And he’d already been singing for nearly an hour. They CLOSED the show with this. I really wish there was a ‘big balls’ emoji on this joint 🔥🔥🔥

Baby, the 80s were such a blast! I saw Queensryche SEVERAL times live. They always sounded this good live. The clothes we wore were so AWESOME and fun. I had a black denim mini dress with zippers EVERYWHERE, of course with matching high heels. They were fun times, concert tickets were like 20.00 for decent seats! Glad to see you younger dudes checking out our music. Thank you.

HEY BRO NO STOPPING IN THE MIDDLE OF THE SOLOS ............

All the rock bands went to Japan in the seventies and eighties. Even the smallest bands got treated like the Beatles over there. Many bands did live albums over there too. Some of the biggest were Made in Japan by Deep Purple, Unleashed in the East by Judas Priest and Maiden Japan, a play on words, by Iron Maiden.

The beautiful fusion that is symphonic rock. Who knew opera and hard rock would go together so well.

As a rock DJ, we played Queesryche way before this song was popular. Great band. Really didn’t like them too much til I saw them live. Changed everything.

Queensryche is actually a Seattle band and the lead singer (Geoff Tate) was classically trained hence his pipes. They have a lot of really good music but this song was their break out song that got them notices and pushed into the mainstream rock. Probably their most famous and notable album was the album Operation Mindcrime. I correlate that album to a sort of story line about corruption in the church drugs and prostitution.. you cannot select a specific song off that album and just play it because you will lose content to it. But if you ever get a chance; listen to it start to finish. It's really an amazing piece of work! Glad to see you checking out the "'Ryche" 🙌

These guys have been one of my favorite bands for like 30 years. They have always been pretty great. Had a following around the 88-94 range. At least in my circle of friends at the time. The lead singer was Geoff Tate. He has like some amazing vocal range of like 6 octaves or something. Some stuff like the whole rock opera album "Operation: Mindcrime", (which is great btw) has a lot of really good songs like "I don't believe in love" and "Eyes of a Stranger" to name a couple. I HIGHLY recommend the song "Silent Lucidity" off the Empire album. It's one of those really amazing songs with a really positive message and a melody that you'll remember forever. Anyways, Love your reviews. Thanks for doing them and keep 'em coming.

Best singing voice in Metal history!!

Yes! His aunt was an opera teacher.

New subscriber here and I am *hooked* on your channel - spent the better part of my day binge watching your reaction videos and loved every minute of it! THESE are the kind of reaction videos I've been looking for - not only are you wildly entertaining, you provide thoughtful commentary and actually pay attention to the lyrical content (even offering your own analysis in some cases) which is something I truly appreciate. Speaking of bands with "Queen" in their name, I would LOVE to see you react to a song by *my* favorite rock band Queens of the Stone Age. "No One Knows" was the song that introduced me to their work (one of their biggest mainstream hits), but I think that "Misfit Love" or "Smooth Sailing" would set your world on fire! 🔥 Much love to you; keep on doing what you're doing! 🤘

I grew up in the 80s, it was awesome

if you like 80s Metal with a fantastic Vocalist you're gonna need to check out Ronnie James Dio. I'd recommend starting Rainbow in the Dark or Man on the Silver Mountain cause i feel like those are some of the songs you'd like most sung by him. Dio was the lead singer for Elf, Rainbow, Black Sabbath and eventually his own band Dio. He's the one who brought the horns gesture into rock.

Love Your Takes!!! Great band! The hardcore fans will probably say they sold out in 1990 but "Empire" is an amazing album from top to bottom. Empire had something like 6 Rock Radio hits/singles all while typical 80's rock was winding down and Grunge was taking over. "Operation Mind Crime" also an amazing album

You gotta listen to Deftones Rob! I promise you will be glued to the sound. Start with “My own summer”

top line my channel , geof in this time and this notes = god, tnks from brazil

The Banshee reference is tremendous. Well done.

Victim of changes - Judas Priest

10:35 Japan had was the first non-Western country to really have its own heavy metal scene. In 1984, the biggest Japanese band was probably Loudness, who'd just had a crossover hit called "Crazy Nights".

Eyes of a Stranger should be your next Queensryche listen. Heck, Operation Mindcrime album is a whole story.

If you want to hear a deathcore song with the gnarliest vocalist please check out Lorna Shore and either their song “Into the Hellfire” or “Sun // Eater”. They’re from NJ but has recently gone on tour all around the world! Edit: I really enjoy all of your insights, and appreciate your honesty! Even though you may not really be musically trained, you have a great ear for catching what is notable or not! You have a great series, thanks for sharing!

