Yes Queensryche was way ahead of the time.. one the greatest rock bands to come out of the 80s, their music is very deep, the most underrated band of the Era

[@melvinpike4266]

Queensryche is one of my favorite bands of all time!!! They are amazing!!! Please react to Eyes Of A Stranger and Take Hold Of The Flame, both songs by Queensryche.

[@k-popplayinklown5473]

I like how you “ feel “ the music as well as hear it

[@chrisoralls3555]

Yes! That's why she is such a great reactor. One of my favorites.

[@Dubblebass]

Superb reaction to an amazing song from a phenomenal band! Loved them growing up and I love to see people finally find them!

[@Quarks_Bar]

Empire was released back in 1990. You are very right when you said Queensryche was ahead of their time. They're my very favorite band and have been since I first discovered them in 1991. Ironically, I was still 8 years behind since their first album was 1983. If you feel music this strongly, then I recommend a song called ROADS TO MADNESS. It's extremely dark with deep lyrics but only the studio record version. The song has never been replicated live very well which sort of adds to its mystique. It cuts to the soul

[@philstone3859]

QUEENSRYCHE is a Powerhouse band. Excellent live band. I’ve seen them 21 times over the decades from the first tour on up. It’s a thing seeing them point blank. It’s impossible to take your eyes of Geoff. He rules the stage and he knows it. The entire band is badass.

This song was released in 1990. The album was their biggest seller. The Empire album was very introspective. They wrote songs about current events and what was taking place in their own lives, having spent so much time touring in support of their previous album, Operation Mindcrime. There are a lot of songs that make one emotional. Trust me, there isn’t one bad song on the album. In my opinion, the classic Queensryche lineup did NOT write a bad song. I loved seeing your honest reaction to a 30 year old video that is still relevant.

[@skrumper]

Really appreciate how you shared your true reaction and emotions to his song.

[@Thedesertguy75]

The band that was WAAAAAAAAAAAAY ahead off their time with their intelligence and beautiful honest music.

[@pamagnolia]

Awesome song. Your reaction was great to see. Magic!! Thanks Empress!! 😊🌹

[@DMKali]

Queensryche was yet another sonic gift from the Seattle area

[@love68]

You almost had me crying. I've lost alot of Friends from suicide and murders where drugs were involved. Big love to you sweetheart, from Texas!💛💯😔

[@lisamercey7509]

Geoff Tate is a rock god his voice is a masterpiece

[@michaelcorley3622]

Empress, love your huge heart & passion! I got to see them perform this live more than 30 years ago. Great live band!

[@davidransom4703]

very powerful music here a lot of young people have no clue the creativity of these legendary bands

[@DarkAngel1985Mike]

Love this song since early childhood

[@GONEOFFSCRIPT]

The song is talking about the Drug (Crack) epidemic that jumped off in the mid 80's and when it says Eastside meets Westside Downtown they are talking about the Gangs that were divided and set off against each other as each set were Fighting against each other for control of what block or what Territory that they are trying to defend against Rival Gangs or Law Enforcement. The bottom line is that Queensryche went straight to the Streets for inspiration to make a record this song and I'm proud of them

[@Bluesygal]

This song was released during the height of the crack epidemic and gang wars in America. This song was about the damage that crack was doing and the inability to stop it.

[@rod370]

Hi, You said it Empress "Wow". What a song. Its like making me happy. And I don't know why. Stay safe from Covid-19 to you and your loved ones.

[@tomeagen1039]

YOU ARE RIGHT, THIS BAND WAS AHEAD OF ITS TIME////////////////////

[@WineSippingCowboy]

This is the classic lineup. 30 + years old 🎂 Suggested video 📹: Take Hold of the Flame 🔥 Live in Tokyo, Japan 🇯🇵

[@tilemonkee5510]

Another great reaction, Empress! Tragic what mankind will do to each other,but it will come to an end eventually ❤

[@Metal_Archaeologist]

You're awesome. Peace!

[@kevinbarberio5143]

Must do Anybody listening, probably my favorite tune by them. Great reaction!!

[@RLKmedic0315]

Anybody Listening and Another Rainy Night are my favorites, but honestly all of Queensryche's music is superb.

