To answer your question, YES. Geoff Tate still performs, I just saw him perform a month ago in Vegas. He still sounds great. Not like he did in 1984, but he still rocks. He did the opening scream to Queen of the Ryche and my brain exploded inside my skull. I was once again a screaming 16 year old kid watching him sing live in 1986 Rage for Order tour in Los Angeles. Amazing singer. One of the greatest singers in heavy metal history.
Geoff has a crowd of backup singers (the crowd) always great.
I saw the same show in Nashville. He’s lost a little register but was all I remember from the shows I saw since Rage for Order.

Music from this era was epic.
This song is pretty heavy for its time...those drums! (kick drums)
Queen of the Reich was one of their first songs, it came out on their self titled EP. Also on this concert video (I still have the VHS tape of that 1984 concert in Tokyo) was "Take Hold of the Flame" from their first full length album, The Warning. And the "Roads to Madness" track that you reacted to was also from The Warning.
Their original EP was a watershed moment where Queensryche started to build an underground legion of metal fans, unreal level of playing and musicality for their first metal offering. I was taken in by the EP and listen to it and the next three albums to this day. Next was The Warning, a landmark statement album that established Queensryche as a legit Metal Band and they toured with many headlining bands and consistently equaled or out performed them. Next album was Rage for Order, it went more techno edgy but the metal progressive remained. Then came the much-acclaimed best concept album ever, Operation Mindcrime. After that I struggled to gel with later albums even tho there were some catchy tunes here and there. Queensryche always seemed to have a divergent element from album to album following The Warning, their EP and The Warning were familiar, less divergent, where The Warning was more like an evolutionary progression of the EP.
Totally agree with you friend. I first saw these guys in 1986 Rage for Order tour. I was 16, my brain literally melted inside my skull when he sang Take Hold of the Flame and Queen of the Ryche. Truly one of the most outstanding bands of the 80's and 90's.
They weren't the same after Chris DeGarmo left. Tate was still their, but DeGarmo's song writing and structuring was da'bomb.
I am a Queensryche fan from the beginning, and have seen them live so many times as well as many many many other bands and I can honestly say they are awesome live... To me they are the Greatest band ever and yes I said it...Geoff Tate/Chris DeGarmo are the best writing duo combination, wish they could of all stayed together to keep making great music..🤘
I could not agree with you more!!!
1001% agree with you. Awesome band
Listen to their first four in their entirety! Best live band ever they're so consistent I've seen them 25 plus x s live! Rage for order stands out as much as operation mindcrime.
@@kevinchuvala4104 my favorite band also. Rage for order was one the first digitally recorded albums
@@stargazer4625
I read that it was Mindcrime that was one of the first digitally recorded albums, and that their label hated the way it sounded, wanting a lusher, more listener-friendly recording. But the band thought it was just right for the Mindcrime story and fought to keep it as is, which the label finally agreed to.
Fucking Epic, A Masterpiece.
I also have the VHS of this concert (just bought DVD). When I'm feeling down, my go-to is any TH-cam video of Queensryche being reacted to by anybody but particularly the accredited Vocal Coaches. It sounds corny but some bring me to tears. All of these experts having their minds blown!!
You have no idea just how impeccable Queensryche was at their apex!
Geoff looking like Elvis at this show
Saw them a few times in the 80s and Tate was untouchable at that time .
That's from their self titled ep. The next 2 releases( The Warning & Rage For Order ) are equally as good. They are not the same band without Geoff!
Early Queensryche was more straight metal . Then they turned to awesome Prog Metal .
You need "NM 156" from this album. Every QR album is quite different than the the others.
NM 156 is from "The Warning." QOTR is from the EP.
@@whatchutalkinbout It's true, I don't know how I messed that up. Oops.
Rockenfeld is one of the most underrated drummers, he is really good, the whole band is really
Definitely check out “Breaking The Silence”, “Walk In The Shadows”, and “I Dream In Infrared” next! Would love to see those songs get some much needed recognition!!
It's probably been posted already, but this was off of the EP.
Their first album.
Queen of the Ryche is their signature song, like The Who's "Won't Get Fooled Again," Zeppelins "Stairway," or Yes's "Roundabout."
At the time, this was also one of the most intense metal songs of any band.
Comparable to Judas Pries, or yes - Iron Maiden - but this particular song was heavier than just about anything those bands had released up until that time.
That double bass during the solo...
Check out blinded live in Tokyo 1984 same concert!!
as someone that was 19 when this came out. It is the first song they released
The GoaT.......and Super Group.....
Those drums! Wowwwwww
This song is from the demo that got them signed
LOL...when you said "...like Iron Maiden" I laughed. Because yes, when they had first formed up in Washington, they did many Iron Maiden covers. This was the first Queensryche song (and EP) I heard back in the early 80's...and all was good in the world. This should be good watching you react to it.
