Queensryche - 04 - 'Child of Fire' live in tokyo 1985

[thatkidseth]

LOL, how many singers can you name that sound jsut as good live as they do in studio? i can name 3. Geoff Tate, DIO, and Bruce Dickenson.

[Ameenahshouse]

That part where he says "You poisoned all our hopes we have" gets to me..What a singer

[summer999ppp]

Only today's shitty talent lip sync...not these guys!

[pefindi]

Geoff's live performances back then are hands down the best live singing ever. The fact that people question as to whether it's live or not (it is live), just shows that.

[pdglock19]

@pefindi So true. Its hard to tell the live songs from this concert and The Warning album. The singing is FLAWLESS. Queensryche's best album.

[Skython11]

Anyone who thinks this is lip synching, what the hell. The band didn't know that so many people did it until long long after this. This is obviously not lip synching, Geoff is just a stunning singer!

[ablecain68]

Those were the days! Tate is truly amazing live!

[osborne1971]

I saw them on the Mindcrime tour in Maryland back in the day and he was ON!!! The whole band was - such an amazing show.

[omnadrener]

LOL PedroProg Gorge Tate lol i know its a typo but why is that name so funny!

[omnadrener]

yeah he was so great here that people couldnt tell weather it was live or not!

[hawkhandsaw]

God! Tate's voice was fucking amazing live! Such control, power and just effortless-even better than the studio! Geoff, why did you smoke?! Chris DeGarmo has a pretty damn good voice, too. He provided those great harmony and backgound vocals. Without his voice the songs wouldn't sound as good because none of the other guys can sing as far as I can tell.

[BlackRoseImmortal]

So freaking awesome!

[miller3779]

@wasp3451" king"diamonds a joke

[SDGSDG12]

Compered to my videos the lip-synk here is perfect. I love Queensryche.

[91nickt]

@SDGSDG12 troll

[bassmanjoe]

@wasp3451 Crushes them in what way? Tate was a far better singer then the king, and musicianship about equal in my opinion. I do love the Melissa record alot though!

[jeffreynellie]

He was amazing all ways, but live was unreal. the VHS gives me chills!!! Live was insane.

[boxingin]

Geoff Tate is one of my favorite all time vocalists. He's the real deal out of the studio, where it counts the most....

[wikkedmelodies]

i played this video to DEATH 85-86

[avocate201]

We all know that Geoff had an amazing voice and range, but I'm blown away by how good Chris was on back-up vocals. He was great at harmonizing with Geoff.

[fowcircle]

one of the greates singers of all time

[pedroProg]

the part between 2:15 and 3:30 is breathtaking! gorge tate's performance is flawless

amazing singing and what a soul...

[pedroProg]

Geof Tate, sorry

english as a second language, no pudin for me...

[MAGNUM2F]

@pedroProg sorry, i just posted nearly the same thing (as you did 5 months ago... ) it is simply fantastic though isnt it?

[1Siddhartha9]

Queensryche = the band of my childhood. Thanks for the memories, guys. I always loved you. Child of fire, is special, damned. Geof, Chris, Scott and the others, you were gods. What happened to Chris DeGarmo. Someone knows?? Best wishes from germany.

[xcentricity69]

I couldn't agree more - Queensryche is timeless; the cream of the crop and shall never be forgotten! As for DeGarmo, from what I've heard, he is now a commercial airline pilot. Flying is something he loved as much as music. Check out Kamelot! ;)

[hammerfistface]

@1Siddhartha9 Chris is an airline pilot now . . . yup . . . a pilot !

[U3X6785]

Keep screaming in digital my friend....

[Chachaboy1994]

haha wow he said he toured with queensryche.dumbass

[1Siddhartha9]

***Remember: Operation Mindcrime, which came later, ..., still one of the bests concept albums, ..., ever. Thanks for the great hours of listening in the past.

[1Siddhartha9]

I never questioned the recording being live, cause I grew up with these guys and I knew how good they were. What about Chris, I lost them after they split. But this is definitly epic; I owe that vid also. Great Breakdown, Geoff was definitly best of them all.

[Flaggius]

He IS the best singer ever on this earth! No fuckin doubt! He owns Halford, Dickinson and all other metal singers so damn easily that it's almost funny...

[electriceye53]

that was back then....im sorry i mean i love tate, but now he doesnt sound good at all. Halford and Dickinson are still on it

[fafafooey187]

Halford makes Tate look like Fred Durst. Anyone that thinks the'yre in the same league is a uneducated cunt. Rob sings with his heart and his balls, not with his vocal chords like this heartless Tate trick does. Dickinson is a faggot, so forget his worthless ass.

