This dong describes my recovery from a Traumatic Brain Injury from being shot in the head. This year is my 27th Anniverary of surviving. This song helped push me onward when I wanted to quit. Thanks Queendryche.
+MrGreycharles Rap is good too and even Metal can be pretentious, just listen to Glam Metal or pornogore. You can enjoy Rap and Metal like Anthrax and Faith No More does.
Ken Brookins - Late 80's early 90's my friend, Freddie Woods, a tall black man from Detroit was a drummer in a local band & a DJ at KOMP a rock station in Vegas for years. One of the biggest and baddest head bangers I ever knew and an AWESOME radio personality! Biggest fan of KISS i ever knew, too. His skin color was irrelevant to me. In fact, we had been hanging out for a couple of years when one day I said to him, "OMG! Freddie you're a black man!". He replied, " You just noticed that?". "Actually, yes" I replied. We both laughed about that for a long time afterwards. When he would play the song "Hot Cherie" by Hardline at KOMP during his shift, that was a cue for me to come by the station with a bottle of Gewertztiminer (sp?) wine. He got a lot of "love" from the white chicks always until he married one. We had so much fun hanging out back then. Then, as is now, skin color means nothing to me. It's the person inside that matters. Ken Brookins, keep on rocking!
welcome to the world of skin-color-doesn't-matter; and "black" is a strange word for a culture (which is shaped passively by slavery and Jim Crow) rather than a race. As a white guy who is also into this music, I feel like I share some assets of the "black" culture despite my taste in music, but I don't really need to elaborate on this, man. Don't feel weird.
Being in a wheelchair since birth ( I have Spina Bifida) this song has a special meaning to me. Shows that if you have your mind set on something ANYTHING is possible
I've been in this "Private Chair" since a 1992 train accident which left me paralyzed since the age of 17. I've used this song as a call to arms if you know what I mean to be the best man that I can be. My daughter calls me the greatest Dad she could ever ask for, so that's good enough for me. Thank you to Queensryche for this song and all who have helped me on this long, painful journey. I won't be torn between the man in the chair and the man who's in my dreams!!
Within Queensryche's music from '86 to '90, you could hear a very subtle proggy vibe (namely Rush, Saga, Pink Floyd), along with the main influence (Iron Maiden). That's why, at that time, the band was so popular (and so original).
These guys wrote some absolutely amazing songs. This period of Rock was simply brilliant. Geoff had an amazing voice and Chris wrote some truly fantastic songs. Miss them. Steve 👍
Home with wife & COVID. Both of us. I needed this song. I don't think there will ever be music like this again. Very sad. The younger folks don't get it. But hey... We got it for us with the click of a button on RUclips. Gotta love it. What an awesome song. ♥️
I was in college when this came out. It definitely inspired me to “be the best I can”. We really need more music of all genres with a positive message as opposed to the negativity we find these days…Thank you Geoff Tate and Queensryche.
This song describes me surviving a catastrophic Traumatic Brain Injury, TBI, from being shot twice in the head. I wasn't wheelchair bound, but when the horror is trapped in your head, you can't escape it. I'm now 38 years post injury and have accomplished more than I ever thought I could have. "Now I'm moving forward and I'm never looking back," powerful words I've lived. Music has power and Metal has driven me forward and classical music and jazz allows me to chill out. Bottom line, never quit on yourself, never stop, never say never! Thanks Queensryche, I've chosen to be the "Best I Can."- US ARMY Veteran, ENGINEERS!
I also saw "Disturbed" "The Light".. Its another powerful rock song and very uplifting.. would like to hear your take on THAT as well.. trying to find more too..
I just truly love reading the comments of this video. Such inspiring people sharing their storys of overcoming difficulties in life. Metal unites and inspires.
"I won't be torn between The man in the chair and the man that's in my dream I'm going to melt the two men into one" These lyrics have to be one of the best motivators i have ever heard for both a message and a song
Indeed my fellow metal heads....All we can do is pass these Classic songs on to....well in my case to my son....And be really appreciates them all...And now he is on his own path to The New kind of Metal like Sabaton...And to tell y'all the God's Honest Truth THEY are GREAT....Right now here in Jersey it's raining Out so I turned him out to Crimson Glory....Lady of winter.....but anyway this is what we as The older Generation need to do is pass all the Good Metal to the youngsters...Like Fates Warning....No exit....Ray Adler's Voice on Silent Cries Classic.... But John Arch has a set of pipes...as well anyway enough of my rambling...LETS KEEP THY METAL ALIVE...,\m/

This song reminds me of my friend William, shot in a drive by shooting. He's in a wheelchair, after surviving a head wound. Wow. What a man, what a talent he has, William is amazing! So is this tune, thanks guys!
