Disagreed. Geoff in this song sounds like the current Bruce Dickinson not the 80's Bruce. Bruce and Maiden just got better with age wish I could say the same about Queensryche.
Apparently, this song is about Pennhurst Sate School and Hospital. It was a mental asylum that got closed down because the employees were abusing the patients.
Queensryche is very underrated their a really good 80's 90's metal band i dont know much about except they have wonderful songs and this one tops it....the video always came on VH1 Classics Metal Mania and it wasl ike a thriller movie....
@younghatter --- You are right, but in Maidens "Piece of Mind" days. He's lost that particular smooth and "high, higher" pitch he used to have. "Losfer words" so to speak. ;-)
@younghatter --- something else is odd by the way, as we speak about Maiden. Is it me, or does - 0:39 - sounds a bit like Maidens "Somewhere in Time" too...... :-)
I had the chance to see them live on the bang your head festival 2008.... and was to drunken, so i slept on the street... don't let alcohol destroy your chances to see great bands on festivals :(
Love this song, anyone else think these guys are like maiden? Well the singer can do the same harmonies in the chorus tht bruce dickinson does on the powerslave album anyway
Awesome thanks. Never have grown tired of their music. I saw them opening for judas priest in early eighties in Shreveport La. Loudest band I ever heard but still could hear every note, at least I think it was me.
Straight jacket memories, sedative highs..... I remember being 17 and following this whole story... one of the best concept albums ever effing made- period
(head bowed with forearms crossed with two pairs of devil horns stuck straight out)
close your eyes and count to 60...when u count to 60 open ur eyes and then say the name of the person you want to be with forever....say his or her name 10 times and then say ur name 3 times...the upcoming friday ur dream guy or girl will come up yo you and say i want to be with u forever....it works trust me....post this on at least 5 videos or this will not happen.......
@easyscore Chicken Foot has future hall of famers in the band. Sammy Hagar, Joe Satriani, Michael Anthony, and Chad Smith. Remember, QR is without DeGarmo.
