Jeff Butner it was the Ultimate Sin tour and it was Rage for border for Queensryche! I saw them in Greensboro NC and by pure coincidence got to meet both bands minus Chris DeGarmo at the Sheraton hotel. And every one except Phil Sousa from Ozzy treated me like we had known each other forever. Randy Castillo took me and my friends to his room where we hung out all night and gave us back stage passes and tickets to the next night in Fayetteville NC which of course I went and watched from the side of the stage! Changed my life! I was a Jake E Lee fanatic at the time as I'm a guitar player but I'd known Queensryche and was also blown away at the live performances!

Shortly after this ep came out, I won a copy of this and tix to the Twisted Sister/Queensryche show. It was in a small hall, maybe 250 people. It was the TS tour for the album You Can't Stop Rock and Roll. QR signed autographs that day, Geoff wasn't speaking as he was sick with throat issue. Anyways, they BLEW away TS. I only knew Queen of the Ryche prior to the show. But, when he started whistling the beginning of Lady Wore Black and then let loose the song on us was mind blowing. I, and the crowd, was stunned. So so stunned. So so good.

June 1983, Alameda California, I was 16 years old, and I was looking for new music on the radio. I had my cassette deck on rec+pause, and when a song would start I'd unpause it and if it sounded good I'd keep recording, but if I didn't like it I'd stop, and reset it. That's how I heard Queen of the Reich for the first time. I didn't know the name of the song or the band, but I rocked that shit all summer long, and eventually I became a huge Queensryche fan.

Nobody knows who she is and no one has ever seen her. Listen to the lyrics. Griff is the only one that knows who she is. He saw her in his recollected vision. A vision that only you could see...only if it has been granted to you.

I love you, Queensryche. And I love you, Geoff Tate. Heavy metal has not known a finer vocalist. And I've heard most of them but through all of the undeniable talent this fast, aggressive yet utterly human music has known, your light shines the brightest. Please know that you made a dent in people's lives.

Really good production on a demo/EP!! The first band that I was ever in, in 1986, used to play The Lady Wore Black. Good times!

@Eugene Blyther That same year . I spent 5 bucks at a club in Baltimore .. Queensryche was going to play .. I got a great seat overlooking the band .. During the lead of "take Hold of The Flame " Geoff climbed the PA system and took my hand and stayed with me till the lead was over .. I remember Chris and Micheal looking at me and Geoff .. " Don't knock our singer off !! " WE need him !!

The power of the great music the original band put out and one of the greatest voices in Metal history. I still hope Geoff will reconcile and they bring it back this hard!

I heard Queen of The Reich for the first time and immediately went to Tower Records to buy the album. Been a fan from day one. I'm old now and the pain never goes away but hearing these tunes again helps me feel young.

I saw this band In san antonio when this album broke......didn't see them since. Knew they were going to go steller. Flash forward 40 years. My daughter went to see Jeff Tate's when he did his acoustic show in san antonio and she met Jeff and he sent me a happy birthday video. I saw him 2 weeks later in Arizona and he remembered. Class act
