  • i love this song!!!!!

    

  • It is sad that I didn't realize how AMAZINGLY GOOD this song was when it came out. Well, Queensryche, it is a sad truth that greatness isn't realized until many years later when one looks back and says, "DAMN! THOSE GUYS WERE GREAT!!"

  • Queensryche was a band ahead of its time. Their sound was the Pink Floyd of the 90's, but it never took. Their lyrics were haunting; a portent into the police state of a future we now face.

  • hi im 40 and been doing the  queensryche thing 4 the last 20 years always loved all meatal but you will go a long way be4 you can find a band 2 match them you have 2 admitt there gona take sum beating...............

  • Criminally underrated band, this album kicks so much ass it would make Chuck Norris proud

  • best "Concept Album": of all time.,..bar none....even The Wall, IMHO...

  • @elwayfanatic have you not heard 2112 from rush??

  • the best metal album. and one of the best in music history

  • word is all of us.

  • Awesome video, love this group

  • HOLY CRAP!! This band was AWSOME!!! I Haven't heard vocals like that in God knows how long..

  • this is when music was good you can jam to it now this crap thay have out now is junk

  • F*cking Brilliant

  • Thanks God Queesnryche exist, thanks God best musi exist

  • Who killed Mary? Mary commited suicide.....poor Mary..........

  • Michael, we need Whip Ale down here....quench our thirst!!!! Queensryche forever!!!

  • ahhhh queensryche, loved you guys in the 80's still love you today...Chris, reunion please!!! Eyes of a Stranger my fav song ever...Geoff, only you will ever do that song justice.........Love you guys forever!!! 'Ryche On.............\m/(^_^)\m/

  • fwnara..........!!!!!!

  • Great charachter In this band, they are just too cool in their sound..PERFECT...FLAWLESS !!!!!

  • its funny that Geoff is waring a shirt that says Perfect because that describes his vocals. he is the best singer of all time.

  • This song is definitely not from 2006...damn record labels lie!

    One of the BEST albums I've ever heard in my life. One of those very

    few albums that you can play from beginning to end, with never hitting

    the forward button. Also, one of the most under rated albums of all time

    in my opinion. Pure genius in musicality and concept album terms.

  • @Deetroiter

    Released on May 3, 1988 think the remastered release was 2003 don't know where they came up with 2006

  • They dont eaven sound like Iron Maiden, wtf are u tryn to say mpk3432. They make damn good music for me.

  • Communist fags

  • 10 people who dislike this video must die

  • see these guys are like a wannabe iron maiden to me :S

  • @mpk3432 not wannbe iron maiden more like pink floyd thats who they copied for this album anyway

  • @mpk3432 No...just...no. All Iron Maiden songs sound the same and they can never make a song as good as Silent lucidity

  • Zchris 98 .,., You've got to be kidding me !!!!Queen of the Ryche and all the early stuff kicks ass, but to say anything off the best concept album of all time is shit !!! Where the hell have you been ??? Mindcrime put the ryche on top of the world where they belonged.,., Music evolves.,. go with it, or get out.,,.

  • i can't believe there's no full 6 min version for this video

  • operation mindcrime is still one of the most kick-ass albums ever made...Seattle sprout forth some of the best fucking singers and musicians of all time....

  • Tate is the best vocalist ever !

  • i think its sad that lady gaga and Justin bieber are being mentioned on the best songs in the world. Were moving into a new age of music and films where new stars and artists will arise ,but the legends will remain LEGENDS.

  • @UBCSROB couldn't agree more!

  • ....and now Q. is death

  • wow, im gonna be honest. this is shit compared to queen of the ryche. its sad to know that they lowered their standards for their music over time. they were too good of musicians to turn into this. i guess money really gets to people. its sad. the albums with queen of the ryche and warning were all time classics. after warning they went mainstream hair metal and went down hill. love the old shit but i cant jam to this. its a shame.

  • Unique!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  • This stuff was, is, and will forever be, magic.

  • LISTEN PPL>>IMPORTANT MESSAGE<< TODAY NOT A LOT OF PPL KNOW VERY GOOD OLD SCHOOL BANDS,SO LETS MAKE THEM KNOW

    DEF LEPPARD,GUNS N ROSES,MOTLEY CRUE,METALLICA,QUEENSRYCHE,QUE­EN,BOSTON,IRON MAIDEN,AC/DC,KROKUS,QUIET RIOT,SCORPIONS,TWISTED SISTER|||||||THUMBS UP AND COPY/PASTE EVERYWHERE THAT POSSIBLE,TO LET THEM KNOW ABOUT IT ||||||||

  • quality never fades op mindcrime has 2 b one of best

  • 9 stupids gay people

  • @enemigodelashit Now there are 10...

  • Album tells an amazing story through each song. These guys had true talent.

