Saw the original line up support Bon Jovi in 1986 on Slippery When Wet tour and blew the roof off with Geoff's vocals ,Chris guitar solos and Scott played like a man possessed 🎤🎸🥁 still listening to the original lineup in 2024
So listening to this album again in my 40s is a lot different than my 20s! What a naughty naughty song... Lyrics: Another hungry look in her eyes again Pacing the floor, the hunt begins Skin-tight leather provides my pleasure Wake my fear, surge with the pressure Walk away and leave forever Do I dare? Raise my eyes, she stands Holding out healing hands Are you happy now? I walk the thin line for you Do just what you say to With fear as my friend I walk the thin line One more time for you Addictive face pretending Don't speak the word Forbidden sin relenting I barely heard Screams of entry blur my vision Wake my fear of divine intervention Crawl away and bleed forever If you dare Hand on mouth, the game goes on Love, our stage to play upon Are you happy now? I walk the thin line for you Do just what you say to With fear as my friend I walk the thin line One more time for you I walk the thin line for you Do just what you say to I walk the thin line for you Do just what you say to With fear as my friend I walk the thin line (One more time) one more for you
They opened for KISS and nobody knew who they were! By the end of the set, everyone knew who they were, and could not wait to go pick up the CD! History made from there both musically, and in studio, by one of the best live bands of all time!
I just started listening to these guys again after about thirty years....I have to say that there are very few (if any) artists these days that have this kind of talent. Even after all of that time their music is still awesome and timeless!! God I miss this level of talent in music these days.
I couldn't agree more. I get tears in my eyes for I miss them more than anything. The change of direction in their songs, music is phenomenal. These guys were the kings of everything. Miss them so so bad.💔
I worked a show they played in Birmingham AL and got to watch soundcheck and setup they had a movie reel big as a tractor tire that played the whole set.. loudest concert I ever been to they played well over an hour guess that’s why I’m deaf lol… RESISTANCE!!! Shouts a man on the right… can’t solve the problems overnight 🤘
You give me chills from head to toe. Always have, ALWAYS WILL!!! Why did this have to crumble. You were the most amazing musicians ever. Miss these days.💔😭
"Dear God send us a voice that pierces the soul and encourages greatness of immeasurable consequence", Geoff Tate is that voice. Show me ONE, just ONE that can sing like that...... There's none...👍💯!!!!
Empire was released on this day 8/20/90. It's the 4th full-length studio album by the American heavy metal band Queensrÿche. The album stands, Queensrÿche's most commercially successful release, reaching triple platinum status. The primary single, the power ballad "Silent Lucidity", reached number 1 on the Mainstream Rock Tracks and number 9 on the Billboard Hot 100. "Silent Lucidity" was also nominated in 1992 for the Grammy Awards for Best Rock Song and Best Rock Vocal Performance by a Duo or Group. The album won a 1991 Northwest Area Music Award for Best Metal Recording.
+Steve Sullivan I'm with you Steve, no other band has ever touched me the way Queensryche has. I really don't know how to express what their music means to me. From the first time I heard Operation Mindcrime, I was hooked. The words and music are so intense and still significant to this day. Geoff Tate's voice is remarkable, when he sings it's like I can feel it. After Queensryche, other bands seem so basic and shallow......that's only my opinion and feelings after close to 30 years of listening to these guys.
Steve Sullivan they are amazing. I was in my late teens when they first appeared and I've never stopped, even now in my mid fifties I have to have my dose of the Ryche.
I was In Modena in 1991, attending the Monsters of rock. Queensryche were the third band to go on stage. They played one of the best concert I ever seen. They closed the show with Silent Lucidy. At the end of it me and the entire audience were astonished. We all gave them a 10 minutes standing ovation and we couldn't stop to applaude. 40 thousand people!!!!!!!! They couldn't leave stage because we were alla there with hands in the air. I saw lots of concert, but I never saw a reaction like that. Metallica roadies were trying to let them leave the stage, because it was Metallica turn to start their performance. Crazy.
Thanks for telling us about that concert! I LOVE to hear about times when they got the recognition from fans that they truly do deserve. NO ONE can touch them IMO. EVER!!!