[gasguiltyasin]

Tate gave it all that he's got. If you ever saw them live, Tate sings to the point that his eyes pop out. That fucking Heart. There will never be anyone better then Tate. If you or anyone thinks otherwise then that person is an uneducated cunt. Ryche n Roll Forever!

[fafafooey187]

Tate gave it all that he's got, but it wasn't enough to match Rob. Sorry, but nobody is better than Halford and the only way Tate could hit high notes as well as him is if Rob fucked him in the ass. But Halford only gives that honor to people that he respects. During the Priest/Queensryche tour, part of Rob's contract to Queensryche was that Geoff Tate mops up the stage and collects their trash after every show. Tate is talented and impressive, but he's inferior and also a homo.

[gasguiltyasin]

Open your fucking eyes man Look at the passion Geoff has. All Tate can do is scream. Tate has it all. PERFECTION.

[einarabelc5]

Obviously Rob must Respect you Very much. Since you hold him in such high esteem. Good luck sitting then.

[gasguiltyasin]

Halford is great but he hasn't nothing on Tate. Halford admitted that Tate is the best and you're about him singing with his balls because he doesn't have any in heart, he's a cock smoker but great singer. No hard feeling's. Ryche N Roll Forever and get you're facts straight.

[fafafooey187]

You guys are a bunch of homos. Halford is the man, Geoff is a bitch who could hit a couple high notes pretty well. That's all that needs to be said, so fuck off.

[gasguiltyasin]

You don't know what your talking about. I got that impression  after looking at your profile rookie.

[fafafooey187]

I used to tour with Queensryche.. go fuck yourself.

[gasguiltyasin]

What you and TUPAC!

[ObltKG4]

I think fafafooley is absolutely fafafoolish. You can't judge a singer, even if it rang in your ears. Geoff Tate is Miles above Halford. That is why he IS one of the few males on the planet who can sing the entire octave range. You simply don't know what you are talking about by letting your opinon in the way of what should be a mind.

[einarabelc5]

Singao...You're right...Halford is a homosexual.

[hillena]

and you are a creep

[einarabelc5]

Wow, this is what I call Taking hold of the Flame. According to you being a homosexual is a bad thing and I deserve to be insulted. Way to go!!1 Congratulations!!!

[hillena]

NO you are falsly accusing some one that makes you a creep!!!! nothing wrong with gay's I live in the netherlands for chr*st sake!! we marry those guys but you are a creep for ranting halford

[einarabelc5]

Here's a favor: Is your life really that Pathetic and Empty that you just judge, point at spit insults to whoever you think is wrong? Even after so much time, you don't even wonder if I've changed my mind? Correct me if I'm wrong but you seem to be the kind of person who likes to judge other based on very little information. What's more on a video posted on the Internet. Some might call you a troll. Well I would say you're the material on which totalitarian regimes are built upon.

[einarabelc5]

If I remember correctly the scientific and correct name is homosexual. Also, I think the word you're looking for is homophobic, not creep. That's very general. Please if you're going to insult me gratuitously at least do it correctly so I can be rightly amused.

Thank You.

[hillena]

and I would appreciate it that you stop stalking me....for I am not a HOMOSEXUAL so I do not need to be favored by you...ok?

[gasguiltyasin]

Damn Right! Ryche N Roll forever!

[surgpath24]

Its live , Tate doesnt lip sync!!! Your suppose to sound just like the studio, its just that most singers cant pull there studio stuff off live!!!

This dude in his prime was better Live!!

[j800r]

@surgpath24 shame his prime only lasted one decade :( he's still phenomenal, but back then he wasn't even human!

[EwerLord]

Two best singers of all time: Freddie Mercury and Geoff Tate.

[MAGNUM2F]

@EwerLord agreed but dont forget Steve Perry!

[maroth86]

he should have been on broadway..

[davenight]

its deffo live listen to the drum fills they differ from the album the vocals are incredible

[arturo150776]

exelente banda de los 80 buen heavy metal

[omnadrener]

Yep its live and it ridicolously awesome.

[AdognamedOp]

No doubt... that breakdown is epic for those with ears to hear.

[BiteGently]

you don't see many try and succeed as well as they did anymore.. Well put together band

[Vitalogy7]

it is live by the way.

[AdognamedOp]

Awesome song. But is it really live? Sounds exactly like the recorded version.

[TrejosEd]

[surgpath24]

[roblunte]

Some of the most amazing rock vocals EVER captured.

[gasguiltyasin]
