[@mettall1981]

Axl Rose would never cross my mind when hearing Geoff Tate

[@boomerrocksUSA]

"Roads to Madness" is the ONE song anyone should play to someone else to introduce them to Queensryche. Its their early period masterpiece. NO ONE was doing anything like this in 1983/1984

[@froggy5935]

Spot on! When the host said it "sounds like the 80s" I laughed because when this came out it sounded nothing like any "80s" band was doing at the time.

[@stixnbrews8933]

Bold choice for your first Queensryche song. Love it!

[@crimsonskies1445]

I don't understand why people don't start from the beginning of Queensryche's career. It's a journey..

[@HocusPocusFocus69]

IMO...Roads To Madness is Geoff Tate's finest moment.

[@crimsonskies1445]

I agree my friend... IMO "The Warning" is the greatest Progressive Metal album of all time.

[@jseanperry]

Agreed. Epic song.

[@guitarguy7487]

You really can just feel the emotion in voice especially in this song.

[@HocusPocusFocus69]

Geoff's vibrato in his upper register is unmatched IMO

[@jakelee7639]

Might be so,....second choice the whisper

[@crimsonskies1445]

Queensryche fan here since 1983. My opinion is Queensryche's "The Warning" is the best Progressive Metal album of all time. My personal favorite song from this album is "No Sanctuary".

[@davidransom4703]

yes someone needs to react to that

[@jseanperry]

My favorite as well. Fantastic song. 👍

[@1467mb]

Agree 100%

[@Someone-qm2zv]

My first Queensrych album I bought when it came out in 84 I was 12 years old . And I loved it. Awesome album.

[@crimsonskies1445]

@@Someone-qm2zv That's a great memory brother. I turned 12 in 1980 and my brother is 4 years older and he got me onto GAMMA, Pat Travers, Rainbow, etc. I keep wanting to go back..

[@richardbeaune9158]

this song remains underrated within the Queensryche catalog, I think. This may be my absolute favorite song, and I'm a big fan of almost everything they've done.

[@brennanfry3768]

It definitely sticks out. It's crazy because this doesn't sound like any other Queensryche song but if you've heard Crimson Glory it definitely had to influence a few songs by them.

[@crimsonskies1445]

Chris Degarmo was a major part of the writing in Queensryche and needs to be recognized for sure...

[@ernieherrera1034]

This is the meat and potatoes of Queensryche! They have many well known songs, but they have so many hidden gems as well!🤘🤓🤘

[@carybrauer9669]

Ryche Rules! Geoff has a voice second to no one! This band has it all. No weak part them at all. I met them in a garage in Bellevue when they were called the Mob. I heard Geoff doing voice warm ups and was in awe! My mom sang opera and I heard it in his voice. He was really cool as all the members were. This band is my favorite ever! Triumph was, but now they are number 2. Every song by them is amazing. They just fill every void in my soul. Love the Ryche! RYCHE ON!

[@thomasp4579]

I would try "Take hold of the flame" (live Version Japan) next, his voice is incredible :-)

[@thomasp4579]

Live in Tokyo 1984

[@patrickbravender8844]

Absolutely spot on

[@kingpin4xtc]

I totally agree and was going to be my exact suggestion !!

[@crimsonskies1445]

Queensryche's "The Warning" is the GOAT Progressive Metal album.

[@snw7]

This is the band that got me into prog-rock!!! Love this band!

[@jonathanmol4489]

Jethro Tull got me into prog rock. I did listen to this band in 1980 and I also listened to Space Rock Hawkwind and Black Metal Mercyful Fate .

[@jackiedaytona7681]

Neue Regel from Rage For Order is a must listen. His finest hour

[@rachelwhite4320]

Queensryche unplugged is amazing, the killing words or anybody Listening are the two best! You probably heard Silent Lucidity, that was a big radio hit 😎👍

[@Quarks_Bar]

Queensryche suggestions that nobody else recommends--1)London or The Killing Words, 2)The Mission or Suite Sister Mary, 3)Warning or NM 156, 4)Best I Can or Anybody Listening?, 5)Damaged or Promised Land

[@brian8527]

Thank you sir for doing this one 👏👏👏. Geoff Tate is unlike any other vocalist and the band are simply phenomenal at their individual craft! I think that Geoff and the band are so undervalued and not appreciated enough. Thank you again my friend for appreciating this 👍

[@renecastillo5642]

Yes Tate is a beast... Top 2, 3 metal singers in my opinion. Saw them for the first time in 1983 in Houston and became a big fan. It was my 1st concert and it was a Red Cross Benefit concert for Hurricane Alica. It cost $5.00 and it was Quiet Riot, Queensryche and Axe.

