I saw this performed live as a teenager, never seen anything like it since. We were ALL silent and frozen, he hit notes that made tears fall down your face. Once you heard this, you couldnt go back to Poison or Motley Crue. Queensryche touches your Soul.
They played this before it was even released, when I first saw them on their debut (EP) tour in November of 1983, opening for Twisted Sister at the original Ritz in NYC. I was floored deep into my blood and bones. It was the singular highlight of a night sick with highlights. Geoff's voice was the absolute strongest instrument on that stage, among all 10 musicians playing that show. We drove home shaking our heads in awe.
Wow, I'm floored. Absolutely LOVE you guys. I never thought I'd see the day when anyone would EVER react to Roads to Madness. Easily one of THE most obscure & beautiful songs created by the forever infamous & mighty Ryche. Beside this unsung gem IMO are NM156, I Dream in Infrared, Neue Regel & Screaming in Digital for Ryche songs that are "outside the box", yet truly amazing. Please react to any of those...
As a long time Queensryche Fan. (since 84) This is still by far one of the Queensryche best songs ever... and most underrated..! Last track on "The Warning' or if your old school it was the last track on side 2.!
Road To Madness is from Queensryche's first full album "The Warning" from 1984. Before that they had an EP simply called "Queensryche". For a first album, this one hit like a two-ton mortar...
Lol, I caught that..."like a...two ton...heavy thing." Those who end up delving into 'Ryche a little deeper will understand that eventually (little hint; Empire).
This album came out right after I graduated from high school and got my first apartment. "Take Hold of the Flame" shocked me. It was on the radio. I bought 'The Warning" album and was amazed. I'm 56 years old now and still love their music! I loved music back then! So much better than now.
BEST Queensryche album! Used to crank this one at our college 'metal parties' back in the early 80's! Brings back some awesome memories of great times, and rocked out college metal girls we partied with! The songs 'Queen Of The Reich' and 'Lady Wore Black' were from their first release, which was an EP (extended play) short album. It was followed up by the metal masterpiece, 'The Warning', which was their first full album. Such epic, tour de force metal, at a time when the NWOBHM (new wave of British heavy metal) was hitting full force. Queensryche demonstrated that U.S. metal could stand with the best of them!
Whew, the best? Arguably, I agree. But, I've found over the years, to stay the hell away from the "best" question. Especially if it concerns music. You'll just end up second guessing yourself to death lol. I put "Operation Mindcrime" on a self by itself, because it is a "stand alone" piece of work. The greatest "concept LP" ever done. If I HAD to pick one, it's Rage for Order. Countless times I'd que it up and just let it play. But, there's no way that I can dispute your pick of "The Warning" either. I'm good with that too...so there's the quandary lol. I was crushed when ego got the best of em and they imploded. Damn "Guns n Roses" disease I guess. But, the stuff that came after Empire never was quite up to snuff. Especially, when the release of Mindcrime II was announced, I couldn't wait...but damn, what a disappointment it was. Ugh...so, everything up through and including Empire is iconic. The rest? Ugh...
@@jjchmiel78 yeah, Promised Land is an awesome LP...I'm a bit biased because 'Ryche is one of my all-time favorite bands. And, you're correct about the girls. I too was in college when Queensryche kinda "popped." Thinking back, that's probably the first actual kinda "Progressive Metal" band that the chics really got into. The girl I was seeing at the time always had me que up some Queensryche. "The Killing Words" was her favorite. But, what you said certainly brought back some memories. I've got over two hundred live shows under my belt since my first (KISS' Destroyer Tour...I was twelve or so lol), and only got to see em once...OP Mindcrime in Cleveland...they're an outstanding live band too. They had one of the best "sound" guys I've ever heard. Anyway, thanks for the reply...And stay well through all this virus crap.
@@jjchmiel78 Also, I meant to ask if you know of any solo material that any of the members have done that's kinda "under the radar?" Other than what most of us already know? Some "bootleg" stuff maybe?
I love watching y'all. I'm so envious of you listening to Queensryche for the first time. I remember what it was like listening to these guys for the first time...just staring at the speakers with my jaw on the floor. I've loved them from the first note.
My favorite Queensryche song and album! It's from The Warning (1984). It was their first LP. The self titled EP with The Lady Wore Black came out in 1983. Thank you for the great reactions.
I am 62 (in September) i was on the beach at Daytona. A local surfer saw my Mindcrime t-shirt and said, " Awesome.. An old dude that likes Queensryche." Loved it. Yall are the best reaction videos on YT. Keep it up. #LOVEKELNRICH #OLDROCKERSRULE
