Oh yeah. Every Queensryche song I've ever heard, I've been blown away by the DRAMATIC POWERFUL VOICE. It's made me realise that when a band can rock AND sing well, THOSE ones are my favourite. :D
I remember seeing this video on MTV Headbanger's ball back in the 1980s and I'm 53 and I still love listening to this group and jamming out to them all-the-time okay
Never will unfortunately. Tate burned his bridges with the rest of the band, then ran over the smouldering ashes with a tank, just to be sure. The new singer is pretty damn good, so I'm just glad we still have Queensryche in some form.
This is pure heavy metal USPM. I was born in 1968. In the early 80,s become fan of Priest, Maiden, Saxon, Dio, Ozzy, ....then came the USPM, inheritors of the British Metal. I bought this EP in 1983. Later came the thrash metal and hair metal, i like both genres also, but i always preferred the british metal and USPM, classic heavy metal... and even today...the music, the attitude... forever be part of my ADN
Their debut 4 song EP was so popular in the SF Bay Area that they toured for it, opening for Dio. Queen Of The Reich was in heavy rotation on rock radio, and when their show with Dio was announced, it sold out so quickly that they added a second show for the afternoon. And that is the show I saw, at 4pm at the San Jose Civic Auditorium. Still love that EP, as it was probably the heaviest stuff Queensryche ever produced. Since that EP, they became more polished and experimental, leaning into prog metal. But that original EP, when they were nothing but hungry young musicians from Seattle with nothing to lose, is one of the greatest metal debuts ever released.
Geoff is the best in any time! Spectacular voice and the best front man of metal of all time. I am very grateful to all that he did for Ryche these 30 years it was his voice. I, who am a huge fan since childhood, never accept La torre as the voice of Ryche. For me, unfortunately, the QR ended when Tate left. Without it and without DeGarmo, there is no chance for the band. Just to the new generations that only met them recently. I will love Geoff Tate for eternity. s2 Thanks for sharing emimusic.
+Jason Cook No DeGarmo, no Queensryche-- they've been (un)dead but not worth listening to ever since he quit working with them. It's a telling point that almost all the classic songs that Wilton/Rockenfield/Jackson want to reach back to were either written by Chris DeGarmo or inescapably show his influence... and even the name of the band is drawn from one of DeGarmo's songs.
THE BEST FRONT MAN? HMMMM....LETS THINK OF A FEW, MICK JAGGER, ALICE COOPER, MICHEAL JACKSON, ELVIS AND AXL ROSE, THERE ARE FIVE THAT ARE ALL BETTER FRONTMEN, I DIDN'T SAY BETTER SINGERS BUT THEY ARE BETTER FRONTMEN.......SORRY, I KNOW YOU HAVE A CRUSH AND ALL........
ooh man this is what it's all ABOUT,the image matched the music,the band matched the name & the young Tate's vocals matched his ATTITUDE.....this is RUSTFREE METAL at it's best cannot be beaten & cannot be duplicated period!!!!early 'ryche roolz
Bad ass. I've never heard this song before, but it looks really old, like, before Operation Mindcrime. I like it. And despite the goofy leggins and hair, the video itself has kind of a raw, old-school feel to it that's pretty flippin' suh-weet.
I'm a Queensryche fan and proud of it (I wear a back patch of their EP logo every day) but I still gotta say...there was a reason "This is Spinal Tap" got made, and videos like this were definitely part of the reason. That said, great song! The "Live in Tokyo" version smokes a big fatty on the album version though. During the "Tokyo" rendition you can hear how hard Scott Rockenfield totally fucking killed it on drums.
