ABCs of Metal - [Q] - QUEENSRYCHE - "Silent Lucidity" REACTION

[@kevinfranklin9799]

Geoff Tate is one of the most underrated singers in rock history. To really hear how awesome his voice is you need to listen to "Eyes of a Stranger".

[@Hejeval]

Also, he is a jerk.

[@kevinfranklin9799]

@@Hejeval I know he has the reputation for being a jerk, but that doesn't have anything to do with his talent. I think that may be one reason he is frequently overlooked.

[@yaboyblacklist2431]

Or empire

[@Tompa8989]

Take Hold of the Flame or Walk In the Shadows would also be amazing choices. The only two people who really rivals Geoff Tate's peak vocals are Glenn Hughes and Eric Adams from Manowar.

[@carmelaruck7116]

@@kevinfranklin9799 And he is also the main reason why Queensryche is not around anymore. Its sad that bands go through this...But you are not wrong. He was a very underrated singer IMO

[@andrewrichardi6211]

Believe it or not, this is the beginning of Geoff Tate's fall as a singer. First three albums his range and power were nearly unmatched. It's a big ask, but I beg you. Even if it isn't a reaction, and you just do it for yourself, please listen to their album Operation: Mindcrime start to finish. The album is an absolute masterpiece and no single song does it justice (don't listen to everyone telling you to listen to Eyes of a Stranger. The song is meaningless without context) I promise you won't regret it. Indeed it may be the best 45 minutes you'll ever spend musically.

So very true. Every time I get a new car, can I have a slight problem crashing cars, Silent Lucidity is the first song I play on the radio.

Been listening to Queensryche since the Warning and when Empire came out i was totally turned off by it. I saw them live as the opening act for Metallica in 1988 in Denver, Colorado, where they did the entire Operation Mindcrime album and a few of my favorites from Rage for Order. They also did Queen of the Ryche. Fantastic show. Especially for an opening act.

With a five octave range, he can do almost anything in metal.

[@nikkimandlis8295]

This song is my all time favourite song. It was also one of my fathers. “I will be smiling next to you, in silent lucidity”. My father passed away 5 and a half years ago. This song is one of the things that connects me with him again. Every time I listen to it, I can hear him singing it. My interpretation of the song is that sleep is the one place where you can connect with your late loved ones. And that they will always protect you.

Most double-necked guitars have a 6-string and a 12-string neck, so the guitarist can switch from one to the other during the middle of a song.

[@augiemesa9429]

In this case, it just looks like 6/12 string.

[@davidsimpson2560]

Wow, Queensryche!! So this is a great song, but it's basically the chillest song in their discography because this album (Empire) was their most polished and radio-ready. If you want to hear what heavy Queensryche sounds like, listen to "Warning", "The Lady Wore Black," "Queen or the Ryche," or my personal favorite, "NM156." That's the stuff they built their following on. Oh, and probably the Operation Mindcrime album in its entirety (don't just listen to one song, you gotta do the whole album). P.S. This song is about astral projection.

[@thevinylguy6823]

Ok, finally a thread of smart Queensryche fans, Take hold of the flame is the song that grabs you by the balls. Although Warning, Before the Storm, and En Force are also great songs.

[@brians3891]

@@MrRudeboy212 Thanks for the compliment on my choice of suggestion. All of their albums up to Empire were unique from each other and great in their own way. All had great songs. Only thing wrong with them I found was that I saw Empire tour when they did Operation Mindcrime in it's entirety and it was so overproduced and sequenced, it had no live feel to it. I was disappointed. I'm a musician and live the raw feel of live rock that you can hear seeing Guns n roses, Iron Maiden, Megadeth, Alice or Judas Priest back then or LA Guns or something similar. But still a big fan and appreciate what they did musically. The whole album with the songs you mentioned is so different within just a few tracks. An awesome display of their versatility from the start.

[@rorygrime1202]

A 16 string, allows the player to switch f r om lead to rhythm without changing guitar.

[@Prez76]

While this is a great song in and of itself, Eyes of a Stranger would have been a better introduction. This is the song you listen after you Have an appreciation for what Queensryche is capable of. But all is not lost, you can Just do that in the reverse order and now Eyes of a Stranger will hit that much harder. For the Letter R a great choice would be Ra -Do you call my name. Very obscure song that is extremely catchy. Thus will also probably be the only request for Ra so I’m sure you’ll end up doing Rage or something. Whatever you do it’ll be great .

Thank you for the great reaction to Queensryche! I've been a fan of Queensryche for a long time and I really love to see others discover them.

There are so many great songs by Queensryche but you cannot miss listening to the full "Operation: Mindcrime" album which is something that should be listened to from beginning to end for the full experience. It is perhaps one of the best concept albums of all-time!

Red and skillet are not metal bands, but I like the Sirenia choice

[@MaddDogg316]

@Dillon Haggart, I agree that most people can enjoy several songs from those bands as I do very much. I just don't want to see any more non metal bands on a metal list. He has already done a scar symmetry song so I was wanting a sabaton or soilwork song.

This song has been on my play list for ages. I will never stop listening to it. It has such a powerful message that literally EVERYONE can relate to. 🥰

S - Sabaton, Carolus Rex

[@arjanskok4933]

Oh hell yes

[@murryminis]

Very good choice

[@SortenRavn]

Or Gott mit uns.. Swedish version.. Would love to see Alex deal more with European/Scandinavian language...

[@Ems-ms3oj]

@@SortenRavn Yeah I'd really like that too! All Sabaton's Swedish songs are good..

[@SortenRavn]

@@Ems-ms3oj most likely because they're Swedes? 🤔 (Often a song becomes better when you sing in your native tongue.. )
