Everything you said about Tate I can say about Roy Khan as well: ridiculous range, talent to make you tremble in awe and being totally perfect on stage.

I bought my 1st Queensryche album in early 1991, after also buying my 1st truly high quality home stereo receiver and CD player, both made by Yamaha(everything that company touches turns to gold)! I'd already spent $850(in 1991 dollars) on just those 2 components, so I had to settle for inexpensive 2-way speakers. But the quality of those components compensated for the $150 speakers. After buying the CD player, I needed CD's, and I wanted my choices to be well-produced, high quality recordings that would bring out the MOST of my new system. So I bought Rush's newest "Chronicles"(double album, "best of"), Depeche Mode's new "Violator" album, and Queensryche's newest album, "Empire". All 3 of those CD's were/are VERY WELL mixed and produced, with absolutely TOP notch sound, rivaling even today's newest albums. I was absolutely blown away at how good that system sounded in my apartment living room, despite not having the "ideal" 3-way speakers.

80s metal's best kept secret. It is shocking how few people are familiar with their work.

I saw this a while ago but I forgot to thank you before. Thank you very much for checking out Queensrÿche! You also chose the best quality video available from KZread for this. I could write a book about the band but I'll try to keep it short... :-) I'll just say they're one of the most talented songwriters at least in this genre of music. Geoff Tate's singing and Chris DeGarmo's backing vocals worked really well together. Geoff also had the ability to show lots of emotion through his voice. My favourite album by them is Rage For Order from 1986. It's such an unique album with creative little songs like "Neue Regel" and "Screaming In Digital". The last song "I Will Remember" is also one of the most hauntingly beautiful songs ever written. Most people praise "Operation: Mindcrime" from 1988 as their best. It's an exceptional concept album with lyrics that are even more relevant these days. The songs "The Mission" and "Suite Sister Mary" is where the album really starts to show its melodic brilliance. The songs before that aren't as melodic but always brilliant at least lyrically. And finally just a few words about the album "Empire" from 1990. It's one of the most well produced albums ever made. It sounds very good but many of the songs are more mainstream. They had their biggest hit in "Silent Lucidity", which is a beautiful song melodically and lyrically. The one song from this album that I really recommend for you and all of your viewers is the full studio version of "Anybody Listening?". Just listen to the lyrics as well or read them from somewhere. The song has an official music video but it's an edited version. All the main lyrics of the song are still there in the video version though... Well, this was quite a long text but I hope it was useful for you if you want to hear some more music from Queensrÿche.

This is one of the most under-rated, musically awesome, rock songs of all time. There's not a vocal, drum, or string part that is anything less than stellar. While Geoff's vocals are outside of this planet, the percussion and guitar work could stand on their own without vocals. I'd put this up there with Stairway, Dream On, More Than a Feeling, etc. as iconic rock.

One of the best songs ever! THE best singer ever. Old Queensryche is full of treasures like this. Thanks for the review!

One of the best live performances i've ever seen

The range, control and tone. It's true that those who have naturally lower voices have the advantage in regards to dynamics and tone.

The absolute best voice in 80s - 90s metal or actually any genre hands down. I remember magazines and polls comparing him to the likes of Halford and Dickenson, but in reality there was something about Geoff's tonality that gave him a unique gift second to none. It went beyond just hitting the right notes. As age has its affect on everyone, Geoff's voice changed overtime and he spent sometime restructuring the style of his music to accompany those changes. However after sometime out of the spotlight he has recently regained some of that ability and although is no longer the lead singer in Queensryche he is showcasing his voice once again in multiple other projects. Rock On Geoff!

As great as Geoff Tate was back then (I think only 5 singers were as good or better at this time), props to Chris DeGarmo for having an ethereal compliment to Geoff's power. I think he gets overlooked for his voice because he was such a good guitarist.

Total agree. If anyone else noticed when Chris left the band . They never sounded just right again. Their new guitarist hit the nail on the head with guitar. But vocal backups never found that harmony again .

How Chris took his voice, the rythmn , and created some of the greatest ..Breaks, timing in Heavy Rock...It was a MASSIVE part of why the Ryche sounded as great as they did.

I actually met Chris DeGarmo in 1989. Super nice guy. He was the best guitarist Queensrych ever had indeed!

There is and always has been 2 words to describe Geoff Tate in his heyday....A MACHINE!

I’ve seen Queensryche getting a lot of love lately on KZread and it makes me so happy that people are discovering this incredible band! They really were amazing! Operation Mindcrime is one of my favorite albums ever.

Mtv unpluged is on one the best vocal perfomances ever,Geoff Tate one of the greats....

