      So incredible! I saw them at a 16 year old back in the 80's opening for KISS at the Spectrum in Pennsylvania and was entirely enthralled thereafter. They were known as the "thinking man's metal." Keep on rocking (check out Kamelot, Circus Maximus, and TNT if you are so inclined.) :)

      I personally think that they gave Seattle a bad name. Jimi Hendrix was good, heart was good, and all of the Seattle bands all the early 90s, better known as grunge, or great! I thought Queensreich were boring! I did like the "Operstion Mindcrime" album. It was really good, but adide from that...too Heavy Metal starting out, and too boring from "Empire" on up.

      As one of the biggest Queensryche fans over the years, I couldn't agree more! I got here over the course of connecting dots on many recent artists and came across a cover of QotR which brought me to this video. I just so happened to expand the only comment that caught my eye that was 1 year old only to find out Mike posted 4 hours ago about Scott leaving. How does this happen?! Chris, Scott, original Queensryche told an amazing story over the years and I'm honored to have experienced the rise and fall in my lifetime!

    Queensrÿche Queen Of The Reich Lyrics
    In the dead of night
    She'll come and take you away
    Searing beams of light and thunder
    Over blackened plains
    She will find her way
    Flying high through the night
    She will hide your fate
    As she takes your soul from under
    And the blinding light of the castle fades
    There is no escape
    It's the ending of your precious life
    Your soul slipped away
    It belongs to the Queen of the Reich
    The Queen of the Reich
    Yeah she's coming for you
    You're fading away
    Your life cast astray
    A victim the beast shall obtain
    The light will not shine
    For you'll die tonight at her shrine
    And black is the last thing you'll see
    Over and over
    Dreams of dying fill your head
    It's the sign of the cross
    That you'll find ahead
    No one will answer
    The light is fading away
    Captive souls are screaming out in pain
    There is no escape
    It's the ending of your precious life
    Your soul slipped away
    It belongs to the Queen of the Reich
    You're fading away, No, No, No
    The Queen of the Reich
    You're slipping away, yeah
    The Queen of the Reich

Put it in my Walkman ,pushed play as I rode my skateboard down Haight, I was so blown away, I don't even remember getting home, all I remember was this blasting in my ears as the street scenes passed by like a haze....Good times!!!

      I have a similar memory. I was about 11 when I first heard this. It was a Saturday night and I had the stereo on low as grandpa disapproved of "metal". I was blown away, even at that volume. I remember telling my elder cousin about the band the next day and he laughed at me. Few months later, I caught him listening to mindcrime.

I listened to it so much I considered it their first "album" even though it's an ep, and to this day I get confused when people say the Warning is Queensryche's "Debut" album even though the self titled is only an ep- I guess that's the impact it made lol

Another show from that era that hit me similar was my first concert just the year before with Scorpions on the Blackout tour with Iron Maiden on The Number of the Beast tour opening, at the Cow Palace I think.

    Queensryche
    Hi
    Long time fan. I remember recording this video on VHS from MTV's Headbanger's Ball probably late '80's or early '90's. I watched it over and over.
    I even had the Album on tape cassette.
    I loved the videos like these. Some of the newer bands are going back to the older theatrical video formats.
    I had always hoped to see another video that tied in with a continuation of Queen Of The Ryche.
    Anyway, due to the fact that I had lost my VHS tapes when I became homeless for a few weeks back in 1996, I am so happy to find this video here on CZcams.
    Thanks for the good memories.

      Chris and Geoff were the heart and soul of the band. They were the storytellers. You couldn't pay me to go see the current line up. Nothing against TLT as a vocalist, but for me, it hurts me to my core to hear him sing Geoff's songs.

    • @mcclane8812
      @mcclane8812 Před 7 lety +4

      mskARin888 indeed. Geoff's voice and Degarmo guitar skills ..bottom line between Operation Mindcrime and Empire, that was the height and demise of the band. best they ever composed.

    When I was a deployed marine in Okinawa (1988) there was a club near Camp Hansen called the East Coast Club that had a screen as one of the walls. The first time I ever walked in this was playing on the screen and it was so loud it shook the club!

    When I was back in high school, KLOS of Los Angeles was giving away tickets to the first 100 callers to Queensryche at the Hollywood Palladium. A few weeks prior, for another concert, I had heard the DJ laughing at one of the winners who used the San Diego phone number to 'sneak' in for a win. So, I figured, what the heck; I dialed the San Diego number probably running up the phone bill for my parents, and voila! I won tickets. I couldn't get the car that night, so a metal head friend with an old 70's Cadillac Coupe de Ville hand me down car was invited, and it was quite the show. If I remember, the opening act was Carmine Appice's King Cobra. Oh, and I got a cassette of one of the albums which was played on the way home in my buddy's car, LOL

    I cannot believe I've never seen this before, in all the millennia I've been online. Geoff Tate was one of the first, if not the only one, to do high pitched banshee wailing correctly. I know others will say... Merciful Fate... etc... And some of that passes the grade... but nobody got it better that Geoff, and for that matter, when it come to arrangements, sound and over-all kicking ass, Original Queensryche is still among the top 10 Metal bands of all-time.

    This great bands name originally was The Mobs.. One of the first songs they wrote was “Queen of the Reich.” About a year later, The Mob was courted by Easy Street Records’ Kim and Diana Harris, and their manager urged them to change their name. Exhausted from trying to think of replacements, they settled on plucking a couple of words from the aforementioned track and then changing “reich” to “rÿche” (which can mean “realm”)
