Stryper has been doing a lot of covers lately. I know their voices are different, but I would love to hear Michael Sweet and Stryper cover this, just to see.
Geoff Tate's Haunting voice,with great power and can pull you in.Deep Lyrics and solid rocking guitar .I cant believe the limited air play they get but 30 years and going strong just proves they dont listen to idiot record executives who just want to make money.I hope they keep rocking until they want to stop on their own terms
Geoff Tate truely is tied for the greatest singer of all time! i mean its so powerful and beautiful and so much range. tied with Bruce Dickinson of Iron Maiden! Queensryche are also my 2nd favorite band!
I met Scott Rockenfield at the 2008 NAMM Show in Anaheim, CA . He's an awesome guy and was nice enough to let me take a picture with him. I also bumped into Michael Wilton as well later that night in the bar at the Anaheim Hilton.
Geoff Tate in his prime was incomparable. Dio, Halford and Dickinson-the (un)Holy Trinity of Rock supremacy would be hard pressed to match the diction, power, clarity, and full chested high notes in Queen of the Reich for instance.
when Chris De Garmo isn't playing...i don't get goosebumps. It just doesn't affect my soul the same. When he's there the music goes straight to my soul.
@zholyrebel Yea for sure not the same without Chris and I can understand why G. Tate didnt want to sing the scream intro but it "IS" the songs trademark. not the same without either. Oh well still a great band regardless.
No matter how many times I've heard this. I STILL get the chills!

I love this song but he just failed his ''Throw down the chains of oppression that bind you
With the air of freedom the flame grows bright
We are the strong, the youth united
We are one, we are children of the light'' with the high scream at the end, srry but for me this part must be perfect.

Hopefully DeGarmo's children will be off to college and his wife will find a hobby and he can come back to the band.
