      So incredible! I saw them at a 16 year old back in the 80's opening for KISS at the Spectrum in Pennsylvania and was entirely enthralled thereafter. They were known as the "thinking man's metal." Keep on rocking (check out Kamelot, Circus Maximus, and TNT if you are so inclined.) :)

      I personally think that they gave Seattle a bad name. Jimi Hendrix was good, heart was good, and all of the Seattle bands all the early 90s, better known as grunge, or great! I thought Queensreich were boring! I did like the "Operstion Mindcrime" album. It was really good, but adide from that...too Heavy Metal starting out, and too boring from "Empire" on up.

      As one of the biggest Queensryche fans over the years, I couldn't agree more! I got here over the course of connecting dots on many recent artists and came across a cover of QotR which brought me to this video. I just so happened to expand the only comment that caught my eye that was 1 year old only to find out Mike posted 4 hours ago about Scott leaving. How does this happen?! Chris, Scott, original Queensryche told an amazing story over the years and I'm honored to have experienced the rise and fall in my lifetime!

    Queensrÿche Queen Of The Reich Lyrics
    In the dead of night
    She'll come and take you away
    Searing beams of light and thunder
    Over blackened plains
    She will find her way
    Flying high through the night
    She will hide your fate
    As she takes your soul from under
    And the blinding light of the castle fades
    There is no escape
    It's the ending of your precious life
    Your soul slipped away
    It belongs to the Queen of the Reich
    The Queen of the Reich
    Yeah she's coming for you
    You're fading away
    Your life cast astray
    A victim the beast shall obtain
    The light will not shine
    For you'll die tonight at her shrine
    And black is the last thing you'll see
    Over and over
    Dreams of dying fill your head
    It's the sign of the cross
    That you'll find ahead
    No one will answer
    The light is fading away
    Captive souls are screaming out in pain
    There is no escape
    It's the ending of your precious life
    Your soul slipped away
    It belongs to the Queen of the Reich
    You're fading away, No, No, No
    The Queen of the Reich
    You're slipping away, yeah
    The Queen of the Reich

    I bought this ep at the Record Vault in San Francisco in 83 when I was 12. A guy at the counter took pity on my lost metalhead searching and recommended that I give this a try. Put it in my Walkman ,pushed play as I rode my skateboard down Haight, I was so blown away, I don't even remember getting home, all I remember was this blasting in my ears as the street scenes passed by like a haze....Good times!!!

      I have a similar memory. I was about 11 when I first heard this. It was a Saturday night and I had the stereo on low as grandpa disapproved of "metal". I was blown away, even at that volume. I remember telling my elder cousin about the band the next day and he laughed at me. Few months later, I caught him listening to mindcrime.

I listened to it so much I considered it their first "album" even though it's an ep, and to this day I get confused when people say the Warning is Queensryche's "Debut" album even though the self titled is only an ep- I guess that's the impact it made lol

    Hi
    Long time fan. I remember recording this video on VHS from MTV's Headbanger's Ball probably late '80's or early '90's. I watched it over and over.
    I even had the Album on tape cassette.
    I loved the videos like these. Some of the newer bands are going back to the older theatrical video formats.
    I had always hoped to see another video that tied in with a continuation of Queen Of The Ryche.
    Anyway, due to the fact that I had lost my VHS tapes when I became homeless for a few weeks back in 1996, I am so happy to find this video here on TH-cam.
    Thanks for the good memories.
    Keep Rockin'!

    When I was a deployed marine in Okinawa (1988) there was a club near Camp Hansen called the East Coast Club that had a screen as one of the walls. The first time I ever walked in this was playing on the screen and it was so loud it shook the club!

      I was deployed to Oki in '94 and '96! They still had the screen there, and I would always request this--much to the annoyance of the other Marines in the place, who would rather have been listening to Soundgarden or Tool. Oh well, tough breaks!

    When I was back in high school, KLOS of Los Angeles was giving away tickets to the first 100 callers to Queensryche at the Hollywood Palladium. A few weeks prior, for another concert, I had heard the DJ laughing at one of the winners who used the San Diego phone number to 'sneak' in for a win. So, I figured, what the heck; I dialed the San Diego number probably running up the phone bill for my parents, and voila! I won tickets. I couldn't get the car that night, so a metal head friend with an old 70's Cadillac Coupe de Ville hand me down car was invited, and it was quite the show. If I remember, the opening act was Carmine Appice's King Cobra. Oh, and I got a cassette of one of the albums which was played on the way home in my buddy's car, LOL

      +Richard Coffman Haha... that's one of the funniest comments I've seen attached to a TH-cam video, and I can only imagine it being said with sarcasm. Don't get me wrong; I love Queensryche, and always considered their EP their best album. Maybe because I bought the cassette tape new when it came out, and nothing they did afterward rocked quite as hard (although they still created some amazing stuff). This is one of my favorite Queensryche songs, but the video, although an interesting a window back to a time when MTV actually used to play music instead of completely unrelated television shows, just can't support such an obvious overstatement.

    • @themetalone7739
      @themetalone7739 8 ปีที่แล้ว

      +Richard Coffman everyone is entitled to their opinion, but I must ask...were you on any hallucinogenic drugs when you made this comment?
      The song is great. Like, really great. It's one of my favorite songs by this band, second only to songs from the "Operation Mindcrime" album.
      However, this video is complete and total garbage. It's a prime example of why music videos are as irrelevant as they are now. They're irrelevant because they got so far up their own ass, and the creators of them became so desperate to innovate, that they created visual excrement that gets pumped directly into the eye-sockets of everyone who watches videos like this.
      Let me put it this way. Ever heard of the band "Grim Reaper"? I would put one of their videos on loop for the rest of my life, before this.
      I came back to this video because I remember watching this vid as a teenager, and thinking it was trash. I wanted to see if I still felt that way. I do.

      Better than Rage for order? Sorry bro, the EP is great but Rage for order is the best thing this band has EVER released. Empire is commercial garbage (for the most part, there are a couple nice songs on it), Mindcrime was a great album, but it was more of the EP/Warning sound than anything. Rage for order is probably the most diverse collection of songs on a single album in the entire discography.

I know others will say... Merciful Fate... etc...

    From the very first moment I heard this, I thought it was the quintessential metal song. 35 years later I still do. It's perfect.

    They really showed their Sabbath admiration with this one.

    Tate could have sung anything and made it a hit imho. The fact he and the band wrote and performed songs decades ago that are both relevant and powerful today is a testament to their genius.

    Scott Rockenfield--such an awesome rock drummer. Easy to overlook with Chris and Geoff, but he's an absolute monster.

      Yeah man, I bought the album when it came out. At that time, I remember reading in Hit Parader or Circus Magazine that some record company thought it was so good that they released the LP with only four songs.
