Once was a Montreal-based band called Priestess. Check them out, and if at all possible, send them some love. They were the only opening band for STP that got chanted by 80K people to head back out on the stage. Festival d'été de Québec, 2008. I was in that crowd, as an STP and Priestess fan. Well, I hollered "Priestess" too!!
Yep. There are three unmatched, bigger-than-life, Josh Homme riffs: this one, the one on Better Living..., and that on You Can't Quit Me... How can you write those three songs and then all the others (including those previous badass, beautiful Kyuss songs? How's that even possible? Tell me.
I love Nick, especially his vocals...but Mikey is the best bassist they've had. Like clockwork had some incredible riffs. Mini Mansions, his side project, are dope if you ain't listened before.
Josh is wearing just a hoodie, Troy and Dean are wearing jackets, Mikey is wearing a long sleeve shirt and Joey is wearing a short sleeve shirt. What is the temperature in that room?!
There's something so charming about calling a song "I think I lost my headache" when it deliberately tries to leave your mind reeling after you've heard it
Their sound, their groove, their melodies being catchy but never trite, the chord progressions being always cool and unique (they often use modal interchange), their arrangements. All this and other things make this band one of the best ever. This particular song is just incredible.
@@spiritualconnection4807 my gf's attitude towards them is that their riffs are repetitive but I think if you think that you aren't listening to all the nuances. But then again that's what snobs say 😂
@@romerosneck The point of stoner rock is repetitive riffs but groovy as fuck. Then add Joshua's melodies on top, some great solos, great drums and basslines and you have a masterpiece. Their last two albums are completely different from the others because they aren't as riff based as the others. Does your girlfriend know them? By the way all riff based songs have pretty repetitive riffs, the ability of the band is obtaining the best out of them and Josh and co. are awesome at this.
@@gnarkillerlive wise the best version of the band is wish Jon instead of Joey, love Joey especially his studio work but Jon is more technically skilled and is a flawless live performer something Joey never was. The current lineup for the last decade is truly a flawless live band with chemistry absolute through the roof, they sound so good on their current tour right now. Joey pretty often rushed drumming kept them from being as tight as they are with Jon
Don’t forget mastodon even tho they’re metal that still counts as rock n roll. I agree tho QOTSA fuckin rules, new record was real solid and they sound incredible on tour rt now
@@alexmalchor some people, many people think their best record was like clockwork and it was pretty much universally acclaimed, plus their new record is good and they sound amazing on tour right now. They’re absolutely still holding it down for rock n roll, same with mastodon
So I'm guessing many people here have seen the video of Josh playing one of George Harrison's guitars. He said "there's some things that you feel like you shouldn't do, and this is one of those." One day the same thing is going to happen to him. Legends, both of them.
I pride myself for having a keen ear for good music. I don’t care what anybody thinks or says about what I’m bout to say. Queens of the Stone Age is one of the top ten rock bands EVER!!! They literally have it all, riffs, tones, melodies, etc etc. Then on top of all that, they sound EVEN BETTER LIVE!!! There are only a handful of bands that sound better live, and there catalogue….forget about it. It’s extensive. Been studying them for the past 3 years STRAIGHT, DAILY!!! And the multiple lineups 🤦🏻♂️ THEY ARE ALL GOOD!! I literally just can’t get enough. Inspiring indeed 🖤🌸♒️
Mikey is the fuckin man, so happy he’s still a member all these years later. The bass on I appear missing especially during live performances is legendary. Great musician, hope he’s in the band as long as they are around
Great band, great sound, great era. Every incarnation of QOTSA is gold, but there was really something special about this lineup, and Songs for the Deaf.
I agree. I've loved most everything they've put out, but every once in awhile for years now I get the urge to have a whole album session with Rated R, Songs for the Deaf, or Era Vulgaris. There is something almost other wordly and so surreal about those albums. Especially the first two I mentioned.
@@TheFos88 Totally. Truly music that would never have been made without the people, place, and time it was made with/in. Other worldly and surreal is right on the money lol.
Glad they put these back on here. I use to watch them all the time in 8th grade and they just disappeared. Good time to be alive minus the virus and riots lmao
I know. I was fully heartbroken and for me it was the exact moment they went absolutely hurtling downhill. I was buzzing when I found out he was in the Bronx now! I have no idea how that passed me by
Makeluck365 first off: Yes, Jon is incredible. I’m a MASSIVE fan of every Mars Volta record he played on. Absolutely brilliant stuff. But he’s completely underutilized in Queens. His playing is downright boring on Villains. On top of that, he plays the older stuff kind of weak. He’s not hitting nearly as hard as Dave or Joey did. Again, I love Jon. But I question if he’s a right fit for Queens.
Yes! My favourite aswell! Its just só good, song after song!!! Next id say lullabies to paralyse, i think that's a really really good album as a whole...
I like how there's no audience it's just them playing in a studio. Usually you would hear clapping and applause, yet it it's so quiet you could her a pin drop. It's almost like the band is just your typical band jamming in the garage you would play with your friends back in the day. Cool video!
I’ve hung with Josh on various business and mutual friends occasions. Freaking Hilarious and presence a little intimidating. Just such a Big Dude. Want him on your side,,shit goes down lol
This shit is CRAZY! Starts off really strange/complicated and at around 5:30 this shit gets INSANE! Everything is running wild. Drums, Bass. etc.... LOVE this! 🔥 💣 👊
FINALLY! Not sure if this video has ever made it to RUclips before now but this is my favorite recording of ITILMH of all time. Use to have to scour Vimeo or other odd sources to try and find this.
Same. This sound is distinctive, the QOTSA monster waking up. I've always preferred the slovenly fuzz of the earlier albums over the gloss of the latter. More of a drug haze, less self-aware. The chaos of Josh's polka-influenced riffs, crashing against the other instruments with wonderful circus-like disharmony. It's perfectly realised. Good times.
Thank you for putting this back up! Greatest performance of this.....that outro is a freight train that just picks up momentum until you crash into the wall at the end.
Mann... imagine being Nick and seeing the songs you helped write, create and poured ur Blood, sweat and beers into for a lifetime! Not in it and written off from it!😳🙁💔💔💔💔 poor dude.

Imagine writing a song this cool and then continuing to exist normally afterwards.

I was unsure of what lineup he meant until this .....the outro is ridiculous
