This dong describes my recovery from a Traumatic Brain Injury from being shot in the head. This year is my 27th Anniverary of surviving. This song helped push me onward when I wanted to quit. Thanks Queendryche.
+MrGreycharles Rap is good too and even Metal can be pretentious, just listen to Glam Metal or pornogore. You can enjoy Rap and Metal like Anthrax and Faith No More does.
Ken Brookins - Late 80's early 90's my friend, Freddie Woods, a tall black man from Detroit was a drummer in a local band & a DJ at KOMP a rock station in Vegas for years. One of the biggest and baddest head bangers I ever knew and an AWESOME radio personality! Biggest fan of KISS i ever knew, too. His skin color was irrelevant to me. In fact, we had been hanging out for a couple of years when one day I said to him, "OMG! Freddie you're a black man!". He replied, " You just noticed that?". "Actually, yes" I replied. We both laughed about that for a long time afterwards. When he would play the song "Hot Cherie" by Hardline at KOMP during his shift, that was a cue for me to come by the station with a bottle of Gewertztiminer (sp?) wine. He got a lot of "love" from the white chicks always until he married one. We had so much fun hanging out back then. Then, as is now, skin color means nothing to me. It's the person inside that matters. Ken Brookins, keep on rocking!
welcome to the world of skin-color-doesn't-matter; and "black" is a strange word for a culture (which is shaped passively by slavery and Jim Crow) rather than a race. As a white guy who is also into this music, I feel like I share some assets of the "black" culture despite my taste in music, but I don't really need to elaborate on this, man. Don't feel weird.
After a Car Crash in Little Rock Arkansas back in 1997 that broke both of my legs and was forced to a Wheelchair for a while with casts on both of my legs. I was told that I would probably never walk again and this was my life going forward. I contemplated Suicide and just ending myself until a former friend made me start listening to this track over and over again. It gave me the Strength to Fight back and take my life back. I stared Death in the face but I didnt let death take my life or the life that I live now. In the Verse I wont be torn between the man in the Chair and the man in my dreams, I'm going to melt the 2 men into 1. That gave me the strength and the power to come back from that part of my life and now I'm walking and have been since 1999. I have a 15yr old daughter and living in Florida. I'm truly being the Best I Can
I've been in this "Private Chair" since a 1992 train accident which left me paralyzed since the age of 17. I've used this song as a call to arms if you know what I mean to be the best man that I can be. My daughter calls me the greatest Dad she could ever ask for, so that's good enough for me. Thank you to Queensryche for this song and all who have helped me on this long, painful journey. I won't be torn between the man in the chair and the man who's in my dreams!!
Within Queensryche's music from '86 to '90, you could hear a very subtle proggy vibe (namely Rush, Saga, Pink Floyd), along with the main influence (Iron Maiden). That's why, at that time, the band was so popular (and so original).
Being in a wheelchair since birth ( I have Spina Bifida) this song has a special meaning to me. Shows that if you have your mind set on something ANYTHING is possible
Oh my Lord; i wish i was in my early twenties again : bret, curt, dan, rob, chris, john dan, meline, jessica, eric, and those not forgotten, i miss you so. Im he, the Juice... still Loving you
Music can make a difference I have melanoma skin cancer and this song makes me not want to give up life has opportunity and I want to get it and be alive as long as I can.
