[@KristinStarkey]

You guys are AMAZING! It was a honor to sing with you guys! Thanks for having me!

[@patmullen7597]

You and the entire band killed this.

[@kevbob]

you sound GREAT 👍

[@TheMusicalSchizo]

You DESTROYED on this one, Kristin. Awesome work! :)

[@RobReich]

Great performance!

[@bobjohnson5218]

Thanks for doing the song. Glad I listened to it!!

[@Topjunkie-r4s]

Can we get some applause for the Excellent backing vocals?

[@Oklahoma-Dreaming]

I agree. They might even be better than the original and those were terrific.

[@rocknforu]

Backing vocals were BADASS!!!!

[@erwinstada1811]

👍😃👏👏👏👏😃👍

[@DonCummins-kf3eo]

​@@rocknforuagree!! 💯💯💯

[@CombatVeteranUSNAVY]

Yes, they absolutely deserve it!

[@MaxInTheClouds]

As a longtime Queensrÿche fan, I applaud this version 🖐💪

[@jamesstegemoeller9069]

Truth!!! This was 👍

[@celticc9580]

I kinda fell out with them around 95, but Rage, Mindcrime, Empire and Promised Land have got to be my top 4 listened to albums of all time.

[@MaxInTheClouds]

@@celticc9580 I tend to feel, in general terms, that the first albums of most great musicians have been somehow better than the later ones.

[@I_am_ElCapi]

The Queen of the Ryche is proud🤘🏼❤️

[@a2ndopynyn]

Same! Very well done.

[@RacerX888]

A band that can nail a Queensryche song to perfection is a mind-blowing thing to see!

[@metalmami7862]

Yes, Geoff Tate is the greatest of all times. They did a good job. But no one can nail unless they are Queensrÿche.

[@tommynoble3428]

Richie playing the ESP to be extra authentic to DeGarmo/Wilton is...chef's kiss.

[@fabgaz3794]

fuckin hell that tone is gorgeous gotta test some ESP new axe :O

[@celticc9580]

First thing I noticed too 😂

[@bradstephens2175]

@@fabgaz3794 The new USA ESP models are bomb. I have 3 and haven't picked up a beloved Charvel in quite awhile...

[@kalaalefaio5108]

Right!

[@hiitsme9042]

Absolutely cracking - just had to get my foam green ESP the Mirage Deluxe 1980' off the wall and jam along

[@4dmind]

Superb performance on everyone's part. Let's hear it for enunciation. Great vocals, lead and backing, and flawless instrumentation.

[@texastank9413]

Queensryche is one of my all time favorite bands. I grew up in the 80's and grew up with them. And this cover is 🔥

[@CombatVeteranUSNAVY]

Yes, you're right.

[@slapittywapitty8173]

Same here. Excellent! ✅

[@potatolew4495]

Me too, I will be 48 in September 2024. I still listen to the Mindcrime and Empire albums weekly.

[@savatagedsoul]

The lead guitarist…dang…nailed it! 🤘🏻

[@Coachesser]

The ESP guitar. The perfect backing vocals. Awesome!

[@jeffPATS22]

What a voice! The lead singer nailed that song. OMG! Gave me the chills. Love it.

[@Celticsaint777]

Everyone involved nailed it. Great band and great backing vocals.

[@kenbrown5449]

I couldn't stop smiling through the whole song! WOW!!! Damn right it gives the chills!

[@batperez700]

First time I hear Kristin Starkey and she made a HUGE impression! Awesome voice!

[@crazywhofan6676]

Her band Temperance just released an album and it's really cool.

[@boots_33]

Jump over to her channel and check out her cover of Tonight We Ride by Unleash the Archers. She nails it perfectly!!

[@wonkastudio-johnny]

she definitely kicks ass !

[@markeemark85]

Nailed it , Vocal Harmonies are spot on

[@RobertJMitchell2012]

Band Geeks doing Empire in its entirety with Kristin. Wouldn't that be something?! I love love love this version of Jet City Woman.

