One of the things I love about Queensryche is that both guitar players will play the guitar solo together. I haven't seen too many other bands do that.
Same concert they introduced " Take hold of the flame : and Chris Degarmo hit some notes as high as Geoff Tate , Tate hit an E-5 at least 5 times I believe . Just incredible .....
Yeah, Chris's harmonies would many times take him above Geoff, but I don't think he got quite as high as E5. Chris has a very nice voice ("All I Want") but doesn't have the power and energy of Geoff''s. Nothing against Chris though! He's a killer songwriter, guitarist, pianist, and harmonizer!! And all around nice guy.
My friends and I were big Priest, Maiden, Triumph, Rush etc., etc., fans (as well as lots of other music) at the time Queensryche released their EP. Queensryche took what Priest and Maiden did, and upped it a couple of notches. They were extraordinary at the time. I'm still astounded every time I watch and listen to them from these days. I actually caught the very tour featured in this video at L'amour in Brooklyn. The band was even wearing the same outfits, and yes - they sounded exactly like this.
Kim Harris (Queensryche's manager) told a curious anecdote in an interview years ago. When recalling Queensryche's stint opening for Iron Maiden at Radio City Music Hall in 1985, Harris revealed that singer Bruce Dickinson appeared intimidated at the vocal range of Geoff Tate. “Bruce was knocked out,” Harris said. “He was actually pissed when he saw the band play. He was standing on the side of the stage with me, and he had daggers in his eyes when he heard Geoff hit those high notes. … [I]t scared him that Geoff could hit them so easily. This guy was killing his voice every night and Geoff was just singing away.”
Not surprising at all. I did stand up in my early days and it would get catty if someone killed, especially an opener. I'd put Geoff's vocals in the Top 5 of the 80's and Top 10 of Rock. And I'm not that big of a Queensryche fan, but one can't deny the power of those vocals. Cheers! Eric
For me Geoff was the greatest to do it. The purity of that voice is incredible....!! I have to agree with a comment or, Live in Tokyo needs to be remastered and re released....it's metal history and one of the greatest live shows I've heard and seen....
Geoff Tate is an amazing singer 🤟 He was invited to sing in the last Avantasia album (and has joined their live touring crew).There he has a lead song that reminds me of this era of Queensryche. The song is called Alchemy, if you want to give it a try :) Cheers from Chile 🥳
Ah back in the day when they couldn't fake it, I miss those days in the USA now I have to go outside to fine real talent I it's here but you have to hunt for it, nothing better than real music God bless
Back in these days, my friends love Motley Crue, Def Leppard, etc.. For me, Queensrÿche was by far the best from this airband era 👌 Better live than the album ! Tx for the react 🤟
Queensryche gave that era of metal such validity for musicianship, execution, and performance. Luv'd partying with the music of these other bands but Queensryche was simply inspirational.
It's an absolute crime that Live In Tokyo was never given even a DVD release. I had the Operation: Livecrime boxed set back in the day and later bought it on DVD. Ditto for the Building Empires VHS, later buying the DVD. Live In Tokyo got no such love. At least it is on RUclips.
I saw them on the Rage for Order tour, maybe about 1-1/2 to 2 years after this performance and Geoff was still nearly this tight. And later I saw the Empire tour with the LiveCrime performance. He was still completely unreal.
Your reaction to "my guys" has been immensely satisfying! Thank you for your very insightful and enthusiastic comments! I agree with everything you said!! It's nice to hear when someone really appreciates what Queensryche was, and could do! Scott Rockenfield was a BEAST on those drums, and along with Eddie on bass, WOW! I CONCUR about Chris and Michael's guitar tone and the beauty of those twin guitars! Back to back! Then there's GEOFF! I could go on forever about the quality of his voice, range, tone, pitch, vibrato, power, intensity, and expression, but there's not enough room here to do so. YOU know what I mean! I've seen them live (mostly in the 90's) and as you said, I have NEVER seen better live performances than theirs! As you said "stupid good!!" Really enjoyed listening to YOUR wonderful voice ( you still got it) praising my favorite band in the multiverse (original lineup)!! Thanks again! 😝
My favorite concert of all time Halford and Queensryche, opening up for Iron Maiden back in 2000. At one point Halford, Tate, and Dickinson were going to do a project called "Trinity: The Three Tremors", but was eventually canned due to busy schedules.
Was lucky enough to catch Tate in a small venue in sweden just before Corona hit. It was a religious experience. One helluva night. Thanks for this one Eric.