I remember listening to this album and wondering how they weren't the biggest band in the world. I'd put this album right on par with the two Sabbath/Dio albums of the early 80's and that's saying something.
God, watching this with you guys is like hearing it for the first time. Goosebumps is right, Kel! My memory is hazy but I *believe* Geoff Tate in an interview said he wrote the lyrics after coming down off a drug binge and he was awake something like 3 days straight. Great reaction, guys! \m/ \m/
It's amazing how soft yet powerful and haunting this song is. Like a magnum opus on just thier first full album. The years of practice before debuting were well spent. The slow progression that was building is just an emotional wave that crashes and folds over you and sweeps you away with it.
Brilliant glad you did this. This song is my very favourite queensryche track. It still gives me goosebump and i bought the album in the 80's when it was first released.👊👊🤘🤘
Love love love this channel. #Queensryche Walk In The Shadows Hi from NC. Know what's really cool? Watching you both have the same reaction while you both had your eyes closed and unaware of what each other was doing LOL
Rage for Order is easily the album that captured Geoff Tate's voice at its absolute peak of range, control, power, in short, NO ONE, before or after that album, could come near his voice he had in that era
Just stopping by to show you guys some love and say that I hope you have a fantastic day. I'm cueing up this vid to watch later. Good night from coastal Washington state!
My favorite Queensryche track! A high school era staple cranking out of the Jensen stereo in my Mustang.. I love the great influence of Black Sabbath and Pink Floyd that these guys displayed over their career. To think that this was their first official album still blows me away to this day. You guys are a blast to watch discovering all this great music! Cheers, aaaaaand 'subbed!
It's their first full album. Lady Wore Black was from their EP. The Warning album holds a special place in my heart. It was so different from all the "metal" coming out at the time. They were not afraid to take chances. I love the whole album but Road to Madness really grabbed me. I wore a cassette out listening to it over and over and then was happy to get the CD so I wouldn't have to worry about that. I look forward to you listening to Rage For Order material. I Will Remember is the album's highlight to me. It definitely is goosebumps material. Geoff Tate in his prime is easily my favorite singer of all time. I'd put their EP through Mindcrime as one of the my top 4-5 album runs by any band ever.
Indeed. Tate's voice, and QR overall, was manna from the gods. Even most of their later works all contained some elements of greatness. Such a great band, particularly during their prime (which I'd define as their first 11-12 years. Saw them live in '95, with Type O opening, and was completely floored. they invented at least a dozen new ways to kick ass on that tour, on a nightly basis!).
Great clear hifi playback of the song. Love the chorus at 6:24, 8:04 and 9:19. On a roadtrip, I spent 3 hours of this song on repeat. Great tune. It rocks hard.
But overall Queensryche had absolutely the worst unplugged concert. They didn’t have a thing prepared and only played 6 different songs. I think they played silent lucidity like 4 times. Embarrassing I love Queensryche, but, they massively failed at accoustic
@@6lillium - My personal fave Ryche album. HUGELY underrated. On that album they truly had defined their own sound & style & stood out from ANY other band on the planet.
Kel…..that description you gave at around 15 minutes of how your body reacts and how you feel is 'exactly' how I feel when I listen to this kind of music.... And, the strangest thing is that after almost 40 years, my body, mind and soul still react the same way..... Isn't this the fucking greatest thing?? !!!! K N R.... Keep it up..... Let's get back to some more Queensryche…. Child of Fire.... Same album!!!!
Yeah, I don't understand when some people don't count a band's first release, even if it was an EP. Most bands were putting out EP's as their debut at that time. It doesn't discount it as a record.
Great reaction as always. I would like to recommend another Queensryche song off the "Rage for Order" album. The song is called "London". I think you guys would love it. :)
These were the best songs to play back in high school. Everyone expected Queen of the Ryche and when playing these, eyes got wide and fists in the air. Still love playing these songs even tho my band days are behind me
#Shinedown 45 and #Threedaysgrace Pain these 2 songs saved my life after a suicide attempt. Hello from Connecticut. Love your reactions. Great channel .
There is a fantastic acoustic version of this song on the abum Art of Live. This song and Take Hold of the Flame are 2 of my favorite songs by Ryche. I encourage you to check out later songs like Chasing Blue Skies and Someone Else. There is another song called The Bridge which is about the broken relationship between father and son. Great stuff all the way.
This song was introductory to Operation Mindcrime, prepping us for future greatness!. I was also a huge Iron Maiden fan and The Rhyme of the Ancient Mariner with its changes and complexities always reminded me of Road to Madness.

