The craziest part is that this was one of the last songs of the show. Dude just sang for almost 2 hours then did this at the end.
Yea they always close with this song. Pretty crazy.
hard song in the end it's just normal for musicians and singers
I saw them on this tour and they totally blew everyone away. They was opening for Dio in the UK and they were the only support band I ever saw that got an encore.
Actually he did Queen of the Reich next to end it .
What?
Geoff Tate could not be touched in the 80s. That dude was in another dimension. He and Chris Degarmo were a writing force. Mindcrime is a diamond of a record.
Mindcrime will go down in history as the single best "concept album" EVAR!
And then, "Yoko", ruined it for everybody =)
I'd argue that, given longevity and being able to keep their voice, Michael Kiske is better, IMO. They were neck and neck, and he and Kai Hansen/Weikath were just as formidable a writing team.
Midnight from Crimson Glory was the best. He was on an emotional level all by himself.
FatalPies Keep telling yourself that. Midnight was a lot better. Here is why. I put the “Painted Skies” vocal up against anything Tate has ever sang. Cant compare. As a bonus ass kicking to Tate I will crank “Lost Reflection.” That level of emotional singing is unmatched by anyone. Tate never could convey raw emotion on the level Midnight could so easily. To further prove my point. Imagine Tate singing Crimson Glory songs. Now.... imagine Midnight singing QR songs. Okay, I am done.
I have seen Queensryche 13 times and every time have been blown away by Geoff’s voice and charisma on stage. I got the chance to meet him before a concert. I was too scared to ask for a pic with him, so somebody yelled out, “Geoff, she wants a picture with you!” He turned around and gave me one of his grins and said “ Sure” then put his arm around me! I think I went to heaven at that point,lol. Then at the concert I was about 50 feet from the stage(small venue), he looked at me once or twice and give the same grin. I swear, the best concert I have ever been to!
It is too bad kids now will never know the feeling of an arena concert or even a small venue concert because of everything going on. I am so glad I grew up in the 80’s and was able to go to them.
I actually got to meet the guys. Was awesome.
I hate you both. I'm in WNY so saw the Headstones 3x, Tragically Hip(thankfully), and the Tea Party(fantastic)..... Filter & Everclear- both sucked. I had to work so my two best friends saw Bush, I got a sticker :(
GODDAMN!!! YOU LUCKY GIRL!!!
Geoff Tate was one of the very best singers in the world in the 80s. I still listen to Operation Mindcrime at least once a week. One of my all time favourite albums.
Have you heard any of his recent stuff? He's still got it!
My favorite album,..period!
I've seen them live 3 times, I've bought their album on LP (yeah, I am that old, sue me), cd, and streamables, I've gifted this album to other people, I've bought this album like 15-16 times. There was a rock radio show in Sweden which basically announced that there is this band Queensrÿche and that the've dropped this album Operation: Mindcrime, and just shut up and aired the the entire album in one go, no announcement, no commercials, no nothing, just Queensrÿche for about an hour, uninterrupted.
@@JaceFincham He's coming back strong for sure. Damned shame he decided smoking would make him look cooler. 😖
Also noteworthy is the fact that this is the ENCORE! 🤯
This performance is even more amazing because it was the very last song of their set. And it was also their second concert of the afternoon, so Geoff had already been performing for almost four hours straight, with just a short break in the middle, before singing like THAT.
How about a hand for guitarist Chris DeGarmo, singing harmony OVER Tate’s vocal line.
Yes! Like Michael Anthony behind David Lee Roth's voice. Chris was an underrated Guitarist, vocalist and "Writer".
Actually 9:05 is the only part where DeGarmo sings OVER Tates voice. When Tate goes up at around 9:50 DeGarmo sings lower
Have always noticed Wilton/Degarmo’s impeccable backing vocals. Never heard them isolated but would be interested to hear them, especially on the high notes how well they can sing.
Chris DeGarmo was the heart and soul of the band.
Chris DeGarmo MVP!
Tate is touring and singing live at small venues around the Pacific Northwest, and his voice is still frickin astonishing.
Saw Tate last show before "covid" and then this last November.... Still sounding great!
