You know it!

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

@@haroldkline4898 Rock on HaroldKline!!

U got it

Yes yes yes

Right

Definitely

Yeah brother, they a ready knew???

ain't this the truth n then some

Imperial Amerikkka since 1945

Give me a hell yeah to the mafias to run the shows and the murderings and the price of just living. While they print money for themselves selves

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

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.

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.

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!!

@@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 🎼🙌✨️

Queensrÿche is prog METAL

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!😅😅

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.

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.

Fuck yeah grandpa

Hope you're still listening brother

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....

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

Me too...in Austin...front row!!!!

Sitting in the woods camping rocking out!

May 2024 ✅️

Needs a decent hifi setup to do it justice

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

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.

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

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?

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.

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

Yes but so is Joe Elliott of Def

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

Never. I say we make way for another species to rise to sentience. I'm hoping the cuttlefish make it, incredible things.

soon

Hay Stack .

only when we rise up as a group and end all the rich/evil fuckers, taking the piles of wealth they have stolen from the rest of us and using it to advance humanity(just think we could have all new roads and bridges nationwide in under 5 years which would also employ nearly everyone out of work or not working enough hours to survive and at a decent wage as well) we could actually cure diseases instead of just "treating them" if all big pharma was owned by the citizens of the USA(yep all those ceos and boards need to be found hanging from lightpoles in every town in America)...........imagine the space exploration we could do if we refunded NASA(how did that one thing not cause instant riots in the streets??? just goes to show that there are more idiots than smart people) with a few percentage points worth of the money we throw away on weapons/wars we should never have gotten into...... we could instead.......bring home all of our soldiers and have them help rebuild Puerto Rico, Texas, Florida and the rest of our falling apart country................let the arabs eat oil.....ditto russia...............just stop sending money/medical supplies/food to those places and let mother nature have her way with them(last i knew you can't eat sand or oil so...............yeah).

Goes also with Sound of Silence... and a LOT of shit from back in the 60's as well...

Still in 2023...

Wo Geoff which is their biggest mistake

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

This is so true.

Nice! Are you Broadcasting now?

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

Sniff,...gone 😞

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.

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

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.

What about dio

So

Have you tried VoIC? /watch?v=SrVmSJ5CHc4

Wow I was Rush, Floyd and Queensryche

Yup

Giancarlo Valdez whats wrong with the kids today :P

EXACTLY!!! LOL they should play this at every school dance.

yyrgx hernandez Today?!, This was made in the 90's! Kids are even worse today! That would be 2015! Had some middle school boy flip me off for reason as I passed a school zone; I stopped and he pulled a knife on me....If I were to do anything, the police would have arrested me, not him.

yyrgx hernandez MTV became more about the produced product than about the Music. Now they don't even bother with the music anymore. They all sold out man.

Giancarlo Valdez You're such a naive person, in the past there were bad songs, today too, there is no such thing as a bad generation music, the style changes and some are just used to their type of music

+TheMeJustMe75 It's like comparing Rush to Helix.

Jason Hogan Exactly!

Poor no education street honor

+TheMeJustMe75 True. In NO way could these guys be called thrash metal.

+Dave Newman Complex lyrics pertaining to society's paradigm shift with a progressive, concept metal feel. Only Dream Theater could come close.

it's a scream of protest about the statistics cited

I remember requesting this on the radio. I just listened to it 8 times in a row!

I know how you feel man.

I often wonder if today’s culture would protest at the lyrics of this song if it were released today.

Yeah. Tell me about it guys.

I dunno Rihanna's "hey werr werr werr werr wuh wuh wuh werr werr werr" speaks to me too. Lol!

Well said!

+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.

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!

They probably don't ;P

Probably Justin Bieber fans

theplayboymaster you okay?

@theplayboymaster Show us on the doll where they touched you...

whatever, why take it so personal?

Starr Napolitano one time in San Antonio TX he unplugged the microphone in the majestic theatre and sat on the edge of stage and sung ; his voice was absolutely incredible and needed no microphone ...

Kevin Gordon... I'm so jealous! I would've loved to see them live... unfortunately, I was a lil too young to go to concerts... I mean I was 14 or so back then and idk bout other ppls parents but mine were a lot different then parents are today... well my dad was.... my mom actually took me to my first concert when I was 10...warrant and motley crue... Nassau Coliseum... Dr. Feelgood tour... 😀😍

#metoo

@@kevingordon7898 I would have loved to hear that. That must have been awesome.

They are awesome.

Goddamn, and no shit. I do NOT get the shit kids are into, nowadays, but classics like this, Faith No More, Twisted Sister, Ratt... *sighs* Good times.

I KNOW I'm cynical I’m 17 and listen to real music.

I KNOW I'm cynical I’m 13 and I listen to this

Rogue Lounge. true. The 80s rule.

I hate to burst your "music was real" bubble, but there were a lot of effects and studio tricks used on this song. But, I get what you're saying...it IS more real than most rock today.

wait they from seattle?

hinder nightmare hinder 9 Uno 9 no

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).

I guess we'll ignore Donald Trump.

So true it's so sad that we haven't progressed!!!

I hate it when jabronis inject their retarded political ideology into their work. Instead of grooving to their music I wonder if they have two brain cells to grind together Fuck criminals

Um this isn’t a mix.

hell yeah brother

Damn Strait!!!

I can relate

Got an AK-47 for his best friend. Business, the American way.

This song is just as badass as it was in 1990 I had the album it rocked
