The solo, then the verse coming right out of the solo....that's one of the coolest musical moments ever. No other band could sound anything like that.
It was November 4th I last held your hand It seemed our time would last forever You said don't ever leave I thought you'd never go I wish I could just remember your name... You're just a memory now Like all the ones before But with your pain I've had to suffer Your eyes alight with flame As the picture burns I hear the screams from long ago They cry remember, blood-red streaks on velvet throats at night The streetlights fanned our trail of fame through
@marketerscry Jack the Ripper had ended up being about killing people because he had a severe bad problem where that severe bad problem had been that Jack the Ripper did not accept the good love that he had needed before the time that he had become a psychotic killer.And Queensryche are not psychotic killers because Queensryche knows that it's such deep and wrongfull hate that had turned psychotic killers to become psychotic killers to begin with and to end with.
this song is so epic,dramatic,it's like an opera with all these voices combined!like music from a film!one of the best songs ever!and what a solo section...
I saw them headline in San Diego in 1985 - and saw them 3x on the Empires Tour (where they played Mindcrime in its entirety) in St. Louis Mo - Peoria IL and Springfield IL. I like the newer stuff without DeGarmo - but it just doesn't have the same feel IMO; that being said they are still amazing.
Rage 4 Order is one of my all time favorite albums *ever*, and def my fav by QR for many reasons - this song being just one of them. I still sit in awe as I listen to their prowess.
@MrTgilbert66 you obviously would know the queensryche albums well,could you please tell me what 5 albums are worth having first.and which ones to avoid.
@G0UDMAN - Queensryche's albums were all excellent up through Empire, after that they lost me somewhat. Operation Mindcrime is great, musically and lyrically, every song ties into one another as the album tells a complete story, I just wish they would have made a movie of it.
@G0UDMAN IMO it depends on what 'type' of metal you are searching for. I like that QR keeps evolving, and it's pretty easy to see if you listen to their albums in order. I say the best 5, would be their first 5 releases; this would include their mini-EP, "Queensryche " from '83. Next 4 are 'The Warning' - 'Rage for Order' - 'Operation MIndcrime' - and 'Empire'. I am a huge fan and really don't think there are any to avoid, although I haven't gotten into the last 3 very much. \m/ rock on bro!
what the hell?! goth metal!?? not a fucking chance!! and they've been trying to get rid of that stigma "thinking man's metal" for their entire career. acknowledge their music for the genius it was and realize they created a standard in metal that very few bands have ever matched.
I guess they could of kind be seen as goth, they had some dark concepts. They were progressive, thinking man's metal really. With some serious talent.
This is an excellent album. They continued to put out great music for the next 2 albums as well (& how prophetic the Mindcrime album is today !). Mid 90's put a hurting on this style of music ,unfortunately. Since this album, they were one of the earlier bands to really embrace a "digital sound". The 80's was a really great time for great hard rock/metal music.....hell, it was a great time any way you look at it!!
@12ouncebrew : what was that the 1993 album? 1994? You're joking right? I wasn't sure what to think about that album.....still don't........definitely doesn't come close to the previous albums, IMO, but that's just me.....
garsh. I love this so much. i feel so damn LUCKY to have grown up with it, gawd could you imagine growing up with todays music? I would feel alot less emotion about life in general I think.
Man the memories. such genius this band. They were under the popular radar for a while, being a queensryche fan back in the day was really unique, it made you feel really underground and even a bit dark, but simply genius.
this band rules! i will keep play they songs with my two 12 thumb big JBN hifi speakers that coperate with my JBN cr-6075 sterio reciever :D wrote that just to brag but this is really a great band!
i love rage for order.. my favorite queensryche album and all-time music album.
although this song maybe my 3rd favorite on rage for order. 1. Walk in the shadows 2. i dream in infrared 3. london 4. neue regel 5. screaming in digital 5. the killing words 6. i will remember . and so on...
This was the song that first got me hooked on this album. Its one of their absolute best. I saw them on nov 1st in joliet, IL & they didn't play it. I was very disapointed. They were awsome as always though!!!
no; they weren't, though I can see why you might think so, if this is your first experience with them. This was a unique album for them. Completely different from everything they ever did. They actually joked about their "look" on an interview I saw of them. Do yourself a favor and listen to some of their other stuff bro.
@metalmeltdown12 They were Progressive Metal (Prog Metal). They were influenced by Anne Rice's Vampire Chronicle's. I always think of this album (Rage For Order) as Terminator meets Dracula.
@fraginat0r There's no need to do that to goth. Gothics require love instead and that other thing had only ever and mostly discouraged people to love one another.
@GNR4Alife you are entitled to your opinion, but personaly i didnt even like operation mindcrime that much, i still to this day listen to rage for order over and over
I know what you are feeling talking about "gothic vibes" - but definitely it is progressive. I think cavecandle31 is right. But never mind - those were the times...
I know what you are feeling talking about "gothic vibes" - sometines I'm feeling the same way! Never mind - definitely it is progressive! cavecandle31 and eurapeon are right here.
@shockadelica *chuckles a bit at "Goth Band'. Check out Queen of the Ryche and The Lady Wore Black. Then listen to Operation: Mindcrime start to finish. i'm glad you found them.
@shockadelica Hi. Well, people are still replying to your year-old comment as if you just asked it yesterday. How annoying does that get? Anyway, I hope you've heard much more of this great band by now.
@shockadelica i think some of their writing may have been a little goth-influenced. Scott (drummer) and the immortal Chris (guitar) were fans of Sisters of Mercy. this album has a creepy element to it. i wouldnt call them "goth ' by a longshot, but theres just something there that is very 'gothic' - the backing vocals, the keyboards....
Geoff tate;s vocals were PHENOMENAL in this one. .. . amazing. .there is a Christian band from scandinavia or sweden. . .Veni Domine. . .. search the video for "The Sentinel". . . from the album "Fall Babylon Fall". . . his vocals are the closest to tate;s I have ever heard. . .serious medieval progressive power/classical metal. .. .check it out. . . .If you like the sound on this album . you might like that one too.
Yes most definitely the song "In the day of the Sentilnel" is on youTube. . .Veni Domine. is the band. . . the album is actually no longer being produced and I can no longer even find it USED on amazon!! ITunes has their latest album "tongues". . . but no more. .. dont know why . they would sell more if they made their earlier stuff available on MP3. . . PEACE.
A memory jar.This was music from seattle,like sanctuary,alice in chains,grunge was just slowed down punkrock to me.This was the premier talent from there though.
Some of the best drumming on an album...ever.
