QOTSA is so unique. There is nobody that sounds like them, and they sound like nothing else. It's slinky, sexy, robot rock. I can't get enough of it.
Them Crooked Voltures, Clutch, Woldmother, Red Fang, The Raconteurs, The Dead Weather
@@AlexSuslin including one of Josh's other bands doesn't count, and those other bands are similar in that they're rock bands with some of the same inspirations as QOTSA, but they don't SOUND like QOTSA
It was called soft metal, now sleazy metal. 😊
@@grosey11 stoner rock
I think some things from De Staat reminds me of QOTSA. They have a similar edginess to their sound, with some weird arrangements mixing rasp and mellow vocals, but they each have their unique vibe (QOTSA is more serious and traditional, while De Staat is more playful and weird). Albums like I_CON, Machinery and O.
I think this will be the album of the summer for me. On repeat... ready to make new memories.
Same. I’ve listened to it no fewer than 30 times in the past 24 hours😂
Eery time they release an album it ties up my years into songs that I weirdly relate to all the way, soundtracks of my life. QOTSA for life.
@@Hrafnaflokii same for me. they’re brilliant and their timing is impeccable lol
@@Hrafnaflokii same same here! Like clockwork was a very sad and weird and crazy time in my life and that cd didn’t come out of my truck player from when I bought it to when I finally sold it and haha yeah it’s still in there and the fact that the cd player was broken and it wouldn’t eject didn’t have anything to do with it bc I had an aux port. So I listened to it everyday probably till villains came out.
@@doggmansnapperdude3405 Same. The moment it came out I broke up with the love of my life and that album really helped me cope. After the first listen I knew it was an instant classic and still is one, if not my favorite album of all time.
...Like Clockwork is a masterpiece. Absolutely brilliant and massively underrated.
I played that record on loop for months...it's ace!!🤩
My absolute favourite album, all genre combine.
I totally agree. Overall I prefer the earlier albums but Like Clockwork is in a league of its own. I Appear Missing is one of the best songs anyone has ever written. Period.
Yeah I think it's their best album.
@@haitchkay The Vampyre of Time and Memory is a timeless masterpiece, my favorite QOTSA song of ALL time.
Agreed. They are in a class by themselves. I need another Them Crooked Vultures album with Homme, Grohl, and John Paul Jones.
Yes please!
Them Crooked Vultures: Best super band ever!
Totally love the VULTURES !
And Alain Johannes!
Never gonna happen
Troy Van Leeuwen is insanely good as well. He deserves more recognition!
Agreed!!!!
I've got an OG copy of rated X signed by Troy and Nick Oliveri 😊
"Can I get it more like a frogs butthole.."
He creates so much space and texture with vintage style sounds, such a brilliant ear for arrangements.
He played with Jane's Addiction last time. He was so good.
Josh always takes it sleazy. Love it.
Takes what sleazy?
I love all of their albums so much, from the gritty desert rock days of the early '00s to the more alt rock avant garde recent material
Josh's 70s-tinged vocals in the chorus are some of the best he's ever done. He's really come a long way as a singer and it's awesome to hear. Awesome analysis as always, Justin!
Greatest voice of the past 20 years
The 'Baby don't care for me' vocal harmonies sound straight out of older solo Todd Rundgren tunes. Terrific!
Steely Dan
When I hear QOTSA, I sometimes think of Talking Heads🤷♂️ and that's a good thing
@@martinheath5947 Dude that is exactly what I said when I first heard it. Reeling in the Years solo vibes, for sure.
Thought of Todd right away when I heard the harmonies
Almost sounds like the Raspberries.
I met them 17 years ago in Dublin. My friends and I waited outside the venue and they stood and talked to us for a good half an hour. They were so nice. Asked us questions like 'is there a song that we didn't play tonight that we should play at the next show?' Obviously it doesn't matter but made us feel involved in a way😊
What's really amazing about these guys is that they sound like this live, too. Very tight performers. Touring the US for the next couple months, go see them while you can!
