Their concerts were fun, i worked stagehand for their empire tour and attended the entire Operation Mindcrime tour!! Great memories! Love Queensryche!!
Boeing is based in Seattle… Hence “Jet City” … Geoff Tate was the vocal GOD of the 80’s, along side Dio and Bruce Dickinson. Although Empire was an amazing album… I’d still classify Mindcrime as their opus. … btw. She’s GORGEOUS
You mean Geoff Tate IS THE VOCAL GOD OF THE 80'S....and his vocal range is amazing....especially in the song Queen of The Reich. What an AWESOME VOICE!!!
Great song, love the video...lots of hard metal Queensryche fans gave them a lot of shit over the Empire album...I like it !!! Everyone wants to sing like Geoff Tate...lol...man if I had his voice just for one night I'd so go slay it at a karaoke bar somewhere !!!..So recommend "Road to Madness", dunno if there's a video..don't think so, but it's an amazing song..vocals are super incredible !!
I was lucky enough to meet the band during the Empire tour, get their autographs & see the concert. As far as I'm concerned the new Q-ryche is no match for Tate & his new bandmates. Todd LaTorre who's the new singer is just a Geoff Tate wannabe.
@@torybrown2312 I can't even give a try with this current band line-up, there is only one Queensryche..I kick myself constantly cause I had two chances to see them live but was unable
@@richnorcal Ah that's too bad. Sorry to hear that. You ever listen to the new Ryche with Todd LaTorre? I tried but was unimpresssed cuz as I said Todd is a Geoff wannabe.
There will be an interesting journey here, should you choose to accept it. The warning, rage for order and operation mindcrime actually all make sense together if you were to pull certain songs out. They fit together in a society we have seen an are seeing today. Please read the lyrics and listen to NM156, Roads to Madness, Screaming in Digital, I will remember off the early two albums. Geoff has two solo albums that are very different, but unique, self titled and kings and thieves. I enjoyed both for different reasons. He's also done the operation mindcrime band. You have to kind of pick and choose songs off there. I enjoyed "the fight" and "left for dead" there's a few albums after Empire all the way up until "Frequency Unknown" album. He's did a nice tune with Sweet Oblivion called "Disconnect". Now he's touring this year in the u.s. Try to catch him. I think you will enjoy Geoff as a person and lyrics that pique the thinking person's mind and emotions.
I saw them twice as support for Metallica in Germany in 88! Both bands killed it! You two missed out on a lot of great concerts over here. And cheap! ;)
I don't know how many years ago i saw this video. I don't remember if i made it to the end of the video. I only made it to about 0:10 this time watching. These two are legends!
I move from Hawaii to Jet City aka Seattle in Summer of 1989 and was around through a lot of the grunge movement. Alice in Chains, Sound Garden, and Queensryche were my top three Seattle bands. It was a great time to be in Seattle and catching live performances.
You two together are Hilarious!!!!! First time watcher here and I can’t tell if she is sooooo pissed off having to redo the video/reaction or that’s your two’s vibe together but it was great!!!!! One of the best tunes ever in my humble opinion and I love damn near all of Queensrycke’s music!!!!! Thanks for this you two!!!!! Keep on keeping on!!!!! So says Austin Tx!!!!! 🎸🎸🎸❤️😎🍸
I sorry to say this, but, #QUEENSRYCHE is not only better the Dream Theater, but they are greatest band especially with Geoff Tate/Chris DeGarmo era...after that they have not been the same 🤘
I've come to really enjoy the queensryche songs we've done but still think Dream Theater is better for me. I can appreciate others thinking Queensryche is better though. Can't fault anyone for thinking that. Both are outstanding.
To your comment about "this concert looking fun"..... The Mindcrime/Empire tour was an incredible show. Saw it here in central FL. Ryche was always flawless live in the 80's and early 90's. The entire live concert is available on RUclips if you want to just react to it. It's Operation Mindcrime front to back with some of the songs off Empire thrown in as well. Was a phenomenal setlist.
