Queensryche is criminally underrated. One of my favorite 80s bands.

[@anduuhar]

Underrated? Lol what? I would hardly call being part of the Big Three of progressive metal along with Fates Warning and Dream Theater underrated.

[@moobox]

Saw them open for Judas Priest earlier this year. I've heard a bit of the Ryche over the years but they stole the show in my opinion, wasn't prepared for how good they'd be live.

I grew w/ these guys in Bellevue, WA.......They were all "the best" musicians in the scene, when they got together, it was like an all star band. They spent a year in hiding putting this EP together. No one knew the name of the new band (they were "The Mob") and had no idea how they would sound..The first time I heard it, I was blown away! Geoff's voice was way better, and Mike and Chris' leads were spot on. Local boys make good, huh?

[@Mr100Rupees]

She knows what's up , i like the way she thinks . Geoff Tate is a classical trained singer , he is a baritone that lives in that high register most of the time which is insane . Queensryche were one of the most if not the most influential bands in the 80s and Geoff arguably the best heavy metal singer .

[@mishterpreshident]

Wow, what a flashback. I'm 51 now, but this was 15-year-old me's favorite song. Looking back, I think 'NM-156' was (and still is) my favorite track from their early years, but this is a good one.

[@vicprovost2561]

I knew Lex would love this great song, the original band is beyond awesome. Try the Lady Wore Black from the same EP, it to is a banger

[@whitenoise546]

Agreed. Chris DeGarmo's magic on lead guitar, Geoff's voice, all that. Yes, original is the only way to go with this band. It's a shame Chris eventually left, then the band and Tate couldn't get along (how many times have we had that story with bands and egos getting in the way? Answer: too many). If they did a reunion of original members (with Chris and Geoff), those shows would be sold out from middle-aged people like me in their 50s (along with some in their 40s/60s).

[@tk72231968]

This is the first song by Queensryche that I ever heard. I was stationed in W.Germany back in the late 80's and the music video was on at a club I was at.

[@mikenastasi8927]

My favorite group ever. Geoffs voice is overwhelming. So much power with so little effort. Hes smooth and sweet all in one. Geoff has opera training. This band just rocks it! Ryche On!

[@Rick-29]

You guys should check out "Take Hold of the Flame " live in Tokyo 1984. Geoff Tate's vocal range is phenomenal!

[@jman3927]

I had the honor of partying with these guys back when they were playing house parties around Bellevue, WA. It was crazy, 300 people spilling out around into yards and streets, and cops, would show up to these neighborhood gigs. We all knew they were going to be big, they were so tight. Also saw their amazing debut concert at the Paramount in Seattle. They're better live, you should check out their concert in Tokyo.

[@jonbaker1697]

I often call 80s metal, Operatic blues. Love how Lex got into it. The 1985 live from Japan vocals are even better. The music, the dress, the stage presence in many 80s genres (metal, rock, funk, electronic) was expansive, euphoric, operatic/dramatic. Suited that hoverboards are just on the horizon feel of the decade

[@jonbaker1697]

Correction: hioctane Operatic blues

[@RedCornerMovies]

Lex. You always surprise me. You're usually just trying to feel the flow and the energy the music. So you openly admit to tuning out lyrics. But then on songs so abstract where Brad is left puzzled. You come in like "yeah, sounds like the origin of the band... musical theatre". Honestly love yalls takes. But damn, Lex. Spot on and hella impressive.

Yeah, I remember these guys playing both on and off base at Pendleton back around the this time. Very motivating for Marines, and they knew it. I remember Geoff didn't really need to get close to the microphone, and stood off it a couple of feet.

This song was my introduction to Queensryche. The EP had just come out ( in 1984 ) and it actually was played on the radio. Blew me away. Geoff Tate is one of the all timers. His range is incredible. Unleash the Archers did a remake of this a few years back. It's a solid effort but even Brittney Slays can't match the ridiculous power of Tate's voice... and she ROCKS. I also recommend the Lady Wore Black. That is a haunting tune.

[@captaincapitalism264]

"Dark musical theater"...exactly. In the early days this band was known for having 'concept albums', the peak of which was their last real metal album, Operation: Mindcrime. There's no denying their amazing talent, especially vocalist Geoff Tate. By 1990 when my drummer/producer and I began actively recruiting for singers in Seattle, SO many guys showed up quoting Tate as their prime influence & trying to sound like him, hehe. I agree with others here, "The Lady Wore Black" is another top track of this band; along with several from Mindcrime.

I actually met the band right before the concert they opened for KISS this was in the eighties my favorite band was Billy Idol at the time and the first autograph i got from Queensryche was Michael Wiltons he was wearing a Billy Idol shirt.

[@sumonjamal1653]

This was actually a demo recorded in 1982 (originally 'Queensrych'), and it was released as the 'Queensryche' EP in 1983... The band was initially called The Mob in Seattle, and they started to write heavy metal songs. Geoff Tate was the singer in another band Myth... he was asked to record vocals for the demo; he agreed only if he could write a song that worked in the band... That song was 'The lady wore black' and made the 4 song demo. The band played as Queensryche for the first time after the demo was recorded. A copy of the demo got good reviews in England, and it was released in 1983 and got the band signed to EMI records in America... a cheesy video made for 'Queen of the reich' aired on MTV. Queensryche would record their first full album 'The Warning' in 1984 and got some fanfare in Japan & Europe.
