Queensryche at last! That's what I call a legendary band - welcome to the fascinating world of the progressive metal music. 🎶 ❤🎉
In almost 35 years, I still have yet to find a record rhat "sounds" better than Empire. The production is immaculate. And prime Geoff Tate is unmatched.
Promised Land’s production is pretty darn good too 😉
From this band, the album 'Operation: Mindcrime', is pretty much the greatest concept album ever made. So, there's that.
Thank you for this reaction!
I used to have lucid dreams when I was a kid, total neo-in-the-Matrix moments, and this song really brings me back. Love it.
Geoff Tate is one of the best vocalists of all time, and not just in metal.
A truly overlooked album by Queensrÿche is Rage For Order. Walk In The Shadows, I Dream In Infrared, Gonna Get Close To You, so many great songs.
I got into that album after Mindcrime. I saw them open for Metallica in 1989. They just were not the same without DeGarmo. They got more popular but in my opinion they lost something. Tate belting out the phrase "I only see in Infrared" has played in my head through out my life.
Love Mindcrime, but Rage is my favorite Queensrÿche album. SO. MANY. BANGERS. "Neue Regel," "Screaming in Digital," "Surgical Strike," on and on. Basically the entire album is a force of nature.
@@TheePIBI couldn’t agree more, Rage is such a great album
She's so pretty.
Huge Queensryche fan here lol
If you love his voice and want to see how dynamic it is and his vocal range, look up live version ( Japan 1985 i believe) of Take Hold Of The Flame. ( all Geoff , no toys helping the vocals)
Chris DeGarmo (guitar) was the songwriting mastermind of Queensryche... the band he founded in the early 80's w/ Geoff Tate (vocals), Michael Wilton (guitar), Eddie Jackson (bass) and Scott Rockenfield (drums)... DeGarmo hit the jackpot when 'Silent Lucidity' became a major pop single in 1991 from their 4th album 'Empire' in 1990... it was a song he wrote about telling his baby girl about dreams.
Classical composer/ conductor Michael Kamen arranged the strings on the track.
It's a pity Chris DeGarmo ended up leaving Queensryche in 1998 after the failure of the Queensryche album 'Hear in the now frontier' in 1997, which was an attempt to appeal to grunge/ alternative rock fans in the 90's... DeGarmo did co-write the 'Tribe' album by Queensryche in 2003 but has since retired from the music industry... Singer Geoff Tate took Queensryche in odd musical directions afterwards, before he was fired in 2012 after an altercation w/ the band members.
Currently, Geoff Tate tours solo and performs mostly Queensryche songs... while Queensryche returned to a heavy metal sound w/ current vocalist Todd LaTorre... only guitarist Michael Wilton and bassist Eddie Jackson are original members today... Casey Grillo (drums) replaced Scott Rockenfield in 2017... Guitarist Mike Stone rejoined Queensryche in 2022 (he played in Queensryche from 2003 to 2008)
Other Queensryche classics - 'Roads to madness'... 'Anybody listening?' ... 'Jet city woman'... "I don't believe in love" ... 'Lady Jane' ... 'Sign of the times'... 'London'...
I appreciate that you didn't suggest all the songs others have reacted to a hundred times already.
I want to see a full on reaction to NM-156. That dual guitar solo is mind bendingly good!
It's about lucid dreaming. Something I would imagine would be a very cool thing to be able to do.
The Operation Mindcrime album is a must listening
Do “Eyes of a Stranger “ if you want to hear the man really sing.
OPERATION MINDCRIME!!!
If you're into lyrics and stories, this is it.
Be safe
'Ethereal quality' is perhaps the phrase you're looking for and I completely agree with you
I was going to say 'Mystical' but maybe 'Ethereal' works better. :)
This song and video got some heavy rotation on MTV in 1991. It was the only Queensryche song I knew, for several years. But I have come to love their 80's music later on. Singer Geoff Tate has incredible range, but he's always fundamentally a silky smooth voice.
So this needs to be followed for longer, they made one of the most importnt albums in rock/metal history! Operation mindcrime is a major milestone as an album. The singer is also apperaing on Avantasia projects asinging with others. Also if you like him with just a piano but even more dynamic singing then Someone Else? is a great song.
