Queensryche - Anybody Listening?

[LynchSixx1313]

musically and lyrically genius!!

[ISee44s]

this song is new to me again, and chills rush when I listen to it.

[sp00ktube]

This was a super group, a one of a kind.

[ljeane23]

Most definitely the most passionate and distinctly pssionate man (and the bankd too..) that I have everheard.....ahhh, would I just once more wish a dream come true to see them, just once more, just oncel.......undescribable talent - I just love Queensryche!!!

[yougoobr]

I gotta buy all their cd's again. They dont make music like this anymore. Truely AWESOME!

[cathell16]

WE ARE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! (Listening) :D

[NikonFstopper]

Powerful stuff here, very deep and meaningful. Wonderful too!

[angel2rx]

amazing

[zapper9987]

0:01

[luna67778]

Love it!

[jayepaws]

I love this song so much. i was listening to it when a call came in to tell my parents that there friend died of cancer March 2 1992. so when I hear this I remember him too & the battle he lost Rip Nick & Dad 2005 love you all Jaye

[icedirony]

everybody is listening YOU!!! auti i foni apla den uparxei...

[TCCcholo]

im listening! :)

[Viviennaify]

I want that 70's and 80's to last forever..

[krazybytch7]

Only 83,197 views?? WTF??

[dorukapartmani]

Where have all those good years gone? A heartbreaking song.

[jamesdburt]

Dig these guys! I wish the art director would have intervened with the choice of attire, however.

[Iceburgh6901]

@jamesdburt The choice of attire was fairly typical for late 80's-early 90's Seattle.

[kingleosparti1]

Lyrically brilliant!!!



[StratMatt777]

Attention- this music video edits out cool guitar parts, such as the the intro and at 1:17... and probably the outro but I'm not listening that far.

One of the best bands ever (at least until 1998 when Chris Degarmo left).

[JoaoT805]

@StratMatt777 this is the single and video version.

album version runs 7:41.

record companies do this so as not to "overwhelm" the casual listeners of this song.

[StratMatt777]

@JoaoT805 I know. :) For anyone discovering this song for the first time on youtube- they need to know that the original is better and that they should find the original version to listen to on here.

[JoaoT805]

@StratMatt777 haha alrighty.

yeah the album version does have those cool guitar parts youre talking about.

[MsPhysco1]

i freaking love him! and his music its deh bomb!! so haters if yuh dont like him den back off

[junior0420]

It really pisses me off that this doesn't have more veiws....maybe because its not spoonfed to our youth.

[animesh66]

And they say that rock music is devoid of emotions? This is rock music with SOUL.

[deaddecker10]

my first Queensryche tape, (yes i said tape) was "rage for order" and ive been a Q-lifer ever since

[MissFriponne]

@deaddecker10 My older brother had a Queensryche tape also. I used to sneek in his room when he wasn't there to listen to it. As a matter of fact I still have that tape. :)

[talessman]

My 2nd most favorite song of all time, almost as good as Dream Theater-Pull Me Under!

[s4mbor4]

is he WWE wrestler? :D

[MissFriponne]

Memory lane for me. Weird when you are young you don't get the meaning of the songs but when you listen to them when you have matured, they take a whole new meaning. It's like they take on a second life.

[Drsnafubar]

@MissFriponne Yeah, copy that. takes me back to a time when things were better in my life. Makes me happy and sad at the same time

[chrisbenson98]

@MissFriponne Agreed. There are many tunes that have taken a second life with me that I used to jam back in the day. There are not many modern "rock" tunes that have the same effect on me though.

[missbevcrusher]

@chrisbenson98 To tell you the truth, I can't stand most of today's music. I don't listen to the radio or watch tv. I hear names of famous people and I don't even know who they are. I stick to the classics which resonate with me. I like music with real meaningful lyrics. Maybe that's why I like stuff from the 60s, 70,s and 90s

[heavymetalleprechaun]

why does geoff look like a wrestler haha.fuckin kneepads and shit

[apachestan]

Love this band...Love this whole fuckin album...got it for Christmas one year and wore it out. these guys really said something, even if we didn't always hear it or understood what they were tryin to say...

[nonameavailableuser]

These guys have a great story to tell of extreme 'evil' in some songs and also an expansive view of the universe in their own special way.

[gatorclaw]

that's right: think for yourself and feel the walls become sand beneath your feed... (why is there any debate... this is one of the greatest tunes of all time.