We need Pervertigo
Josh was one of the stand outs of the TH tribute for me. Phenomenal live voice!
@@Susan-jt6ms was an incredible atmosphere at Wembley that I’m pretty sure has ruined all future gigs
He was great!
Yes, "he has an arsenal of affectations he can pull out and use", according to Justin, who has his own arsenal of articulation with vocabulary and expressions that keep us listening to him.
You're my new living breathing Rolling Stone magazine.
Almost anything Homme touches is gold! Looking forward to the new QOSTSA!
Justin, is it within the realm to have Josh on JHRA for a chat? I’d watch it a hundred times!
This single is Outstanding, can’t wait for the new album!! 🤘🤘🤘
Yes! I would watch as well
Me too
Could ask him why he smacked his wife around for years? I am so gutted after reading the reports from the court case. Why do so many heroes turn out to be awful people.
@@davidcjupp Booooo... Totally unsubstantiated. Why did he end up getting full custody while her slimy boyfriend was accused of all sorts of shenanigans?
Thank you for this review. I've been a massive QOTSA fan since I first heard No One Knows. None of my friends understood why I liked them so much, and would take jabs about the band whenever they could to get under my skin.
They dare to go for a different sound, and they're extremely good at what they do.
Incidentally, it's that same reason I got into The Darkness when I first heard you. I appreciate the hell out of a unique sound.
And as for Homme; the fact that so many big musicians have lined up to work with him just backs up the fact that he's got a massive talent that resonates with real musicians.
Absolutely stoked for this album. QotSA have one of my favorite songs of all called Fortress.
It's a flawless masterpiece...and also Villains of Circumstance of the same album
Fortress is the best on Villains, I'll never forget hearing that song for the first time the day Villains released. Easily in my top 5 favorite QOTSA tracks
I have nothing but pure excitement for this album. It can't come soon enough
What I love about Josh’s voice is this bowielike quality! He got a wide vocal range. The Queens of the stone got a sound second to none.
Btw the riff at the beginning of the song reminds me of Duran Durans girls on film but with a thick gritty sound 🤘
Dude great call. Wasn't familiar with that Duran Duran song but just listened and you're spot on.
@@jakebaldwin7172 one of the best duran duran songs ever. Glad you liked it 😎
The style of them and the style of qotsa are totally different, but this riff got me like: that’s familiar 😊
Would be awesome if Josh would make a version of girls on film (watch him singing Let’s dance by David Bowie! Josh Homme is an awesome mf and i love his craft)
QOTSA are a brilliant band. I can't describe their sound... dirty, sleazy, intelligent, powerful, moreish, southern fried rock with just a sprinkling of hallucinogen garnish is the best I can do 😄
I was with you until "southern." Ain't no southern in there.
Great job buddy! 👍👽💀
You should be a writer bro! That was a beautiful description of my favorite band in the world! Cheers 🍻 from Denver, Colorado 🍄🍄🍄
@@fl0nk11 wtf are you talking about? Ever listen to lullabies to to paralyze with Billy Gibbons from ZZ Top? Dude is on point with his description
@@keithhavens6566 ZZ Top are blues rock, not southern rock.
It's got that dirty rough sound while being beautifully put together. I love them. So glad they're still around when there's so little good rock out there currently.
This new album is absolutely spectacular. Songs for the Deaf and Rated R are my two favorites, but this one is growing on me and is really amazing. They are one of a kind.
Excellent analysis as ever for Justin a true character and great singer and guitarist in his own right. Very entertaining
Of all the new albums released this year, this one is by far my favorite. I can't stop listening to it.
Yes! I love Josh’s little vocal touches that are so different, like when he sang ferocious and the way he sang “then my fever broke”. My favorite band for sure. Love you and your analysis as always. ❤
Definietly some heavie Bowie vibes on this one, great rock music is still being made if you know where to look! 🤟
He's had quite a bit of bowie vibes lately. Domesticated animals was like Josh and bowie had a song child
@@ajwilson798 definitely hear that, love the production on these tracks
@@quickmysteryband and continuing to evolve over the last 25 years but still keeping their tight, driving sound. Brilliant. Possibly the most underrated band ever.
