@@kevinfranklin9799 And he is also the main reason why Queensryche is not around anymore. Its sad that bands go through this...But you are not wrong. He was a very underrated singer IMO
Been listening to Queensryche since the Warning and when Empire came out i was totally turned off by it. I saw them live as the opening act for Metallica in 1988 in Denver, Colorado, where they did the entire Operation Mindcrime album and a few of my favorites from Rage for Order. They also did Queen of the Ryche. Fantastic show. Especially for an opening act.
Believe it or not, this is the beginning of Geoff Tate's fall as a singer. First three albums his range and power were nearly unmatched. It's a big ask, but I beg you. Even if it isn't a reaction, and you just do it for yourself, please listen to their album Operation: Mindcrime start to finish. The album is an absolute masterpiece and no single song does it justice (don't listen to everyone telling you to listen to Eyes of a Stranger. The song is meaningless without context) I promise you won't regret it. Indeed it may be the best 45 minutes you'll ever spend musically.
So very true. Every time I get a new car, can I have a slight problem crashing cars, Silent Lucidity is the first song I play on the radio. The same when I moved into a new place, and I move a lot, Silent Lucidity is the first song I play. Many many years ago when I played fantasy baseball Queen'srychewhat's the name of my team
It's a concept album... meaning the album is a story, with each song being a different chapter. It only makes sense I f you listen to all of the songs in order...😉👍
So glad to say that over the years I had many chances to hang out with Geoff Tate. The way he is portrayed by fans and the media is not accurate, he is one of the nicest guys you could ever meet. Very down to earth and a kind man
This song is my all time favourite song. It was also one of my fathers. “I will be smiling next to you, in silent lucidity”. My father passed away 5 and a half years ago. This song is one of the things that connects me with him again. Every time I listen to it, I can hear him singing it. My interpretation of the song is that sleep is the one place where you can connect with your late loved ones. And that they will always protect you.
Wow, Queensryche!! So this is a great song, but it's basically the chillest song in their discography because this album (Empire) was their most polished and radio-ready. If you want to hear what heavy Queensryche sounds like, listen to "Warning", "The Lady Wore Black," "Queen or the Ryche," or my personal favorite, "NM156." That's the stuff they built their following on. Oh, and probably the Operation Mindcrime album in its entirety (don't just listen to one song, you gotta do the whole album). P.S. This song is about astral projection.
Yesssss, Queensrÿche, one of my all time favorite bands, been a huge fan of them since the 80’s, amazing band, great reaction Alex, I love this song so much, more Queensrÿche please... 🙏🏼
TBH I haven't been into your alphabet thing, but this is one of the greatest songs in the world and I had to hear what you had to say. This song speaks so loudly to me. 25 years later it brings tears to my eyes from its beauty and its remembered beauty in its time. Its time? Any time is good for Silent Lucidity.
Really pumped you liked it. My mom would sing this to me when I was a child, and one of the happiest moments of my life was dancing with her to this at my wedding a few months ago. Never seen a bigger smile on her face!
I was a guitarist for 9 years before switching to bass 14 years ago. I haven't owned a guitar in years, but whenever I do pick one up, this is one of first ones I start playing. I'm thankful I never forgot how to play it.
It's a beautiful song but an odd one to put in the metal category. It went to #2 on the billboard chart though, it was a pretty big song back then. If you ever do a full album review you should do Operation Mindcrime by them. It's a masterpiece.
Ok, finally a thread of smart Queensryche fans, Take hold of the flame is the song that grabs you by the balls. Although Warning, Before the Storm, and En Force are also great songs.
@@MrRudeboy212 Thanks for the compliment on my choice of suggestion. All of their albums up to Empire were unique from each other and great in their own way. All had great songs. Only thing wrong with them I found was that I saw Empire tour when they did Operation Mindcrime in it's entirety and it was so overproduced and sequenced, it had no live feel to it. I was disappointed. I'm a musician and live the raw feel of live rock that you can hear seeing Guns n roses, Iron Maiden, Megadeth, Alice or Judas Priest back then or LA Guns or something similar. But still a big fan and appreciate what they did musically. The whole album with the songs you mentioned is so different within just a few tracks. An awesome display of their versatility from the start.
Loads of thanks for posting this, Alex. This song is what I sing and share for my babies when they cross over The Rainbow Bridge. 08.02.19 is the 19th birthday of my Toy Poodle Oscar, who passed away 04.10.16 due to fits. He let me rescue him aged 8 weeks and he slept with me every night. I miss him sooo much. [el'sda2].
