"I am Solaire of Astora, an adherent to the Lord of Sunlight. Now that I am Undead, I have come to this great land, the birthplace of Lord Gwyn, to seek my very own sun!"
judging by this song, the new album is going to be a perfect, intertwined end product of all 5 previous albums. the raw, robotic grooves from their Self-Titled the melodic, yet abstract orchestration from Rated R the sheer heaviness and huge sounds from Songs For The Deaf the perfectly structured and timelessly catchy riffs from Lullabies To Paralyze and of course the dark and twisted, disturbing beauty from Era Vulgaris . QOTSA has always been and will always be my favourite band . so excited

Around December, there is the season of Yule. As we pagans called the Winter Solstice. Long before Christmas came in, at this time of year in December, this season is the time of family and giving, but also this was also known as The Rebirth of the Sun. All the more reason to celebrate, especially if you're from the blistering cold north. The sun is precious indeed. Have a blessed Solstice everyone. ☀️
not only am i QOTSA's greatest fan. but I'm also the proudest .their music has flawlessly stood the test of time .not only did their unique, huge sound last, but it somehow progressively topped itself and discovered new musical depths unparalleled by any other band in the history of music over time. Queens Of The Stone Age remains the only band that gives me goosebumps everyday, no matter how many times I've heard a song. long live queens of the fucking stone age. - cheers, love from Canada .
Can't we all just overlook the religious implications of this song in time to appreciate it? Really. This is a good song played by a quality band, and shouldn't have its comments section spammed up with arguements about religion.
@@mal2ksc i agree there's nothing wrong with worshipping the sun. the other deities that r worshipped don't clearly exist because history & fairy tales get so intertwined & facts get erased because of corrupt ppl dealing with sensitive information that they don't want getting out or information/"facts" being added that you never really know what deities could have been real & exaggerated to create a sense of lordship, because if you don't in some form establish that there's something/some1 you have to look to for means/security (emotional or physical/financial or spiritual) that the order of control gets fucked up & ppl start to think "hey fuck the government/fuck god/fuck authority" type shit, it only gets promoted when it's beneficial though, create chaos to establish order. the government tries to distance themselves from a god but tries to sit in the position of a god. they're A LOT better at doing that then religions though because of $& resources & convincing ppl that we NEED them in order to live. "give me convenience or give me death" that's most ppl's mindsets so they get away with it & it gets shoveled out & gassed up by SOO many ppl in different ways, ways you wouldn't even realize, hustle culture. ppl love hustle culture tho, we're programmed to. i'm tired as fuck of it.
+Carl Cruton what, in god's name, is going on? I am also listening to this song while taking a shit. Not that this is indicative of my opinion of the song's quality, mind you. I actually really like it.
It depends on which day new stock is released in each country. That's why new albums always come out on the same day of the week. It comes out 31st May here in Australia (Friday is our release day).
Great song. I am a Christian. This is my sons account. I love rock music. I worship only the a God of Abraham. Doesn't mean I cannot enjoy good music. I don't even listen to the words. The music is amazing! I'm quite new to Queens of the stone age but am really enjoying their material . Watched their set at the Reading Festival. Brilliant.
Well hang on just a minute there pilgrim.........I think we all know that I AM QOTSA GREATEST FAN! Been to see them 13 times and I touch myself over Homme every night. You don't want none o this!
Imagine Dragons, not a bad band. There will always be conflicting tastes, but who are you to say one is better than the other? And labels are useless at the best of times. I wouldn't call this band rock, for a start. In fact, in this late night comment i can't think of what i would call them, but if you're going to start labeling every music you find, and then compare it to other things labeled as such, when are you going to have time to stop and hear the music? :P
RealityCheck6T9 And yet here I sit, consuming all your precious oxygen. Oh, wait, what do you mean the world does not revolve to your whims? Oh, right, you are not actually the centre of the universe, nor controller or judger of all beings within it. Sorry to disappoint.
It takes a whole lot more faith to believe 'nothing turned into something' on it's own since even thermal dynamics states energy simply can't come from nothing. I wish people realized the enormous deception being played upon them by some very evil, sick elitists who have controlled everything for centuries. Pull on a string and the whole veil comes to pieces. For example, science as we call it today (really a cult more than anything) can't explain open clam fossils found on the top of Mt. Everest or human artifacts found in coal. It's labeled 'anomalies' since it destroys their precious evolution theory. (Which even discoveries in microbiology state evolution is impossible.)
@@tomservo5347 I don't think that belief in a higher power is flawed. I think it's completely fine. The problem is that Christians hop up and see all of the amazingness on Earth and say "Christian God!!"
It's sad because imagine dragons won with there "radioactive" song I don't think it's actually rock "My god is the sun" is true rock from queens of the stone age.
Areli Torres Lol, calling them rock would be like calling Britney spears Death metal. Theyre not rock. The defenition of "rock" has been fucked over the years. This right here is true rock
You sure it's not a J-Bass? I'm asking cos I'm actually curious. A lot of people who cover this album use a J-Bass with some light overdrive and the Tone dialed down.
Like Clockwork is an incredible album. Josh, you've created absolutely magical stuff. I just can't get enough of it. Once Dave Grohl said: Qotsa are the best rock n roll band around. Oh my god, he was fucking right!!!
Am I the only one who thinks that the part when the song pace slows down after the first chorus is so fucking brilliant?
I read your comment right when it slowed down
Karlo Oto Lekić ma briljantno je sveee
Karlo Oto Lekić it's actually the same tempo
@@jmccann482 clearly you have no rhythm, it did slow down a microbeat.
@@pll625 oh God P! LL. You got me real good just now. Thanks for bringing me down a notch.
As long as the Queens and Josh exist we have no fear of real rock dying.
yep
"I am Solaire of Astora, an adherent to the Lord of Sunlight.
Now that I am Undead, I have come to this great land, the birthplace of Lord Gwyn, to seek my very own sun!"
Should have fucking won, but the Grammy's is notorious for being only half-aware of good music.
I wasn't impressed at first. Yet, now I can't stop listening to it.
this album got me through hell and back
Me as well. This is actually how I discovered QOTSA
I just love love love how at one point the song begins to melt
LOVED hearing this at the Grammys tonight! It is badass.
too bad it got cut. Reznor is pissed
Brady Austin
As he should be
judging by this song, the new album is going to be a perfect, intertwined end product of all 5 previous albums.

