Jet City Woman - The Band Geeks with Kristin Starkey 

You guys are AMAZING! It was a honor to sing with you guys! Thanks for having me!

Can we get some applause for the Excellent backing vocals?

As a longtime Queensrÿche fan, I applaud this version 🖐💪

A band that can nail a Queensryche song to perfection is a mind-blowing thing to see!

Richie playing the ESP to be extra authentic to DeGarmo/Wilton is...chef's kiss.

Queensryche is one of my all time favorite bands. I grew up in the 80's and grew up with them. And this cover is 🔥

Band Geeks doing Empire in its entirety with Kristin. Wouldn't that be something?! I love love love this version of Jet City Woman.

Superb performance on everyone's part. Let's hear it for enunciation. Great vocals, lead and backing, and flawless instrumentation.

The ESP guitar. The perfect backing vocals. Awesome!

What a voice! The lead singer nailed that song. OMG! Gave me the chills. Love it.

First time I hear Kristin Starkey and she made a HUGE impression! Awesome voice!

The lead guitarist…dang…nailed it! 🤘🏻

There’s some Cher in her voice and I’m not mad about it. Great job everyone!

Nailed it , Vocal Harmonies are spot on

As a fan who grew up nursing on QR, bravo to everyone. That was splendidly performed. I never would have imagined the vocals done any other way but Geoff’s but she did an excellent interpretation in a way that sounded her own and not Lounge Actish. I’ll be sure and check her out.

Holy shat!!!! That voice!!!! And the band! Wow.

After the third listen I am still blown away. Awesome vocals from Kristen. I am gonna play the Empire album the rest of the day!!!

Excellent!!

Phil did an excellent job channeling his inner Eddie Jackson Bass line was on point and more

The tones are amazing. The vocals. The track picks.

Goosebumps ... Awesome to hear a woman sing it so well ... Oh Yeah 🤘

The band sounds AMAZING!!!🔥🎸❤️🤘

That was (as always) excellent. Now get back to producing that Jon Anderson and the Band Geeks Blu-Ray :)

Kristin Starkey done amazing job on vocals for this song. LOVE IT

Absolute perfection! A cover that honors the original and gives a new spin with those vocals. What more could one ask for? This is just glorious.

Kristin was phenomenal. What a voice! Backing vocals were also superlative.

Holy smokes!!!!! She has some pipes!

The backup harmonies are ....Fk Yeah!!! Just nice as hell! Overall...great job group

I don't wanna gush like a fan boy, ....but sheesh , her powerful depth and tone, OMG, so confident !!! ... Richie Ripping it ... Great job guys ... this is golden :) 🎸🎸❤❤

Ummm.....DAAY-AAM!! That gal has some pipes! Had to watch twice but all of 'em are singing back up right? Absolutely spot on. Flawless performance. Don't want to call it a cover. Too good. If these musicians are geeks then they are my new favorite geek band. Luv luv luved it!

Absolutely awesome!!!!! And she is one hell of a singer!! 💯🙏👍🤘🤘

Andy Ascolese is quickly becoming one of my favorite drummers.

Thank you for showing some love for an Excellent Seattle band, Queensrÿche!!! They have many songs that are just asking to be covered. Thank you for sharing your skills and art with us.

@KristinStarkey

If I may be greedy… more Queensrÿche pleeeeeease ❤🤘

amazing cover! amazing GUEST! She is a beast! I am speechless!

This sounds amazing. You guys crushed it. The lead guitars are 100% doing Degarmo justice, the tone is dead on and you nailed the solo. Nailed. The solo from this song is one of the best guitar solos of the last 50 years IMO. This is so good.

WOW!!! I have been a Queenryche fan since their very beginnings in Seattle Washington. I have to say that this is one of their best songs. As I understand the history it's a song that was written about Seattle itself and coming home from the long miles of touring. You guys did an amazing job with this. As a vocalist and guitar player myself in high school back in the dayz I can assure anyone that this is not an easy bar to match. The music alone is on a level that will stand the test of time of any Beethoven or Chopin concerto.bThen there's the unbelievable vocal stylings of Mr. Geoff Tate. What can I say... A legend. Give yourselves a round of applause people. I only listened to your rendition once thus far but I think you nailed it note for note!!! Incredible. I will listen to this many times and even if I hear anything not 100% on point it will still be an amazing tribute to an incredible band born and raised in Seattle Washington all those years ago. Thank you for your outstanding performance.

Richie is the best! I like the voices in this.

Amazing performance! Great musicians & Kristin……. DAMN!

One of my favorite Queensryche tunes and a fantastic cover!

I can’t stop watching this cover. Y’all nailed the harmonies it sounded so rad.

Such a challenging song. Great job!

They hit all the harmonies that’s fucking awesome!!!impeccable Job!!

That was seriously fucking awesome! Every single member fully delivered, and the backing vocals were shockingly good. The lead vocals were top notch as well! 🤘

Just the fact this song is hard to pull off and many have failed miserably trying you guys did an amazing job and of course Kristen just nails it!! What a treat.

