Queensrÿche: I Remember Now/Anarchy X/Revolution Calling (Cover)

[@davidzelden2649]

This is a pretty good cover. I saw these guys about 8 times in from '88 to '89. What a show.

[@CayenneTravels]

Thank you for putting all the time into doing these, and doing them so well. This Mindcrime series is like a master-course in some of the best-written guitar music ever.

[@MATTITUDE]

i second this

[@briankohu435]

Oh yeahhh man, awesome band of their time. Great album so well put together just every song telling a timeline of one man's mission and experiences. You really did them such an honour to cover this song, thank you very cool...

[@chadcorp2ww273]

Wow...Alex your a great guitar player. Many Many kudo's

[@timpatz1994]

There is one of the greatest albums ever made, great to rekindle the appreciation, thanks for the musicianship, you should be very proud.

[@ramonroriz2006]

Amazing! Sounds just like Queensryche!

[@natespringer9934]

This encourages me to practice so much.

[@dhannegan]

Dude that was great. Arguably the most creative guitar duo of the 80's. Nicely done, much respect.

[@gameplayhome6557]

THE perfect pitch GUY!!! I got this album on my first orders with Columbia House when I was young.. Good old days... I'm glad I found your channel... All the best to you and please NEVER stop... you put light in our life man ;) tytyty

[@markstarsmore4378]

Sounds awesome. What a fantastic song and spot on playing.

[@damiankirkwood7924]

man this is so sick, great tone, great playing great edits

[@ArunasMe]

Maaaaaan its plain obvious you can play, but damn the tone is so juicy good

[@powerslave88]

Arunas Haha! Thanks man! The Axe Fx is a thing of wonder \m/

[@cretacci]

@@powerslave88 What amp are you using with the FX? I have an FX too and would love some pointers on how you got your tone.

[@markusaurelius777]

@@powerslave88 I've heard a few Axe Fx units, and every time I hear it, I want one !!! Nice job Alex. Love your sound and technique.

[@marcovanagterveld1443]

Saw Geoff Tate performing the whole album last week, amazing! One of the best concept albums ever, started playing it myself again. Great job man!

[@powerslave88]

Oh ace! Glad it was awesome and thank you for watching!

[@IanEdwards]

As far as I can tell that's just about perfect. OM is in my top 10 best albums ever.

[@powerslave88]

Ian Edwards Thank you so much!

[@damiangallego2388]

Been using your videos to learn this songs. Amazing tone and playing, you rock man!

[@JeffBailey1999]

So glad I gound your vids again Alex🤘🤘 Wow the tone and attention to detail is perfect!!! Love the camera angles to see both parts at the same time. Stelllar job on these !!!

[@powerslave88]

Jeff Bailey Thanks so much for the compliments and taking time to watch!

[@chemicle]

Really well done Alex, one of my favorite compositions and you crushed it :)

[@powerslave88]

Thank you so much!

[@christophert7251]

Alex, outstanding QR cover! This must have taken you awhile to dissect and get it correct. I never even noticed some of the double stops they were playing until I saw you play it. I must have watch this video about 20 times so far and I am still impressed at the dedication it took to nail this whole album.

[@sgwink]

Fantastic find for me - selfishly speaking. Thanks Alex! Looks like I get free lessons. So well done - if you know, you know.

[@jlfgoogle]

Hell ya...........way go.......you did awesome job............Saw Queensryche couple time..........Saw them in San Fran........kick ass show

[@tom95076]

Thank you for this.. loved it and all your others.

[@ssecor40]

Come all you Rychians, show Alex some props!

[@Caltops78]

You put a lot of heart into these video. Great stuff 🤘🏻

[@powerslave88]

Thanks for checking all these out mate, really glad you enjoyed them!

[@teamgoon]

I really enjoy watching you play these covers. You're so precise and flawless!

[@powerslave88]

+Ron Argueta Thank you Ron!

[@ryanbenbow-zx2sd]

​@@powerslave88You made revolution calling Look easy. I have tryd me self. It ain't easy

[@ronnieroberts40]

You are the best Queensryche guitar cover ever!