and of course the dark and twisted, disturbing beauty from Era Vulgaris .
QOTSA has always been and will always be my favourite band .
so excited
ok bateman
Well, you were right. Cheers from the future!
Glad you were right, fam
Me too dude
The concerned population will be calmed and inspired by your judgment.
THUMBS UP FOR LYRICS:
Far beyond the desert road
Where everything hangs off
So good the empty space
And to erase the given...
Healing, like fire from above
Kneeling, my god is the sun
Healing, with fire from above
Kneeling, my god is the sun
I don’t know what time it was
I don't wear a watch
So good to be an ant who crawls
Atop a spinning rock
Healing, like fire from above
Kneeling, my god is the sun
Healing, with fire from above
Kneeling, my god is the sun
This song is so banger! The Queens of Stone Age is a LEGENDARY band, their songs are so good! My favorite song is "Go With The Flow"!
PRAISE THE SUN!
If only I could be so grossly incandescent!
NNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNAA

Nice picture. I love this game
QoTSA easily in the top 5 modern rock bands out there right now. I think were in for there best album yet.
Yeah make sure Greta is in there too! Not to discredit this amazing band 😂
Like seriously these guys kick ass
the transition at 1:26-1:37 is so simple yet perfect

No.
What's wrong with worshipping the sun anyhow? We'd all die without it, and it clearly exists. That's more than I can say for other deities.

Real ones say "Bruh"
I can see Superman liking this song.
"Heal Them!Strike fire from above!"
"Heal Them!My god is the sun"
Where it begins to wind down at 3:09 is so classic QOTSA I just love it!
BEST BAND IN THE WORLD
What a beautiful song
PRAISE THE SUN
Praise the sun!
This song is just so fucking perfect.
I thought you said fucking stupid and I was about to downvote... then I saw the perfect and I'm like...

The mandatory radio-friendly track to pay the bills. The rest of the album sounds awesome so far...

