Not only was Geoff brilliant in this video, I believe it was one of the encores!!! He'd sang for an hour an a half then did this performance. Unparalleled!!!
I appreciate the fact that you let the whole song play straight through without stopping it at the high points to comment. Geoff Tate is in a league of his own. You should listen to Operation Mind Crime.
Rage for Order blew my mind the first time I heard it in the 80s. It was SO different from anything around. Sampling, with Pink-Floyd-meets-metal meets-opera.
I'm an older guy.I've been to hundreds and hundreds of concerts.I saw Queensryche in the early 90's.The tightest band I ever saw.Geoff Tate the lead singer was spot on.
I beat u there , I’m an older guy as well, 56 now, but I first saw Queensryche at the Hammersmith odeon supporting Bon jovi, we didn’t give a shit about jovi, we hasd a Queensryche banner draped over the balcony cause we were front row up top, eventually Bon jovi sent up one of his cronies and told us to take the banner down, we told him to Go Fuck Himself😂the banner stayed, Geoff and the boys played a blinder in there Rage For Order costumes, those were the days 👍
@@brettkeepin808 and I beat you there......I saw this tour...The Warning...in Sacramento, CA. They totally blew Kiss away that night. I also saw the Rage Tour (the vampire tour). QR was just ahead of their time. Always changing.
From the Seattle area, Queensryche was my favorite band for many years. 1st time seeing them live was 1983 opening for DIO at the paramount theater. Still one of the best shows I have ever seen. Seen them play with Dream Theater again at the Paramount, it was the start of Dream Theater becoming my favorite band. Geoff has some new material that is AMAZING, singing for Sweet Oblivion. Highly recommend checking it out. Like a modern Queensryche! Cheers to us old rockers!!
Next to last song of the 2nd show they did that day. Geoff Tate is an epic singer. His voice is literally the 5th instrument in the band. not enough attention is given to guitarist Chris DeGarmo and how well he harmonizes with Tate.
Take hold of the flame is a great place to start with queensryche. Jeff Tate's voice, one of the greatest of all time imo .Great video , great reaction , thanks Georgia
I saw Queensryhe open for Metallica in 89 and had no idea who they were. I was so stoked to see Metallica after 100's of hours of listening to And Justice for All but was BLOWN away by Queensryche. Even got to meet them backstage and have been a fan since Feb 1989 at 18 years old. love your channel young lady, keep up the great work.
Not to mention, this song was the 2nd to last on that set, they had an encore track they tore through called "Queen of the Reich" at the end, but he straight up sang like this all concert long. Geoff Tate is in a league all on his own.
Little lady ❤️ I love the Zeppelin connection, I know I'm dating myself here but I was 17 when queensryche came into the music family of life and I thank you so so much for taking me back ❤️ From the states with much love ❤️🌎❤️🌎
Damn, Its funny... all of us pretty much "hone in" on Geoff Tate in this video for the most part because of his God like vocals, but when you stop and dissect the entire song, look and listen, the musicianship from top to bottom is Godamn AMAZING!!! Scott Rockinfeild is a drum machine / monster!? Hes almost singing his own song within his drum kit... Chris and Eddie... Jesus, the vocal Harmonies ON TOP of the Guitar / Bass Riffs, and that INSANE guitar lead with SO much emotion!!! ... my point is, its not just Geoff here that blows my mind, the entire band were beyond amazing... and remember, this is LIVE folks, ...LIVE. FKNG LIVE!!! How many bands actually sound even HALF this good LIVE??? Very, very, very few... I INDEED miss The RYCHE. ; )
you are really incredible. I watched you hear geoffs' voice for the first time and i love you very much. I saw them live, which is even more unreal. Love you darlin
This is the 18th review of this song that I have seen. I have seen reactions from vocal coaches and ordinary fans. But, every single person is shocked when Geoff Tate hits that first high note. It is even more fun to watch someone who has never heard of Queensryche (Pronounced Queens Rike) before. I can guess you may not have a lot of experience with Metal (Especially Prog Metal), but you seem to be open minded, which is important when you are doing reactions. What you have stumbled onto is one of the very best Progressive Metal bands. In fact, Queensryche along with a band called Fates Warning are credited with starting Prog Metal. You have also stumbled onto the very best metal singer of alltime. If you want to hear more check out anything between 1983 and 1996 by Queensryche.
