Real World

[ldolphin34]

It's weird to me that Mindcrime and Empire are the only two albums most rock fans seem to know. This band is deeper than just the metal moniker. Geoff Tate can sing his butt off.

[intense554]

That's what people don't realise and understand - real music. My heart aches for all the posers that have never heard this song.

[RycheRageForOrder]

Every time I think I've won

I hear your voice inside, questioning

Where have you gone Can't you remember feeling so alone

You always had the anwer that I could not see... So sick!

[fevver42]

"here's another explosion for your movie, kidt"

[intense554]

so weird, that this song only get this many hits.. it is an amazing song.The words match the atmosphere it creates.

[gutedogg]

hell yes all day long...great tune



[ENEMENCIO123VISION]

AWESOME!!!AWESOME!!!AWESOME!!!­

[llukyrhs1975]

no words

[LBart218]

Love this song from start to finish. Great band (at least back in the day - not so sure anymore!)

[ENEMENCIO123VISION]

@LBart218 they are still the same inside...

[snipermagoo]

@LBart218

Eh, I agree. They're not into the experimentation they used to be. They're not still bad, but I think Promised Land was the last of their good albums

[vonkroenen]

3:40: " I think the taxis are bulletproof"

[wizardsands]

Come out with a new album SOON PLEASE!!!

[Fibrousoil]

one of the greatest sound tracks ever. though the movie was a dud!

[Levente20]

@Fibrousoil the movie is a masterpiece too

[RycheRageForOrder]

Every time I listen to this song I get goose bumps. Michael Kamen and the Ryche wrote one bad ass song!

[ENEMENCIO123VISION]

@RycheRageForOrder me too... cheers to the RYCHE...

[Levente20]

Last Action hero has the best rock songs and Jack Slater is badass

[thant0s]

Wish there was an instrumental of this song...

[gutedogg]

sick tune...makes me think and chill at the same time

[RycheRageForOrder]

@gutedogg Oh' Yeah! crushingly sick! the most mind-expanding, though -provoking music.

[chelordare0423]

ME AND MY BABE'S SONG, I LOVE YOU BABY... \../

[ghostquill]

Probably the band's best song.And they have A LOT of great songs..

[thegrungewave]

so yeah, i pretty much luv everything about this song. \m/

[SergeantCha0s]

how to you prenounce this bands name? I heard them from the Last Action Hero soundtrack

[erickr777]

@SergeantCha0s  /ˈkwiːnzraɪk/, KWEENZ-ryek

[lowriderbandfan]

@SergeantCha0s, it's pronounced BAD ASS. ; ) lol, erickr777 has it down. RYCHE ON!

[forcedflashback]

最高に美しく、そしてパワフルで、緊張感のある展開のある曲で彼­らの最高曲の一つだと思う。やはりこういうクオリティの高い曲は­今のメンバーでは難しいのか？

クリスが戻れば良いとは簡単に言えないが、このままではもったい­ないバンドである

[frost8381]

Truly an awesome song. One of the best soundtracks i've ever heard.

[GBPackerLuke6]

from 3:14 to 3:28 the lyrics go like "you're a like a superman! you're like superman!"

[sherbella1]

This song is awesome, but think true favorite is Silent Lucidity!

[agentredlum]

Only Queensryche could put flutes to guitars to base to drums to violins to guitars to flute so sweetly. Checkmate! McTiernan provided an ultimate visual for this song. Angry Again by Megadeth was also awesome on the Last Action Hero soundtrack, a great movie.

[purrplebread]

This was in Last Action Hero! I loved that movie :D 80's, a great decade its over now :(

[munkeysak]

@purrplebread Last Action Hero came out in 1993 :)

[purrplebread]

@munkeysak LOLO Blond Moment... It seems like the 80's, I remember my Dad taking me there... good times :D

[munkeysak]

@purrplebread It's all good. I remember seeing it with my Dad too :)

[purrplebread]

@munkeysak yea... this is my favorite song of that movie, Queensryche is like one of my FAVORITE bands :D

[NavarCrowbarr]

It took me a long time to enjoy this song, but looking back now, it seems like it was just ahead of it's time. If they had released it today, they might a lot more radio popular than they are. Which is a real downer, cuz' they rock.