@@themanwiththebeard4632 hurB
The whole song is great, but I think that intro is absolutely awesome.
bruh moment
Fifteen years ago or so ,when i bought their first CD I knew they were headed for greatness and stardom.
best music for riding a Harley at 60 mph while taking shots of grey goose vodka and pumping my 12 Guage shotgun with my beard
Hell yeah
soak in that vitamin D every day
Bastet smiles upon us today.
Costa Rica loves you.....Every single song of this album y great..

Praise The Sun~!

So good to be an ant crawlin on a spinning rock... healing like fire from a gun. Fornicate me, thats the best lyrics i've heard in a long time.
This song was released on my b-day
Can't get enough of this song! Can't get enough of the Queens!
THIS IS BEAUTIFUL. CAN'T WAIT TO GET THIS RECORD!!!
"This is fucking awesome."
- The Captain
One of their best songs ever
...but you don't PRAY to the Sun, that would be rude. You pray to Joe Pesci.
***** Pray how?
+Tomi Hakala I mean, he is a funny guy... Not like a clown, just like, you know, in the way he tells the story...
+silent passenger haha was that a George Carlin joke
+Damian Hakala Killer Carlin !
bro u need to praise the sun, the sun is a wouldrous body like a magnificent father
bruh
Queens is the future of recording for all of us. ...Like Clockwork is a gift to the world.
Love this song!!!!! Really gets me pumped up! !!!
Bands like these guys and like the foo fighters are the ones keeping rock alive. Long live the sun.
As a pagan, I will definitely listen to this on Litha the summer solstice!
💚
I heard this song when I was 16, now I'm 17
Same here jajaja
Now you're 18.
+DanielCh9393 now he's 30
Man how time flies
quite possible
So completely obsessed with this album.
This album is amazing. 10/10 QOTS. Praise QOTS!
i got uh- redirected here through a link from a Rushia clip
me aswell😭😭
Same percussion rhythm is on "Sherbert", QOTSA first demo. That is amazing. Josh does not forget, and links it all together.
Happy Midsummer Solstice godless heathens :D
My God is the Sun? As a Spaniard, I concur.
The riff in this is amazing!
Great song. I am a Christian. This is my sons account. I love rock music. I worship only the a God of Abraham. Doesn't mean I cannot enjoy good music. I don't even listen to the words.

What a shame you're religious

What a shame you're a douchebag.

CoconutSundae good one sun bro...
Raise your Goblet of Rock in Salute to the QUEENS. LONG LIVE THE QOTSA!!!!!!!
Does anyone goes outside and praise the sun , and all of sudden their eye burn ? I can't be the only dark soul fan that hasn't have their eye burnt.

That was single-handedly the most amazingly epic dump I've ever taken.
Explain single-handedly? or do i really wanna know..
Well hang on just a minute there pilgrim.........I think we all know that I AM QOTSA GREATEST FAN! Been to see them 13 times and I touch myself over Homme every night. You don't want none o this!
buruhh
I don't know what time it was.
I should wear a watch.
Those two statements sum up a lot of my young life.
*"Godless, heethah-ah-ah-ah-ah-ahns..."*
That part has the effect of making one jizz on oneself, ironically.
Best part
Apparently Imagine Dragons qualifies as better rock than this. Sad times.
Imagine Dragons, not a bad band.
There will always be conflicting tastes, but who are you to say one is better than the other?
And labels are useless at the best of times. I wouldn't call this band rock, for a start.

Rosehawka hears a legitimate observation about himself which others might well agree with, makes it about the speaker being entitled
Still one of the best tracks.
I'm so glad I am not a mindless Christian, rejecting everything beautiful in life for the promise of an "afterlife" that simply doesn't exist.

Only artists Boneface respond the ansewer

one of the few.. putting out amazing albums!!
the intro could be performed by Franz Ferdinand, same style
Never knew that the Archduke of Austria was a musician.
Aris Theocharis check the Britpop band named after Franz Ferdinand, e. g., its songs "This Fire" or "Take me out" and compare
trololollololololololol
callogan24 👍 exactly the melody

Well it is the truth,the sun and the earth anyway,the ancients knew this,but we need an idol in our image to worship apparently.