Its take hold ! Take hold ! Lol but with the combination of this music and ur reaction NOW THAT'S INCREDIBLE!!! I seen them in the nightys , great show ! Nissan pavilion Washington DC u rock girl
Geoff Tate is a classically trained opera singer as is the rest of the band to some extent that's why they harmonize so well . Glad to see you enjoy this band. I'm a older metal head 53 years old black male. Back in the day it was not as common to see people like me at shows most people are cool and accepted me so I fit in . I've seen your jinjer reaction and thought you might like this band better. 😁 Is anybody listening is another great Queensrych song. There all pretty good though . Peace ✌️ from Alaska
Great reaction Georgia your much more confident in yourself these days which is nice to see. Geoff Tate is an amazing vocalist and their album Operation Mindcrime is IMO one of the best concept albums ever written after WASP's Crimson Idol.
Operation: Mindcrime is an amazing album from start to finish. MUST listen to it in order (preferably in one go) as it tells a coherent story. 35 years old and the album is just as relevant today as it was when it was released.
Your reaction was pretty much my reaction back in the day when they came out. Been a huge Queesnsryche fan ever since. Also, it's pronounced "QueensRyke"
Goeff Tate is incredible. Maybe the purest voice in history. The lady in Black is an insane song. It will take your soul on a complete journey. Take hold the Ryche!
Every reactor to this song does the same thing, because it can't be helped, the jaw drop at the first high note followed by WOW when the rest of the band kicks in. Well done pretty lady.
Best Album ever made. I always wanted to see them make a movie around Operatio Mindcrime... or a play on broadway... I would have been there on opening night.
Pure talent . Geoff Tate for seven glorious years , for peak value , he was the best vocalist in music , across the board . At his peak , he possessed a five octave range . He could hit E5 naturals , a very rare feat for a natural born baritone . And please remember , his E5 naturals are sung in full voice , not falsetto. Incredible. Another thing that is not mentioned , is how Queensryche compositions were written in such a way , to showcase Geoff Tate 's extraordinary vocal range . The jumps in pitch and octave range. Very reminiscent of operas composed by Mozart . One opera: The Magic Flute . An exceptional vocalist.
Hey Georgia! Since we're doing 80's metal, just a few recommendations, please!! 1) Nobody's Fool - Cinderella 2) Rock You Like a Hurricane - Scorpions 3) Cum on Feel the Noize - Quiet Riot 4) Still of the Night - Whitesnake 5) Pour Some Sugar on Me - Def Leppard Not all my personal favorites, but I think you will love them. All are classics. Please!! xx J ❤
If you want some Queensryche selections to listen to here are a few Silent Lucidity Another Rainy Night Anybody listening And for some live performances Last Night in Paris and Scarborough Fair are very good selections.
Some of the best vocalists are Metal frontmen. I'm an old man now but I got to see Metal unfold n fill up arenas around the world. It was fuckin epic. 🤘😎
What's really interesting about Queensryche is they were never a headliner until Empire was released 8 almost 9 years after this live recording in 1984. It's hard to believe after watching this video they were an opening act.
Couple of thoughts. 1. Queensryche - pronounced Queens--"ryke". 2. Like has already been mentioned, any of the songs off of the Operation Mindcrime album would definitely be worth checking out. 3. A recommendation or two or more from Operation Mindcrime... - "Revolution Calling" - th-cam.com/video/CNdOsL4Xe7Q/w-d-xo.html - "Eyes of a Stranger" - th-cam.com/video/A4duZjxusGM/w-d-xo.html - "I Don't Believe in Love" - th-cam.com/video/2c3g6tTYoxM/w-d-xo.html (I was introduced to Queensryche back in 1988...opening for Metallica. That was an awesome show.)