Someone Else is absolutely my favorite performance from him. I suggest it on every queensryche reaction video.
This song is about the subject of lucid dreaming, hence, "Lucidity" in the title. It's certainly a really trippy and sometimes scary subject matter when it comes to how we dream and what we can do to influence those dreams.
The song is about Geoff's fascination with lucid dreaming.
These guys are the thinking man's progressive metal band. They did an album, "Operation Mindcrime", that is probably the best concept album ever, by anyone. it does need to be listened to in its entirety, because it is a story, so it might be a bit much to expect for a reaction, but I still can't recommend it enough.
this song is one of the most PinkFloydvibes i ever heard (which is a compliment in itself)....a truly masterpiece
It's happened to me a couple of times. I usually don't remember dreams, but on rare occasion, I'm aware I AM dreaming. If I don't like what's happening in my dreams, I can usually change the entire scene and events within them. I love this song SO much! The music and the vocals just kinda wash over you.
When I feel like a cry, I sometimes go here 😢
Yeah I really liked this song when it came out, but when I became a father it took an a whole new dimension. Now I cannot listen to it without tearing up uncontrollably lol
I learned to control my dreams through lots of practice. Eventually, I could fly by flapping my arms. It was very tiring though and couldn't do it for long. We need to hear more Queensryche!
Yeah I learned to fly in my dreams too. The setting of the dream was the ball field behind my school that as a young teen I daily walked on the way home so was perfectly familiar with every square foot of… and at the end of the football/soccer part beyond the goal was a berm before the chain link fence and as I was walking up it to go where the hole in the fence was, I kinda tripped… but instead of falling I just kinda floated there. And I looked around, just hovering a foot off the grass and directed myself to float up about 20 feet in the air, way above the goal posts looking down on them. But not panicking about the heights I wondered if I’d be able to get down and my mind directed me to gently float back to earth so that I was hovering again just inches from the grass, my nose crew thing in the smell of the grass and everything ! It was so vividly real to me. And then I really pushed it and flew up way way higher like 100 feet in the air so I could take in at a glance the entire field and back of the school and neighbouring houses in the community. And I cloud direct my flight any direction if I wanted. It was me directing the course of the dream, not a series of events happening to me.
I cannot say it was surreal because of how real and detailed it all was. But it was a fleeting moment, a dream I’ve unfortunately only had a handful of times since in my 50ish years on this planet. But I can truly say that I know what it feels to fly because of that dream.
Being in control of your dreams is an amazing experience, but the huge wall is you have been able to realize your dreaming within your dream without waking up to utilize lucid dreaming, but once do do that you are only limited to your imagination within your dream. I like to take off flying immediately once I realize I'm dreaming, especially if I or someone I love are in any kind of danger, sometimes an unreal danger is a triggering point for me to realize and take control. I also often take control of elements and shape my dream into whatever I want it to be. I think mostly anyone is capable of doing it, maybe not as often as others. I myself only do it without waking up once in a while. I definitely wish I could always do it, its such a euphoric ethereal feeling and this song embodies that really well.
I don't think anybody knows just how big this song was back in the day...I was a older teenager back then at it was playing everywhere on radio and MTV
This was the first song I learned to play guitar to. Love this song.
Its a song about loss, but the soft side of it. It doesn't have to be hard, sometimes its beautiful.
This song is so ethereal. Great reaction! You won’t be disappointed if you dive deeper into the Queensryche pond. Try early “Take hold of the flame” or “Queen of the reich” for some good vocals
One of my favorites and underrated queensryche songs is Someone Else
It’s amazing seeing people from all different generations, backgrounds, musical tastes, discover this song. I’ve heard this track a gazillion times, and seeing y’all hear it for the first time has rejuvenated my love for this masterpiece. 🥰
This album came out my Sophomore year of high school and it was my favorite album that year by far! If you really want to get to know Queensrÿche, you really need to check out Operation:Mindcrime and the song, "The Lady Wore Black", which is off one of their earlier albums. Queensrÿche hailed from the Seattle music scene several years before grunge took the helm in the late 80's and early 90's. Empire is the album that "Silent Lucidity" is on, and it too is an incredible song that remains relevant to this day in terms of its subject matter. Also, check out "Jet City Woman" when you have a chance! Thanks for bringing back some fond memories by reviewing this amazing song!
