00:02:07 - QueensRike is an American heavy metal and progressive metal group created in 1980 in

00:02:12 - Seattle, Washington, pioneering progressive metal along with fates warning in Dream Theater.

00:02:23 - This song is part of the first EP, recorded by Queensrike simply titled Queensrike, and it opens it with unusual force, let's remember that it was from 1984.

00:02:38 - Queen of the Reich is the band's first single and one of their best known songs.

00:02:44 - This song served as the basis for the bands that time they were known as the mob, avoiding controversy with Nazi Germany.

00:02:56 - The guitar riffs aren't just good, they're unbelievably brilliant, the opening riff is a perfect example of the same.

00:03:09 - Wait, did I talk about Jeff Tate's vocal performance on this track?

00:03:14 - No?

00:03:16 - My fault.

00:03:17 - I must tell you about the best vocal performance Tate ever gave.

00:03:22 - No.

00:03:24 - One of the best vocal performances anyone has ever given.

00:03:30 - By the time the initial screen reached my ears, I remembered Bruce Dickinson.

00:03:36 - I mean, at that point I had only ever heard Bruce and Halford sustain such a high-pitched scream for such a long period of time, how the hell can Tate do it?

00:03:47 - But my surprise did not end there, the verses, the chorus, Tate nails everything like a veteran.

00:03:54 - And that too in his debut vocal performance.

00:04:01 - A high end of it is seemingly endless.

00:04:04 - He just carries the chorus along and along.

00:04:08 - You hope he falters, messes up a note, maybe at least sounds a little less divine.

00:04:29 - In those early days, very early 80s, we all had a mutual admiration for the music that was coming out of Europe and the UK. So we would spend our afternoons at the local record store, going through all the import records. And that's for me, that's personally how I got in kind of the dual guitar layering, because we were listening to Iron Maiden and Judas Priest and, you know, heavy bands like Sabbath and everything that was coming out there except Tigers of Pantang and it was for us and especially as a guitar player you know it was fun because everything that was happening at the time was like top 40 kit stuff and you know we weren't into that we wanted to get some guitars have fun play loud and write meaningful music we all had day jobs. I actually employed some of the guys and we would do the first EP at Triad Studios at Graveyard Hours and we recorded four or five songs and pressed a cassette and took it to a record store. The record store owner heard it and was blown away and they eventually became our manager and they shipped the cassette to this magazine in the UK called

00:06:09 - Karang and they have this armed and ready section and I'm still at my day job and all of a sudden we're getting phone calls we just were in the new Karang magazine, and then the local radio station was playing Queen of the Reich, and nobody would believe that it was us.

00:06:35 - The history of rock and roll in classic rock saltine podcasts.

00:06:49 - But then, who was the Queen of the Reich?

00:06:53 - It is not very clear from the story, but it could be said that one of the most beautiful women was Hilda Kruger, a mediocre German actress, sympathetic to the Reich, who was one of his main spies.

00:07:05 - She was born in 1912 in Cologne, a city in the west of the country, and at the age of just over 20 she managed to make a name for herself as an actress.

00:07:15 - Several state secretaries' ministers maintained friendships with Kruger.

00:07:20 - She also, according to her biographers, met businessmen and a long list of influential people, she obtained favors for access to strategic resources such as mercury.

00:07:31 - Thus she helped to generate contraband in favor of Germany.

00:07:35 - She also passed military information on the movements of the United States.

00:07:42 - A woman whose sense of patriotism was so intense that she even abandoned her Hollywood career to serve the Nazi party.

00:07:51 - Kruger, with the guidance of Goebbels, gradually achieved favors for the Third Reich.

00:07:57 - She got involved with high-ranking Mexican officials because from the United States they provided her with contacts.

00:08:04 - She reached the highest level, add something else.

00:08:13 - Still the Kruger could be the protagonist of this song.

00:08:20 - Forest cover about 30% of the planet, and the ecosystems they create play an essential role in supporting life on Earth.

00:08:29 - But deforestation is clearing Earth's forests on a massive scale, and at the current rate of destruction, the world's rainforests could completely disappear within 100 years.

00:08:41 - Why should we care about deforestation?

00:08:44 - Together, forestry and agriculture are responsible for 24% of greenhouse gas emissions, making deforestation a significant contributor to climate change.

00:08:57 - Deforestation impacts the amount of greenhouse gases in the atmosphere in two ways.

00:09:02 - First, when trees are felled, they release the carbon they are storing into the atmosphere.

00:09:08 - Second, trees play a critical role in absorbing the greenhouse gases that fuel global warming.

00:09:16 - Fewer forests mean larger amounts of greenhouse gases entering the atmosphere, and increase speed and severity of global warming.

00:09:25 - In addition to helping regulate the Earth's climate, forests provide habitats for over 80% of the plants and animals that live on land.

00:09:35 - The deforestation destroys these habitats, diminishing biodiversity.

00:09:40 - Some estimate that 4,000 to 6,000 rainforest species go extinct each year.

00:09:46 - This also affects the more than 2 billion people who rely on forests as sources of food and shelter.

00:09:53 - The biggest driver of deforestation is agriculture.

00:09:57 - Farmers chop down trees in order to plant crops like soybeans, palm trees and cocoa, to make room to raise livestock for beef.

00:10:06 - Logging operations, which provide the world's wood and paper products, also cut countless trees each year.

00:10:14 - Forests are also destroyed as a result of growing urban sprawl as land is developed for dwellings.

00:10:20 - The effects of deforestation are grave, but not irreversible.

00:10:25 - Efforts such as managing forest resources, eliminating clear cutting, and planting new trees to replace those removed are already being made to reduce deforestation's environmental impact on our planet.

00:10:39 - And while some plant and animal species are gone forever, combating deforestation can help prevent further loss of biodiversity.

00:10:48 - The planet Earth is our home.

00:10:51 - Let's not destroy it.

00:11:21 - Kill em all.

00:11:28 - Raise your fundraising.

00:11:51 - In the dead of night, she'll come and take you away

00:11:58 - Searing the glory right now and then

00:12:01 - Overcoming that she will fly away

00:12:06 - Overcoming that she will hide in the night

00:12:11 - As she did so, so come on through

00:12:14 - I'm coming right to the castle bed

00:12:19 - See it, there is no space

00:12:23 - It's the meaning of your presence to me

00:12:33 - It sounds like you're wearing

00:12:36 - Leave me all and quit all

00:12:43 - I quit all the work

00:12:45 - No, this is time for you

00:12:49 - I'm burning away, I won't cast in the shade

00:12:58 - I'll pick some of the fish and I'll take

00:13:03 - I'm running out of shade, all you've got tonight at the shore

00:13:10 - I'm left with nothing to see