I was in San Diego for this tour. They opened for Kiss. 1984 along with ALL of the 80's ROCKED. The period for the REAL DEAL in Music would be 1967 - 1992. By the mid to late 70's there was SUCH diverse music going on. I was in my teens for all the 70's. In my 20's for ALL the 80's. I am 61 at this moment. I --- AM --- a Musician and I ROCK. I play Bass Guitar mainly, but play other instruments as well. Classically trained in music theory at age 13. Sorry but music SUCKS NOW.
Tate studied voice as a kid he had a aunt that was a Opera singer. He wanted to be a Opera singer too as a kid then he later wanted to pursue a football career he had a knee injury so he went back to singing again
You see dollface, back before midi on a grid rap trash there used to be this extinct species called real musicians and vocalists! ;-) The competition was fierce back in the day too! It was all much more than a game to those of us who dared to play it! :-) It's wonderful to see a young person like yourself enjoy and respect music from my generation! I have some other suggestions for you if you're interested!
Didn't know what to expect when I clicked on you & yr reaction, but Queensrÿche guided my click. Very glad I did. You're interesting & engaging, & watching your face break into little smiles of appreciation here & there as you watched was priceless. I first saw Queensrÿche in '86, touring their then-new album 'Rage for Order' (still my favourite album of theirs) & was blown away, especially by Geoff Tate's incredible vocals & the guitar & drums of Chris DeGarmo & Scott Rockenfield respectively. They followed it with what is one of the true great concept albums of all time, 'Operation: Mindcrime', in '88, a work that genuinely needs to be heard in its entirety by anyone who understands good music. If you want to listen to more, I suggest 'Gonna Get Close to You' or 'Walk in the Shadows' from 'Rage' or 'Revolution Calling', 'I Don't Believe in Love' or 'Eyes of a Stranger' from 'Mindcdrime' (have to say, tho, the tracks from 'Mindcrime' might leave questions unanswered as they form part of the story & are being taken out of context). I drifted away from them after their following album, 'Empire' in 1990 ('Silent Lucidity' & 'Jet City Woman' are absolutely outstanding tracks from this disc, MORE than worth a listen) but rekindled my interest in them with their 2019 release 'The Verdict', the third w/a rather good new vocalist Todd La Torre, & am now exploring their back-catalogue. In 2007, they released an album of covers by bands such as The Police, Peter Gabriel, Black Sabbath & Pink Floyd, called 'Take Cover'; their cover of Floyd's 'Welcome to the Machine' is one of the greatest covers, let alone of a Floyd song (all imo, of course) ever; If you know the original, PLEASE give it a listen, even if just for yr own pleasure. Anyways, enough rambling. I really enjoyed yr reaction, & look forward to more. You got a new sub, Blondie.
Yes....amazing tour. The Warning Tour. I saw them in Sacramento, CA back in '85. You should also check out anything live from the Rage for Order, Empire and Promised Land tours. I was lucky enough to see those live too!
Queens Rike. Say it as one word. Being a teen of the early 80s, I've seen Queensryche many times and they never failed to please. They were one of the few bands that actually sounded better live than on studio albums. I'm thinking Deep Purple, Pink Floyd, Rush, etc. Early Nightwish reminds me of Queensryche's stage production. You should check out End of an Era with Tarja Turunen. The last live album with their first vocalist.
Love the reaction to the first high E5 note! Probably the same that happened with me when I first heard them (in the 80s) and never stopped. Welcome to the QR world! (BTW, pronounced more like "Ryke" or the german word "Reich", I suppose.) Geoff Tate is the best there ever was. Many moons ago we went to see them on tour in the winter, then waited outside in the cold to see if we meet the band, and Michael (Wilton, guitar) peeked out invited us in where it was warm. Got to meet the whole band and even the singer who sang Mary's part in Operation:Mindcrime! Best album ever, highly recommended. It tells a story from beginning to end.
Pretty much anything off of Operation Mindcrime is a winner, plus others from their catalog, like Silent Lucidity, Jet City Woman, and Queen of the Reich.
