I saw Queensryche 4 times in their prime. My wife and I met the original band at a show in Cincinnati. Just us and them. My wife's connections helped. I remember the guitarists being the friendliest of the band. Geoff seemed to not want to be there.

True ..... Queensryche, Stryper, Maiden

There is no Queensryche without Geoff Tate, Chris Degarmo, Scott Rockenfield, Michael Wilton and Eddie Jackson. They were are and always will be Queensryche. Anything else falls short.

The first time that I heard them I was hooked Geoff Tate voice and Chris DeGarmo on the guitar and the rest of the guy wow. I love this song roads to Madness..

[@donnyarnold7948]

I saw them at the Civic Center here in Baltimore and do you are right there's no planes right without the original guy and when Chris DeGarmo left in 98 Chris got tired of the politics but he was a great still great guitars and all the great songs that all them guys were in the 80s wow

[@wgrace451]

Youth of today, as well as the new version of QR & even Geoff with his current touring band, this mother fucking perfect lightening in a botlle will not ever, ever, ever ,ever ever occur quite like this again!!!! Sad in some ways but at least I got to experience all of this live back in the day!! I was about 16 or 17 when the QR EP first came out & this band blew me away, followed up by thr MASTERPIECE CALLED THE WARNING! Thanks for the memories, thanks for all the recordings done years back & thanks for You Tube (You Tube is the candy store that guys my age did not have during our youth!!!). Also remember, Geoff just got done performing most of Operation Mindcrime before this killer performance of Roads to Madness. How did he still have his voice left? But he did & it was at its best. Such a hard song to sing even with lots of rest

[@chriswalker6776]

The amount of control on all parts is amazing. Tight band and of course Geoff's vocals on here are second to none

[@dradehnorref4101]

Let's not forget Scott Rockenfield, he was a BIG part of the sound of Queensryche.

Remember seeing Queensryche on tv in the 80s. We where all drunk at a party. Since that day i always loved queensryche. Seeing Jeff running on stage performing vocal masterpiece. I always get very sentimental listening to them. Makes me cry. Tears running down my chin because of their impact in my life.

In their prime, Queensryche was the best of the hard rock bands and Geoff Tate was the absolute pinnacle of rock vocalists. They blew me away the first time I ever saw them live in a small club in Queens, NY called L'AMours East. That was the early 1980's....Best show I've ever seen!

[@KEMST13]

I used to go to L’amours & L’amours East too. Saw many great bands there. Queensryche is in a class by themselves.

It's actually easy for me, the first tune they ever wrote together - Lady Wore Black. To be so young and write an epic about such a group is chilling and beyond amazing. I always search for covers but they are so rare, I think I've seen one. Tells you a lot about how talented Geoff was at that time, no one dare tries because they'll probably fail and embarrass themselves.
