From one reactor to another, do NOT miss out on Queensryches live in Tokyo song Take Hold of the Flame. It's a vocal clinic. Geoff Tate is the greatest progressive rock/metal vocalist in history and its not even debatable. Chris DeGarmo guitar solos are the best as well. They always fit the song perfect without being over the top shredding. To really appreciate their ability to draw emotion out of the audience check out Roads to Madness as well. That song still gives me goosebumps 35 years later. Keep up the great work!

The talent alone is incredible and I am so grateful I was a teen when these true talented musicians were on the radio. My ears can barely stand the souless noise that passes as music today. “People turn away from the eyes of a stranger….I’ve always known that the mirror never lies.” That is such a universal deep truth.

@PotawatomiThunderNew Жыл бұрын

I’m not intentionally trying to create a dispute here, but I don’t like how Queensryche gets thrown into the mix of “hair” bands. I know they are sort of worked into that circuit commercially, and yeah Geoff Tate _visually_ had that sort of thing going on during this point of their career, but musically, they are leagues ahead of what hair bands are. What people think of as hair bands are more along the lines of Glam Metal and you could probably use both of those terms interchangeably. But the product you get with Queensryche is not the same product you get with Glam Metal and hair bands and all that. From the subject matter of the songs to the music itself. Everybody knows they categorized more as Prog Metal. And some of their early stuff you could arguably say they had a little bit of a Power Metal thing going on as well. And I’m saying this last because it’s just more of an observation than an actual point, but bringing back to what I said about them, Geoff especially, visually having a sort of hair band look going on; I think it’s ironic that them having made a beautiful ballad like Silent Lucidity is the type of thing that gets them grouped with hair bands, even though by that point, any visual resemblances to hair bands was already gone.

Growing up near Seattle in the 80s was an amazing time for music , we had Queensryche , Alice In Chains, Pearl Jam, Soundgarden, Nirvana , Queensryche was my favorite because they had so many different sounding songs and Geoff Tate’s voice was unmatched in his phrasing, power, range , and clarity

You have to check out their songs "Anybody Listening" from their album "Empire" and " Someone Else" from the album "Promised Land". For that song do the regular album version not the whole band version 🙂🤘

Empire still my favorite album.

Omg yes please, Someone Else is so underrated and I'm entranced by that song

I can honestly say there isn't a bad Queensryche song....they are my all around favorite band. Geoff Tate's vocals are superb and the backup vocals are just as strong....talent wise, no one has anything on this band!!

You were meant to find this band, Queensryche still moves me after all these years. Thanks for reviewing this great song off an EPIC album!

You should have seen them live back in the day! Holy Crap, they were so perfect vocally and technically

I got to see them 3 times live in their hay day and met Geoff after the Operation Mindcrime show. He was smoking and had a cold and STILL put on a flawless performance!

Happy to see you reacting to this fantastic band, i saw them live in early -90s and also the singer Geoff Tate just last year, still got a fantastic voice... Try Take hold of the flame, the live version.. or the classic Silent lucidity...

Looks, brains, and great taste in music. I enjoy watching your reaction to bands I've listened to for years. Tool and Queensryche being 2 of them. I like that you heard the bass, so many people don't hear it for some reason. Take hold of the flame, live by queensryche will blow your mind.

Geoff Tate's powerful vocals go right up there with Bruce Dickenson. This guy has a tremendous vocal range. I had this tape in the day and loved it.

I must agree but you left out one more master of vocals. Ronny James Dio

ACK! You need to hear the whole album in its entirety. You shouldn't listen to a song on its own, else You'll ruin the experience for yourself. you'll thank us later.

One of the best and brilliantly put together concept albums out there! Geoff Tate is one of the greatest vocals to ever exist! He's like the Steve Perry of Metal!:)

First time I ever heard them is when I saw them open for Metallica on the Justice tour. This was the album they were on tour for and they sound just as great live.
