Please dive deep into this band. You won't regret it.❤
I wholeheartedly agree....one of my favorite bands...I'm 63 so I've been a fan for a while...Rock ON!!
A great Queensryche song that showcases Geoff Tate's vocal ability. The Live in Tokyo 1984/08/05 version is awesome to watch and hear.
MM, if I’m correct, the video was towards the end of that show. Extremely impressive
🔥👆☝️
Given your frame of reference of the studio recording now, it's difficult to imagine that, yet, the live in Tokyo recording is amazing not only its production recording for its time, especially, but that it IMO they are all freer and make their sound better than the studio''s - for me, akin to the Voodoo Chile cover by Stevie Ray Vaughan and Double Trouble - specifically, Live at the El Mocambo (AKA Elmo) compared to SRV+DT's studio cover track, I'll ssy the same about Queensryche's live in Tokyo version of take hold of the flame (not to be confused with the original music-video which was an overdubbing disaster but the original concert live footage and soundboard mixing for all of the band and especially Tate's classically trained vocal capabilities including stamina. It's worth checking out vocal analysis by vocal coaches to come to appreciate what he's doing not to forget the high harmonizing vocals of the guitarist.
If I recall, Tate is a baritone. So, yeah, his range and the skill of his Bridge through the range was amazing when in his prime.
I think the "Live in Tokyo 1984" version is actually better then the original. It's really quite impressive to think that it's actually better than this version and it was the concerts encore song! Geoff Tate is one of the most underrated vocalists in Rock/Metal music, especially at that time. You would always hear about Freddie Mercury, Bruce Dickenson, Ronnie James Dio, etc. but you would rarely hear Geoff Tate get the accolades that he deserved.
Geoff Tate is one of the greatest vocalists you will ever hear. Operation Mindcrime is a masterpiece, as well as Empire.
Most definitely.
Yep... (and for folks who haven't listened to it) and Operation Mindcrime should be listened as the entire album, in order, as the songs on the album tell a story.
@@shanehebert396 Absolutely. Love how it all came together.
I actually prefer Promised Land and The Warning over Empire and Mindcrime.
Operation Mindcrime is the Masterpiece Not Empire.
One of the best vocalists of all time. He sang this night after night live EXACTLY as the recording
I had the pleasure of seeing them in a small venue in Covington, Ky. called the Madison, it was the last time they were performing Mindcrime and Empire live...they were AMAZING !
Geoff Tate made Queensryche!!❤❤❤
Yes - you have to see the live version. Geoff's voice is amazing!
and remember watching it that it's during the encore after a full concert!
Chris DeGarmo is extremely underrated for his contributions to this genre.
I saw them live in 87 and my guy hit those insanely high notes while running around. God am I that old?? 😲😂
This band is GREAT...yes I said it. Geoff Tate/Chris DeGarmo are the greatest progressive metal writing duo of all time and yes..again I said it...please do more reaction videos of #Queensryche, you won't/can't go wrong...🤘
Joseph, you don't stand alone in your opinion! You speak the TRUTH!
Welcome to the world of Queensryche. Their lyrics are more relevant today than back during the 80's. You guys should react to more songs from Queensryche..they have a huge catalog of material.
The Warning is an epic, EPIC album! Every song is excellent! Roads to Madness is a must listen!
Yes, Epic is right, one of the best albums In any genre, they should hear the entire album...
Road to madness to me is geoff at his best !!!!
u need to see the same song live in tokyo 1984
epic performance,
seeing them perform, the energy and stage presence ...
u wont be disapointed !
arch enemy handshake with hell
has clean vocals u should check out as well
Singer Geoff Tate one of the greatest voices in metal. He always referred to this song as a song of hope.
Yep Queensryche really was special and had many powerful songs. Try listening to The Lady wore Black and early song but awesome vocals or Roads to Madness equally as epic 🔥
Yes!! Roads to Madness is one of their best songs.
"Roads to Madness" is EPIC ! But, I don't think I could pick out ONE song as my favorite. One of the main things that set them apart as far as I'm concerned was you could listen to their albums all the way thru without a single bad song.
