Queensrÿche - Chris DeGarmo 1986

I worked at Factoria Cinemas in Bellevue, WA in the mid '80's. As a HUGE Queensrÿche fan I was stoked the first time I saw them come in. Since they would come in fairly regularly, I decided to keep my video camera nearby. One day I saw the En Force mobile in the parking lot...then waited for Chris to leave. I asked him if I could video him walking to his car, but instead he asked me my name & gave me a personal message. What a great (and super talented) guy!

Just wanted to let you know I shared this with the degarmo family and they loved it

Oh wow, that’s awesome! Thanks for sharing. Brought a big ole smile to my face.

Chris always will be the coolest member of Queensryche fame.

I met CDG a few times when he was in QR. ALWAYS a gentleman and always asked me more questions than I asked of him!! Great guy

[@musemuser777]

When Degarmo left, it was all downhill for Queensryche... Miss your songwriting & solos Chris... 🔥🎸🔥

[@snowmanfl]

The band was never the same without him……

[@OpheliaDarkling]

Rad ride. Miss that dude. He's always been living his best life

Love Queensryche but I love that Goat more!

I used to live in the apartments at W. Lk. Sammamish Pkwy and Leary Way in Redmond and Chris would come flying by all the time. Met him at the nearby 7/11. Love the band. Love this car.

[@tomsawyer8801]

What a cool man...

[@HeavyMetalTom]

I used to see it ...drive on 24th on walk home from Interlake 1986/7

[@Lady.Luthien]

No, Chris, YOU kick ass!

[@lh1678]

0:24 Unbeknownst to you is that his "actual" car was that Blue 4-door Dodge Diplomat he was eyeballing walking off and not that GTO.

[@lh1678]

Cue camera fade- They both get in the "Blue Bomber" and proceed to rip massive donuts in the parking lot. SIKE!!

[@dizino]

Haha, right. What is true tho is that I missed Scott Rockenfield walking to his car on that same day. Only have video of him driving by (in the passenger seat) in a light blue Mazda RX7...not nearly as cool & you can't tell it's him.

[@lespaulcustom7309]

Man that right there was awesome. Wonder if he still has that ride.

[@QnRyche]

No

[@christinadaily185]
