  • I could hit notes like that if my trousers were that tight!

  • Aren't they great!? :D

    For me, they're AWESOME + AMAZING!

  • there are only about 3 bands that puts me into trance. this is one of them.

  • i lucked out and saw them when they did operation:mindcrime live on tour. was same time they were supporting the empire album. saw them in seattle (at home) and had comp seats level with the stage, sitting next to the family. KICKED ASS!

  • Saw these dudes in 85 on Animalize tour but should have been renamed Take Hold Of ThE FLAME TOUR. They fucking rocked! Kiss was headlining but I was very disappointed with them. Even to this day Gene or should i say Mr Greed wants money money money money. He thinks he will be buried with it.

  • Wanna run a few Catholics out of the bar? LOL play this! Anyway great conceptual album and story, done in a time when that kind of thing could destroy a carrier working for the big record labels.

  • When this album came out, there were none like it. One of the best all time concept albums.

  • Too bad whoever uploaded this cut off the very brief but important scene that occurs. "Kill her."

    "Kill Mary?"

    "And get the priest as well."

  • Exelente banda ...recuerdos muy chidos me traee...me encanta el album de live evoluttion 2cd una joya

  • who's the woman in this vedio ???

  • @MrSmg1965 Pamela Moore

  • @Glass915Nicole Thank-you soo much !!!

  • Brilliant! Great song.....Incredible album.........Great Band!

  • no one holds a lite to the fourth Ryche. never have never will.

  • or a bottle in front of me

  • whoever the 4 are that disliked this song needs a frontal lobotomy

  • the sound the lyrics oh so deep. let me burn one more.

  • truly the pinnacle of their career

  • It doesn't get any better than this.

  • masterpiece

  • The whole album was awesome, fantastic story.

  • This song is so awesome, how he makes a step by step story! AWESOME!

  • 4 Justin Beiber fans did not like this song.

  • @CthulhuMessiah please fuck off with this justin bieber bullshit

  • Such a great band, I can never get tired of listening to their music for hours and hours. Timeless song!

  • That's cool ... thought maybe you were Mike.  Good to meet you!

  • @MdwsAg901 LOL Sorry I'm not Mike :) Good to meet you also.

  • To this day, Operation Mindcrime is still the best concert I've ever been a part of ... it was an amazing concert!

  • @MdwsAg901 That was a kick ass tour. I'm so glad I was able to see it also.

  • @rayne68 I gotta ask ... are you my old roomie, Mike W.? Rayne was the name of his dog at the time.

  • @MdwsAg901 No dude, my name is Lorraine, Rayne is what my friends call me

  • @MdwsAg901 I'll second that! \m/

  • Back in the day..no one could touch Queensryche with their music or storytelling...too bad today's music sucks compared to what I listened to in the 80's/90's metal scene..Lady gaga should listen to this..lol

  • these two are f-r-e-a-k-e-n a-m-a-z-i-n-g if their not lip synicing.

  • 2 great singers and a perfect band

  • This was the best LSD music HANDS DOWN!!!!!!!!!!!

  • Comment removed

  • This is incredible.

    

  • One of my favorite bands of all time!

  • @habanerat Geoff was trained as an opera singer.

  • @habanerat The same vocal teacher trained David Wayne from Metal Church,Ann Wilson,and of course Jeff Tate

  • the views have nothing to do with people having no taste. u all seem to forget that there are at least 30 different vids of this song on utube. multiply 60000 views by 30 and ull see that quite a lot of people have taste. besides...i usually dont go on utube to listen to music i own anyways

  • how does one of the top all time progressive rock/metal songs, only have 60,000 views...shows you how people love soulless music. hell, forget the labels, this is a top song in music period!

  • Comment removed

  • funny.. i was just listening to this album over the weekend. Queensryche rules!

  • i work for DR> X but i still can't help but love this band

  • man 20 years later and say no one can touch this shit

  • Been listening to this song since 88-89.Great song then and now,,just now gave a look to see who the girl is.Found Pamela Moore and googled her,,Holy Smokes!

  • Forget Kindergarten..I learned all I need to know from listening to Queensryche!!

  • dude...... i feel so messed up..... i mean damn wtf was i when these guys were rockin it? im gunna catch up though

  • wtf with the advertising... damn.. youtube sold out..

  • 3 people work for Dr. X

  • Thank you Queensryche from the bottom of my soul for creating the awesome music i have grown with. QUEENSRYCHE FOREVER!!!!!!!!!

  • best ever!

  • One of the best rock performances EVER!!! This should had been on Broadway!

  • Most of today's bands are not worthy to fight over queensryche's used toilet paper

  • @YIANNIS2003 it's from "Operation: Livecrime" DVD.

    In spite of that it was filmed from several shows, like Talking Heads's "Stop Making Sense", and sound probably was recorded in studio - it one of the best shows ever maked on the globe.

