  • I love main melody of this song, i just can't forget it!

  • Empire was like Queensryche's Black album. The band went downhill from there.

  • Seriously awesome! This was the first rock band I ever got into properly and what threw me into rock from stealing my dads vinyls and CDs when I was like 8 apparently. EMPIRE album fucking ROCKS!!!!

  • Love this song! Thank you uploading...:-)

  • 10 of 782 people have a very bad taste in music ...

    I LOVE QUEENSRYCHE !!!!

    EMPIRE - GREAT ALBUM <3

    QUEENSRYCHE RULEZ !

  • To me Queensryche's music especially with the album "Empire" is by far my all time favorite Queensryche record,and songs like "Another Rainy Night" proves it.

  • more like geoff taint

  • dont slam the door ..bitch whoever poo pooed this song sucks DEGARMO IS GENIUS!!!!!!!!!!!

  • dont slam the door ..bitch whoever poo pooed this song sucks

  • dont slam the door ..bitch

  • just a beautiful song, thanx

  • I just freaking love this song....got so much "heat" to it

  • And I'm still waiting for the ring of the phone......

  • Here you go, Doc.

  • I sure miss the 80's - when music was actually worth listening to.

  • will always be one of my favorite rock ballads of all time

  • then saw them 7 more times, but they never headlined

  • Yes they rock! Ive seen them back when they toured w/ Quiet Riot . That was my 1st concert. Geoff Tate, Chris DeGarmo, Scott Rockenfield, damn lets kick some ass!!

  • queensryche is one of the greatest bands in the history of early 90's rock bands

  • there's 2 videos for this song. On the documentary dvd for building empires...they show the video the record company made featuring a pretty girl in her room...she looks nice...weird video tho...nuttin to do w the song...then the band went behind the record company's back and shot this instead.

  • I'm convinced... Goeff Tate has the best voice of all male singers across all genres of music. I listen to classic rock, rock, metal, country and although my favorite musical group is Rush.... I will give this guy my vote.

  • @russty36 agreed 100%.... is he even human?

  • i love it :)

  • EMPIRE WAS AMAZING!!

  • Haha. . . reminds me of home! (Seattle). I love this song!

    Speaking of Seattle, did you guys hear QR's new side-project?

    Parker Lundgren, guitar player, put out some killer music. . .

    Don't Wake me up is amazing on iTunes. . . just bought it. Under his name

    for some reason.

  • I have tickets for the Ryche next Thursday @ Colorado state fair...so looking forward....they are going to knock the crowd out!!!!

  • Why oh Why cant you fucktards learn how to turn your gain control down as to NOT HAVE YOUR VIDS SO FUCKING LOUD?! You owe me a set of speakers you asshole.

  • @ravenlorans lol...listening to Qryche and bitchin becouse it blew your speekers....EXCELLENT!

  • Geoff Tate and his voice just make me crazy.. All I ask is for just 5 min with him!

  • I had the video for thsi song since ever, there where in cassete yet.. amazing still make me shiver ..I ADORE GEOFF TATE !!!!!!!!!!!!

  • Now thats a ballad

  • QUEENSRYCHE AWESOME BAND !

  • Damn that's talent. No skool like old skool!

    What vocals! They were real musicians.

  • @fortknoxguy, Were? They still kick ass. RYCHE ON!

  • Damn, Geoff is sexy as hell. This man is now 51 years old & is STILL hot!

  • tremendous song. this album and mindcrime were simply 2 of the best back to back albums in the history of rock. ( I.M.O )

  • if geoff tate cut his voice in half it would still be more than enuf to smoke most others.

  • @jr55ful AHMEN TO THAT!

  • Lead singer is yummy!!

  • @kwgrid Hey:(

  • Comment removed

  • @4inches4u You have a channel like that and you're gonna call ME down? You've got a lot of nerve. This is a great song, a great clip, and the lead singer is great and goodlookin'. So sue me.

  • i fukin love queensrche!!!

  • One of this bands best songs ever (IMO) is one of their older songs I loved before they gained their popularity...."Take hold of the Flame". 