The whole original band were untouchable! This link sent was the encore song, straight after this song. They'd been playing hard for quite a long time, and Geoff's voice always delivers. th-cam.com/video/YklSwADBOkg/w-d-xo.html
They had one of the best vocalists in rock at the time in Geoff Tate and an amazing drummer in Scott Rockenfield. I saw this incredible band perform live many decades ago!!
Pronounced: "Queens Rike". The back up singers were singing "Take Hold", can easily be mistaken as "hey hoe" lol. Seen them in concert 5 times from 1986 to 1991 before Geoff Tate left the band in 1992. Just about every song from Queensryche is that level of vocals. Every song in their catalog up through the album "Empire" is outstanding. You can't go wrong with any of these songs: Lady Wore Black, Queen of the Ryche, Walk in the Shadows, I Dream Infrared, The entire Operation: Mindcrime album, Best I Can, Empire, and I'm probably leaving out 10 to 15 other songs, but you get the picture.
What a band, first saw them supporting Dio way back in 83/84 and instantly loved them - Operation Mindcrime is their crowning moment but they have a great wealth of fantastic music 🤘
Operation Mindcrime is the best album ever made. Must listen to it from start to finish. I've seen Queensryche 6 times... one time was at the House of Blues in Chicago... with Lita Ford. Best convert ever, they played Operation Mindcrime from beginning to end. Geoff Tate's mother was an Opera Singer, and he has a 5 active voice.
One of the best bands of the '80's peaking in popularity in 1991. Saw them 5 times and never disappointed. Check out some Mindcrime songs but make sure you watch the "Livecrime" version of the song... try Suite Sister Mary. th-cam.com/video/8CZGion20E4/w-d-xo.html
Oh yeah one of the best bands of the 80's. MTV had a contest send in your basement tapes and of course Motley Crue beat them and queens right came in second and then I think Scandal was like third. Try the song the lady wore black. That was off their first EP there was only 4 songs on it. Then try something later called Silent Lucidity and see the difference
In the first 30 seconds or so, he covers two octaves. From D3 up tp E5. like it's nothing. Opera singers don't bounce around like that. It would scare the crap out of them. It's amazing singing and he does it with little effort or thought.. He's one of the great singers. Placido Domingo, couldn't nail this song as Tate does.
Hi Georgia, Love the new section opening you added in....so here we are - Queensryche [ rhymes with bike ] - Brilliant ! Loved this group since my 20's. You will have noticed by now the wee mention of "Operation Mindcrime" in the comments. Lol .... Much as I would love a reaction to tracks from it, I think should you get this at some time in the future that you enjoy the experience of the whole album. It's a brilliant story of brainwashing someone to kill - a priest. For once enjoy this one album for yourself....There are plenty of other albums & tracks you can react to by this amazing group.....eg; Empire / The Thin Line / Della Brown, just a few examples as there really are so many...Take care, Byee X Jim
Dude i literally just saw the amazon email 😂😭thank you so much dude!!! Another to add to my collection 😁 I'm gonna create a cute little place for everything too😁I appreciate it!!! X
Review TNT and any song from their album Tell No Tales!! Insane! And Geoff Tate is my idol! Great review!! Do Operation Mindcrime Album it will blow your mind!
Great critique of the song an singer . Geoff is surely a great vocalist. Loved you expression when he smashed the first high high E . Love your makeup , very sexy on a beautiful woman
Sad thing about these bands is unless you're a real fan you've probably never heard this. You might know Silent Lucidity but that's about all the radio ever plays. Not sure if that one song would make me go out and buy the CD.
No backing tracks or autotune here,just pure talent.
Certainly better than the dross they serve up as 'talent' on Britain's Got Talent.
lol
In my opinion, Geoff Tate is one of the most underrated singers in metal history. The guy has an outstanding voice.
Underrated? You’re hanging out with the wrong people then.
I was gonna say... He's never been underrated after the beginning of queen of the ryche kicked in. Now Chris DeGarmo was vastly underrated .
@@jamwerx truth right there!
In any other band in the world DeGarmo would be considered a top shelf vocalist!
John, Actually Jeff Tate is the best! Simple!
@@troyottosen8722 Let's see if I can disagree with you on that . . . nope. I can't. You win.