Saw them open up for Ozzy killer of giants tour absolutely amazing years later I saw them at the House of blues in Boston wasn't familiar with some of the new stuff but it's queensryche nothing more need be said
This was their best, they are my favorite band, got me thru some really hard times. I miss Degarmo and Tate, No band has touched me more. Wish i could go back to this time!
Damn, I forgot how f-ing AWESOME this song is!!! Those guitar riffs at the end… f-ing awesome!!! They were always playing these guys’ music at the gym… Man I’d love to go back to those early 90’s… These guys should’ve been way more popular!
I never get tired of hearing "Operation Mind Crime", it's even better live! Absolutely one of my favorite albums. Some people don't get though and that's a shame.
Best band along with Alice In Chains to come out of Seattle. Bar None. 1988 's Operation Mindcrine had me getting peeled off the walls lol. I love Geoff And Chris Degarmo what a shredder. Tate has vocals that are supurb do to an 0pera back round. I adore them. Empire rocks as well. Love you guys. Please try to get along. Your brothers.
Saw them on the Empire tour in Spokane, WA, Jan. '92 (or Dec. '91). They filmed a video for one of the songs that snowy night. I recall Geoff Tate was the ultimate professional as they did another take for the cameras, saying, "Please bear with us as we do that one again". They were flawless. Edit: I just looked it up, and we were the last stop on the Building Empires Tour, Jan. 3, 1992, Spokane Coliseum (now demolished). This may even be the video they filmed that night! Someone correct me if I am wrong.
Saw them in Hershey PA. One of the best shows I’ve ever seen, second row from the stage, I’ll never forget it and I still get goosebumps listening to almost all their songs, almost caught a guitar pick they chucked out, guy in front of me got it just as it was about to go in my hand, I would’ve taken that pic to my grave
That musical chemistry between Michael chris and goeff is unreal i never saw any band back in that era work a stage quite the why they do with everything contained within them just no other way to put it. But all of them jackson and rockinfield too no one simply performs its a well oiled passionate machine. And that charism made them the best live act of the 80s. I love queenryche. Solid songs and monsters on stage you can't beat that. Damn I miss them.😢💗💯
With fear as my friend, I walk the thin line for you.....It's no mistake that thanks to Maestro David Kyle I love the voices of Geoff Tate, Layne Stayley, Chris Cornell and Ann Wilson. When I found out he was their vocal coach I had an moment of clarity. Bravo.
The Thin Line Another hungry look, In her eyes again. Pacing the floor, The hunt begins. Skin-tight leather provides my pleasure. Wake my fear, surge with the pressure. Walk away and leave forever, do I dare? Raise my eyes, she stands. Holding out healing hands... are you happy now?.... I walk the Thin Line for you. Do just what you say to, With fear as my friend, I walk the Thin Line one more time for you. Addictive face pretending, don't speak the Word. Forbidden sin relenting, I barely heard... screams of entry blur my vision. Wake my fear of Divine Intervention Crawl away and bleed forever, if you dare. Hand on mouth the game goes on. Love, our stage to play upon. Are you happy now? I walk the Thin Line for you. Do just what you say to. With fear as my friend, I walk the Thin Line one more time for you. I walk the Thin Line for you. Do just what you say to. I walk the Thin Line for you. Do just what you say to, With fear as my friend, I walk the Thin Line one more time for you.
I saw them on the Promised Land tour, 3 times. Type O Negative opened for them. What a show! Love them! At least the early stuff up through Promised Land.
Thanks for this post. I've Never seen this footage before. In 04/21 of the Coronavirus crisis, this is one of the coolest things I've seen in a long time. 🙏
This is one of my all time faves from Queensryche. Reminds me of old times, some very tough things I've been through, and survived to conquer. Thanks guys, ty God.
I first heard Queensryche open for Ratt in Knoxville. They were performing Rage For Order. I fell in love with I Only Dream in Infrared. Been a fan ever since. However, I must admit I lost track of them after Empire.