@@daveslatton8128 He lost the highs in the voice but he can still hit the low notes
Just saw him Friday! Awesome show! He still has it!
@@LJ-yz4ob saw him 2 nights ago... unbelievable!
@@harleyrider76 he can still go pretty high tbh, just not into the stratosphere.
The entire album THE WARNING is a masterpiece!
Geoff Tate was instructed by David P. Kyle of Seattle , the same instructor who taught the Wilson sisters of Heart and Layne Staley of Alice in Chains.
...and Tony Bennett, Warrell Dane of Nevermore/Sanctuary, Ted Pilot of Fifth Angel and a few other great 80's metal vocalists.
Jamie Burnette wow.....Seattle strikes again......my hometown..
David P. Kyle also helped Bruce dickenson
Chris Cornell was also one of David Kyle's students. Also, late vocal Instructor Al Koehn from Floida studied under Maestro Kyle. And one of Al's students was Midnight from Crimson Glory. Who has a very similar style/ sound to Tate. But at least half an octave higher.

@@timbrown6629 Awesome! I didn't know the lineage. Midnight is one of my all-time faves. He deserves so much more recognition. To me he had the most emotional voice of all the great 80s metal singers.
I saw Queensryche in 1988 with Metallica. Took me 3 songs to be positive it wasn't recorded. Superhuman--like the record WHILE moving fast back and forth across the stage.
dude, I saw Queensryche & Metallica in 1988 as well when they passed through Texas. Incredible. Two great bands at their peak.
Same but in Salt Lake City. Was halfway through that tour that they got their own tour as headliners, totally deserved. I love Metallica but they were blown out of the water by queensryche.
That was one of the best concerts I’ve ever attended.
I’ve been to hundreds upon hundreds of shows.
Saw that tour as well in long beach and I was more there for them than Metallica.
No one could touch Mr. Tate...no one ! It is jaw dropping just how effortless he performed. Great review btw.
Geoff Tate...a vocal legend among legends...
He had been singing all night, this was like the 14th song of this concert and he was that effortless. Tate is amazing! Great review and reaction, thanks!
Geoff Tate and Bruce Dickinson were my favorite singers in high school during the 80's.
same here buddy.. then there were Michael Kiske of Helloween and Lizzy Borden both of whom were very much in the same vocal neighborhood..
They are still my favorite singers.
@@masonb9788 Summer of 1985 I was 14 and a group of us kids hung out all summer and smoked cigs (stupid) and listened to heavy metal. We were like the outcasts as metal wasn't hip or popular mainstream. I was introduced to alot of bands during that time and Queensryche The Warning (before they got popular with Operation Mindcrime) album was one of them. I knew about Maiden back in 83 when I was 12, but that summer Queensryche, Metallica, Megadeth, Motley Crew, Accept, Dokken, Dio, Black Sabbath, Ozzy, and the list goes on and on. That summer was a hallmark in my life.
@@danieldavis1028 did you have Z-Rock in your area? It was a commercial radio station that played only heavy metal. (the heavier stuff that wasn't on the mainstream stations). Good times! There were hardly any kids that liked the heavy stuff in my town, I had a few friends, that was it. It wasn't until senior year that suddenly everyone loved bands like Def Leppard, Whitesnake and Motley Crue.. we were ahead of the curve!
UA-cam comments. The only place you can find someone who will elevate Lizzy Borden to the company of Geoff Tate and Bruce Dickenson lol
I found this on the internet that he said in an interview, “Over the 30 years that Queensryche has been together, Tate has learned to care for his legendary four-octave vocal range. “I’m pretty fortunate - I have a very strong voice, and I started out very early in my teens taking voice training. I started using opera techniques, and it really helped me maintain my voice throughout a performance.”
Imagine Tate and Halford having a metal duet together. It just might create a crack in the earth.
I'll do you one better. Look up "The One You Love To Hate" - Halford, Tate and Dickinson together.
@@digiscream Thanks for that. I am not sure how that place did not implode.
Just using up my last 4G bytes to see this reaction (as I asked on this channel) and it was all worth it!!!! See your reaction made my day!!!