Don't worry, dear he'll never find the gun A child alone in daddy's room The gun was hidden here No one home to catch me when I fall A young man now in a private chair I've seen the world through a bitter stare But my dream is still alive I'm going to be the best I can I want to be a busy man I want to see a change in the future I'm gonna make the best of what I have I want to write for a magazine I'm gonna be the best they've ever seen I know I'll win if I give it all I can I won't let go Gotta make the grade, no I won't let go To be the best man, the best man that I can Back street hoop star you've got it good You were the wonder of the crumbling neighborhood Now taking bids on the next six digit plan Showed me that my will survived The tragedy that came into my life Giving me hope and the new start that I have And I won't let go Gotta make the grae no, I won't let go To be the best man, the best man that I can Step by step I dream the plan From my chair to walking man This constant dream is on my mind Chase the light I see ahead Luminate the path I tread I live to be the best I can Now I'm moving forward and I'm never looking back Straight ahead, focused on the big attack On a roll and I'm never slowing down I won't be torn between The man in the chair and the man that's in my dream I'm going to melt the two men into one And I won't let go Gotta make the grade I set no, I won't let it go To be the best man, The best man that I can The best man that I can The best man that I can
Saw Geoff Tate sing the entire Mindcrime Album Live, many years ago, was something I will never forget. What a voice! This was one of my favourite songs!
Agree with you bandwise. Just those hand signs. The actual one who wrote this lyric Best I Can is not in the band and about as far away from Lucifer as you can get Trust me I know The Monster gets all his lyrics by musical possession. In a trance 118 so far and twenty in this calibre. DeGarmo composed it. He made the prayer by an 11 year old boy that took more than 16 years to be answered. DeGarmo made that prayer come true and was blessed of the True God. Pray to the only one who can hear and answer prayers. Not Lucifer. Him, his punk kenite offspring and the global elite will wish they were dead when the REAL MESSIAH sets foot on the ground. And he's coming
Saw them on empire tour back in the day !!! Heavy heavy playing and vocals off the chart !!! I'm 61 still rocking out to empire and operation mindcrime !!! Imitators need not apply !!! Original lineup onlyyyyyyy !!!!
After a Car Crash in Little Rock Arkansas back in 1997 that broke both of my legs and was forced to a Wheelchair for a while with casts on both of my legs. I was told that I would probably never walk again and this was my life going forward. I contemplated Suicide and just ending myself until a former friend made me start listening to this track over and over again. It gave me the Strength to Fight back and take my life back. I stared Death in the face but I didnt let death take my life or the life that I live now. In the Verse I wont be torn between the man in the Chair and the man in my dreams, I'm going to melt the 2 men into 1. That gave me the strength and the power to come back from that part of my life and now I'm walking and have been since 1999. I have a 15yr old daughter and living in Florida. I'm truly being the Best I Can
queensryche always gave us the best they can, everytime i seen them in concert geoff tate starts playing piano then he gets fired up and sings his ass of with this song. since the song is call best i can, well tate worked real hard to be the best he can at singing and he did just that.
+Juda Martinez I would like to have attended those perfomances, sadly, times have changed. BUT!!! I do admire everything they've done, I love them. Such magic
This song is very inspiring to me ! Considering I was pushed off of a roof back in August 92 due to a selfish act of an individual. Now I am a quadriplegic trying to live the best I can and trying to do the best I can for me and my fellow human beings!! Queensryche has been a very special part in my life especially this song has helped keep me out of serious depression and to help me continue the fight to live a happy life.
