Queensrÿche - Queen Of The Reich

[Ptboi2622]

awesome song, I remember back in the day in Maryland there was a band called: Wrathchild, local Md Band who covered this song, that was when I fell in love with Queensryche !!

[5eddie5]

this song is so badass!!!!!!!!!!

[Titsmageeski]

Geoff rules!

[MrYngwie88]

[edger428]

[mcmanaman13]

Τραγούδι για.......πολύ ξύλο!

[Taurusaud]

[AggelosHetfield]

Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa­hhhh!!!! Geof!!!! \m/ metal GOD !! one of the best voices! 

[videogamescool12]

i seriously wish i was born in the 80s :´ )

[AgentofChaos1966]

Considering the fact that I own the damn song and have since it came out I know what I'm talking about.

LMAO@considering this came out before audio quality even existed - That is one of the most idiotic things I've yet.

[SteveBerberovic]

From humble beginnings...

[AgentofChaos1966]

your audio quality on this sucks



[seehound619]

@AgentofChaos1966 which dont say much...considering this came out before audio quality even existed..... I actaullly think the quality lends more realism to the sound of the original music......those of us who grew up on records can probably appreciate that....

[AntiLegionnaire]

11 people belong to Queen of the reich!

[tade555]

[DreamWarrior87]

Those who still blindly accept after all these years the lies that the media wants people to believe, that grunge shit ended 80s metal, think again. It was rap crap who did end ALL metal, including thrash, when it started to gain attention and popularity years before grunge, in '87. Grunge and alternative crap was around in '88-89 but nobody gave a shit about it yet. Just like thrash couldn't. It was because of the music industry that it happened, not because it was good. Learn that, you idiots

[Sora657]

@DreamWarrior87 Metal and rock lives on forever .. Power metal , Death,Black ,opera But still gotta love the classics Sodom , Iron maiden, slayer , Deicide , & zz top

[LORDGOAT1976]

REAL METAL YEAH

[thebestofprankcalls]

QUEEN OF THE RAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA­AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA

[miroslavgajdos]

what video...seriously love their every 2nd cd..

[bigD2387]

Man he sounds just like Bruce Dickinson in this song

[miroslavgajdos]

@bigD2387

really? I never made that connection...wchih song of brices comes closest?

[bigD2387]

@miroslavgajdos listen to something like Invaders or The Wicker Man. The high pitch that Geoff sings with in this song sounds just like Bruce's high screams.

[MrVANJR]

@bigD2387 UR TALKINK ABOUT B J GEOFF HAS MORE Range i know dream theather is a want 2 b

[bigD2387]

@MrVANJR what?

[Hvaughnster]

killer shit got it on record

[DEEHARDONE]

Queensryche supreme

[bigrigJim]

someone told me that the members of Queensryche were NOT gay, which made me scratch my head and wonder , why didn't they name the band Kingsryche ????

[Hvaughnster]

@bigrigJim because that sounds fuckin lame

[THEATREofPAIN270]

@bigrigJim If you think about it, Why didnt Queen name themselves King! They are not gay. And if they were, So what. Rob Halford is and we all know he is the Metal God. Judas Priest didnt name themselves Judas Nun, or Sister. LOL. Have a great day.

[Entity79]

@THEATREofPAIN270

"Rob Halford is and we all know he is the Metal God."

Fact. Being gay does not make Halford rock any less.

[THEATREofPAIN270]

@Entity79 It wasn't meant in a bad way. I have 2 very good friends that are gay.

[DreamWarrior87]

@bigrigJim Why the fuck do some people think that if a metal band has some female elements in it, they are automatically "gay"? Don't gays like other men, not women? Come on.

[videogamescool12]

@bigrigJim because they named their band queenryche after one of their best songs which is this one "queen of the reich" i think their band used to be called THE MOB orr something like that

[uiop988]

this seriously sounds like something bruce dickinson would sing, QUEEN OF THE RAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA­AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA­AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA­AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA­AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA­AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA­AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA

[GARRISONAMERICAN]

[unincorporated1]

Geoff Tate = Greatest voice in rock history!

[Camaron47]

@unincorporated1 Second only to Dio of course :D

[HannesBargeld]

fuckin epic great song!

[jhfcf]

Yes, Geoff Tate, Ronnie James Dio, Bruce Dickinson, Rob Halford...but let's not forget about Joey Belladonna (Anthrax), Steve Grimmett (Grim Reaper) and King Diamond (Mercyful fate)!!!!

