Queensryche - I Am I

[@carsandhealthtoddrosenzwei2661]

One of their many musical masterpieces. I really miss this old lineup :( They were just simply invincible and unmatched to this very day

[@diegomazzaron9191]

This is so true

[@ralphreinhardt6020]

I concur 100%.

[@johnanderson2112]

Agreed

[@sideswipe1261]

SCREAMING IN DIGITAL!

[@Hulkamaniac418]

This entire album is so freakin good. Production is about as good as it gets

[@StephanieSmith-e9k]

Still love this music 🎶 🎵 ❤️ 🙌 ❤❤

[@XNR750]

Rare combination of class ,innovative composing , deep meaningful lyrics and overwhelming quality ,this is the legacy true old queensryche left to the world ,lost but not forgotten

[@robpremo6611]

One of the best bands to never get credit for their greatness

[@matsnilson7727]

Definitely not a popular opinion, but for me Promised Land is Queensryche's second best album, beaten only by the sheer perfection that is Mindcrime. It may not be very "metal", but it's melodic, dark, moody and experimental. I f-in love it!

[@silverylight7]

Yes! Just today I 've listened to Mindcrime and this amazeballs album to chill out because it's one of the most fervent band in the World!

[@Michael-jw6et]

I agree that Promised Land is their second best album, but Rage For Order would be first for me. Mindcrime is overrated in my opinion.

[@Lunarsight]

I'd probably put Empire first, which dabbled in many genres, while remaining cohesive as an album and commercially accessible. I think I'd go with Mindcrime second, and Promised Land or Rage For Order third.

[@jerisbrisk7519]

It may not be a popular one, but it is the correct one in my estimation. 😂

[@joaquinlezcano2372]

Sir, this is pretty metal, indeed.

[@flyjohnson711]

This song is a masterpiece

[@shannonpeters889]

the more I listen to this album, the more I think of Rage for Order. Again like '86, they experimented, revisited and succeeded.. great album!

[@ehcyrsneeuq]

The LAST album of the GREAT QUEENSRYCHE 😢💀

[@jakelane5567]

NeueRegel Agreed, my interest in the band ended after this album, but to this day, I still wear out Operation Mindcrime and Empire.

[@scout805]

The band recognized how "radio friendly" or "mainstream" they were becoming and totally went another direction. So if you didn't stay connected to the BRILLIANCE that was Queensryche, you honestly were a fair weather picky hit song loving poser!

[@OldTimeDJ]

Agreed.

[@giorgianadragoi9603]

Great song & performing, with a powerful message❣️💪👏👏👏

[@stephenelkins8045]

Great song, great message. Saw them back in the 90's. An awesome show. Their drummer had the most impressive drum kit, and played every bit of it.

[@echoeman]

This song perfectly predicted the future.

I really wish these guys were still writing music together.

[@myndcrime346]

THE Mighty Mighty Queensrÿche! 🤘🏼😎🤘🏼

Why have I never seen this video. This is their last great album imho. Geniuses at work

This song is so weird & eclectic. I love it!

[@zakkhale181]

Now THIS is Queensryche!

[@matthewvoss7365]

I saw them in the summer of 1995-PL Tour. I won't touch anything after Promised Land.

[@theshadowboxer]

This song still gets me every single time.

[@ryanday633]

In 1994 people were listening to more aggressive type metal like Cannibal Corpse, Down and Corrosion Of Conformity which are all great but by this time in Queensrych career they really nailed it with Promised Land. It's moody, dark and melodic and is really the soundtrack for 1994. I'm glad they survived the Grunge era. I first heard this song on my friends stereo at a party back in 1995 it was just background noise to most people but I was listening intently and the next day I went to my local mall and bought it at the record store there. I'm my opinion it's really the final magic that Queensrych made.

[@goyo69]

Damn! They most have been dizzy for weeks after making that video back then! Long live the original Queensryche line-up! 2021 still love them.

[@MeesterSteefy]

This tour, with Type O Negative opening was my first concert. They were playing arenas and had the most incredible stage show. What an amazing first concert all the way around. Since I can't have Type O anymore, it would be nice if Geoff and Co could reconcile at some point. The second time I saw them it was at a way smaller venue, but still fantastic. I miss it.

[@avfpv157]

Same for me! Thought it was an odd pairing for a tour, but I loved both bands back then and still do today. Queensryche's stage show for that tour was elaborate and amazing. Just to think they were putting on that show back then almost nightly!

[@joshuamitcham1519]

Same. Saw them in Houston during that tour. I still have the tickets. Peter ripped his shirt off wiped his face and threw it into the crowd.. girls went nuts and my late friend Megan Barry came out with it. RIP Megan..you were a badass bitch.😂

[@MarioBohorquezE]

The riff is so badass!!

[@ryanbenbow-zx2sd]

Because Chris degarmo is a awesome guitarist

[@inokisgamer]

This is my favorite Queensryche song. Its one of the best songs ever in my opinion. Before this I used to play Operation: Mindcrime a lot. Suite Sister Mary is my favorite off that album. The first concert I ever went to was the Queensryche tour in 1991. The show was awesome and the band remains one of my favorites.

[@anolaf]

The last good album with Geoff, imo. RIP original lineup. :(

[@jeffreycollins7297]

It's so terribly sad to have to agree with you. Such a tremendous band, they basically lost it after Chris left.

