Ken Brookins - Late 80's early 90's my friend, Freddie Woods, a tall black man from Detroit was a drummer in a local band & a DJ at KOMP a rock station in Vegas for years. One of the biggest and baddest head bangers I ever knew and an AWESOME radio personality! Biggest fan of KISS i ever knew, too. His skin color was irrelevant to me. In fact, we had been hanging out for a couple of years when one day I said to him, "OMG! Freddie you're a black man!". He replied, " You just noticed that?". "Actually, yes" I replied. We both laughed about that for a long time afterwards. When he would play the song "Hot Cherie" by Hardline at KOMP during his shift, that was a cue for me to come by the station with a bottle of Gewertztiminer (sp?) wine. He got a lot of "love" from the white chicks always until he married one. We had so much fun hanging out back then. Then, as is now, skin color means nothing to me. It's the person inside that matters. Ken Brookins, keep on rocking!
@SuperGorak7 жыл бұрын
welcome to the world of skin-color-doesn't-matter; and "black" is a strange word for a culture (which is shaped passively by slavery and Jim Crow) rather than a race. As a white guy who is also into this music, I feel like I share some assets of the "black" culture despite my taste in music, but I don't really need to elaborate on this, man. Don't feel weird.

I wasn't wheelchair bound, but when the horror is trapped in your head, you can't escape it. I'm now 38 years post injury and have accomplished more than I ever thought I could have. "Now I'm moving forward and I'm never looking back," powerful words I've lived. Music has power and Metal has driven me forward and classical music and jazz allows me to chill out. Bottom line, never quit on yourself, never stop, never say never! Thanks Queensryche, I've chosen to be the "Best I Can."- US ARMY Veteran, ENGINEERS!

Has a guitar player songwriter myself and fan of them since their first album, I think one of the things that made them a truly great band is that everyone in that band knew their place and worked to make the song the star. The solos weren't over done, the drums were right where they should be, the bass filled in the low end perfectly and Tate delivered the lyrics and melodies with perfection. The other thing that made them stand out from a lot of other bands of their era was that they were actually writing songs about something besides just partying and tits. They took a lot of heat early on being labeled as iron maiden copycats, but I think they did their own thing and had their own sound. I saw them live for the empire album tour and they sounded spot on with the album live. That album had a lot of production in it, but the fact they were able to pull it off live very convincingly it is a testament to how good they were as a band. Still blows my mind that Geoff Tate was a damn smoker. That's probably half the reason he can't hit a lot of those notes anymore.

It sucks ass that the first progressive metal band that wrote the most thought provoking, mind-expanding music has parted ways. Geoff Tates' vocals crushed everyone and still do. And Chris DeGarmos' guitar work and songwriting stand alone. Metal has a vitality of its own and has taken music to the extreme ; it cannot get any harder, faster, technical, emotional nor progressive. That is why it is the sickest form of music humans can create.

After a Car Crash in Little Rock Arkansas back in 1997 that broke both of my legs and was forced to a Wheelchair for a while with casts on both of my legs. I was told that I would probably never walk again and this was my life going forward. I contemplated Suicide and just ending myself until a former friend made me start listening to this track over and over again. It gave me the Strength to Fight back and take my life back. I stared Death in the face but I didnt let death take my life or the life that I live now. In the Verse I wont be torn between the man in the Chair and the man in my dreams, I'm going to melt the 2 men into 1. That gave me the strength and the power to come back from that part of my life and now I'm walking and have been since 1999. I have a 15yr old daughter and living in Florida. I'm truly being the Best I Can

Thank you for creating this song, guys. Tuning into it now as I'm on my job hunt. The lyrics and music are pumping me up, and reminds to keep pressing forward, even amidst this this crazy pandemic. I have plenty to offer an employer (experience, skills, aptitude, etc..) and I'm not going to give up; I can't.

Mindcrime may have been a masterpiece, but this one was the most powerful album they ever released. Lyrically, vocally and sound.

This song reminds me of my friend William, shot in a drive by shooting. He's in a wheelchair, after surviving a head wound. Wow. What a man, what a talent he has, William is amazing! So is this tune, thanks guys!