The song is about lucid dreaming. If you are not familiar with the topic, you can look it up. It's when you are dreaming and you realize that you are in a dream and your concious mind can take over the dream and make it whatever you want . I have done it before. It's a rare event but the more it happens, the more you can control it.❤🤍💙
It is absolutely possible to control your dreams. I’m not successful at it 100% of the time, but I NEVER have dreams about monsters or “bad guys” chasing me since I learned how to control my dreams.
But how I overcame irrational fears in my nightmares was by building confidence in my real waking life. I was bullied through most of my life. In my teens through to my mid 20’s I applied myself to learning, practising self defence, karate first, then jiu-jitsu and once I realized I wasn’t powerless in real life, I developed effective agency in dreams.
Now the only nightmares I have are of work lol…
… and of course losing loved ones… everyone’s powerless against that…
My earliest self directed dream was where I learned to fly. The setting of the dream was the ball field behind my school that as a young teen I daily walked on the way home so was perfectly familiar with every square foot of… and at the end of the football/soccer part beyond the goal was a berm before the chain link fence and as I was walking up it to go where the hole in the fence was, I kinda tripped… but instead of falling I just kinda floated there.

One of the best singers to come out of the 80s
You mentioned Labyrinth, The Neverending Story, and Little Nemo The Dream Master. You gained so many cool points with me. That was my childhood right there
This music matches the subject of the song SOOO well! It's about Lucid Dreaming. Where people learn to actually take control of their dreams so they can do what they want in them. And this just fits all that so perfectly.
This is one of my all time favorite songs. I have always thought of The Labyrinth, The Neverending Story, The Dark Crystal, even Hook when listening to it.
Queensryche is a rare band because every album sounded different and had a different vibe. They went from being futuristic post apocalyptic warriors (EP/The Warning), to techno/goth vampires (Rage For Order, probably their most underrated work), to 80s nihilists (Operation Mindcrime), to pop metal rockers (Empire), to introspective art rockers (Promised Land) ... But seriously, check out Rage for Order :)
Little Nemo is not just a game - it is one of the greatest comics strips ever, running between 1905 and 1911 in the New York Herald. And the kid flying in his bed is just iconic for over 100 years now.
Great reaction! May I suggest "Take Hold of the Flame". You'll get to hear the full lengths of his range. Keep doing what you do!
Masterpiece!!😍and one of my favorite songs ever.
One of the best Progressive Rock bands out of the 90s Alternative era.
You read my mind thinking of Little Nemo in Slumberland, for you the game for me the classic book series I read in English Class in Junior High and then the anime. I never knew they actually made videogames. Little Nemo was always very underrated. I remember in an interview back in the day Chris where Chris said the song was written as his own personal lullaby to his daughter. Chris actually performs with her and her band (The Rue). Rylie's voice is gorgeous and quite unique.
More Queensryche please!!!!
So you've heard him croon.
But have you heard him...
"Take Hold Of The Flame?'
Jet City Woman
Queen of the Reich
many more goldies
This is a special one for me. My father was a huge Queensrÿche fan. I remember discovering this CD in his collection when I was much younger. He passed 9 years ago after a nearly decade bout with brain cancer. This song never fails to get me man.
the song is about lucid dreaming... being aware you're dreaming and consciously controlling the dream. i am not able to do it. when i realize i'm dreaming, i immediately wake up.
I often have lucid dreams, for about 5 seconds. Then I wake up, so frustrating. It just gets so slippery and I can't hold on.
Right there with ya.
When my best mate passed away this song was playing, he's been gone nearly 2 years
damn,this song is 34 yrs old,remember it coming out
The mood of the music you are trying to explain like pink Floyd, yes and other groups is ethereal, it sets a mood. you're welcome
I'm not crying! You're crying!🌊
Dual Guitars are staple for 80s rock bands rarely see them these days - today its just adding more and more strings :D although double/triple/quadruple guitar is also adding strings....
