of Maestro David Kyle who taught Ann Wilson (Heart) Layne Staley (Alice in Chains)
and Chris Cornell and likely all the singers in Seattle area
Supposably the story go Geoff's parents made him take Opera lessons when he was a kid and when he got a little older he kinda rebelled and wanted get back at his parents for making him take Opera lessons so he started a rock band queensrÿche and play for his parents and he thought his parents would be mad but when they heard them play they love it and they helped sponsor the band to supposedly Geoff parents are rich and when they went to the top the oldest member in queensrÿche was 16 years old but I got this information from the tabloids and other media sources so I got to check into this more to see if all that's true because a lot of media and tabloids like to exaggerate but I thought I'd throw that out there if you heard anything like that this was quite some time ago when I heard that so I been doing some research on this and haven't found anything more on this but I know I have to a hella of a lot more digging on the internet because of people changing the names of things or the meanings of words so it takes longer to search for something if you don't know the exact words in your search sometimes it takes hours to find things for example they changed the meaning of the word hack it used to mean hack into a computer I can Branch off a tree but now it means if something works good they call it a hack and the program called life hacks it don't even sound right saying that or hack my life does that sound right saying that I don't think so it sounds like you messed up your life when you say that but that's just an example but if you or anybody else can find out more about this and could say something I would really appreciate it to find out if this is true or not and I liked your comment
Also midnight from crimson glory
@@user-pj9vp4fg2i I saw Crimson Glory at this little dive bar with a stage in Milwaukee, WI right after Trancendance came out. Me and a buddy were right in front and center stage. It was brilliant. One of the best shows I've ever seen, and I've been to hundreds. Maybe 100 people, little bar, right in front, SO very cool. I was maybe 21-22 and I remember it like yesterday!
@@user-pj9vp4fg2i nope. Midnight studied under the late Al Koehn. Koehn studied under Maestro Kyle in the 70's.
You should listen to the entire "Operation Mindcrime" one of the best concept albums ever made. Their album "Operation Mindcrime II" takes place 18 years later and finishes the story from the first.
...and it sucks, only listen to it if you want to ruin mindcrime I, or so i've heard
@@ianglackin2293 Have you ever listened to the album? It's not as good as the original, but it doesn't suck.
I love the whole OM album but part two, I only like one song, but I own it.
And Chris Degarmo...was an amazing musician, songwriter, and backup singer in the band. Love him.
Wish he never left the band!
@@paulfreitag8267 I think he became a bush pilot. Got fed up with the Rock n Roll rigamerol and got himself a pilots license and a plane. Good for him...even though he has been missed.
Engine left band was over .Best band ever.
I love watching people react to how sick GT is in this performance. Gives me chills every time!
Being a HUGE Queensryche fan since the beginning, I've heard this song hundreds if not thousands of times. I still get goosebumps when hearing this version even after all these years!!! Ryche n Roll my friends!!!
I'm right there with you!! At 54 still rocking them daily
Silent lucidity is a total 180 to this. Totally different technical style.
One of my fav songs, when those violins come in…..perfection
Please listen to silent lycidity
Queensryche’s song, “Road to Madness” is one of Geoff’s best vocal performances in my opinion. He showcases his range and power and at times allows a loss of control to represent some of the madness within the song’s story. If you listen to it, use the studio version.
Totally agree!
Roads to Madness is my fav too. These classical trained singers follow the heard. This one did this bc the charismatic voice did it 30 days ago I would bet
Yes. Roads to Madness. Studio version. Also Silent Lucidity is just gorgeous
Totally with you on that song, impressive all around vocal performance.
I agree ! One of my favorites
I'm an 54 years old heavy Metal Fan from germany - i got this concert on VHS at Home - i love this Song
30+ years later I still get chills😎😎
Geoff Tate back in the day was easily one of the best vocalists going, period, full stop. Not metal vocalists, not rock vocalists, just singers/vocalists PERIOD. He would regularly hit G5 on the high end, and B1 at the low end. Honestly, he's up in the pantheon of best vocalists *ever* . As others have said, Operation: Mindcrime is indeed one of the greatest concept albums (metal or otherwise) ever made. That album is truly Queensryche at the height of their powers, and they never hit those heights again, unfortunately. Queensryche was my absolute favorite band for a number of years, but Empire was kinda meh (they way OVER-jumped on the "big hair metal band power ballad" train with Silent Lucidity), and they never hit the same heights again, especially when Chris DeGarmo (their lead guitarist and songwriter for much of their stuff) left the band. Still, Geoff could *easily* have sung opera professionally, but Metal is forever greater for his contributions.
