You know it!

May 2024.........Building my Empire!!

@@haroldkline4898 Rock on HaroldKline!!

U got it

Yes yes yes

Yeah but Glam Rock still had a lot of great songs. Honestly don't get why that genre of music got hated on so much. I've listened to a few of Ratt's songs and they are very good.

@@raijinthemaster88 that's true. But for every song like Every Rose Has Its Thorn there are a hundred Unskinny Bops.

​@@raijinthemaster88 It was hated for whatvit was ... gummed up hair sprayed nonsense that people mistook for lfe anthems . Itvreally isn't that difficult 🤦🏻‍♂️

You are so correct, I love that someone besides me thinks that way!

I'm sure there's more but you said it man...Thanks for that 🎼🙌✨️

Sitting in the woods camping rocking out!

2024. 🤘

Em 2024 agora em maio.

this was in regular rotation as well back in the day.

Sniff,...gone 😞

Yes.seen them in 87..like a pink floyd album

I know I wasn't at first but as time went by I was like these guys are killer!

My cousin that lived in Louisville at the time introduced me to QUEENSRYCHE in 1983...'Queen of the Reich"..."Lady Wore Black" etc...I was blown away...then 'The Warning' the next year...w/Take Hold of the Flame etc...loved em every since...

just because we are old now does not mean we were always old we were ready, we thought they rocked and we found them relevant at the time but glad the music still speaks to the youth

I know that I wasn't ready for them. But I thank God for them.

literally, eddie is the only bassist i’ve seen play like that and i’m always awed

James Jimbo Barton is to thank for the bass mix too

I add "rage for order " too, the three albums , each one in its way, are unbeatable.

Spector tone

Freaking love Queensryc, took 20 minutes to fall in love then got to see them at "RedRocks" Best day ever!😅😅

I actually got to meet him once before he played the whole operation mind crime set very very good live not to mention Geoff is humble and a a very kind man he even set aside his pre show meal to take a pic with out me even asking I just wanted an autograph ended getting a signature stage prop good convo and a pic to top it off oh and dont forget they kick ass lol

@@darinhilbern3444 that's fu**in' awesome bro ...good for you

That's why we're here dude. ✌

:-)

They fact people listen to trash like rap and shit five finger death punch have no clue. Sad it didn't last long.

David turbo too much hype leading to a hype ego. Should have kept his deal with Lucifer!

Underrated no! Just uncommercialized! They packed stadiums around the world, but never sold out to corporate music. So they've said themselves.

So true. I wore out my the Empire CD

underrated??? They were HUUGE in te late 80's early 90's.

Got to see them for this album loved it

Fuck yeah grandpa

Hope you're still listening brother

hi I'm 10 and been listening to this since the womb and... tiktok kids and there desire for likes

GRANDEEEE!!!

Him and Dio !

Very underrated vocalist.

He's kinda got a slight Rob Halford thing going on in my mind

Mike Patton ftw.

@@tonesdad0408 Geoff, Rob, And Bruce.

Saw them in Saginaw, same.

Geoff still doing it solo and nailing it

Rocklahoma here hellofa show

You are English I got that but you are right let me take you a bit further

Yes but so is Joe Elliott of Def

Queensryche, didn't get any help from UK radio or TV but were huge in the States and Canada in 1991 which is where I bought the Empire CD (on my honeymoon). I saw Geoff a week ago (May 2022) in a club venue in Newcastle where he did the entire rage to order album and Empire album in two sets. He was amazeballs vocally, and the band were cracking (i.e. very good) too. I've now just seen Whitesnake and Europe and neither Coverdale nor Tempest came even close to their younger vocal performances unlike Geoff. Quite how he sang two full sets then ended on a song with the high notes of Queen of the Ryche I don't know. He sung even better than when I saw QR supporting Dio in the mid '80s. I know he and the rest of the guys had a big falling out with court cases etc, but a Queensryche reunion would be made so much better as a result.

By far not the only band either. For example they never play any of disturbed songs except for those two they're most known for since 2001. Stupify and down with the sickness. I decided one day, almost twenty years late, to check out their entire PLAYLIST, at the time all 113 songs including their off songs, odd balls and rare songs. Every SINGLE ONE of them are at LEAST good, if not AMAZING. I can't believe they only play their mainstream ones. They have some EXCELLENT MATERIAL all through their career. It's absolute shame they didn't get more exposure for their other songs through their career.

