  • Hot damn! The drumming on this whole album is smokin'!

  • Tate is the Whitney Houston of metal.They have the most POWERFUL voices in the world..RYCHE ON!

  • Rage for order,the bible of progressive metal.Geoff Tate ,Chris deGarmo and Scott Rockenfield the holy trinity.

  • @OverdrivePacing LMAO! Yeah dude! Queensryche are the masters of progressive / technical metal. Tate's vocals, DeGarmo's guitar work / songwriting, and Rockenfield's drum work stand alone!

  • All Religion!

  • Hold the light...Keep the flame

  • This is a WORK OF ART...LISTEN!!!!!

  • To call this song a "masterpiece" would be an understatement! I first heard this album at the age of 18 and this song is still as hauntingly beautiful now as then. The whole album is just a massive underrated MASTERWORK and years ahead of its time when released. 

  • I have heard from Eddie Trunks Sirius show that there has been talk between DeGarmo and Tate...There is no bad blood between him and the other members.He wanted to be a pilot and does it...There is a good chance of him getting back some day \m/

  • I thought 'American Soldier' was a solid effort...and yes, I thought it admirable for them to write an album of songs that chronicle the various emotions, feelings, thoughts and concerns of the men and women of our military...but admittedly, since DeGarmo's departure; there was a largely downward spiral in the bulk of what QR released...I admire their tenacity to explore various musical tapestries...sure...but, it doesn't ALWAYS work...that's the difference.

  • Late 80's, went to see my first big concert, some band named Queensryche opening up for Ozzy. They opened up with this song, been a huge fan ever since.

  • U said it all guys. 25 years later and i still go back at this record for times and times again! Way beyond their era, Queensryche wrote simply history. Cant forget the acclaimed opinions from Greek Metal Hammer in every progressive metal tribute they did from 1994 up to 2004 when i stopped reading it..

  • If only the world could wake up from being mind controlled,exactly why us Queensryche fans from this era exist within our own level of existence!! Queensryche for life!

  • Is it weird that when I listen to the songs on Rage for Order, I end up pairing it with a sort of super-dramatic, live theatre performance...like a tragic ballet or something? x]

  • @unknowndeoxys00 They all went to julliard and instilled some of the orchestra effect into their music, it's what makes them the best :)

  • GOing to see them tonight. Hope they play this.

  • @NeueRegalSOS

    And I would argue that none of them compare in symphonic composition, songwriting, or vocals. The Ryche wrote the most mind expanding thought provoking music ever.

  • @NeueRegalSOS I know, Geoff Tate's voice was just amazing back in the day. I was saying that I don't know how anyone could say Geoff isn't good. You know what I mean now?

  • And my mate says Geoff Tate isn't a good singer. I have no idea what he's mistaken for Queensryche! Because Geoff Tate has one of the best voices on the planet!

  • this and promised land are my favs from this band

  • i must agree with everybody on this one that this is the best work they did. rivalling their earlier work but still peaking in both artistic merit and musicianship. lyrics, concept, beauty art. even to this day i reach back to this one and am never ever disappointed.

  • KILLERLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLL­LLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLL?!!!!!!­!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    

  • There is no question that this is their best work. As stated earlier, they were so far ahead of their time. I don't think Heavy Metal was ready for the idea of a "concept album." This band never got their full just due. The writing, muscial composition, and of course the incredible lyrics of Geoff Tate was so vastly superior to the "hair nation" bands that ruled the airways. Poison, Motely Crue, and the like can't carry this band's jock strap.

  • @MrInsanity67 As I've stated before Pink Floyd, Rush, and Dream Theater are not in their league.

  • @RycheRageForOrder you know your shit !!

  • @karpet11

    Thank you! 

  • Their best song. Their best record. I was fourteen when this went out. It literally blew my head. I remember a magazine here in Italy that classified Rage as the record of the year 6 month before the end of 1986....the end of that review quotes '.... still 6 months before the end of the year.... but I simply can't imagine anything better'. The reviewer, the mighty Mr.Riva, was right. And he even could refer to the decade, IMHO.

  • Jesus christ, i have never heard such a high note like this one on: 4:10.

  • Edit cant believe queensryche and iced earth arent huge metal bands, so much talent wasted

  • I cant believe queensryche and iced earth a huge metal bands, so much talent wasted

  • Best song from the best album EVER recorded in the history of mankind!