Agreed thier magic died after mindcrime empire was just ok then they fell off the cliff for me and i just could not get where they were going
Thank you for your comment. Did you like my last reaction to Queensryche?
The reason why queensrÿche kinda die a little bit they got caught up in a bad 4 year contract and had to do things the way they wanted the people they signed the contract with so that really screwed things up for them and they started losing interest in the band and was thinking about quitting
Yup...totally agree. Easily one of the most underrated bands and singers of their time. Tate was untouchable at this point. Such power.
Yeah he's a total original. A lot of people could hit those notes back then and higher, well, especially after he kind of raised the bar for the most part. But yeah Geoff just had like well he has an almost ancient sword and dragons type voice quality, but at he same time it also sounds almost futuristic and sci-fi.
I'll never forget the day i first heard them. 13 years old would come home from school an turn on the stereo would sit out on the porch with friends and one day "Queen of the Ryche" was debuted on radio. I didn't hear who it was at the beginning but once it caught my ear, which was pretty instant, lol, i ran in the house and pressed record on my tape deck which i always had on the ready. So once it was over the radio went on to whatever song or commercial. I thought it was like the new Iron Maiden or something so we're listening to it back and i'm like no, Bruce ain't hitting Those notes. So i called the radio station to find out who the hell it was because they never went back and reiterated who they had just played, and sat on hold because apparently the phones were blowing up >D Needless to say that was kind of a new era of exceptionalism in metal. And it really was Queensryche were in their own league, and a lot of bands started taking influence from them in some way or an other.
The Operation Livecrime DVDs concert is a must watch, it does the entire Operation Mindcrime album in order, and Geoff's vocals are on fire. Eyes of a Stranger really showcase his range
Yes definitely that song as well as take hold of the flame
I just watched an interview with Geoff Tate and I guess before they went on their first major tour the entire band went to his vocal coach for a refresher course. It really shows the amount of dedication and commitment to their music. And definitely shows.
He's hitting those notes and this is the encore song!
Geoff and Michael were both taught by the Maestro David Kyle who lived on Alki Point in Seattle. He was my teacher as well as Anne Wilson. His walls were lined with rock stars that he taught. The Maestro was all about breathing, support and learning to believe that you can vocal achieve anything and be phenomenal! You had to audition in order for the Maestro to accept you as a student. Once he had you he wanted to keep you forever!
Who is this? I was the big head shot next to the Queensryche and Rail posters when you came into the studio.
Geoff has a one of a kind voice. He can flat out SING! My mom and uncle sang opera and did a couple albums. They are in AWE listening to Geoffs voice. The quality, the tone, to vibrato, the POWER! He's just amazing. Seen Queensryche 11 times and Geoff twice! Going to see him in October again. Just can't get to much Geoff!
Geoff Tate has always been voted 2nd best voice in rock to Freddy Mercury's. I saw Queensryche in LA in the 80's just after Empire and they did the entire Operation Mind Crime live. Best show I ever saw. Most people don't see that the lead player Chris DeGarmo has a voice almost as good, you have to pay attention and listen for him. Plus he writes a lot of the songs. The whole band was awesome.
In Geoff's prime, Freddy was without a doubt #2 between them. I'm not disrespecting him, but that's just a fact. Freddy was a great entertainer and singer, but Geoff Tate was a freak of nature in his vocal abilities.
I don’t know who voted him second best behind Freddy. I loved Freddy’s music and he was fantastic but his technical ability was not on the same level with Tate.
Thank you for your comment. Did you like my last reaction to Queensryche?
Empire.... 80’s?