Dueling guitars + driving rhythm section (Scott and Eddie) + killer vocals = Queensryche. Tate got me into singing. Give a listen to Road to Madness a listen. Vocal masterpiece.🤘
Rockenfield doesn't get the love he deserves, best live drummer ive seen. I've seen these dudes at least 5 times, first time in 91 on the Empire tour(did Mindcrime as well in this show)and the last time was 1998 I think...blown away every show. Tate is arguably the best live vocalist of all time in this genre.
Rob who man this guy is not human singing that's how you kick ass always love this band hard to believe there from Seattle good heavy metal you said everything good job you rock
Also, wasn't this before bands had the ability to use an earpiece to enable them to hear themselves? I know they used to have amps on the front edge of the stage pointing back at them to help with that, BUT even so, Geoff ALWAYS hits all the notes! How is he so good?? I can't recall ever hearing him off key, as can happen occasionally, or miss a note! Such a tight and talented band!
Yup, on stage monitors up front and facing the band. Usually where the guitar player or singer would put their foot when they put their fists to the sky or holding the mic over the crowd so they can feel like part of the band. Cheers! Eric
@@TheWyldesidewithEricClark Thanks! Yeah, from the footage of one of those songs in Japan, I remember seeing Geoff put his foot up on an amp becoming an official band member! Haha!
Geoff Tate is a member of three metal tremors a play off the tree tenors the three tenors being luciano pavoratti jose carrera placido domingo know yall know how's who's who Geoff Tate had some cool power in his voice so epic and night after night and the progressive metal here is second to none
Hey Eric I can help myself think when I see Scott on the drums… he was a big inspiration for Jukka from Nightwish! Just watch that drive and energy how he smacks those drums… that’s Jukka!
Imagine what the headliner had to deal with having Queensryche open for them in the early days lol, show after show lol, saw them open for Metalica in mayb 1985??? in Odessa Tx and omg were they great, and Geoff was flawless. Enjoyed Metalica but the only thing they had on Queensryche was volume.
it takes those of us who were there to EXPLAIN what other's, today, can't seem to explain....those who listen today---have little to NOOOOO, Musical background or training outside of HIPHOP/ cRap...AND I BELIEVE THEY (QUEENSRYCHE) did all their music live ORIGINALLY...and THEN took it to the studio...SO...THESE GUYS WERE meant to BE LIVE!!! OPERATION MINDCRIME..BEST EVER FULL ALBUM...BUT DON'T FORGET ......RAGE....FOR.... ORDER... WALK IN THE SHADOWS
Thank you for pointing out this is the ending song nobody is ever done that in a reaction.. love Bruce but this guy was a beast saw them on this tour.. by far the best
Glad this got recommended I love seeing older metal heads like me do bands like this the kids of the day do not know what real music that's being played by real people sounds like I remember getting the EP and being blown away plus you remember in the '80s for bands every weekend alternating opening groups so I got to see queensryche four times to six they kept coming back to Huntsville Alabama with another band they would be opening for always an awesome performance and he should be put on the Rushmore of great vocals by far in any decade give anything to go back to the '80s the decade of debauchery I was a guitar player still play and also good luck this weekend ROLL TIDE 🌊
I've thought about doing a version of a "reaction" but more of a "Please Allow Me to Introduce This Song". I've done other vids of older tunes and why those songs are important. But I feel folks need to be reminded why 1965 to 1995 is the greatest period of music in the past 300 years. A lot of great stuff has been lost to the zeitgeist and nostalgia. Cheers! Eric
Yes, people are always talking about Halford and Dickinson when talking of 80s metal vocalists. However, there are numorous singers from the 80s and 90s that are not shown enough love. I´m thinking of Geoff Tate, as demonstrated here, Jon Oliva of Savatage, one of my personal favourites, Sebastian Bach of Skid Row and Tony Martin of Black Sabbath and Ian Gillan of Deep Purple and Black Sabbath ,- just to name a few- all amazing tenors who deserve to be given much more attention by the metal community. Btw. I´m still hoping for you to react to Universal Death Squad by Epica, Burning Bridges by Delain and House Of Mirrors by Arch Enemy. Epica just to hear them rock out in a way that I think even Nightwish would have to rise early to follow. Delain just because Charlotte Wessels is an awesome vocalist. Arch Enemy just because Alissa white-Gluz is a monster vocalist and it´s the perfect three minute modern metal pop song,- and there´s nothing poppy about it. All three song are official videos,- as far as I know they don´t exist in live versions outside crappy phonecam recordings,- and those are not really worth watching let alone listening to,- but it should make no difference,- they are all mindblowingly good. Epica: ruclips.net/video/P_Ys_W7ySkM/видео.html&ab_channel=EPICA Delain: ruclips.net/video/OpJ1ma3I0Ag/видео.html&ab_channel=NapalmRecords Arch Enemy: ruclips.net/video/1DvDjeRs-_o/видео.html&ab_channel=ArchEnemy Enjoy.