If degarmo and Geoff could make a mends with whatever tates jackass self did to him and tate actually apolgized for being the dick we all know he was and is then we might get a chance for a legendary queensryche final tour back but i doubt that will ever happen tates a nasty narcacisst
I was about 9 or 10 when I first heard Mindcrime. It was unlike anything I had listened to before. I used to listen to metal in secret because grandpa, who was the elder in the Jehovah's Witness congregation disapproved of such music. Then a couple of years later, Empire dropped. Although OM will always be my favorite Ryche album, Empire holds a special place in my heart. I remember my first major crush whenever I listen to Jet City woman and this song. She was a few years older than me and was my neighbour. She used to stand at the window and call out, asking me to turn up the volume whenever I played this album. I would spend holidays peeking at her the entire day from behind the curtain as she walked about in their garden. She was the most beautiful girl I had ever seen. I wonder where she is now.
Thank you Lisa for getting me into Queensryche with "Close to You" and Walk in the Shadows". You always had a knack for finding great metal bands. Queensryche is unique, just like you are my little "metal chick". It's 2021 and it's so refreshing to listen to great bands like Queensryche.
Man, I’ve been on a QR kick lately...Maybe it’s that 2020’s been so shitty, and with so much time to think, the nostalgia’s been real. I think back to 1992 when I was so into this band, and I just had to buy this album...And how I loved Geoff Tate! He was so handsome then...He was 33 and I was 17...Now I’m 47. So many bittersweet memories
Saw the original line up support Bon Jovi in 1986 on Slippery When Wet tour and blew the roof off with Geoff's vocals ,Chris guitar solos and Scott played like a man possessed 🎤🎸🥁 still listening to the original lineup in 2024
Me too. Their 3 albums are holy for me - Operation Mindcrime, Empire & Promise Land.
Where are all my "RYCHE-N-ROLLER'S"?? EMPIRE tour was the shit!! 🤘🤘
So listening to this album again in my 40s is a lot different than my 20s! What a naughty naughty song...
Lyrics:
Another hungry look in her eyes again
Pacing the floor, the hunt begins
Skin-tight leather provides my pleasure
Wake my fear, surge with the pressure
Walk away and leave forever
Do I dare?
Raise my eyes, she stands
Holding out healing hands
Are you happy now?
I walk the thin line for you
Do just what you say to
With fear as my friend I walk the thin line
One more time for you
Addictive face pretending
Don't speak the word
Forbidden sin relenting
I barely heard
Screams of entry blur my vision
Wake my fear of divine intervention
Crawl away and bleed forever
If you dare
Hand on mouth, the game goes on
Love, our stage to play upon
Are you happy now?
I walk the thin line for you
Do just what you say to
With fear as my friend I walk the thin line
One more time for you
I walk the thin line for you
Do just what you say to
I walk the thin line for you
Do just what you say to
With fear as my friend I walk the thin line
(One more time) one more for you
They opened for KISS and nobody knew who they were! By the end of the set, everyone knew who they were, and could not wait to go pick up the CD! History made from there both musically, and in studio, by one of the best live bands of all time!
My brother interviewed DeGarmo that tour Tucson
What year was that? I must have missed them. I saw kiss every time but once in Birmingham
@@TheScooter1963 1984
I was born in 1984 and here I'm listening to them, I wish I could have seen them live in their best years!
@@TheScooter1963 1985.. I saw them in Bakersfield CA open for Kiss.... Queensryche smoked em!!?
One of their most underrated tracks. That bass tone is so ballsy
✌️😎
Honestly Eddie Jackson's sound is up there with the great bass guitarists of all time. That driving punch is so good
Agreed
This was the Queensryche I remember. Totally dedicated and full of soul and passion in their music.
Yes. They were at their peak. It’s sad who their peak was the beginning of their end
Yep. Savatage was like that too. RIP.
It's just one song after another with these guys. God I wish I could go back to 1991 and see them live like they were back then.
I DID- December 12th, 1988- got picture to prove it! Nicest guys ever!
Christy Long I got to see them in Shreveport, LA, best concert I've ever been to. I just wish I could relive it. Did you actually get to meet them?