  • more like geoff taint

  • 9 people don't like this? What?

  • @removetube yes its true its sad we dont need neither gay pop star singer justin bieber. glee is a gay version of high school musical and american idol the auditions are best lol you got to know im not a lady gaga fan I think she is the next generation madonna anyways queensyrche is a awesome band we got untalented singers like t pain he sings with autotune i bet his voice is shit and others queensyrche ftw.

  • Dr: David telephone please is Motley Crue intro in Dr: feelgood.

  • the guitarist looks exactly like reb beach lol

  • those 9 people can suck my dick...!!

  • This Album defines my youth!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  • the girl playin sister mary is fuckin HOT. i'd give it to her in the confessional booth

  • that guys voice is unbelievable... this songs one of the best ever

  • @popp2crazy Yeah - Geoff Tate is actually a trained singer. This comes from the era of music not based on "looks" but on "voice". Something you need when you LISTEN. :) Amazing what a production studio can do to the current-day no-talent hacks.

  • @junegloom2006 i think u like to watch yourself type because what u just said had nothing to do with my comment. Your statement was just stating the obvious that anyone who listens to music knows..

  • Love MindCrime. Get a kick out of all the "big hair" I see. Very great (and underrated) band.

  • Put this band up with the Who as far as great concept albums. Queensryhe one of the greatest bands ever.

  • @lawman446 is anyone else thinking that it should actuall be spelled Mind Krime

  • It is..exactly...what "they" do/ ~~~

  • One of the best albums ever made. That even does not give it justice.

  • @27ljta,, It's is Sad that, we live in a world where, Justin bieber, Lady Gaga, Glee, and American idol is called music and sells the most. :(

  • Comment removed

  • @Kahnlovesmen,: One, little boy pee pants, my reply was to someone who said it was sad Queensryche doesn't sell anymore. Two, Go fuck yourself. Three, Im not a "fan boy", I bought this album and the ones before it, the day they came out. Four:, This is a great Album, and I still have the VHS from which this video comes from. Five, Go Fuck yourself! Six, I can see by your Blank channel, you're the Troll.

  • @removetube You need help. I agree - these guys and many others like them are still great. But, what I'm saying is, you're not helping the cause or doing Queensryche any favors by posting stuff like this or making fixated comments insulting "alternative" singers as you stated before. You're completely ruining it for them.

  • @Kahnivorous alternative shouldnt be a style of music it bullshit

  • @removetube The Ryche. nuff said./

  • @removetube I still have the same video. Will not get rid of it for nothing in the world. One of rocks best bands ever.

  • @removetube Yeah, those guys suck, so why do people even like them at all

  • @removetube its sad that we live in a world that metal heads are so polluted by that garbage that they actually think about it and bring it up...Why not just forget about it and ignore the people who talk about it because then your truly only making the names you hate even Bigger...think about it bro...just ignore it let drones be drones:P

  • @removetube times change  brother

  • @removetube You see guys, theres no point and keep talking about this pseudo artists below every good and real artist because now we have to keep reading their names just after listem to a great piece of art.

    Of course the children and Young, everyone had better music in the 60s or 70s because was the beggining of certain things and everything in the start is pure but them comes the machine and it becames a product

  • @removetube And everyone knows that a product become more and more artificial because thats the evolution of a product.

    The Word as we know is coming to an end. And we are becoming robots because we begun to think as robots to dance and to listen to music like robots...

    To have songs like this again or even better

    We have to change.We can do it.We are the ones the youth united

    Seriously guys, think about it...

    The wheater, the species, the quality of things, the crazy values

    cheers everyone

  • @removetube bro.. queensryche is american among with kiss motley crue etc.. and they used to be idols.. cant see a point in your 70 thumbs up comment :<

  • @removetube yo dude i totally agree, im 20 years old and i have been playing in bands since i was 18.. but the sad thing is all of my friends dont have the same taste in music as i do, theyre into that bullshit called rap or (retards attempting poetry) next id like to say that music has never been the same since national and international corporations got their hands in the mix, i.e disneys "jonas brothers" i just think that music nowadays is a joke, and real good rock n roll should rise again

  • @removetube In addition to that, today there are some decent rock music sounds, but not great vocals, only screamos :(

  • 3:10 badass

  • Try this, Doc.

  • Best rock album ever, best vocalist ever....I head they were possibly going to put Operation Mindcrime on Broadway.

  • this one of the best song of the late 80s

  • Talking about sound, the best album could be The Dark Side of The Moon, but talking about music and lyrics, dammnn, Operation Mindcrime is the best album ever...

  • opening sounds just like a song from The Wall

  • bands like queensryche,iron maiden,pink floyd,dire straits,led zep and dream theater are the reasons im a BIG TIME music fan and also a bassist

  • Every now & then I always come back to this for the sure Awesomeness of it.

