So sorry that the music track wasn’t loud enough! We will definitely make it louder in the future! First time checking out Queensryche! Everyone was saying how much we were missing out and we can’t disagree! Which comes next?! PLEASE let us know! This was phenomenal! Also this is the last chance to get those Q&A questions in 🙌👍🔥🤔

[@Cour-des-etoiles]

Queensryche's Operation Mindcrime is awesome from start to finish. Father: you probably have heard of Silent Lucidity, which was on their Empire album, which was also pretty successful. I've never been a big fan of ''take hold of the flame'' myself, so i would recommend anything on their ''Operation Mindcrime'', or the songs ''Queen of the reich'' (that scream at the beginning) :o or ''Jet city woman''.

[@doobiedave9686]

Check out Queen's Of The Reich or The Needle Lies if you want some killer vocals and headbanging music. 🤘✌️

[@Downstreamphoto]

@@Cour-des-etoiles I agree with everything you said here. Take Hold of the Flame is a great showcase of Geoff's vocals but the song itself feels like it is missing something to me. I would recommend "Eyes of a Stanger" or "I Don't Believe in Love" from Operation Mindcrime in addition to the other suggestions.

[@bradsimpson9396]

Definitely check out Queen of the Reich from the same live show, or Roads to Madness and Walk in the Shadows as well. Geoff Tate in his prime was untouchable ✋🏻🇨🇦🤟🏻

[@ramonaalvarez7559]

Have to agree here .. didn't really care a lot for this track but it's good enuf for me to check out more from them. I know the band name .. just never delved into them. So here's the entire story (see link to read up on it)to their album "Mindcrime" .. very interesting .. en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Operation:_Mindcrime With that said .. I particularly like "Suite Sister Mary" from the album (live vid a must). Made me think of Nightwish but maybe that's just me. I sure would like to see you two react to this one track tho .. that would be awesome!!! Here's the link to "Suite Sister Mary" .. kzbin.info/www/bejne/bnS9eJylo5dje5Y Got a sneaking hunch y'all will like this one. Thnx guys .. b safe & well .. peace & luv from Georgia ✌🏼💞🤘🏼🍑

Geoff Tate was arguably the best vocalist in the world between 1984-1989.

[@allisterfiend_2112]

Agree! Geoff and Dio are my top two.

[@damiankarras]

I’d say 83-95

[@geirydp]

I would include Empire and Promised Land -era.

[@mannyb.7829]

YES!!!

[@johnnyripple8972]

On March 12th, 1996 between 2:02 and 2:04 pm, I was, in fact, the greatest vocalist in the world.

[@michaeldinsen7641]

Queensryche is criminally underrated

[@HocusPocusFocus69]

The vibrato on Geoff's high notes is unbeatable!

[@silentwood207]

They've got a great concept album Operation: Mindcrime.

[@geirydp]

Greatest album of all time! Amazing.

[@richnorcal]

Geoff Tate is just untouchable..if I could have his voice for one day. omg !! If you listen to the studio version of this song, it is near identical...please, check out more Queensryche !!

[@fatherandsonreactions]

We definitely will! His voice is definitely incredible! -Ethan

[@palantir135]

Geoff Tate is an excellent singer. You really should listen to the whole album “Operation: Mindcrime”. Epic album

[@Ozzpot]

You guys should check out their album "Operation Mindcrime" (1988). One of the greatest prog metal albums ever made. I listen to it every week. "Suite Sister Mary" is my favourite track, but since it is very much a prog album, a rock opera really, it would be odd to listen to any one track in isolation. That said, if there's some good footage of them performing it live, it might be worth checking out. Somebody can probably recommend the best recording to go for.

[@phillipsamuels6719]

One of the best bands in the 80s Geoff tate is just phenomenal

[@doobiedave9686]

Great song !!! Queensryche never really got the credit that they deserved You guys should check out Queen Of The Reich and The Needle Lies. 🔥🤘✌️

[@IVORY123100]

My bandmate who later became bass player for Iced Earth .. Back in 84 said that Queensryche was going to be playing Hammerjacks in Baltimore . A small club . So I went and paid 5 bucks at the door . Found myself a barstool overlooking the left side of the stage . Thee best seating ever .. That night it seemed like Queensryche was all mine .. They kept on shaking fist and pointing at me throughout the concert.. . Then it happened .. During the lead break of this song . Geoff climbed the PA system .. Grabbed my hand and stayed with me until the lead was over .. I 'll never forget the look on the lead guitar players face .. " please don't push our singer off " .. This song is my life's anthem .. I took hold . Now I am fighting stage 4 cancer .

