A doubleshot of progressive superawesomness

Yes my friends, it's time for some killer videos from Seattles one and only progressive metal superforce... QUEENSRYCHE

Long long ago, in a time where lead singer Geoff tate still had hair, and didn't play a saxaphone on stage (sounds more like he's tuning a Bengal tiger) there existed 5 dudes, that totally loved Rush and low budget science fiction ideas. I give you without further ado, QUEEN OF THE REICH

The video is by far the cheesiest thing i've yet posted on this website. It's a cross between mad max, starwars, and rough cinematography. This was probably Queensryche's best and heaviest direction. The video chronicles the journey of five freedom fighters, fighting their way from the injustice of an evil queen. She is the Queen of the Reich, the power of her evil crystal energizes her fortress of doom and allows her to create odd demon thingies that do her bidding. They in turn capture the freedom fighters and allow her to turn them into statues. Bitchin. From here lead singer Geoff Tate must go on a journey to save them, runs into a hot babe along the way, kills some stuff, babe turns into giant monster guy, and then he's forced to spar off with the Queen herself! ofcourse he just uses a mirror to deflect her poorly done laser eye back into her, making her...immobile? (Not killing her.. just freezing her in place.. WTF? I guess you can't slay hot babes in your videos) Somehow mastering the power of the crystal, he turns his other four freedom fighting band mates back from paper mache to human! The only thing left to do is unveil the Queen by taking off her mask, when they realize.... TO BE CONTINUED.

Really? They ended this like they were making more. I want to see what happens. They shouldn't have written any more shit past Empire. Instead of all that 90's garbage they should have come back and finished this saga.

They also did Nightrider - but it's just the dudes rockin' no story line. Just lots of tight fitting spandex and leather - and blinding lights shooting off the stage. Everything on those first two albums was killer. I don't know what made them spin off course after Mindcrime and Empire, but modern Queensryche can't even touch this stuff.
