This was the song that introduced me to them in 88..................MAN I was a deep fan ever since. They are one of a kind. This record is a flawless MASTERRPIECE.
This is, in my opinion, the greatest album of the 80s and possibly ever!! A complete chronological story from the first song to the last. Beautiful and amazing concept from one of the original progressive metal bands 🤘🏻💥🔥🙏🏻💯 Still listen to it regularly
Love this track. Eyes of a Stranger is great too. Saw them live in ‘91 where their stage shows were like the music videos, the entire concept album. Btw came out in ‘88 but when you say it ‘sounds like stereotypical 80s’ i know what you’re trying to say but honestly back then no band was similar to them in terms of sound, technique, tempo changes etc. Essentially they were the precursor to Dream Theater.
Great reaction bro. Many years later I actually got to tell Geoff that this song broke me after my gf left me, and luckily we have reconnected and she was by my side as my fiancé as I told him this. He said he knew that song could apply to many and not just as part of the Mindcrime storyline.
Queueing for my first covid jab a couple of years ago, I realised my phone hadn't charged. I needed to entertain myself, as it was a long, long wait. I decided to see how far I could get replaying Mindcrime in my mind. I had to skip a bit around SSM, but damn that album has stuck with me! Because I had the rest of it down.
Queensryche fan since 1983 and Operation Mindcrime is a concept album. This song is like opening to the middle of a book to start reading. Start with the EP and move forward every song, it's worth it...
This one of my top 3 favorite Qeensryche (pronunciation queensrike) songs🤘🤘 This song is from Operation Mind Crime which is a concept record. Great job on the song breakdown. Geoff is a phenomenal singer and I knew u would really like the guitar solos here as well❤❤
Great song, but you should really listen to the entire album as it is a concept album (and heralded as one of the BEST concept albums of all time). It truly is a musical/lyrical journey from beginning to end...then you're appreciation for this will literally skyrocket.
This is #12 of 15 songs, on the Operation Mindcrime story line. In the Suite Sister Mary video you reacted too (song #8), Nicky is told to kill the Priest and Mary. He puts the priest down, but lets her live. He begs her to come with him, but she stays only to be brainwashed by Dr X, to commit suicide. In this song, Nicky is thrown into depression over losing her, Figures he wasn't meant to be with anyone, and writes it all off. If you ever wanted to do an entire LP in order, to dissect the meanings of a story, this is THE ONE.
You really should hear the great concept album ‘Operation: Mindcrime’ where this song comes from. Listen to it in order of songs to understand the story. It’s more complicated than you think. Also see Wikipedia. Eyes of a stranger, is the best song of that album. Live evolution is a great live concert to see and hear. You can hear the singer also on the Avantasia album Ghostlights with the song: Seduction of decay. I can recommend Avantasia. Same concept as Ayreon. One guy composes all the music and songs and then invites other musicians to play or sing the songs for the album.
I don't think of Queensrchye being stereotypical 80's. They were progressive metal before there was the genre. More like Pink Floyd meets metal IMO (at least for Operation Mindcrime).
Great, great choice Daphne. Such a good band. That intro is awesome. Can't go wrong with Queensryche. 🤘🏻🤘🏻🤘🏻🤘🏻 🤣🤣🤣🤣Stumbling at the end. A mouthful of Digestives 😋😋
Listen to the complete album. The nun wasn't just in this video to be provocative. She is an important part of the story. Yes, he waxed her. They had him under drugs and he didn't realize what he did. He just needed to follow orders. Great reaction!
Sister Marry was a Lady of the night, before that.. And ya you where close, It's Queens Ryche as from "The Queen Of the Ryche".. Give me a mailing address and I will send you Live Crime for free.
I don't know if you actually read the comments or not on here, if you do simply respond yes, Geoff Tate is my second cousin, I will send you my contact details, I don't know how to send them other than here, if you say yes I will post them here for 15 mins then I will delete them
The Entire Album is a Masterpiece.
Agreed.
Nothing more needs to be said!🖒
Best album of all time
Queenryche is masterpiece from the beginning 👌🤟
What an awesome concert. They did all of Mindcrime during the Empire tour.
The one time I saw them their video screens were glitched...no Mindcrime the way it was meant to be in concert
This was the song that introduced me to them in 88..................MAN I was a deep fan ever since. They are one of a kind. This record is a flawless MASTERRPIECE.
Scott Rockenfield on drums - epic! Double bass, and the snare that sounds like a cannon shot especially the epic fills on Speak - hell YEAH!
🔥🤘😠🤘🔥
Gotta love Scott’s chain draped drum kit too!
Pronounced Queens Rike. This is a song from their concept album Operation Mindcrime. The entire album tells a story. You should give it a listen.
You need to listen to the entire album, it’s a story. It’s my favorite album of all time.