@@paulwhite2533 lol
That decade is a little off for Empire
My ears were ringing for days after I saw them live, during the Empire tour. Totally worth it.
classically trained? he said in a recent interview he had like 5 lessons. but he does have an incredible voice. lost some range in 2021 and 2022 concerts but given he is 63, i forgive him and am still envious of his voice.
A Maestro can work wonders with a talented singer like Tate in just a few sessions. Conversely a bad teacher can set a singer on a course of vocal destruction with equal efficiency.
That is a lie, he studied with David Kyle for quite awhile.
Geoff Tate is untouchable. Having a masters in music is a huge accomplishment! Congratulations 🎈
Him and Sebastion Bach…. Can’t leave Bach out brotha
Always nice to see people discovering/realizing incredible musicianship nearly 40 years after its release. 🤟🏻. Kind of gives credence to music that I listened to back in the day. lol
Exactly. I am wowed that people 38 years later have the same reactions I did in 1984. This song in general has blown up on You Tube. I have seen maybe thirty five different reactions to it, 17 or 18 from vocal coaches and experts. The reaction by the pros is always the same. Complete disbelief. People just don’t realize how talented Metal singers (In particular, Prog Metal singers) are. Metal bands (Particularly Prog Metal bands) also write some of the best lyrics in existence.
Geoff has always had a gorgeous vocal range and puts all his emotion and energy into everything he does.
Geoff’s range and power is really the only difference between he and John Arch. John doesn’t have the lower range. I think he is a true tenor, but as such has less depth to his voice. It is still amazing, though. However, Geoff is still better.
🔥🔥🔥
Five octave vocal range, strong and smooth.
@@guymorris6596 nahh, maybe 4
u should check out "Queen of the Reich" from this same performance Live in Tokyo. amazing song and Geoff kills it.
Yes!
Both of those songs were the encore for that Tokyo show after having already played two hours or longer. Strong !!
He hits that E5 three times in the song, but the second one at 25:55 might be the best high note he's ever hit live. 😲
Yep agree no auto tune computer stuff this was recorded live in 84 the dude was exceptionall in his prime . That fact this is 2hrs in and the dude was doing aerobics while singing is fking crazy.
The lyrics are a poetic way of saying, Carpe Diem, or Seize the Day. Grab the opportunity when you have it. Make things happen when you have the chance. Be proactive. Very simply, GO FOR IT!
The Warning totally changed my life as a musician when I first started playing guitar and understanding vocals and compositions as a metal guitarist. Thank you for covering one of my favorite bands! New subscriber!!!!❤️🎸😘
Welcome. Thank you for your lovely comment. Hope to see you on my Reactions Live Stream later today?
THANK YOU for giving Chris DeGarmo his flowers. He was the heart and sould of the band, no doubt.
never the same after he left
@@billwell9266 they truly weren't. I was surprised when he did the tribute to Alice with Lily Cornell, they never shown the light on him. He might not like the spotlight any longer.
Look up " the rue love song"
@@QnRyche that the one with his daughter?
@@billwell9266 also alice in chains drone
Keep in mind that he did this at the very end of the concert too!
Just loved your reaction! Queensryche is my favourite band of all time, please keep reacting to their masterpieces!
Please remember, this is at the end of the set. Can anyone else do this at the end?
Geoff uses a totally different range in silent lucidity. Great video. Cool song. Much softer but great
“They work well together”😂Well, they did thru most of our rebellious years😁
The story goes the band practiced for about two years solid before their first show. I gotta believe it's true because they've been tight from day 1!
That’s bullshit! Geoff wasn’t a member of the band when they recorded the EP. He was fronting Myth. First show the played once they took off was in an arena.
An astounding vocalist at the apex of his career. This performance is legendary.
Love your channel.
What's really amazing about this is it was one of their last songs after a full concert.
Geoff is beyond incredible.
And this was an encore preformance.
That second high note was more than human. How else do you describe it? I've never heard anything like it.
Lucky enough to have seen Queensryche in '85 @ Radio City Musical Hall on their WARNING Tour. IN-CREDIBLE!