@@keithsowder4308 Very true I believe that their first 5 albums were 10's and Promised land very underrated. What a beautiful chemistry they had on those early albums could match up with anyone period 😍
@@paulwhitman3922 Yeah, "Promised Land" was underrated...but I think it was "Hear in the Now Frontier " where they "jumped the shark" and committed the critical mistake that a LOT of bands made in those days. They got away from who they were, they tried to have a "Grunge" sound and I think what a lot of bands don't understand is when you do that trying to pick up fans from a different genre...you don't really gain fans from that genre. What happens is you alienate a lot of your old fans that loved the way you sounded..and the new "grunge" fans didn't jump aboard because you were a Metal band and they would never like your music because you were a Metal band !
It's a song of hope and missed opportunities.
Keep following this band. Phenomenal musicians. Geoff Tate on vocals is amazing
Geoff Tate. One of the greatest singers in Rock-n-Roll history. Period!
Queensryche. GREAT Band!
You guys need to see the live version with Geoff Tate in 1984..... Fkin Amazing !.....Tates voice was untouchable back in his day!
Agreed, many reactors do it, doesn't appear to get blocked, must see this version live!
I don't know why they would take the live version down everybody else's reacted to the live version in Tokyo which by the way was after he sang for over an hour and he nailed it better then studio
You guys gotta see the live performance in Japan of this great song. It's absolutely incredible, as it's the final song of a long concert. Geof Tate's vocal range and power was unbeatable in the 80's. Treat yourself with that performance and you will love it. Great reaction as always!
So glad you guys reacted to this. Been a huge Queensrÿche fan for a long time and Geoff Tate is one of the best singers in metal!
I'm grateful I got to see Geoff sing in Phoenix on December 9th. He's quite a ham on stage (by that I mean a diva); but I guess that's understandable when you have mind-blowing talent. The band he's put together does justice to the music. It was so wonderful to hear "Silent Lucidity", "Empire" and other great Queensrÿche songs performed live and sung by the guy who originally sang them. Admittedly, I was disappointed he didn't sing one of their greatest songs -- "Eyes of a Stranger" -- but that just gives me an excuse to go see him again next tour!
I saw him in Dec 15th in Dallas. Ant wait till he comes back again. I've heard he's going to do a Mindcrime tour this year. I will definitely be there!
He's one of the absolute best to ever do it...the golden bar of rock vocals......love queensryche. 😎🤘
Queensryche is amazing, I highly recommend the live MTV version of the Killing Words
React to the studio version of "Eyes of a Stranger" by Queensryche. Their best song.
I love" Eyes of a Stranger" but in my opinion "Walk in the Shadows" and "Queen of the Reich" are up there as well. I mean there is not a bad song on "Operation Mindcrime". Another fave of mine that is underrated is "Needle Lies "
Perfection
You should definitely check out the live version from 1984 as well as "Silent Lucidity" and "Eyes of a Stranger."
🤘🤘🤘
Queensryche - Operation: Mindcrime is a phenomenal masterpiece. One that you should check out. Operation: Mindcrime is regarded as one of the BEST concept albums of all time.
I’ve seen them several times in concert and Geoff Tate sounds like this live. Just an amazing voice.
Chris Cornell and Chris DeGarmo (lead guitar, harmony vocals, and co-lead songwriter with Geoff Tate) were very close. So much so that Lilly Cornell did a cover of one of her dad's songs with her uncle Chris. (Who came out of a two decade retirement to play one song.)
It's stunning.
--Shannon
When I was young metal was seen as only dark and negative, bit so much of it has a really positive and powerful message, on top of having some of the most talented musicians.
Watch the live version!
Btw...love your reaction!
I've been a fan of Queensryche since their EP came out in 1983.
I love seeing and hearing young folks discovering the music that helped to shape my life!
1 of my all time favorite metal bands from the 80's
Geoff was trained in Opera !! One of my favorites!!!
Great band and I have everything they put out, Must here Operation Mindcrime album/CD.
Vocalist Geoff Tate was in his early 20's at this recording and held his vocal range for many years, just a tremendous band and their background vocals were always under-appreciated...but I guess not hard to get overshadowed by Mr Tate...lol
Queensryche was an amazing band and Geoff Tate is a legend in the rock community. Exceeds Steven Tyler's vocal talent. I've always felt that they were grossly underrated. Had a damn great drummer in Scott Rockenfield too.
