Holy smokes!!!!! She has some pipes!

The band sounds AMAZING!!!🔥🎸❤️🤘

As a fan who grew up nursing on QR, bravo to everyone. That was splendidly performed. I never would have imagined the vocals done any other way but Geoff’s but she did an excellent interpretation in a way that sounded her own and not Lounge Actish. I’ll be sure and check her out.

Phil did an excellent job channeling his inner Eddie Jackson Bass line was on point and more

Her voice is AMAZING!!!!!!!!!!!!!

This was absolutely incredible. This is a difficult song to cover without either sounding too dissimilar to the original or else as if one is trying to imitate their vocalist. But Kristin was true to herself, and still killed it. I was blown away by how much your backing vocals sounded like theirs! Richie, that solo was pure magic. You NAILED the tone of the original. Lastly, the production was ALSO incredibly faithful to the original! That was a near-perfect mix. This brought back some great memories. You guys are legends, you are.

Such a challenging song. Great job!

WOW!!! I have been a Queenryche fan since their very beginnings in Seattle Washington. I have to say that this is one of their best songs. As I understand the history it's a song that was written about Seattle itself and coming home from the long miles of touring. You guys did an amazing job with this. As a vocalist and guitar player myself in high school back in the dayz I can assure anyone that this is not an easy bar to match. The music alone is on a level that will stand the test of time of any Beethoven or Chopin concerto.bThen there's the unbelievable vocal stylings of Mr. Geoff Tate. What can I say... A legend. Give yourselves a round of applause people. I only listened to your rendition once thus far but I think you nailed it note for note!!! Incredible. I will listen to this many times and even if I hear anything not 100% on point it will still be an amazing tribute to an incredible band born and raised in Seattle Washington all those years ago. Thank you for your outstanding performance.

This is as good as the original!!! WOW!!!!!!!!!

That was (as always) excellent. Now get back to producing that Jon Anderson and the Band Geeks Blu-Ray :)

Absolute perfection! A cover that honors the original and gives a new spin with those vocals. What more could one ask for? This is just glorious.

That was incredible. I'm a huge Queensryche fan. I was a bit nervous about watching this, but you all did such a great job

Ummm.....DAAY-AAM!! That gal has some pipes! Had to watch twice but all of 'em are singing back up right? Absolutely spot on. Flawless performance. Don't want to call it a cover. Too good. If these musicians are geeks then they are my new favorite geek band. Luv luv luved it!

This sounds amazing. You guys crushed it. The lead guitars are 100% doing Degarmo justice, the tone is dead on and you nailed the solo. Nailed. The solo from this song is one of the best guitar solos of the last 50 years IMO. This is so good.

Just now seeing this, as an old school Queensryche fan, two thumbs up!

They hit all the harmonies that’s fucking awesome!!!impeccable Job!!

Outstanding! Kristin IS incredible - and those backing vocals are really good, too.

Goosebumps ... Awesome to hear a woman sing it so well ... Oh Yeah 🤘

Dont know how this ended up in my recommendations, but holy cow the instrumentation/mixing/vocals of this was insane. Wow 👏

Amazing performance! Great musicians & Kristin……. DAMN!

Awesome vocals! Stoney Brook U. is the gift that keeps giving!

One of my favorite Queensryche tunes and a fantastic cover!

As a massive Queensryche fan, they nailed.

I've listened to this like 15 times now on my Logitech Z906 system. Super-tight band. The guitars are perfectly mixed and I love the tone - it's slightly different but I like different. Also the guitars sound a bit heavier in the pre-chorus, which I like. Bass sounds great. Drummer is spot on. Backing vocals are great. This is really an incredible rendition of a great song.

Thank you for showing some love for an Excellent Seattle band, Queensrÿche!!! They have many songs that are just asking to be covered. Thank you for sharing your skills and art with us.

Absolutely awesome!!!!! And she is one hell of a singer!! 💯🙏👍🤘🤘

amazing cover! amazing GUEST! She is a beast! I am speechless!

Holy shat!!!! That voice!!!! And the band! Wow.

Remarkable….you guys never disappoint!

Richie is the best! I like the voices in this.

Awesome! Vocals were incredible!!

Nice job geeks. You nailed it. Great leads Richie.