[@kylemc8851]

Name one or 2 better, there are none!

[@bousmerang]

More Queensryche please

[@6lillium]

I have seen Queensryche live in the 80s . They were for real ,and Geoff was flawless live . He hit EVERY note, much to the chagrin of many of the bands they opened for . This album, and the two following it, are credited with being some of the very first progressive metal albums ( before Dream Theater) My list to react to , based on your reaction to this song..... 1) Neue Regel ( a masterpiece) 2) London 3) Take Hold of the Flame 4) the entire Operation Mindcrime album ( it's a metal opera, and is credited as being one of the best metal albums of all time) From the Empire album, their sound became more mainstream , but there are still many gems , like "Della Brown"

[@barbaravance6774]

Agreed! Geoff is amazing! The Take Hold Of The Flame video and song live is the way to go for that song. For me anyway. I find it interesting to see people who have no idea who he is. 😆 Little fun fact, he's playing our friends small club in September. I can't wait to meet him in person. My husband has played at the club since it opened. And our family run lights and sound for the club. And Geoff's drummer Daniel lives local. So, they run stuff for his side band. I just so glad concerts are returning.

[@vennexx]

I saw them live doing their empire tour. They counted down the clock. They did a few songs from other albums. Road to madness was one. Ans some from empire, but they did all of mindcrime. And still counted us down. It was one of the best shows I've ever seen. Also note, many other of the best shows i saw them I saw them do both mindcrime one and two. Amazing.

[@kennethbutler1343]

No one talks about Neue Regal for some reason; it's a masterpiece that seems under the radar.

[@OTCRock4one]

Queensryche "The Warning" album Tate was in his prime!

[@erickknutz5599]

Noice, I see recommendations for Queensryche that are fairly unknown to anyone except hardcore fans, but even in those I rarely see a shoutout for London. Neue Regel too... that entire album is sheer masterpiece.

[@SMenkveld]

And let's give full faith and credit to Eddie Jackson's stupendous bass lines in this song. --Shannon

[@clivematthews5296]

Geoff Tate is one of the really great male singers. Was a huge Queensryche years before I discovered Nightwish and yes he reminds me of Bruce too. Guess what ? I love good singers and yet can't get into Axl Rose at all. Try Take Hold Of The Flame live

[@barrymitchell6681]

Anything from the "Rage for Order" or "Operation Mindcrime" albums should give you an excellent intro to the band

[@genrabbit9995]

OP:MC should be listened to in its full. song by song makes not much sense. Especially out of order

[@crimsonskies1445]

I would start with the EP

[@vennexx]

Operation mindcrime is the best they have ever done. It was magic ina bottle that was waiting to pop. One of the best ever albums to be created. The concept, the story, the music to take you one the journey.

[@realtorjames33]

No question. Operation mindcrime.....

[@OTCRock4one]

[@vinograd74]

You want any request for this band? Well take any song from "Operation mindcrime"... Or their famous video "Take hold on the flame". That will continue your joy from listening to them )

[@hanzzz2303]

Roads to Madness is arguably their best song, but Geoff's finest must be Take hold of the flame.

[@purplekat5864]

Nice reaction! I'm glad you appreciated their writing, singing, and overall musical talent. Did you catch the very last line: "Seeing light at the end of sight reminds me, I've passed away!" Their lyrics and subject matter are always worth scrutinizing. Please listen and react to more by them. You will thank us!! Singer, Geoff Tate was classically trained, and as you can tell, has complete control over his gorgeous voice. His high notes are sung, not screamed. And he can sing ANYTHING effortlessly! Try: MTV Unplugged 1992 " The Killing Words" ALL of the concept album "Operation Mindcrime"! It's a continuous story, and HIGHLY regarded both lyrically and musically. What a great band! Every one of them! QR (original lineup) was diverse in their writing, but always intense and spot on, as the British say.

[@palantir135]

You really should hear the great album: ‘Operation: Mindcrime‘; a concept album, somlisten to the whole album. Live evolution is a great live concert. Geoff Tate also sang on (an) Avantasia album(s). Look for Seduction of decay; studio version.

Take Hold of The Flame is a must! You probably heard songs from Operation Mind crime on the radio: Silent Lucidity, Jet City Woman, I don't believe in Love etc.. were HUGE HITS! 💕🙏🇺🇸

[@stevekallio6783]

Finally Tom, I knew you would love Queensryche, the singer is Geoff Tate, he is my 3rd all time favorite metal singer. He's a vocal God, from '82 to '94, nobody could touch him vocally, at least in my humble opinion. There are other great songs from this "The Warning" album like Take Hold of the Flame, NM156, En Force, Before the Storm, and Deliverance, just to name a few, enjoy your Queensryche journey, and as always, stay Metal. 😊🤘🤘🤘🎶🎶🎶🎶

[@tinkydoodle]

He's my #3 as well.