Little scary you didn't know that was Seattle....and yes, the Space Needle is still there. Seattle (area) used to be home to Boeing so it was often called "The Jet City"....one of the most theatrical shows I've ever seen. These guys are better live.....
As far as I'm concerned Queensryche & Dream Theater are in a class by themselves. I saw 'ryche LIVE twice & their shows are amazing. I'm going to see Dream Theater live for the 11th time very soon.
Geoff is a musical cheat code. Saw them in '94 (Type O Negative was the opener, what a strange pairing), unremarkable venue but it was their peak era. Great show and they sound just as good live! Della Brown is my favorite off this album, and the unplugged version is likely their best. Thanks for sharing.
He's absolutely right. You SHOULD mention if it isn't your first time reacting. What were you going to fake it? Transparency is integrity and makes people like you much better.
I'll just add in a reply of my own I guess--- my all time favorite Geoff Tate vocal treat is off Rage for Order--- Walk In The Shadows. But, yeah...for growing up playing trumpet and keyboards, and only 9 lessons from the "Maestro" he is definitely incredible... you could say he was a late bloomer when it came to discovering his voice.
Your reaction is so good! New release! by "ONE OK ROCK" 「Save Yourself」MV. So cool ! All English lyrics.(English ver: Fueled By Ramen official site) They are Japanese Rock Band.( Previously, They have collaborated with Ed Sheeran and Linkin Park) Please check out!
What a cool couple of people you two seem to be. I'm headed to see Mr. Geoff Tate in October in California. Hope you guys get a chance yourselves. Stay cool...people. Frank in southern California.
Did you guys switch roles today? He seemed like the Jerk today, and she was way beyond. Loved your stick on "The Needle" He really didn't know? Please don't show him the Grand Canyon, that would really embarrass him. Lol. I'll leave it there.......
Nice to see more people listening to my generation of super talented musicians. I feel most music today does come close and people of younger generations need to do this trip into the past. Operation Mindcrime is a masterpiece that still brings tears you my face. I know you will enjoy it.
Jet city was common knowledge of that being Seattle Washington back then, and still is or so I thought, it’s where the Boeing plants are and why it’s called jet city
When this album came out, Ricky Rackman was interviewing Geoff and Chris. He asked the question, “There’s a lot of great music coming out of Seattle right now, why is that?” Without missing a beat, Geoff replied, “well, it’s a little known fact that for the last decade, Boeing has been releasing chemicals into the air to stimulate creativity. Given the prevailing wind conditions, you should see a lot of bands emerging out of Southern Canada in the next five years.” Chris doubled over in the back with hands over his face to keep from laughing, and Ricky is totally serious, saying, “dude, that’s amazing! Southern Canada - looking forward to it.”
I am honestly shocked that you guys haven't even done a single AC/DC song yet.....so I would like to throw my hat in the ring and suggest WHOLE LOTTA ROSIE( live at the river plate)
This is one of the great tracks from the Empire album, along with "Empire" and "Silent Lucidity" (a ballad). I definitely recommend reviewing Silent Lucidity. As well, other truly outstanding ones from Queensryche are "Roads to Madness" from the Warning album, and "Eyes of a Stranger" from their Operation Mindcrime album. You should definitely consider doing reaction videos to those 3.
You're not wrong as a fan of Dream Theater also... I'll defend Queensryche as the more palatable band. They were awesome to grow up and listen to. They were the OGs of the genre.
Now you're getting it... good job you two. Jet city woman is an ode to Seattle where the band is from. Seems like you two really enjoyed this one and are starting to really appreciate the quality of Queensryche. The production of the video was definitely higher than Take hold of the flame, so its a bit easier to decipher. You two should check out "Best I Can" .... "Is anybody listening"...or "Another Rainy Night" from the same album... best I can is the lead track and is anybody listening the last track on the album. Also so many great songs off of operation mindcrime from the official videos...sweet sister Mary... I don't believe in love... breaking the silence.. eyes of a stranger... or the lady wore black is another great official video. All these songs I've mentioned have higher production quality so they're easier to appreciate the quality of the song when playing these official music videos then take hold of the flame is. I mean "Best I Can" is about a kid who finds his dad's gun in his parents bedroom and accidentally shoots and paralyzes himself from the waist down when he was a young kid but decides to make his life the best he can... so uplifting! And is anybody listening is about dealing with the fall from fame of someone famous when the music stops... the lyrics to both are stupendous. And probably the video you should do next because it's probably their most famous song and it is a great video is "Eyes of a Stranger"...the last track on operation mindcrime that wraps up the entire 15 song Story.... the production value of the video is tremendous.