What that means is go out there and grab it while you can take hold of the flame because life is a game and will take you under if you don't take hold of the flame
Goeff Tate hits a E5 at the beginning of the song and you don't even stop and comment on it? Lol
This song was at the end of their set and he sounded like that, the guy is ridiculous!!!
Operation mind crime, was basically a rock opera telling a interesting bizarre story, you should check it out, eyes of a Stranger
I saw them live once and they were pristine. Sounded exactly like the albums.
I saw him live twice. Video or audio recordings don't even come close. He was amazing.
"are y'all ready for this video?"....
Been ready for twelve minutes lol 🤣
It's about growing old and not giving up even if you are old.. take hold of the flame and go for your dreams.
Geoff Tate has great tone and texture to his voice. Anyone who hasn't heard his solo work, outside of Queensryche, I highly recommend... alot of diversity of sounds.
I’m ashamed to say I didn’t know he had solo work. Thanks for that, I have a deep dive to go on
@@justinnschultz Don't feel bad...I didn't know either...years old, the cd I picked up...a music store was liquidating, and my random browse caught it...great stuff!
Thank you for your comment. Did you like my last reaction to Queensryche?
@@maggiereneemusic Yes! I like all of your reactions! You're so young and there's so much great music you have yet to discover...I'm always excited for you! I'm in my 50s so I have seen all the band's live, multiple times... the 80s was a very fun time for rock music. I'd like to see you check out More Than Words by Extreme. Just 2 guys with beautifully harmonized voices and an acoustic guitar.
They sounded as good live as they did on CD. I saw them a couple times and I wasn’t disappointed. I have Geoff autograph.
Operatic snarl!!!! Lol
You summed it up as close as possible since his voice sound was out of this world!
You know what the word it's, flabbergasted. Realized 40years ago. Greatest concert in the 80s. So much fun. Met my wife at slave raider concert. Friends brought me she was beautiful.
I just love you vocalist coaches that couldn't even come close to the singers of the 80s yet telling singers how to sing. Today's music just auto tune it you're a star!🤔
At one time before they were really big the band was call Queen of the ryche and later became Queensrÿche
Queensryche and Fates Warning are known to have started the Prog Metal genre in 1983. The genre is noted for a more artistic and melodic approach to metal. One of the key elements in the genre are entire albums with a common theme that tells a story. Many Prog Metal fans call them concept albums but I prefer the term Rock Opera. My favorite band, Savatage has done 3 of them and the very first they titled Streets: A Rock Opera. If that description is good enough for the best Prog Metal band ever, it is good enough for me.
Thank you for your comment. Did you like my last reaction to Queensryche?
Yes.
Say these guys live. Probably one of the best performances ever!
I got to see them together with Dream Theatre did 1/2 ,hour set both bands same time Geoff sang DT songs James sang Queensryche songs incredible dream come true
Lets not forget that when he does that E5 he's also bent over :-)
LOL! Thank you for your lovely comment. Hope to see you later today for my FUN Reactions Livestream?
I was fortunate enough to get to see them in the 80’s at a little hole in the wall club in Hickory, NC called "Cadillacs” where they played a three hour set, it was awesome 😎
If I could go back in time I would put myself at that concert in 84
Sorry I missed the 'live' stream but had to catch Geoff Tate performing TAKE HOLD...live. Epic recording!
I feel this is the greatest live performance ever.... I just can't get over the perfection of this. Geoff still performs solo. He DOESNT hit those high notes but sounds awesome still!💖
Well, he is 63 this year, so a loss of range is understandable.
@@craighenry2351 yeah i was not sure if everyone here knew he was still performing thats why I said that. completely understandable. I love watching his videos of recent performances.
Great performance , but NOPE. Beth Hart "Am I the One" live @ Paradiso is the best performance ever after Queen Live Aid.
Most people don't get the full amazzingness of his singing , the notes and quality of Geoff
So amazing!!! I can't get enough of this band, incredible!!!!!
When he hits that E 5! Magic! And the harmonies guitars and drumming. All world class!
And this was their encore song after a full concert.
I read they played this song and Queen Of The Reich for their encore.
Geoff Tate is pretty much the most talented heavy metal singer of all time. Plus, he has the tone of an angel. At his peak, no metal singer could sing live like Geoff either. To me, he was even better than Steve Perry live. And Steve himself was great.
