back in the day with Empire and Operation Mindcrime I loved there songs. still do but with all the shit going around the world it puts his lyrics in a different perspective
It’s still by far my favorite Queensryche song. Also seems like foreshadowing of Chris DeGarmo’s mindset that would lead to him leaving the band. Sadly I don’t believe anything about their music was the same after he left.
@@MAGNUM2F Yupp! You're right a brilliant magical band , but they all need to be present and accounted for in order for the magic to work . . . . . I think they fed off of one another and inspired one another. It is a shame ! I can only imagine the stuff we could have from them today Post Tate Queensryche means nothing to me. . . .even though they're all great. I love Wilton and Jackson I love Scott too and when you replace the drummer, this drummer you got some damn huge shoes to fill in the feels department. Scott Motha Fuckin Rockenfield is so Peartesque only in heavy metal form is my only way to describe him and the way his drums talk
If you like metal/ballad like this a few other good bands/songs(in my opinion ) Manowar: master of the wind Iron maiden: infinite dreams Bruce Dickinson/ Ian Anderson: Jerusalem Rammstein: stein um stein And if you like instrumental music I highly highly recommend Jason Becker, he a remarkable individual as well as remarkable musician.
Queensryche has a lot of prophetic songs. Listen to "The Warning" and the "Operation Mindcrime" albums. Lots of seeing the writing on the wall concerning future events there. "N M 156" is a good one on "The Warning".
This song makes me cry cause back when it came out i was just 10 years old and my dad used to have a pare of drumsticks and he used to play to this song on the floor every note perfectly and he got me into these guys and it was the best thing i ever heard for music and here itis 11/30/19 and thinking of him doing it on the carpet note by note just like scott rockenfield my father passed away. In 2005 from alcoholism r.i.p. dad may u hear this song where ever u are Amen
We will all be surprised we're together again someday. We will be like How cool is this can u believe we made it ? My mother got me into all of this music in the eighties and early nineties. She was killed my sophomore year in high school in a tragic car accident 12/21/96. I know we're only apart in body for now. Sorry about your dad. Have some peace knowing we'll all see each other again someday and be there together forever Amen
My dad passed away from alcoholism as well he was the best dad I could ever ask for and an amazing human being.... I relate to you because me and my dad he would do the same with me and my twin brother identical. We would get the drums guitar and just play man. I miss him everyday passed away 10/09-2019 suicide. I try to be the man he was every day. He brought us up on music like this. It makes life so much easier. Your dad is up there watching over you brother. We may all reunite in heaven again one day..... until then brother god bless you and keep living and loving baby
First of all, Geoff Tate and Chris DeGarmo are brilliant!!! Tate's voice is magical, so much passion and heart. Sometimes I feel like they wrote the soundtrack to my life...... I can feel every note, amazing, still, after all these years. .
They were telling us what to do and what to prepare for. The time has come. Take hold of the flame cuz we are changing. As we speak! Love and Light to you!
Queensryche's playing was superb. This song in particular is just amazing. Outstanding vocals, great double guitars, great bass work, and excellent drumming. Top notch for sure.
You can never take away the music and the magic that the original band had!!! Incredibly gifted and professional musicians!!! Their great songs will play on forever!!! I hope and pray that the guys will find peace together and within themselves!!!
Aj Torres The True test is live and from the first time I saw them in 1993 and every time since, including some very small venues when they did the Mindcrime tour, just incredible! True talents!
David Marah I don't agree with you on that. They are both great. However QR is not the same today as they was back then. Today they suck. However, there is a 3rd band that is great, they are from Norway and called Pagans Mind.
Yes Pagans Mind has been around for quite some time too. I like them too. What I was saying before was not that queensryche wasn't good. I was simply saying as far as Progressive Metal, which I really wouldn't classify queensryche as progressive, to check Dream Theater out. Also Fates Warning. Symphony X, etc
Listening to this band for the first time.. I'm ashamed that I let my pre judgements..prevent me from giving this band a chance. Now I see there are beautiful souls within this band...and some of the songs Im hearing reflect the emotional pain I myself have tried to hide for so long. Queensryche.. I hope you find peace... there is much beauty in your music. 💕🌹💕
They never got their due I feel like. Crazy good band. The composition in their songs was ridiculous. Helps when your singer can cover the vocal scale! Every member was talented.
I am absolutely hooked on this song, I can't stop listening to it. This has to be one of the most beautiful vocal parts recorded. The beginning is so haunting and thought provoking!