I challenge you to try something different ,Stryper is a christian medal band that got to gather in the 80s with songs like more then a man, the way, to hell with the devil. They are still rocking today with a newer album from 2018 with songs like the valley and sorry.the newest album 2020 has songs like do unto others, blood from above. With some of the best vocals I have ever heard the harmonies great, guitar solos good, Keep in mind this band come back 35 years later to still rock out and doing it well. If you start with one of the 80s songs you will not be disappointed. Thank you for your attention.
It's OK that this was your SECOND take on this song. Technical problems happen. Glad you told us though, AND it was nice that some of your original comments were remembered. I'd love to see those tears someday though! So, this is a rare "love song" for Queensryche. They have a few, but the are never sappy. AND earlier ones from their first couple of albums usually had an underlying obsessive or darkish little twist to it:. "Walk in the Shadows" had a vampire love thing going on. And "I Only Dream in Infrared" was another shadowy kind of love song. "The KILLING Words" is another love gone awry story. Listen to the live version of this from MTV Unplugged 1992. Near the end is a "killer" vocal part! The band live in and are from Seattle. THIS was about Geoff''s first wife who was a flight attendant. Also "Jet City" is a nickname for Seattle because the "Boeing" (bo- ing) Aircraft company is headquartered there. I love how QR almost always incorporated intense parts into most of their ballad-like songs. They usually take a song up and down in intensity and tempo. 😝 Haha, a frog at the end! Why not? But actually I THINK it's supposed to be a doorman or airport worker using a whistle to call up a cab. But I like the frog idea. Random! 10 out of 10, yay! I concur! Enjoyed both of your comments and thoughts about my favorite band (original lineup). And yeah, perfect songwriting here. "Anybody Listening" from the same album (Empire) is another killer composition. (Also, you'll see some Geoff eye candy if you watch the studio version. I'm sure the producers pushed this approach since it's not the usual way Geoff or the band present themselves. Geoff is always at ease and natural onstage, but there are a couple places he doesn't seem 100% comfortable ... but I'm not complaining!). I'm SO glad you're going to do Operation: Mindcrime! Pay close attention to the story and notice how the MUSIC supports the lyrics and creates the perfect atmosphere for those lyrics. I hope I can see this on Twitch. Not sure how to do that. But I'll figure it out! See you then!
Operation mind crime album. Best album ever. :). But it's a concept album. Each song is a chapter in the story. All songs are great. Even more impressive when it's all written to developed the story.
If you listen to this entire album in order you'll probably be transfixed. It's a story from beginning to end. These guys together were extremely talented. Too bad they could not reconcile, not its two bands (one with Tate, one with the guitarist).
Seattle is also referred to informally as the "Gateway to Alaska" for being the nearest major city in the contiguous U.S. to Alaska, "Rain City" for its frequent cloudy and rainy weather, and "Jet City" from the local influence of Boeing.
People could sing in the 80's because they actually worked at it and had talent... todays youngsters are too lazy to work at anything and thats why you get drop D one finger chording and growling into the mic that is completely and utterly incoherent.. and its not just music... Its in everything.. Talentless movies, tv shows, just everything culturally is all lazy and disgustingly ugly... People dont take pride in anything,,, and that is why the things of today sucks and tries to copy the things of the past and fails miserably..
Came here to post this, you beat me to it. DeGarmo wrote the majority of their catalog and when he left, it was all downhill from there. I have full respect for him leaving to raise his daughter. Not many musicians will leave the road for that.