[@dougc9323]

Such a gorgeous woman 😍

[@miltonslocum8957]

Empress, this song was released in August 1990. And yet, it's still relevant today. Your assessment is on point. There's expression that says "Power corrupts...and corrupts completely." Empress, there's an amazing album by Marvin Gaye called What's Going On and was released in 1971. Every song on the album speaks to the social injustices in society. Each song segues into another song. Rolling Stone Magazine ranked it as the number one of their list of the top 500 albums of all time. Would love to see you react to it. You could start with the first song What's Going On. You could do another song the next day. After What's Going On there's What's Happening Brother Flying High Save The Children God Is Love Mercy Mercy Me Right On Wholly Holy Inner City Blues Thanks so much Empress for the sincerity of your reactions!❤

[@johnthompson6374]

Are you also offering her a gift card for tissues? If she listens to all of those at once she's going to run out of tissues very quickly.

[@coryb6810]

Great video!

[@freddiedash1653]

Your genuine 😍 good reaction

[@longfootbuddy]

never realized how much eddie vedder looks like this guy in the jeremy vid

[@Wyrdbard]

Awesome reaction. In case you were not looking at the lyrics during the video, here is the monologue commentary part of the song starting at minute 4:04: "In fiscal year nineteen eighty six to eighty seven Local, state and federal governments spent A combined total of sixty point six million dollars on law enforcement Federal law enforcement expenditures ranked last in absolute dollars And accounted for only six percent of all federal spending By way of comparison, the federal government spent twenty-four million more on space exploration And forty-three times more on national defense and international relations than the law enforcement" Keep up the great reactions. 😊

[@karlshuler1011]

Hard to believe this came out when it did. The song still has a strong message today.

[@SigifredoUribe]

We feel the same way.. and we’re American💔🙏🏽😢

[@MrFrankf44]

Silent Lucidity-Qqueensryche , you will really enjoy, it’s a beautiful song!

[@jindas4217]

This whole album is 🔥🔥🔥

[@Fakeaorta]

OMG! I Am first! I never knew it would feel like this! I have so many people to thank! I wanna thank Tessa Thompson, Teyonah Parris, and Kat Dennings for being awesome! Thanks 'Wandavision', 'Ted Lasso', and 'Loki' for wonderful TV! I also want to thank KZbin for giving us content to get throught Covid a little easier.

[@therealcobracommander8324]

I'm second. I love you 😍😍😍😍

[@jpmbz]

If you like this song, listen to "Silent Lucidity" it will make you ball your eyes out!! I saw Queensryche twice in the 80's. Ryche is pronounced the same as The Third "Reich".

[@purplekat5864]

But not at all related to the Reich's ideologies, which is why they changed the spelling, to disconnect from those inferences.

[@purplekat5864]

@@larryd3002 Geoff never sounded that left wing to me. I thought, at one time, he considered himself a Libertarian. I think he has leanings, but not "flaming" as far as I could tell.

[@garystubbs5503]

Ty Empress. Please react to: 1. Take hold of the flame, live in Tokyo, 1984 and 2. Silent lucidity, by Queensryche.

[@darthvader8094]

Please react to Dancing in the Sky by Dani and Lizzy. I think you would like it. God bless

True Reaction 🤘your Awesome💓

[@nicholasburris9784]

A really good song you should react to is Mr. Big Be with you

[@4everhealthwellness344]

I like that they call out the US government on how they spend so little on not just law enforcement but they don't INVEST in communities. Especially poor communities which is where a lot of the crime is and it ISN'T about money, ots about the government's APATHY. They can spend 10 billion dollars on one Space Shuttle mission that really doesn't make a difference or mean anything, but they can't put 100 thousand dollars into a poor community to help with, oh I don't know, maybe a food bank so hunger isn't a problem, maybe some job training to help people help themselves. Things like that are actual INVESTMENTS not just a "handout" as non compassionate people see it

[@benjamincoyle6494]

"Eyes of a Stranger" by Queensryche has the single greatest falsetto in the chorus for hair band metal... NO ONE can provide another one that is close

[@purplekat5864]

Yes, the chorus of Eyes of a Stranger is gorgeous, but I'm pretty certain Geoff wasn't using falsetto. He really wasn't going very high (for him) on the chorus, but it WAS beautifully done! Also, sorry, I don't mean to sound argumentative, but I don't believe QR can be termed a hair band"! They had hair, yes. But "hair band" is typically used to describe a band that doesn't have much else going for it except a lot of hair. This is NOT Queensryche. Sorry again, "hair band" triggers me.