The fun part is that he is actually a baritone
I’m sorry I missed this live. I’ve requested it so many times on previous livestreams. Geoff Tate was untouchable in his prime. A natural baritone with a 4 octave range. He was friends with Ronnie James Dio and if you see Geoff perform, his expressions are very theatric, like Dio.
Rob Halford of Judas Priest is another powerful metal voice.
The live version is insane
Seen them live during Mindcrime tour and in 2000. His voice was still killer. When you do the live version, you will be more amazed!!
Queensryche came together in the early 80's in Washington state, when vocalist Geoff Tate of the local band Myth joined forces w/ guitarist Chris DeGarmo of another local heavy metal band The Mob... Tate was operatically trained as a singer, but not a big fan of heavy metal music (he was more of a rock fan), but he agreed to sing on The Mob's demo if he and DeGarmo could write a good song... That first collaboration was the song 'The Lady wore black'... The 4-song demo was eventually named 'Queensryche' after 1 of the songs 'Queen of the reich' and released independently in 1983 as an EP. The demo was hailed by critics in England and Queensryche was signed to EMI Records (Iron Maiden's record label).
Combining the vocal range of Judas Priest, the complexity of Iron Maiden and the depth of Genesis... Queensryche delivered their first album 'The Warning' in 1984... 'Take hold of the flame' became a fan fave live... but the record was not a commercial success at the time.
Queensryche went futuristic w/ more electronics on the 1986 album 'Rage for order'... But it was their 3rd album... a concept record 'Operation: Mindcrime' that gave the band a platinum record and commercial success worldwide by 1989 as they opened for Metallica that year.
With the 'Empire' album in 1990, Queensryche scored a 3x platinum hit w/ radio-friendly hits like 'Silent Lucidity'... 'Jet City Woman'... 'Anybody listening?'... 'Empire'... 🔥🔥🤘🤘 On the 1991/ '92 tour, the 'Operation: Mindcrime' album was performed in entirety in concert.
Unfortunately, all things come to an end... After the acoustic-heavy album 'Promised Land' (1994) and the 90's grunge-sounding 'Hear in the now frontier' (1997)... guitarist Chris DeGarmo quit the band.
Geoff Tate carried Queensryche forward, but took them in a non-metal direction for years... his outstanding vocals were becoming somewhat worn out w/ age. After creative and business frustrations, Geoff Tate was fired in 2012 after an altercation w/ the other members before a concert... Thankfully, Queensryche found vocalist Todd LaTorre and returned to the heavy metal sound.
Currently, Geoff Tate tours often as a solo act and plays Queensryche songs often.
Gotta do the live version from Tokyo
If for nothing else but your enjoyment, watch the Live In Japan version. Pure Fire!
Multi octave bad ass singer. Bellevue, WA in the house!!!
Another great reaction. I love when you guys discover a musician or band and your genuine appreciation of that talent. Your faces when he first hit those high notes was very cool.
You should watch this song done live in Tokyo in '84. Even better than the studio version.
Please listen or watch the song by Queensryche . The lady wore black , it's on their 1st pl . And other older songs of theirs.
In my opinion, Geoff Tate's vocals cannot be equalled!
Please watch the LIVE in Tokyo 1984 performance of this song-- it's amazing!!
Geoff hits three E5's, near the beginning, in the middle, and at the end of the song. In the live version, the SECOND E5 is PERFECTION! It's a great performance from their early days too!
If you want more quality songwriting, musicianship, lyrics, and vocals, Queensryche music is where you'll find them!
As others have suggested, "Operation Mindcrime" is a must. From start to finish, one long story. Epic! I enjoyed your reactions and comments. And I agree about the ending! Cold endings are my favorite kind! Hope you do more QR!
Geoff and Bruce Dickinson are the greatest in my opinion! Seen recent live footage Geoff still sounds great!
You know...everyone talks about his range...but his phrasing, his transitioning from low to mid - range to high and back. His adding vibratto at the perfect time and his transitioning from super clean to gritty was impeccable as well !