Agreed on both counts. Very Bowie-ish vibes in this song, which is never, ever a bad thing.
And yes, there's still tons of great rock music being made. Some of the modern bands out there today will go down with the greats. Rock is sadly not the biggest mainstream music genre at the moment, but it still absolutely exists.
Silverchair had a song called emotion sickness in the early 2000s
Was hoping someone would mention this. Still a great song too, I listen to it often (along with the rest of Neon Ballroom and Diorama).
Such a great song.
Such a great band.
Great song.
Yup, that was my first response. Love that song.
Can't believe I am just discovering this RUclips channel. Well done Justin Hawkins and most definitely well done Queens of the Stone Age.
I thought this song was mid at first, but I've been listening to it a lot today, and it's really growing on me. I really like the carefree attitude it has
I suspect this is a grower of a song, which is often the better kind
That seems to be the way that Josh constructs songs…. Somehow it makes the re-listen value so much stronger. He also writes songs that will always get respect from musicians, while being so damn catchy.
I also think that the music video added so much more color and meaning to the song. I think it’s the best shit they’ve put out in a long time…. I’m super hyped for the album
I get this so often from Qotsa!
In the beginning I often think it’s some kind of crazy? But listen to it and you will get addicted and experience all the layers.
That’s like every lead off single from them. The songs are so dense with ideas and parts and nuance it takes a few listens. Every time the put out a new album they become my favorite band all over again. And dear god are they good live.
The only thing that lets it down for me is the bridge just kind of runs out of steam before returning to the chorus.
One of my favorite song writers talking about one of my others. Love to see it.
I have been waiting for a new QOTSA song for a long time! Glad you got to this so soon! Love this song so much and I am so excited for an album in only a month.
This is another ray of hope that rock ‘n’ roll is alive and well.
Too bad its all musicians over 50 who do it best, imo. Old guys bring it 🤷♂️🤘🏻
@@revwillyg6450 To be fair Justin and Dan aren’t 50 yet. Still kickin’ arse!
QOTSA are one of the greatest bands to see live and Josh's voice is extraordinarily charming 😍
Brilliant review!⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
I'd also like to mention that Justin looks specially fine today (don't know if it's the light, the setting, the background, his hair or his "death metal lover" t-shirt)
Really Justin, you look gorgeous! 🫶🏻🥰
@@Rocksarum agree! He looks cute today. Justin looks cute always which leave his curls free, like the winn!
Jon Theodore just fits so well with his sound, style, power and finesse. Perfecting personified.
Great review Justin. What an age we live in haveing brilliant musicians like yourself sharing your thoughts on music. Looking forward to some new music from you sir. RrrrrocknRrrrrroll'em. 🤘
Every time Qotsa releases a new song, I have a new favorite. They’re my favorite band ever.
Love it! I've not always been a big QOTSA fan, but damn that drum sound, well, all of it, really! Banging!
Lol at Pervertigo...imagine the dance moves to that one...😂
I dont love all the queens albums but as musicians any member of this band is insane. Such classy and cool looking band.
A great comeback! The main riff reminds me of Duran Duran's Girls on Film.
Love that song. And video!
I heard that too.
When I see JHRA I click, I’m a simple man
I do the same, so i'm a simple woman 😂
Ditto
100% 👍
Whoomp! There it is!
Agreed!
Josh and the band are just so very good at what they do. Very eager to hear this album.
Just to add, listen to the bass part played outstandingly by Michael Shuman (Mikey Shoes), just left me as a bass player gobsmacked and I've been trying to work it out all day!!
He's a quality low end slinger. That's for sure. I love his melodic lines and how he usually plays an octave higher than most. I prefer that style. Like Trevor Boulder in Bowie. I tend to play that way because it sits with the guitars better, giving a old skool vibe.