[@KarmaKraze_11]

One of the best bands I discovered in 2020. Those first 3 albums are supreme.

The amazing thing about this performance is it was an encore number after having sung for almost 2 hrs. Truly phenomenal singer.

Can you do Operation Mindcrime from start to finish?The best concept album ever recorded.Sidenote...when I seen them in 2007,this song was the closer.

[@drew65sep]

Better go ahead and storm proof all of the windows, because this dude will shatter every one of em.

[@barbaravance6774]

Geoff's vocals are phenomenal! He goes from a nice low voice. Rides the C5 and then soars up to the E5! All of the Bruce comments? They both have beautiful voices. But, Geoff is beyond him. You need to read the lyrics to this song. They are amazing! Especially for the time it came out. It's a message young people NEED TODAY! I have two sons and they've always loved this song. Since they were little. 💕

I just want to say to the dad, seeing a youngster getting into the metal music of our youth makes me warm and fuzzy. Well done sir.

[@papipowers1]

And this is live...AMAZING. I saw them in the early 80's and you can't even imagine the flawless performance they ALL gave. Mr. Tate's voice literally made your whole spine vibrate! The control/power of his voice is perfection!

[@fatherandsonreactions]

Agreed , an amazing great voice ! Thanks for watching and commenting and being a part of our channel -Larry

[@sopdox]

Geoff Tate was 25 in ‘84. Classically trained and about a 4 octave range in his prime. Queensryche did an MTV unplugged session with a dozen great songs, including a cover of Scarborough Fair.

[@paulkruger491]

[@thepowerpatriot8507]

"There's one thing for sure and that it's definitely not a karaoke song!" - I love it! - Awesome song, amazingly awesome singer and awesome band all-to-together. Thanks for the review!

[@Grumpy_Rabbit]

I'm usually not a fan of live performances. And listening to this performance, along with my recent fascination with live performances by Dimash Kudaibergen, Angelina Jordan and Diana Ankudinova, has made me realize the reason for that: Most professional singers just aren't good enough to do their own songs justice when performing live. The exceptions to that are singers such as Geoff Tate (the lead singer for Queensrÿche,) who sound at least as good live as they do in the studio. My favorite Queensrÿche song is "The Lady Wore Black" (highly recommended.) They do an amazing cover of "Scarborough Fair." Their best album (IMHO) is "Operation: Mindcrime" (a "concept album.") My recommended song from that album is "Eyes Of A Stranger." That album was a huge commercial success, but their next album, "Empire," is the one that sold the most copies. The monster hit off of that album was "Silent Lucidity."

[@paulkruger491]

[@tapanim6576]

Geoff Tate is an amazing singer and the band is great. They have so many great songs. My personal favorite is the Empire album from 1990. It contains their biggest hit the ballad "Silent Lucidity", but it has so many other great songs too like "Empire", "Best I Can", "Another Rainy Nigth (Without You)", "Jet City Woman" and "Anybody Listening?". You could just pick any of those songs to react to next. :) Thanks for this great reaction.

[@phillipevans9414]

Tapani M. Yes, this!

Interesting song! Interesting band! I don't think I have heard this band before. Singer kickass. Will definitely check - out more Queensryche to see their stuff. Really liked the vibe of this song. Thanks for reaction!

[@fatherandsonreactions]

definitely! We heard they are one of the best metal bands ever. So glad we checked them out! -Ethan

[@Capitaomac1]

Great choice guys. You should do the whole operation mindcrime album in one take. Another great choice would be Opeth and Pain of Salvation.

[@vicgonzalesable]

Queensryche- eyes of a stranger. The whole operation mindcrime album is fantastic.

[@allisterfiend_2112]

This song is very inspirational, I had graduated high school and was working night shift at the local grain elevators in my state, so cold I could barely move and dirt from head to toe and I remember hearing this song (not my first time), and right after the song was over I had made up my mind to go back to electronics school and start a career doing something I enjoyed. Dad! How could you have missed Queensryche, oh well, you can enjoy them now. They were a progressive band, some of their songs I hated at first, but by the third listen I was hooked. Check out Operation: Mindcrime, considered one of the best concept album of the 80’s, a great story from start to finish and the story is still relevant today.