[@robpennington9237]

You got my up vote on that!

[@chrisglass6891]

Got my vote also

[@HuyNguyen-HG]

Performance was so dope Geoff Tate would be impressed!!

[@Doomchild2XL]

Yes. please!

[@BensBlades]

The band sounds AMAZING!!!🔥🎸❤️🤘

[@adamgoad4131]

There’s some Cher in her voice and I’m not mad about it. Great job everyone!

[@shanetowne6530]

I've always thought Queensryche was underrated. Empire is an epic album. Great job with the song.

[@Tatted-ne7tu]

As a fan who grew up nursing on QR, bravo to everyone. That was splendidly performed. I never would have imagined the vocals done any other way but Geoff’s but she did an excellent interpretation in a way that sounded her own and not Lounge Actish. I’ll be sure and check her out.

[@davemieze9021]

The tones are amazing. The vocals. The track picks.

[@danieladdison5731]

After the third listen I am still blown away. Awesome vocals from Kristen. I am gonna play the Empire album the rest of the day!!!

[@demonslayer9016]

gdamn put my hairs on end, this was my gen music great jobs folks, queenrsyche ftw

[@biltrex]

Absolute perfection! A cover that honors the original and gives a new spin with those vocals. What more could one ask for? This is just glorious.

[@GoldenNinja50]

Excellent!!

[@erwinstada1811]

Yup.....👍😺👍

[@rogerk55]

That was (as always) excellent. Now get back to producing that Jon Anderson and the Band Geeks Blu-Ray :)

[@Urpoolboy59]

Ummm.....DAAY-AAM!! That gal has some pipes! Had to watch twice but all of 'em are singing back up right? Absolutely spot on. Flawless performance. Don't want to call it a cover. Too good. If these musicians are geeks then they are my new favorite geek band. Luv luv luved it!

[@whoguy4231]

Goosebumps ... Awesome to hear a woman sing it so well ... Oh Yeah 🤘

[@PagyBio]

amazing cover! amazing GUEST! She is a beast! I am speechless!

[@vinamerosa1923]

I don't wanna gush like a fan boy, ....but sheesh , her powerful depth and tone, OMG, so confident !!! ... Richie Ripping it ... Great job guys ... this is golden :) 🎸🎸❤❤

[@PlasticCogLiquid]

Yeah, she's got the power

[@RossanoMacchioni-gm4mg]

Bravo Castellano dal cognome italiano . Grande la contralto NEW Yorkese ora con gli italiani Temperance. Good job great Queensryche cover from Empire album 1990

[@John-d7g5k]

Phil did an excellent job channeling his inner Eddie Jackson Bass line was on point and more

[@michaeljquintana5863ROKXWORX1]

WOW!!! I have been a Queenryche fan since their very beginnings in Seattle Washington. I have to say that this is one of their best songs. As I understand the history it's a song that was written about Seattle itself and coming home from the long miles of touring. You guys did an amazing job with this. As a vocalist and guitar player myself in high school back in the dayz I can assure anyone that this is not an easy bar to match. The music alone is on a level that will stand the test of time of any Beethoven or Chopin concerto.bThen there's the unbelievable vocal stylings of Mr. Geoff Tate. What can I say... A legend. Give yourselves a round of applause people. I only listened to your rendition once thus far but I think you nailed it note for note!!! Incredible. I will listen to this many times and even if I hear anything not 100% on point it will still be an amazing tribute to an incredible band born and raised in Seattle Washington all those years ago. Thank you for your outstanding performance.

[@tigevon]

It was written by Chris for his girlfriend at the time who was a stewardess and a real "jet city woman"

[@bluenetmarketing]

Richie is the best! I like the voices in this.

[@southerncatfish4030]

Kristin Starkey done amazing job on vocals for this song. LOVE IT

[@mikewatts1533]

Thank you for showing some love for an Excellent Seattle band, Queensrÿche!!! They have many songs that are just asking to be covered. Thank you for sharing your skills and art with us.