[@RyanBenbow]

There is no such thing dumb bell

[@davidrapant6398]

Dude this is AWESOME!!!!! I want to learn these songs so bad! Your vids are gonna help ALOT! Maybe by the time i make my way through these and learning my ear will get better. These are hard to figure out. Anarchy X is the first one I'm working on. What an opening to an Album. Its just so EPIC! Everything about this album kicks ass and your playing is phenom. I was figuring out Resistance and came across that video you did. Then i was on guitarlessons360 and got talking with a guy that recommended i watch your videos cause I was looking to learn some Queensryche. Awesome man!!

[@ronnieroberts40]

Greatest album ever!🤘

[@bbaltizar70]

Excellent job!!

[@TenaciousC71]

This has far fewer likes then it deserves. Just amazing.

[@dredd1966]

Awesome! Absolutely perfect!

[@CamJamsTube]

Wow!!! Phenomenal!!!!

[@strivingx67]

Mind Blowing! So damn good. Loved watching this!

[@powerslave88]

Bruce H Wow thanks so much! Don’t forget to check out my covers of the rest of the album and feel free to head to my channel to see all sorts of other covers! Thanks again!

[@nestleigh1]

awesome tune, awesome work...

[@powerslave88]

nestleigh1 Thank you so much!

[@ronnieroberts40]

Awesome as usual, every time I watch your videos I am so impressed by your talent & skill. keep it up brother!

[@powerslave88]

+Ronnie Roberts Thanks Ronnie! I appreciate that, glad you enjoy!

[@johnanderson2112]

This is so incredibly badass

[@powerslave88]

Thanks John, that’s much appreciated! 🤘🤘

[@luizlopes4162]

Great job!

[@DieDona]

the base tone is just exactly like queensryche... how did you manage to get it?? amazing guitar play, man, i hope to one day play something like it =) (les paul fan btw)

[@markusaurelius777]

Excellent!

[@kaffeice7]

holly fuck man !!! this is such a JOY to watch !! i mean, ppl usually listen to music but this.. this is insane! QR was one of a kind , like , theres electronic music and theres Depeche Mode, and like theres metal and theres Queensryche .. that solo man, aa..... i mean 5.37-5.40 !! that has to be the most random solo part i ever heard in my life! i assume its Degarmos creation, he cant be human..

[@powerslave88]

Thank you so much! Means a lot to me - lots of hard work went into it and I'm glad it brings smiles to people's faces! Thank you for watching :)

[@JohnRobbfl]

That's just awesome Alex!

[@powerslave88]

Nice one mate, thanks for watching! \m/

[@JackPecker911]

Really enjoying these queensrÿche covers, keep up the good work!

[@powerslave88]

+JackPecker911 Thank mate! Glad you like 'em, feel free to share if you like!

[@JackPecker911]

+Alex Ward I've been subscribed to you for a long time so of course man :) Also if you have the time could you do a "I don't believe in love" cover as well? I can't learn them damn intro properly on guitar.

[@powerslave88]

+JackPecker911 thanks for the long lasting support! This vid is part of a series I'm working on covering OM in full, so IDBIL will be on the way! I've done a collab cover of it before with the wonderful Okjin Han - you can find it on my channel in the 'Queensryche playlist' :)

[@JackPecker911]

+Alex Ward Sweet! Looking forward to the new one and I will check out the cover you already have on there.

[@itsverygreen532]

Awesome ... as always.

[@Twobarpsi]

Total perfect6🤘🤘🤘!!

[@rocktopuss9279]

Love it!

[@hishamdahud]

Again, you absolutely nailed it. Mindcrime cover band? I got all of Scott’s drum parts memorized. 🤓

[@RyanBenbow]

Yup he sure did

[@z6705]

FANTASTIC!!!!!

[@eddyweloveu]

Excellent

[@SayonaraSixString]

Very nice! Great playing, tone, arrangement, editing! Fantastic!

[@SayonaraSixString]

I love cover videos that put in their time!

[@detonationcruster]

You deserve 1000000 likes. Hands down.