@@haitchkay Indeed, and then he can turn around with Mini Mansions and become their fantastic guitarist and co-lead singer!! The kid's got some amazing musical chops!!
It's exciting to me to hear him as a "main character" in this song. Queens has a sound that, in the more recent albums, is so sonically layered and full that the bass often takes a backseat. He gets to show off a bit here, and I love it.
@@fl0nk11 Absolutely! He is on full display in "Emotion Sickness" and I hope that spotlight continues in the upcoming album. That said, he has always weaved some really detailed and complex basslines in the past couple of albums especially. Micheal's voice is getting more notoriety as well as he has a range similar to Josh's. Queens is always a fantastic experience and live they are truly unreal, I have not seen another band so musically proficient except for maybe King Crimson. Troy and Dean are superstar musicians in their own right and both multi-instrumental, in fact with the exception of Jon Theodore (who is an Amazing drummer) all the members of the Queens are multi instrumentalists which always bodes well for us as consumers of their music. I am eagerly awaiting my copy of In Times New Roman which along with the Foo's and Garbage's new works will be dominating my playlists along with a few lesser known but still amazing bands like Black Honey, Sweat and never to be left behind, ever,...The Hives, all of whom also released new music this year!
Not enough words to describe how good this band is
Yes, beautiful. WOW, I hear Bowie and Byrne as well. Great voice, great tune. Thank you❤
Oh god now I absolutely want a song called ‘Pervertigo’
Qotsa is the best of our time.
na it's viagra boys
@@professorpancakes6545 oh shit, thanks prof.
@@professorpancakes6545One year later, my response to you, the true in rock music is nobody come close to Joshua Michael Homme III and the QOTSA, they are the shit. Bad hass band and musicians...
Josh was recently noticed at the Hives concert (your previous video was about their new song). It is amazing that without long winded announcements we will be listening to Queen's and the Hives albums this summer.
the slide guitar is just so good, troy van leeuwen and Josh Homme in the same band...what can you say?
Mark Lanegan.
What other band do you like Troy in?
@@carwash9333I think Troy was touring with Jane’s Addiction last year when Dave Navarro had long covid. Troy was in A Perfect Circle for a while back in the day too.
@@carwash9333 I like the first Gone is Gone album. Not a APC fan at all anymore, liked them at the time. His best work, by far, imo is with QOTSA
Technically he didn’t record on it but he made some cool leads live as a touring member,
But Failure’s Fantastic Planet is a kickass album.
Have always loved The Darkness since day 1. God knows why they aren't as popular as in 2003. A genuine British rock band with a lead singer that can sing like a trooper. 👍🏻
Will continue to watch the mighty 'D" every time they do a UK tour......although Sheffield has missed the last few gigs 😂.
This song is a cornucopia of the best of 70s and druggy music, it reminds me of falling in love with drugs. I hear The Kinks, Queen, T Rex, Led Zep, Early Steely Dan (1st 3 records) in the vocals, the short reverb on the vocal reminds me of the John Wetton sound on Red by King Crimson.
From the first time I listened to this I wondered what your reaction would be to the word "Ferocious". And you did not disapoint. Sick song. Love your videos. Keep it up.
Great stuff and another classy watch 👍
Love it so much!! Huge Queens fan here. No matter what song they make it fits well with older songs they have made ❤
Cheers brother."Wow. Great song, very refreshing. Josh's quirky phrasing and unique melodies are what makes this band great and a joy to listen to 🙂
I wouldn't mind a weekly 15-20 min "new rock releases commentary/analysis by JH!
Amazing reaction as always - I’ve been playing this all day it’s fantastic - can’t wait to see them in Cardiff in June - hair looking fantastic today Justin! ❤
Agreed..It's a Brilliant piece of work for sure..I like the bit where they're mimicking old 70s/80s Europop Dance Beats with the Octave bouncing thing in their riffs.
They've been unique, authentic, wild, sexy and hilarious continuously for over 20 years. In their own league. Never disappoint musically and sonically....can't WAIT for the new Album and this Chuuune is on repeat since it dropped.