Chris DeGarmo, personal hero. Right up there with Lindsay Buckingham in the Underrated Musician category.
Absolutely 💯
His backup vocals are SO under noticed!
Now we're talking about underrated.
Not only was Geoff brilliant in this video, I believe it was one of the encores!!! He'd sang for an hour an a half then did this performance. Unparalleled!!!
I appreciate the fact that you let the whole song play straight through without stopping it at the high points to comment. Geoff Tate is in a league of his own. You should listen to Operation Mind Crime.
Yes. The only reviewer thus far I've watched who let the beauty of the lyrics, the music, and Geoff's voice run as God intended it.
And soooo many great Queensryche songs, my favorite is "I Dream in Infrared"
Rage for Order blew my mind the first time I heard it in the 80s. It was SO different from anything around. Sampling, with Pink-Floyd-meets-metal meets-opera.
I LOVE "Dream in Infrared!"
Shame geoff didn't sang it in his prime but i love recent version with his band
I'm an older guy.I've been to hundreds and hundreds of concerts.I saw Queensryche in the early 90's.The tightest band I ever saw.Geoff Tate the lead singer was spot on.
I beat u there , I’m an older guy as well, 56 now, but I first saw Queensryche at the Hammersmith odeon supporting Bon jovi, we didn’t give a shit about jovi, we hasd a Queensryche banner draped over the balcony cause we were front row up top, eventually Bon jovi sent up one of his cronies and told us to take the banner down, we told him to Go Fuck Himself😂the banner stayed, Geoff and the boys played a blinder in there Rage For Order costumes, those were the days 👍
Yeah, they're actually still pretty excellent live with Todd, which was a pleasant surprise to me.

@@FreeMTrider i first saw them in 83/84 ...Riot came on first then Queensryche then KISS at the Sam Houston Coliseum.
Next to last song of the 2nd show they did that day. Geoff Tate is an epic singer. His voice is literally the 5th instrument in the band. not enough attention is given to guitarist Chris DeGarmo and how well he harmonizes with Tate.
Take hold of the flame is a great place to start with queensryche. Jeff Tate's voice, one of the greatest of all time imo .Great video , great reaction , thanks Georgia
Thank you!
*Geoff Tate
His voice has not stood up well as he aged. Still sings 1000 times better than me though.
@@GilaMonster971Saw him just a few months ago and he still sounded great. The band not so much
So glad your journey crossed paths with Queensrÿche. Loved your reaction and keep the videos coming.
Thank you so much!!!!
In his prime Geoff Tate stood alone atop of rock/metal vocalist mountain!! He was the best. His vocals on queen of the ryche are phenomenal as well.
you will love Queensryche's "Silent Lucidity" and everything from "Operation Mindcrime" =)
One of the best concerts I've ever seen....Queensryche opening for Rush 2112 in its entirety. Amazing show!💯
@Spike130it was the test for echo tour ...my bad....still the best concert!
I saw Queensryhe open for Metallica in 89 and had no idea who they were. I was so stoked to see Metallica after 100's of hours of listening to And Justice for All but was BLOWN away by Queensryche.

Great reaction Georgia your much more confident in yourself these days which is nice to see. Geoff Tate is an amazing vocalist and their album Operation Mindcrime is IMO one of the best concept albums ever written after WASP's Crimson Idol.

Goeff Tate is incredible. Maybe the purest voice in history. The lady in Black is an insane song. It will take your soul on a complete journey. Take hold the Ryche!
Check out Queensryche unplugged to see the raw talent from the entire band. Simply astonishingly mesmerizing.
Every reactor to this song does the same thing, because it can't be helped, the jaw drop at the first high note followed by WOW when the rest of the band kicks in. Well done pretty lady.
Thank you, that's the way a reaction video should be done.
I really like the fact that you didn't stop every 10 seconds to comment .
I would recommend Suite Sister Mary by Queensryche, amazing song and a duet in there to boot.
Saw Queensryche with Kiss back around 1983/84....the were astounding
Never judge a book by its cover Metal is AWESOME
Back when singers didn’t need auto tune. Just true vocal skills and power. Seattle’s own.