That was seriously fucking awesome! Every single member fully delivered, and the backing vocals were shockingly good. The lead vocals were top notch as well! 🤘

Wow! She nailed Geoff’s vocals! That bass intro is so iconic. What an incredible song!!

The tones are amazing. The vocals. The track picks.

I've always thought Queensryche was underrated. Empire is an epic album. Great job with the song.

If I may be greedy… more Queensrÿche pleeeeeease ❤🤘

WOW! WOW! WOW! Amazing performance! I’m mesmerized! ❤

Dear Lord in heaven. That was wonderful. Goosebumps on the chorus. 🔥🔥🔥

She (Kristin) was amazing, the band was also amazing as usual

Fantastic! Love the bass in the intro, Richie's solo, and the vocals are incredible. 🙂

You guys continue to prove that DI'd instruments and electric drum sets are the way to go now. This sounds fantastic. If this was fed out to a big arena PA system audiences would be amazed at just how good it sounds.

Just listened to this album in full a few days ago. Well done! Anybody Listening would be great too.

Fantastic song great cover well done❤❤

Background vocals are AMAZING FELLAS !!! Great job. Blown away

Holy crap! Simply the best version of this song. Full stop.

Kristin was phenomenal. What a voice! Backing vocals were also superlative.

I can’t stop watching this cover. Y’all nailed the harmonies it sounded so rad.

Wow!! Love that low tone!! Perfect song choice for that killer voice.

One of the best Queensreich songs hands down. This band just killed it!! Great up tempo version and the vocals are sick sick SICK!! Love the unassuming dad bod musicians that can play the hell out of their instruments.. Thanks for the production everyone, absolutely spectacular!!! 👍❤️

Wow!! Great job! 🤘🏻😁🤘🏻

I'm a Queensryche fan from the very beginning, the E.P. and The Warning. I can unabashedly say.........that fu__ing ROCKED !!! 😎👍

Killin it! Great job! Love her vocals and the playing was perfection!

Wow!!! Blown away… again. That’s for doing these Richie. That’s a room full of talent!!! ❤

Those background vocals are impeccable.

As a sound man, I can tell you whoever mixed this did a pretty great job. All of the band is tight, and the BGVs were on point. Then there’s the drummer. I’m also a drummer and grew up on Scott Rockenfield’s playing in QR. This guy clearly didn’t do his homework, as he missed many of the intricacies that make this song great. Regardless, very solid cover.

Surprised to see Kristin here! Thanks Richie for covering one of my favorite bands... Excellent condition 💯👍 🔥🎸🔥

Heyyy Richie and everyone! It’s so great to see a new video!! 🎶😄 I know of Queensryche but I am not familiar with this song. You all sound amazing!! This is a great cover!! The singer is amazing!’ 👍 love that guitar work

I must confess… Being a Queensrÿche fan… Having grown up in this time… A Seattlite (BY BIRTH ONLY)… A Tacoman… Seeing that this cover was a woman in Geoffs place, I was concerned. I was wrong. This sounded great! Thank you for NOT changing the song itself.

Kristin Starkey done amazing job on vocals for this song. LOVE IT

Excellent as always guys! Tearing it up, and Kristin with those killer vocals. Awesome work!

Are you kidding me??? You guys are completely giving me goosebumps like insane@! This is spot on nailing this beyond words. ❤️‍🔥🌟✨❤️‍🔥🌟✨❤️‍🔥 Fantastic vocals!!!

Outstanding all around! Singer & lead guitar just crushed it.

Wow! The lady can certainly sing and what a range. The backup is amazing as usual.👍👍🇨🇦

Wow excellent cover❤

Very talented musicians.

One of my favorite albums of all time. This is about as perfect as it gets aside from seeing the boys live back then. Lead tone is spot on!

Fantastic song choice and execution! Great job as always!!

Damn Great as always and Kristin what a beautiful and powerful voice drop and dead gorgeous.

Wow. Multiple musicians doing double, triple duty near flawlessly on a difficult composition...just bonkers ❤❤

Insanely great cover! Kristin killed the vocals. Happy Thanksgiving Richie and crew!

This is really cool, great version, particularly the vocals. But it just goes to show how astonishing Geoff Tate was back then, because he made this song sound effortless!