PLEASE do an entire album reaction of "Operation Mindcrime"- the most epic concept album EVER CREATED, bro! PLEASE trust me...you will not be disappointed!!
That double neck guitar has one with 12 strings and the other one is 6 strings. Some are 6 string and a 4 string bass neck. Double neck basses, double 6's with different pickup configurations and string types for vastly different sounds making it a very unusual and unique instrument. Does that make sense?
Back in the beginning of the 70s, I was a teenager and that kind of dream happened to me. I had awoken from a dream in which my Mom had died. It felt so damn real. I was actually sweating and I became quite anxious as I got up and out of bed. I headed downstairs to see if my Dad was around. Alas, there at the kitchen table sat my Mom. I can't begin to explain the kind of relief that came over me. I almost dropped to my knees as my eyes took in what I thought had been taken away from me. I never ever told my Mom what I had dreamed because I didn't want to create a jinx of any kind, one that would have fulfilled my dream into reality. Until this day, I can still remember the dream and how it made me feel at that time and it is scary to say the least, and I am now 68 years old. This song gives me the chills but I love it.

Sang this to both of my kids when they were babies. Did it every night with both of them until I couldn't hold them anymore to rock them to sleep. Just a beautiful song. Queensryche has an amazing catalog to dive into, worth every minute.

I was in high school when this album came out. First time I heard it was waiting for a Heart concert to start at the Forum in LA. Blew me away. Thanks for playing this song, particularly.
@@giorgosbenis its prog rock, and any knowledgeable musician will tell you the same.. bands like dream theater, karnivool, porcupine tree and tool, all these are prog rock bands and that is what defines them from being anything else. when you write lengthy compositions with alternating time signatures and polyrhythms constantly progressing the music to the next stage. that my friend is called progressive. and the style of riffs they use are based on the fundamentals of rock. unless you are using metal riffs then its called prog metal. Periphery are a prog metal band i dont really know to any others.
I had a friend who was into "trance" music. She loved this (the ONLY Queensryche song she liked).. She passed away. This song was played at her funeral.
WOW 😮✌️Thx so much for reacting to the official video to this amazing 😉 beautiful classic track!! His voice is 💯 so damn good!! Check out #Empire by Queensryche ✌️😎
double neck guitar question solved - One neck has 12 strings for a more full sound when playing chords. So basically each finger is fretting 2 strings at a time
When my kids were 2 and 3 years old, I taught myself the picking pattern on guitar and played to to them, each night, for about three years, straight, at bedtime. So, I sang and played it, roughly, a thousand times. Upon request, like for weeks, my daughter refused to sleep until I played, "Hushnowdon'tyoucry".
you SERIOUSLY need to listen to the entire Operation Mindcrime album, it is a concept album that tells a story, the hints/clues are in both the lyrics, and in the sound bites between songs Dual necked guitar, can have two different tunings for playing different parts of the song.
Silent Lucidity" was written about a person having a lucid dream. ... DeGarmo got the idea from a book called "Creative Dreaming". "The song is about the ability to realize that you're dreaming, recognize it, and actually participate in the dream, shape it, change it," the guitarist said in a 1990 interview.
Conventionally, the top neck has 12 strings, and the bottom neck has 6 strings, the purpose is basically sound range generally used acoustically for crisp harmonic sound.
Silent Lucidity is my favorite song by Queensyche. They played it when I went to see them in concert. It was the first concert I attended...I was in highschool. I read he wrote that song for his kids. So beautiful 💙 😍 Another fave is The lady wore black and basically the whole Empire album
This song gave me out of body experiences for a couple years. No other song has affected me like this one. I listened to it a few times a day and had these out of body experiences daily. I literally floated out of my body every morning looked out my front window floated back to my bedroom laid back down into my body then my alarm clock would then wake me. it was so strange. Years later i figured out it was this song that did this to me.
@@MaddDogg316 I will agree that RED doesn't really belong on this series, yes, but I do want him to react to them at some point. I'm just throwing out their name every chance I get.