What a band, Geoff Tates vocals were unparalleled during this time in the early 90's, it takes me back.. and here i sit, drinking a fine wine, at almost 45, reminiscing of my youth and where the time has gone, cherish it while you can kids and appreciate what you'll one day look back on as the best days of your life
3:53 "Feel the breeze? Time's so near you can almost taste the freedom. There's a warm wind from the south... Hoist the sail and we'll be gone, by morning this will all seem like a dream...."
It was predictive programing. Corporate Cabal plans decades in advance. Just reflect on all the garbage to come out of Hollywood, ever. It's all revealing. It's all encompassing.
The last concert with my wife before the STORM, she is home and LOVE is BEAUTIFUL and this song fits the last four months. Geoff Tate thank you for a beautiful song.
Queensryche was an amazing band! The powerful lyrics in song after song were simply unmatched. Geoff Tate has a voice that helps you get lost in the lyrics. Thank you Queensryche!!!
I saw these guys open for Metallica when I was still in high school... Peoria Civic Center Illinois.. age 48 now but I still remember how they blew the fuckin doors off of Metallica's performance. . Fan 4 life.
I agree. It will become a beautiful antiquity in time and music. There's nothing like it and I don't think chemistry, style and timing will ever connect like this again. It's pure magic.
Juda Martinez Actually I completely agree!! I sat here reading your reply and spent the last 15 minutes trying to think who could possibly have a better voice than Geoff Tate... I came up with nothing!!
+Revolutionary Against Orwellian America Yeah.... He has one of the most amazing voices period, but there are some other singers in different genres with amazing voices.. Celine Dion, Mariah Carey, Don Dokken, and many other names, too many to mention.. But Geoff Tate is simply an amazing vocalist...
It's amazing how most of these songs I play are being played back to me. You guys have great taste and Thank you for sharing your great selection of music as well.
They were ahead of their time, this message is SO powerful right now, and speaks to my past 6 years of leaving the church after devoting too much for too long.
My God, where do I begin? Was a senior in high school when this album came out. Operation Mindcrime was one of my favorite albums and this came out. Was disappointed at first. Fell asleep listening to this and it unlocked all kinds of doors in my mind. Beautifully written music and lyrics. Still standing the test of time. Thank you Geoff and company!🤘
Omg. Luv this band! In my 20s thru the 80s. What a time of music genius. These guys. Underrated. Magic lyrics. Music takes you to another level. Saw Geoff at Beachland Ballrm March4. I was front row center. What a delight for my soul.
OMG... How true are these words to this song.... So deep and full of truth... The meaning of these lyrics just fulfill the profecy of each day of a life for us as humans... Smile behind a mask.... Bone chilling.
Queensryche the best progressive metal band of all time. When I heard them for the first time I was 13 or 14. How often did I come home from parties at night in the following years to listen to these CDs (Warning, RageForOrder, OperationMindcrime, Empire) before going to sleep. The dream lives forever. A reunion with Geoff Tate and Chris DeGarmo in addition to today's line-up. SilentLucidity or TakeHoldOfTheFlame are still the highlights at today's concerts.
I remember going to see Queensrÿche the first time with my frind that was a rock radio station program director in O.C. She got the package with a few demo "cassette tapes" and free tickets for a show at a small local venue. She called me at my job with JBL/HK and played the demo "cassette tape" over the phone for me to see if we wanted to go see them or not. Thank God we decided to use those tickets to go see this "different sounding" band. During the drive we mostly discussed how to pronounce the band's name and what it meant, if anything. We actually thought they were British! LOL Needless to say the show was fantastic! Geoff Tate's voice and his range was unbelievable. The band was great and very professional. They put on a great performance. On Monday my friend was pushing hard to play their demo on a late night local band show for unsigned bands of a wide variety. I don't remember if they played that tape or not. I was out of her stations range to hear the station at all and it was a long time ago. I remember seeing them again a few years later. I remember both of us saying that Queensrÿche sounded better live than on their studio record. I was so fortunate to have been young and in the music industry during the 80s and 90s. I no longer see too many poking fun at the 80s music. Although I do see some about fashion and the hair, the BIG hair!
Empire is an album that will always have a special place in me. Amazing songs, amazing lyrics and amazing melodies! This is an amazing piece of music that I hope will live on for a very long time.
Loved them at bikeweek in leesburg. My father 65 loved the too. When he passed the funeral home asked if we had music we wanted to hear. With not even a thought i handed them RAGE FOR ORDER. 20+ sheriffs ( he was one), army honor guard, family, friends and queensryche in the back round. ONE GREAT SEND OFF. Peace dad and ROCK ON.
!I love Queensryche, I put the name of the ex-vocalist on my youngest son, Geoff, Geoff Tate has one of the most beautiful voices! Chris De Garmo makes wonderful songs.