[SgtCrom]

@jhfcf, no, let's go ahead and forget Joey Belladonna (that fucker can't sing his way out of a wet paper bag).

[MsSoniasoniasonia]

@SgtCrom I think I love you.

[SgtCrom]

@MsSoniasoniasonia, LOL!!! I see I'm not the only one whose ears have been offended by Joey Belladonna.

[MsSoniasoniasonia]

@SgtCrom Hahaha! Indeed! Ugh, and you have proper grammar. *Swoon*

[GARRISONAMERICAN]

@SgtCrom Not yet and thank for the warning!

[quicklist98]

ten iron maiden fans disliked this video

[Cleevous666]

@quicklist98 Im an Iron Maiden fan and I would like it twice if I could :)

[MajorPwnage96]

The vocals remind me of Bruce Dickinson of Iron Maiden, Rob Halford of Judas Priest, and Joey Belladonna from Anthrax. Nevertheless, this is incredible!

[Tessmage]

@MajorPwnage96

More like his idol... Ronnie Dio. ;)

[MajorPwnage96]

@Tessmage I hear it sort of, but Bruce and Rob seem more prominent (I'm not sure if that's the right word.) to me.

[TrophyHunter52]

so glad Rockstar put this on VROCK

[celticattack]

One of THE best screams in metal.....

[trentfijolek]

HELLL YEAH R.F.O.!!!!!!!! QR!!!

[TheTec12]

FUCK'N SKIDS

[TheKeithCarnes]

The best part starts at 2:15 and ends at 3:05

[inish007]

By far one of the best bands of the 80's!

[pepingalarza100]

Wicked I still have my ep...awesome!!!!

[IDIGBLACKCHIX]

10 people are stupid

[VIDGOLIC]

THIS IS SOOOOOOOO DAMN GOODLOVE THE SCREAM!!

[thefreak9087]

way back in the early 90s i took my best friend to radio city hall and we had 4th row tickets to see queensryche who open up for iron maiden..i also took home a drumstick when boomer chucked it out..

[sroinujacob]

@Sheaiski: I agree. Not only the introductory scream is the greatest in metal history but the one at 1:38 and at the end of the song as well. Geoff has the best metal voice ever. He has a four-octave range, which goes from the A below low C, or A1, up to the A above high C, or A5, try to top that!!! Bruce Dickinson comes very close :)

[69reconmarine]

geoff tate,ronnie james dio,bruce dickinson,ozzy,rob halford, just to name a few of my favorites will always have an inluencial affect in my love for hard rock/ metal and for all of you front men out there dont give up the dream...

[Blackgold3112]

Almost as good as Izzy from Steel Dragon.

[Stephen0417]

@Blackgold3112 ROF LMAO...HELLUVA POST THERE ...ESPECIALLY IF YOU PICTURE HIM REMOVING HIS WIG!!

[Blackgold3112]

@Stephen0417 thanks bro, I'm glad I could provide some amusment. I actually wanted to name my son Jeffrey but decided to name him Geoffrey in honor of you know who.

[DuDiN993]

Fucking good vocal

[THEFLYINGREDNECK]

best singer in metal in my opinion

[exorstaffan]

I LIKE IT,,I THINK I,M GONNA DO A COVER OF THIS SONG,,,TRANSLATE IT TO SWEDISH,THAT WOULD BE AWSOME,!HA HA JUST A JOKE,.NOT DESTROY GOOD MUSIC..PEACE OUT

[darthsasuke554]

My god. I mean, My Geoff Tate!

[bakgo3]

oh man i feel like 19 again !!! great song!  great time!

[roji556]

Queensryche fits in none of those, they have their own category they share with people like Rush, it's called the "So badass and talented that we don't fit a category"

[stayasleepopeneye]

still here ha ha ha



[chippprrr]

the coming of grunge killed the big hair days, uhhg!

I'll never loose my taste of heavy metal like this!

I attended, at Bellevue high school & am 45 now but feel it was a real priviledge

to have met such great talent as both tate & degarmo, kelly gray from redmond, layne staley, adam brenner, brad sinsel of TKO at (the battle of the bands).

[irondeth2]

@chippprrr well, you said grunge killed metal but you also said layne staley(alice in chains) is talented.

[aggelosf1]

scream for all of us Geoff

[VideoMask93]

This, to me, is speed metal at its finest.

[johnnyluvstacos]

@VideoMask93 Not speed metal at all, but I value your opinion. If you want speed metal, check out the first 2 Megadeth albums.