This song describes me surviving a catastrophic Traumatic Brain Injury, TBI, from being shot twice in the head. I wasn't wheelchair bound, but when the horror is trapped in your head, you can't escape it. I'm now 38 years post injury and have accomplished more than I ever thought I could have. "Now I'm moving forward and I'm never looking back," powerful words I've lived. Music has power and Metal has driven me forward and classical music and jazz allows me to chill out. Bottom line, never quit on yourself, never stop, never say never! Thanks Queensryche, I've chosen to be the "Best I Can."- US ARMY Veteran, ENGINEERS!
I just truly love reading the comments of this video. Such inspiring people sharing their storys of overcoming difficulties in life. Metal unites and inspires.
Has a guitar player songwriter myself and fan of them since their first album, I think one of the things that made them a truly great band is that everyone in that band knew their place and worked to make the song the star. The solos weren't over done, the drums were right where they should be, the bass filled in the low end perfectly and Tate delivered the lyrics and melodies with perfection. The other thing that made them stand out from a lot of other bands of their era was that they were actually writing songs about something besides just partying and tits. They took a lot of heat early on being labeled as iron maiden copycats, but I think they did their own thing and had their own sound. I saw them live for the empire album tour and they sounded spot on with the album live. That album had a lot of production in it, but the fact they were able to pull it off live very convincingly it is a testament to how good they were as a band. Still blows my mind that Geoff Tate was a damn smoker. That's probably half the reason he can't hit a lot of those notes anymore.
"I won't be torn between The man in the chair and the man that's in my dream I'm going to melt the two men into one" These lyrics have to be one of the best motivators i have ever heard for both a message and a song
Indeed my fellow metal heads....All we can do is pass these Classic songs on to....well in my case to my son....And be really appreciates them all...And now he is on his own path to The New kind of Metal like Sabaton...And to tell y'all the God's Honest Truth THEY are GREAT....Right now here in Jersey it's raining Out so I turned him out to Crimson Glory....Lady of winter.....but anyway this is what we as The older Generation need to do is pass all the Good Metal to the youngsters...Like Fates Warning....No exit....Ray Adler's Voice on Silent Cries Classic.... But John Arch has a set of pipes...as well anyway enough of my rambling...LETS KEEP THY METAL ALIVE...,\m/
I also saw "Disturbed" "The Light".. Its another powerful rock song and very uplifting.. would like to hear your take on THAT as well.. trying to find more too..
I was in college when this came out. It definitely inspired me to “be the best I can”. We really need more music of all genres with a positive message as opposed to the negativity we find these days…Thank you Geoff Tate and Queensryche.
This was my anthem after my car accident that left me a paraplegic. Helped me accept and adapt. Always a favorite song. Thanks so much for inspiring me
This song is very inspiring to me ! Considering I was pushed off of a roof back in August 92 due to a selfish act of an individual. Now I am a quadriplegic trying to live the best I can and trying to do the best I can for me and my fellow human beings!! Queensryche has been a very special part in my life especially this song has helped keep me out of serious depression and to help me continue the fight to live a happy life.