I saw Queensryche, Halford and Iron Maiden Play together in New Jersey years ago. Hands-down the best concert I’ve went to.
check out "we're stars" great song..... halford, Tate and others
Tate: One of the greatest vocalists ever. The power, range and control are ALL otherworldly.
"I have loved Queensryche" "It's not like I have never heard Queensryche" See, this is why your videos are great :D
I think you've been deceived by this charlatan. Someone who loves Mindcrime 100% of the time knows of their prior releases, especially...ummmm....all of them. Because they're equally majestic. EP, The Warning, Rage for Order...
Once you listen to them once
you keep tabs on them for sure
I've watched a number of reviews of Geoff Tate's singing, but this was my favorite by far Mike.
You are the only reviewer I have watched that knew the notes, and also replicated them on the piano.
Very informative.
Hey, thanks!!
I agree with you.
While I do love the reviews by Rebecca Vocal Athlete and The Charismatic Voice, it's great to see a male vocal teacher reacting to this.
@@Sasfoot Check out BethRoars. She adores Tate and has a touching reaction to the unplugged version of "I Will Remember", and of course Beth reacts to "Take Hold . . . ". She's very good.
@@MikeGoodrich Mike, we love that you stop the songs and explain the notes. I am assuming so beneficial for students.
Queensryche - Live in Tokyo might be the best metal performance ever set to video/audio, Geoff killed it 100% perfect.
Pleeeeaaassseee do Queensryche's Roads to Madness from The Warning album!
IMO Roads to Madness is Tate's finest moment!
Yes a lot of vocal Changes and excellent song
Agree....damn now its time to listen to Warning in its entirety.
Mindcrime is an amazing album.
The Warning is a MASTERPIECE!!!
Love that album and Rage for Order
Finally a real Queensryche fan....I get so sick and tired of so called “Queensrych fans” referencing Mind crime as thier masterpiece just shows their lack of fandom once I saw you state WARNING...I screamed to myself...YES!!! FINNALY SOMEONE WHI TRULY UNDERSTANDS Queensryche....don’t get me wrong mind crime was great but WARNING and RAGE....Queensrych at thier BEST I would even throw in those first “album” the EP that we in are neck of the woods call it “queen of the ryche” album befor mindcrime ..Mindcrime was (in my opinion) the beginning of thier commercialization era but still good
GFY 1 I didn’t get to see them the first time till 1986,
But me and my best friend waited in the backstage area with all the hot girls. When the road manager started hooking up the girls with backstage passes, we lied and told him my older brother went to school with Scott, so he hooked us up!
We were the only guys to go back.
All the food and booze we could want, hung out with the whole band for over an hour, got all autographs on one of their set lists (a roadie made fun of us for not having pen and paper, so he hooked us up)
Geoff bummed half a pack of smokes from me over the hour or so, and I tripped over some guys foot who was sitting talking to Chris, and it was The blond guitar player from Whitesnake. Real nice fella.
Ended up watching AC/DC from the side of the stage.
GFY 1 if you look at the songs they were touring with for the ep,
They had The Warning album songs finished when they did the ep.
So if you view the ep and the album as one,
Just a monstrous masterpiece of music with absolutely zero fill.
Truth
I've always knew Geoff Tate had an amazing voice and I remember listening to Queensryche until my ears bled driving my first car. Thanks to You Tube and to channels like yours it's nice to understand what I was/am hearing and why the music is so special. Thank you Mike.
Do Queen of the Reich next from the same concert. Even more impressive. Early to mid 80s Geoff Tate was incredible
@@ICBMSteve Yup. Good stuff..
If there were a March Madness for live performances... THIS ONE goes STRAIGHT to the Final Four!
I had the fortune of seeing this tour (The Warning tour) in '84, at the famous L'Amours rock club in Brooklyn, NY, and my jaw is still missing! I left it there all these years. I've seen hundreds of live rock concerts over the decades, and this one was Top 5 ever!
Is that an expletive I read on your lips when he sang that high note in the middle of the song! Also I was always confused by other vocal coaches because they were also saying that he was just hitting notes in the fifth octave, but I couldn't understand why he sounded so much better than most other singers, that I heard hitting these notes and you perfectly explained it, so thanks very much for that sir. 👍🏻
Yea, he totally mouthed "FUUUUUHHH!!!!!!!!!!!" It was awesome because he was clearly already impressed 9:50
Great reaction.