[onehotguy4u2enjoy]

You Bettcha  to is there ANYBODY LISTENING

[maleficent1968]

I miss Chris degarmo theyjust don't sound the same

[dustyncarol]

thats what I say sometimes is there anybody listening . Dose anyone smile with out a mask .Great song

[Mcjabberwalkie]

"Think for yourself and feel the walls become sand beneath your feet".Best Band to rock my World. Keep Rychen&Rollin

[Flavie479]

mon groupe préféré en plus Jeff Tate est super beau!!!

[mykahsdad]

One of the BEST VIDEOS EVER!!

[dana41ful]

favorite song of all time

[cryostation]

this is music. long live the 80s and 90s

[oosakinana]

long ago, there was a dream -- had to make a choice or two -- leaving all i loved behind for what nobody knew. stepped out on the stage alive under lights and judging eyes, now the applause has died and i can breathe again...

[Bastige56]

I wish I had a band that sounded like this.

[robyncosby]

hes still yummy lol

[PAOGOTCHA]

i just got the chills from listening to this great jam!!!!! havnt heard this jam for a long time!!!!

[1SaJaNa]

świetny utworek :)

moje ulubione kawałki- 3:27 i 3:43

[mopardust73]

This is an example of a time when music was good and you needed talent.

[mopardust73]

This is an example of a time when music was good and you needed talent.

[mileyfanlover2009]

he is yummy in anything...

[Neueregel]

@mileyfanlover2009 How can you possibly listen to Miley and idolize Geoff?? Those 2 seem incompatible. QR have real music and not brainless songs driven by mass media frenzy.

[Starchild798]

@Neueregel Neuergei,s right ,Miley Cyrus is a fucking idiot who just wants attention from the media and her daddy.That retard has a lot of issues and not a shred of talent.Queensryche has more talent in their fingers and toes than the Cyruses have in their assholes combined together with 2 jackasses

[lowriderbandfan]

@mileyfanlover2009, or nothing, lol

[109Thunder]

Rob Halford is a flamer. Geoff is married with kids. His outfit has nothing to do with his sexuality.

[stvrules]

Great song, but I bet Geoff could take back his choice in clothing. That all black skin tight out fit with string like tank top and knee pads is ghastly!

[rockkilla17]

i see a rob halford dress code there

[bobthelego99]

What album was this?

[BURNINLUV4US]

@bobthelego99 the album is empire

[bruno18demaior]

O nome da música é "CRIMSON AND CLOVER, OVER AND OVER"

[Genial1990]

great song... but video... oh my god... :)

[lukewj]

Geoff Tate looking like a WWE wrestler in this vid :P You all know you thought it!

[lowriderbandfan]

@lukewj , I think he looks yummy. : ) Peace.

[kmr2314]

"Long ago there was a dream, had to make a choice or two.  Leaving all I loved behind, for what nobody knew..." incredible

[joewatch1971]

Great song , this is just ggo solid Rock and Roll ...........But the video is ridicoluos !!!

[MrScalvin317]

These guys rock

[Orbital79]

AWESOME

[Orbital79]

Its weird that my comment was rejected for saying that his song gives me hope for tomorrow, maybe my commets were evil. yes. thx

[35empress35]

Truly a masterpiece of a song!!!!!!

[maninitogomez]

chingona rola!!!!

[1SaJaNa]

przez kilka lat nuciłam sobie tę piosenkę i nie mogłam sobie przypomnieć zespołu i przez przypadek ją znalazłam - hhhhuuurrrraaaa 8]

dzięki

[1SaJaNa]

i pomyśleć że minęło już  20 lat

jak to przeleciało

[bambamh20]

QUEENSRYCHE 4LIFE !

[TheFolkUtopia]

I logged in days listening to Empire when I was a kid. Queensryche truly gave credit to the potential of Metal and rock.

[TheKillingword]

there are at least 5 songs better than silent lucidity in empire only-so it isn't something they couldn't top cause it isn't their top

[strmraisr]

Every song on Empire is as good as Silent Lucidity. It got more play though. This band however isn't ruined by any means. They are to high quality for that. Queensryche will sell out shows as long as they want to.

[ASeasonedWitch]

strmraisr - I agree. Every song is more or less a master piece to me. Love every minute of it. A great set of tunes.

[mejiacry]

muy bien mirA cRy ambato fROm EcuADor

[LARGEPECKER4HIRE]

Silent Lucidity ruined this band...

Why ??? Because they could'nt top that song ,,,,,no matter how hard they tried ....

That's a shame here ..... That song was the only reason I even bought a QR CD ..... sad but true fella's

Now all you QR fanatics keep the faith here .......

Sorry QR .... but that's life man .....

[itsgottabejanelle]

is there anybody listening....who smiles behind their mask

[TJvigilante]

@itsgottabejanelle might want to get the lyrics right if you're going to quote things randomly.