Nemo was such a great game. And hard! Memories. 😊
Queensryche is such a great band try their earlier songs "I don't believe in love" or "eyes of a stranger" if you really want hear his vocals at their best
Take Hold of The Flame live 1984 , next
I've had lucid dreams. Not many, though. Or at least not many I can remember, since I rarely remember any of my dreams.
Brahm's Lullaby played by the strings in the end.
Most people don’t catch that. I’ve only seen two reactors ever mention that. It’s a great little touch that adds a poignant exclamation point at the end of the song.
This was the song that introduced me to Queensryche. I actually bought the 7" single when it came out (yeah I am that old). While I do like their music, I never became a huge fan, but this song is still to this day on my list of favourite songs ever.
You can control your dreams, I've done it a few times. Some unpleasant and dangerous things were happening in the dreams. I recall myself saying in the dream that this is just a dream and somehow I was back to before the event happened and what followed was a totally different outcome. One dream I was shot and said oh no this is just a dream I'm not getting shot. The next thing I knew I was back before I got shot and the dream continued in a different path. Do I do that often, no it's rare; do I know how i did it...again no. I just know I have controlled my dreams several time when the outcome was something I did not like.
There was a really cool movie my kids watched all the time called "Little Nemo: Adventures in Slumberland". I was just thinking of that when you mentioned the video game. lol.
summary of Song, child had bad dream, child now fears his dreams, song tells child that your dreams are boundless, the realm of possibilities , and in time you will be able to control those bad dreams
From 1905 to 1927, Robert McCay's "Little Nemo in Slumberland" comic strip would run in newspapers. It is a truly delightful read if you can find it. In 1990, CAPCOM the NES released "Little Nemo: The Dream Master," adapting the old comic strip to a video game. The visual while I can't confirm it, it appears that Queensrÿche used the Little Nemo bed motif from the comic strip for the video.
Lovely reaction as usual.
It is absolutely possible to control your dreams. I’m not successful at it 100% of the time, but I NEVER have dreams about monsters or “bad guys” chasing me since I learned how to control my dreams.
There are techniques to do it and some instructions are in the background dialogue in this video.

Oh yes, please go down the "Operation Mindcrime" rabbit hole. Wore out several cassettes listening to that album back in the day lol. Love this band!
You should check out Operation Livecrime sometime, an amazing album and story.
I saw it live and it was amazing
For vocal contrast on Geoff Tate's voice (as well as the rest of the band), check out Take Hold of the Flame. Elite vocals. Great song.
Lucid dreaming is just that controlling your dreams. There are assorted techniques used to accomplish this. I find that visualizing what I want to dream about as I fall asleep can help guide the dream content. Also, if you awake from a dream, picture the direction that you want the dream to take and go right back to sleep. Whether you are a day, or a night person can influence the ability. Day people's dream cycles are at the beginning of their sleep, so the visualizations may have more impact, unfortunately day people have a harder time remembering their dreams. The reason they wake up feeling refreshed is they lack the grogginess that comes with dreaming. Night owls dream at the end of their sleep. Going back to sleep immediately upon awakening is a far easier trick for them to accomplish. Lucky me, I'm a night owl.
Those are all strategies I’ve been able to use too to direct my dreams. I’m not 100% successful at it, but I’ve completely eliminated nightmares where I’m chased or menaced by monsters or “bad guys”.
Sorry I forgot to add, I wish I was more successful and thinking about what I want to dream about before falling asleep eliciting those dreams. I have done it, but it’s super rare that it actually happens.
@@paulwalsh2344 I'm not so good at getting rid of the bad dreams as waking up and redirecting dreams by going back to sleep.
You asked where the audio tracks in the break came from. The main part was part of the song, but the “How are feeling today, better?” and the “Help me” are sampled from Hellbound: Hellraiser 2 😊
Queensryche is always great to listen to! You should react to Slaughter - Fly to the Angels - great vocals and song
So crazy that you mentioned Little Nemo! I used to play that game all the time for Nintendo. 😂 And this song reminds me so much of that too.
I never PLAYED Little Nemo, but we owned the MOVIE! Loved that movie. Very fitting to what you were talking about.