  • great fucken song. also today september 21 is my birthday. just thought i would share that with someone :)

  • Comment removed

  • Fuckin good Song :-)

  • this was made in 1987 -1988 was one of a few made they was to make a video for every song on the album to make a movie but never went thru like it was planed to bad tho would have been cool to see it

  • @xbluanchovyx no 1988...

  • "People always turn away from the eyes of a stranger - afraid to know what lies behind the stare - lies behind MY stare."

    Always loved that line for some reason ;-)

    This band was soooo good up through "Promised Land" then Chris DeGarmo left.

    Oh well, it was fun while it lasted!

  • i dont even listen to metal but i like thiss....

    why arent there anymore bands like this...all of the "modern" ones sukk now..

  • Queensryche are talented musicians, one of the first group to come up with thematic recordings such as operation mindcrime. Their evolution has been impecable through these decades.

  • wHEN WAS THIS VID MADE?i SENT THEM POEMS AND ONE OF MINE WAS CALLED "EYES OF A STRANGER" *raising my eyebrow,with mouth deoped in wonder*

  • wHEN WAS THIS VID MADE?

  • true power metal \m/

  • @6cobaltblue1 I'm from near Seattle and Trust me ALL OF THE COUNTY OF KING (not Martin Luther either, as some try to claim. the county was named before he was born.) Is full of Lousy, spoiled rotten American Rights - hating Fascist pig dictators Who when they want A stadium they get one FROM TAX MONEY spent to appease the Looser (private owned) Baseball team, but need A bridge for EVERYONE and you gotta pay for it + interest out of pocket! Seattle YOU SUCK Bill Gates ASS!!!! before wiping!!

  • Mike left DT

  • Heavy Metal!!!!

    What These guys are a hair band?

    They Kick ASS!!! Alright

    But i couldnt consider them heavy metal.

  • @canniballegs6 These dudes are truth listen to the words. Who cares what you call them listen to the message dude.

  • grat song really....best times of my life....

  • saw these boys in the early days small club they were amazing .... but i feel theve lost it....

  • Elegant lyrics with powerful vocals with masterful guitar. One of the great bands of the 80's. While most bands were singing about getting laid, Queensrych would weave social commentary into their music - probably the only exposure most kids got to Reagan era politics.

  • @6cobaltblue1 gothic??really?

  • A great way to end one of the best albums of all time. Brilliant stuff. Thankyou for the upload

  • I was 18 when this came out-BEST ALBUM EVER!! MINDCRIME~~!!!

  • I was 17 in 1988 until June and this band was good. Alot of people blew them of with the empire album and Silent Lucidity but I thought it was awesome. People in my area wanted to listen to van halen, crue, ozzy, ratt, poison, bon jovi and stuff like that. Oh well. Check out yngview malmasteen he was pretty good stuff too. A little different.

  • I was born in 1990, but god damn I love the 80s.

  • One of the best albums from the late 80's, amazing work.

    XTINA

  • Man, this is one of the best songs ever...

  • This shit was on 1-800-Dial-MTV top 10 Videos one summer for a while. How can you not like this playing on "The Living Room TV" after dinner when you were young. The 80's were a great time to be a kid.

  • @dryerlint17 wish i couldve experienced it.

    only 17 but wish i was 17 in 1988!

  • great voice..

  • these guys kick ass i got to meet them at the after show party because their roady told them of my tattoo of their symbol on my forearm .i got their autograghs they said that it was nice to have true ryche fans that was in pittsburgh 1999

  • Comment removed

  • one of the best songs of all times and one of the best albums ever!

  • You Cut it off? the songs not over you ass....

  • Best Queensryche song ever, hands down. Those in agreement?

  • It's just unbeliaveble how young these guys were, when they created this masterpiece. It has everything, drama, darkness, love. crime, passion, hope and it's so soulfull. And guys were in their twenties - heavy metal stars, but yet so mature, so intelligent, not to mention THE TALENT AND SKILLS in their performance.

  • @MrsAcecard Absolutely! I commend this band for all the kickass songs they had. I saw them @ my 1st concert w/ Quiet Riot and Axe back in '83.

  • @MrsAcecard I agree, I heard it was possibly going to be put on Broadway

  • @MrsAcecard Amen.

  • yes, Mindcrime one hell of an album, Revolution......quite likely its' coming, get

    strong and be prepared ! (Video Mindcrime also quite excellent, check it out !)

  • I grew up listening to queensryche, megadeth, guns and roses. I have to say no music today will ever beat the sound and soul that these musicians put into their music. ROCK ON HAIR METAL!!!!

  • not only is this one of the greatest bands ever that is the coolest set of kegs in music!