King! No one can ever reach his level back in the days

I love the band, I love the singer, I love the album, I love the song, most all, I love the reaction and the respect you give this performance the Geoff Tate gives. Rock on Beth!

The best band ever I believe. Listening to them over 40 years 😮 I guess that tells you how old I can be.😊

Geoff Tate is unbelievable! He was the best at that time, nobody could compare to him. Insane vocalist!

Queensryche made my jaw drop to the floor back in 89, i remember now. 😁

Ross, I see where you are going ;)

THIS ! Loved your reaction, totally understandable, Geoff Tate, at that time, was untouchable. Just pure perfection. I NEVER get tired of this concert, the whole band yet alone Geoff puts out a flawless gem of a concert ! When I first heard Queen Of The Reich when it came out, I was immediately sold. Up until Empire everything they put out was spot on. After that, not. But that ca 1983-1991 era is one of the best ever by any band. Thank you Beth, you really loved his performance, as we all do !!!

Geoff range was surreal. And I kinda regret he didn't get to use his lower voice as much as he could in the first period of the band.

Queen of the Ryche from that same concert is amazing as well

So awesome to see you loving this. Tate has long been one of my top 2-3 metal vocalists, and this really shows off his talent, and it's great to see a pro appreciating it. Queensryche is also a long-time favorite of mine. Operation: Mindcrime is an all-time top 5 album for me.

Oh boy, Geoff is one of the bests, LOVE HIM!

You should listen to him from 8 years later (1992) doing an acoustic live set for MTV (with Queensryche). "The Killing Words" is the song to listen to. You really see his lower range and how gorgeous and haunting it used to be.

🤩 It is so moving to see Beth’s enthusiastic reaction to the best metal singers (Kiske, Matos, etc.) but this time she went over the top 😂😂!! But let’s face it, Geoff Tate is really of another planet. I saw him live 10 or so years ago in one of his last tours with Queensryche and I have never seen a better singer on stage. Add to his powerful voice also his strong charisma 👍

I was fortunate and old enough to see him a few times in the 80s and I never seen anything like him , he was inhuman.

No autotune, no backing track, and this was the Encore,

Just before encore. Queen of the Ryche was done right after.

I wore out three QR cassettes back in the 80’s I listened to over and over again. His voice blew me away.

I've seen them live a couple of times in the early 90s. The best performances ever.

You must please do queensryche same concert live Tokyo 1985, "Queen of the Reich"

Do more of old school Queensryche.. Geoff Tate AMAZING!

World tour 85, Buffalo NY, Hands down the best vocal performance I have ever seen! A veteran of more than 100 rock concerts Geoff Tate is beyond compare!!

Great video , been A Queensryche fan since 1985. You should really send Geoff Tate a message and try to get him on your podcast. he's a great guy and does many interviews. Would love for you to see some a more recent performance like his guest appearance with Avantasia " Seduction of Decay " Live at Z7 , Pratteln {CH} 28.06.2017. An epic performance.

When they opened for kiss

You were right. Geoff (and of course, Queensryche) was AWESOME!!!!!

David Kyle was Geoff's vocal instructor, as he was for 90% of Seattle singers in the late 1970s and 80s, including Ann Wilson (Heart), Terry Young (Rail), Layne Staley and everyone in Queensryche (except for Scott Rockenfield).

One of best rock bands ever! But was so under rated. I get goose bumps every time.

Great tune, not only the vocals but the entire song so well put together but Geoff Tate is a master of vocal pitch. Beautiful

Wow, really enjoyed this, Beth. Thanks for posting. I’ve always been a huge fan of Queensryche.

Beth's reaction is sooo cute, love her blue eyes.

Ok now I know you are awesome you picked this on your own. Geoff Tate ruled at this point in History.

As others have said, Tate, was in a class of his own. By the time they got famous, there was no one in the genre who could really go that high as a more natural baritone without it sounding screetchy (I know that's not a word lol). Being from the north west originally, I remember as a kid when they arrived on the scene it was a revelation. A band we could call our own! Pretty much everyone else was from the UK or California. I loved the original Queensryche, and it still bums me out that they haven't been able to put whatever caused the fight and lawsuits behind them.

I've been wanting to see you do this song for ages I'm so happy you chose it! Geoff Tate is so epic and the lyrics are great too. This whole album was phenomenal!

Still one of the greatest songs of all effing time. And thank you Beth for digging it soooo much.

If I could ask Geoff one question… “who hurt you?” Cos that is some serious passion right there.

Geoff Tate is considerably one of the best singers in my opinion.