@@keithsowder4308
I couldn't agree with you more! I usually list more of the vocal qualities he has, but my posts go on forever then, and I wear out anyone reading the comments.
Also, Geoff's expression and intensity are off the chart! And double yes on his beautiful use of vibrato!
@@purplekat5864 Yeah, he's one of the greatest ever. It's funny, several of my favorite vocalists were operatically trained, Tate, Halford, Pat Benatar. But Queensryche is criminally underrated altogether. People seldom mention that in an age of tremendous double lead players ( Gillis & Watson of Nightranger, Warren Dimartini & Robin Crosby of Ratt, Phil Colleen and Steve Clarke of Def Leppard, Glenn Tipton & K.K. Downing of Judas Priest, Dave Murray & Adrian Smith of Iron Maiden, I'm sure I'm leaving some out here ) few people ever mention Chris DeGarmo & Michael Wilton who not only were as good as it gets as guitarists but were tremendous writers AND did great high harmonies. As I said earlier...music to me must make me do one of 3 things. Make me move, make me feel or make me think. A decent song does one of the three, a good song does two of the three...a GREAT song does ALL three ! And I think Queensryche accomplished doing all three ( at least IMO ) more than any other band !
@@keithsowder4308
I rarely hear anyone pointing out the attributes of Queensryche (as a whole and individually) as well as you did! And I had to check to see if I, myself had written the things you said (☺️) because all the points you made are exactly the way I feel!
I LOVE the songwriting of Chris's melodic harmonies, and Michael's heavier edge. Geoff brings insanely relevant, and thoughtful lyrics. Chris, Michael, and Geoff could all write lyrics. I'm not sure if Eddie did. But TOGETHER they made innovative, fresh music that definitely stands the test of time! What I love too, and as you mentioned, the music MOVES me, musically and lyrically! It makes me FEEL something! It's talking about subject matter other than cars, girls, and partying. I love the powerful deliveries (and softness, when warranted). And I haven't heard anyone put real feeling into the lyrics, like Geoff. And Scott/Eddie!
They are all acclaimed, but not nearly to the degree they deserve. A few vocal coaches have remarked about how the band is SO cohesive, playing what the song needs to be great, not just showing off what they can do with their instrument.
And, surprisingly, my feelings about QR music grows stronger over time instead of fading away.
It's great talking with someone of a like mind, Keith! 😝
Definitely one of my favorite songs and one of my favorite bands of all time, next Queensryche song check out Child Of Fire.
Kick Ass!!! Awesome song and BJ rocking' that Chiefs hat! Ooh Ya!
Tears and goosebumps 40 yrs ago, 2023 tears and goosebumps 2da. Enough said.
Alot of astounding male divas with huge vocal ranges in classic heavy metal. But Geoff Tate is particularly good. At his peak he had a great control around the head voice register. Where the voice is about to break into falsetto. But he transitions between the register super smoothly.
My favorite band ever! Geoff is a truly gifted singer as you can hear! He has classical voice training. I will argue day and night, he has the best voice in rock history! Maybe of anyone in any genre! He has a 4.5 octave voice! My mom and uncle sang opera. They are stunned by his voice! And the band is top notch in all aspects! I've seen them 11 times and Geoff twice! They are awesome in concert! I've been to 200 plus concerts and theirs is always a 10!
I love that you guys heard the studio version, but please check him out do it live in Tokyo 1985 it's the popular version of this song.🤘😝🤘
Nice guys, love that you got the message and that Geoff is probably the greatest vocalist ever
Actually, folks usually react to the live version in Tokyo circa 1984 with no issues at all...
The live version in Tokyo 1984 sounds just like the record!!
I can not emphasize the point enough that you need to see the live version. Whether it gets blocked or not…it’s an absolute must see.
Should hear king Diamond’s range
Guys, you need to react to the Live in Toyko version!!! EPIC!!
And all the other Queensryche albums and songs!
Queensryche came on the scene in the early 80's and they are one of my favorite bands! Geoff Tate in my view is in the top 5 metal singers ever! Check out Eyes Of A Stranger which I believe to be better than Take Hold Of The Flame! I was in high school in 1980-1984 when Lady Wore Black came out and I've been hooked on Queensryche ever since! The albums Operation Mindcrime and The Warning are amazing albums from them! Thank you for your reaction!
