@celticattack Don't forget about Crimson Glory. Heavily influenced by Queensrÿche and their early power/progressive metal style that was the beginning of power metal in 1983 when they released their EP and some took notes in Vancouver such as Jag Panzer and Griffin who started out as heavy metal bands. When they played in NYC for the very first time it was a success and power metal really exploded there when more bands were interested.. Fates Warning, Hittman, Virgin Steele, Liege Lord, etc.
Absoluteley, Geoff Tate was about 24 years old - i believe - when he wrote the songs of Operation Mindcrime. They are very strong in music and strong in Society-Vision.
And ObtKG4 ....right a thinking mansband, like Rush !
One thing about QR I always loved....their 'think-outside-the-box' approach to writing lyrics....songs like this just weren't written back then in quite this way!!
wow i have listened to them all of my life and they always have the same effect on me i love them and always will think their music is one of the best ever in the entire world forever along with type o negative, such a truth to everything and mystical powers in every song to help heal awaken the spirit to its senses again so it seeks knowledge to wake up to the government and the control the reptilian shapeshifters in the government have and the new world order takeover plan wake up people ....,
this album created the us power metal scene, followed by many great bands such as crimson glory, heirapparent, lethal..too bad they lost their inspiration after promised land( their last GREAT album in my opinion).
Tates' vocals and DeGarmos' understanding of symphonic orchestral music stand alone. Operation Mindcrime was the first operatic metal. Tate sings with such passion and emotion. Nothing Pink Floyd, Rush or Dream Theater did can compare to Rage For Order or Operation Mindcrime! Queensryche crushed everyone!
@supmayne1 you should take the audio book out from the library its a great way to enjoy the book. I have not seen the movie but I bet the book is better, it is a sad and frightening story. I suppose it could be a story of how to domesticate or kill the human spirit. good book, Awesome RYCHE
This song has always reminded me of movies like Terminator, I Robot, Eagle Eye, and the Matrix. Heck, in modern day computers AI "ghosts" exist due to fragmentation of code that recompiles itself randomly at first then over time becomes more organized into consciousness. It's happened with calculators for crying out loud! The more complex the programing and coding the more likely for a "Ghost in the Machine" to take shape.
Very prophetic for the time! "Social control requires population termination." Poisoned water supplies, chemtrails poisoning the air we breathe, vaccinations, H1N1, etc. It's coming true for all of us!
@TSOrocker1 Quit drinking the cool-aid man. The point of Queensryche is to think for yourself and not to get caught up in ridiculous conspiracy theories and small minded logic. It's fear ultimately that will be used to control you, as is always done in the past, and it sounds like you have a lot of it.
one world gov? population termination? did geoff tate see this liberal madness ahread of its time! obamaS science czar John holdren wants to put sterilants in drinking water for population control, Obama and his radical freinds re all socilaist one world gov freaks! george soros is too and he keeps funding the left!
@TheHabit00 Wow, sounds like someone has been spending too much time up on Ruby Ridge hiding from reality. Sterilants in the water supply? One world government freaks? You think W Bush was any better? Come up for air and educate yourself a bit before sending your rants out into cyberspace. You won't look so foolish.
According to the band, The tracklist is wrong. This tracklist, that appears in all The Warning albums, is the result of a request made by mix engineer Val Garay to EMI. The tracklist that the band wanted is: 1. NM 156 2. En Force 3. Deliverance 4. No Sanctuary 5. Take Hold of the Flame 6. Before the Storm 7. Child of Fire 8. Warning 9. Roads to Madness
This song used to twist my mind on how different it was. Gawd it was so damn unique and brilliant. I love the part after the verses and they just start kickin ass. the drumming in queensryche always got me going. Genius
This was when I still liked this band. I didn't care for their top twenty Silent Lucidity crap, but I guess they figured it was a good way to sell records and concert tickets. Thanks for uploading.
My hands watch as I siren the outside crowd,what comes to mind is the Movie war games,please lets not make it a reality.