DITTO BROTHER
My first concert ever as a kid! I will always love them!
Me too I seen Geoff live a few times last year
I just started listening to these guys again after about thirty years....I have to say that there are very few (if any) artists these days that have this kind of talent. Even after all of that time their music is still awesome and timeless!! God I miss this level of talent in music these days.
His vocals are off the charts into the stratosphere
I agree 100%! There’s just nothing decent out there worth listening to!
Da gebe ich dir recht ,ich vermisse es auch
I couldn't agree more. I get tears in my eyes for I miss them more than anything. The change of direction in their songs, music is phenomenal. These guys were the kings of everything. Miss them so so bad.💔

Shouts a man on the right… can’t solve the problems overnight 🤘
I was born in 1969 and glad I had the best music of the Era years, 80s and 90s,nothing compares, today's music is lame,suits all the sissies of today.
You give me chills from head to toe. Always have, ALWAYS WILL!!! Why did this have to crumble. You were the most amazing musicians ever. Miss these days.💔😭
Who Degarmo and Wilton? I agree
Cool tune reminds me of the old days when good music was appreciated. Thanks for that!
No one in this lineup got the recognition they deserved. Most awesome concert in the late 80s. 89 I think it was.
That's what made them so great, they just kicked ass and blew everyone away, like it was all in a day's work.
@@cryptojihadi265kekW
Agreed I think queensryche was a band in a league of their own just that good
I feel Queensrhyche n Savatage are two legendary level bands that deserved wayyyy more recognition
@@NavidKhan84 Absolutely
His body movement is music in itself ! Love Geoff
So sexy ❤
"Dear God send us a voice that pierces the soul and encourages greatness of immeasurable consequence", Geoff Tate is that voice. Show me ONE, just ONE that can sing like that...... There's none...👍💯!!!!

Caught them on the final performance of Mindcrime in its entirety decades ago... legends in their own time! No band's moved me, the way they have.
+Steve Sullivan I'm with you Steve, no other band has ever touched me the way Queensryche has. I really don't know how to express what their music means to me. From the first time I heard Operation Mindcrime, I was hooked. The words and music are so intense and still significant to this day.

After Queensryche, other bands seem so basic and shallow......that's only my opinion and feelings after close to 30 years of listening to these guys.
mskARin888 Hell yes! Glad to see I'm not the only one who cherished this bands entire catalog. They peaked with Promised Land in my opinion. Legends!!
+mskARin888 Phew, thought it was just me.
i saw mindcrime and and justice for all in knoxville. gr8 show
Steve Sullivan they are amazing. I was in my late teens when they first appeared and I've never stopped, even now in my mid fifties I have to have my dose of the Ryche.
We get off on tate s vocals but his dramatic mannerism on stage shows his epic talent to capture his audience. Omg amazing.😭😱💔❤
Não sabia que existia a perfeição em pessoa... Geoff Tate ❤ que voz, que interpretação, estou pasma com esta banda que acabei de conhecer... Incrível
Was fortunate to see this show...still awesome...the only Queensryche for me...
not only does Geoff have the voice of all voices..hes nice to look at..shit...the whole band is hot..and can definitely ROCK
Queensryche was in a league of their own just that great of a band in my opinion
So damn good, every time I saw them together! Shame this band is no longer together!
I was In Modena in 1991, attending the Monsters of rock. Queensryche were the third band to go on stage. They played one of the best concert I ever seen. They closed the show with Silent Lucidy.

So much better than Metallica IMHO
I saw that video on YT. They were so good
Thanks for telling us about that concert! I LOVE to hear about times when they got the recognition from fans that they truly do deserve. NO ONE can touch them IMO. EVER!!!
You were so lucky to see them live...
Was that with AC/DC, Black Crowes, and Crue?