[@crimsonskies1445]

He's my #1 lol yes this album is dark, mysterious and masterful.

[@octaviogamboa6187]

1st 4 albums fromt too back are all good

[@Mike_Judas_Priest_Kalsek]

Queen Of The Reich from their self-titled EP is a killer track that really shows off Geoff's range. Brittney Slayes from Unleash The Archers does a killer cover of it at a karaoke bar. The sound quality isn't too bad considering it was shot on a phone. Maybe do them both in one reaction video? Cheers!

[@damienmaynard8892]

^This! Both, please!?

[@josefhorndl3469]

Great reaction for one of my favourite 80's melodic-rock-bands, Tom :). After some Queenryche-classics I would like to see and hear your reaction for the German Metalband Helloween with the alltime-classic "Keeper Of The Seven Keys", if you haven't heard them. This song was sung by the phantastic Michael Kiske, who for me is on the same level as Geoff Tate. Bye

[@Incomudro1963]

You're reaction is the reaction my friends and I had to Tate and Queensryche when we first heard the EP, and later the release of The Warning. Truth is, I STILL have that reaction to this day. It's hard to believe that they were real, that they were this good.. But they were! They were amazing.

[@crimsonskies1445]

Geoff Tate is the Metal GOAT

[@wendymears7696]

Totally agree. Takes you to places other singers don't

Finally some Queensryche ....!!!! Try Take hold of the Flame live in Tokyo ...These guys were way ahead of their time and the singer is the legendary Geoff Tate also check out Queensryche ,unplugged , i will remember .. kzbin.info/www/bejne/iKO2dKege9GmqMU

[@patrickbravender8844]

You just got taken to Queensryche church !! Welcome

[@crimsonskies1445]

I highly suggest listening to this album in it's entirety. Start with the album list beginning song #1 is NM156 it's how the band meant for it to be in order and at the last minute, suits changed the order at release.

[@Tbone.357]

The Warning, their best album in my humble opinion. Not a bad song on this disc. Bought it on vinyl back in the '80s and still one of my favorites.

[@reesezpeecez08]

Being a college student in the early 70's, my music base was Black Sabbath, Led Z., Deep Purple, etc. In the workforce from the 80's on, I didn't have guys in the dorm bring over the latest album so all I got was radio type music. I don't remember ever hearing Queensryche. Fast forward to today with retirement and youtube, I discovered Queensryche and fell in love with Tate's awesome voice, the perfect musicianship with backup voices and the genius lyrics. I vote for Queen of the Reich, Warning, Silent Lucidity (the video), I am I, and Take Hold of the Flame (live). Operation Mindcrime is full album only; to listen to the songs individually is a "felony".

[@robspence2276]

I've been a QR fan since I picked up Rage for Order cassette when it came out while I was working at Sam Goody. It took me a month to play side 2 ...because there was so much going on side 1. So good! Try 'Neue Regel', 'Take Hold of the Flame', 'Real World', 'Eyes of a Stranger'...

[@josephgonzales9169]

Welcome to the world and realms of "Queensryche"..this is definitely a CULT band with the duo of Geoff Tate and Chris DeGarmo at the helms... Everything they do is Great...please listen to more...

[@dirtpile]

Loved this band from mid 80's into the 90's. Saw them several times before Degarmo left and couple times since ... new singer is pretty good but Tate is unmatchable.

I really enjoyed watching your reaction to this…. This really isn’t one of QRs most well known songs but is a great one which makes your reaction even cooler. I’m excited for you to check out some of their other greats. Check out Eyes of a Stranger, Anybody Listening, I Dream in Infrared, the Whisper, Take Hold of the Flame, Suite Sister Mary (basically anything off of Operation:Mindcrime)

[@stevefortner6413]

Still no Queensryche ‘Take Hold of the Flame reaction 6 months later? Dude you are missing out. The one live from Tokyo may be the greatest live performance I’ve ever seen.

The band is on the record saying they were very unhappy with the production quality on 'The Warning', fast forward to today, I can't imagine the album sounding any better

[@irishinnish1]

Geoff Tate was opera trained. Hence, his insane vocal range as well as the conceptual arc of every QR album. Now, you are going to get a TON of requests to react to songs off of "Operation: Mindcrime," Queensryche's platinum selling rock opera. A bit of advice from a lifelong QR fan: don't listen to random songs off that album for two reasons; 1) You won't appreciate their artistic and musical value as much if you don't follow the storyline, and 2), lyrically, it just won't make sense. There ARE reactors who have listened to the WHOLE album, which I would suggest you do, either here on your channel or on your own time...but either way, I promise you, that album will change your life.