Yep, 88 is when it was made
This album was released in 1988. Truly a masterpiece.

To fully understand what's going on, you need to listen to the full Operation Mindcrime album. It's a story.
Had a roommate (now Best friend) turned me on to Queensryche in early 2000's. Great band. Love your reactions.

Awesome song choice D! Tate & his Taters, turned it up a notch, for Lee to see they aren't all Opera Rock after all.
More Queensryche music videos:
Eyes Of A Stranger
Empire
Jet City Woman
Another Rainy Night (Without You)
Silent Lucidity.
Epic! 😎

Queensryche...sounds like (the) Queen's Bike

100% agree GMAN👍👍
@@daphned.7489 Tate & his 6 OCTAVE RANGE..... Say no more. 🤐
@@gmantw 😶
My favorite band ever. Seen them 12 times, 11 with Geoff. Seen Geoff twice. You need to listen to this entire album. Best album ever!!!!

Eyes of a stranger, is the best song of that album.

Check "Take hold of the flame" Tokyo live 1984 version to enjoy this beast of a singer in his prime. Cheers 👍
Love Queensryche, great choice Daphne!!🤘
Great choice Daphne 🤘🏻.
You need to listen 1'st to last songs in order to get the WHOLE stereo,because you are dead wrong about this song. Try it,you'll be glad you did.
You should look at Sabaton Carolus Rex
LISTEN TO THE ALBUMN. Learn the story
You really need to watch Operation Livecrime, to get the hole story.
Great, great choice Daphne. Such a good band. That intro is awesome.
Can't go wrong with Queensryche. 🤘🏻🤘🏻🤘🏻🤘🏻
🤣🤣🤣🤣Stumbling at the end. A mouthful of Digestives 😋😋
I've got my lovely crunchy biscuits, hell I'm gonna say it again case ya missed it 🎶🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
@@infin8reactions 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
I was like a scratched cd 🤣🤣🤣🤣
Geoff and the boys do an incredible job🤘🤘
@@infin8reactions First day with the new lips Lee😂😂
You mentioned that you like guitars. Check out Painkiller by Judas Priest. It has everything a great metal song needs
Hi Dee, thanks for watching, painkiller is already on the channel, check the judas priest playlist 😁
One of the greatest concept albums in music history! This was Queesryche at their zenith.
Listen to the complete album. The nun wasn't just in this video to be provocative. She is an important part of the story. Yes, he waxed her. They had him under drugs and he didn't realize what he did. He just needed to follow orders. Great reaction!
She didn't leave she died
Geoff Tate is one of the Master Class... 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
This song is just part of a great one hour concept album ... if you listen to it out of context it is sure to lead to misconceptions. 😎
This is one of the greatest concept albums of all-time. It’s up there with Pink Floyd’s “The Wall.” Certainly the best in the 80’s.
Sister Marry was a Lady of the night, before that.. And ya you where close, It's Queens Ryche as from "The Queen Of the Ryche".. Give me a mailing address and I will send you Live Crime for free.
Spreading the disease and speak are my favorites off of this album, but this and eyes of a stranger were the hits.
i was suppose to go see geoff tate laste week but was cancelled till next year ....... lots of great songs xx try Jet city women xx