It's cool to see these type of vocal performances get the recognition they deserve decades later. Not only does Tate give one of the greatest metal vocal performances of all time in this song, but it is one of the greatest vocals performances of all time in any song or genre period.
tate and degarmo's singing harmony parts always was awesome.
I saw these guys in 1986 with a Japanese band called “loudness“ and Motley Crue. It was my first concert and Tate appeared out of the darkness with his face painted white and blew the roof of the building along with my mind. People were throwing stuff at loudness and motley did not even compare.
To top it off, they showed up at a friend’s dive bar called “Bangers” and I got to meet and party with them the rest of the night. Unforgettable
OMG Loudness. I haven’t heard that name in decades. Crazy Nights. Lol.
Some people are just gifted with talent being an artist comedian, actor or singer, he was gifted and no matter how hard you tried to make somebody sing like that if they can’t do it, they won’t.
Early songs like Queen of the Reich drew me in. Later, songs like Spreading the disease, don’t ever trust the needle, and Another rainy night solidified my fandom.
you can't be that big of a fan, otherwise you'd know the song is The Needle Lies not don’t ever trust the needle
jdsim9173 Oh I’m sorry if I don’t have the cassette in front of me and I forgot the exact wording of the title. Didn’t know the word police was going to question how big of a fan I am. Relax!
@@jdsim9173 believe it or not its actually possible.
Let's not forget the greatest on Mindcrime: Breaking the Silence and The Mission
Exactly!!
First, and favorite, song Queenryche song for me! Tears are welling up in my eyes! I love singing along to this, especially when driving. They came along at a much needed time in my life! Seeing them in concert, most of the time, has been an unbelievable experience. It was my daughter's first concert about 10 years ago. I love so many metal singers, but Geoff Tate is closest to my heart, and the one I mimic best. 🤘💖
❤ Geoff Tate. As much as I love his high notes, his lows are just dreamy!
I can understand the energy you are feeling when you hear Geoff's notes. He really is amazing in transition and power. WOW
This is from 1985 Live in Tokyo. I had this concert in VHS tape for 30 years until I misplaced it in a move. You should listen to "Roads To Madness" from the same concert
Oh man. That song. *Shivers*
It. is. so. good!
My favorite Ryche song
I saw these guys eight times in their prime. Never a bad performance. I can’t even recall a missed note in any of those shows. I was blown away every single time.
Yeah Queensryche will never be the same with out Chris and Tate
Queensryche still one of my favorite bands all time. Never got the full recognition that their talents deserved. Only the more "commercially" palatable songs ever got recognition. So much good stuff in this album, "The Warning." Their first four albums all rocked and Tate's vocals shine in all of them. Great control. These are bands the new generation should not forget about. Thanks as always for the great review!
Which is why everyone mentions Silent Lucidity. It is a straight ballad, not a power ballad, a straight ballad. Thus, it appeals to a much wider audience It is great lyrically, but musically, I think it is the weakest cut on Empire . Best I Can, The Thin Line, Another Rainy Night, Empire, Hand on Heart, Anybody Listening and, especially, Jet City Woman are all much better songs musically. When I heard Silent Lucidity, I held off purchasing Empire. Then I heard Jet City Woman and realized it was just an aberration. Queensryche was still rocking the same way.
Geoff was opera trained and has an 5 Octave range. Truly the greatest, to have seen him in his prime was a rush!
Just an incredible voice and band. So damn talented and underrated band.
They really were
Love Geoff Tate. His range is phenomenal. Mind Crime got me through college. Also, this breakdown is excellent. Best I've heard so far.
This reaction about this jewel of a song is by far, the best I have ever watched .
I love Queensryche
Queensryche is a band that has been very near and dear to my heart since the late 1980s. Their album Operation Mindcrime is still one of my favorite.
Ohhh, just a few notes in and I was transported back to the 80's.
Geoff was 25 in 1984 and now is 63 and still records and tours and sings well. There will never be another Geoff Tate.