The Beegees. Any song, they are all bangers

This was done AFTER they had already performed for the previous two hours.

Seen Queensryche twice in their prime, absolutely mind blowing!!!

So, Rob, I have a GOAT track for your workout sessions: Volbeat - Warriors Call Thank me later. Actually most of what Volbeat have done is a straight up banger.. but that particular song is really for fighting!

I don't think I've seen you ever rewind a song so many times. I'mma have to go rewatch all of your other reactions to make sure

I’m going to throw a curve ball here (maybe) and suggest Creepy Green Light by Type O Negative. It peaks early but is such a vibe it totally pays off. Listen on full volume in the dark!

The guitar player, Chris DeGarmo is also a commercial jet pilot! Geoff Tate the singer was a classicly trained opera singer. You should check out "Operation Livecrime" a live masterpiece, every member at the absolute apex of their game!

Yeah they were swimming in it

Ohhhh. Bro. This band is... different. Progressive and dark. Oddly beautiful as well. It's wild.

I know Rob loves the big balla pipes these guys have when they go high...how would he feel about somebody with tectonic plates for vocal chords like Geoff Castelucci :P

bro you GOTTA listen to supermassive black hole by muse!!!!

React to CLUTCH. Neil Fallon has Bars. Storyteller. Careful wit that Mic.

I love Geoff Tate so much, i saw him last year ando he still can sing a lot ❤ my favourite is Queen of the Reich!

Great band and from what I understand this was the next to the last song of the night his voice was incredible

Oh shit, dude, KISS was MASSIVE in Japan. They used to sell out the Budakan regularly.

Rob, I recommend that you listen to Mother Sky by Can. Try to hear the full version (almost fifteen minutes!). It's a rip-roaring groove!

Seen these guys twice. Amazing live. Both times they opened for Metallica

You GOT to listen to Audioslave. Recommend 'Show me how to live' and 'Chochise'.

you should check out ZZ top la grange. something completely different from white guys shelve

Rob: you stated in your commentary that you’d never heard of this band before. Let me say this….and it’s not to be confrontational or arrogant You all today are clueless when it comes to music. The talent and sounds coming from virtuosos and savants of musicians from the 70 and 80’s has gone unrecognized and under appreciated because it was overshadowed by garbage top 40 hits played to death on the radio It was therefore never given the respect it was due Thank you for helping keep it alive but there is so much for you to explore that you wouldn’t ever need to listen to anything else. Keep digging and you’ll see that most stuff popular today is a rip off of these forgotten masters of their craft

This is one fantastic band! Some of the most amazing vocals you will ever hear, Geoff Tate. You should check out the musical masterpiece “Operation Mindcrime”.

Next you need to check out Silent Lucidity or Empire by these guys. Both great songs.

You should rip Higher by Creed

Metallica - Sad But True Tool - Opiate Chevelle - The Red Soundgarden - Outshined War on Drugs - I Don't Live Here Anymore

The Japanese were some of the biggest metalheads that there are.

You should listen to thoughts and prayers by motionless in white for reacting to white For People music series

I'd be curious to see what you think of Elliot Smith. Based on some of your reactions, I think you might dig it. He was an incredible guitarist and song writer who was never fully appreciated in his time. If you ever want to get into some more folksy/less rock oriented music, give this video a try - it's called: Elliott Smith - Clementine live + interview 1995 (Breakfast Time). Bonus fact: He committed suicide by stabbing himself in the chest (twice!).

Dude you HAVE to do a video on Iron Maiden - Fear of the Dark - Live in Helsinki, Finland 1992. This beats the studio version and all other versions, hands down.

Please do LED ZEPPELIN Stairway or Deep Purple Child In Time (both Studio Versions) next.

Check out Loudness " rock and roll crazy night" a Japanese metal band in the 80s

"Jet City Woman" will get a higher rating. Let it rip!

Just found your videos! Love them! You should check out " Still Counting " by Volbeat!

PLS REACT TO FUEL OR RIDE THE LIGHTNING BY METALLICA

Geoff tate the human air raid siren.

This is the end song

Gotta listen to to the hellfire by lorna shore!!!