I'm 53 And remember listening to the cassette laying in bed. High school memories.
This is one of my absolute favorite Queensryche songs. His voice is just perfection.
Probably my favourite Queensryche song. What a voice !!
@Jaxen Alfonso we don't care. Go pound sand, asshat.
It's right there with LONDON.

Road To Madness is from Queensryche's first full album "The Warning" from 1984. Before that they had an EP simply called "Queensryche". For a first album, this one hit like a two-ton mortar...
Yes...got the EP....will have to play it again....soon.
Lol, I caught that..."like a...two ton...heavy thing." Those who end up delving into 'Ryche a little deeper will understand that eventually (little hint; Empire).
Maybe even a 4-ton Mortar, and THAT is a Whollap!
Or a "Two Ton Heavy Thing".
They were awesome right out of the gate. So rare.
This album came out right after I graduated from high school and got my first apartment. "Take Hold of the Flame" shocked me. It was on the radio. I bought 'The Warning" album and was amazed. I'm 56 years old now and still love their music! I loved music back then! So much better than now.
This song gives me chills every time
Revisiting this reaction again after a year.
Geoff's vibrato on his high notes is incomparable!
Totally agreed! Thank you so much for stopping in. Take care HFP! Much love. Kel and Rich

''Neue Regel'', ''The Whisper'', ''Screaming In Digital, ''I Will Remember'' (all from ''Rage for Order album 1986).
My favorite!!! When you get to the last line you're like...BOOM.
Their Cover of Scarborough Fair is haunting and Amazing too!
Hell yeah it is...
I remember listening to this album and wondering how they weren't the biggest band in the world. I'd put this album right on par with the two Sabbath/Dio albums of the early 80's and that's saying something.
MY ALL TIME FAVORITE QUEENSRYCHE ALBUM. THERE BEST ALBUM EVER HANDS DOWN
LOVE THIS SONG. KICK ASS JAM
🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘
Songs like this is why they was always referred to as the thinking mans metal band, some deep lyrics in their songs.
Gawd, what a set of pipes on him!
Simply the BEST of 80's metal, cannot get enuf Queensryche
God, watching this with you guys is like hearing it for the first time. Goosebumps is right, Kel! My memory is hazy but I *believe* Geoff Tate in an interview said he wrote the lyrics after coming down off a drug binge and he was awake something like 3 days straight. Great reaction, guys! \m/ \m/

One of their BEST songs!!!!
Brilliant glad you did this. This song is my very favourite queensryche track. It still gives me goosebump and i bought the album in the 80's when it was first released.👊👊🤘🤘
My favorite group ever!
Such a brilliant song. The second verse has always stood out to me. Just amazing.
*Roads to Madness = Masterpiece!!!*
Couldn't click fast enough!!! Thanks again guys! Spool is another great song. Just do everything from Queensryche
Love love love this channel. #Queensryche Walk In The Shadows Hi from NC. Know what's really cool? Watching you both have the same reaction while you both had your eyes closed and unaware of what each other was doing LOL
Those first 3 Queensryche LPs are just fantastic. Never afraid to take chances.
Rage for Order is easily the album that captured Geoff Tate's voice at its absolute peak of range, control, power, in short, NO ONE, before or after that album, could come near his voice he had in that era
Bingo!!! The gothic feel of Rage was a pre cursor to OM but Rage will always be my favorite!
Yes, yes, yes!
QueensRyche Rules!!!!! We need more of bands like this.
I always felt like Warning was Queensryche's first real concept album.
There is a post apocalyptic theme throughout this record.
One of their best early songs right up there with Take Hold of the Flame. Well done.
Hey you two i have watched this video on repeat many times and this amazing song is really amazing Geoff Tate singing is amazing.
This song is incredibly cinematic.
The late Michael Kamen did the orchestration on this track. Also on No Sanctuary.