  • For the King...

  • why doesnt mtv play this kind of music.. its all rap and crap...

  • Because MTV barely plays music anymore. MTV = Miscellaneous Television, or at least it might as well, because all they do is reality shows.

  • @razorslice17

    I totally agree with you!

  • Comment removed

  • @Draconis97 may you die with festering boils and throbbing hemorrhoids for that statement.

  • 2:32 its been a long time since ive seen a phone like that! LOL

  • A KICK ASS SONG

  • bad ass tune of the century

  • I love Queensryche so much, and to me this is their best song. It has amazing music and sweet lyrics.

  • Timeless, nothing more to say.

  • wow only 200,000 views what are people fucking stupid this the best music ever.There only one band better and thats pantera

  • @motojoe911 Thats right:)

  • @motojoe911 Queensryche is good an this song is amazing...but if u think about it great bands like pantera have more than a couple amazing songs,

  • epic song!!!

  • By far one of the best band's..

  • 9 hammerheads voted this "thumbs-down." whats up with that???

    ...........9-times (ed roony)

  • This band is great, 'nuff said!

  • Ever compare Queensryche videos from the 80s against other stupid looking videos from that era? Their style would fit right in with todays vids! They've always rocked!

  • the best music of QR ...

  • I like how these guys wrote their songs, wonder how " raindrops taste like tears without the pain" makes me go back to someone I lost

  • That guy with the long hair playing guitar looks like Ronnie James Dio. RIP Dio

  • MY GOD !!! I wore this album out.

  • This is a different version of the video than I've seen before....VERY cool band live. I saw them on the Operation Mindcrime II tour.

  • These guys were amazing at the orange peel

  • very good bass player

  • queensryche fuckin rules most talented us ever!!!!!

  • Finally! Someone put some frickin' volume to their video. Nice!!

  • @AnnaSofiaR Maybe but they put TOO MUCH! I like loud but fuck, there should be limits. Fucker blew my speakers!

  • @AnnaSofiaR hell yeah 

  • Damn that man can croon

  • It's pure rock opera worked everytime i had a girl in my car..

  • my skin is quiver listen to this song

  • One of My Favorie Albums!!! Loving this band since their first Album!!! 1980's!!!!! Progressive Intelligent Rock!!!! Great Band all around.. if u diasagree you dont know much about music!!!!

  • The guitars remind me a little of Boston's leads. I like this singer's voice. Very good song.

  • i must agree mark but i think they went down the wroung path mind crimes was pink floyd like the rest went comercial if they woulde have folowed there path they woulde be one of the best of all times

  • Powerful.

    "Strange how laughter looks like crying with no sound. Rain drops taste like tears without the pain..."

    Incredible song!

  • i miss my little puppy luv

  • Empire is one of my favorite albums. Every single song is awesome!!!

  • Empire was their last good album. since then i tottaly despise them. nothing like the good old days of Warning and Queen of the Ryche.

  • I agree 100%!

  • Just wish Chris DeGarmo would come back for one last Queensryche reunion tour..........he was so vital to their sound........they arent the same band without him.

  • @Hunkola Absolutely!! I shall say no more!

  • "Empire" was such a good album.......those songs still hold up after 20 years........just makes me sick that grunge came along and killed off great bands like this.

  • @Hunkola... I couldn't agree with you more!!! We need more 'In your face' Rock n' Roll these days!!! Then maybe, just maybe, we wouldn't have so many uptight AHoles in this World!!! Sad to say... But somewhere along the line, they took all the damn fun outta Rock n' Roll...

  • @Hunkola Very True. Grunge was one of the worst things that ever happened to music. Add Rap & Hip Hop to that, too?

    Queensryche was very underrated. This entire album is excellent.

  • @SparklyMusicGoddess --

    "Empire" is a benchmark for how good a rock album can be........timeless melodies, great song structure, lyrics that convey emotion and imagery, excellent musicianship..........this album is 5-star all the way.

    I've personally listened to the entire album at least 1000 times and I still love it.