You should react to 7words by deftones

The '80s was The '70s + spandex. (😂😛)

Should react to “He’ll fire” by Ooklah the moc

hey Rob if you see this please check out Stricken by Disturbed David’s voice is amazing on that song and i think you’d love it

Geoff is wearing a leotard with a belt buckle? and just kills it

If you don't mind no vocals, I highly recommend Playing God by Polyphia

Has anyone recommended Nine Inch Nails yet? Literally anything by them

They have the talent of the House Band at a local dive bar.. and then there's Geoff Tate

Yo please give Indians by Anthrax a try, and Dying in Your Arms by Trivium a try for the white music series, I think you’d love em both!

Rob you need to do, Slayer - Seasons in the abyss, I've had a look and you're seriously missing an injection of slayer.

Surprised you haven't got to deftones yet! Be quiet and drive is a great song if you decide to give them a shot!

This that Sam and Dean music. Supernatural music.

Queensryche was founded in King 🤴 County! L 🤣 L The guitarist you saw at the beginning is Chris DeGarmo. Geoffrey Tate of Queensryche, Ann Wilson and her youngest sister Nancy Wilson, the late Layne Staley of Alice in Chains and the late Chris Cornell of Soundgarden lived in Metro Seattle in the 1970s. They were students of the late singing coach David Kyle. Marilyn Horne and Frederica von Stade were his students from classical music. Frederica von Stade moved to my hometown area the San Francisco Bay Area 🌉 This song and album were released 40 years ago 🎂. Written by Geoffrey Tate and Chris DeGarmo. Classic 1980s metal 🤘 Suggested videos 📹: 1 Queensryche performs Queen of the Reich 2 Heart 💕 performs There's the Girl 👧

day 4 of asking for the masterpiece that is Man in the Box by Alice in Chains

Try out heart-alone

You should react to a Zach Bryan song

aye im begging you bruh listen to stricken by disturbed i think youll fw it, love the vids btw

Queen of the Reich same concert......👍

It would be a long-ass video, but it's totally worth listening to all of Queensryche's Operation: Mindcrime on stream or just on your own time. It's probably the best introduction to rock opera/concept albums I could think of. It's basically an hour of them telling a story with this style of music.

Listen to mötley crüe

Ohkay.. ...a screaming 7-8.. ...not the headliner tho... .. . . .. ...You got this!

I've never heard of this band, guess im not quite as mayo as i thought

Do deftones next

Makes me want to listen to Journey

Aaah my favorite song by this band Geoff Tate is no longer in the band and doing his own thing

Yes! More power metal like music please! DragonForce!? His head will explode with those guitar solos Or imagine a reaction to a Glory hammer video haha

Pantera. A new level. PLEASE!

If you wanna see an amazing voice, you absolutely have to watch Kamelot - Elizabeth parts i, ii, & iii (live from One Cold Winter's Night)

7.5, are you fucking kidding? You just witnessed one of the best if not the best live performance in the history of music, not just rock music.

Just wait until he finds Skindred!

By FAR, this group’s best and most successful track is Silent Lucidity which won a Grammy in 1990. It’s a must watch! 🎸🤗

You want an operatic trained voice, hit up Iron Maiden- Run to the hills

Great reactions!!!Would love to see you do KISS “I Was Made For Loving You” music video!

I’m surprised this one was recommended to you. Don’t get me wrong I am a Queensrÿche fan, but I think you would enjoy Silent Lucidity or Empire more.

Songs you definitely need to check out: Static-X - Push It Mushroomhead - Becoming Cold System of a Down - Revenga **System of a Down - Prison Song** Rammstein - Radio

You want an operatic trained voice, hit up Black Sabbath - Run to the hills.

We need psychosocial by slipknot reaction

Never, ever pause during a solo. Just disrespectful

Your channel has a gaping hole. Where's the Pink Floyd? Please listen to "Time", and "Money". Probably Money first, it's a banger, then Time.

I do not like this song 😂

WUZZUP ROB ⚡️⚡️⚡️⚡️⚡️ Okay , I gonna hit ya with something 10 times harder than R.A.T.M. They are called PANTERA , CHECK OUT PRIMAL CONCRETE SLEDGE OFFICIAL VIDEO , it was done in RUSSIA , Then listen to COWBOYS FROM HELL , Studio version , and 1 more to bring it home , .FUCKING HOSTILE - That's a good banger . Now you have the assignment, I KNOW YOU WILL ACHIEVE MAXIMUM METAL PERSONIFICATION. It's not easy to really transcend te impossible fucking power of a pantera concert , but here's a sneak peek . KEEP ROCKIN ROB ⚡️⚡️⚡️😎💯

What an ignorant reaction.