I don't know what stations you were listening to, but I remember you couldn't go 15 mins. without hearing Silent Lucidity. I love older era Queensryche but I can't listen to that track to this day. Anything else while DeGarmo was still with them is gold, though. Tate's voice back then was supernatural.

silent lucidity and jet city woman were played daily throughout the post release of the album

@@johnbraucher1499 I concur with this. My all time favorite band. Saw them in may in Virginia Beach. They killed it!!

Still in 2023...

Wo Geoff which is their biggest mistake

April 2024, always since the 80's, I'm 48

But remember Michael Wilton rocked the solo on Empire

Wilton wrote the song with Tate on this one.

When it comes to history, Queensryce is WAY behind Dream Theater.

As I say ... the world was not ready for Queensryche ...ahead of their time ....

​@@jeremiahnations8808 total apples and oranges bub.

I agree. I love it every time I hear Queensryche on the radio.

and what is really cool is that I thrash those 2 guitars pretty well.

Yeah this was back when Ozzy was Coming Home and Poison was Riding the Wind! Bahahaha!

The first " Seattle Sound "...

Yeah... the crime is upticking big time now. Crime unfortunately is the domain of the less intelligent and less educated but instead of making sure our children learn why crime is bad we worry about money constantly. We need to start finding out what our children are good at at a young age and then hone those skills so they will be able to make a living not teach a bunch of random crap they'll never use. I never found out what I would of been good aside from video games because nobody around me cared to find out what any of us were good at.

I was having dinner just a block away, a few hours before in Chinatown, when this happened.

The 80’s was the best decade ever!!! I grew up in south baltimore-locust point. I grew up with the best friends, in the best neighborhood. I would sell my soul if I could go back and do it again, exactly the same-no changes.

Similar situation! 36 now, dude gave me a cassette in my 1982 Chrysler labaron I paid 300 bucks for in about '07, had silent lucidity. Best fucking melodic I ever heard. Been playing guitar ever since. Talk about chance of fate!

wait they from seattle?

Needs a decent hifi setup to do it justice

Fro jeffroe. Been rocking this album for years ..never got the props it deserved

You were raised right

And will continue to happen due to human nature. We can only try to do better while realizing our limitations.

I can't stop hearing this song these past few months. So true

Not sure where yall are coming from, but they're arguing for MORE law enforcement.

It's because it's about inherent human nature. Some things never change, but stay relevant forever.

@menckencynic Boo. This should be a reputation of Qanon.

@menckencynic Ask yourself that question but if you want to ask me this question, then here’s your translation; Vote Trump Out 2020.

Jeff Morgan rip

Jeff Morgan Sorry for you're loss.

sry hear bout mom bro

May she rest in peace and God bless your family mate, sounds like an awesome mom.

May her soul RIP, she had some amazing taste in music bro.

i did my time in Desert Storm as well in the Navy onboard the U.S.S. Shasta AE-33. thanks for your service, bud.

I live right next to myrtle creek in Roseburg!

I have a family member that fought in Desert Storm. He still is in the service. I salute all military & former military. I don't care if it was for the minimum time or longer. All deserve more respect then given.

CD's were invented in 1979 what are you talking about

@@mightybmx2900 I had EMPIRE on CD in 91.

Yup me and all my subscribers feel free to join😎

I am.

Alpha Protagonist This is the exact same thing with me. The only difference is that I’m always listening to all this that you mentioned on my own no matter what the music streaming platform is.

While we still can....

We need him and Geoff Tate back now!

@@kovalfetterer8691 Geoff is washed up in ego.. no thanks. The new Ryche is back to writing and playing harder stuff again. thank goodness. Degarmo yes, he and Wilton worked great together, but Degarmo won't come back. But Wilton is a great songwriter and guitarist as well

What do you mean washed up?

@@kovalfetterer8691He suffers from Axl -itis. His voice isn't near what it once was, and look at the albums in the 2000's they did. horrible albums and all under Geoff and his wifes control. The band no longer had a say in anything really.

Is his voice still washed up or is it getting a little better?

Tate's up there, but he's no Dio (RIP). I've seen them both in person. Both put on an incredible show.

it's a scream of protest about the statistics cited

I listened to it 8 times in a row just now lol.