[Omcsesz]

E-P-I-C. Fantastic song!

[JPB0889]

beautiful song.

[sweetkitten478]

@JPB0889 yes it is!

[JoviAero]

This is the song that made me discover the band Queensryche. All because I wanted to see every Arny movie. And now I am so glad I did

[skermy]

Certainly helps that Michael Kamen co-wrote the song, he was fantastic.

[ruggierojerolli]

I can´t find in my head how this song could've been created. It´s captivating...potent... everything

[residualbill]

This song was on the soundtrack to the movie "Last Action Hero", starring Arnold Schwarzenegger.

I used to have the soundtrack. It had some great bands on it. Queensryche, Megadeth, Anthrax, AC/DC, Alice in Chains (2 songs by them)...but it also had Aerosmith and Def Leppard...if you're into that stuff.

[bigpoopie69]

@residualbill

Yeah but most of the songs were contractual obligations...The AIC song was OK ditto the Queensryche song...but the rest was crap. Just like the movie.

[LordGandor3]

@residualbill Yo & Last time in Paris was on the Ford Fairlane soundtrack OHHHH!

[residualbill]

@LordGandor3 Now there's a movie title I haven't heard in about a hundred moons.

[Jamcad01]

@residualbill Def leppard's awesome don't diss it

[residualbill]

@Jamcad01 yeah

[residualbill]

@Jamcad01 I said "if you're into that stuff". I don't care if other people like it, as long as I don't have to.

Actually, I said it that way specifically so someone wouldn't come along and cry that I'm 'dissing' them.

Guess it didn't work. (hang my head in shame...kick a nearby pebble)

[Jamcad01]

@residualbill Oh sorry didn't realize...

[residualbill]

@Jamcad01 No problem.

[noiseruption]

@residualbill you forgot Buckethead and Michael Kamen 

[residualbill]

@noiseruption Thanks for correcting me.

[IkORn90]

@residualbill tesla is in the soundtracks album too, well i think, all the musics of this movie are the BEST of THE BEST EVER!!!

[harbroyn]

@residualbill yeah, i just found the cd in some old box here, put it on and memories started to come back:) thanks for the tip!

[residualbill]

@harbroyn and thank you for bringing me back to this song!

[TrepanadorX]

@residualbill The very best soundtrack done ever!

[guitarplayndude82]

3:00 + totally reminds me of the heavier parts of Rage for Order and Mindcrime combined. This song wouldn't be the same without it.

[crimsonguitarv]

THE BEST queensryche song FOR SURE

[sweetkitten478]

@crimsonguitarv i agree!

[wilderaregmail]

I can't... find the real world aloooooooooooooooooooooooooonn­n

Y aquí entra el heroe

Muchas gracias

[2067555874]

simply awesome tune.

[bigpoopie69]

What is best in life?

[pammywammy67]

I have always loved this song!!!!!

[Levente20]

only the song intro is in the movie but fits so perfectly when slater amazed that seeing himself on the poster. awesome

[dimelives1]

great music! written by queensrych & michael kamen (composer of last action hero), for said movie.

[xXGottaLoveRockXx]

amazing song..

[mograpejuice]

I love the cello

[Conjurbiscut]

the intro is beautiful guitar and the lyrics very powerful, you cant help but get epic feeling of loneliness from it.

[Atoutlem0nde]

3:05 until the end is the best part. Be honest, you can't argue with that.

[BeautifulMan2009]

i completely disagree. i think the song is amazing except for 3:05-4:00. if only we could tie the ending to right after 3:04

[DrVelvetProductions]

I kind of a agree. That section starting at 3:05 is out of the song's nature and, in my opinion, doesn't belong.

[Movie06]

Hey, this song was in Last Action Hero.

[jorninorion]

yes it was. that's how i gotta meet Queensryche.:)

[ullis5125]

OMG i love Geoff Tates voice. i have seen them twice and he sounds better live than other singers do in a studio....Ullis in Gothenburg Sweden

[Flaggius]

lol, I'm from Gothenburg, Sweden too and I love Queensryche, don't see why this songs isn't on Promised Land??? It's one of the best songs ever made

[metalero19882]

no words

[TECHNoLyDEAD]

good song

[sojo4]

thanks for posting. this song is hard to find