Their concerts were fun, i worked stagehand for their empire tour and attended the entire Operation Mindcrime tour!! Great memories! Love Queensryche!!
Lucky you!!! I've seen them many times too (not as many as YOU!,) and theirs are the best concerts I've ever seen!
The tour after Empire for Promised Land was an entire production, especially for the title song.
Damn, I bet that was wild.
Boeing is based in Seattle… Hence “Jet City” … Geoff Tate was the vocal GOD of the 80’s, along side Dio and Bruce Dickinson. Although Empire was an amazing album… I’d still classify Mindcrime as their opus.
… btw. She’s GORGEOUS
Funny u should Mindcrime as I saw both their Empire tour & Mindcrime's 25th Anniversary tour I think it was. Both concerts were stunningly AMAZING!!!
You mean Geoff Tate IS THE VOCAL GOD OF THE 80'S....and his vocal range is amazing....especially in the song Queen of The Reich. What an AWESOME VOICE!!!
Absolutely.... Operation Mindcrime is a brilliant record!
Ur forgetting about halford
"You wish you could sing like that"? we all wish we could sing like that !!!!
Great song, love the video...lots of hard metal Queensryche fans gave them a lot of shit over the Empire album...I like it !!! Everyone wants to sing like Geoff Tate...lol...man if I had his voice just for one night I'd so go slay it at a karaoke bar somewhere !!!..So recommend "Road to Madness", dunno if there's a video..don't think so, but it's an amazing song..vocals are super incredible !!

They must hear all of their albums up to and including promised land!
The song was written about Suzanne Tate, Geoff Tates first wife. She was a flight attendant based out of Seattle. Geoff wrote the song.
This song was in the 90's, not the 80's. Empire was released in 1990. And yes, the band is from Seattle which is also the home of Boeing.
There will be an interesting journey here, should you choose to accept it. The warning, rage for order and operation mindcrime actually all make sense together if you were to pull certain songs out. They fit together in a society we have seen an are seeing today.
Please read the lyrics and listen to NM156, Roads to Madness, Screaming in Digital, I will remember off the early two albums.
Geoff has two solo albums that are very different, but unique, self titled and kings and thieves. I enjoyed both for different reasons.

Geoff Tate is still very affordable!
I don't know how many years ago i saw this video. I don't remember if i made it to the end of the video. I only made it to about 0:10 this time watching.
These two are legends!
Listen to their album "Operation Mindcrime". It is a largely unrecognized masterpiece.
Legendary song.
Yes the Space Needle is still there. Also home of Queensryche.
I move from Hawaii to Jet City aka Seattle in Summer of 1989 and was around through a lot of the grunge movement. Alice in Chains, Sound Garden, and Queensryche were my top three Seattle bands. It was a great time to be in Seattle and catching live performances.
Is she constipated?
One of my favourite songs Thanks Geoff Tate is Amazing 👍
There is no one like Geoff Tate..even his replacement, Todd le torre.
They had a good sound, vocals and music for that era.
still a great song, I saw this concert in SLC Utah, back in the 80s. still listen to Jeoph Tate
You two together are Hilarious!!!!! First time watcher here and I can’t tell if she is sooooo pissed off having to redo the video/reaction or that’s your two’s vibe together but it was great!!!!! One of the best tunes ever in my humble opinion and I love damn near all of Queensrycke’s music!!!!! Thanks for this you two!!!!! Keep on keeping on!!!!! So says Austin Tx!!!!! 🎸🎸🎸❤️😎🍸
There's a live version from this song in Oakland 1991 (Monsters Of Rock) that really sounds like the album. Very tight band live.
I sorry to say this, but, #QUEENSRYCHE is not only better the Dream Theater, but they are greatest band especially with Geoff Tate/Chris DeGarmo era...after that they have not been the same 🤘
I've come to really enjoy the queensryche songs we've done but still think Dream Theater is better for me.