Lucky enough to get a ticket to see Queens at the Piece Hall in Halifax at the end of June. This song has got me extra pumped!
Just realized this is the lead singer from The Darkness... Thought he looked familiar... Cool guy like his music.... Qotsa are great too definitely excited for the new album I think it's gonna be even better than villains
My new fave song, the guitar in the chorus is so catchy I keep having it repeat in my head. Just well done, Rock is not dead !! Their Glastonbury set was awesome, they keep getting better. I have seen them 3 times here in New Zealand. I will never forget when they played before The Smashing Pumpkins and left them for dead, hard act to follow.
Holy sh….. incredible! Great hook, melody you name it. One of the best new songs I’ve heard in a long time.
this is the episode I was crossing my fingers would happen. Justin reacting to one of my other favorite bands :)
I was so happy to hear this yesterday, QOTSA are one of a kind.
Been a QOTSA fan since 2000. Josh is a humble rock god that always brings top shelf stuff in everything he touches! My favoriet band for good reason. THis album is going to be sick I can't stop listening to this song!
Similar. Sadly Josh is an absolute wrongun who smacked around his wife repeatedly. I find it hard listening to his music now knowing what sort of a dude he is. Both him and Brody are troubled people but some of the testimony and texts from the court cases are just depressing. Josh is not someone to be respected.
@@davidcjupp Really?!? Then why was he awarded custody of all his kids, and she can only see the youngest, and only under court supervision?!?
It was proven that not only were the accusations against him bogus, but that Brody Dalle's new bf was making accusations against him in her name and then forging her signature on the papers, as well as forcing their youngest to go to court without either of the parents present in order to file paperwork against him - which is incredibly shady.
On top of that, Josh's restraining orders against both Brody and this boyfriend were granted, while the restraining order requests _against him_ were all tossed out! Neither she or her bf are allowed near him or his family, or 2 of the 3 kids... of course, you won't hear about this from 99% of the media outlets that spread the accusations.
Friends of the former couple also said that she often joked, proudly, about her tendency to be physically abusive towards him, regularly.
@@Jimmy1982Playlists I mean everything you've listed has been reported by all the media here in the UK. They are both very troubled people. I find it amusing that people are so attached to QOTSA's music that they dismiss his wife's claims of domestic violence even when they are both self confessed recovering addicts. Ultimately none of us know what happened if he's now denying it.
I'm guessing the behaviour by Brody's new dude in falsifying the restraint claims has prompted Josh to get sole custody. Can't find this proof you're talking about that the domestic violence claims made in court by Brody being false, just Josh denying it.He is a self confessed recovering addict as is she. Claims of domestic violence are believable I'm afraid. I feel sorry for the children. It's no way to parent.
@@Jimmy1982Playlists One thing that does make me question Brody's version of events is Garbage touring with QOTSA. Shirley is a no nonsense feminist and really good mates with Brody. There is no way she would take the money and tour with Josh if the domestic abuse claims were true so that's a decent counterpoint. I am just inclined to believe the wife of an alcoholic with a history of violence when the family setup is so toxic. Hopefully they can sort everything out and return to a normal functioning life.
I’m so pleased they’re so consistent I don’t mind waiting 6 years a time when it sounds so beautiful
Justin Fucking Hawkins Rides Againnnnnnn!!!! 🎶🎶🎶🕺🏽
ex(fucking)actly🎵🎵🎵🎸🎸🎸
I'm working on inspiration for 'Pervertigo', but I keep passing out. The struggle is real.
Love what you said there "one foot in the chaos and one foot in control". That almost summarises QotSA. I love the utter genius of this band and I finally have my ducks in a row to see them at Cardiff. Love your work too Justin! Here & on stage - get back where you belong ❤
They’re so good! This song is full of luxury and sport features. Nicely equipped .
Josh absolutely slays on the acoustic version of ‘A Long Slow Goodbye’ as well. Amazing catalog …….
Drums are so good, on all of their albums. Their guitars always sound like nothing else.