    Their "newer" material (since promised land) just make me sad. What a waste of talent.

  • @syltryggen1 I agree...#1 They waited TOO long to put out Promised Land and then it was a letdown....#2 Losing DeGarmo put a serious hurt on the songwriting....BUT.... Rage thru Empire were spectacular examples of what Metal/Hard Rock should have been in the 80's

  • @TheShack2112 Yeah, without Chris they never recovered. I still go to the shows when I can just to hear the classic songs (Neue Regel, Screaming in digital, The Killing words etc.). Don't know what the band would have been with Chris today though, the songs he wrote for "the frontier" album was....maybe not my favourites. The sad thing with Queensryche today is that the members of the band are so talented but the lack of a songwriter is so obvious,

  • @syltryggen1 Mindcrime was brilliant though (and I don't mean Mindcrime II, that sucked balls), but their 1st three was amazing

  • @NM156QR83 Mindcrime II had a few good songs, but Mindcrime, every song was good. Amazing album.

  • @syltryggen1 I know - what the hell happened to them?

  • @MetalMistress888 Well, I don't know. Maybe they got to happy... ;) What I like with "Rage" is the dark feeling that I think the album has. I don´t know how big impact Neil Kernon had on the album. But I would have loved to see him produce another QR-album.

    Guess most (good) bands only manage to release 2-4 really good albums with very few exceptions. In Queensryches case I think the race downhill begun when De Garmo got more into airplanes than metal...

  • @SgtCrom Ive never heard of Ensiferum, but the others I know and love, your just mad because everytime you hear screaming in digital, neue regal, or dream in infrared, you ears explode with an eargasm and you have to spend the next half hour wiping it up, suck my dick, Sailing!

  • 1 person is a german nazi who got the shit beat out of him by the us

  • @SgtCrom Actualy, your a fuckstick, the best albums ever are 1. Mindcrime 2. 7th son of a 7th son 3.rage for order. The best bands are 1.Queensryche 2.Iron Maiden 3.Pink Floyd or Rush 4. Mettalica

  • Every year be sure to the "Stations of the Ryche." EP, Warning, Rage, Mindcrime, Empire, etc, etc. Now kneel...and listen.

  • @SgtCrom no way, "The Warning" was great but I wouldnt go as far to claim its their best. But we all have our opinions right? Great taste in music though

  • Yep, a perfect example of Queensryche being experimental and it actually working. Not like that "Dedicated to Chaos" shit that they forced into our skulls.

  • Sorry Fucksticks !! Wrong !! The best QueensRyche is Rage.. by far !!

  • @shtokich yep i agree

  • Awesome album. Best Queensryche release IMO.

  • one of the best albums ever 

  • to see it live back then was like hearing the recorded version only loader! man i miss these guys

  • Great song... Nothing compares... The note Geoff holds on "Anymore" is just so intense!

  • anthem

  • @billalphonso79

    The Anthem on this CD is Chemical Youth for sure!

  • Best song Queensryche ever did in my opinion!

  • Together with Screaming.., this is my favorite song from the super Rage-album. It means New Rules in german. Sheer Magic aaaaall over the place...YEAH! Shine on you crazy Queensryche

  • I can tell Queensryche has a big influence on Nevermore

  • One of my all time favorite songs. Brings back memories from 25 years ago.

  • Definitely one of the Queensryche classics! They were so ahead of their time.

  • The guitar work kicks serious ass! 

  • AT: 0:12 It sounds like a dvd movie opening THX :p

  • I love when Geoff comes in at the part "ringing for you, for me." and "your hands joining with me". Very wicked.

  • Oh' Yeah! people have no idea how technical, intelligent, and thought-provoking the Ryche is!

  • @RycheRageForOrder Ha, you're posting this comment on every Ryche page? Damn right you are, the Ryche belongs up there with the best. Maybe one day ... the Rock'n'Roll Hall of Fame ... they'd deserve it ... shame achievement is measured in how many albums were sold.

  • Comment removed

  • @irelandexplorer Thanks for the kind words. It is a damn shame.

  • Oh' Yeah! people have no idea how technical, intelligent, and thought-provoking the Ryche is!

  • This song is so rad!

  • seems to me some heavy masonic over/under tones. great music. let's pray we never find out what it means lol. let's just be puppets without brains. fun for a while but it gets old fast when you wake up screaming in digital :)

  • Awesome song!

  • Lets see someone on American Idol do this!