There concerts back in the mid to later 90’s .. were always good. I saw them 3 times
Little scary you didn't know that was Seattle....and yes, the Space Needle is still there. Seattle (area) used to be home to Boeing so it was often called "The Jet City"....one of the most theatrical shows I've ever seen. These guys are better live.....
As far as I'm concerned Queensryche & Dream Theater are in a class by themselves. I saw 'ryche LIVE twice & their shows are amazing. I'm going to see Dream Theater live for the 11th time very soon.
Pull me under....a timeless song
Geoff is a musical cheat code. Saw them in '94 (Type O Negative was the opener, what a strange pairing), unremarkable venue but it was their peak era. Great show and they sound just as good live! Della Brown is my favorite off this album, and the unplugged version is likely their best. Thanks for sharing.
That tour was an awesome show. And type o-negative kept their set list nice and short.
And i saw them on their 2 subsequent tours. Great shows!
He's absolutely right. You SHOULD mention if it isn't your first time reacting. What were you going to fake it? Transparency is integrity and makes people like you much better.
One of the top 3 songs by one of the most underrated bands in history….
JET CITY refers to where they come from: VANCOUVER BC!
Not Operation Mind Crime...Empire...My favorite is Geoff's Rage for Order...but Mind Crime is the greatest Concept Album of all time, for sure.
I'll just add in a reply of my own I guess--- my all time favorite Geoff Tate vocal treat is off Rage for Order--- Walk In The Shadows. But, yeah...for growing up playing trumpet and keyboards, and only 9 lessons from the "Maestro" he is definitely incredible... you could say he was a late bloomer when it came to discovering his voice.
Recommend Whole Album Review of Operation Mindcrime!!!!! Progression-Pink Floyd…..Queensyrche…..Dream Theater….and I Guess,Tool….
Your reaction is so good!
New release! by "ONE OK ROCK" 「Save Yourself」MV. So cool !
All English lyrics.(English ver: Fueled By Ramen official site)
They are Japanese Rock Band.( Previously, They have collaborated with Ed Sheeran and Linkin Park) Please check out!
What a cool couple of people you two seem to be. I'm headed to see Mr. Geoff Tate in October in California. Hope you guys get a chance yourselves. Stay cool...people. Frank in southern California.

You should check out Queensryche "Silent Lucidity" to see a different side of them. I believe that was their biggest hit
I love Silent Lucidity....followed by Bridge & Chasing Blue Sky. My 3 fave Queensryche ballads. Anybody Listening? Is really amazing as well.
Lots of great bands came from the Northwest. I lived all over the area including Renton, just south of Seattle. Jimi Hendrix is buried there.😂
Nice to see more people listening to my generation of super talented musicians. I feel most music today does come close and people of younger generations need to do this trip into the past.
Operation Mindcrime is a masterpiece that still brings tears you my face. I know you will enjoy it.
Rage for Order is my favorite album. No fillers in the album...
No you're right. Most bands don't sound like any bands from the past. Everyone almost sounds the same. Lack of talent.
Jet city was common knowledge of that being Seattle Washington back then, and still is or so I thought, it’s where the Boeing plants are and why it’s called jet city
Best I Can or Is Anybody Listening...both great videos you may want to try from Queensryche next.
When this album came out, Ricky Rackman was interviewing Geoff and Chris. He asked the question, “There’s a lot of great music coming out of Seattle right now, why is that?” Without missing a beat, Geoff replied, “well, it’s a little known fact that for the last decade, Boeing has been releasing chemicals into the air to stimulate creativity.

Damn it's hard to concentrate on the music bro....I mean, that woman on ya left ,but love watching your vids
First time I heard this I was flying thru sand dunes in Mexico in a car that was not meant for sand dunes we called it jet skiing woman!
I am honestly shocked that you guys haven't even done a single AC/DC song yet.....so I would like to throw my hat in the ring and suggest WHOLE LOTTA ROSIE( live at the river plate)
Be nice if you require while they’re sick so we could hear it
I saw the Mindcrime tour, opening for Metallica.