You need to do the live version in Tokyo 1984. It will blow you away even more!
you have to watch the live one from 1984. vocals are sick
They we’re just as good live if not better than on the albums
Seen them live in concert awesome show they put on, Tate can sing, good review by u guys yeah 🤘😆🤘🥁🎤🎸
You must see the live performance from Japan
You'll get lots of recommendations for their album titled Operation Mindcrime, and rightfully so. But ... I will recommend the album called Rage For Order. That album is like no other I've heard. Songs like Walk In The Shadows, I Dream In Infrared, London, and Screaming In Digital are unsung classics in their catalog.
Silent Lucidity to see their versatility.
You two should watch the live in Japan video!! God bless and thank you for your fantastic videos!!!🤘🤘🤘
Oh you need to see Live in Tokyo...that's the one!
Geoff Tate
Baratone to High E!!!
*I wish you were reacting to the Live - Tokyo video of this song. Y'all gotta try their song; Queen of the Reich. Was the first song of theirs I rocked out to back then, and I know you'll love it.*
You need to do the live version, it's so much better!
Not the live in Tokyo video? Someone steered you guys wrong.
You get it, well done
Should've done the live version.
This is my favorite band seen them 3x Geoff Tate is amazing!
🤘😝🤘 he hit the same notes live in Tokyo.
Now you have to make a reaction to live in Tokyo 1984....it will blow you away
Queensryche is from my area. They were hitting right in my childhood. Geoff Tate was always one of the underrated great singers.
he can get much higher live ❤
Thank you!!!! The live version is even better, but thank you!
You're welcome!!
@@AsiaandBJ
Queensryche singer Geoff Tate is an opera trained singer.
Geoff Tate Opera trained!
I play this to start the day off, power.
Saw them 4 times in their prime. Geoff Tate was on a whole other level as a singer. untouchable. you really need to watch the 1984 Tokyo concert to see this band perform. you should check out the live official video of the song " Suite sister mary " Tates duet with Pamela Moore ( also an fantastic singer ) is amazing. The song " Queen of the ryche " shows Geoffs vocal power even more than " Take hold of the flame "
🔥
Definitely check out STRYPER - MAKE LOVE GREAT AGAIN and listen to Michael Sweet and his vocals.
Wait til you see this live! ❤ 😉
Yeah he is one of the greatest metal vocalist his name is Geoff Tate the reason people want you to react to the live I’d because it is just like this live
Recommendation, "EYES OF A STRANGER" "SOMEONE ELSE" "ANYBODY LISTENING"
Silent lucidity is my favorite of theirs and played at my wedding reception. They are incredible. I love his voice.
The classic lineup: Geoff Tate - vocals, Michael Wilton - guitar, backing voc., Chris DeGarmo - guitar, backing voc., Eddie Jackson - bass, backing voc., and Scott Rockenfield - drums
Asia and BJ, if you really want to appreciate how good Geoff Tate's voice is, there is a live performance of this song you should check out.
Great take on the lyrics...you guys are the FIRST reactors I've watched do that. Outstanding...
They are one of the bands, whose lyrics give a valid message of uniting and making a better world for us all. Tackling serious subjects and giving them a voice. They should be heard more. Thanks, Asia and BJ.
I fronted Metal bands back in the 80's & 90's and the way I always judged music was like this. A "good" song will make you do one of three things...make you move, make you feel, or make you think. Very good songs accomplish two out of three. GREAT songs do ALL three ! And for my money Queensryche had more material that made you do all three than any other band !
The live version in Tokyo 1984 blows this out of the water.
Excellent tune...
" Throw down the chains of Oppression that bind you..
With the air of Freedom the flame grows bright...
We are the strong! The Youth United..."
Tate, Cornell, Vedder, Staley, Cobain, Stringfellow/Auer. Seattle represent!
RUclips has a live Queensryche concert playlist from 1984, in Japan (there to promote their upcoming 2nd album, 'The Warning' -- 'Take Hold of the Flame' is on that album)...the FULL concert is incredible...and this song is the 2nd to last...despite that, Geoff's vocals are INSANE throughout...