Great tune. It rocks hard.
Yes it just keeps getting better and better. At tears at 9:19.
I used to think I was the only onw who loves Queensryche..
My favorite song and album. Thank you!!
#wearewithyou hi again guys! I had literally forgotten how much I love this album! Thank you for reminding me!
If Kel has never heard it, I know she will absolutely love this one.....#JudasPriest "Angel"!!
I'm really liking this. Thanks.
#Queensryche The Killing Words unplugged!!!!
Rage For Order is so good!
The MTV session? That Della Brown Version is absolutely gold!
That Outro solo by Whip... goosebumps...
But overall Queensryche had absolutely the worst unplugged concert. They didn’t have a thing prepared and only played 6 different songs. I think they played silent lucidity like 4 times. Embarrassing I love Queensryche, but, they massively failed at accoustic
Rage for Order fave overall QR album. Killing words acoustic version is def good but lacks the emotional impact & power of the album version IMO.
@@6lillium - My personal fave Ryche album. HUGELY underrated. On that album they truly had defined their own sound & style & stood out from ANY other band on the planet.
A classic.....not played that much these days! Well done.
Thank you for reacting to this song. Queensryche has so many great songs in their catalog.
I have had this album in one form or another since 1984, I've just decided that this is their greatest song. Just my honest opinion.
Fantastic song!
Their EP is their first release. It has four songs. Give it a listen you will be pleasantly surprised.
Off album the warning. Underrated song!
Damn yes!!!
I got home at 2:30 am EST, after DJing , so great to come home to your reacts!
Do yourselves a favor and listen to this album from start to finish.....you'll be glad you did
#Queensryche Scarborough Fair. Best Simon &Garfunkel cover🤘🖤💚 Virginia Beach I work nights so my bedtime is at 5 am lol
I'm in Portsmouth right around the corner from you
Queensryche's "I will Remember," Unplugged. It's a must.
Kel…..that description you gave at around 15 minutes of how your body reacts and how you feel is 'exactly' how I feel when I listen to this kind of music....

Keep it up.....
Let's get back to some more Queensryche….
Child of Fire....
Same album!!!!
She had an eargasm
15:08
That goose bump feeling is called a Geoffgasm. Kind of like a Floorgasm, but more "G". High "G" me thinks ;)
the warning is their 2nd album. queensryche ep is their first.
Yeah, I don't understand when some people don't count a band's first release, even if it was an EP. Most bands were putting out EP's as their debut at that time. It doesn't discount it as a record.
@@adameves5970 then again, some might not know about their ep either.
well an EP is not an album ... it's not just semantics it's literally the definition.
William Ayers it's a record that was released. 1983 is their first record.
@@SouthernCross_ it's an extended play album, a bit shorter than along form album, but also not considered a single.
this is from THE WARNING album, which is also my favorite Queensryche album.
I love the guitar and disco ball in the background. lol. That is awesome.
Man, that transition to 6/8, 7/8 time signatures near the end was seemless!
oooo one of my fav QR songs!
Great reaction as always. I would like to recommend another Queensryche song off the "Rage for Order" album. The song is called "London". I think you guys would love it. :)
London+Screaming in Digital back to back!
My favorite Queensryche song!
Queensryche rules(& Iron Maiden)! Awsome song! 🙏🙏
These were the best songs to play back in high school. Everyone expected Queen of the Ryche and when playing these, eyes got wide and fists in the air. Still love playing these songs even tho my band days are behind me
I so love it when the music takes you both somewhere else...
My favorite song by my favorite band, you should do I Dream in Infrared... Can't wait to watch more...
I keep coming back to this masterpiece!
Hope that you guys are doing well!
*NO SANCTUARY* is another *GREAT* song off that album.
You guys need to check out Take Hold Of The Flame live in Tokyo, will blow your mind!!!
I think that Roads to Madness is Geoff Tate's best effort both vocally and lyrically.
Absolutely amazing.
Fantastic Band N Song, How Bout Some Overkill, Thanx!
#SeventhWonder Welcome to Mercy Falls. Great stuff guys! Greetings from Sweden!
Epic song
Another great to pair with this is No Sanctuary off the same album - very ethereal and wall of soundish. #nosanctuary
LOL I love watching these reaction videos, especially around 12:00 - business is about to pick up :)
@queensryche 'the warning.' my all time favorite. I still love listening to them.......

My request is queensryche walk in the shadows
Someone else?
This song was introductory to Operation Mindcrime, prepping us for future greatness!. I was also a huge Iron Maiden fan and The Rhyme of the Ancient Mariner with its changes and complexities always reminded me of Road to Madness.
Intro to Rage for Order... Mindcrime came after Rage
@@A_DR I was inferring the song Road to Madness was a prelude to Operation MindCrime. I knew early on this band had something special going for them.
This is what good music is about, i graduated in 1984 and seen this band lots and smoked many joints to this song with my lady.
could never figure lyrics out for this album damn they were even more complex then i thought. soo poetic like crazy poetic