Nice reaction!
Love seeing the younger generation getting into great music!
Thank you!
Geoff Tate was 25 in 1984 and now he's 63 STILL touring and recording under his name. Georgia you remind me of Adele.
Good choice, they have a deep catalog to explore (Operation Mindcrime is brilliant track 1 to track 15.)
Best hard rock / metal concept album ever!
Best Album ever made. I always wanted to see them make a movie around Operatio Mindcrime... or a play on broadway... I would have been there on opening night.
Operation Mindcrime album, best listened to from beginning to end but you do as you like👍☺
,,,make up was on point also.
Pure talent . Geoff Tate for seven glorious years , for peak value , he was the best vocalist in music , across the board . At his peak , he possessed a five octave range . He could hit E5 naturals , a very rare feat for a natural born baritone . And please remember , his E5 naturals are sung in full voice , not falsetto. Incredible.

Very reminiscent of operas composed by Mozart . One opera: The Magic Flute .
An exceptional vocalist.
Fell Backmin love with a Ballad of theirs..Silent Lucidity...About Dreams...Give that A listen if you Havent Already...
I loved how your jaw dropped when he hit that first high note.
Reminds me of my reaction the first time I heard it back in 84.
That Tate is a natural baritone just speaks volumes of the time, training and effort he put in to get there.
Hey Georgia! Since we're doing 80's metal, just a few recommendations, please!!
1) Nobody's Fool - Cinderella
2) Rock You Like a Hurricane - Scorpions
3) Cum on Feel the Noize - Quiet Riot
4) Still of the Night - Whitesnake
5) Pour Some Sugar on Me - Def Leppard
Not all my personal favorites, but I think you will love them. All are classics.
Please!! xx J ❤
one of the greatest bands of the 1980’s and still today rocking!!!!
Great reaction. I believe their most popular song is Silent Lucidity.
Thank you!
These guys had it all great writing singer ,drummer, guitar,even the bassist thumped epic music and I'm still listening from 1983 .
If you want some Queensryche selections to listen to here are a few
Silent Lucidity
Another Rainy Night
Anybody listening
And for some live performances
Last Night in Paris and Scarborough Fair are very good selections.
Some of the best vocalists are Metal frontmen. I'm an old man now but I got to see Metal unfold n fill up arenas around the world. It was fuckin epic. 🤘😎
Saw them live back at their height. Awesome concert, they did all of Operation Mindcrime.
What's really interesting about Queensryche is they were never a headliner until Empire was released 8 almost 9 years after this live recording in 1984. It's hard to believe after watching this video they were an opening act.
Now you understand why older people laugh and belittle you when you say you are going to watch The Voice
This song is a popular 'reaction' song from QR. I remember watching this on VCR tape when it came out around '84.
Couple of thoughts.
1. Queensryche - pronounced Queens--"ryke".
2. Like has already been mentioned, any of the songs off of the Operation Mindcrime album would definitely be worth checking out.
3. A recommendation or two or more from Operation Mindcrime...

Classically trained in music theory at age 13.
Sorry but music SUCKS NOW.
Tate studied voice as a kid he had a aunt that was a Opera singer. He wanted to be a Opera singer too as a kid then he later wanted to pursue a football career he had a knee injury so he went back to singing again
The lead guitar part in this live performance reminds of the lead guitar part in their song “Jet City Woman”
"Did he sound that good live?" Me: Did God part the Red Sea?
Actually, it was Moses, but I feel ya!!