QR were a 6 cylinder motor firing on all 8.. unstoppable. Saw them 3 times on this tour and was incredible
love the dueling guitars
This definitely needs 100 million views. These guys are a legend
Es sind Musik Götter, wie Queen
Damn they're so tight.... one of the best bands ever live.
flawless... \m/
Saw them open up for Ozzy killer of giants tour absolutely amazing years later I saw them at the House of blues in Boston wasn't familiar with some of the new stuff but it's queensryche nothing more need be said
My favorite track from the Empire album, Geoff Tate & the entire band , phenomenal 🙌 👏 👍😎
these guys pull emotion from my core....they sing to my soul. YOU GUYS ROCK MY WORLD...
So many memories and emotions to this
Im 21 years old and I would do anything to be in the 80s and 90s to experience this band and the peak of rock music
U had 2 b there was amazing
@ don't rub it in man. everything is so lame and ghetto now.
This was their best, they are my favorite band, got me thru some really hard times. I miss Degarmo and Tate, No band has touched me more. Wish i could go back to this time!
That voice ❣❣❣❣❣ one of the few who sounds even better live than in studio version!!!!! Unbeatable, not replaceable!!!!!!
Damn, I forgot how f-ing AWESOME this song is!!! Those guitar riffs at the end… f-ing awesome!!! They were always playing these guys’ music at the gym… Man I’d love to go back to those early 90’s… These guys should’ve been way more popular!
I never get tired of hearing "Operation Mind Crime", it's even better live! Absolutely one of my favorite albums. Some people don't get though and that's a shame.
the song is from the album Empire
This is from Empire, another great album.
Class of 88.we were spinning vinyl in 1984 the message still hold true today.
Now this is a great Queensryche song!
One of the best if not the best vocal performance of Geoff on this track.
Check the Auburn Hills 91' version, I prefer this one.
And one of many times I've seen them. One word here. Perfection!!!!
Queensryche was the epitome Of metal rock this band was so talented I love them
Best band along with Alice In Chains to come out of Seattle. Bar None. 1988 's Operation Mindcrine had me getting peeled off the walls lol. I love Geoff And Chris Degarmo what a shredder.

THE Mighty Mighty Queensrÿche!
🤘💀🤘
I saw them on the mind crime tour in Los Angeles.....omg I was blown. Away. Just the BEST👊👍👍👍👍
Love the guitars on this song....through the years it has become one of my fav on empire.
Mr marxxmann you sir are correct nothing has come close in 25 -30yrs these guys have shit load of talent some of their songs are EPIC.
God damn they were so good! I dont think even they knew how good they really were.
I don’t think they did, and I think Geoff took his voice for granted
Geoff, this band is timeless and I can't wait to see you in Denver, Colorado!!!!
Damn, I Know it's 7 years later, but that would be pretty epic!
I adore all of their songs! For the band, I m their big fan, even now!!!!!
Hands down Empire album is the greatest of all time
Absolutely Love Empire
The Thin Line
Another hungry look, In her eyes again.
Pacing the floor, The hunt begins.
Skin-tight leather provides my pleasure.
Wake my fear, surge with the pressure.
Walk away and leave forever,
do I dare?
Raise my eyes, she stands.
Holding out healing hands...
are you happy now?....
I walk the Thin Line for you.
Do just what you say to,
With fear as my friend,
I walk the Thin Line one more time for you.
Addictive face pretending, don't speak the Word.
Forbidden sin relenting, I barely heard...
screams of entry blur my vision.
Wake my fear of Divine Intervention
Crawl away and bleed forever, if you dare.
Hand on mouth the game goes on.
Love, our stage to play upon.
Are you happy now?
I walk the Thin Line for you.
Do just what you say to.
With fear as my friend,
I walk the Thin Line one more time for you.
I walk the Thin Line for you.
Do just what you say to.
I walk the Thin Line for you.
Do just what you say to,
With fear as my friend,
I walk the Thin Line one more time for you.
Awesome. Forgot how great this song & concert is!
***** Lucky you. How are you?
***** Please do enjoy! If you take any cool photos, would love to see. Take care, hope to hear from you ;)
***** No problem, girlfriend in Arizona has it, lol
Ive been listening to QueensRyche almost every day since I was introduced to their music and I still get goosebumps!! I Love it!!
Love you Geoff... you put yer heart and soul into your music you guys rock!
Great tune.
