This song should of been a hit on the radio.

This album (Empire) and Mindcrime are two of the finest prog metal albums ever. And the fact that they could pull it all off live puts them in a very small, very exclusive circle of legendary bands. One day they will be rediscovered, and finally have their due. For now, those of us who remember them need to tell our younger friends - this is what it used to be like, when rock bands were MUSICAL!

Yes sir!!

One of my top 10 fave guitar solos of all time. So melodic and pretty simple. Great example of a perfect solo.

Saw this tour in '91 Buffalo front row. Incredible!!!

This is one of those inspirational songs from Queensryche that, unfortunately, did not receive the airplay it should have received. It is song that is a great call to action. What is particularly lamentable is that this song was written over 20 years ago, and many of the problems that this song speaks of are still occurring today, and some of these problems have gotten worse. Viewing how little the world has worked to rectify these systemic problems, since "Resistance" was written, illustrates the truism, expressed by Hegel: "We learn from history that we do not learn from history."

Amen bro. My favorite Queensryche song because I love the lyrics as much as the music, down to the drum parts that scott plays. Gonna be covering it on my new album

What a musicians, sadly the human race don't make that kind of music anymore, Awsome♥️♥️♥️

Prime Queensryche were on another level. Operation Mindcrime, Empire & Promised Land are among my favourite albums of all time. Once DeGarmo left it all went downhill for me. I know the band are still performing and I would love to see them but it just ain't the same.

This song should be on the set list . Very appropriate now.

greatest concert I ever saw...period. End of list

Empire was one of my favorite album in the 90s. Quarantine has found me being nostalgic a lot more than usual. Life was so much easier back in 91/92. Now, I’m middle aged and getting old

Empire was released on this day 8/20/90. It's the 4th full-length studio album by the American heavy metal band Queensrÿche. The album stands, Queensrÿche's most commercially successful release, reaching triple platinum status. The primary single, the power ballad "Silent Lucidity", reached number 1 on the Mainstream Rock Tracks and number 9 on the Billboard Hot 100. "Silent Lucidity" was also nominated in 1992 for the Grammy Awards for Best Rock Song and Best Rock Vocal Performance by a Duo or Group. The album won a 1991 Northwest Area Music Award for Best Metal Recording.

best song from empire album

The boys at the height of their power nailing an underrated gem

Awesome Performance! this Is their absolute best song on the Amazing Masterpiece Empire album, maybe their best song Ever!!!... wow.. live they sound exactly same as on the Empire album EXCELLENT LIVE PERFORMANCE FROM A MASTERPIECE ALBUM

"Listen to the call of the wild!"

Would love love love to find this entire concert including all the extra songs as well as Operation Live crime :D

What a great band. I was only able to see them once with the DeGarmo line-up. I've seen the other iterations of the band several times now and while they are good, none of them come up to the level of the original.

Absolutely Stunning !!

One of the best ever

Awesome. They sound like their records even live. God I loved them in the 90s. At that time Tate was in his zenith. Absolutely the best vocalist in rock ever. I have never seen his equal. Incredible phrasing, unbelievable range, and just the quality of his voice is to die for. Too bad he was such a jerk. He had it all.

@rokstar48 When DeGarmo left, it took a lot out of them. It's also a matter of relevance. Nobody cares about this sort of music anymore, and it's a shame. Now it's all dance moves and auto tuning. This is back when REAL music was on the radio. This is one of the best sounding CDs I ever purchased, and I still listen to it to this day.

The original Ryche still crushes everything. The only other band that can compete with the OG Ryche in songwriting is a post-punk experimental rock band called This Heat. The bands wrote the most mind-expanding thought-provoking musical lyrics.

Saw Q in San Diego. Empire had JUST come out, and they also played this whole set. FAAAAAAAAAAAAWCK !!

Positive!

my favoritet song on the album

@rokstar48 I am from the 80s and I will give you that one. The hair bands really didn't get it, because they all sounded the same and did the same stuff. Bands like Queensryche and Living Colour really stood out because they weren't doing what everyone else was doing and they were following their own path. I still love them for that. :)

@paisleyprincess7996

I loved QR. Sadly, their rise was the beginning of the end...The hit at the worst possible time, when Nirvana hit. Not only that, the whole theatrical hair band stuff was going the way of the 80s...Gone forever. QR wasn’t far from hair band, but it was still associated with it because of how overly dramatic they were. Unfair association, but anything even resembling hair metal was obliterated. The 90s wasn’t a good decade for metal groups

The dvd is called Building Empires. It’s a must have for any Queensryche fan.

This is the movement of revolution. forreall

Still Awesome!

Stop The MADNESS !!!!

This is an official concert available on dvd? Is absolutely fantastic. I WANT IT!!!!

🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘

This is the best QR they can be.

@336kgf the 90s had the best music....so it follows that the 90s had the best A&R people scouting for decent music. Industry people today havent got a clue!

This song is so fitting for a world whose people continue to choke themselves to death for the sake of electrical power and easy living...

Tate\Wilton duet played very well here.

I immediately thought muse when i saw the title

This band should have more subs I live in Washington state so umm wtf

HAPPY MEMEORIAL DAY MEAT CUTTTERS AND MUSCIANS EVERY BODYS FROM PRESLY FRISBY

It sucks ass that the first progressive metal band that wrote the most thought provoking, mind-expanding music has parted ways. Geoff Tates' vocals crushed everyone and still do. And Chris DeGarmos' guitar work and songwriting stand alone. Metal has a vitality of its own and has taken music to the extreme ; it cannot get any harder, faster, technical, emotional nor progressive. That is why it is the sickest form of music humans can create.

No shit. On the bottom of my vid is an advertisement for Pitbull. Uh...WHO?????????????????? Never heard of him/her/it.

I love Geoff, but in this vid he looks like he just got off work at Olive Garden, untucked his shirt, put on some leather tights, and it the stage. That shirt just doesnt scream "rock and roll." It screams, "would you like some more breadsticks?"

That is why it is the sickest form of music humans can create.. i.e. Korn( first album: finest work using bagpipes) the first progressive metal band Queensryche, (key boards, piano work, female vocals, and operatic overture). Metalcore band As I Lay Dying (piano work) and God Forbid (electronic violin and piano work). I am sure there are more metal bands I am not aware of that use others musical instruments not mentioned.
