This is one of those very rare albums that could be released in 2023 and if you didn't KNOW it was written 35 years ago, you would never guess it! An absolute Metal masterpiece! 🤘
sadly untrue, they dont make anything like this anymore. I know its not from modern times because it has a guitar, a build-up, a good singer, reverb, etc
I caught the end of eyes of a stranger in salt lake ,pissed me off had to watch matalica and justice for all instead, I watched them the next time for promised land,great concert.
The problem is the band went through a mid life crisis and Geoff wasn't as sexy and wasn't doing it for them anymore so they left him for a younger hit number lol now they are dyeing their hair
I first saw Queensryche open for my other all time favorite band Metallica.Which was also my first time seeing them as well. I was blown away by Tate. Still one of the best Heavy Metal singers of all time and Operation Mindcrime is without a doubt one of their best Albums.
Wow!! I haven't listened to them in a while, almost forgot how good they sound. Pulling out all their CD's to re-listen. Saw then in Omaha May 1991 on their Building Empires Tour. They played the entire Mindcrime Album. So freaking Awesome!!!
This Band set the blueprints for all progmetal that came later. And this album is the "father" of Dream Theater's Scenes from a memory. Operation: Mindcrime is a masterpiece.
It s just amazing how they sound playing live. And i ll be forever grateful to my sister who told me they were coming to play Lisbon and she gave me the ticket. I saw many concerts but it was a huge surprise Queensryche coming to Portugal. And they played the whole Operation Mindcrime. One of the best concerts i saw. I was singing along from beggining till the end. No support band, just the good old Queensryche. Got all the momentos, pré, during and after, carved in my inner self
I never tire of listening to Queensryche's music, especially the early work, during the 1980s. I saw them open for KISS in 1985 and was blown away! Since then, they've always been one of my favorites. I had the honer of meeting Geoff Tate, Parker Lungren and Scott Rockenfield at the Hard Rock Cafe in Seattle in 2011, before all the shit hit the fan, and was impressed with what super cool people they all are. One of the best experiences of my life!
Among all the great songs on Operation Mindcrime this is probably my favourite, even ahead of Eyes of a Stranger. Love how the intensity in the singing grows and how the whole song is a slowly building crescendo to the final chorus and then it finishes off with those fantastic last 20 seconds.
Agreed. The plodding, grimy main riff really give off a mental image of Nikki out on the streets determined, but struggling. This one and Waiting for 22 are my favorites.
THAT Voice, THOSE Eyes... THOSE Leather Pants~~ I am Salivating, Dear God.what a GORGEOUS Man Geoff is THEN and NOW., and BEYOND TALENTED.THIS was QUEENSRYCHE and Always will be.
Sadly this band in all forms is lost and always will without Chris Degarmo. Fortunately there are lots of video for new fans of the classic Queensryche to behold.
I saw them live during this fantastic album and they opened up for metallica during there justice for all tour (: Both bands were phenomonal (: God I miss that concert its was truly an amazing event back then (:
Wonderful Geoff💕all songs are greats, but for me, I’m like ‼️the « Thin line » epic, voice big inning style Iggy Pop, and Chang after👋a pleasure, wouah‼️🙏So beautiful song, KISS Geoff, the bester💋👍
At there, I had heard another voice in heaven that had said: Leave her my people so that you will not share to her sins and so that you will not receive her plagues and since they have been piled up to as high as heaven, God has remembered her sins and thus share back to her what she had shared and share double back to her about what she had shared. Pour her a double portion using her own cup. Share to her as much torment and grief about the glory and luxury that she had shared about herself because in her heart she boasts: I sit throned as queen and I am not a widow and I will never mourn.
awsome band live, i watched them in early 90's with george lynch's band lynch mob supporting them at the then named hammersmith odeon. probably one of the best live acts around at the time.