Tate has a larger range than Ronnie James Dio, but Dio is still the King of Rock & Roll. The Chase with both Dio & Tate is EPIC!!
@@sportsmom165 Dio, Bruce and a few others are great too. They were great live too. But still not close to what Geoff was at his peak live. Geoff sang close to the way his album sounded. The others guys don't. Tate held notes consistently longer than any metal singer in history in concert. Halford was good too, he could not do everything that tate could do. Dio's low end to mid range is pretty amazing, but did not sound as good as his albums in concert. Even Steven Perry did not perform as well in concert compared to his albums.
@@Hollingsworth2781 Dio was pitch perfect every time. His last performance, he looked like hell, as we were to learn, he was dying from cancer, but he still belted it & stayed in pitch, the entire time. Dio had absolutely no vocal training, he was a trumpet player. I'm sure if you asked Tate, Dio is probably one of his heros. No, Dio did not have the same range, but he brought new vocal techniques, when he sang.
@@sportsmom165 Dio was a great singer. I just don't rate him quite as high as Geoff Tate.
No, Steve was massively overrated. The best Journey songs were the ones Greg Rolie sang. Now Steve is great but never had much power in his voice. As a pop singer that works, but it doesn’t compare to what many metal singers can do.
My mother could hit an E5 when she called me for dinner and I was a block away playing street 🏈
This song gives me flashbacks. I can still feel the embarrassment like it was yesterday.
You'll like it it's an awesome song and a hell of a singer
Do Queensryche "Roads to Madness" with Geoff Tate/Chris DeGarmo, this song will show the whole Tate plus The Ryche band...
Thank you for your comment. Did you like my last reaction to Queensryche?
Geoff Tate, Layne Staley and Ann Wilson of Heart have one thing in common. Their vocal teacher was Maestro David P Kyle RIP.
I actually think Jerry Cantrell is a better singer than Layne Staley Listen to My Song off of Jerry’s solo effort, Boggie Depot. It explains AIC’s incredible vocal harmonies. It’s like Queen. Freddie Mercury was a phenomenal singer, no doubt. But when you hear Brian May sing Too Much Love Will Kill You, from his solo effort Back to the Light, you understand where the incredible harmonies that Queen had, came from.
I love Queen but Brian never had a strong live voice though brilliant guitarist and arranger!
Old guy here .Great Critique! Ive heard Tate a lot, even live from early 80s! He really was this good in his youth. Still pretty good today as well
Thank you for your lovely comment! 💖 Hope you are having a lovely weekend! 😊 Can't wait to see you tomorrow on my livestream: ua-cam.com/video/wqnYJzLorBk/v-deo.html
A random North American pop culture crossover fact:
The drummer here in Queensryche was previously in a local garage band beforehand whose lead singer, IIRC, became the host of the North American TV series _Survivor._
Thank you for your comment. Did you like my last reaction to Queensryche?
@@maggiereneemusic ,
Yes! Though, I was of the parties who only saw _Take Hold of the Flame._
Your comment about the band working together is on point. More than any other band I have listened to, Queensryche songs sound to me like they were conceived in an instant, whole and perfect and complete, as opposed to being cobbled together from bits and pieces.
Thank you for your comment. Did you like my last reaction to Queensryche?
@@maggiereneemusic Oh! I don’t think I saw it. I’ll check it out!
15:05 THAT'S what we were waiting for! ha ha ha ha ha
22:54 Remember, he has a 5 octave range, this isn't difficult for him lol
We have heard of a Floorgasm.
That was a Geofgasm!
Thank you for your comment. Hope to see you at the Premiere of my new reaction video to NIGHTWISH tomorrow?
Been following QR since day 1. After hearing their 4 track audition tape, I was hooked. Stood in line for 8 hrs to get tickets in the middle of a brutal winter storm, and they made it so worth it. When they fired Tate, it was a sad day. they had a great run together, but wished the original gang held out like some other greats. First time seeing you, loved this, and instantly subbed. Will make my way onto your other media eventually. 🤘🔥🤘
So glad!! Welcome! Thanks for your lovely comment! 🤗💖
Yes ! Silent Lucidity Live MTV awards show version please 💖
Geoff was a God amongst vocalist back in the day.