  • @1968AirF : quite to the contrary, the sound was EXACTLY as you hear it. I saw Mindcrime LIVE. They had ALL of their studio gear with them to exactly duplicate their studio sound live. It was an experience I won't ever forget. Each guy on stage had 2 sound techs working the sound for them... just EPIC. :)

  • @KanaCGY i saw it in seattle. the woman wasnt there (kinda bummer) but her part was on a ginourmous screen that he acted and sang to. honestly, after watching the footage on the video, i'm still not sure which version i preferred (her there or on screen)

  • Next to "The Wall", one of the best conceptual Albums ever.

  • @tommunz In '89 we all knew this was the album(anyone remember those) or soundtrack without a movie. I did have a chance to see it performed live. It was pretty cool TENDENCIES was the opening act.

  • epic!!

    

  • This is real music :) his voice is AMAZING, and the story is so tragic, you find yourself sad for them. This took Serious talent. Much unlike that justin bieber crap he keeps crapping out and re polishing over and over again.

    *sigh*

  • @ulikeme87 thats how u tell art from industrially-produced crap my friend...im glad that there are people that trully appreciate the greatness of art,even if its a small percentage of humanity...

  • great song, great singer, great music, simple, great

  • Μόνο ανατριχίλες...

  • Their silhouettes at the end are so badass. :D I've enjoyed Operation: Mindcrime one too many times by now. This particular song is the one that gives you that lone chill and pretty much leaves you with your mouth open; awesome stuff.

  • They've only made one album like this, everything about it is unique. After more than 20 yrs still on top of the world. No other metal band will ever come even close to this. Daring because I think they lost a lot of their earlier "Queen of the reich" fans, but they had just evolved and sadly they have never made an album like this again. Bravo Queensryche, I'm on the road to madness....

  • 2:42 - the guitar work there just gives me the spine chill! top choon.

  • The tour was unbelievable. I remember it so well.

  • So awesome!

    

  • this should have 2billion views 

  • @jakobbenzi and children in africa shouldnt be starving...if only the world was perfect :P

  • @jakobbenzi People are busy listening to people like Katy Perry, Justin Beavis and Brittany Spears... who all 3 suck.

  • @jakobbenzi no shit uh???

  • How can you NOT absolutely love an album about a conspiracy to overthrow the United States government..........FUNDED BY THE CATHOLIC CHURCH?!?!?!?!That's a COOL fuckin' idea.

  • @tyrannysouls Operation:Mindcrime isn't funded by the Catholic Church. Father William is a corrupt priest - that's not the same thing. Mary was trying to save herself by being a nun from her life as a prostitute. Dr X is a manipulator who brainwashes to get what he wants.

  • sexually haunting, beautifully delicious.

  • i bought this cd on the day it was released back in umm.. a LONG time ago.. and it stayed in my car stereo for MONTHS... totally mind blowing shit... this band cant be touched by anyone... totally fucking great...

  • Pamala Moore; Beautiful lady, stunning voice... Superb!

  • they played live at the Alaska state fair i didnt see them preform though

  • Epic is not strong enough, but I don't know a better word.

  • @Excentner I do...Legen...wait for it....DARY!!!

  • AAAAAH! Does music get any better than this?????

  • 20 years of listening to this album, and this song still gives me the shivers. Such a powerful song!

  • one of the best albuns ever..

    anyone knows if there is a DVD of this concert?

  • @robbstsh

    Get "Mindcrime At The Moore"

  • @Hellwyck thanks brother ;-)

  • I hate Mr X!!! Damn him!!

  • Just pure epic progressive metal directly from heaven..

  • Going to see these guys tomorrow-so pumped!!

  • lol they're using the same actors in their videos

  • 3 people need to visit dr. x

  • @arudonar10 they need to visit Dr. Kevorkian

  • I've seen it live, and they had actors playing out the part and everything. I was in awe, and will never forget that night at Turning Stone Casino. It was the fourth time I saw them there, and the started with a few songs from empire, then warning, them they went into the song operation mindcrime, and play the rest of the album out. Awe. thats the best was I can explain it. AWE!

  • Pure awesome.

  • I'm going to see them in Charlotte Aug 14th, I wonder if they will play any of these classics?

  • @ColKorn1965

    Yeah, a few of them!

  • What a great album for a masterpiece LP from queensryche. The first time when I hear that I was supprised how great was the LP, queensryche is a unique group in hard rock!

  • goosebumps, man! This still rules....

  • best god damn group ever .....

  • I absolutely love this and have done since is came out in '88. Seeing them tomorrow, can't wait!

  • @lukevertiis Cheers!

  • Who's the girl?

  • fuck vevo!

  • The lyrics to this song are so powerful, especially when taken in context of the story. I remember my buddy summer of 88' "You gotta listen to this!" been hooked ever since.

