      Definitely, Tate is incredible. I learned about Queensrÿche after listening to amazing Roy Khan from Conception/Kamelot, so I can't avoid comparing them, though their styles are totally different (well, Khan's style in Conception seems closer to Tate's, than Khan's style in Kamelot).
      Everything you said about Tate I can say about Roy Khan as well: ridiculous range, talent to make you tremble in awe and being totally perfect on stage.

      I bought my 1st Queensryche album in early 1991, after also buying my 1st truly high quality home stereo receiver and CD player, both made by Yamaha(everything that company touches turns to gold)! I'd already spent $850(in 1991 dollars) on just those 2 components, so I had to settle for inexpensive 2-way speakers. But the quality of those components compensated for the $150 speakers.
      After buying the CD player, I needed CD's, and I wanted my choices to be well-produced, high quality recordings that would bring out the MOST of my new system. So I bought Rush's newest "Chronicles"(double album, "best of"), Depeche Mode's new "Violator" album, and Queensryche's newest album, "Empire".
      All 3 of those CD's were/are VERY WELL mixed and produced, with absolutely TOP notch sound, rivaling even today's newest albums. I was absolutely blown away at how good that system sounded in my apartment living room, despite not having the "ideal" 3-way speakers.

    Queensrÿche was one of the greatest Bands. In the aera from their Debut EP to 'Warning', 'Rage for Order' and especially with the greatest Album of all time 'Operation: Mindcrime' to their commercial success 'Empire', Queensrÿche sets the standards for Progressive Metal.

    I saw this a while ago but I forgot to thank you before. Thank you very much for checking out Queensrÿche! You also chose the best quality video available from TH-cam for this.
    I could write a book about the band but I'll try to keep it short... :-) I'll just say they're one of the most talented songwriters at least in this genre of music. Geoff Tate's singing and Chris DeGarmo's backing vocals worked really well together. Geoff also had the ability to show lots of emotion through his voice. My favourite album by them is Rage For Order from 1986. It's such an unique album with creative little songs like "Neue Regel" and "Screaming In Digital". The last song "I Will Remember" is also one of the most hauntingly beautiful songs ever written.
    Most people praise "Operation: Mindcrime" from 1988 as their best. It's an exceptional concept album with lyrics that are even more relevant these days. The songs "The Mission" and "Suite Sister Mary" is where the album really starts to show its melodic brilliance. The songs before that aren't as melodic but always brilliant at least lyrically.
    And finally just a few words about the album "Empire" from 1990. It's one of the most well produced albums ever made. It sounds very good but many of the songs are more mainstream. They had their biggest hit in "Silent Lucidity", which is a beautiful song melodically and lyrically. The one song from this album that I really recommend for you and all of your viewers is the full studio version of "Anybody Listening?". Just listen to the lyrics as well or read them from somewhere. The song has an official music video but it's an edited version. All the main lyrics of the song are still there in the video version though... Well, this was quite a long text but I hope it was useful for you if you want to hear some more music from Queensrÿche.

    The absolute best voice in 80s - 90s metal or actually any genre hands down. I remember magazines and polls comparing him to the likes of Halford and Dickenson, but in reality there was something about Geoff's tonality that gave him a unique gift second to none. It went beyond just hitting the right notes. As age has its affect on everyone, Geoff's voice changed overtime and he spent sometime restructuring the style of his music to accompany those changes. However after sometime out of the spotlight he has recently regained some of that ability and although is no longer the lead singer in Queensryche he is showcasing his voice once again in multiple other projects. Rock On Geoff!

    As others have said, Tate, was in a class of his own. By the time they got famous, there was no one in the genre who could really go that high as a more natural baritone without it sounding screetchy (I know that's not a word lol). Being from the north west originally, I remember as a kid when they arrived on the scene it was a revelation. A band we could call our own! Pretty much everyone else was from the UK or California. I loved the original Queensryche, and it still bums me out that they haven't been able to put whatever caused the fight and lawsuits behind them.