  • the music is perfect queensryche is perfect

  • @lolo29ism

    I'm agree...I saw them in 1997 & 2008 en Argentina and was Amazing!!, and really Perfect!!.

  • gonna go see these guys next saturday, can't wait!!!

  • Operation Mindcrime album is ranked #1 on Digital Dream Door's list of the top 100 progressive metal albums of all time, no wonder : ) it's a masterpiece

  • @szkcs is empire number 2? lol

  • @JoaoT805

    nahh, it's Images and Words by Dream Theater

  • @szkcs oh nice. i went to check out that list.

    empire is #9. not too bad.

  • 7 people had a seizure from this epic song and accidentally hit the dislike button. Im 11 and this is one of my fave songs ROCK ON QUEENSRYCHE!

  • @Bakucryptid77 Rock on man!

  • rap sucks

  • Holy shit the singer is amazing! Genius.

  • I have loved Queensryche since the start. They are totally awesome. I LOVE U GEOFF.

    Sharon Hundson from Sacramento, CA

  • Cant.... stop..... pressing..... like button.

  • Best album ever? Yes, I think so.

  • A classic!!!!

  • I love the way he tells......

  • Great song,Great album,great band. I never get tired of listening to this. I got my kids into Queensryches music "they love it" and hopefully 1 day i'll get my grandkids into them.

  • Master piece!!!

  • Gotta love Geoff Tate. Not just is his voice great, but he actually know how to use it! Not many singers have as great control over their voice!

  • His singing style resembles that of Michael Kiske in some ways (Helloween). Definitely one of the most solid voices in the heavy metal scene.

  • @intermariogr So true. Its probably my favorite type of voices ever. Epic fucking vocals!

  • Awesome. I was sitting in my music theory class and the prof said. "Queensryche, a heavy metal band with good music and a front man that can sing. I almost fell out of my chair. Most of the class was about 19 years old and had no clue, but a couple of us died a little.

  • @vampav8trix

    Hey, 19 year olds aren't always clueless! I was raised on this stuff!

  • @doowstados Same here. I am now 28. Granted I do listen to harder stuff now I still listen to these guys and bands like Fates Warning and Dream Theater.

  • @vampav8trix You have a professor who can appreciate great music, great talent.

  • still jam this on my ipod when jogging

  • 7 idiots didn't like this video??? o my god, the world is going to the fuck :P

    learn to enjoy real music idiots :D

  • @valemadreishon yea the idiots that thumbed it down thought they were on a justin bieber video

  • easily one of the best songs and best albums of all time.

  • @glynnracing79 damn this song rocks

  • Sometimes I wish I could rewind MTV back 20 years so that I could watch these great old-school music videos. Man, music sucks today, and MTV doesn't play music anymore, except that new lil wayne Kesha crap every now and then.

  • @DarkRetroFan64 music like this cant be matched by the shit they put on tv today

  • @BloodBoxing You hit the bullseye brother (or sister). Music today sucks. It has absolutely no soul to it. Not like back in the day.

  • Show this to a fan of today's music.....if they think it sucks.....slap them.

  • god i love that drum set he has!!!!!!

  • Does anyone know where to find tab for this song?

  • Just perfect...

  • am i the only one who thinks the lead singer's hot? lol

  • one of my favorite albums. love it!!!

  • Eyes of a Stranger is one of my all time songs !!!

  • Amazing Song !!! I Love It \(^O^)/

  • They were better than Fate's Warning, but the whole guitar geek prog rock was never cool. Why would anyone take their cues from Rush? I mean, Queensryche was cool and all. But I mean, come on...

  • @JackOfferlott It was cool to Ryche fans , and to fans of exquisitely written , played and engineered music. These guys were the best of the best at their peak. And the dis to RUSH? You must not be Canadian , because hundreds of Canadian bands owe their success to the best trio to EVER step on stage. But everyone's entitled to their own opinion , and I respect yours , and give you my own.

  • @cncdaddy

    I was just breaking balls. I actually love Mindcrime and highly respect Neil Peart. I have to give it to you Canadians, you're awfully pleasant and polite. You're a true credit to your countrymen. Great post! I'm dying to check out Canada. Thanks for being so polite!

  • Ya know, this really takes me back to a time and a place that I really miss alot. Me and my buds with our hair teased to the fuckin moon, cruising downtown Indy the night before Queensryche at Market Square. The chicks in leather boots and tight minis. Life was great, and the big arena shows like that are gone now. These guys are among the most talented musicians I've ever seen...and I've seen alot. I'm 41 now, and what I wouldn't give to go back for awhile. Great times, and really great music!

  • I love the nun with the black eyeliner!!!

  • cheesey now looking back at it, but hell, queensryche has always been one of my favorites, no matter what their marketing people get them into.

  • going to see them Saturdaynight