Agreed!!!!!!!!
@@donttreadonme2 Agreed!
Yep.
Geoff Tate...what an amazing voice!
Queensryche was criminally underrated! They had such great songs
Who still jamming this in 2023/24? Some music is just forever good 👍
Great tune
back in the day with Empire and Operation Mindcrime I loved there songs.
still do
but with all the shit going around the world it puts his lyrics in a different perspective
@@zed8155 yea Geoff has been awake since before awake was cool
Mosey Ballad Dude I’m there!
I love how he sings this jam.
Still sounds good in June 2024! Classics never get old. Just better!!
47yo and I can still Feel that time in my life.. the Smell the Vision..the Sounds..this one gotta last a long time..Epic
this song is so damn good. and its really relatable right now with current events. the passion that the singer has when singing is unmatched!
Look Kids... No curse words and no sexual overtones. Just plain good writing
And? 😂 words have power. Cussing Isn't bad.
How could anyone ever downvote this?
2020, anybody listening? ❤️🤘🏼
Yes
i heard you,..
listening here.... in Mexico, this is april 20 2020... 1:13 am .... "I've seen the news, and there is not much I can do..."
@@RingOfRae Rae ... Don't worry... don't worry; there's not much you can do about it bud.
@@davidschadeberg3786 not worried... just find it interesting how many things are like dots being connected right now...
Decades beyond. Never fully realized the epicness of this one song... until now.
Awakening to true consciousness
these dudes never did "throw-away" lyrics
It’s still by far my favorite Queensryche song. Also seems like foreshadowing of Chris DeGarmo’s mindset that would lead to him leaving the band. Sadly I don’t believe anything about their music was the same after he left.
@@MAGNUM2F Yupp! You're right a brilliant magical band , but they all need to be present and accounted for in order for the magic to work . . . . .
I think they fed off of one another and inspired one another.
It is a shame !
I can only imagine the stuff we could have from them today
Post Tate Queensryche means nothing to me. . . .even though they're all great.
I love Wilton and Jackson
I love Scott too and when you replace the drummer, this drummer you got some damn huge shoes to fill in the feels department.
Scott Motha Fuckin Rockenfield is so Peartesque only in heavy metal form is my only way to describe him and the way his drums talk
Me too I. My awakening 🕯️
I'm 22 years old just finding out about this music and I got to say I love this. Hope to keep finding such amazing music like this
Listen to Promise Land Album by them. A
Masterpiece in its own right.
If you like metal/ballad like this a few other good bands/songs(in my opinion )
Manowar: master of the wind
Iron maiden: infinite dreams
Bruce Dickinson/ Ian Anderson: Jerusalem
Rammstein: stein um stein
And if you like instrumental music I highly highly recommend Jason Becker, he a remarkable individual as well as remarkable musician.
Hey I'm 66 and I'm still jamming to the song.
There's plenty more amazing music like this out there. Keep searching and enjoy!
Hey, check out Dream Theater, any Van Halen,Iron Maiden
If your heart is metal back then, its still metal music forever.
Hell yeah....🤘🤘🤘🖤🖤🖤
I'm 61 and I've been a metalhead since my best friend's brother gave me a Black Sabbath album back in the 70's. It never leaves you.
This is not metal but I get your drift
Great music never gets old.
well said
This song is freakin prophetic...holy crud... we're living this song NOW!! 😰😱
Yep
What I thought when I came across it last week.
Song of the awake.
Maybe, the song is not prophetic, your perception and mind has matured, so the meaning of the lyrics have more relevancy?
Yes
Queensryche has a lot of prophetic songs. Listen to "The Warning" and the "Operation Mindcrime" albums. Lots of seeing the writing on the wall concerning future events there. "N M 156" is a good one on "The Warning".
This song makes me cry cause back when it came out i was just 10 years old and my dad used to have a pare of drumsticks and he used to play to this song on the floor every note perfectly and he got me into these guys and it was the best thing i ever heard for music and here itis 11/30/19 and thinking of him doing it on the carpet note by note just like scott rockenfield my father passed away. In 2005 from alcoholism r.i.p. dad may u hear this song where ever u are Amen
Feel for you hope you find some healing when you listen to this music god bless