I care for you man WCB retired me till 70 Am 60 now December 07/21 will be my fourth year knocked out of my tragedy Am awake in the midst of a 3 day pain event Keep up your good 💪works No later than 2068 Lucifer comes in a spaceship with his 7,000 fallen He'll pop up on one Beltane A 2 day April 30 and May 1st April 30 is my birthday 666 is no riddle it's simple Satan comes in the 6th seal, 6th vial and the 6th trump as written in the book of Revelations Almost all the world believes him Wait out the storm 5 months later the real Messiah comes and the ark angel Michael lays hold on him and puts him in the pit for 1,000 years while the whole world now in supernatural bodies sees it The ones who did not worship the filthy dog stay in The Millennium Temple and all those suckers are outside After the 1,000 years he is released a short season Whoever sides with him then? Well I wouldn't want to be them at The Great White Throne Judgement The only thing a soul gets to take with them is their good works Keep it up
This was my anthem after my car accident that left me a paraplegic. Helped me accept and adapt. Always a favorite song. Thanks so much for inspiring me
It sucks ass that the first progressive metal band that wrote the most thought provoking, mind-expanding music has parted ways. Geoff Tates' vocals crushed everyone and still do. And Chris DeGarmos' guitar work and songwriting stand alone. Metal has a vitality of its own and has taken music to the extreme ; it cannot get any harder, faster, technical, emotional nor progressive. That is why it is the sickest form of music humans can create.
Back then Heavy Metal was the most popular genre of Music. So it attracted the most powerful and talented musicians. Nowadays those talented musicians make songs for kpop music.
This song was the last one that a close friend of mine sent me before he passed away. I miss him dearly even though it's been a year. I know, nothing to do with the actual song I just wanted to get my thoughts out there.

Queensryche deserve to be mentioned in the same category as Rush, Dream Theater, etc.
I think Rush was a little less theatric
Absolutely

Their music is Timeless!! Still sounds fresh! All around Great Band!!
So true. The good old days of great music, lost to rap.
Bullshit. Rap didn’t kill this nor did Grunge. Groups like Queensryche were remnants of the 80s, and by 91 that tone of music was over.
What's wrong with rap or rock or metal or pop or whatever music there are in this world... Music is as music are ...
My God,so true!!
The voice of Geoff Tate is one of the world's greatest. A true genius.

Just letting you know 99/100 people that read this are going to think you said he survived a head shot and is now in a wheel chair at first glance.
The music of my life what memories
Don't worry, dear he'll never find the gun
A child alone in daddy's room
The gun was hidden here
No one home to catch me when I fall
A young man now in a private chair
I've seen the world through a bitter stare
But my dream is still alive
I'm going to be the best I can
I want to be a busy man
I want to see a change in the future
I'm gonna make the best of what I have
I want to write for a magazine
I'm gonna be the best they've ever seen
I know I'll win if I give it all I can
I won't let go
Gotta make the grade, no I won't let go
To be the best man, the best man that I can
Back street hoop star you've got it good
You were the wonder of the crumbling neighborhood
Now taking bids on the next six digit plan
Showed me that my will survived
The tragedy that came into my life
Giving me hope and the new start that I have
And I won't let go
Gotta make the grae no, I won't let go
To be the best man, the best man that I can
Step by step I dream the plan
From my chair to walking man
This constant dream is on my mind
Chase the light I see ahead
Luminate the path I tread
I live to be the best I can
Now I'm moving forward and I'm never looking back
Straight ahead, focused on the big attack
On a roll and I'm never slowing down
I won't be torn between
The man in the chair and the man that's in my dream
I'm going to melt the two men into one
And I won't let go
Gotta make the grade I set no, I won't let it go
To be the best man,
The best man that I can
The best man that I can
The best man that I can
Super song
Had a ruptured disc in my lower back and surgery for it about a month ago. I WILL GET BACK
this song fucking rocks love it
Thanks god!

Him, his punk kenite offspring and the global elite will wish they were dead when the REAL MESSIAH sets foot on the ground. And he's coming
I bought it on cassette too...I miss cassettes I don't even care what anyone says
This song always draws a few tears. So inspirational!
Saw them on empire tour back in the day !!! Heavy heavy playing and vocals off the chart !!! I'm 61 still rocking out to empire and operation mindcrime !!! Imitators need not apply !!! Original lineup onlyyyyyyy !!!!
After a Car Crash in Little Rock Arkansas back in 1997 that broke both of my legs and was forced to a Wheelchair for a while with casts on both of my legs. I was told that I would probably never walk again and this was my life going forward.