[AudioFixation]

i understood... we dont need no education!!!

[PurrfectHeart]

My dad took me to see them live. It was my first (and best!) concert, and now I really like lots of music ^.^

[lowriderbandfan]

That is one excellent dad of yours. Ryche On!

[pooderpie5150]

outstanding singer then and still sounds the same i saw them live last year .best show ive seen

[mpcinlv]

..... think for yourself and feel the walls become sand beneath your feet .... favorite song line of all time

[ckeanup123]

He wears knee pads because he wants to and he dosent want to be in pain when he falls. lol jk i dont know why guess it's an 80's trend

[SOFIAgandako]

haha at first I was like hmm must be why then I read the rest lol

[blood669line669]

thats cuz it was in tha 80`s

[UltraBrandon1]

i love queensryche soooo freakin much... but seriously, what's up with the fucking knee pads??? he's probably like, "i'm geoff tate, i'm gonna wear some fuckin kneepads!!"

[Kelgan]

I grew up in the 80s and I don't know any heavy metal guys wearing knee pads. ;p I LOVE this song though, so I'll forgive Tate.

[moodysoup]

Haha, that shirt...

[TheLivingDeadOne]

I always loved QR, right from the start. In fact,. once apon a time, someone thought i was Geoff Tate, I mean ONCE APON A TIME,. Im far from looking like him now,. Life fucks you over sometimes,. while your busy making other plans,.

[87113productions]

QR reminds me of Gary Wright !!

Either you are a total fan or you only like Silent Lucidity .... maybe Jet City Woman ...

Gary Wright (Dreamweaver ...etc) never got the respect he deserved and sadly the same goes for QR..... I am just being honest here so all you QR fans don't get to worked up here ....

Peace

[jettadude736]

Its sad but true

[CerebralContusion]

I don't like Queensryche, anymore. In my opinion, after Rage For Order, their music became "too accessible." In other words, their "committment" to heavy rock was gone. However, if I HAD to pick a 'ryche favorite or two, it'd be Queen of The Reich or Walk In The Shadows.

[danrush64]

DORK!

[brnpenn]

geoff tate has one of the widest vocal ranges in rock/ or metal. he didnt get enough crdit as a great band, i agree simply amazing

[35empress35]

This song-everybody who has anything in their head,can say that is one of the BESTEST SONG E V E R !!!! Think,think,think people do not follow,use your own head.The bend is awesome,I can not believe they did not make it bigger then all these other bends mentioned bellow

[MrFRO4484]

greatest band out of Seattle ever!!!! fuck nirvana pearl jam jimi hendrix and soundgarden

[taxman806]

Although I agree with you on QR being the best band to come out of Washington PERIOD...I would never discount PearlJam or SoundGarden (or even the Pumpkins) and especially not JIMI! What I hated about the afore mentioned bands is they basically killed off the metal scene and it's sad but...FUCK NIRVANA and I agree with you there WHOLE HEARTEDLY! lol

[xVxful]

I love Queensryche. buut, is it just me? or does almost ALL their music videos look the same?

[CrookedX777]

Almost all music videos in general look too alike in my opinion. There are some pretty unique ones though.

[DEMONSPEED2112]

cherrywallop is a radio junkie! the only bands that deserve to be there! what an idiot jackass thing to say. this is the same person that buys all the token songs b/c thats whats cool and doesn't know shit about music! what an ass!-3 bands in the whole hall of fame huh? metallica until the after the black album and even thats questionable.1988 was the end of them-Floyd and Skynyrd def. but not the only ones.go learn something about music buddy!

[makemebadfan35]

i listen to this song everyday because its awesome

[mkultra138]

Hell yeah it is! Queensryche are on of the most under rated bands out there.

[DERedhead65]

omg Geoff is "right up there" in HOTNESS with Steve Perry, Neal Schon, David Coverdale, Robert Plant, Jim Jamison, Kip Winger, etc... for me anyhow. Oh sorry, lol, didn't mean to get carried away... SO SO SEXY though, damn! him and the song! Queensryche ROCKS!

[xTheStance]

Wtf this song sucks...

I want to hear some songs like Queen of the Reich not some guy holding himself with his hairy boobs hanging out of his leather..

[finncade]

It's funny that out of everything in this video that you focused on a man's hairy boob and where he placed his hand.

This song is really haunting and shows another side to the band's outstanding abilities to write incredible music.

Geoff Tate is by far the greatest vocalist on the planet.