Awesome vocals! Stoney Brook U. is the gift that keeps giving!

That was incredible. I'm a huge Queensryche fan. I was a bit nervous about watching this, but you all did such a great job

Remarkable….you guys never disappoint!

I've listened to this like 15 times now on my Logitech Z906 system. Super-tight band. The guitars are perfectly mixed and I love the tone - it's slightly different but I like different. Also the guitars sound a bit heavier in the pre-chorus, which I like. Bass sounds great. Drummer is spot on. Backing vocals are great. This is really an incredible rendition of a great song.

Proper and just use of an ESP mirage, what KILLER tone on Richies guitar!

OMG I have never commented on a cover before, but I shed tears listening to this. Awesome cover!!!!

Fantastic! Love the bass in the intro, Richie's solo, and the vocals are incredible. 🙂

Outstanding all around! Singer & lead guitar just crushed it.

WOW! WOW! WOW! Amazing performance! I’m mesmerized! ❤

I'm a Queensryche fan from the very beginning, the E.P. and The Warning. I can unabashedly say.........that fu__ing ROCKED !!! 😎👍

Wow!!! Blown away… again. That’s for doing these Richie. That’s a room full of talent!!! ❤

The younger lady can sing at its highest level. A PLUS A PLUS A PLUS

Background vocals are AMAZING FELLAS !!! Great job. Blown away

Nice job geeks. You nailed it. Great leads Richie.

Surprised to see Kristin here! Thanks Richie for covering one of my favorite bands... Excellent condition 💯👍 🔥🎸🔥

Totally done the Proper way, Amazing Thanks 🙏

You guys continue to prove that DI'd instruments and electric drum sets are the way to go now. This sounds fantastic. If this was fed out to a big arena PA system audiences would be amazed at just how good it sounds.

BRAVO!!!! absolutely fantastic rendition!!!!

Outstanding! Kristin IS incredible - and those backing vocals are really good, too.

This is one of my favorite songs of all time you guys absolutely SLAYED it! Fantastic.

This was absolutely incredible. This is a difficult song to cover without either sounding too dissimilar to the original or else as if one is trying to imitate their vocalist. But Kristin was true to herself, and still killed it. I was blown away by how much your backing vocals sounded like theirs! Richie, that solo was pure magic. You NAILED the tone of the original. Lastly, the production was ALSO incredibly faithful to the original! That was a near-perfect mix. This brought back some great memories. You guys are legends, you are.

Holy crap! Simply the best version of this song. Full stop.

Wow!! Love that low tone!! Perfect song choice for that killer voice.

Dear Lord in heaven. That was wonderful. Goosebumps on the chorus. 🔥🔥🔥

Excellent as always guys! Tearing it up, and Kristin with those killer vocals. Awesome work!

One of my favorite albums of all time. This is about as perfect as it gets aside from seeing the boys live back then. Lead tone is spot on!

Are you kidding me??? You guys are completely giving me goosebumps like insane@! This is spot on nailing this beyond words. ❤️‍🔥🌟✨❤️‍🔥🌟✨❤️‍🔥 Fantastic vocals!!!

Just now seeing this, as an old school Queensryche fan, two thumbs up!

Killin it! Great job! Love her vocals and the playing was perfection!

I've always thought Queensryche was underrated. Empire is an epic album. Great job with the song.

Heyyy Richie and everyone! It’s so great to see a new video!! 🎶😄 I know of Queensryche but I am not familiar with this song. You all sound amazing!! This is a great cover!! The singer is amazing!’ 👍 love that guitar work

As a massive Queensryche fan, they nailed.

Wow. Amazing interpretation of that classic.

Very talented musicians.

WOW! THAT WAS AWESOME! You guys and lady absolutely 💯 SLAYED THIS SONG! Best cover I have ever heard and your voice is fucking FIRE!

Her voice is AMAZING!!!!!!!!!!!!!

That was incredible! Your female singer is outstanding!!!! 🤘🎸 Love ESP guitars btw that M2 is nice!!!

Wow! She nailed Geoff’s vocals! That bass intro is so iconic. What an incredible song!!

Wow excellent cover❤

I'm an old bassist. I play along with this video almost everyday. Freakin love it! I always want to play the album ending lol. Thx

This is the vocal this song needed!

That was unbelievable wow

One of the best Queensreich songs hands down. This band just killed it!! Great up tempo version and the vocals are sick sick SICK!! Love the unassuming dad bod musicians that can play the hell out of their instruments.. Thanks for the production everyone, absolutely spectacular!!! 👍❤️

I must confess… Being a Queensrÿche fan… Having grown up in this time… A Seattlite (BY BIRTH ONLY)… A Tacoman… Seeing that this cover was a woman in Geoffs place, I was concerned. I was wrong. This sounded great! Thank you for NOT changing the song itself.

Insanely great cover! Kristin killed the vocals. Happy Thanksgiving Richie and crew!

Absolutely blown away! Harmony is bang on and Kristin’s voice is awesome

This is really cool, great version, particularly the vocals. But it just goes to show how astonishing Geoff Tate was back then, because he made this song sound effortless!