Nightrider Beware of night for we all know he's loose again Behind him lies the eyes of mercy and despair Forever living out his nightmare comes to life From hell this spell will find its way to you Tonight Tonight A thousand cries are heard, they echo in the wind And still the rider will unleash his chosen sin The victims of his rage are soldiers of his mind.... His scream will heed the call of those who stand behind The nightrider sails away The nightrider sails yeah By day the rider will have vanished from all eyes Seen from within the only answer to him lies But as the rays of light begin to fade away The rider will return to carry out his stay The nightrider sails away The nightrider sails yeah Beware of the night Beware of the night Beware of the night Oh god, beware of the night
This song kicks ass! Queensryche were still finding out who they were, Geoff is singing like Bruce Dickinson, and the song definitely is a nod to Iron Maiden, but they do it so well they can get away with it.
Great song off a great album. Love this jam. Cool video too 😎. . Oldie but goodie here. . Back in the day. Love me some old school QUEENSRYCHE 🤘🏻🤘🏻🤘🏻🤘🏻🤘🏻🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘
This is the earliest Queensryche video I have ever seen! I think they are lip syncing this. Sounds exactly like the record. I don't care that they are, they are still the baddest rockers ever! Geoff has some weird things going on with his mouth on this! Those tights are cool like Kevin DuBroe !
The thing that video awareness did to metal is sad. I mean really ...... despite being one of my top 5 favorite bands, the gyrations & facial expressions are almost comical.
+MantiaRyche Actually, DeGarmo's last full album was Hear In The Now Frontier, and he cowrote and played guitar for several tracks on Tribe. IMO, now that I've gone back and listened to it with fresh ears, Hear In The Now Frontier is a pretty good album-- shame it got dissed for not sounding like a repeat of the preceding albums (gotta admit I didn't give it a fair chance back then, but I'm listening to it now). On the other hand, I've been trying to keep an open mind in re-appraising the many albums of "Tate-Ryche" and the new albums of "LaTorre-Ryche" (as well as Tate's efforts with 'Operation: Mind Crime')-- and I'm just not finding anything worth bothering with in any of it since DeGarmo quit. Seems to me like Queensryche's dead and has been dead for a long time-- there's just a semi-animated zombie that keeps shambling along trying to insist it's still the same band (but it's not).
Ha ha! So funny you mentioned this - I was thinking exactly the same thing!!! I'm surprised more people haven't commented on the resemblance between Geoff and Freddie :-) As a teenager I was obsessed with their music and I was lucky to have seen them live through the 80s on several occasions and they were truly the most amazing live band I have ever seen, as many others have also stated. They had an amazing chemistry/dynamic together that I've never subsequently seen, and feel very sad finding out about all the acrimony that later happened. IMHO their best albums are their early ones, especially Rage For Order, with my favourite Queensryche song probably 'Queen Of The Reich' as that was the one that first got my attention (and still sounds unbelievable - those vocals still give me shivers!!).
BahstX Aye!...never thought about it till I saw your comment...sometimes I wish I still had hair like that..these days I just have to rock a different style.
BahstX DeGarmo and Tate have a Mercury / May relationship. Check their Innuendo cover out. They're really good, that alone will confirm your statement as fact; they were influenced by Queen.