Don't worry, dear he'll never find the gun A child alone in daddy's room The gun was hidden here No one home to catch me when I fall A young man now in a private chair I've seen the world through a bitter stare But my dream is still alive I'm going to be the best I can I want to be a busy man I want to see a change in the future I'm gonna make the best of what I have I want to write for a magazine I'm gonna be the best they've ever seen I know I'll win if I give it all I can I won't let go Gotta make the grade, no I won't let go To be the best man, the best man that I can Back street hoop star you've got it good You were the wonder of the crumbling neighborhood Now taking bids on the next six digit plan Showed me that my will survived The tragedy that came into my life Giving me hope and the new start that I have And I won't let go Gotta make the grae no, I won't let go To be the best man, the best man that I can Step by step I dream the plan From my chair to walking man This constant dream is on my mind Chase the light I see ahead Luminate the path I tread I live to be the best I can Now I'm moving forward and I'm never looking back Straight ahead, focused on the big attack On a roll and I'm never slowing down I won't be torn between The man in the chair and the man that's in my dream I'm going to melt the two men into one And I won't let go Gotta make the grade I set no, I won't let it go To be the best man, The best man that I can The best man that I can The best man that I can

These guys wrote some absolutely amazing songs. This period of Rock was simply brilliant. Geoff had an amazing voice and Chris wrote some truly fantastic songs. Miss them. Steve 👍
PERFECT TIMING AS ALWAYS.SO MUCH TO SHARE FOR ENCOURAGEMENTS SAKE. JUST TO SEE YOU SMILE. MAN MY ADULT CHILDREN BLESS ME. YOUR GIFTS BLESS ME. I NLESS YOU WITH THE GREATEST PEACE TO BE FOUND ON EARTH RIGHT NOW. Rod.🤪😇🥶
I was 15 when this album was released. I had been playing drums for about 2 years, this song in particular taught me so much! 🤘 Scott Rockenfield rocks!
I first heard this more than 30 years ago. Still an awesome song! I would love to hear a remix, with maybe less synth, and Bass rumble replacing the synth cinema backwash. Geoff Tata still has an amazing voice
It sucks ass that the first progressive metal band that wrote the most thought provoking, mind-expanding music has parted ways. Geoff Tates' vocals crushed everyone and still do. And Chris DeGarmos' guitar work and songwriting stand alone. Metal has a vitality of its own and has taken music to the extreme ; it cannot get any harder, faster, technical, emotional nor progressive. That is why it is the sickest form of music humans can create.
Back then Heavy Metal was the most popular genre of Music. So it attracted the most powerful and talented musicians. Nowadays those talented musicians make songs for kpop music.
@@johnparks33GREAT COMMENT -I agree 100% Halford, King Diamond, David Wayne, Biff Byford, Bruce Dickinson, Phil Lynott, Lemmy, UDO just to name a few and many more than that !!!🎸 🎸🎸
This Song has helped my mom is is a rocker and now has serious spinal conditions that have put her in a wheelchair and she also has cervical cancer so this is her song
Ever Since I Heard This Song after EMPIRE........................ I fell in love with these guys! To Go BACK & Listen to "Operation Mind Crime" Is an absolute Blessing! Queensryche is AWESOME even in 2021!

Queensryche deserve to be mentioned in the same category as Rush, Dream Theater, etc.

Absolutely

Almost all the world believes him
Wait out the storm
5 months later the real Messiah comes and the ark angel Michael lays hold on him and puts him in the pit for 1,000 years while the whole world now in supernatural bodies sees it
The ones who did not worship the filthy dog stay in The Millennium Temple and all those suckers are outside
After the 1,000 years he is released a short season
Whoever sides with him then?
Well
I wouldn't want to be them at The Great White Throne Judgement
The only thing a soul gets to take with them is their good works
Keep it up
I hope whoever pushed you is behind bars and out of toilet paper now.
One of the most inspirational hard rock songs of all time

These guys are just amazing
So true. The good old days of great music, lost to rap.
Bullshit. Rap didn’t kill this nor did Grunge. Groups like Queensryche were remnants of the 80s, and by 91 that tone of music was over.
What's wrong with rap or rock or metal or pop or whatever music there are in this world... Music is as music are ...
My God,so true!!
The bass is absolutely stonking.
Don't worry, dear he'll never find the gun
A child alone in daddy's room
The gun was hidden here
No one home to catch me when I fall
A young man now in a private chair
I've seen the world through a bitter stare
But my dream is still alive
I'm going to be the best I can
I want to be a busy man
I want to see a change in the future
I'm gonna make the best of what I have
I want to write for a magazine
I'm gonna be the best they've ever seen
I know I'll win if I give it all I can
I won't let go
Gotta make the grade, no I won't let go
To be the best man, the best man that I can
Back street hoop star you've got it good
You were the wonder of the crumbling neighborhood
Now taking bids on the next six digit plan
Showed me that my will survived
The tragedy that came into my life
Giving me hope and the new start that I have
And I won't let go
Gotta make the grae no, I won't let go
To be the best man, the best man that I can
Step by step I dream the plan
From my chair to walking man
This constant dream is on my mind
Chase the light I see ahead
Luminate the path I tread
I live to be the best I can
Now I'm moving forward and I'm never looking back
Straight ahead, focused on the big attack
On a roll and I'm never slowing down
I won't be torn between
The man in the chair and the man that's in my dream
I'm going to melt the two men into one
And I won't let go
Gotta make the grade I set no, I won't let it go
To be the best man,
The best man that I can
The best man that I can
The best man that I can
Super song
Mindcrime may have been a masterpiece, but this one was the most powerful album they ever released. Lyrically, vocally and sound.