Didn't know what to expect when I clicked on you & yr reaction, but Queensrÿche guided my click. Very glad I did. You're interesting & engaging, & watching your face break into little smiles of appreciation here & there as you watched was priceless. I first saw Queensrÿche in '86, touring their then-new album 'Rage for Order' (still my favourite album of theirs) & was blown away, especially by Geoff Tate's incredible vocals & the guitar & drums of Chris DeGarmo & Scott Rockenfield respectively. They followed it with what is one of the true great concept albums of all time, 'Operation: Mindcrime', in '88, a work that genuinely needs to be heard in its entirety by anyone who understands good music. If you want to listen to more, I suggest 'Gonna Get Close to You' or 'Walk in the Shadows' from 'Rage' or 'Revolution Calling', 'I Don't Believe in Love' or 'Eyes of a Stranger' from 'Mindcdrime' (have to say, tho, the tracks from 'Mindcrime' might leave questions unanswered as they form part of the story & are being taken out of context). I drifted away from them after their following album, 'Empire' in 1990 ('Silent Lucidity' & 'Jet City Woman' are absolutely outstanding tracks from this disc, MORE than worth a listen) but rekindled my interest in them with their 2019 release 'The Verdict', the third w/a rather good new vocalist Todd La Torre, & am now exploring their back-catalogue. In 2007, they released an album of covers by bands such as The Police, Peter Gabriel, Black Sabbath & Pink Floyd, called 'Take Cover'; their cover of Floyd's 'Welcome to the Machine' is one of the greatest covers, let alone of a Floyd song (all imo, of course) ever; If you know the original, PLEASE give it a listen, even if just for yr own pleasure.
Anyways, enough rambling. I really enjoyed yr reaction, & look forward to more. You got a new sub, Blondie.
Yes....amazing tour. The Warning Tour. I saw them in Sacramento, CA back in '85. You should also check out anything live from the Rage for Order, Empire and Promised Land tours. I was lucky enough to see those live too!
Queens Rike. Say it as one word. Being a teen of the early 80s, I've seen Queensryche many times and they never failed to please. They were one of the few bands that actually sounded better live than on studio albums. I'm thinking Deep Purple, Pink Floyd, Rush, etc. Early Nightwish reminds me of Queensryche's stage production. You should check out End of an Era with Tarja Turunen. The last live album with their first vocalist.
Can not go wrong with The Warning album and Operation: Mindcrime part 1 album from early Queensryche. Total masterpieces.
real live music and musicianship, a thing nowadays musicians lack big time, computers took over almost completely
Love the reaction to the first high E5 note!
Probably the same that happened with me when I first heard them (in the 80s) and never stopped. Welcome to the QR world!
(BTW, pronounced more like "Ryke" or the german word "Reich", I suppose.) Geoff Tate is the best there ever was.
Many moons ago we went to see them on tour in the winter, then waited outside in the cold to see if we meet the band, and Michael (Wilton, guitar) peeked out invited us in where it was warm. Got to meet the whole band and even the singer who sang Mary's part in Operation:Mindcrime! Best album ever, highly recommended. It tells a story from beginning to end.
Pretty much anything off of Operation Mindcrime is a winner, plus others from their catalog, like Silent Lucidity, Jet City Woman, and Queen of the Reich.
I saw them on this tour...jaw dropping
Lovin' that Jordie accent!
The whole original band were untouchable!
This link sent was the encore song, straight after this song. They'd been playing hard for quite a long time, and Geoff's voice always delivers. th-cam.com/video/YklSwADBOkg/w-d-xo.html
They had one of the best vocalists in rock at the time in Geoff Tate and an amazing drummer in Scott Rockenfield. I saw this incredible band perform live many decades ago!!
Pronounced: "Queens Rike". The back up singers were singing "Take Hold", can easily be mistaken as "hey hoe" lol. Seen them in concert 5 times from 1986 to 1991 before Geoff Tate left the band in 1992. Just about every song from Queensryche is that level of vocals. Every song in their catalog up through the album "Empire" is outstanding. You can't go wrong with any of these songs: Lady Wore Black, Queen of the Ryche, Walk in the Shadows, I Dream Infrared, The entire Operation: Mindcrime album, Best I Can, Empire, and I'm probably leaving out 10 to 15 other songs, but you get the picture.