[VideoMask93]

@johnnyluvstacos I always thought of Megadeth as thrash...I'll check more into those albums.

[johnnyluvstacos]

@VideoMask93 Technically Megadeth IS thrash, but they were a lot faster than the other thrash bands back then. I'd consider Queensryche more hair metal than speed metal.

[VideoMask93]

@johnnyluvstacos Hair metal doesn't produce stuff like Operation Mindcrime. They're more progressive with definite hair influences.

[johnnyluvstacos]

@VideoMask93 Operation Mindcrime is fucking awesome. I'll admit, they definately have more substance than most hair metal bands.

[VideoMask93]

@johnnyluvstacos Again, they don't really fit the mold. The hair metal mold is more based around looks than music. Then again, Tesla....

[ryancool614]

in 1983 i seen queensryche in seattle openning for dio, badass

[LadyCowbell]

How can anyone scream so long and well!!! I love high metal screams, I can say they're my favorite part of the genre. None of these new bands do it (at least well). They all do deep growling yells they need to do these old school screams they make me melt!!

[XA351GT]

@LadyCowbell Check out Holy Grail, Their singer Luna is very much like the great metal screamers of the 80s

[MrSilentDoubleA]

@LadyCowbell Some of the bands who still do those kind of things...Pagan's Mind, Pain of Salvation(They do LOTS of crazy things), Lost Horizon, Silent force, Royal Hunt and tons of clichè power metal bands ...:)

[ThePeachykehn]

Your soul's slipped away...it belongs to the Queen of the Reiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiich!

[Adarvuli]

motherfuck YEA!

[perrottafamily1]

This > The Nameless 2011 Album by the same band

[gtrmachine11]

I remember buying this album ( yes album ) i was blown away when I heard this guy rip into that vocal ........this whole album is fuckin sic ...lady wore black . night rider ....just the best vocalist on the planet ...

[kiljaeden2222]

Damn, what a great voice and song.

[AUberMegaSecret]

@HerbertWestIII Now that's an insult.

potencia increible cuerdas vocales al limite me encanta

[GRWarPig1]

why Geoff Tate has to be so AWESOME? :D

[MrGerbilGoof]

I've seen this awesome song on...duh

[hvymtlbabe]

Geoff Tate.. awesome singer and hot, hot, hot!

[AreaFlow]

this song created god 

[Rowdyrecords55]

THis guy's voice sounds somewhere in between halford's and dickinson's. SO therefore it is AWESOME

[fritz2271]

yes unforget i will never! fabulous voice the whole time. It was a chance worth taking going to poughkeepski. I wish I remembered my money so that i could have got a shirt 4 me & my kid. I was so excited I left Albany W no ID no $. Had 2 ask my X 2 Lone me entance & water $.. great thanx again. Helped give me my daughter too!!!

[DeathRaiderMMT]

@Katydid937 Geoff Tate can sing six octaves comfortably

[Katydid937]

I was turned onto this band only months ago by my hub. My thought was "where have I been?" Enjoying "Yes", "Aerosmth", "Styx", etc...I fell in love w/Queens rytte

immedately! Geoff Tate has a 4-octave voice; right up there with Freddie Mercury,

Dennis DeYoung, etc. He can "yell" w/more quality and PASSION than Steven Tyler, Mic Jagger, and I hate to admit it--Robert Plant! As a matter of fact, to all to judge cuz UR homophobic, he is married w/4 kids. "THOU SHALL NOT JUDGE!

He is awesome!

[aubs2u]

Luv it

[VideoMask93]

@vTHExUNKNOWENv The door is that way. Take your damned racism and leave us be with our music.

[MetalRooster80]

@VideoMask93 Precisely!!! You wanna make racist comments, go listen to Johnny Rebel or David Allen Coe...you're not wanted here.

[THEFLYINGREDNECK]

i was the 1,001th like

[nighthawk584]

One of the best Metal Songs EVER and by one of my favorite metal singers imo...from their EP...heard it when it first came out and they were not even known yet. Needless to say, this song spread like wildfire !

Only one other singer in Metal tops Geoff as my all time Favorite...Rob Halford.

[sirdilznik]

Hundreds have tried but no one has ever come close to emulating Geoff Tate's heavy metal high pitched scream. Oh and the song kicks major ass too.

[VideoMask93]

@sirdilznik Frankly, Bruce Dickinson did it before Tate came along (Tate claims influence from him), but that's beside the point. Tate's more than worthy to be in the same pantheon as Dickinson.