  • @RycheRageForOrder Never!!!

  • Best band on the friggin planet....EVER!!!!!!!!!

  • we can't let this world remain the same.

  • Pink Floyd, Rush, and Dream Theater have nothing on the Ryche. Their songwriting and musicianship kick serious ass!

  • @RycheRageForOrder scratch pink floyd and i agree

  • Comment removed

  • 1 dislike?? Must be a LadyGaGa fan!!!!!

  • This is my fav song by Queensryche!!

  • NEW WORLD ORDER-what comes after that-We shall find out...

  • this is what I call intelligent music

  • loved it as a child, love this album even more as an adult

  • @bridenbaugh1 I wish like hell I was exposed to music like this as a child!!!!!

  • Tate's voice rips through the instruments - great vocals

  • Been listening to Queensrche Long??????....Queensryche I think is how it is spelled....could be wrong.....but....

  • Anybody know what the title means?

  • @1983Valhalla It mean New Rule in german

  • @metalmeltdown12

    or 'new order' according to the tile of the album

  • @metalmeltdown12

    Interesting what's with the Germanic stuff ... queensRYCHE, New RULE

  • @metalmeltdown12

    This is correct, I was surprised by the title when I heard and read it!

    Greets from germany ;)

    EF

  • @metalmeltdown12 Thanks for downloading this song!.

  • @metalmeltdown12 : it's more "New order"...

  • @1983Valhalla Yes: New rule.

  • @1983Valhalla  NEW RULE

  • @1983Valhalla: yes it means New Rule

  • @1983Valhalla Its time to awaken

  • @1983Valhalla Its time to awaken , time to open our eyes to what is real and what is false

  • Rage for Order.....Operation Mindcrime. Thats all I need from this band, it ain't get better.

  • @IsanmaanMies Better than Mindcrime in my opinion...

  • i still do.....

  • kickass song.

  • New rule :P

  • i was 5 not now im 12

  • These guys are incredible writers. Just about all of their music during that time could be used for movie scripts. This album would make a great vampire screenplay much like what influenced it and much better than that Twilight cheesy movie stuff.

  • Love it!!!!!!!

  • ive been trying to tell my oldest son that this song(and rage fo order)is the masterpiece of metal.he just wont get it.are the 90s stupieds that 70s?i loved this song 1986 and i still do.

  • I was into Queensryche when they they came on HBO! In 84!!!! Luv them still!!!.

  • Now THIS was metal.... today's crap has nothing on the greatness of the mighty nineteen-eighties!! Cannot tell you how often I wish that real metal would return! Awesome song - thanks for posting!

  • Hey Chris, the airline called today.... They said quit your job, you have 15 million fans waiting....

  • Can someone tell Chris Degarmo to come back to Queensryche? What airline is he working for?

  • oh yeah jack, that's the ticket.

  • There is footage of Geoff Tate singing in the studio for this album and its like "Wow that is intense. Incredible how he pulls these notes." Top of his game here.

  • Geoff has the most amazing voice ever....glad we were around to enjoy his talent...the entire Rage album is awesome..

  • This song reminds me of a post-apocalyptic Clint Eastwood western theme song. If that makes any sense. God I wish Chris DeGarmo would come back.

  • I agree! This song was way ahead of the times...... Queensryche was doing things that no other bands even came close to at that time. THis whole record is epic and groundbreaking. In my opinion, this is the best Queensryche album ever recorded.

  • @kingofhell1972 Sorry, definetly second, but the best album of ALL TIME is, you guessed it, Operation:Mindcrime... not 2!

  • @kingofhell1972 Great stuff here. But MindCrime it is not.

  • @kingofhell1972

    thank you... not that they are bad albums, but its too bad Mindcrime and Empire have overshadowed this album,,, people really dont know it..

  • @kingofhell1972 You're right. This whole record IS epic and groundbreaking. It is also WITHOUT A DOUBT the best thing that they have ever waxed !!!!! Not a weak track on it. Soundtrack to a revolution. Call it whatever you want. It will change your life if you let it. The first four records (including the ep) are indispensible in any metalheads collection.

  • Best album ever period just my opinion will never another one like this. Vocals, lyrics clever clever stuff this. Where the hell has the time gone I had hair like them clothes lol. Bald as an egg now two great kids bloody hell!!!!!

  • @davenight I agree with you 100%. This was their most creative time period. 

  • i thought this album was really great!

