      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.

    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

    I bought this ep at the Record Vault in San Francisco in 83 when I was 12. A guy at the counter took pity on my lost metalhead searching and recommended that I give this a try. 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.

    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 RUclips.
    Thanks for the good memories.
    Keep Rockin'!

    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

    In my honest opinion this is one of the greatest heavy metal songs ever! If you would to introduce someone to heavy metal who never heard it before this is a great song to start with. It has almost everything killer vocals, fantasy themed lyrics, driving riffs & blasting drums.

    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.

      +Richard Coffman Haha... that's one of the funniest comments I've seen attached to a RUclips video, and I can only imagine it being said with sarcasm. Don't get me wrong; I love Queensryche, and always considered their EP their best album. Maybe because I bought the cassette tape new when it came out, and nothing they did afterward rocked quite as hard (although they still created some amazing stuff). This is one of my favorite Queensryche songs, but the video, although an interesting a window back to a time when MTV actually used to play music instead of completely unrelated television shows, just can't support such an obvious overstatement.

    • @themetalone7739
      @themetalone7739 8 лет назад

      +Richard Coffman everyone is entitled to their opinion, but I must ask...were you on any hallucinogenic drugs when you made this comment?
      The song is great. Like, really great. It's one of my favorite songs by this band, second only to songs from the "Operation Mindcrime" album.
      However, this video is complete and total garbage. It's a prime example of why music videos are as irrelevant as they are now. They're irrelevant because they got so far up their own ass, and the creators of them became so desperate to innovate, that they created visual excrement that gets pumped directly into the eye-sockets of everyone who watches videos like this.
      Let me put it this way. Ever heard of the band "Grim Reaper"? I would put one of their videos on loop for the rest of my life, before this.
      I came back to this video because I remember watching this vid as a teenager, and thinking it was trash. I wanted to see if I still felt that way. I do.

    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”)