Saw them in '03 with Dream Theater. Amazing! The duet of Comfortably Numb was great. I remember Tate getting up on stage asking us all "are you taking care of yourselves?". He obviously did and has to be able to pull this off. Both bands were quality true professionals who cared about delivering a beautiful musical experience.
I always thought Chris Degarmo didn't get enough credit for his background vocals. Throughout the bands history he could hold his own with Geoff Tate. Look it up
CDG was underrated all around for his vocals,guitar work with Wilton,his writing abilities, and his way to arrange songs. CDG is a rare one and a shame he doesn't get back into playing again with QR
@@vigocountyscanner good point
@EccentricSage Todd La Torre is an excellent singer. Probably the best replacement for Geoff Tate from a vocal perspective. From a chemistry standpoint, Meh, when Chris left in '97 and Geoff left in '12 they took the chemistry with them. And... i just remembered the first song Geoff Tate wrote was "The Lady Wore Black"
Perhaps a subnote to this:
to all the younger guys&girls thinking "well, our generation pop-singers can sing that too"... don't underestimate the fact: NO AUTOTUNE - NO IN EAR MONITORING... just pure soundpressure pounding out of oldschool 12" speakers ... and energy on stage - still hitting all the notes and cutting through a full blasting rockband. Not to mention the rhythmic stuff this band did and does.
The Warning album is where he really lets loose in my opinion
I often wonder what that album could have been if they'd had a real metal producer like Martin Birch or Terry Date
Moreso where he still had his full voice before the cigs gradually wore it away
Vocally, best album ever made. Untouchable!
God I LOVE GEOFF!! MY DREAM WAS TO MEET HIM AND I DID 8 YEARS AGO!!!
BEST DAY EVER!!!❤❤❤ HIS VOCALS ARE INSANE!!! EARTH-SHATTERING!
I saw them here in Milwaukee WI when they did the taping for the Livecrime video, just an amazing show. I just saw Geoff Tate last year when he did the 30th anniversary of Operation: Mindcrime (31st actually). His daughter is the singer of the opening band and she came out to sing the part that was done by Pamela Moore on the album which was really cool. Before all the bands started cancelling because of COVID he played Empire in its entirety to mark the 30th anniversary of that album along with Rage For Order in its entirety.
Pamela Moore
My bad, thanks for the correction 👍.
No, it must be: Pamela Moore😀
Just saw this in my feed and thought, “oh good God...another reaction to Take Hold of the Flame Live from Tokyo.” But I watched it anyways, because I can’t ever tire of this performance. It’s one of the greatest vocal performances of my lifetime, and I’m 51. The only other I could say that is right there is Rob Halford singing Victim of Changes on Unleashed in the East. Anyways, thank for the actual insight and analysis. I’ve always said I wish someone would break these things down and talk about what is actually being done...not just on the surface. I subscribed 👍
I love a vocal teacher who says, "Sometimes studying just screws people up"! He understands that art derives from the unconventional.
Excellent way of wording that thought. Original and creative, which is what you were trying to describe with those very words.
Mike, even more incredible, this was the last song of their set that night! Check out their album Rage for Order if you liked this song.
Rage is awesome and it should have been more popular than what it was.
The last one was Queen Of The Reich. A more difficult song, but perfectly performed too.
@@danyelmo2831 I've seen that one too, I didn't realize it was the last song. QOTR is one of my all-time favorites along with The Lady Wore Black.
Geoff Tate & Queensryche live - Now THAT'S the way to start your day!! :) Mike: "It's not 'imiTATEable'"... A few weeks back, on Chase's channel (who is now a full-fledged member of the NW Army).. "He's reMARCOble". Great, cheesy quotes from 2 of the best reactors!
Both are great reactors. Many explanations, always learning something new or not realized about my favourit bands
I don't know if it's been mentioned already but . . . THIS WAS AN ENCORE!! He'd just finished 90 minutes of Queensryche songs (I say this only to point out that singing a Queensryche song is hard) so he decides to sing their most demanding song - Take Hold Of The Flame!!