  • @MAGNUM2F Still is really great!!, not was!!!

  • Comment removed

  • Best album of their career (in my opinion). Now they just suck. And suck really bad. It's a shame.

  • @emptyaie they were really phenomenal in this album, weren't they? I don't really know about anything recent, but if common experience tells me anything its that if two independent sources say that the new stuff sux --well then it probably does.

  • @emptyaie I agree with you sort of. I think this is "1B" and Mindcrime is "1A". Mindcrime just "sounds" a little better from a sonic perspective.....imho off course. Empire also sounds beautiful.

  • why is the title german??

  • @Born2Rock1987 , That is the name of the song, which means New Order. Actually, Geoff Tate was born in Germany when his dad was stationed there on military duty. RYCHE ON!

  • @lowriderbandfan I know what it means cuz I'm from Germany, too...weird title but cool song anyway :)

  • Queensrÿche will put hairs on your chest. True Story.

  • the closest thing i have heard lately is a group called 'Bullet for my Valentine' but the vocals can't even compare to Geoff Tate's sheer range and power

    };-{)>

  • @tcdarden13 Unfortunately, he can't sing like that anymore.......just search the more recent posts of Queensryche on Youtube......sad

  • There is such a mood to this song. So deep emotionally. just brilliant!

  • neue regel = NWO?

  • @GovWillKillU, Exactly! And it's here.

  • This is one of my ALL time favorites from them!! This is when Tate had his full voice. He had this intense vocal attack that he can't do anymore. It's not just hitting high notes, it's the way he did it.

    An example is right in this song.

    "Poet's line in a rhyme of silence, gathered from the winter air

    Warms the children's (attack) eyes they see"

    It's the way he hits that part. i have always called it "letting it out" .

  • Neue Regel is Deutsch for New Ruling

    The type that some videos have called it - Neue Regal - would mean New Shelving lol.

  • @cobhc987654321

    I looked it it means new order

  • funny how something can kick you in the balls twenty years later just as hard as it did the first time you heard it thanks for post

  • i used to listen to this in the bath

  • @march2fuzz thats so weird man i always used to shower to this lol.for some reason

  • One of the more complex songs I have tried to learn. But I really play it badly. I love it.

  • neue regel for all the fucking financel evil virus and those,who are prospering with the death and the growing poverty.The desaster in greece might be the beginn of

    the poisen show how new capitalizm works.

    Queensryche on their best time....

  • My favorite album by them, and my favorite song on this album. Try being a seventeen-year-old girl in a one-horse town and liking this kind of music back in 1987. Definitely ahead of its time.

  • Non metal, just a unique rock band like Kansas and Triumph of the times, will put you in a better place in mind! couldnt ask for any better!

    from an old fart.

  • Good lord can that dude sing! There are very few singers today that can sing like he does. Not to mention very few bands that use two guitars like they do. Most bands today have one guy play lead and the other play rhythm. These guys harmonize and play parts that interweave with each other.

  • Some songs are borderline too incredible.

    Rockin this now hard just like early 90's.

  • the segue from solo to final chorus at appx. 3:28 is incredible and one of my favorite bits of music ever.

  • Queensrÿche is really amazing!

  • What a great band ! So ahead of it's time back then. They have provided a huge influence with their "futuristic metal". And Dream Theater can say "Thank you" to them.

  • it needs rage for order in order to establish a neue regel!!

  • know what this chaotic world needs? a little Rage for Order!

  • i've always thought this is the best performance by any metal singer ever!

  • you can't imagine how much i agree!

  • great band and great song. thanx @ queensryche...

  • listening to this song,i always wonder how many years ahead of it's time it is,even today!

  • countless years!!! man I loved QR but after the promised land album i gave up...that was the last good album but this was so futuristic I so agree with you

  • @TheKillingword consensus

  • tape!

  • very nice on the tape. i still have mine and i also have all the old Vinnie Moore, Metallica, Dokken, and Skid Row tapes too. i know i have more than that, but i'm just pulling a blank now. :P

  • Why can't they write great music like this anymore?...

  • @kudza008 umm..degarmo is gone

  • @kudza008 No Degarmo...

  • @kudza008

    Simple...because NOW it's all about the money and who you can screw for video on your cell phone. Oh yea, and reality TV.

    Then politics meant something to the mind willing to understand it and embrace why it should be important for EVERYONE to just "get it"

  • @kudza008 they got old. and chris degarmo is gone.
