      It’s still by far my favorite Queensryche song. Also seems like foreshadowing of Chris DeGarmo’s mindset that would lead to him leaving the band. Sadly I don’t believe anything about their music was the same after he left.

      I think they fed off of one another and inspired one another.

      Queensryche has a lot of prophetic songs. Listen to "The Warning" and the "Operation Mindcrime" albums. Lots of seeing the writing on the wall concerning future events there. "N M 156" is a good one on "The Warning".

      Manowar: master of the wind
      Iron maiden: infinite dreams
      Bruce Dickinson/ Ian Anderson: Jerusalem
      Rammstein: stein um stein
      And if you like instrumental music I highly highly recommend Jason Becker, he a remarkable individual as well as remarkable musician.

      +Revolutionary Against Orwellian America Yeah.... He has one of the most amazing voices period, but there are some other singers in different genres with amazing voices.. Celine Dion, Mariah Carey, Don Dokken, and many other names, too many to mention.. But Geoff Tate is simply an amazing vocalist...

    Queensryche the best progressive metal band of all time.
    When I heard them for the first time I was 13 or 14. How often did I come home from parties at night in the following years to listen to these CDs (Warning, RageForOrder, OperationMindcrime, Empire) before going to sleep.
    The dream lives forever. A reunion with Geoff Tate and Chris DeGarmo in addition to today's line-up.
    SilentLucidity or TakeHoldOfTheFlame are still the highlights at today's concerts.

    I remember going to see Queensrÿche the first time with my frind that was a rock radio station program director in O.C. She got the package with a few demo "cassette tapes" and free tickets for a show at a small local venue. She called me at my job with JBL/HK and played the demo "cassette tape" over the phone for me to see if we wanted to go see them or not. Thank God we decided to use those tickets to go see this "different sounding" band.
    During the drive we mostly discussed how to pronounce the band's name and what it meant, if anything. We actually thought they were British! LOL
    Needless to say the show was fantastic! Geoff Tate's voice and his range was unbelievable. The band was great and very professional. They put on a great performance.
    On Monday my friend was pushing hard to play their demo on a late night local band show for unsigned bands of a wide variety. I don't remember if they played that tape or not. I was out of her stations range to hear the station at all and it was a long time ago.
    I remember seeing them again a few years later. I remember both of us saying that Queensrÿche sounded better live than on their studio record.
    I was so fortunate to have been young and in the music industry during the 80s and 90s. I no longer see too many poking fun at the 80s music. Although I do see some about fashion and the hair, the BIG hair!

With not even a thought i handed them RAGE FOR ORDER. 20+ sheriffs ( he was one), army honor guard, family, friends and queensryche in the back round. ONE GREAT SEND OFF. Peace dad and ROCK ON.