[@brianb6024]

Great heavy metal tune ! I liked the reaction - you two are really developing a great rappore (spelling?) 👍 thanks much😊

[@purplekat5864]

I LOVE watching people discover Queensryche! My favorite band (original line-up) of ALL time! They are a very versatile band, always delivering intense, well-written and well-executed songs. You need to hear a dozen of them to get a sense of what they're capable of. Geoff is AMAZING, as are ALL the band members! Saw then live multiple times, and theirs are the best live shows I've EVER seen. (I'm not a fan or anything!) I would recommend: ALL of Operation: Mindcrime. (essential). The Killing Words (live 1992 MTV Unplugged). One More Time. Real World. Walk in the Shadows. Anybody Listening? Another Rainy Night. Screaming in Digital. I Dream in Infrared. To get you started. I really enjoyed your reviews! Nice to see a father and son having a great time together! Sorry for the long post. QR is hard to discuss in just a few words!

[@andreo.7633]

Lol a classic, i used to do this on our set this and QueenOTR Geoff was great, shame his voice didnt live for too long past the mid 90s.. Walk in The Shadows is a great one by them

[@shirleycairo9692]

To hear more high notes, check out their cover of Gonna Get Close to You. (studio version) and compare to his low range with Empire.

[@RGBado]

Now react to The Lady wore black or anything on their EP. Walk in the shadows is great too on their Rage for order album.

[@martineduhaime826]

First time I saw them , it was in 1982 , opening for Twisted Sister in Montreal , and then , in 1984 , opening for Ozzy , they became my favorite band ,

[@dawncarver5277]

Please react to : Queensryche - best I can Queensryche - another rainy night Eyes of a stranger I don't believe in love

[@cherylreichardt]

I wouldn't take a bathroom break on this one either. I'd hold it just like the lead singer held those notes. Knew Larry liked it when he did the fist pump. Bands like this were fun in the eighties. Big hair! Lead singers who strutted across the stage while belting out songs like you just played. Loved it guys. I was just out of high school when this one was around. Do more like it. Ratt was a cool band too.❤👍

[@ferocitas1958]

I was a Queensryche fanatic back in the day and was thrilled when they finally hit the big time after the "Empire" album shot them into the stratosphere because of the success of "Silent Lucidity." It was #9 on Billboard's Hot 100 and #1 on the Album Rock Tracks. Because of the success of the Empire album, Queensryche was finally able to go out and do concerts that included Empire tracks but also the entire "Operation Mindcrime" album. Hey dad, I'm sure once you hear Silent Lucidity, you're going to go, "Oh shit yeah, I remember that song." MTV played it constantly and it was all over the radio too. You'll probably recognise "Jet City Woman and "Eyes of a Stranger" too as the rock stations had both songs in their rotations daily - and it seemed like hourly in my memory. Although I love "Take Hold of the Flame," it really isn't well known outside of those of us who were mega fans. This video reminds me of the time I ran into the band at a club - minus Geoff- and I had a nice conversation with truly nice guys. None of that obnoxious "I'm a rock star so worship me" crap that I'd encountered from others. Anyway, if my memory serves, the way the guys dressed and the make up that you saw was during the time when the record label was trying to push them into being a "glam band" because they didn't get the music or their progressive rock style. By the time of the Operation MIndcrime and Empire albums, you can see who won that argument. Anyway, highly suggest listening to Operation Mindcrime album in one sitting as you'll want to understand the story that this concept album is telling. Happy listening. And just know that in my 20 years of concert attendance of everything from Carole King to Led Zepplin to Aerosmith to Bruce Springsteen to Heart to Elton John to Def Leppard at places like Oakland Coliseum to Golden Gate Park to Winterland to the side of ski hill in Tahoe to Mile High Stadium and Red Rocks in Denver, the Empire/Operation Mindcrime concert was and is my hands down favorite. What an amazing gd show. Simply the best ever. ...

[@steveratcliffe2181]

I think you have done the big 5 of metal vocals now....Kiske, Tate, Dickinson, Dio and Halford. I had this concert on VHS. Saw them 3 times in the 80s. As many have said, Operation Mindcrime is a must album.

[@fatherandsonreactions]

We’ve done the 5 of them! -Ethan

[@traceywood5852]

Geoff Tate is now 62 years old and still touring. I will be seeing him next month performing the Empire and Rage for Order albums. Obviously his voice has changed slightly as he has got older but he is still an amazing singer 😁

[@Mr1fingersalute]

Queensryche IS the best band to come out of the 80’s metal scene! I loved this band right from their ep. There was nothing like them before or since, truly a one of a kind amazing band. It’s a shame they didn’t get the notoriety they deserved at the time, at least they’re getting it now though. Warning is absolutely amazing, check out their Rage For Order and Operation Mindcrime albums for more mind blowing talent

[@adama1189]