Just subscribed...I've not seen so called "Vocal Coach" dissect a performance with such knowledge. This was on point!
In Take Hold Of The Flame, Geoff Tate and Chris Degarmo are in perfect unison on the vocals.
Yes!! Geoff Tate Is increíble!!!
Tate leaves another vocal teacher speechless .....the guy truly was the best singer when he was in his prime .
Checkout any other song on this album , he kills them all .
Mr. Tate was on another dimension with that natural voice. One of the best ever, he should had been a global sensation. I've never heard anyone sound like him.
I saw him perform the entire Operation Mind Crime album last year at a 300 seat venue and he was absolutely incredible as always! He truly has a gift 🤘
Bought The Warning the week it was released. It's great to hear their musicianship being acknowledged and praised 36 years later..
Queensryche with Tate was a real game-changer in the metal world. Mr. Tate is a great vocalist. A tip would be to check out Kings X and their song "Dogman". Doug Pinnick has a really great rock voice too...
Agreed!
Doug Pinnick is s a talent, no doubt, but I always thought Ty Tabor was exceptional as well. His solo on Prisoner is one of the best and most underrated I have ever heard.
This song has long been one of my favs. When they did the Rage for Order tour they did a signing at a local record store - I took THIS album instead and got it signed (I also bought Rage - great album) By pure chance I was one of the last 5 people they let in before they left so I got to chat with them for about 5 minutes as opposed to "Hi, thanks for the autograph - see you at the show". They were very friendly and engaging even though they were obviously VERY tired at this point and needed to get some sleep before the show that evening. The show was Awesome btw..:) One of the best live bands IMHO.
I have a similar story...had meet and greet passes for a show on the HITNF tour...each band member could not have been nicer, and answered each question as if it was the first time hearing it. Chris was super engaging, and Geoff just as laid back as possible. Great memory.
Supporting AC/DC tour. Loved Rage for Order.
Take Hold Of The Flame is my favorite Qurrnsryche song.
AFTERBURNER , listen to the Rage For Order album. Specifically the song The Whisper. 👍
Sorry to be getting to this so late! Emotion means everything when performing. I love your reactions. You are so real and honest!
I just googled Geoff and and sure enough he was intensely trained! Classical mostly.
Not to forget it was an encore. And that night Geoff had already nailed 11 songs.
I saw Queensryche in 1983 when they opened for some band called Zebra and my friends and I were just floored by Tate. The whole band was incredible. I've seen them numerous times since, but that first show is still the best.
I remember Zebra, mostly because they were supposed to be the next big thing. Guess what, they weren’t!
Some band named Zebra? Lol. They were great!!!
"tricks people into thinking he's a baritone"
Geoff Tate IS a natural baritone :)
So Ive heard ...Barritone
Nope, he is an unnatural baritone, he was constantly chasing more chest resonance early on. He would study baritones in his social sphere during the Myth/Mob period, and interviewed a few personally - he would as them to sing and watch everything up close and ask questions. (And why he smokes btw)
Meanwhile, we were trying to figure out if he had a crystal skull and aluminum teeth.
Listen to “Roads to madness”
love roads to madness
I saw the video for "Gonna get close to you", bought "The Warning" and immediately fell in love with "Roads to Madness" circa mid 80's. RYCHE ON!
Absolutely!!!!!!!!!!!
geoff an instrument , a siren an amagalm of human and hyper
I have their set list from Mindcrime that was taped on the stage. I went up after the show and had a security guy give it to me. Also have set lists from Dokken and Whitesnake
I remember catching a towel from the singer from Helloween. I thought it was the coolest thing until I got home. I had this generic towel, no band logo on it just the singers sweat. Its not something I could put in a frame or display in a cool way. “Hey Man, tell me about that towel!!!!” I ended up putting it in with my laundry and it just became another everyday towel in the bathroom. Still its cool to get something from a band to take home. I got a few guitar pics, drumsticks and other odds n ends from other shows. A much cooler souvenir than a towel lol.
I've only got one - but Patrick Dahlheimer from Live gave it to me at a club show in Denver years back. That's a keeper!