From 1983 until 1990, Geoff Tate was UNTOUCHABLE.
A voice nobody could touch besides RJD.
I'd argue until 1991, but yeah, Geoff's voice was so damn good.

You got that right! He's a kid in this video...all of them are..Where in tf did this surface from? extremely bad ass

Original line up reunion - Tate - DeGarmo - Rockenfield - Wilton - Jackson.
MAKE IT HAPPEN!!!
Never will unfortunately. Tate burned his bridges with the rest of the band, then ran over the smouldering ashes with a tank, just to be sure. The new singer is pretty damn good, so I'm just glad we still have Queensryche in some form.
@@phantomechelon3628 That and it seems that Tate's voice is not what it once was
Wish full thinking, it would be nice.

You're not wrong...USPM was the TRUE metal of the 80s! Ryche, Manilla Road, Helstar, Omen, Cirith Ungol, Savage Grace, Heir Apparent...
I was born in 1967, so in all actuality we have been a Metal Heads as long as there has been Metal.😅😂🤘🏼🤘🏼😊

totally agree. And The Warning is equally as awesome, too!
@@billwoods9302 AGREED!
Love Queensryche! But the first LP and The Warning are pure Gold! My favorite !!
Easily one of my favorite songs by Queensryche. That damn solo hits the spot every time.
Everyone loves the Operation Mindcrime era but this era is my favorite!!!
Sextina Aquafina -QR now is Wilton’s band and he wrote most of the EP. Super immature if you ask me, but to each one’s own.
Hell yeah... Great era...
I have to agree.. this was them at there best.
The Mindcrime fans of the band likely dont even own the first 3 records the EP Warning and Rage for order are the best Queensryche records for me.
every body forgets the warning and rage for order
I wish he was still with queensryche he is a great vocalist definitely one of the best
Everyones bagging on their outfits, but that was the shit in the early 80's. And try to remember that it's fuckin' QUEENSRYCHE !!!!
Love the band, love the song, and grateful they didn't hang onto that wardrobe.
One of the coolest Heavy Metal songs by one of the coolest bands.

So that is your opinion, and can certainly chose to not listen to them, but others aren't allowed to have their own opinion?
No Tate. No Degarmo. No Ryche.
They were the opening band at my first concert. Supporting this EP. I was hooked.
THE BEST FRONT MAN? HMMMM....LETS THINK OF A FEW, MICK JAGGER, ALICE COOPER, MICHEAL JACKSON, ELVIS AND AXL ROSE, THERE ARE FIVE THAT ARE ALL BETTER FRONTMEN, I DIDN'T SAY BETTER SINGERS BUT THEY ARE BETTER FRONTMEN.......SORRY, I KNOW YOU HAVE A CRUSH AND ALL........
I love how the Maiden-influence was so clear on their earliest works -Amazing music :)
And Priest
Yeah I was going to say Iron Maiden + Judas Priest. Great combo. Queensrÿche
's my favorite though.
I hear so much Halford in his screams
Man that dude has a helluva voice! He may be up there with Halford possibly.
If someone ask me the definition of "heavy metal", i would say: Queensryche EP!!!
+Play Rock More of an example of heavy metal than a definition, really... but who's nitpicking? ;-)
I think it's the finest work they've ever done even if it's only seventeen and a half minutes long.
Not heavy at all.. it’s progressive
@@TrollHunterxXx 2 lead guitars with heavy drums. It's heavy for sure.
@@TrollHunterxXx It became progressive after Rage For Order, the EP e is one of best exemples of traditional heavy metal
Damn..nothing more metal than this
80s + True Metal, Forever!!
Geoff, a bit melodramatic
But that voice.......
Geoff Tate PUT THIS BAND ON THE MAP!!!! HIS VOCALS 🤘
Good thing it wasn't the looks.
Amen to that 🙏

Lmao. Hahahahaha. Lol
Fuck I love this era of this band... the Mr Ed impression at 2:18 really seals the deal
I've been watching this video for 25 years at least, and I still can't figure out what Geoff is doing with his mouth in that moment.
@0:28- That's the sound one makes when they sit on a cactus.
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
some of the coolest bass playing ever
Yeah Eddie has some serious lines in the EP and The Warning
I know, the fucking ep is just everything, best guitar work and Drums
Queensryche kicks ass!
Wish Queenscryche stuck to this stuff, killer stuff! Anyhow, what a riff and vocals!
yes, Chris & Michael have some of the best guitar riffs I've ever heard
MTV got a hold of em! 😩😩😩
Man! The theatrics and lighting. This is so awesome for it's time. Killer editing too.
ooh man this is what it's all ABOUT,the image matched the music,the band matched the name & the young Tate's vocals matched his ATTITUDE.....this is RUSTFREE METAL at it's best cannot be beaten & cannot be duplicated period!!!!early 'ryche roolz
God I fucking love Geoff Tate
Great song!
Geoff Tate kinda reminds me of Freddie Mercury by his stage-appearance here!
this band is right up there with the big boys ... pure genius
Great song, ridiculous video.
that solo gives me the chills :D
Tate is such a rock star here, there's no one like that nowadays. Such a shame.
AMERICAN POWER METAL at it's best.
y e aa huh dude rock on!!!!
king tiger All American Power Metal was an extension and upgrade of nwobhm.
The Classic Heavy Metal Vault. power metal?????
Geoff is from Germany bitch
@@florentinosanzpastor9556 Power Metal does not have to sound like Blind Guardian. This is the good ol days when power metal had balls.

