Scott Rockenfield's father was good friends with my best friend's grandpa and thus they got the very first Queensryche record ever owned. Unfortunatly one his Uncles took it one day and it was never seen again.
I remember seeing this video a long time ago on MTV early days , NO SCHAFFER WAS NEVER IN QUEENSRYCHE! IT is still the original line up minus De GARMO ! 2009
I love QR.. this is like.. WAY EARLY.. Let's just say their vids got ALOT better.. Underline ALOT like a thousand times.. and then underline it again... 9and FYI - No Schaffer - that's totally DeGarmo.. I miss that guy in QR
Still.... Nothing like the mighty... SAVATAGE... Since 1980... With one... the greatest guitarist... CRISS OLIVA.... 1963-1993... Now known as... TRANS SIBERIAN ORCHESTRA... Or ICED EARTH... ICED..'fucking'EARTH... SOOO many Killer... Concept albums... Since 1990.... Jon Schaffer is a GOD!
Geoff's performance leaves one quite speechless...the bulging eyes, the lip curls, the scary gestures and lizard-like moves-this is what our parents warned us about and kept senior citizens awake at night!
I love both.. but these days.. Geoff doesnt havit ne more much like axle rose from Guns & Roses.. but Bruce still does.. not as crisp, but still in ball park..

I'm just glad they got rid of this look. I saw them on this tour and they were all dressed in black leather. I don't think they toured looking like this video.
Bruce and Geoff Sound NOthing alike only thing similiar is they Both are Great if not The Greatest Metal singers ever yes Queensryche was Americas Strong atempt to match Maiden.
queensryche is badass, geoff tate is prolly one of the best rock singers of all time especially when he was young and could hit every high note in the book, if rob halford tried doing geoffs tune his fucking head would explode and ears wuld bleed...ha ha ha ha ha, beware of THE NIGHT!
y que putas tiene que ver el genero que es puta madre pinches werkos pendejos. Es rock/metal y se acabo vayanse a los putos videos de paulina rubio a joder mejor pinches macuarros no nada mas por que lo etiqueten de uno diferente que no te guste dejaras de oirlos, no sean idiotas!
estupido queensryche son metal "hard rock progresivo" deja de leer la rolling stone, queensryche estan mas cerca de dream theater que de RUSH... y si tiene mucho que ver, porke los primeros dos discos de queensryche son heavy metal, sin mucho de progresivo exepto el trabajo con el delay en las voces.
How did they sell out, my friend? Operation Mindcrime is way more thoughtful and critical of society, government and the general state of mankind than their ep. Operation Mindcrime was in no way a sell out album.
es posible, de todas maners es cuestion de gustos, y esta es una re banda, no hay nada que decir, de adolescente la escuchaba y me reventaba l cabeza. saludos
This is a fuckin' classic. I still have this on the vinyl EP. Used to hear it alot on KISW back in the day. Always been good radio for backing local talent.
KISW sucks!! What in the hell is wrong with that "ricker" fuck?
You are right, though. KISW has been an important part of many a local bands success. And they still play SOME good music. Just too much of that "nu metal" shit!
You can't compare QUEENSRYCHE to Iron Maiden, QR is not so renowed and famous as IM, but their music is far better, each album is too diferent and the sound always goes better.. IM is playing always the same!
I deff 2nd that. I love Iron Maiden but I just like Queensryche cuz its always something new. I even liked Empire although a lot of there older fans didn't like it as much. After Empire I just couldn't get into them though, which was very depressing for me.
This is the Queensryche I listened to back in the day, the good stuff before they had to go commercial and get radio time, If you ever wondered what they would have sounded like if they'd been allowed to keep their musical integrity, check out " Nevermore-This Godless Endeavor"
Watch your mouth boy, and while you're at it, go buy your lame ass a sense of humor. I've been a major Queensryche fan probably longer than it's been since you stopped sucking a bottle, and again I ask WTF ? was Freddy Mercury in Queensryche :P
watch your mouth boy, I've been a Queensryche fan longer than it's been since you stopped sucking on a bottle, Go buy your lame ass a sense of humor...again...Freddy Mercury was in Queensryche ?
Ahhh...their very first album. Love this shit! Grew up with this band in Redomond, WA. My friends and I were jamming to the Ryche long before anyone had even heard of them. They were heavier back then and gotta love the "snappiness" of Scott's snare drum. Long live QR!
Think I caught these guys on a support slot with Dio in Aberdeen capitol theatre. those were the days. Ironically RJD is the voice of dr X on mindcrime II.