[@nikolakojic]

Just WOW 😳

[@axmancometh5959]

Wow, I'm sitting in our studio with another guitarist and we play dozens of QR songs were both very impressed, your spot on and we play a lot of QR, I began playing at age 14 when I heard their first EP The Warning had just been released also. I learned so many of the basic fundamentals of playing guitar from those 2 records. Proper palm muting, ect. But I would be willing to to bet my buddy here but he won't bet me that your using a Fractal unit? I know that tone because I use Fractal AX8 for everything. My main tone is very similar I'm thinking we probably use the same amp, cab models but there's to many models and combinations that wouldn't be possible, maybe the same cabinet though because we are very similar in dialing in that Mindcrime tone, I do believe your a bit closer to it than me though. Maybe you get a chance you can settle this for us. Lol. Great video BTW, good to see someone besides us play it so spot on, this is the first video I think I've commented on so yea totally great job.

[@powerslave88]

Wow thanks so much to you both! Huge compliment and I very much appreciate you taking the time to comment and watch - I'm a huge QR fan and getting it right (or as close as possible) is something I feel very strongly about - the nuance is what makes them special and it's important to try and replicate it I feel! And yes, you win haha! I'm using the Friedman HBE here if I remember rightly, though I gravitate more towards the Dirty Shirley these days - probably some Marshall cab here too! Thanks again, I really appreciate it!

[@axmancometh5959]

I had no doupt, you know when you hear equipment that you also use, I use the British plexi with marshal 4/12 and a mesa 2/12 just to give a little more depth to the bottom with the mesa. I think my friend also knew but didn't want to admit it because he's very old school and uses his vintage Marshalls we both used for years. I'm trying to get him to make the switch to a Fractal unit it's so much easier to record and use in the studio and to do more complex Recording techniques like reamping and having so many options to create your own signature sound on our original tunes. I watched more of your videos last night their all great work, I can appreciate the work you must have put into making each one. Rock On Alex

[@loveguitars]

Hey Alex, Superb!!!

[@powerslave88]

Cheers Mark!

[@JoeBonez]

Late to the party, but masterfully played.

[@carltonec]

Sounds good. Funny, I just got done recording a full band version of Anarchy X, and was mixing it today. :)

[@powerslave88]

+Carlton Chase Sweet! I'll check it out once you've got it done, I bet its awesome!

[@carltonec]

I wouldn't say awesome, but close enough for my needs. :)

[@patrickwurst1324]

wow. amazing job. spot on. I know immolate to the party but just came across your videos on all the songs. best I've seen yet and the tone is spot on. which HBE did you use. ? I've been on a Queensryche kick for the past few weeks. lol. you don't still have the patch or settings to share do you by chance. lol. and again. amazing job.

[@jakeson]

Awesome!!! ^^

[@knockedandreadyoutdoors7134]

Hey Alex....what are you using to get that sound...Mesa Boogie...Marshall............that's a smokin sound...I used to play years ago, but have given it up now...just play every now and then....But when I saw this, I got the fever again.... Great Stuff..>Brother

[@powerslave88]

+Jamie D Thanks Jamie, thats quite an amazing compliment to say that this has got your itch back! I'm using the Friedman HBE amp within the Axe Fx 2 coupled with a 70's Marshall Cab sim. It is the best sound I have EVER got through any amp - would love to play a real Friedman, but to be honest, the Axe FX version is blowing my mind clean off! Thanks again for watching!

[@knockedandreadyoutdoors7134]

Yes... Its a killer sound... I would of loved to had that back in my day... Had 2 Marshall 4x12 cabinets... That would of killed it with that sound... Plus the ole Jackson would of loved that.... Thanks for getting back with me... 

[@powerslave88]

No problem mate - the Friedman is essentially a modded Marshall kinda thing anyway - worth checking out!

[@powerslave88]

@Elipieo Absolutely amazing - it is my main live rig and my backup is the AX8 - swear by 'em. I use the Axe Fx direct to front of house but use Matrix power amps/cabs (sometimes powered FRFR, sometimes traditional NL series cabs) to provide an onstage sound (and something to give me that 'feel') when I'm not using In Ears. Sounds deadly!