[zeektyhbomb]

well, if you don't like some guy holding themselves with their hairy boobs hanging out, i guess you'll never be able to stand 80's rock... why don't you go back to listening to your hanna montana albums and keeping your opinion to yourself. : )

[xTheStance]

Don't even try that, i don't listen to Hannah Montana obviously, don't be a dumb ass. I just don't like power ballads, i like some of their other stuff im just saying he's holding his hairy boob.

[zeektyhbomb]

fair enough : )... heres a question though, do you at least like empire(the song)... also my comment was satire(hence the smiley) and i said it because your comment WAS offensive to those who may like the song and i was trying to be offensive back to show you... however i am to cheery to do so... all i can say is enjoy your day and I wish you good

: )

[makemebadfan35]

these guys are toooo good.

[mdover95]

Because the Rnr HOF is in fact just a tourist moneymaking ginmmick whose voting members have little knowledge of REAL musical talent, longevity, or songwriting ability.....they'd rather set their minds to thinking that Frankie Valli is the "sliced bread" of our time than open to their ears and minds to what real music is...(except of course for inductees such as Pink Floyd, etc.....the pthers are just fluff)

[CherryWallop]

Pink Floyd, metallica, and Lynyrd Skynyrd are the only bands in the Hall of Fame that deserve to be there.

[friskycake]

Think for yourself and feel the walls become sand beneath your feet

[girlfriday59]

JT didn't bring sexy back because with Geoff around it never effing left. That tank top! Those leather pants! That amazing voice! OMG he's mouthwatering.Even in the I Am I video with buzzed hair he's delicious. Yummy, yummy .And btw, I could sure think of some ways those knee pads could come in handy! His wife is a lucky,lucky,lucky girly. I am green with envy. Oh, just so the guys don't think I'm all about sexy Geoff, my ipod is loaded with Queensryche.

[buminbeer2]

Awesome, here is his vocal range, I thought is was more, but from Wiki and who knows? His 4-octave range, unique tone and intense expressiveness have placed him among the finest vocalists in the heavy metal genre. Nothing I cannot disagree to!

[jillssoulsister]

I agree! And you guys are such a breath of fresh air! I LOVE QUEENSRYCHE!!!

[SportsFrenzy2]

Underrated song - poetic, awesome!  "Empire" is a fantastic album!

[p3wnman1]

Why isn't Queensryche in the rock and roll hall of fame again? These guys are really good, they deserve A LOT of credit for "creating" the staple for 80s' and 90s' rock and soft rock bands. (don't really like either of those types of music from the 90s' and 80s', but Queensryche is an exception.

[GreatLakesGoddess]

OMG Geoff is delicious to look at....all that and talent too????ooooh baby!!!!!

[jimmilee71]

Besides Geoff having a great voice, he layers his vocal tracks on this song, thus making it impossible to sing alone live. And that is a fact

[Ahollamockee]

is it possible to make even a decent cover of this song ? there so amazing and geoffs voice is one of a kind

[nitalineco]

someone should remake this song...its bad ass

[RememBr92]

no one should touch this song

[TheKidGuitarist]

No one CAN touch this song. It's too good.

[sueintexas]

Geoff's voice is spectacular but I miss Chris DeGarmo singing backup.

[Dreadmore]

great tune!!

[meloncollie75]

One of the best albums of all time, doesn't get the credit it deserves. You can listen to from begining to end.

[RememBr92]

geoff tate is perfection, queensryce is uncompariable

[dmsmith61]

Perfectly stated. The new album is AWESOME, I highly recomend it.  They aren't older, man they are as good as always. Cant improve upon perfection!

[kingdiamond5]

better than silent lucidity i think

[curtis198455]

ASS KICKIN' 7+

[jetcitywoman76]

Amazing voice...I can listen to it over and over.

[Ahollamockee]

then again this was way before my time no disrespect to Ryche or Geoff. As if there is anyway to insult such and amazing band : )

[Ahollamockee]

Video is awesome his voice is undisputed but that 1 outfit lol i dont know bout that

[ravenrapunzel]

Geoff Tate sings like an angel with his beautiful, classically trained voice. He's so gorgeous that he looks like one, too! Queensryche forever!

[KermitForPresident]

The answer is no, nobody's listening.  I know that I'm not. *walks away*

[daremejustabit]

WOW! A trip back in time...reminds me of my ole buds T. Letizia & Kathy & Mike....sure wish I could find them. Any ways, ROCKIN song! Thanks!

[DSINKS]

I miss my long hair........

These guys still rock for sure!!

[BeefBurgers]

I don't like this chopped up version.

[GrendelKiller2]

Great song by Queensryche!

They still rock!