Will not listen to queensryche without Tate.
Your loss.
I can't listen to Todd singing their old songs. Those belong to Geoff, and he's the only one I want to hear singing them.
I don't mind hearing Todd if it's something new, but nothing that Geoff sang. Just can't do it.
Purple Kat, totally with you there
OMG this girl is gorgeous!! Doh!
"Walk in the Shadows".....👍
If u want to listen to the full EP (4 songs), you could do next Nightrider + Blinded since they're too short. And also, a song to react without Chris DeGarmo could be "Right Side Of My Mind"
Saw that tour 🤘🤘🤘🎸 man ryche was beyond awesome 🤘🤘🤘 80s metal ruled gen x baby 🤘🤘🤘🤘
Lol well, THAT whole 1982 album is an EP, with a grand total of 4 songs, or 5, if you get the later version. But I most certainly HIGHLY recommend it! This song is the opener, then Nightrider, then Blinded, and closing with The Lady Wore Black. Phenomenal debut EP! Take Hold Of The Flame came out on the first full album, in 84, The Warning, which also is a phenomenal album, as is Rage For Order. To me, thats the best Queensryche. After that was Operation:Mindcrime, which is amazing, but due to the format, they’d changed and to my ears, something got lost. It’s just different, I know … like comparing The Who’s Tommy to their work prior to that album.
More Queensryche please.
Also, more Iron Maiden please.
And this was the ninth song of that that nite
The songs with vocal gymnastics seem to be more popular with reactors.
You can find tracks on all their albums that are much more subdued and thought provoking.
Musicianship and having a social consciousness became more important to them collectively as the band grew in maturity, popularity and gained more autonomy from record companies.
It’s ok, not everyone gets QR. I strongly believe that the EP and the first 2 albums were more what their label wanted and the albums following were more of the direction the band wanted to travel.
It was more about the quality and message of the music on their later albums than the bells, whistles and gimmicks that made a lot of bands “successful”.
Not wanting to be confrontational but to me Queenrsyche got more boring over time, the EP and the first 2 albums are easily their best stuff imo, Mindcrime was ok then it all went wrong
@@locusmortis
I too don't want to be confrontational, but I see their EP and following five albums as just different aspects of the band's writing journey. They seemed to always want to break fresh ground in their songwriting, but still retained the intensity and somewhat dark edge that characterize most QR songs.
They were very diverse in what they could write. Not every band is so versatile.
I want Geoff back badly!
This song is from there ep 1983
Ah The Warning ⚠️ a classic metal album and all the songs are bangers 👌 🔥 Cassandra is wearing the perfect outfit for The Lady wore Black. And sorry the level of legendary music could never match the magic of Tate and DeGarmo unfortunately lightning 🌩 only strikes once!!!!
Geoff was just in Memphis this past Wednesday at Lafayette Music Room.
Cassandra knows good singing lol
And still don't understand how folks think this sounds anything like iron maiden?!?!?!
I've never seen this, it's amazing!
They are very talented!
Greatness from the start! This is Queensrÿche beginning. The producer had no idea the concept of metal music floor mat. They never even put in roads to madness 8 min song song that guy edited it out. Sad!
Geoff Tate in his prime. Pretty much unbeatable. ;)
Check out gonna get close to you from queensrych and screaming in digital from rage for order awesome video 💯 give it a look 🤘🤘🤘💯💯
It's not like iron maiden this is their first album the songs off of check out their second album warning you said apparently they got a little worse wrong all their songs are awesome from the first album to the last and the band has a new singer kind of sounds like Jeff but not all the way Jeff was professionally trained to sing
Does Cassandra have a TH-cam channel
Hi from Germany!
Found your channel just half an hour ago, so i do not know all of your reactions. BUT if you did not react to: "Skid Row - 18 and life" yet, you verily have to do that!! Fuckin´ rockin´ greetings🤘
Thank you for watching!! We did that song already if you haven't seen it yet!!
You two should check out Helloween.
Geoff Tate was the bomb back in the day. Not sure if he blew his voice, or just decided he didn't want to do it anymore but when they moved away from this sound they totally lost me.
I still jam out to the first 3 albums all the time.
I even really like the brand new stuff with Todd La Torre. It's not the same as this, but still WAY better than the "lost years" to me and my musical tastes.
The lady wore black should be next same concert should be next
We just posted that one actually!!
You two are quite awful at this stuff. I appreciate it!!!
That's from 1984 they changed allot there old know like mindcrime better but this kick ass live
Incredible performance of an incredibly dumb song...
I love it.
--Shannon
They’re like Metallica. Stick to the first three albums. The older the queensryche the better.
Who's the jerk?
check out Ryche with todd latorre...Just as good. Todds Elite as well vocally