John Theodore is a God. On the drums, I mean. Also he's a very smart, nice, kind, funny dude who also happens to be really, really, really good-looking. Not like that matters 😂
Love this song!! I can't remember what year it was but I saw QOTSA in the Button Factory in Dublin years ago with a load of Kyuss fans, was the biggest band I'd seen at that time and was brilliant, such a small venue too!!
So much space in this song! Really refreshing.
A fade out! Wow! Proper vintage
Pervertigo! 🤣🤣🤣love it!🫡
Joshes a genius✌🏻✌🏻
I feel that all their albums stand alone in one way or another and hands down one of the best live rock bands in the world currently.
Interlaken Switzerland..! stayed there on a school trip when I was 16. Remember a hotel at the end of the main street has a downstairs venue for bands. Best holiday of my life at 16 ( 1971 ). Discovered Furstenburg beer. Such memories. Small world really.,....like the track too, going to listen to it in full, thanks for great memories and a top start to the weekend.
Heard it, love it. Like anything QotSA really. Fresh, the perfect combo between ‘I sat by the ocean’ and ‘Smooth Sailing’. That bend-riff tho…
They do that cool thing, actually leaving out a lot with all the stops. Only one other band I know that does it this well: De Staat.
Love qotsa, glad Josh is doing better
Such a good song! Cants stop listening to it which hasnt happened to me with a new song in a long time
I love the new song. I love the bass in the song and especially in the parts where Josh doesn't sing. Gotta give some credit to Michael for the beautiful plays (also loved the bass parts live and on Villains). You also need to listen this song with good headphones, that makes it ten times better
Really love the personal message in this, letting go of past loves. Still, without being a tacky love song
*In Times New Roman* is an album that is LONG overdue.
I have been famished for new music.
This is great. I love QOTSA. I especially love how Josh Homme ues chorus harmonies and kinda soul sounds.I agree, no other band sounds like them. They're amazing! Fantastic live too!
JUSTIN, "Edgemanship at the Abyss" is probably your most profound and poetic assessment of a band, and QOTSA nonetheless. Thanks for all the joy you bring to music.
Wouldn't surprise me if that fade out was a set-up for a fade in for the next song, or some other such tomfoolery.
Cannnot wait to hear this album.
A room full of books, a baby-faced Justin and Queens of the Stone Age! I was having quite a horrible day and everything in this video just improved it significantly! Thank you for the ray of sunshine 🌞
Mine’s still horrible, but it is what it is.
@@SuziQ. I'm sending positive vibes your way! 😊 Hope it gets better soon
@@jenniferfischer2633 ,
Thank you. One of my dogs has to go back to the emergency vet. She needs the good vibes. 💙
@@SuziQ. 🐶❤️🩹
@@SuziQ. 😟 oh no! I hope she gets better soon.
The bass tone is top notch!
Off to see them in my home town Halifax on 20th June. Kid you not I can not wait! Absolutely love QOTSA
haha i got the fattest smile when you were like woah theres a fade out lol!!!!! im gonna listen all day too JHRA❤🎉
Love QOTSA. Badass band with badass songs
Really great track. Spontaneous but grounded. Great tone and catchy as Hell. Looking forward to Times Roman.
Gotta agree J it’s brilliant and got me on the first listen … they never fail to inspire me, this tune has made my year, and it’s not been a great one so far … so I needed it … we all needed it !
Cheers
Good to see you again Justin, I agree, this is the best single they've had in years
I never thought I'd see Dandy Warhols and QOTSA comparison...but I get it!
Brilliant song.
Thank you sir; I had heard this yesterday, but wasn’t sure, but your review opened it up for me ...., brilliant. The video is SICK.
Great review mate. QOTSA are my favourite band.. off the seen them in Amsterdam in November can’t bloody wait!! 🔥🔥🔥😎😎😎🙌
Love to watch Justin react to great music. He seems both mournful yet ..galvanised. ❤
Lol, the fadeout caught me off guard too. Justin, you make every reaction video so much fun. A true front man!