I knew it was gonna be Queensrÿche. Lol! For 'R', go with Revocation. To give you some idea of their sound and awesomeness, basically, if The Black Dahlia Murder and Exodus had a baby, it would be Revocation. Some good songs from them (although, you can hardly go wrong with any of them, if we're being honest here) are: *Unattained* *Tail from the Crypt* *Pestilence Reigns* *Cretin* *Scattering the Flock* *A Debt Owed to the Grave* *Deathless* *Crumbling Imperium* *Of Unworldy Origin* *That Which Consumes All Things*
Geoff Tate, wrote this song for one of his daughters, when he heard she would have nightmare while he was away touring. It's his lullaby for his daughter.
Purpose of a dual neck guitar is to have access to different sets of strings. If you look at the number of tuning pegs at the headstocks you'll see the lower neck has 6 strings and the upper neck has 12 strings. I guess on this song he plays the 12-string for rhythm and the 6-string for lead.
Double Neck Guitars: Top neck is a 12-String. Bottom is a 6-String. There are also doubles that have a Baritone neck on top and Standard neck on bottom. There are other configurations out there I'm sure. But the one DeGarmo is using in this video is a 12 on top, 6 on bottom.
Honestly even tho Whitechapel has great songs all through their discography, Bring Me Home is the song for Alex. He didn’t like Suicide Silence because of how abrasive and aggressive it was. He’ll like the melodic sound more.
Listening to silence lucidity for your first Queensrÿche experience is like listening to the sound of silence for your first disturbed experience.😂😂😂😂😂😂
Double neck guitar is usually a 12 string and a 6 string. It makes it easier to switch between them when 1 guitarist is playing two parts in the song...
Hush now, don't you cry Wipe away the teardrop from your eye You're lying safe in bed It was all a bad dream Spinning in your head Your mind tricked you to feel the pain Of someone close to you leaving the game of life So here it is, another chance Wide awake you face the day Your dream is over or has it just begun? There's a place I like to hide A doorway that I run through in the night Relax child, you were there But only didn't realize it and you were scared It's a place where you will learn To face your fears, retrace the years And ride the whims of your mind Commanding in another world Suddenly you hear and see This magic new dimension I will be watching over you I am gonna help you see it through I will protect you in the night I am smiling next to you In silent lucidity If you open your mind for me You won't rely on open eyes to see The walls you built within Come tumbling down And a new world will begin Living twice at once you learn You're safe from the pain in the dream domain A soul set free to fly A round trip journey in your head Master of illusion, can you realize Your dream's alive, you can be the guide but I will be watching over you I am gonna help to see it through I will protect you in the night I am smiling next to you
I'm thinking about making a thousand fake accounts and upvoting this so that he finally does it. Been writing this in the comments since he f****ng started!
As I understand it the purpose of a double-neck guitar is for when the guitarist wants to or needs to switch from a 6-string to a 12-string guitar very quickly and I just don't want to have to deal with taking off on guitar putting on the other. As I said earlier the further back you go in there, catalog the closer they get to their heavy metal roots
YES! YES! YES! I agree! Excellent choice!!! For T I was thinking of TYPE O NEGATIVE & "Everything Dies"! I know he's reacted to one of their songs, but that is my favourite! And UNLEASH THE ARCHERS is perfection! Rock on! 🤘🔥💨
one of my all-time favorites from my hometown band with their old singer but love the new lead singer who sounds amazing saw them in concert a few years ago and they are awesome live
Amity Affliction - Deaths Hand Fit for a king - Engraved Fit for a king - Backbreaker (be careful, you may end up with head trauma after listening to this) Nubia - Nautilus Northlane - Quantum Flux I see stars - Murder Mitten I see stars - Calm snow
I remember rocking my infant son to sleep to this song (he is 25 now) and Patience by Guns and Roses. Hearing this again brings back some good memories.
The double neck guitar usually has a six string and a twelve string, and you can tune them differently, to keep from having to switch guitars during a song/show/performance. And btw Geoff is classically trained! He has a great range and tone.
One of my favorite songs to relax with. Loved this song when I was younger. Incredible song! Goosebumps as soon as the song started, man miss the 80s lol

Most double-necked guitars have a 6-string and a 12-string neck, so the guitarist can switch from one to the other during the middle of a song.
Or a baritone, different tuning, or even a bass as well
Acoustic and electric guitar
In this case, it just looks like 6/12 string.
Listen to their more up beat stuff. Eyes of a stranger, I don’t believe in love, etc

Double necked guitars typically combine both 6 string and 12 string instruments into one. His is a 12 string on top with the 6 string on the bottom.