Back in the day QR with Geoff was my fav until AfterForever came along then Nightwish with Floor, but I would definitely put Miljenko Matijevic of Steelheart in the top 3.
If you watch the part of this concert where Geoff Tate introduced all of the band members he referred to both Chris and Michael as "Lead guitarists!" That agrees with your comments about these guitarists
The kid I mention in perhaps my first comment on your videos, who also has synesthesia, was also a big fan of Queensryche, because of the colors. I didn't mind it back then (we had a guy who wore earmuffs on our metal radio days ... WRNO was rebroadcasting Z-Rock out of Dallas then), but wasn't a huge metal fan, either. Now, my Spotify Daily Mix is all Metal
Just for fun I recommend reacting to the singer of Unleash The Archer, Brittney Slayes, after a full show and a bit tipsy, singing this at a Karaoke bar in Edinburgh, unbelievable. ruclips.net/video/280DRqoGyLw/видео.html FYI the performance of Take Hold Of The Flame from the same Tokyo show is also stunning.
I know its done to death by now, and there really is alotta reactions out there on RUclips for it, but if ya could (if someone hasn't already requested), do a reaction for 'Take Hold of the Flame' from this very same Tokyo concert in 84.
I usually tell people after they do Take Hold of the Flame from this concert if you thought highly of Geoff's singing check out Queen of the Reich even better but I usually say to watch the video it's pure cheese but hey that's the 80's for ya, my favorite song by them still all these years are I don't believe in love and Suite Sister Mary from Operation Mind crime and Operation Live Crime which is one hell of a live concert
I saw them in my small city in Atlantic Canada on April 1st 1989 opening for Metallica n saw them in 1991 one Province over with Warrior Soul opening this concert they did Operation Mindcrime in it's full beginning to end
Check out the killing words and I will remember both on Mtv and take hold of the flame live in Tokyo my opinion Geoff Tate has the best voice of all time
Another great vocalist. I forgot to mention in the Nightwish video, but Jarkko Ahola from Nightwish also has a set of lungs on him. I recently saw a video of him singing "Nessun Dorma", not quite opera, but definitely not metal either.
@The Wylde Side with Eric Clarke: Now you need to react to the Unleash the Archers cover of this song. Brittney Slayes did a karaoke cover of this at a bar in Scotland, and then convinced the other members of Unleash the Archers to release of a cover of this song. Brittney Slayes is just as good, if not better, than Geoff Tate, I'm tellin' ya!
Your thoughts on 80s metal up until grunge ruined it all, is exactly how I feel. Needs to be staged presents interaction between two guitarists and have actual talented vocals like the 80s, twin solos, and it is a show so..... some form of not really costume but stage presence and of course massive drum kits and the frontman like Geoff Tate is the perfect formula. Nowadays there's no guitar solos practically and a bunch of growling and really not that many virtuosos in guitars or vocals like in the 80s..... oh yes, the 80s was the best decade in metal
DeGarmo wrote the bulk of the music, so he got the lion's share of the solos...but i have ALWAYS contended that Whip was the better of the two guitarists.
This QUEENSRYCHE line up is the Greatest Band of all time!!! And yesss I said it..🤘
I'll just go ahead and say it, too.
Rockenfield often gets overlooked in this band. Such a powerful drummer and just drives the songs. he was an amazing drummer back then.
One of the things I love about Queensryche is that both guitar players will play the guitar solo together. I haven't seen too many other bands do that.
Geoff at his peak was the best ....i saw them a few times im the early 80s at Lamours in Brooklyn ......dude was untouchable
Seen them multiple times and agree. Geoff Tate is worth the admission price himself, the dude can flat out sing. The band was also tight.
Not only is it clean singing It's The final encore of a 13 song set in. Tate's just amazing. The whole band is amazing.
Same concert they introduced " Take hold of the flame : and Chris Degarmo hit some notes as high as Geoff Tate , Tate hit an E-5 at least 5 times I believe . Just incredible .....
Yeah, Chris's harmonies would many times take him above Geoff, but I don't think he got quite as high as E5. Chris has a very nice voice ("All I Want") but doesn't have the power and energy of Geoff''s. Nothing against Chris though! He's a killer songwriter, guitarist, pianist, and harmonizer!!

Geoff's voice sounds like 100 air-raid sirens blaring in unison. It's soul piercing.
Saw them open for Dio in Germany..One of my favorite live shows
I saw them open for White Snake in Hampton Roads, Virginia.