Lord Vigo the Carpathian has a beautiful voice
Hah, Little Nemo! I don’t think I’ve heard another human being reference either the movie or game in my entire life.
Little Nemo the what? Never heard of it but I have seen Bedknobs and Broomsticks. That’s what that image reminded me of.
Great song. Not typical of the band but one my favourites.
Bro Little Nemo was an insane game, and it makes so much sense
Take Hold of the Flame live at Tokyo!! One of Tate’s greatest vocal performances
Love if you reacted to Seether.
They’re an amazing band. They have a new album out. Judas Mind is an awesome song. Their old stuff is amazing to, especially their live album “one cold night”
Love your reactions
You can achieve dream control. Follow the songs instructions , do a bit of research , and you can learn .
Silver- Woods of Ypres
Greta Canadian doom metal band with hard hitting lyrics
Music has a flow to it, And when you stop for too long, You kill the flow.. Kill The Flow Kill The Music. This only Hurts the band.
Operation mindcrime has another great album
There was also a movie for little Nemo..
I'm a big Jennifer Connely fan and loved her in "The Labyrinth." I of course always recommend "It's a Beautiful Mind" where she won the Best Supporting Actress Oscar, but for scary October check out her starring role in Dario Argento's "Phenomena" (1985) aka "Creepers" released the year prior to "The Labyrinth." Warning "Creepers" is a heavily censored (butchered) version.
To be completely honest, I don't like Queensryche but I really love this song so much. When I would hear them playing on the radio I would change the station; unless their song Silent Lucidity, then I would change the volume higher. I am a sucker for songs that are melodic, lyrically creative and emotional, musically artistic, smooth and catchy singing vocals, and the songs being fairly lengthy.
Then how do you not like them? Most of their stuff (even the heavier stuff) is lyrically creative, melodic, emotional. You’ve got to draw from the well man.
❤❤Love the reaction. Can you react to :
Noah Gundersen - round here ( counting crows cover ) ❤❤
Their best, IMO, mellow song is I will remember. There is a video of it (Live UNPLUGGED) that you will love.
But Geoff's range and vocals are not as prominent in these as it is in songs like Queen of the Ryche and Take hold of the flame.. Both of which you can watch from a live show in Japan from 1984.
Operation Mindcrime is the BEST album I have ever listened to. What a fn story from beginning to end
You are so pretty and I love your hair!
My dad came home one day and asked me if I knew about this band. It was some time around 1985ish and I hadn't heard of them yet but my dad said he'd sat and had drinks with Geoff at a bar in Issaqauh Wa.
We know you love Labyrinth but have you seen Legend?
Oh Lucid Dreaming is a skill you can pick up. It's awesome, like the best VR game possible. There's a ton of tutorials online to learn it.
its funny i got this album when it came out i was 20 i think and all these years later people are reacting to silent lucitdity so its stood the test of time. and like everyone said before me geoff tate is ridiculously good plenty of other songs where he really shows it too.
"take hold of the flame", live in tokyo... please and thank us later
if you really want to hear what geoff tate can do vocally,check out this video- queensryche- take hold of the flame, live from tokyo 1984. you will be extremely impressed with his vocal range, wow!!!!!
you must react to the latest album -digital noise alliance( 2022),especially with the song Sicdeth,progmetal at its best,with new singer Todd la Torre👍
Sometimes you can overthink things, like songs. 🙂 I’ve heard reactors that the first thing that they do is stop after less than a minute into the song and say that the band is copying some other band or something. Many times they don’t know that the band they are listening to, came way before the band they claim that they ripped off. 😂
Amazing 🌹
Pink Floyd vibes
I am hungry for a snack. How about some rayasandwiches 🤪
Please react to Diana Ankudinova,, Quiet outpost "
Epic
Labyrinth? I’ve never heard you talk about the Labyrinth… 😉 haha
I was able to control a dream only once in my life, but never again. 😥
It just takes practice. First step is writing down or recording your dreams every night. It trains your brain to remember them for longer.
You compared the video to the NES Little Memo Game; did you know that the game was based off the movie "Little Nemo in Slumberland?
