So incredible! I saw them at a 16 year old back in the 80's opening for KISS at the Spectrum in Pennsylvania and was entirely enthralled thereafter. They were known as the "thinking man's metal." Keep on rocking (check out Kamelot, Circus Maximus, and TNT if you are so inclined.) :)

I personally think that they gave Seattle a bad name. Jimi Hendrix was good, heart was good, and all of the Seattle bands all the early 90s, better known as grunge, or great! I thought Queensreich were boring! I did like the "Operstion Mindcrime" album. It was really good, but adide from that...too Heavy Metal starting out, and too boring from "Empire" on up.

My grandson is only 2, but when he gets a little older, he'll be hearing some Queensryche as long as my heart is still beating.

Queensrÿche Queen Of The Reich Lyrics In the dead of night She'll come and take you away Searing beams of light and thunder Over blackened plains She will find her way Flying high through the night She will hide your fate As she takes your soul from under And the blinding light of the castle fades There is no escape It's the ending of your precious life Your soul slipped away It belongs to the Queen of the Reich The Queen of the Reich Yeah she's coming for you You're fading away Your life cast astray A victim the beast shall obtain The light will not shine For you'll die tonight at her shrine And black is the last thing you'll see Over and over Dreams of dying fill your head It's the sign of the cross That you'll find ahead No one will answer The light is fading away Captive souls are screaming out in pain There is no escape It's the ending of your precious life Your soul slipped away It belongs to the Queen of the Reich You're fading away, No, No, No The Queen of the Reich You're slipping away, yeah The Queen of the Reich

Queensryche Hi Long time fan. I remember recording this video on VHS from MTV's Headbanger's Ball probably late '80's or early '90's. I watched it over and over. I even had the Album on tape cassette. I loved the videos like these. Some of the newer bands are going back to the older theatrical video formats. I had always hoped to see another video that tied in with a continuation of Queen Of The Ryche. Anyway, due to the fact that I had lost my VHS tapes when I became homeless for a few weeks back in 1996, I am so happy to find this video here on KZread. Thanks for the good memories. Keep Rockin'!

The 80's music, the sound, the vocals, the music videos with real props and cool-looking special effects, the looks of the women...you just can't beat any of these, you just can't!

Back when metal was great! Geoff's voice is still unbeatable today. Such a shame there is no more Queensryche.

The absolute best band I ever saw live (mid eighties). The lead singer sounds exactly like this live. His mike went out during the show and you could still hear him in the arena. Amazing show!

When I was back in high school, KLOS of Los Angeles was giving away tickets to the first 100 callers to Queensryche at the Hollywood Palladium. A few weeks prior, for another concert, I had heard the DJ laughing at one of the winners who used the San Diego phone number to 'sneak' in for a win. So, I figured, what the heck; I dialed the San Diego number probably running up the phone bill for my parents, and voila! I won tickets. I couldn't get the car that night, so a metal head friend with an old 70's Cadillac Coupe de Ville hand me down car was invited, and it was quite the show. If I remember, the opening act was Carmine Appice's King Cobra. Oh, and I got a cassette of one of the albums which was played on the way home in my buddy's car, LOL

Dan Steffens We are Part 2. The smartphones have consumed our minds.

Saw Queensryche open up for Judas Priest a few weeks ago and this is one of the songs that really stuck with me. Fantastic band, and still bringing it live!

I saw them on that tour also, the new vocalist impressed me. They sounded tight.

I remembered 13 yrs old seeing this Album in Midland Records Store located at the Methuen Mall in Methuen, MA. My buddy says, you need to buy that....4 song album with Lady wore Black...We put the record on and nearly fell off the couch...Just absolutely UNBELIEVABLE ENERGY and SOUND...A band like No Other...

Rockenfield plays the drums in this vid like a pianist during a grand performance!

Geoff Tates voice rocks! The top of the business!

My first time seeing this video. I've danced to this song, on stage, over 200 times lol. Thanks

I remember hearing this in GTA Vice City stories as a teenager and the song blew me away.

Favorite band of all time!!! I started listening to them at 15, Im 55 now, and I still LOVE them! Fk yeah!