You want to see his vocal range and see why Geoff Tate is one of the best check out Queen of the Reich
Been a fan since 83 I saw this tour back in 85 I was 18 check out screaming in digital from rage for order 1986 u won't be sorry 😉
What a band, first saw them supporting Dio way back in 83/84 and instantly loved them - Operation Mindcrime is their crowning moment but they have a great wealth of fantastic music 🤘
Operation Mindcrime is the best album ever made. Must listen to it from start to finish. I've seen Queensryche 6 times... one time was at the House of Blues in Chicago... with Lita Ford. Best convert ever, they played Operation Mindcrime from beginning to end. Geoff Tate's mother was an Opera Singer, and he has a 5 active voice.
the vocal range that Geoff Tate of queenscyche has is incredible
You are so right there are so awesome
TAKE HOLD!
U Rocked This One! Peace!
One of the best bands of the '80's peaking in popularity in 1991. Saw them 5 times and never disappointed. Check out some Mindcrime songs but make sure you watch the "Livecrime" version of the song... try Suite Sister Mary. th-cam.com/video/8CZGion20E4/w-d-xo.html
80s metal 🤘🤘 try METAL CHURCH songs METHOD TO YOUR MADNESS, BURIAL AT SEA, LINE OF DEATH and WESTERN ALLIANCE
I saw Metal Church in concert a couple years ago with Suicidal Tendencies and Amon Amarth. The singer still sounds great.
@@GilaMonster971 very cool bro but DAVID WAYNE was far better in my opinion
Adam Pulido I didn’t really like either much, Metal Church was never a favorite of mine. But for what they did/do they both sang well.
Love it!
Oh yeah one of the best bands of the 80's. MTV had a contest send in your basement tapes and of course Motley Crue beat them and queens right came in second and then I think Scandal was like third. Try the song the lady wore black. That was off their first EP there was only 4 songs on it. Then try something later called Silent Lucidity and see the difference
Omg your simply beautiful..
Love your make-up
Thanks dude!!! X
Take Hold! 🤘🔥✌️
The whole Empire album is good. .......you will love Silent Lucidity.,among others
great reaction to an amazing song, tnx
How are you not "reacting" to the most epic high notes in live rock history?????
If you loved this one, please try "Della Brown" live unplugged. Geoff's voice is steller!
In the first 30 seconds or so, he covers two octaves. From D3 up tp E5. like it's nothing. Opera singers don't bounce around like that. It would scare the crap out of them. It's amazing singing and he does it with little effort or thought.. He's one of the great singers. Placido Domingo, couldn't nail this song as Tate does.
Hi Georgia, Love the new section opening you added in....so here we are - Queensryche [ rhymes with bike ] - Brilliant ! Loved this group since my 20's. You will have noticed by now the wee mention of "Operation Mindcrime" in the comments. Lol .... Much as I would love a reaction to tracks from it, I think should you get this at some time in the future that you enjoy the experience of the whole album. It's a brilliant story of brainwashing someone to kill - a priest. For once enjoy this one album for yourself....There are plenty of other albums & tracks you can react to by this amazing group.....eg; Empire / The Thin Line / Della Brown, just a few examples as there really are so many...Take care, Byee X Jim
Yeah sure!! Advice taken dude 😁👍thank you take care!!
@@InsaneBlondie ps; Don't buy the album. X Jim
Dude i literally just saw the amazon email 😂😭thank you so much dude!!! Another to add to my collection 😁 I'm gonna create a cute little place for everything too😁I appreciate it!!! X
@@InsaneBlondie XxX
you need to hear Roads to Madness live by Queensryche
Review TNT and any song from their album Tell No Tales!! Insane! And Geoff Tate is my idol! Great review!! Do Operation Mindcrime Album it will blow your mind!
Great critique of the song an singer . Geoff is surely a great vocalist. Loved you expression when he smashed the first high high E . Love your makeup ,
very sexy on a beautiful woman
Thank u for the reply beautiful.
Great pick! Great reaction!✌💛✌
Thank you so much!
@@InsaneBlondie ❤
My 1st was this show in Chicago
Rage for order entire album
Operation Mindcrime entire album
Empire entire album
Sad thing about these bands is unless you're a real fan you've probably never heard this. You might know Silent Lucidity but that's about all the radio ever plays. Not sure if that one song would make me go out and buy the CD.
Listen to Silent Lucidity!
BTW... you obviously have no idea of that Cats Range! One of the most under rated Rock singers ever!