[@j2times2006]

Once Degarmo left it’s was all downhill. Still shocked

[@resatyurdakul6742]

I liked them better when there were 6 members

[@frednugent2310]

Queensryche was a band that made every song into a masterpiece. Everything they produced was absolutely outstanding but I Am I was a song that was on another level when listening on acid.

[@stevearbogast8556]

Great cd!!! I need to dig it out again!!!

[@USMC2074]

Die hard Queensryche fan, Love all their music, Miss degarmo and Geoff. (Always wished geoff kept his hair too)

indeed idk why he shaved his hair

[@MWRush2112]

A epic masterpiece. Once Chris left, that was the end of Queensrÿche for me.

[@jaredadamengel]

this one got a lot of airtime on MTV back in the day. it's why this song always reminds me of John Sencio

[@howedelamitri]

This is the way the Game is played. Only through metaphor can you reach mass consciousness

[@rebelalliance171]

The production on this is freakin awesome

[@arjanhut3527]

In 1994 it was either death metal or alternative rock that friends were listening to. Played this a lot, mostly alone. The intro is brilliant, super big sound, fat guitars, jangly melodies ... First time I've ever seen this video. Thanks for nothing, MTV.

[@Woblesavvy]

Arjan Hut MTV showed this video. I remember catching it a few times. I was barely in my teens.

[@ps-yk8su]

It was on Headbanger's Ball. But HB was gone by 1995. Enter SuperRock. The 3rd alternative music show on MTV (after 120 Minutes and Alternative Nation).

[@magorzataworoch1002]

[@kostasxrysogelos]

My personal favourite album by the band.

[@AbsalomMelchizedek]

No names, no titles, no fictions... Just I Great lesson. Very relevant to the spirit of the time with all the false egos running a muck.

[@ryanchapman543]

I believe I remember this from either Headbangers' Ball or Rock Video Monthly Metal. Hugh Syme is an amazing artist, and Geoff Tate is a very versatile singer.

[@RycheRageForOrder]

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.

[@carsandhealthtoddrosenzwei2661]

Amen ! Well said.

“I Am”’from the Bible translates straight to “To Be”, which translates into “Existence”. All of it. God is God is God…

[@ClarenceDoskocil]

What can they say? That new type of "spin" washing machine technology was cutting edge back in '94. Great album, nice counterpoint to Rage for Order, my all-time favorite.

[@dino.manzella]

Curious; Is there a chance someone has a better quality version of this video? Being that the posting source is Queensryche, I was wondering if a better quality version could be uploaded from their archives.

[@Nixter69er]

Geoff still has it. Look up some of his stuff..

[@raulchavero1340]

Without Tate and DeGarmo is not Queensrÿche, the group must be all the Masters together to be The Master Group, its a shame.

[@Michael-jw6et]

This album marked the end of Chris DeGarmo in the band, and thus, the end of Queensryche. After he left, it became very obvious who was the main song writer.

[@Th3Kn0w1ngSt4r]

You seem to forget Hear In The Now Frontier

[@akashafuhr]

He started with Long hair! Hes very very very Cool Lyricly this band is Freaking AMAZING!

[@iceclimber189]

And here I thought that the video for "Time Stand Still" was trippy.

[@daniellagoldiano6247]

Geoff has not completely lost his voice.....he still has a great singing presence. He is somewhat older and it has been altered....but not lost. People age....do you think you are getting out unchanged? He will always be one of the most miraculous voices on the scene and overlooked. If you ask me.

[@daniellagoldiano6247]

He still brings it!

[@MrFrendan]

Daniella Goldiano very creative man. But he has not evolved by hanging on that old voice. Robert Plant does way better as a man twice his age.

[@MarioLamRedRebel]

I Hurricane do you know him in person ?

[@metallion0738]

Frintin. B.S Robert Plant can't scream like he use to hater, he sings good on some Zeppelin songs, but the ones like the imigrant song and black dog not so much.

[@jeandista]

I totally Agree...

[@j800r]

Rage is nothing like The Warning, Mindcrime is nothing like Rage, Empire is nothing like Mindcrime and Promised Land is nothing like Empire. Every album was different. That's why I hate people classifying them as metal. Geoff had/has the right idea. Queensryche was evolution. Experimentation with genre and sounds. Chris was glue who connected Geoff's progressive mind with the other guy's metal.

[@superbatfirenze]

i hope they will put some new great album again..after this they actually kinda lost their way....was it because of chris de garmo departure',,?

Are you suggesting some are at peace with the argument and some stay for the fight... isn't "IT" conceptual if not quite literally both.

[@bmckenzie313]

They need to tour with the old line up before people die , leave your egos behind and get a major tour manager not the wife of the singer

[@MasterJediDude]

I remember all of the hype behind this album. Back before MTV turned to crap, they ran commercials about this album and aired a live release event. They gathered a bunch of fans together and let them hear the music first and watch the video in tandem with the T.V. audience. Needless to say, it bombed pretty bad. People were expecting another Mindcrime or Empire and you could see the disappointment in their faces. Don't get me wrong, I'm a big fan. But it was a turning point for the band.

[@ps-yk8su]

EMI probably told them to change their sound because of the new direction of radio, MTV, and the rock music business

[@MasterJediDude]

@@ps-yk8su yeah, namely grunge. But they doubled-down on that sound all of the way through to: Hear in the Now Frontier, Q2K and Tribe (basically running Chris DeGarmo off). It’s just sad, but at least the “sans-Tate” version of the new band is a return to form.