I just listened to Marco Hietala, from his new solo album, doing Song of My Father, both in English and the original Finnish. I would beg you to listen to this song in the Finnish version. Singing in his native tongue, it feels more emotional and powerful. His voice is absolutely gorgeous here....beautiful baritone.....The official video.....wonderful...
A song of hope:
Take hold of the flame
This was from their album "The Warning."
Next was "Rage for Order."
Then "Operation: Mindcrime."
Then "Empire."
Geoff studied with Maestro David P. Kyle, and ALSO his aunt was/is a trained opera singer so he got some instruction from her as well
Love his metal voice! He’s always been a favorite of mine. Luckily, after two years waiting to see him, and crying the first time not being able to go to his show, I finally get to go tomorrow night. Happy, Happy! He’s playing at The Blue Note in Harrison, Ohio. I’m stoked! Get to see an idol that I’ve loved for a long time. Thank you for this reaction. If anything I’ll send a video of the show.
See, now, most of us would just say "amazing" - you actually know the Why and How of it.
Liked your video, silent F-bomb and all.
Your best reaction in one of the best ever songs of metal !!!
Miljenko Matijevic, Sebastian Bach, Mike Patton, Peter Steele, King Diamond ....imho criminal underrated!!!
There are so many vocalists that are locked into a limited, somewhat narrow range, and cannot stray beyond it---Tate's range was so wide that he could basically do whatever he wanted, which opens up more musical possibilities
Great reaction. Love this performance, and love your enthusiasm about great singing and breakdowns... informative, entertaining, and at times, funny....
Your description of a singers styles and techniques make you videos so much more informative TY
THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR GETTING IT! You identified the exact things about Tate's performance here that are the essence of what it means to be moved by a vocal performance! You are so spot on!
Love that smile✌🏼❤
If you compare this to Silent Lucidity where you really hear his lower register, it sounds like different people singing .. not sure how many years there were between this song and Silent Lucidity, but still ...
MalkavianScream I think Silent Lucidity is one of the most beautiful “rock” songs ever written.
It was about 6 years between albums.
Silent Lucidity is gorgeous, would love a reaction to that!
@@jasonkadlec3929 Amount of cigarettes would probably be a better measurement. And I actually still like his voice on Empire.
He almost "changes" his voice in songs like "One and Only" (kind of like Paul McCartney on "Get Back"). Empire he was exploring his vocal space to new places. Especially on "Promised Land", but I missed those higher registers to accent everything.
Mike you would enjoy Geoff doing Scarborough Fair, not too hard to find. He does the first chorus as a baritone and the second as a soaring tenor. !
Love his rendition of SF.
Because he's an heroic (or helden) tenor
Tate nailed it to the wall with that one.
I heard Geoff say he was a keyboardist. A friend of his needed a singer. So he just did it. From there we got this amazing, unique badass voice.
Dammit Mike, why you gotta make us love you so much?!
By far, the most easy to understand, detailed critique of an explosive track by the phenomenal Geoff Tate.
Michael Kiske of Helloween would be worth a look up. Excellent reaction as always.
We need a reaction video to your reactions lol. You can see the joy and inspiration that music brings to you. Very nice to see and fun to watch.
Saw Geoff this year in Australia he sounded amazing ❤️
The entire Operation Mindcrime record is incredible. I cannot even wrap my mind around Tate's vocals on that record.
I love your channel and your reactions. Tate is a total beast of a vocalist, wish i could have seen him live.
If you are looking for reaction ideas for tracks that have a strong vocalist, and an awesome track then I can recommend Michael Kiske, He's German and been doing this for over 30 years and his voice is as good today as it was when he started
Unisonic - Exceptional - Live at Wacken Open Air 2016
or
Helloween - Keeper Of The Seven Keys (United Alive) - however this track is quite long
First video I’ve ever seen from you and I subbed in under 5 minutes. As a fellow music lover and musician, you rock🤘🏻 Also I saw Geoff’s solo band last winter play the entirety of Rage for Order and Empire and he still has those crazy pipes. A true legend for sure!
The band and Geoff were at the TOP of their game on this tour! The BEST!
I was lucky enough to see Queensrÿche live in the early 80's. And Take Hold of the Flame blew my mind.