@@davemac1197 Hey Dave, thank you so much for checking in. I’ve been doing ok, been a lot going on these last few weeks. Mostly finals and schoolwork, so I’ve poured a lot of my time into that. On top of that, my family and I went to a wedding about a month ago and came home to find that a pipe burst in the upstairs bathroom, which left much of the house destroyed. I’ve been helping my parents move stuff around and helping with minor insurance stuff and what not in addition to studying for finals, so it’s certainly been hectic on my side. Everyone is healthy though, and luckily nothing of value was destroyed so it certainly could’ve been worse! We’re officially going to start working on some parts of the house this weekend, which is a good sign. Aside from helping my parents around the house, since the summer is here I expect to have some more free time, so I should be around here on the channels more often. Once again, I appreciate you checking in on me, Dave. It really means a lot. I’ve certainly been thinking about you all as well. How are you and everyone else holding up? Any word on any more ELO reactions on either channel?

[@davemac1197]

@@adama1189 - thanks for the update - I thought you might be just busy with college finals but I'm sorry to hear your upstairs bathroom took a vindictive turn against you going out for the day! That's awful. I hope it all gets sorted out on the insurance okay. I've not been on JEM for a while - they've gone very American-centric since I missed two surprise livestreams in the middle of the night (UK time) that got deleted, and now they've taken to playing games with hidden Easter eggs when only America is awake, so I feel like I've been edged out of the band. I don't think it's helping subscriptions as much and I'm aware of at least one Australian (Greg Raymond) has unsubscribed as "time to move on". Wine Not! Reactions also seems to be releasing very few videos, and at irregular times, so I think they're struggling as well. The YT notifications are so unreliable now I can only get alerts of personal replies if I have Outlook open all day, so Win10 tells me when I get an email copy - seriously! I can keep up with F&S because of their very regular schedule, and it still coincides with my coffee break, otherwise I wouldn't know what was happening. I've been commenting on Reel History (just finished Band Of Brothers) and also spent more time on TIK History, particularly enjoyed his video reposte to getting owned by socialists (trolls). Meanwhile, here in Birmingham we have been getting all our April showers this month - it's pouring with rain again right now. My bathroom seems to be okay (just checking). At least everyone is healthy and still fighting fit, eh? We're not finished yet! Good to know you're okay, and don't let the gremlins grind you down, Adam. Cheers!

[@adama1189]

@@davemac1197 Much appreciated Dave, and of course glad to hear that you’re doing well. The bathroom and the rest of my house are starting to come along, we’ve already torn stuff apart and now we’re waiting for an asbestos removal for the basement. Once that’s done with, we’ll be on under way with restoration! Sorry to hear about what’s been going on over at JEM. Now that you mention it, I do recall them starting with this whole Easter egg thing. Even for me over here on the East Coast, the games and the live streams were a bit late for me. I thought the whole Easter egg thing was cool the first time or two, but after that I felt it was a bit redundant. Not sure if E was trying to treat her regulars by giving them “early access,” however I don’t think it has really worked out that way since others have caught on and it takes away from others such as yourself who are asleep when all of this transpires! I’ll definitely stick to the channel since I enjoy watching E’s reactions and communicating with everyone in the community, but I don’t see myself feeding the fire with those games and late night streams. I’ll be back here on F and S on Saturday at around 3:30 EST (I usually work until 2:30 on Saturdays) and see what Ethan and Larry have in store. As for your YT notifications, I’m assuming you’re using YT in a browser and not an app? Have you tried a different browser or logging in and out of your YT account?

A lot of people might tell you to listen to Operation Mindcrime if you wanted to get into Queensryche more but I suggest starting with their first two albums--The Warning and Rage for Order--I personally think they're better because Mindcrime (while good) is a bit gimmicky imo what with it being a concept album that can be almost kind of a stage play while the other two albums are just simply normal albums with great songs :)

Geoff Tate should have been a global sensation, that voice was unmatched at that time.

Haven't heard them in a long time not since the 80s I found this young family band called Liliac maybe check out their original song called Mars done live at Cummins Ga the lead singer has an unusual voice in a good way

Geoff's Vocal Range is Insane, You Must React To The Album Operation Mindcrime too.

[@shanehebert396]

From what I've seen elsewhere, this was the encore performance... still having that power and control. You really need to listen to the entirety (songs in order) of Operation: Mindcrime. The songs tell a story... wouldn't hurt to have all the lyrics handy to follow along.

ANYTHING from their album Operation:Mindcrime

Geoff Tate in his prime stood alone the top vocalist mountain! Dude was amazing

[@retrometal]

Nice! It's about time these guys get your attention. When they first came out the vocals were pushed beyond what Iron Maiden were doing at the time in my opinion of course. Oh the studio version on "The Warning" is just as spectacular. The band peaked with Operation Mindcrime. Again, my opinion.