[@xprs1257]

This is as good as the original!!! WOW!!!!!!!!!

[@Justin_Kipper]

Awesome vocals! Stoney Brook U. is the gift that keeps giving!

[@brianborstein8456]

That was incredible. I'm a huge Queensryche fan. I was a bit nervous about watching this, but you all did such a great job

[@matthewcallahan4437]

Absolutely awesome!!!!! And she is one hell of a singer!! 💯🙏👍🤘🤘

[@davidhandy8981]

Rockin it as usual...hey, is that Radar on bass!

[@charlesg.1207]

Such a challenging song. Great job!

[@abigailfolkerts2827]

Holy smokes!!!!! She has some pipes!

[@fallingleafmotion]

This sounds amazing. You guys crushed it. The lead guitars are 100% doing Degarmo justice, the tone is dead on and you nailed the solo. Nailed. The solo from this song is one of the best guitar solos of the last 50 years IMO. This is so good.

[@HypSpector]

@KristinStarkey

[@RhymesWithCarbon]

Proper and just use of an ESP mirage, what KILLER tone on Richies guitar!

[@DavidLPitman]

agreed. sweet!

[@jeddak]

Kristin was phenomenal. What a voice! Backing vocals were also superlative.

[@adriannorris1486]

Remarkable….you guys never disappoint!

[@paulieabq9264]

Amazing performance! Great musicians & Kristin……. DAMN!

[@Miles-To-Go]

One of my favorite Queensryche tunes and a fantastic cover!

[@richardwinchester2418]

They hit all the harmonies that’s fucking awesome!!!impeccable Job!!

[@stevebean1543]

Outstanding! Kristin IS incredible - and those backing vocals are really good, too.

[@wadestipp1833]

I've listened to this like 15 times now on my Logitech Z906 system. Super-tight band. The guitars are perfectly mixed and I love the tone - it's slightly different but I like different. Also the guitars sound a bit heavier in the pre-chorus, which I like. Bass sounds great. Drummer is spot on. Backing vocals are great. This is really an incredible rendition of a great song.

[@JJ-kf2uk]

Holy crap! Simply the best version of this song. Full stop.

[@johnmathews2958]

Just the fact this song is hard to pull off and many have failed miserably trying you guys did an amazing job and of course Kristen just nails it!! What a treat.

[@riphopfer5816]

This was absolutely incredible. This is a difficult song to cover without either sounding too dissimilar to the original or else as if one is trying to imitate their vocalist. But Kristin was true to herself, and still killed it. I was blown away by how much your backing vocals sounded like theirs! Richie, that solo was pure magic. You NAILED the tone of the original. Lastly, the production was ALSO incredibly faithful to the original! That was a near-perfect mix. This brought back some great memories. You guys are legends, you are.

[@kevinsimpson8336]

Yall are fantastic!!!!!!

[@jasonhoffheins1239]

That was unbelievable wow

[@choppingpenguin]

That was seriously fucking awesome! Every single member fully delivered, and the backing vocals were shockingly good. The lead vocals were top notch as well! 🤘

Just now seeing this, as an old school Queensryche fan, two thumbs up!

[@natalebabbo-gunplaanddioramas]

WOW! WOW! WOW! Amazing performance! I’m mesmerized! ❤

Andy Ascolese is quickly becoming one of my favorite drummers.

[@vintagetrk]

I can’t stop watching this cover. Y’all nailed the harmonies it sounded so rad.

[@sinussp9121]

Amazing, guys!! I didn't know I needed this song with a female voice, but you sound amazing!!! Thx and keep it coming!!

[@sinussp9121]

Had to give myself a thumbs up since the band shows no love to the comments...

[@DarkHaunter62]

Fantastic! Love the bass in the intro, Richie's solo, and the vocals are incredible. 🙂
