[@ginnydileo5168]

Queensryche has been my favorite band since 1983. A lot of people say they're underrated and I don't think they're underrated, they're under recognized.

How is that progressive metal?...Thats NWOBHM or old school heavy metal

Yeah, operation mindcrime.....DO IT!

Still one of my fav albums but I always reordered it the way it was intended, NM156 as track one and the warning moves to before Roads to Madness.

Two of my favorite Queensryche songs are "Is Anybody Listening?" - the studio version/video Done years after this song, about mid career. And the live version of "Jet City Woman" at the Moore theater in Seattle. Done much later, Geoff had lost some of his range, but its better than the studio version. His voice still gives me goosebumps.

[@scottyb.8710]

Saw them five times - once for the Building Empires tour, twice for the Road to Promised Land tour, once for the Hear in the Now Frontier tour, and once for the Q2K tour. The Promised Land tour was, without question, the most amazing show I have ever seen to date.

[@HocusPocusFocus69]

Came back to this reaction once more. Your reaction never gets old, my man!

[@RobertLeija]

Queensryche: "Operation Mindcrime" an entire album based on a single story of politics, religion, deception, sex and violence. It's a fantastic concept album, all the songs and atmospheric instrumentals are just extremely good. Other bands have done concept albums but this one is way up there in creativity and popularity. Preston this should be your first full album review (if you haven't done it before) because it's so awesome you really do it a disservice to listen to individual songs out of context, you'll miss a lot of the meaning since each song references the last one. Give it some thought, I'm sure I wouldn't be the only one who would want this and I guarantee you will love it. Have a great one Preston and keep'em coming!!

[@acepaul407]

Seeing Geoff smoking was waaaaay weird. I think it was his way of dealing with touring. I really don't think he liked going out on the road, but I think he felt obligated to do so. I do know that he was really sensitive about that subject and it's one of those things you just didn't ask him about. Leave it at that.

[@Cesar-ld9mb]

hey man, could you react to some of the works of André Matos? He was a brazilian musician, he was a singer, composer, maestro and pianist. He unfortunately passed away 11 days ago and it was a shock for all of his fans world-wide and even people that just knew his bands by name... He played on bands such as Viper(1985-1991), the most famous one Angra(1991-2000), Shaman(2000-2006), then his solo career, besides another projects like Virgo, Symfonia and a project with the guys from an american prog metal band called Sieges Even. He was just 47 years old... He really loved his country and was proud to show the world what we're capable of musically, even with all the music degradation across the globe, he was persistent, yet with his death the media didn't care at all, at max a channel made a homage of 3 minutes, but nothing more than that... The politicians even less, it's pretty sad and if you could react to one or some of his work would be awesome and it would mean the world for his fans such as myself. My request is this one kzbin.info/www/bejne/sH6lZ3qviadogLs the song is from the album Holy Land(1996) or maybe Fairy Tale from Shaman live in 2003, the band he formed right after he left Angra kzbin.info/www/bejne/qmWzemV7l5t5qbM, I'd send you the album version of both but I'd like you to see André Matos and how his perfomance was. People might have another requests, I know you do a video per reaction, so it's up to you to decide which you want to do these are good ones in my opinion. It'd mean a lot if you do that.

He climbed The PA system .. Came to me , took my hand and stayed with me as the lead guitar was letting it flow .. He stayed the entire time with me !! .. I did see the worried look in the other band members lie he was going to fall .. They never missed a lick .. All that night I had interactions with every member .. I have always wondered ..

@@lorenzocitro720 I totally agree that mindcrime is a better album, but it's a concept album and deserves to be really listened to. (Or even better, watching the Operation: LIVECrime concert video). Empire has several stand alone singles that have mind-blowing, award winning production. The vocal performance on Jet City Woman is ridiculously good, switching from Geoff's low register to his high voice seamlessly, and the great bassline/tone.

He really is that good live. I saw them live in 2003 and he was still as powerful.

Hi. Much love and respect to you dude. It's always a pleasure to see someone appreciate outside their genre. 👍
