Me too, August 2024 now. I bought Empire in August 1991 - 35 years ago this exact month. It was never really played on Australian radio (and was barely a blip on the charts here). I had birthday cash to spend, and got the train into Sydney to go to Utopia records with my best mate. I heard “Jet City Woman” playing as soon as I walked in. I asked what it was, and they showed me the album. I walked out that day with 3 CDs: Empire, Metallica black, and VH unlawful carnal knowledge. 3 brilliant albums that saw me through to the end of my teenage years, and still sound great 35 years later.

I've listened to hard rock my whole life (26 years). Not once have I heard these guys on any FM rock station. Nobody ever mentioned them, never heard of them until I bought a newer truck 2 years ago and got 3 months of free satellite radio. It really is a shame how many great bands never got any air time.

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.
@johnbraucher14992 жыл бұрын
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.

"On Feb. 19, 1983, three men stormed into the underground gambling club, where they hogtied and robbed 14 people. To cover their tracks, they methodically shot all 14. Only one person survived in what became known as the "Chinatown Massacre," the worst mass murder in Seattle's history.' Queensryche has always been very topical in their music. That was such a tragic day, and yet, they chose to share the story, with dramatic license, about the up-tick of crime.. Always will be one of my favorite bands of all time!

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.

OMG! I love this song, the energy, the rifs, the voice. Everything. Queensryche is simply perfect. So proud to have found their music without any recommendation. Geoff's voice and passion when singing in "We're stars" video clip, awakened my curiosity, I went and searched for him and the band and that was it, I just felt in love with them 😍❤️

There are 5 bands that I can play on replay for hours upon hours and never get bored. Dokken, Warrant, Guns N' Roses, Van Halen (Hagar & Roth), and Queensryche! Thank you to my dad for raising me on such awesome music! 23, but I feel like a 40 year old man
@beachgirl45838 жыл бұрын
+Snak Gaming (SnakTV) Your dad sounds cool. Has he introduced you to Alice in Chains? If you like Dokken & Warrant, you might like early Great White, and Def Leppard's early albums (On Through The Night rocks!). Ryche is the best. I've seen them at least 5 times, but only once since DeGarmo left the band. The Mindcrime album is a classic.

Or should I say that their commentary has proven to be false that none of the doomsday scenarios liberals predicted in the 80's came to be. Don't get me wrong, I love Queensryche, and I even love this song. But you can't change certain human natures. All their religious commentary in the Operation: Mindcrime era looks a bit silly today. Religious leaders have almost no impact on politics today unlike the 1980's. But I can see how it looked scary in the 80's. Even I got annoyed that religious leaders were trying to dictate what I could see on TV. But the conservative movement is dead (as seen with the recent Supreme Court decisions).