  • He is So HOT...His Voice is KILLER but He is HOT!!!!

  • Yea, he is ok but thats about it. Damn good music:)

  • Contacted them last year by email......they brought my 85 year old Father on stage to honor him for his service in WW II...one of the greatest times of my life!!!!!

    Paps and I watched them warm up back stage.....

    Father is a great sport!

    The Ryche boys nice guys.....

  • My anthem from January 1996- August 1996! This is an amazing band!!!!

  • Pre grunge.

  • Exactly! You read my mind. I remember watching this video and thinking this was the future of rock. Smells Like Teen Spirit came out right after that.

  • I loved the gringe movement. It was a way of sticking your foot up the corporate asses who took over Seattle. Seattle was a tough blue collar town before the Frasier crowd declared it theirs'.

  • good voice

  • Its so important what you think about this voice considering you dont use yours to move even the slightest bit of furniture....Critic....LOL...y­ou have been spoon fed...xoxox.

  • this is thee best group ever all there song's rock I juss missed there concert feb.13 in wendover,nevada all because of work.

  • Actually from Operation Mind Crime.

  • excuse my language THIS VIDEO ROCKS MY SHIT!!!!!!!!

  • this might be my all time fav band! lyrics in all of their songs are amaxing!

  • Very underrated song.

  • Another classic from Queensryche. And as i stated several times before, the greatest metal band ever. This is an intellectual band that's soely predicated on musical proficiency.

  • @ garytheagnostic Queensryche has sucked since Cris Degarmo left. Without Degarmo, Queensryche lost who they were. They lost their sound.

  • i still think this band was really underrated, they stood out a mile to me.

  • Very underrated. At least for their first few albums. They did kinda suck for the last three.

  • yea the last three did lol

  • YES, 99 % OF people have no clue what a bass fill is, a killer drum fill, what guitar riffs are, what makes a fucking awesome singer etc... what makes a band kick ass from a musician point of view. IT'S not shock why people

    love drum machines, and some underfeed moron screaming pop music

    or rap onto the air waves. Crap music reaches 1# cause it has hooks, sure but

    worthless from a musician point of view!

    YES Queensryche IS hands DOWN the most UNDERATED EVER!

    BAND IN HISTORY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  • @markanddana to me it always seems like this isn't really a band. the leader is a solo act and this is band the label gave him. just how it comes across my ears.

  • @markanddana I saw them twice in my life. I saw them open for Metallica (operation mindcrime tour) then on their own for the Empire tour. I agree with you 200% ..underrated bigtime. My opinion is they BLEW Metallica awaaaay bigtime. Alot of people agreed with me after the show.

  • there were actually 2 clips for this song cant find the other on yt , if i only knew how to cut movies into pieces i have so much qr material that NO ONE has

  • @hillena Are you talking about the one that has (at the begining) a woman with eyes "painted" ion her eyelids? I have seen that one on myspace (used to be part of my page there) but I haven't seen it here on youtube ~

  • it is not on youtube it is on the building empires dvd though

  • Yes and I love that dvd! Wish that I had a dollar for everytime that I have watched it! :-)

  • Great video, I've always love the bass sound on this song.

  • Comment removed

  • Stupenda..

  • The perfect Queensryche song. Perfect song period.

  • totally sucks that embedding is disabled on this video... :/

  • @theonlyjessica78 tate must be getting upset that people are embedding his songs what a douchbag, good song though.

  • It is because the video "uploader" is a fag and is trying to hold things without copyright. He is a bitch and should be beaten to death.

  • See? I just checked his station and he has not even been on in 3 months. There is my point. People steal videos and try to make them as their own, when, in reality, they are not.

  • empires prolly tied with 3rd on my fav queensrych album

    1 and 2 - OP1 and Promised Land (cant decide)

    3 and 4 - OM2 and Empire

  • Excellent song . Also " Empire " , in my opinion, is their best release .

  • Only because you follow trends.

  • how amazing and poetic this is

  • they are amazing!greece..

  • Best live musicians of any concert I've ever seen, and I've seen hundreds.