[@crimsonskies1445]

I agree fan since 83' people should start with the EP and enjoy the journey. My all time favorite album is "The Warning".

[@AnaJonesDoCarmo009]

Agreed! I was a 16 year old teen when "Operations: Mindcrime" fell into my hands by someone that knows me very well: listen to this, take your time, call me in a week. I called him next day screaming. It is still one of my fav albuns of all time. And you need to follow the story. Sometimes I will listen to my fav songs, but as a rule: I will pick the whole album, no interruptions. It is a masterpiece. Roads to Madness is my fav QR song.

Even after 18 years since I heard it the first time I get chills down my spine. I love many bands but not all stick to me for this long as Queensryche. Operation: Mindcrime was and is one of the most important albuns in my life. And will always be...

Such otherworldly lyrics. Has anyone deciphered them?

[@richnorcal]

Yes they have long hair but definitely not one of the typical 80's hair metal bands.."The Warning" is a great album, really recommend "No Sanctuary" and the live version recorded in Tokyo in 84' of "Take Hold Of The Flame"..I would listen to the studio version first then you'll see how amazing the live performance is Geoff Tate (pronounced Jeff) is the singer, most of the songs were written by him and lead guitarist Chris DeGarmo..I so recommend watch their live performance from Tokyo in 1984 of the song "Take Hold Of The Flame" you'll see he does not have just a studio voice, he's the real deal !!

[@TheJeffyBob]

They are phenomenal!!! Do yourself a favor and listen to the Operation Mindcrime album. It will blow you away. Any song on that album is worthy of a review. Also, the Rage for Order album and The Warning are absolutely incredible.

Geoff Tate - vocalist, Chris Degarmo - guitar, Michael Wilton - guitar, Eddie Jackson - bass and Scott Rockenfield - drums was the lineup at this time on this cd, up until early to mid 2000 and by far my favorite song from my favorite Queensryche cd 'the warning.'

Comparing him to Axel Rose is an insult to Geoff Tate. Rose can't hit those high notes unless he shreiks. Geoff Tate is a classicly trained singer. FAR better than Axel. And I like Guns n Roses

[@salsaucedo]

Queensryche is not a hairband at all, they were a true heavy metal band with a taste of prog-rock one of the greats of yesteryear. From the debut EP in 1980 to Empire 1990 they remained consistent with amazing songs and albums. Axle Rose really, no more like between Bruce and Rob Holford of Judas Priest who is his idiol. I'm sorry but I had to laugh hard with the idea of axel rose as an inspiration to anyone other than his fans which obviously I am not. to each their own it is what we had back then during the hair days and glam days the road to ruin of Rock and heavy metal as we knew it. They were played on specific radio stations that only did hard rock and metal music, I got to see them several times before Geoff Tate left the band.

[@damienmaynard8892]

Chris DeGarmo (guitarist and songwriter) is brilliant and combine him with the incomparable Geoff Tate - these guys should have been MUCH bigger. Their entire catalogue is astonishing - from "The Lady Wore Black", "Take Hold of the Flame", "Neue Regel", "Gonna Get Close To You", AND absolutely EVERYTHING on "Operation: Mindcrime" (and the live concert/rock-opera/presentation "Operation: Livecrime"), "Silent Lucidity", "Empire" to "Dis con nec ted", "I Am I" and "Someone Else?".... Geoff became a grandfather earlier this year - so, not all bad!

They weren't part of the Hair Metal scene which was more pop/sleeze style. Queensryche leaned closer to the Progressive and Power metal sound and really tread their own path.

[@richardjones1498]

Always loved how the music flows at the end of this song just before the last bit of lyrics. (@12:22) There’s uncertainty, a struggle, and then rejoice in freedom of escape. Geoff let’s out that cry of triumph…But then the final lyrics bring it all home. “I see a light at the end of sight, and it reminds me, I’ve passed away.” Chilling.

[@Ifyernotawakeyet]

11:00 are some whispered words, and NO ONE can figure out what Geoff Tate is saying! Warning was intended to be a concept album based on Orwells 1984, released in 1984! Mix Engineer messed the song order up. Original song lineup (for starters): Nm156, En Force, Deliverance, No Sanctuary Take Hold Of The Flame. You can know the beginning and end of the album. NM156 has the swirling synth to start and "Roads" ends it the same.