So prophetic for the current times. Literally gives me goosebumps.
Foreal bro
Masterpiece... After more than 30 years
Great fuckin artist and the words are where we're were at now
I listen to Queensryche everyday. Music like this is timeless
This shit NEVER gets old!!!
Me too. I wake up and go to bed with Queensryche
Yes , me too hostie !
It's good for you're soul☺
My favorite band ever. All of the lyrics relate to our lives and the world as we know it.
First of all, Geoff Tate and Chris DeGarmo are brilliant!!! Tate's voice is magical, so much passion and heart. Sometimes I feel like they wrote the soundtrack to my life...... I can feel every note, amazing, still, after all these years. .
Amen brother
I feel the same.
I also feel the same. Music has defiantly taken a major dive since that era.
They were telling us what to do and what to prepare for. The time has come. Take hold of the flame cuz we are changing. As we speak! Love and Light to you!
Oh my gosh! You just summed it up so perfectly! They are my favorite rock band. Probably more pertinent than ever too.
Most underrated rock bands of all time.
I know right?
A Ravenclaw Called Tyler how do you even know about queenryche?
I dont
I only know Set Ot Off and Panic At The Disco
+JackaBoy Vlogs Actually, these dudes are progressive metal ; the first and sickest progressive metal band.
I knew this Band was ahead of there time!! Back when this song came out!! it timeless!! Time just go's by!!! Wow,!!! Welcome 2021!!!
This song is a song that will always stand the test of time
This song resonates with what's going on in this broken world we live in !
Queensryche's playing was superb. This song in particular is just amazing. Outstanding vocals, great double guitars, great bass work, and excellent drumming. Top notch for sure.
I found this cd when i was 14 from my dads room. Never stopped loving them. Some of the best music ever. Im 38 now 😉
This is my favorite queensryche song! Performed 30 years ago the message in this song is so relevant today! "Is there anyone listening"......
This song is more relevant today, than ever before. Almost like they wrote it today, then went back in time and released it.
You can never take away the music and the magic that the original band had!!! Incredibly gifted and professional musicians!!! Their great songs will play on forever!!! I hope and pray that the guys will find peace together and within themselves!!!
I saw Queensryche live in 1985, they opened for KISS. I have been a fan since.
saw these guys open for acdc at cal expo sacramento ca. it was around 83 84 they only had the ep out. one of the best shows ive ever seen
Geoff Tate and Chris DeGarmo had the perfect chemistry it was magical...lyrical and musically
Aj Torres The True test is live and from the first time I saw them in 1993 and every time since, including some very small venues when they did the Mindcrime tour, just incredible! True talents!
Dream Theater blows Queensryche away if you wanna talk about prog...
agreed!