  • ABSOLUTE FUCKING TUNE.

  • Nothing better played since then. By nobody.

  • This is when Queensryche was at the TOP of their game....

  • Man that chick can wail... WOW!  And Geoff, well... what can you say. No lip sync, he sounds as good live as on the album, and what range he has. I bow down to the mighty 'Ryche!

  • this is when Queensryche was fucking good. New album is not good from what I have heard..

  • The live is WAY better than the studio. I'm glad my mom took my to their concert and Iron Maiden's when she was pregnant with me around 1992.

  • @bizaremuffin do you remember it???? :D

  • @ColKorn1965 Unfortunately.... no. But I love listening to them still and Iron Maiden. But my mom won tickets to see them at Jacksonville, FL and didn't take me because I was busy with school and projects and I was pissed. lol

  • WOW!

  • I've seen them four times...never let me down....

  • qeensryche is classic and one of the most amazing bands on earth... id give my left nut to see them in concert... plus they are under rated and thats to effin bad... 

  • just freaking amazing

  • awesome performance!

  • what a great show they put on!!!!!!

  • amazing..best metalsong ever! Even through all those years.

  • Fokin EPIC!!!!!! \m/

  • freekin' brilliant.

  • It Just don't get much better than that !!!

  • You all know she is the one that kills herself! Hopefully thats not a spoiler!

  • @triad76, you haven't seen the video. She doesn't kill herself. It's just made to look that way.

  • @ved76 But what about the beer?

  • shit this is awesome

  • This song still gives me goosebumps :)

  • @claypigeon77  Hell I thought I was the only one !!!

  • MAN, this is emotional! What a song, what an album. Pamela Moore was only born to contribute her voice to this particular piece of art.

  • MAN, this is emontional! What a song, what an album!

  • A simple Masterpiece !!!

  • call me a pussy if ya want but if if i dont hear this for a long time than play this again it draws quite an emotional response out of me.

    Sadly these guys aren't revered as fucking amazing rock gods like they rightfully should be. There's few bands in that era that are even a 100th of the talent Queensryche has. Its a shame that greatness is only really measured in how many albums you sold at your peak.

  • they are no words to described the operation mindcrime...this a masterpiece, best of the best!!!!

  • Such passion in this song..Pamela Moore is incredible!!!

  • i got there ep on a tape from camalot music at the mall when i was 17 or 18 , and have been a fan ever since. they are one of the best all around bands ever! mind crime has to be one of the best albums i have ever heard!!!!!!

  • one of the best voices in Rock !!!

  • Great!

  • Great band great album!

  • You're Mine!!!!!

  • RYCHE RULES

  • hace ya 23 años que por primera ves escuche este álbum y ahorita que lo vi casi me mié... la neta es como si hubiera sido ayer siento exactamente lo mismo...histeria, ansiedad, los que han ido a uno de sus conciertos me dará la razón definitivamente una de mis bandas por excelencia...

  • A "concept album" at its best!!

  • Before 'epic' was an overused catchphrase on the Internets... this DEFINED 'epic.'

    Still does...

  • @stonebryson It Still does Bud It Still does !!!

  • Absolutely love Chris's guitar. Great looks and great tone both clean and dirty. And yes, great player. :-)

  • good god give me more!!!

  • INCREDIBLE!!!!!!!!! OH MY... GOD!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  • @Milic23 And he's a pilot now........so talented, and now this......I don't get it. But if you follow your heart...than this is maybe what he really want's to do?!

  • Queensryche isnt Queensryche without Chris DeGarmo.. Thats one badass mofo..

  • A dislike vote? Must be Dr.X.

  • @JelmervanGroningen Damn that, Dr.X ! 

  • да мне 35 лет и я считаю что это один из лучших альбомов за всю историю рока!я на память знаю все гитарные партии этого альбома!Mindcrime!

  • 4:28 So fucking powerful. Pamela Moore and Geoff Tate is probably the best duet ever. I can't listen to this song without feeling the utmost appreciation for the talent that I am being subjected too in this song.

  • THE BEST ALBUM IN THE UNIVERSE...

  • LOVE this band...always will!

  • The MOST important album in my life!!!!! No words can describe.!!!! <3<3

  • The ending scream....YOU"RE MINE!!!!!!!! That's the best ever!

  • I'm just glad I got to see this concert in Louisville, Ky.!!!!!!

  • God damn it, is this pure awesomeness or what???

    I need to turn my fridge into a time machine and get back to the 80's...

  • @ved76 better be a big fridge, i know me and a few thousand others on youtube would love to join you! :)

    i guess it wouldn't be back to the 80's for me, it would be my first time...

  • i am so disappointed....that i never saw them live

  • They were and are an amazing band. I saw them live 3 times and never was disappointed.

  • Does anyone know what guitar Chris Degarmo used?
