You should remake this about Obama and his communist cabinet. Obama has done far more damage by lieing about his hope and change, and the new illegal war he got us into, the 9.2% unemployment, green energy scandals, redistribution of wealth (making us all equally poor), and his failures. It would be perfect to expose the truth about Obama now.

How many true artist can feel that they hit a home run!!!!!!!!!!! When ever we write,were if anyone hear's it or not. We know we wrote & smiled while doing so. Keep reaching for that star, for you may reach it some day. If not you can die in peace knowing you gave it your all..............................Love you all. Shawn
My story of me nearly leaving this world shouldn't phase you, but relate it to you and your lives, and you will see that music can make a difference.; and in an instant life can be taken away... Believe me, when I was wheeled into the CC unit, it was not clear if I was going to make it... I had this song in my mind the entire time... It took me from bleeding to death to a chance I would survive, to recovery, and then walking out of the hospital that I was supposed to die in... Peace... dp....
But when broken rib bones miss your heart by centimeters, and you have four ribs protruding from you body and you see blood shooting from your body with each breath you take, life then takes on a whole new meaning... I can remember the doctors rushing above me and could hear them talking about with the amount of blood I had lost whether I was going to make it... Those doctors put me back together and I can live another day to love and enjoy this song...
That was nearly 16 years ago.... and I remember it like it was yesterday... When you nearly die and leave this earth, you remember life as it was right before it was nearly taken from you... It's amazing to me how songs can leave you with great feelings of joy, or just be the words you need to hear to keep you alive..Literally... Those 11 days when my life was in the balance, The words from this song, and it's hypnotic beat kept me alive... I have the scars to prove that life with faith heals..
I was in CC in a hospital after a near death accident, and this song was playing very loud in my car stereo when the fragile gift of life was nearly taken... I was in CC for 11 days and when I awoke, I had a full beard and still had this song in my ears... I had my nurse have my parents bring in my CD player and I listened to this CD until I was well enough to leave the hospital... With the extent of my injuries, I was in a morphine drip state of sedation, but this album saved my life..
I know that everyone has a life event that any song they listen to relates to, however, this song has a very special meaning to my life, because this song, as well as the entire Promise Land Album saved my life... This song is about the end of life... Hence the opening verse... "Watching the sand fall, (listening), and waiting, for the knock upon on my door, and waiting, for Promise Land"... A clear reference of being gone from this life and being in the coffin... questioning lifes decisions
Do you realize that thinks have gone down a mountain slope since Bush left office, and you idiots elected Obama as Commander in Chief? He is the antithisist of the opposite of what Dr. Martin Luther King wanted. GET UP OFF OF YOUR ASS, BUT YOUR ASS, AND WORK FOR A FREAKING LIVING!! Don't give me this 400 years of opression bullshit! The Jews are still in the cross-hairs of the world, which, unfortunately includes the U.S. You don't see 60percent of the jail population with them! Blacks, illegals
Good song BUT... Not sure how a baseball stadium, gas station, house painter, ms clip art, or Bush put into a Power point has anything to do with the lyrics of this song......
I come from a very miserable place and believe me. Socialism is not the answer. Compare Kenya to South Korea and tell me why when Kenya used to have 5 times the Production rate of Korea, a few years later is the other way around. Misery is in the minds of the people who live it. And there's nothing any resource you give them is going to do to help them. They have to change for themselves.
Hehe, when you find a different alternative to Capitalism, which is what this guy's video is portraying other than socialism. Please let me know. Unless your genoius goes beyond any human knowledge and you think that Feudalism is actually better. Next time try to think before you write, dumbo.
are you trying to be an idiot, or does it just come naturally? show me one place where this video mentions capitalism, socialism or any other political/economic system. until then go back to your 'very miserable place' and bitch about it to them.
jesus christ, you really validate the stereotype that poor people are also stupid. this probably also explains why you live in the third world in uzbekistan. enjoy starving every other day of the week moron, i'll console myself with the fact that i have a real education and a home that isn't a shack :)
Wait? You're subscribed to Aljazeera, the Terrorist's TV station and you pretend to have an argument? You're the lamest dumbass I have ever met on the internet. Allow me to chuckle.
Well done Rikrik for a beautiful video. I think your rendition is spot on! The album in general and the song in particular are definitely amongst my all time favourites. Thanks once again for a job well done.
Yes, this was very well made. You must have quite a media collection. Very well made, I'll check out the other ones. Congratts' on your new Subscribee!
When don't you go get a job instead of wasting your time on the web and use it on getting into a course on how not to be a complete mollusk? You surely know who you are messing with, don't you? Though guy.. you're a pathetic Cyberbully who must have had got raped by the entire football team and then analized with dildos by the Cheerleaders. You don't like my opinion? SUCK IT!!!
Be sure to get some real parenting and some real education. Because unless you want to be the next Paris Hilton and have the money to do it you're not going to get too far in life. People like you abound and you're the actual reason of this crisis and current decadence of the western world. I'm not your friend. Thank You.
i 'm looking forward to the tear jerker videos when they get done.but also don't forget someone else as well.please let me know when you get it posted thanks.
@Rikrik1138 good job,i actually put a queensryche song on one of my gaming videos...problem is the younger generations dont appreciate classic ryche now unfortunately..underrated song and album
this was a good tour.the empire tour was good to.mindcrime 2 is good as well.i'll wait until you finish the whole album before i look at all the videos.i wonder how you are going to pull off the tear jerkers on the album.good video as well.
You're welcome! I had a blast making this, I really got into the zone and worked like all night on it, but it seemed like only a couple of hours, then I looked up and it was daylight outside. I'm making a video for each song on the Promised Land album. If you thought this was intense, you should see my I Am I video.
i love the song.one of their best.the video is good to.but their is also the live version of this song on youtube as well.but this is the best version.thanks.and this is queensryche era 1994/95.
because it's a sad song. it's about the american dream being a lie, and how were told we can be anything we want to be, that there's no limit, yet less than 1% of us actually achieve the american dream, living in poverty, debt, and ruled by a govenment who is looking at their own best interests instead of the people's. That's why this is a sad song.
some say this video misses something, i say Bravo! great effort, we all see what we will