I found Queensryche when Empire came out and I was hooked! I had to listen to as much as I could. Thanks, Queensryche for giving us so much kick ass music!

3:22 amazing special effects 10/10 xD

From the very first moment I heard this, I thought it was the quintessential metal song. 35 years later I still do. It's perfect.

The perfect image for those 80's Sci fi low budget films... 36 years and we are still waiting the finish.

They really showed their Sabbath admiration with this one.

Man, I really like these guys! Miss real music like this; never get old.

This video is way better than every 2014 vid.

+Richard Coffman Haha... that's one of the funniest comments I've seen attached to a KZread video, and I can only imagine it being said with sarcasm. Don't get me wrong; I love Queensryche, and always considered their EP their best album. Maybe because I bought the cassette tape new when it came out, and nothing they did afterward rocked quite as hard (although they still created some amazing stuff). This is one of my favorite Queensryche songs, but the video, although an interesting a window back to a time when MTV actually used to play music instead of completely unrelated television shows, just can't support such an obvious overstatement.

+Richard Coffman everyone is entitled to their opinion, but I must ask...were you on any hallucinogenic drugs when you made this comment? The song is great. Like, really great. It's one of my favorite songs by this band, second only to songs from the "Operation Mindcrime" album. However, this video is complete and total garbage. It's a prime example of why music videos are as irrelevant as they are now. They're irrelevant because they got so far up their own ass, and the creators of them became so desperate to innovate, that they created visual excrement that gets pumped directly into the eye-sockets of everyone who watches videos like this. Let me put it this way. Ever heard of the band "Grim Reaper"? I would put one of their videos on loop for the rest of my life, before this. I came back to this video because I remember watching this vid as a teenager, and thinking it was trash. I wanted to see if I still felt that way. I do.

+The Metal One I get what your saying but why are you shocked with his comment? Every music video today is GARBAGE even compared to this. In fact this video is way better than anything new, sad but true.

+ThunderForce Hell yea man!!!

Queensryche was so ahead of their time! I got Operating Mindcrime on cassette when it first came out and I wore that sucker out. Geoff Gate's vocals and Chris Degarmo's guitar work nobody knew how amazing that was because we were in the times of hair bands and shit like that! I knew because I was into Queensryche when nobody else was!

I was a member of the first fan club before they got famous. There motto was "rocking down the door" and I remember the only album out was the EP

What a masterpiece...Queensryche has a very special place in my heart.

3:42 - Aaaaaaaaannnnnnnndddd........JUMP!

remember when this cassette came out. it was only four songs. but i played that sucker over and over. every now and then had to stick a pencil in the cassette hole to unwind the tape. lol!

Yeah man, I bought the album when it came out. At that time, I remember reading in Hit Parader or Circus Magazine that some record company thought it was so good that they released the LP with only four songs.

first heard this song in the 80's when a friend gave me their first cassette. only four songs on it. i was blown away. became a fan ever since.

THIS IS THE BEST ERA.

Who else had the cassette copy with the same program on both sides? Great times!!

I'm 63 years old ..and I love this song!

Never heard this until tonight on Dee Snider house of hair radio program..I was blown away..

These guys are Elite. When i found them in 1988 i was like 'OMG' 🤟

Pure early '80's US metal, video as well as the track. Superb vocals by Geoff Tate, good job there were no glass windows on set!

Man, the vocals.......

That opening scream wakes the Soul right up !!

Maiden must have been like "oh shit..we better get on the grind", when they first heard Queens.

Steve Harris was an early fan , and had Queensryche open for them multiple times back in the day. I remember seeing their homecoming show supporting The Warning lp , opening for KISS / Animalize tour in Seattle. It was killer.

Empire Tour . LONGBEACH. They played full empire album. Old school material . Thought they opened with warning. *they shut the lights down.?.. then played full Mindcrime with the vhs version playing double screen. Insanity!!!!! We drove quiet in the car. Was Great!

I grew up with Q'Ryche. Haven't heard it for long. What a f..... trip back in time! Awesome! Only the greatest singers sound the same live and on cd. 👌

I recorded almost all the songs from the first mini album played on the radio. It was 1984 when I was 14. I listened to the cassette all day and all night. Now I have the album on CD and still love it.