LOVE these guys! Never get tired of them!!!
There was a time when these guys were the biggest band on the planet.
Even though it's an atypical song, it's in the top 3 of my favorites in Empire❤
too bad we dont get voices like this anymore ,best band
kyndred2008 indeed
David Draiman!!!
Ever!
try with Roy Khan, Michael Eriksen, Tommy Karevik the closer to Tate now.
No Khan no Kamelot
I wore this CD OUT
LOVE IT❤❤❤❤❤
In the words of Doctor Alex Stone, now that’s a band!!
GAWD I miss these days. Chris, salute. Thanks all you guys.
Same...
no one like them
DeGarmo-Tate : the bar is set too high for anyone else
I saw them on the Promised Land tour, 3 times. Type O Negative opened for them. What a show! Love them! At least the early stuff up through Promised Land.
I saw them on that tour with Type O too!
Saw them on that tour as well. It was my first concert. Been a fan ever since.
me too! my dad took 17yr old me to a show on that tour. Could not believe what i was seeing. just amazing
Thanks for this post.

Not to knock the line up of Queensryche now, but it would be great to see all these guys play together again.
Stop suing each other and just play us some songs !!!!!!!!!!!
If degarmo and Geoff could make a mends with whatever tates jackass self did to him and tate actually apolgized for being the dick we all know he was and is then we might get a chance for a legendary queensryche final tour back but i doubt that will ever happen tates a nasty narcacisst
Just EXTRAORDINAIRE‼️💋j’ADORE🙋🏽♀️quelle voix, quel talent cette BANDE🐣🔥💕oh‼️one, two, tree👍WOUAH‼️So great voice, song👋Geoff the bester🙋🏽♀️💋
OMG some of the best all time ROKKERS!!!!!
The real Queensryche geoff tate mike Wilton Chris degarmo Scott rockenfield Eddie Jackson
The Original Queensrÿche
The BEST!!!!
Why did DeGarmo leave!
@@redleader3394 Creative differences!!
Queensrÿche died when Chris left. He was the brains of the operation.
It's obvious here that Chris and Geoff were the main ingredient of this band, plus Scott! Hell of a drummer!

Oh yeah! Geoff is so gorgeous, sexy, hot... His voice drives me crazy. Amazing! Oh my!!!
He was gorgeous!
Thank you Lisa for getting me into Queensryche with "Close to You" and Walk in the Shadows". You always had a knack for finding great metal bands. Queensryche is unique, just like you are my little "metal chick". It's 2021 and it's so refreshing to listen to great bands like Queensryche.
This is one of best songs of Empire cd
i was turned on to these guys back in the day..operation mindcrime, empire, man...soundtrack to my junior year...
Geoff Tate is such a babe here! Awesome band! Go Queensryche!🤟🤟🤟🤟
The best line-up they had!
Best concert ever, Mindcrime, and LiveCrime together, one show, mindblowing!
One of my favorite Queensryche songs.
Man, I’ve been on a QR kick lately...Maybe it’s that 2020’s been so shitty, and with so much time to think, the nostalgia’s been real.

Pure raw rock n roll 🥁🎤🪘🎻🎸🎧🎼🎵🎶🎹🎺🎛️🎤🎵🎸🎻🪡🎧🎼🦾💪👁️👊✊
Jesus Rockenfield is a beast on drums
Always! And a super nice guy.
My god, does that bring back some memories.
Nobody can sing this but Geoff!
Geoff can’t sing this well anymore
When Geoff rejoins I will get tickets to the show gladly.
And Chris and Scott. Not going to happen. Too much bad blood. We can only hope
Listen Punks Queensryche is your Master.
Marvelous! What a sound!
just saw em in 09, they did a Suite of Empire, rocked this tune, Chicago HoB, awesome!
I NEVER MISS A GEOFF TATE SHOW . I CAN HONESTLY SAY QUEENSRYCHE WITHOUT GEOFF..SUX
Queensryche without Geoff Tate and Chris Degarmo is only a cover band.
amazing Tate is the best singer ever. can sing any tone or range. I'm glad too have grown up to this music. rock on people.
