Queensryche Live In Tokyo - Take Hold Of The Flame - Musician Reacts

[@mike-jm9rs]

Their debut was a 4 song E.P. Me my guitar player and one of our roadies, were at their very first show. Nice place in the valley ( about 20 minutes from Hollywood ) about 2 days if there’s traffic lol. We were lucky because it was a small venue about 250 capacity, perfect for a debut, showcase performance. We met them that night and many other times Got to know them pretty good over the years, obviously they always kicked ass live. Really cool guys too. Last time I talked with Geoff we were talking about that first show and joking about how long ago that was and how old we were now. John you have to do a whole album reaction of their masterpiece concept album. “ Operation Mind Crime “. It’s insane just trust me bro, it will blow you away.

[@georgeresso6835]

im no expert but the dude hit an E5 like it was commonplace

[@cwugrad396]

At least twice and maybe three times

[@psychosanity3463]

For Geoff Tate it was 😅

[@Μαρίαπ-μ8β]

Saw him live last year and he sounds still unbelievably good!

[@allengator1914]

He's still good, but it's obvious he's lost a little and can't do what he once could. It's hard to stay super human for ever.

[@stefanolowend]

Saw him too! Sounded amazing!!

[@vicprovost2561]

Great, signature song, the entire concert is worth a reaction. Amazing band from the start, do Roads to Madness next. Geoff Tate's vocals are beyond amazing. Enjoy! 🔥🎵🎸🎤🎸🎶🔥

Luv it! I remember first seeing this video back in 84'. Back then, MTV would hardly ever play metal videos. However, there was a show called Night Flight that would play metal videos at around 2am on Fridays and that's when I saw this video. Been a huge fan of Quennsryche ever since.

[@sean3038]

I first heard of Suicidal Tendencies on that show.

[@stanleydavidlepretre4241]

The Lady Wore Black is another great song to check out.

[@gcdumas2928]

We just saw him twice earlier this year. He still sounds amazing! He is doing a solo tour, all Queensrÿche songs…

[@cherylphillips1361]

Geoff has been my favorite vocalist for damn near 40 years.

[@Mr100Rupees]

- So .. Geoff how high can you sing ? - Yes

[@paulmarszalek3656]

I'd highly recommend pretty much every other Queensryche song on anything up to and including Empire.

[@allenlocke1935]

That was badass!

[@6lillium]

I saw Queensryche in spring of '84 . Absolutely insane , and flawless performance. My recommendation is "Neue Regal" from the Rage For Order album.

[@stevenewcomer8837]

If you haven’t already, check out SteelHeart. Lead singer, Miljenko Matijević, is one of the very best. His range is also unbelievable. Their 2 hit power ballads, “I’ll Never Let You Go”, and “She’s Gone”, are must hear songs. Links below. Thanks! “I’ll Never Let You Go” kzbin.info/www/bejne/fF7RqpifgNBma68si=UpVBsKf7ad5L5vKG “She’s Gone” (Full Song) kzbin.info/www/bejne/bKjIoqevidl7j8Usi=jzM_ti19GgiLpR12

[@HocusPocusFocus69]

Geoff was untouchable back then.

[@pentagrammaton6793]

Thanks for doing this. \m/

[@williamreiser3118]

He also has been doing solo material for quite a while and I heard him doing some of the old queens right at you know a lot older age he still sounds good

[@MrRudeboy212]

Queen of the Reich from this same concert album is fire.

[@efakter1]

Geoff Tate was a heavy smoker!!!!

[@williamreiser3118]

Hi young man I was 22 when this was a hit when I first heard this I was just completely blown away man how Geoff Tate can hit an E5 that easily when he's a baritone is mind-blowing

[@Mr100Rupees]

Geoff is just special

[@oldschoolfink3212]

This was the 7th song they played that night. He was already getting tired. Geoff Tate is as good as it gets.

[@robglanz2997]

Great reaction as always. If you are so inclined…Operation:Mindcrime is an absolute masterpiece. It’s a whole album thing. Thanks for all your reactions, always a positive vibe!

[@Vee1music-lover]

Die hard fan of Geoff Tate! Out of this world vocals!!!✌🏻😎

[@Ifyernotawakeyet]

The concept album, Operation:Mindcrime. Finally the concept album gets past the mix engineer!

[@AlfredMeador]

If you really want to hear his range check out eyes of a stranger

[@kirbybailey607]

He has an opera background!!!

[@troywilkinson160]

No, no he doesn’t.

[@ace2guitar]

Try Michael Romeo War of the Worlds Part2 , that album will melt your face. Featuring Dino Jelusic on vocals

[@marcolopez1512]

Queensryche has much more better songs than take hold of the flame

[@Ilikeryche]

Such as...