Silent Lucidity" was written about a person having a lucid dream. ... DeGarmo got the idea from a book called "Creative Dreaming". "The song is about the ability to realize that you're dreaming, recognize it, and actually participate in the dream, shape it, change it," the guitarist said in a 1990 interview.
(R)ivers of Nihil- Where owls know my name
R is for Ra- Do you call my name?
Wow, haven't heard that one hit wonder in a long time
Ra is one of my favorite bands. Terribly underrated. Their newer stuff is great also.
@@deadbunnyking check out their album critical mass. I think it came out 2016. Some great music on here.
Yes!
C is for Crazy Bread.
Conventionally, the top neck has 12 strings, and the bottom neck has 6 strings, the purpose is basically sound range generally used acoustically for crisp harmonic sound.
Silent Lucidity is my favorite song by Queensyche. They played it when I went to see them in concert. It was the first concert I attended...I was in highschool.
I read he wrote that song for his kids. So beautiful 💙
😍 Another fave is The lady wore black and basically the whole Empire album
Rainbow - Gates of Babylon
[V] Virvum - Illuminance. You won't regret it
This song gave me out of body experiences for a couple years. No other song has affected me like this one. I listened to it a few times a day and had these out of body experiences daily. I literally floated out of my body every morning looked out my front window floated back to my bedroom laid back down into my body then my alarm clock would then wake me. it was so strange. Years later i figured out it was this song that did this to me.
We played this at my daughters funeral as we walked her casket to the hearse for her last ride. She was 16.
R needs to be RED- Darkest Part, Death of Me, or Already Over
Not metal enough to be part of this series, but great band tho
I agree with Hugo, really love the band but more hard rock/alt metal.
They're still more metal than some other bands he's reacted to
@@panzerpriest9220, and those were mistakes as well. We are cleaning this list up.
@@MaddDogg316 I will agree that RED doesn't really belong on this series, yes, but I do want him to react to them at some point. I'm just throwing out their name every chance I get.
I knew it was gonna be Queensrÿche. Lol!
For 'R', go with Revocation. To give you some idea of their sound and awesomeness, basically, if The Black Dahlia Murder and Exodus had a baby, it would be Revocation. Some good songs from them (although, you can hardly go wrong with any of them, if we're being honest here) are:
*Unattained*
*Tail from the Crypt*
*Pestilence Reigns*
*Cretin*
*Scattering the Flock*
*A Debt Owed to the Grave*
*Deathless*
*Crumbling Imperium*
*Of Unworldy Origin*
*That Which Consumes All Things*
Empire, another rainy night , jet city woman, hold on to the flame, i am i. All great songs. One of my favorite bands!
Geoff Tate, wrote this song for one of his daughters, when he heard she would have nightmare while he was away touring. It's his lullaby for his daughter.
Rivers Of Nihil - Where Owls Know My Name
R for Revocation - The Grip Tightens
Purpose of a dual neck guitar is to have access to different sets of strings. If you look at the number of tuning pegs at the headstocks you'll see the lower neck has 6 strings and the upper neck has 12 strings. I guess on this song he plays the 12-string for rhythm and the 6-string for lead.
Double Neck Guitars: Top neck is a 12-String. Bottom is a 6-String. There are also doubles that have a Baritone neck on top and Standard neck on bottom. There are other configurations out there I'm sure. But the one DeGarmo is using in this video is a 12 on top, 6 on bottom.
R = Rammstein - Mein Teil
S = Sepultura maybe 🤔
T = Testament - Souls Of Black / The Legacy /Face In The Sky !!!
I just commented for TESTAMENT 🔥🔥🔥
Testament \m/ but Soilwork or Sylosis for S. I heard Rammstein blocks everything so that might not work
Yes Testament!! Practice What You Preach or Low \m/
Sabaton for S he's already done Sepultura
seacactus 13 yes he has but that hasn’t stopped him with previous letters. Need to do some older bands, Suicidal Tendencies or Sacred Reich for S even
WHITECHAPEL FOR W!!! 😀 the saw is the LAAAAWWWW!!
Black bear would be better
KingdomCum not for a new listener. Solid song tho!
Honestly even tho Whitechapel has great songs all through their discography, Bring Me Home is the song for Alex. He didn’t like Suicide Silence because of how abrasive and aggressive it was. He’ll like the melodic sound more.
Father of lies or this is exile = win
He never do Whitechapel:( Our Endless War!!!!