[@ttrob93]

@Purple Kat hair metal means puss. Metal or chick metal like bon jokie, piss-on or anything brat Michaels was in, let's try to forget the nelsons....

[@purplekat5864]

@@ttrob93 OK, eww. Kind of a crude way to put it, but still not applicable.

[@purplekat5864]

@ As I said. They absolutely WEREN'T!

[@jacobmarriott7971]

Amazing as always

[@mettall1981]

Queensryche pronounced Qeensrike like bike and like spike

[@markrobirds7984]

Drop the lyrics of this song into the people's midst living under any large centralized government going back millennia and it will be applicable. Black Sabbath's War Pigs is relevant today like it was in 1970 and as it would have been in 1000 B.C. Nothing changes but the date on the calendar.

[@laudanum669]

QUEENSRYCHE=Subscribe. Please refrain from reacting to "Silent Lucidity" it's been done to death and most of us die hard fans hate that song as does the band.

[@willfrancis9100]

[@paintswithsound]

Hey there. I'm putting together a long-form video about Queensryche (30-60 minutes, estimated), focusing largely on their Mindcrime and Empire albums and how their social commentary remains uncomfortably relevant so many years later. Would you object to having part of your reaction video be featured in my own video? If so, I'll surely understand. Your reaction seemed so un-contrived and authentic, and perhaps indicative of many others' feelings on the topic. I'm probably not alone in saying I'd love to be a fly on the wall if you ever decide to explore the Mindcrime album in its entirety, as well :) Thanks so much for such a touching and genuine reaction to a truly (and unfortunately) third rail topic. Cheers!

[@rya2601]

Great song and amazing reaction.

[@johnthompson6374]

Thank you for your honesty, you are quite wise. Sadly, singing about corruption within government will keep your songs relevant for generations. The true cost of security is always the same, It always needs to be more than the bribe. Until we as a people take away the bribes to the law makers the system will not change. I wish you strength and courage. Peace/JT

[@stuartuhlhorn5324]

Great reaction, as usual. Sadly governments are corrupt everywhere. With people like you bringing love and peace, we still have hope. Try reacting to Dirty Boulevard by Lou Reed.

[@robgas7507]

Amazing song and as on point today as it was then. Can I recommend silent lucidity from them.

Empress great reaction.Great Song....Can you please do a video reaction to the song Money by the band Pink Floyd....Another great song from Pink Floyd...Thank you and have a good day

[@gepisar]

.... but Silent Lucidity...

[@casualguy393]

The lyric that includes "Education" could be a reference to the education others on the streets say is important, which is to learn how to survive. The whole song is about the government fleecing the population while pretending to be providing for the citizens, and how people are influenced from those on the streets to sell drugs or "hustle" and to disregard what the government presents as how to live. It is this dichotomy of living a certain way that makes it difficult for youth today to know which path to take.

[@dalelangley1604]

If it takes anyone more than 2 seconds to decide whether something is good, or bad, then things have gone terribly wrong in their lives !!!

[@justjeph6927]

My reaxtion is anger, having watched these empires rise and fall in the (un) United States. Definitely ahead of its time, like prophets sending out a warning, that only those with hearing ears could hear! Thank God we heard, and we're still listening. And thank you, Empress!🤠

Very good reaction beautiful. Please, please, please listen to more of their music. Songs: Road to madness, London, Killing words, Whisper. Pronunciation of Queensryche is Queensbike. Always look forward to your reactions. Thank you very much, so beautiful!!!!

[@purplekat5864]

I totally agree about Queensryche! To clarify a little further, the "ryche" part of Queensryche rhymes with bike. So, it's Queens-RIKE. Great reaction! Unfortunately I fear their song will be relevant for a LONG time.

[@jamesjarvis5018]

FYI sounds like Queensrike enjoy

Hi Ms. Empress, I like Queensryche.. For something more upbeat try Boy Meets Girl's "Waiting For A Star To Fall".. They wrote a couple of songs for Ms. Whitney Houston.. ♠W.G.

The 80's kids were left to their own devices. Now that generation is legalizing drugs. I was 16 in 82 when AXl Rose arrived in LA. Most of my friends were dealers of all drugs in the first computer designed communities during white flight in Orange county Ca. Guns was a reflection of that time and most of us are lucky to still be here. Most of my old friends are dead and we all got kicked out of school. No one helped
