They opened for KISS and nobody knew who they were! By the end of the set, everyone knew who they were, and could not wait to go pick up the CD! History made from there both musically, and in studio, by one of the best live bands of all time!

I couldn't agree more. I get tears in my eyes for I miss them more than anything. The change of direction in their songs, music is phenomenal. These guys were the kings of everything. Miss them so so bad.💔

I was born in 1969 and glad I had the best music of the Era years, 80s and 90s,nothing compares, today's music is lame,suits all the sissies of today.

We get off on tate s vocals but his dramatic mannerism on stage shows his epic talent to capture his audience. Omg amazing.😭😱💔❤

Cool tune reminds me of the old days when good music was appreciated. Thanks for that!

+Steve Sullivan I'm with you Steve, no other band has ever touched me the way Queensryche has. I really don't know how to express what their music means to me. From the first time I heard Operation Mindcrime, I was hooked. The words and music are so intense and still significant to this day. Geoff Tate's voice is remarkable, when he sings it's like I can feel it. After Queensryche, other bands seem so basic and shallow......that's only my opinion and feelings after close to 30 years of listening to these guys.

I worked a show they played in Birmingham AL and got to watch soundcheck and setup they had a movie reel big as a tractor tire that played the whole set.. loudest concert I ever been to they played well over an hour guess that’s why I’m deaf lol… RESISTANCE!!! Shouts a man on the right… can’t solve the problems overnight 🤘

So listening to this album again in my 40s is a lot different than my 20s! What a naughty naughty song... Lyrics: Another hungry look in her eyes again Pacing the floor, the hunt begins Skin-tight leather provides my pleasure Wake my fear, surge with the pressure Walk away and leave forever Do I dare? Raise my eyes, she stands Holding out healing hands Are you happy now? I walk the thin line for you Do just what you say to With fear as my friend I walk the thin line One more time for you Addictive face pretending Don't speak the word Forbidden sin relenting I barely heard Screams of entry blur my vision Wake my fear of divine intervention Crawl away and bleed forever If you dare Hand on mouth, the game goes on Love, our stage to play upon Are you happy now? I walk the thin line for you Do just what you say to With fear as my friend I walk the thin line One more time for you I walk the thin line for you Do just what you say to I walk the thin line for you Do just what you say to With fear as my friend I walk the thin line (One more time) one more for you

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.

In the words of Doctor Alex Stone, now that’s a band!!

I was In Modena in 1991, attending the Monsters of rock. Queensryche were the third band to go on stage. They played one of the best concert I ever seen. They closed the show with Silent Lucidy. At the end of it me and the entire audience were astonished. We all gave them a 10 minutes standing ovation and we couldn't stop to applaude. 40 thousand people!!!!!!!! They couldn't leave stage because we were alla there with hands in the air. I saw lots of concert, but I never saw a reaction like that. Metallica roadies were trying to let them leave the stage, because it was Metallica turn to start their performance. Crazy.

Best band along with Alice In Chains to come out of Seattle. Bar None. 1988 's Operation Mindcrine had me getting peeled off the walls lol. I love Geoff And Chris Degarmo what a shredder. Tate has vocals that are supurb do to an 0pera back round. I adore them. Empire rocks as well. Love you guys. Please try to get along. Your brothers.

Saw them in Hershey PA. One of the best shows I’ve ever seen, second row from the stage, I’ll never forget it and I still get goosebumps listening to almost all their songs, almost caught a guitar pick they chucked out, guy in front of me got it just as it was about to go in my hand, I would’ve taken that pic to my grave

They were all top notch artists. Great band.

Saw them on the Empire tour in Spokane, WA, Jan. '92 (or Dec. '91). They filmed a video for one of the songs that snowy night. I recall Geoff Tate was the ultimate professional as they did another take for the cameras, saying, "Please bear with us as we do that one again". They were flawless. Edit: I just looked it up, and we were the last stop on the Building Empires Tour, Jan. 3, 1992, Spokane Coliseum (now demolished). This may even be the video they filmed that night! Someone correct me if I am wrong.

That musical chemistry between Michael chris and goeff is unreal i never saw any band back in that era work a stage quite the why they do with everything contained within them just no other way to put it. But all of them jackson and rockinfield too no one simply performs its a well oiled passionate machine. And that charism made them the best live act of the 80s. I love queenryche. Solid songs and monsters on stage you can't beat that. Damn I miss them.😢💗💯

I adore all of their songs! For the band, I m their big fan, even now!!!!!

Ive been listening to QueensRyche almost every day since I was introduced to their music and I still get goosebumps!! I Love it!!