Chris DeGarmo: The most underrated songwriter & lead guitarist in rock history!!!!Chris DeGarmo is Awesome!!!!
Queensryche is the most underated band in the 80s and early 90s
So good. Few equals in this genre...
Theee Ultimate Band with thee ultimate song 🤘🏼💓💓💓
Queensryche is like nothing weve ever heard in life i will always listen to them till i die
Geoff Tate has one of the most distinctive and smoothest singing voices in Rock/Metal history. I love this song!
Damn! This man has a voice that a lot of guys can only dream of having!
Jeff Tate's voice is so unique and powerful
***** the best voice of all time geoff tate.
+IRON BLACK SABBATH MAIDEN Juda? So true. He was the best.
Sandra Noneofyourbusiness sorry his name is geoff :-)
Steve Perry and John Schilt tank up there with him.
It's Jeoff Tate. He was an opera singer. Seen him twice. Taught me a lot.
is there anything more uplifting than this?What a song
Are you really serious about your claim? I bet you are not.
Oh happy day by Walter hawkins
All fired up from Petra 1988 likely
I was 15 when this album was released. I had been playing drums for about 2 years, this song in particular taught me so much! 🤘 Scott Rockenfield rocks!
That bass ride at 3:37 is the best bass ride I've ever heard. Who knew riding the E string would sound so mean.. damn!
For sure!😉
All there albums were different in contrast. Just like Rush. Awesome talented Musicians!
曲がかかって、歌いだした途端、心の底から痺れた。MelodyLINE の美しさ、物悲しさ、圧倒的な力、世界一愛するバンド。
I used this son as I went through Lyme disease treatment in 1993 while at an intense college. Now I use as my 15 year old is adjusting to a wheelchair
you rarely have a band that has it all: well written music, actual lyrical content and a timeless voice.
Absolutely one of my favs from Queensryche !!
I agree! I haven't heard this song in years! Such an inspirational song for people!
Best hard/metal band of the years 1990, 1991
What a song, what an Album, what a Band! WOW!!! Never gets old!
I love Queensryche
I first heard this more than 30 years ago. Still an awesome song!
I would love to hear a remix, with maybe less synth, and Bass rumble replacing the synth cinema backwash.
Geoff Tata still has an amazing voice
It sucks ass that the first progressive metal band that wrote the most thought provoking, mind-expanding music has parted ways. Geoff Tates' vocals crushed everyone and still do. And Chris DeGarmos' guitar work and songwriting stand alone. Metal has a vitality of its own and has taken music to the extreme ; it cannot get any harder, faster, technical, emotional nor progressive. That is why it is the sickest form of music humans can create.
it didnt crush rob halfords XD
You obviously know nothing about RUSH, the God's of music, progressive rock, and concept albums.
Not Layne Staley’s power

The Holy Trinity of Rock✊🏻
Back then Heavy Metal was the most popular genre of Music. So it attracted the most powerful and talented musicians. Nowadays those talented musicians make songs for kpop music.
This proves that queenryche is still the best band and Geoff vocals are off the chart
Underrated. Geoff is second to none
He is second to many
Yes he is
@@johnparks33GREAT COMMENT -I agree 100% Halford, King Diamond, David Wayne, Biff Byford, Bruce Dickinson, Phil Lynott, Lemmy, UDO just to name a few and many more than that !!!🎸 🎸🎸
This Song has helped my mom is is a rocker and now has serious spinal conditions that have put her in a wheelchair and she also has cervical cancer so this is her song
One of the most underrated bands of the 80s-90s serious vocals and.sick guitar
Really love this song guys. Thanks ❤😂
Doesn't age!
best vocal ever
My personal anthem - a woman ;-) Queensryche with Geoff Tate is da bomb
Ever Since I Heard This Song after EMPIRE........................ I fell in love with these guys! To Go BACK & Listen to "Operation Mind Crime" Is an absolute Blessing! Queensryche is AWESOME even in 2021!