[@nahnotsomuch2292]

So, just saw QR for my 10th time last night. 7 times with Tate. 3 with Todd. Todd was on point last night for sure. Even with a cold. So, I don't believe I had my Axe-FX last time they were in town. So, of course, now I'm wanting to put together some patches for a few albums and start re-learning how to play a bunch of stuff off Rage, Mindcrime, etc. Alex any chance you'd be willing to share your patch settings?

[@rockypepin4524]

great!!

[@eddiejames2635]

When I listen to the song I listen to this one and watch

[@alphaomega5292]

How did you get that lead tone? Are you on a JCM800?

[@chrismurphy4907]

This is fucking brilliant!

[@jimb0y12]

Great work. Any tabs?

[@brazcause929]

Are there any tabs that could help me play this? I’ve looked for ever but couldn’t find any

[@cleanhonda333]

Damn!

[@marcsorensen1184]

Curious...what were other peoples reactions the first time you put this album on...cranked it up and this intro starts off then Revolution Calling? Maybe the most epic beginning to an album ever.

[@flatstheflounder2884]

Oh yeah, for sure! With Anarchy-X alone, I knew I was gonna be in for one hell of an album, and it's still my absolute favorite by far!

[@senfcustard]

Sweet licks, You bastard...….. :D

[@natespringer9934]

Wow what an amazing cover sad you don't have tabs but that's ok.

[@natespringer9934]

NVM I found the tab awesome cover dude you should do the whole album and make one video of all of them back-to-back-to-back

[@mattysmusicworld746]

Nice job.... This may already be in the comments but... I assume that's Wilton in the top frame and Degarmo below? Is that true for the whole video? Thanks.

[@powerslave88]

Thanks for watching man! That’s a good question - I’m not able to rewatch right now but it sounds like the kind of mindset I might have adopted at the time! There may be some exceptions to the rule whenever a showcase bit comes up but I can’t remember 😂This was the days when I was limited to how many things I could show at the same time so I did my best to feature it all - just resulted in a bit of a busy watch 😂

[@0pher545]

Fucking awesome!

[@ArunasMe]

The tone is chunky as PHUK, if its not a secret, could you tell how much do you pan your guitars L/R ?

[@powerslave88]

Arunas Thanks man! Not a secret and also totally not scientific haha! For these covers because the original track is in the background (therefore the original guitars) I don't double track here, just single guitar track for degarmo and single guitar track for Whip panned about 35%-40% each. Lead spots are panned less severely with harmony sections about 10-20%. Hope that helps!

[@ronnieroberts40]

The only problem I have is you changed your solo a little bit, you used the Sammy bar!

[@nestleigh1]

everyone has different opinions, but, I was telling a ( younger ) guy at work that Appetite for Destruction and Operation Mindcrime were the 2 greatest albums ever made ( in my opinion of course )...

[@nestleigh1]

gotta throw Rage for Order in there too as one of the greatest, but then again I'm a Queensryche diehard fan ;)

[@powerslave88]

Oh man, Rage is probably my favourite! Neue Regel is probably my fave track of all time! Thanks for watching dude!

[@nestleigh1]

I will remember and gonna get close are 2 of my favorite Ryche tunes, can't seem to find the original video for gonna get close :(

[@Moisty_BusDriver]

i cant get my guitar to sound like the main part. Someone please help so i can play this slice of heaven!

[@joslte]

The only thing missing from this one is one of your trademark sweaters.

[@powerslave88]

Haha! Thank you so much for watching man!

[@steventalavera2381]

The first "5" QR discs including the EP, not much better

[@thunderstorms2571]

This guy has DeGarmos links down. Awesome!

[@thunderstorms2571]

I'm Dr. X. THE MAN WITH THE CURE.

[@thunderstorms2571]

This guy has mastered queensryche. Can he plan Randy Rhoades?

[@RyanBenbow]

No plan. Play

[@thunderstorms2571]

Your very good. You got DeGarmo down. What about Randy Rhoades? His links are far more challenging. Push yourself!

[@powerslave88]

Thanks for your comment! There’s all sorts on my channel