Love this band there from Seattle and aren't gunge good thing you will like this you two rock
This should be called a babe and a nerd
Did you guy's ever hear Operator Mindcrime in it's Masterful performance of each and every song with power. What did you think 🤔
We haven't done it yet! We want to do the whole album soon. Just a matter of time until we do!
This is 90-91. Queensryche and Dream Theatre did a long tour together back in the late 90’s.
This is one of the great tracks from the Empire album, along with "Empire" and "Silent Lucidity" (a ballad). I definitely recommend reviewing Silent Lucidity. As well, other truly outstanding ones from Queensryche are "Roads to Madness" from the Warning album, and "Eyes of a Stranger" from their Operation Mindcrime album. You should definitely consider doing reaction videos to those 3.
Please react to Beast in Black,we all gone to have fun!!?
Eyes Of A Stranger should be one of your reaction vids🤘🏼🤘🏼🤘🏼
He needs to relax....smoke some weed and chill out.
You do realize Jet CITY Woman is not on Operation MINDCRIME......
We all make mistakes occasionally.
I saw that concert. Suicidal Tendencies opened
Jet city is one of Seattle’s nickname and yes dude, space needle is still there.
You're not wrong as a fan of Dream Theater also... I'll defend Queensryche as the more palatable band. They were awesome to grow up and listen to. They were the OGs of the genre.
Jet city is Seattle the bands hometown
I am from where these guys are from and Seattle is sometimes referred to as jet city
Now you're getting it... good job you two. Jet city woman is an ode to Seattle where the band is from. Seems like you two really enjoyed this one and are starting to really appreciate the quality of Queensryche.

We definitely want to do the whole album!!
Are you guys in Minnesota?
Which one is the jerk?
lol yeah its still there🤣
Tate is the Goat and the ryche is the best !
You need to listen to hold the flame from them
We did the live version already actually!
I challenge you to try something different ,Stryper is a christian medal band that got to gather in the 80s with songs like more then a man, the way, to hell with the devil. They are still rocking today with a newer album from 2018 with songs like the valley and sorry.the newest album 2020 has songs like do unto others, blood from above.

Promised land!!!
Hell yes!
The space needle is still there...
Now I know 🤣
It's OK that this was your SECOND take on this song. Technical problems happen. Glad you told us though, AND it was nice that some of your original comments were remembered. I'd love to see those tears someday though!

Seattle was well-known as "Jet City" because it's the home of Boeing, the airplane manufacturer.

The guitarist writer left 20 years ago and that was the end
@@latentsea absolutely !!!
Colin, Seattle is called Jet City because it is the headquarters of Boeing. In case you were wondering.
Seattle is also referred to informally as the "Gateway to Alaska" for being the nearest major city in the contiguous U.S. to Alaska, "Rain City" for its frequent cloudy and rainy weather, and "Jet City" from the local influence of Boeing.
Sweetheart, you are a TOTAL SMOKE SHOW! Don’t quite get what you’re doing with the Timid Boy to your left but, it’s your life!
No imagine it for 2 hours that’s how long they played when I seen them both times in the 90s
Seattle, the band's hometown, is known as the Jet City.
The live version from live evolution is better than the original, that was a great show
Leprous - contaminate me live reaction please
Looove the name of your channel 😂😂
Spector NS2 bass has gorgeous tone.
"What is Jet City?" Seattle.
As a timberwolves fan the shirt is dope as hell
Rudy Gobert!!!
People could sing in the 80's because they actually worked at it and had talent... todays youngsters are too lazy to work at anything and thats why you get drop D one finger chording and growling into the mic that is completely and utterly incoherent.. and its not just music...

People dont take pride in anything,,, and that is why the things of today sucks and tries to copy the things of the past and fails miserably..
DeGarmo left. Band is no longer epic
DeGarmo was the heart of this band.
Came here to post this, you beat me to it. DeGarmo wrote the majority of their catalog and when he left, it was all downhill from there. I have full respect for him leaving to raise his daughter. Not many musicians will leave the road for that.
She's cute!