Saw them in the Netherlands back in those days (my god I'm getting old). Just unbelievable. Operation Mindcrime, one of the very best albums ever written.
Geoff, his voice was /is legend back in the day - i was lucky to experience the metal era, (MY FAV) hanging with bands who knew Geoff was on a COMPLETELY higher untouchable level....
I listen to him with headphones, laying in bed eyes closed ...
Goosebumps....
Geoff is one of the absolute best to do it. A true singer.
Operation Mindcrime is their undisputed masterpiece
Fun video here. That dude is about the most amazing rock singer in history IMHO. Very underrated. Don't get me wrong, Empire and after are good tunes, but this early stuff...damn! Thanks for this vid.
Queensryche top ten

Honorable mention Prophecy
Based on what? Because I wouldn't include 90's material in their 'Top 10' except "Anybody Listening?" (maybe).
@Benito Kamelo I think my list is pretty representative of the best if their career. There is one from The Warning, two from Mindcrime, two from the EP (Plus an honorable mention), three from Empire, one from Rage for Order and one from Hear in the Now Frontier. I would hope that any list from you would be equally representative of the bulk of their career with their original lineup. But…..everyone has their own tastes. One thing I won’t compromise on, however, is that Take Hold of the Flame id the greatest song they ever did and Geoff’s greatest performance. I thought that 38 years ago, when I first heard it, and I still do. I do appreciate the comment, though.
Best phrase I’ve heard:
“Support of the gods”
I was there for that show... keep in mind this was the last song at about the 2 hour mark! Unreal!!!!
Please check out silent lucidity and Anybody listening!
Seen them live in concert awesome show yay, a great song, Operation Mine Crime is good Album 👍😎👌🎤🎸
Your facial expressions tell the story of this performance by Queensryche. Beautiful!
The world is a hard place. Don't give up Dream yourself into a new reality. You are the designer. Take hold of the flame that burns brightly within. ❤
The analysis on that whistle like onset was super interesting! Thanks

I love that you enjoy reading what you're hearing because sometimes we think we're hearing words we're not , if you love enjoying incredible writing, do a reaction video of just about ANY RUSH song !:)
Long time Queensryche fan here, seen lots of reactions, I think I like yours the best, keep up the great work, if you check out the "rage for order" album, and try " the killing words" or " the whisper", or " Walk in the shadows"", I would so absolutely like, and subscribe. Again great job!!!
Welcome! See you tonight on my livestream for more FUN!! 😜🤣
There are 2 distinct versions of this video. This is the one that was cleaned up in the studio and remastered. The live raw version is noticeably different to a trained musician or vocalist because there is much less vibrato and different pitches for some notes from here. Some are slightly flat or sharp and pitchy in the live LIVE format.
It cracks me up when people talk about noise being a distraction when you're on stage. I mean, it's not silent but there's less noise on stage than you might think.
Most bands can actually talk between themselves fairly easily when they're performing. I mean, think about it, all of the speakers are facing away from the stage so that makes a BIG difference.
Beautiful as always. Just got off work. You really make my day better. Love you❤️
The lyrics are, in a nutshell "Seize the day, chase your dreams"
This was fun I'm. Grew up. On queensryche. Was 11. And now. It's just as. Fresh and powerful
What really impresses me about this performance is his pitch control. For some of those high notes, mostly when he goes high on the "hold" in the chorus, he does a quick little slide at the start of the note to find the pitch. That's a common way to hit a high note without actually hitting it, you start on an easier note and quickly slide up to find the high and then hold it. But he doesn't do that for all of them. For some he has a lot of separation between the notes and he doesn't hunt for the pitch at all he just nails each one, even the high note. That's not easy. And the tone he gets on the highs is just incredible. It almost sounds like a full chest voice it's so rich and full. He's one of my favorite vocalists, and the rest of the band is great too.
queensryche is such a powerful and empowering that man has such a good range ladies & gentlemen