[fritz2271]

@VideoMask93 yes saw him

[fritz2271]

@fritz2271 poughkeepski the chance wish they would read this. Fabulous..I was winning pool games and meeting the father of my child to this. It was hot & special. Cant believe his voice & seeing them up face . Great concert. Thanx.

[frightmarefan89]

such a bad ass song! glad i found it..my pops just let me have a mix tape..this was track 9, and i was like WTF!!! they got some slow shit and this blew me away...anyone recommend other tracks like this. fuck this shit is dope!!!

[VideoMask93]

@frightmarefan89 Metallica and Megadeth both have very good fast songs. Metallica's crowning fast songs are, for me, Creeping Death, Trapped Under Ice, Motorbreath, Phantom Lord, Damage Inc., Disposable Herores, Battery, and Master of Puppets. Megadeth's good fast songs are...well, much of what they put out on Rust in Peace and Killing is my Business. Iron Maiden's songs were an early influence on this band, so most of their early songs are similar to this, and all exhilarating to hear.

[anaperez39]

cool

[TrafficRiot911]

queensryche's best song. definitly one of my favorite metal songs of all time, by one of the greatest metal bands of all time

[menom7]

OMGAWD.................is there a FINER "SHRIEKING-SCREAM" than Mr. Geoff TATE?? His musical-screams can PEEL PAINT right off the freakin WALL!! WOW!!

[Sneekatoek]

No doubt their finest

[Sheaiskl]

Geoff Tate's intro scream is one of the greatest in metal history

[MARINERMINI]

@Sheaiskl and the other is Kiske's at Victim Of Fate...

''you'll burn in heeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee­eeell!!!!!!!!!!!''

[Deakesy]

@Sheaiskl I Think Painkiller Just Tops It

[asasassify]

@Deakesy yeah... but then theres take hold of the flame ;p

[theinmortal6]

It sounds like Geoff Tate. Oh, wait...

[totallylate]

queensryche kicked so much *ss until they became silently lucid

[timris]

Geoff's voice kicks walls; and whole performance is perfect for this melody....thanks for sharing! have not heard them for some time-in this genre,one of the best,ever heard-no doubt.......

[Rowdyrecords55]

If Halford's voicebox had a kid with Dickinson's voicebox, this is what you would get.

[MrCasper179]

it sounds like helloween great band

[musicman972]

@MrCasper179 Before Helloweens' time.

[deathcert75]

FUCKING BRILL YEEEEEAAAAHHHHH

[MultiJenn1]

I LOVE THE BAND

[Littleguy591]

This IS one of THE best songs I've heard in all my life... Lol. Very Awesome!!!!

[Dratman333]

Intro sounds like Rob Halford sang Highway Star by Deep Purple. Quite awesome.

[Twowheelvolpe]

One of, if not THE best intros and main riffs of all 80s metal.

[ekimnosnaws]

What fan of 'Queen of the Reich' and 'Lady wore Black' would even tolerate later songs such as their claim to fame song 'Silent lucidity'? I got angry every time at work when that song first came out, having to endure it because i couldn't change station or turn it off. Thats sad to thing thats their biggest hit. Pure torture to me

[hjejmnse1]

@ekimnosnaws ....I know I thought Queensryche wasn't that good because I thought they were a slow acoustic band, but hell no they're not....

[SgtCrom]

@ekimnosnaws, dude, I feel your pain because it was my pain too. Queensryche's "Empire" and Metallica's black album both came out around the same time and I remember feeling totally chumped by both of them. I was like "I loved you sell-out bitches!!! I promoted you to every fucking metalhead I knew and what do you do?!? You put out PUMP MUSIC like Aeroshit!!!" . . .yeah, I kinda went off the deep end. You shoulda seen me when Megadeth put out "Risk".

[sasman888]

@SgtCrom

That sucks man.I've faced the same problem with many other bands too... not only with Queensryche, Megadeth and Helloween... First they make fucking good stuff but then something happens and they are forced to change their style to shit -.- :( and that just sucks! I bet queensryche had to change their style to progressive rock / metal what ever it is called because the beginning of 90's was commercially bad - hard time for metal bands... there was that nirvana shit selling fucking good

[VideoMask93]

@sasman888 Or maybe they just wanted to be more progressive?

[sasman888]

@VideoMask93

maybe you're right about that... But I still think it was a very big mistake to start making more progressive stuff... I simply love this old Queensryche with high-pitched vocals of Geoff Tate... He can still DO IT, sing like that BUT I don't know why he's no longer doing that :(... that was some awesome shit in the 80's.
