Queensryche, didn't get any help from UK radio or TV but were huge in the States and Canada in 1991 which is where I bought the Empire CD (on my honeymoon). I saw Geoff a week ago (May 2022) in a club venue in Newcastle where he did the entire rage to order album and Empire album in two sets. He was amazeballs vocally, and the band were cracking (i.e. very good) too. I've now just seen Whitesnake and Europe and neither Coverdale nor Tempest came even close to their younger vocal performances unlike Geoff. Quite how he sang two full sets then ended on a song with the high notes of Queen of the Ryche I don't know. He sung even better than when I saw QR supporting Dio in the mid '80s. I know he and the rest of the guys had a big falling out with court cases etc, but a Queensryche reunion would be made so much better as a result.

By far not the only band either. For example they never play any of disturbed songs except for those two they're most known for since 2001. Stupify and down with the sickness. I decided one day, almost twenty years late, to check out their entire PLAYLIST, at the time all 113 songs including their off songs, odd balls and rare songs. Every SINGLE ONE of them are at LEAST good, if not AMAZING. I can't believe they only play their mainstream ones. They have some EXCELLENT MATERIAL all through their career. It's absolute shame they didn't get more exposure for their other songs through their career.

Cant figure whats better,vocals,the sublime bass lines or the thunder guitar tones..

"On Feb. 19, 1983, three men stormed into the underground gambling club, where they hogtied and robbed 14 people. To cover their tracks, they methodically shot all 14. Only one person survived in what became known as the "Chinatown Massacre," the worst mass murder in Seattle's history.' Queensryche has always been very topical in their music. That was such a tragic day, and yet, they chose to share the story, with dramatic license, about the up-tick of crime.. Always will be one of my favorite bands of all time!

Don't get me wrong, I love Queensryche, and I even love this song. But you can't change certain human natures. All their religious commentary in the Operation: Mindcrime era looks a bit silly today. Religious leaders have almost no impact on politics today unlike the 1980's. But I can see how it looked scary in the 80's. Even I got annoyed that religious leaders were trying to dictate what I could see on TV. But the conservative movement is dead (as seen with the recent Supreme Court decisions).

There is not Geoff sounding like anybody else. Geoff Tate is Geoff Tate. Completely passionate about everything he sings. Theses are very serious musicians. You just dont make this stuff up. You have to feel every ounce of it.

Umm, you're forgetting Midnight of Crimson Glory. Both were top notch singers, both had the same vocal coach.

They're not just a band their artists it's crazy how Queensryche is not in the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame

JESUS! no one makes songs like this anymore!! Its more revelant today than 1990.. I tapes this off Headbangers Ball back then. What a great band and great track.

Hey look a song with a message. Let's just overlook it and keep playing the same old crappy pop songs over and over again.

This shit was so true on the streets of Baltimore city back in late 80's, life was full of good times , good parties and good people, then there was the 2am hour when the bar's closed, that's when we would take it to the streets and really get wild. Never a dull moment back in those days.

The 80’s was the best decade ever!!! I grew up in south baltimore-locust point. I grew up with the best friends, in the best neighborhood. I would sell my soul if I could go back and do it again, exactly the same-no changes.

I’ve always been a huge fan of Queensryche. Was always amazed how good they are, yet largely overlooked. I’d put them up against the best of biggest headliners of the era.

I hate to burst your "music was real" bubble, but there were a lot of effects and studio tricks used on this song. But, I get what you're saying...it IS more real than most rock today.

They were a head of their time and every thing happened today they wrote about the future.

Song opens with some the most kickass opening 30 seconds in rock history. Then it gets better from there.

Ive always loved Queensryche. ...Geoff Tate had an AMAZING VOICE...I think they were underrated. ..

Saw the following wirtten about this song "Queensrÿche has never been shy to speak their minds in their music. Their outspoken and political style have make them one of the most distinguished bands of all time. They’ve written about war, drugs, politics, and all of the above. There hit song ‘Empire’ is no different, but just how accurate is it in regards to political information and current crisis’? VERY! ‘Empire’ was originally a narrative about a young man who sold drugs and got too deep into the business. But plot-line of this song is SHOCKINGLY factual! In the bridge of this iconic song, you’ll hear frontman Geoff Tate recite factual information about government spending. Though the information was based off of statistics from 1990, the information isn’t actually as dated as you would think! The bridge is truly compelling and resonates heavily to this day. But the most shocking part is how true and impactful this song is just with this factual information alone. It’s always scary when a song predicts the future,..."

racefan32 , Very well put! I've heard Geoff say that some songs are timely and others are timeless. You're exactly right about their music being more relevant today. A couple of good examples are Resistance, N M 156 and Enforce. I heard Geoff say in an interview, about the inspiration for The Warning album, that it was the Bible. Specifically, the book of John. I thought it seemed strange, because out of the 4 gospels, John is the only one that doesn't have the Olivet disclosure.

I always like their guitar arrangements. Perhaps never the fastest, loudest, heaviest or most technical but always sounding appropriate for their songs.

Man this band rocks

Queensryche is one of the greatest progressive metal bands of all time. "Empire" is one of the most underrated albums.

There are 5 bands that I can play on replay for hours upon hours and never get bored. Dokken, Warrant, Guns N' Roses, Van Halen (Hagar & Roth), and Queensryche! Thank you to my dad for raising me on such awesome music! 23, but I feel like a 40 year old man

+Snak Gaming (SnakTV) Your dad sounds cool. Has he introduced you to Alice in Chains? If you like Dokken & Warrant, you might like early Great White, and Def Leppard's early albums (On Through The Night rocks!). Ryche is the best. I've seen them at least 5 times, but only once since DeGarmo left the band. The Mindcrime album is a classic.

Geoff's voice is amazing!

"Brother kill a Brother for a profit of another, game point, nobody wins" yeah they said it.

“Empire” is my favorite Queensrÿche album 🖤

in my opinion geoff tate is the best singer of all time queensryche was in a league of their own just that great of a band

Seattle!!! And its a band from Seattle!!! Hang on Emerald City we got this....

Qryche is by far the most pivotal band for me. Lifelong game changer.
