Created in 1981 in a demo tape by "The Mob" (later known as Queensrÿche), "Queen of the Reich" is still considered one of the best Queensrÿche songs to date, even with the release of Operation: Mindcrime II. "Queen of the Reich" was first recorded on the Queensrÿche (aka Queensrÿche EP) along with "The Lady Wore Black", "Nightrider", and "Blinded" the band actually had a bit of trouble getting Geoff Tate (their current singer) to sing, since he already had a band as well. The song is also featured in Grand Theft Auto: Vice City Stories