Geoff Tate looks like Freddy Mercury in this video.

This was their EP titled Queensryche. This was their first "album" (not even really an album since it only had 4 songs or so).
This was about 6 before operation
Geoff Tate had no freakin' style in 1983. His wardrobe was worse than Sammy Hagar, Brian Johnson and Gary Cherone combined.
Geoff! So Dramatic! ! ;)
When Geoff Tate ruled the world.
What a talented band they are, I love them. Geoff, Chris, Michael, Eddie and a hell of a drummer Scott is!🤘
I wish Queensryche stayed this heavy for their whole career. This is pure metal!
Have you heard their latest stuff with La Torre? It's pretty damn heavy.
Then I fell in love with the warning ✌✌
I'm a Queensryche fan and proud of it (I wear a back patch of their EP logo every day) but I still gotta say...there was a reason "This is Spinal Tap" got made, and videos like this were definitely part of the reason.

NIGHT RIDER!! REMEMBER HIS NAME WHEN YOU LOOK AT THE NIGHT SKY!!!

Beware of night for we all know he's loose again
Behind him lies the eyes of mercy and despair
Forever living out his nightmare comes to life
From hell this spell will find its way to you
Tonight
Tonight
A thousand cries are heard, they echo in the wind
And still the rider will unleash his chosen sin
The victims of his rage are soldiers of his mind....
His scream will heed the call of those who stand behind
The nightrider sails away
The nightrider sails yeah
By day the rider will have vanished from all eyes
Seen from within the only answer to him lies
But as the rays of light begin to fade away
The rider will return to carry out his stay
The nightrider sails away
The nightrider sails yeah
Beware of the night
Beware of the night
Beware of the night
Oh god, beware of the night
*I vote this gets used in the 'Knight Rider' reboot coming up!*
OWWWWWWwwahaaahaaaaa
I CAN LISTEN 2 THIS DAY N NIGHT
same here bruh. rock on
Is it just me or did Geoff Tate just DEATH GROWL?? wish he had never done it......
Is there any way to increase the volume on this?
I still remember at least 2 of these goons working as the bag boys at the local grocery store. Good times
This is great. It's a shame that even ongoing bands from that era have adjusted their style for the modern rock style, which is shit.
Wow. This is quite a look for Tate. I haven't seen this get up. He's was hot.
To me this screams "poseurs"
Reminds me of Madmax!! NEVER FORGET NIGHT RIDER!
this is kind of like their "Dissident Aggressor"
This song kicks ass! Queensryche were still finding out who they were, Geoff is singing like Bruce Dickinson, and the song definitely is a nod to Iron Maiden, but they do it so well they can get away with it.
Well shit they were barely 21... it was destiny!

riding all night long on horseback!!!! in texas and jalisco mexico!!!

@13ShadowsintheGrave not that it matters because pot isn't that bad for you - but yes, queensryche smoked, drank, did pot, just like the rest of them.
The ultimate of metal with meaning in the early 80's! ( And great guitar playing!)

Never understood why bands dressed like dragonslayers. Was it a lucrative image?
It beat looking the 1990s alternative look.
Favorite QR song .. over anything off mindcrime.. you just had to be there when this 4 Song EP was release in 83
Geoff Tate simplesmente é um artista perfeito e completo. Sem palavras para descrevê-lo ❤
god that scream in the beginning so demonic....I love it
TRES Heavy
remember when it was ok to have chest hair
A mixture of glam power and British metal ?wtf is this?weird style...
Suddenly I see how much Geoff was influenced by Freddy Mercury
Oh wow I've never seen this before.
I love this song.
Jeff Tate cracked me up. Those pants.
That was awesome. It's going in the playlist.
I haven't seen this in years! Those pants!