I contemplated Suicide and just ending myself until a former friend made me start listening to this track over and over again. It gave me the Strength to Fight back and take my life back. I stared Death in the face but I didnt let death take my life or the life that I live now.
In the Verse I wont be torn between the man in the Chair and the man in my dreams, I'm going to melt the 2 men into 1.
That gave me the strength and the power to come back from that part of my life and now I'm walking and have been since 1999. I have a 15yr old daughter and living in Florida.
I'm truly being the Best I Can
I miss this line up
This song, among others, were very inspirational when going through the hardest times in my life.
queensryche always gave us the best they can, everytime i seen them in concert geoff tate starts playing piano then he gets fired up and sings his ass of with this song. since the song is call best i can, well tate worked real hard to be the best he can at singing and he did just that.
+Juda Martinez I would like to have attended those perfomances, sadly, times have changed. BUT!!! I do admire everything they've done, I love them. Such magic
Lackesse It was fun, but now different singer not the same, no tate no ryche.

+Lackesse that's my theam song now I went from heaven to hell. ca to nc
+Lackesse that's my theam song now I went from heaven to hell. ca to nc
You keep rock"n hard
This song is very inspiring to me ! Considering I was pushed off of a roof back in August 92 due to a selfish act of an individual. Now I am a quadriplegic trying to live the best I can and trying to do the best I can for me and my fellow human beings!! Queensryche has been a very special part in my life especially this song has helped keep me out of serious depression and to help me continue the fight to live a happy life.
Oh my word. So sorry Ronald. I'll pray for you
I care for you man
WCB retired me till 70
Am 60 now
December 07/21 will be my fourth year knocked out of my tragedy
Am awake in the midst of a 3 day pain event
Keep up your good 💪works
No later than 2068 Lucifer comes in a spaceship with his 7,000 fallen
He'll pop up on one Beltane
A 2 day April 30 and May 1st
April 30 is my birthday
666 is no riddle it's simple Satan comes in the 6th seal, 6th vial and the 6th trump as written in the book of Revelations
Almost all the world believes him
Wait out the storm
5 months later the real Messiah comes and the ark angel Michael lays hold on him and puts him in the pit for 1,000 years while the whole world now in supernatural bodies sees it
The ones who did not worship the filthy dog stay in The Millennium Temple and all those suckers are outside
After the 1,000 years he is released a short season
Whoever sides with him then?
Well
I wouldn't want to be them at The Great White Throne Judgement
The only thing a soul gets to take with them is their good works
Keep it up
I hope whoever pushed you is behind bars and out of toilet paper now.
This is probably the most motivational song I listen to.
This was my anthem after my car accident that left me a paraplegic. Helped me accept and adapt. Always a favorite song. Thanks so much for inspiring me
Just a great opening song from the "Empire" album! Perfect and inspiring message within the lyrics.👌🏼
Jeff Tate's voice is so unique and powerful
***** the best voice of all time geoff tate.
+IRON BLACK SABBATH MAIDEN Juda? So true. He was the best.
Sandra Noneofyourbusiness sorry his name is geoff :-)
Steve Perry and John Schilt tank up there with him.
It's Jeoff Tate. He was an opera singer. Seen him twice. Taught me a lot.
This album came out in 1990, not 14 years ago.
Awesome voice..hits every cord perfect!
Excellent RYTHM 🎼🎸
It sucks ass that the first progressive metal band that wrote the most thought provoking, mind-expanding music has parted ways. Geoff Tates' vocals crushed everyone and still do. And Chris DeGarmos' guitar work and songwriting stand alone. Metal has a vitality of its own and has taken music to the extreme ; it cannot get any harder, faster, technical, emotional nor progressive. That is why it is the sickest form of music humans can create.
it didnt crush rob halfords XD
You obviously know nothing about RUSH, the God's of music, progressive rock, and concept albums.
Not Layne Staley’s power
John Parks
The Holy Trinity of Rock✊🏻
Back then Heavy Metal was the most popular genre of Music. So it attracted the most powerful and talented musicians. Nowadays those talented musicians make songs for kpop music.
I dedicate this to Mister Charles krauthammer,he sure did make the great.
This song was the last one that a close friend of mine sent me before he passed away. I miss him dearly even though it's been a year.
I know, nothing to do with the actual song I just wanted to get my thoughts out there.
So much beauty here