I don't agree with you on that.

The only band that could record the sound-track to the Bible... Chew-on that for a while...
Welcome to the party... you may have arrived a little late, but you got here... rock-on...
There was once, in my life, nothing better than the chance too see these guys LIVE! They were musical magick! 💜

One of the best songs, from another era.

Awesome to rediscover this great track. The words are more meaningful than ever!!!
Been listening to this since my 20s it kinda helped open my eyes and today is more prophetic than ever!!!
This is more than a song it is a work of art
Listening to The QR always! Never get tired of Tates vocals ✌🥰💯❤
I am absolutely hooked on this song, I can't stop listening to it. This has to be one of the most beautiful vocal parts recorded. The beginning is so haunting and thought provoking!
Relevant and pertinent TODAY..2022 + and 'prophetic'..all of the 1st - 5 releases.
This song is so true still even in todays world. Read between the lines. Criticise the words they're selling. Anybody listing.
Anybody smiles without a mask?
IAm listening
Still listening to this in 2023!! Especially now - this song is timeless
Pushing almost 1000watts with this one. I hope my neighbors are listening. I don't think they have a choice.

Sometimes I hear that song in my mind.
Then find it in my phone pug into my truck and turn it to 11.
Agree. Amazing lyrics. Takes me on a trip anytime I listen to this track. It's just that powerful. Man, I miss these guys.
Oh, how I hope so!! We need that freedom, so very much!!
QUEENSRYCHE HAS ALWAYS ROCKED...I LISTEN TO THEM EVERY DAY... MY FAVORITE IS SILENT LUCIDITY...BUT EVERYTHING IS AWESOME 👌
I saw queensryche around 1990 and he was the best live singer ive ever heard!!!
Same, I saw them in Nottingham England on the Empire tour, still to this day the best show I have ever been to, just amazing
It’s rare to find vocals words and the music to back up what they are playing, phenomenal!
Lockdown April 2020... Theme Song for the War that’s being raged against us by our Controllers.. “Is There Anybody Listening..??
Sam Harper I'm listening and there's alot of others to.
Yes! I just now played that
I had to come back to find the lyrics very relevant. I was backstage with these guys in the 80's in Hollywood. I was a tag-along groupie
Yes I listening and believe every word true reality music. Ryche On

So relevant to today. Love this. In my teens listening and now current. God Is good
Mom played these kinds of music in the car when I was 3-4 years old. I’m 18 now and I’m finally finding all of these songs again to listen to.
"Is there anyone who smiles without a mask"... they meant that figuratively, but in 2020 it's literal.
Good comment yea buddy!
srsly got chills listening again
It was predictive programing. Corporate Cabal plans decades in advance. Just reflect on all the garbage to come out of Hollywood, ever. It's all revealing. It's all encompassing.

This is the greatest music ever
I am a young lad and I still listen to this class group my dad bought me up with all this music kiss and Judas priest etc
There will never be music like this ever again....

!I love Queensryche, I put the name of the ex-vocalist on my youngest son, Geoff, Geoff Tate has one of the most beautiful voices! Chris De Garmo makes wonderful songs.
4/22 Still loving this song. Soothes all that hides inside of me. One of my Faves easily ! Takes me to a better time
This song just smack's you in the face lyrics are from the heart
Still part of my playlist.
Extremely underrated indeed! Great song.
Yes I'm listening 😁 I was all them years ago when it first came out too and it still does it for me 👌👍 ingrained in my memory forever
My first concert, queensryche with Ozzy Osbourne 1986 in greensboro nc. Oh my, what a night . a living MTV dream
Beautiful song, fantastic band. One of my last concerts, and who knew I should have listened closer to the words😥
No, no-one is listening, they are all sheep, following the crowd and doing what their told.
Amazing song... Awesome vocals...one of my all time favorite bands!