  • been listening 2 them 4 over 25 years! 2 awsume...GREAT SONG!I SEEN THEM ON ''EMPIRE TOUR'' MY DAUGTERS LUV THEM 2! TAMMY IN KY............SO PRETTY!

  • When I was little my mom always listen to their songs and because she's every day watched them on dvd, I began to listen to them aswell and I'm a fan since then. I think I was .. six/seven years old haha : ) But I still like to listen to their songs and I'm still a fan!

  • ive been a fan since the mid 80's, and still am

  • first time i saw them was with KISS. They are phenomenal. I also saw them with Type O Negative.

  • I've seen them twice and they were flawless both times. Even though their new album is much more different than I expected it to be I still like it, though I do believe their older music is a little more original. Love, love, love Queensryche. :D

  • MegaMunkee, First off, who taught you english. Geeze, go back to school. Queensryche in my opinion is one of the best bands ever. From The Warning to American Solider, this band never got the "kudos" that they deserved. A Great Band that has stood the test of time.

  • great song!!

  • This group are just awesome ,saw them at the Royal Albert Hall years ago and one of the most memorable concerts ever ,way ahead of their time and technically excellent but so xxxxxxing original !

  • one of the most musically talented bands ever

  • Awesome band! I saw them live in Seattle....they so rocked!

  • If you can't spell your words right, Munkee, don't post comments. Queensryche was in my time, they are absolutley AWESOME, I have see them in concert. STFU now. Thank you, have a nice day.

  • Erm, what is this in reply to?

  • Actually, this band are still around! I missed their tour last December :o(

  • That sucks man. The American Soldier tour was excellent, best show I've seen since Iron Maiden on Somewhere Back in Time.

  • This is one of the greatest songs of heavy metal that I ever heard. Great album ¡ So sad that today the sound of this band is just a remains...

  • He is awesome live. Extremely theatrical and all great vocals...

  • dude, his voice is pretty dang sexy! =D

    Guesse I'll leave the light on for you.........

  • Excellent song !!!

  • Love this song. Kinda sums it up lately...

  • STRANGE... isnt it? (;

  • Geoff Tate's voice is one of the best, its what brings me to like every Queensryche song I hear

  • AMAZING!!!!!

  • This song should've been a big hit.

  • luv this song!!!!!!

  • Yep i am 40 years old now and saw them for the first time in my life after 20 years!!!!!! boederij zoetermeer the netherlands at 9th of july and it was one of the best days in my life!!!

    Ryche Rules!!!!!

  • This band never gets old for me, i've heard just about every song they have made and i love them all Geoff Tate has an amazing voice, very few bands i have heard i have liked every song from, 2 of the others are iron maiden and Judas Priest.

  • I saw Queensryche in 1991, easily one of the best concerts I have seen - love them as much today!!!

  • 'ryche rulezzzzz

  • My 2nd fav song by them.

    My parents had this song played at their wedding 15 years ago and i have loved it ever since i first heard it.

  • I would have loved to seen queensryche in concert but never got the chance. Their music thunders with volume and drive.

    Just good music along with all the great70's and 80 artist.

  • They are touring now. I saw them last night and they sound as great. Jeff Tate still is one of the best singers. They just kick ass. Last night they played for 2-1/2 hrs no intermission

  • My first concert was Mindcrime in '88 @ Brendan Byrne Arena in NJ and I couldn't go by myself b/c I was 13 but my mom took me and 3 friends. We were all the way @ the top of the arena b/c some jag-off was in our seats but it didn't matter I will never forget that night as long as I live. I've to 5,000 concerts since and I still remember that night and the feeling that I had looking around and the way the band sounded as they played the entire Mindcrime album,Sept 1988 never 4get

  • My Dad started listening to Queensryche way back in '81........the year I was born. All during my youth, my parents, being the cool parents that they were, always listened to QR. Every new album since The Warning, on the day it came out, we bought. I'm 28 now and know every QR song by heart....... My Dad and I just saw Queensryche live for the 11th time together.....I just wanna say.... Thanks DAD.