Understand when you listen to a queensryche album they have a tendency to do concept albums that tell a story front to back
The entire album: Empire that Silent Lucidity is from is a masterpiece. No bad songs. They took prog rock to another level.
We're getting close to...S for...SYMPHONY X - THE ODYSSEY
S - Sabaton, Carolus Rex
Oh hell yes
Very good choice
Or Gott mit uns.. Swedish version..
Would love to see Alex deal more with European/Scandinavian language...
@@SortenRavn Yeah I'd really like that too! All Sabaton's Swedish songs are good..
@@Ems-ms3oj most likely because they're Swedes?
🤔
(Often a song becomes better when you sing in your native tongue.. )
Listening to silence lucidity for your first Queensrÿche experience is like listening to the sound of silence for your first disturbed experience.😂😂😂😂😂😂
Double neck guitar is usually a 12 string and a 6 string. It makes it easier to switch between them when 1 guitarist is playing two parts in the song...
Rotting Christ - Non Serviam. Greetings from Greece. In my opinion their best song so far. Also it's their signature one
Rise of the nortstar- this is cross over for the letter R plz
Hush now, don't you cry
Wipe away the teardrop from your eye
You're lying safe in bed
It was all a bad dream
Spinning in your head
Your mind tricked you to feel the pain
Of someone close to you leaving the game of life
So here it is, another chance
Wide awake you face the day
Your dream is over or has it just begun?
There's a place I like to hide
A doorway that I run through in the night
Relax child, you were there
But only didn't realize it and you were scared
It's a place where you will learn
To face your fears, retrace the years
And ride the whims of your mind
Commanding in another world
Suddenly you hear and see
This magic new dimension
I will be watching over you
I am gonna help you see it through
I will protect you in the night
I am smiling next to you
In silent lucidity
If you open your mind for me
You won't rely on open eyes to see
The walls you built within
Come tumbling down
And a new world will begin
Living twice at once you learn
You're safe from the pain in the dream domain
A soul set free to fly
A round trip journey in your head
Master of illusion, can you realize
Your dream's alive, you can be the guide but
I will be watching over you
I am gonna help to see it through
I will protect you in the night
I am smiling next to you
Had me in and out of consciousness. So calm and beautiful. Love it!!!!
"S" Sylosis: Teras. Just trust me!
I'm thinking about making a thousand fake accounts and upvoting this so that he finally does it. Been writing this in the comments since he f****ng started!
@@stefanhohneck8879 lol. Dude, I've been a sub since before he had 4,000. He has never done what I recommend
FANtastic news
As I understand it the purpose of a double-neck guitar is for when the guitarist wants to or needs to switch from a 6-string to a 12-string guitar very quickly and I just don't want to have to deal with taking off on guitar putting on the other. As I said earlier the further back you go in there, catalog the closer they get to their heavy metal roots
Geoff Tate is a classically trained Opera singer. I've been a huge fan of this band since the 80's.
Thanks Alex...have a dope ass day!! 🤘👍👍🤘
Seen them in So.Cal with Black Sabbath featuring Ronnie D also Alice Cooper . What shame they broke up
Such a beautiful song. Next R for artist : Rammstein - titelsong : Rammstein
Oh wow :D
Didn't expect this suggestion :D
(I mean the song)
U - Unleash The Archers - Cleanse The Bloodlines
YES! YES! YES! I agree! Excellent choice!!! For T I was thinking of TYPE O NEGATIVE & "Everything Dies"! I know he's reacted to one of their songs, but that is my favourite! And UNLEASH THE ARCHERS is perfection! Rock on! 🤘🔥💨
Yes
They have to be U
Any song by them really
I want to se alex react to that high notes in tonight we ride
Dream state- white lies
Soil work- nerve
Finch - bite marks and bloodstains

[R] Rammstein - Keine Lust
Rammstein have a automated blocker. so it wont happen.
The double neck guitar usually has a six string and a twelve string, and you can tune them differently, to keep from having to switch guitars during a song/show/performance. And btw Geoff is classically trained! He has a great range and tone.
One of my favorite songs to relax with. Loved this song when I was younger. Incredible song! Goosebumps as soon as the song started, man miss the 80s lol
R is for Rammstein : Mein Teil
Rammstein blocks everything
Good one
I think sonne would be better for him. Especially with the video
Or mein hertz brent
Rammstein - Engel
