@@kingamer1234LSD changed my life for the better in the 90s when i used to sell it. completely changed my personality for the better. i was microdosing before that was even understood just because i had it every day.
In The Fade is gorgeous, but Better Living Through Chemistry is transcending, hypnotic and just as equally gorgeous at a certain point. That song really takes you to a beautiful and strange place.
+Thee Ol' Boozeroony If you take the lyrics at face value... anytime you lose a sense of purpose, or feel like you can't succeed. In my life, I've found that if you give up for a moment, you can get a little clarity on where you can get yourself a win....the combination of the lyrics and the lethargic music remind of that feeling of giving up for just a moment before moving forward. For Drug Addiction (which thankfully I've never had to get over, but I can only imagine...) 'I'm Gonna Leave You' is a better track I'm thinking.
Definitely does NOT enough love...probably my favorite Queens song, and definitely my favorite use of a haunting Lanegan vocal on a (mostly) Homme-composed track
I've been listening to this album for years, and that track speaks to me unlike any other song. That wooly guitar tone, and bittersweet vocal performance that always cuts me deep.
Josh's influence on music is amazing. I really like his take on doing what they want to do and not painting themselves in a corner trying to please the same audience.
This interview is a go to cozy thing for me. It's been rough lately. The time to change is coming around again, and the preamble is always rough. Goodbye, old you. Meet the new you.
Rated R is the album that I played the most during my time in university. Got it the week it came out since I dug the 1st album and the new sound arrived as my mind was being bent on a daily basis with substances in a good way. It was just perfect for that time and I really played the hell out of it and turned on many many people to it and the band. So good. So so good.
I remember getting a job working at the festivals in 2002 selling food for a vegetarian company. Fine. Good times. They were cool. "You're here to work but if there's a band you wanna see, go for it". Glastonbury 2002. QOTSA are on the bill and I couldn't believe it, I never thought Dave Grohl would be with them though, I couldn't be that lucky. I was. They absolutely killed it. I remember getting off the train in Reading where I was at college at the time. With my rucksack on my back, instead of going straight home, I went to HMV and bought Rated R and Songs For The Deaf. I went home that morning, listened to those albums and drank gin. Fucking good times. Reading College was shit and a joke but my time there made me may friends, had naked fun with many a fine female, worked the festivals and saw Queens Of The Stone Age. I thank you.
I love all queens records and have since they first popped out the first one. More weird in the fucking diet of the world is lovely so is a great pop song.
amazing interview....super cool to hear. Had the pleasure of meeting and actually opening for Kyuss more than once...Josh is pretty intimidating at first...he's big and looks like the classic school bully....but he's a bad ass dude...and some 20 years later he's still kicking ass. Thank you Josh for so much great music!!
One of the best artist interviews I’ve ever heard. Kinda shows me that making something special is second to living a diverse filling life. Technique isn’t the only thing, no matter how good you are at playing, if you have feelings and thoughts worth conveying then you have something to give as an artist
I picked up a copy of "Rated X" on vinyl as a double LP. Great record, but the second half with the live tracks are so much better in my opinion. Their first three albums get regular play while working on my paintings.
Their first 3 were the best. Nick kept the band on the hard/heavy side (Josh and Alfredo both came from Kyuss before the first album so that one was on the hard side)
When you download Rated R onto your PC it reads as Metal......I can understand the Metal ties with Kyuss , Queens Of The Stone Age can be more described as Psychedelic Metal, especially the first 3 albums......but Queens are a very broad band.......I alway's saw Kyuss and Queens as reintroducing early 70s proto-metal of Sabbath, Zep and The Stooges into the 90s / 00s. Its Classic Rock reinvented
Nihl Esten I don't think it's as weird (or concise) as Rated R. However I listened to it recently and the competition is a lot closer than I remembered.
+daniel mcdermott Well, the oddity isn't a measure of beauty. I think of oddity in music as a bonus quality. If it sounds good and has good lyrics it's good, if it's also edgy and has edgy lyrics (like Rape Me- Nirvana) that just adds to the beauty. Songs for the Deaf, in my onion, had a stranger and prettier approach. Rated R was a fantastic album.
I like some of the songs from Songs for the deaf but i think it's less cohesive and more of a mixed bag than rated r. I don't think any song on songs for the deaf is better than in the fade and better living through chemistry.
I think we can all thank Josh for reintroducing the world to Mark Lanegan. I may have never discovered, and quickly become obsessed with, some of the greatest songs the world has ever known. And Josh's music ain't bad either.
"I really wanted to sleep with his sister and she like... well... basically turned into a werewolf-alien and I was like 'Ayyeeewhatsuuurrrr?!' and you just, deal with it. You know?" Don't know about the rest of you, but I don't know. Although I'd love to!
What's cool is that it was during the nu metal era and they were staples for the heavy metal circuit...what's interesting is that it wasn't like QOTSA or SFTD...it was still mysterious
Josh seems to be in a way driven to open people up to diversity in music and I love that. I've always loved bands that are diverse and include many different sounds and styles within their albums and not being afraid to try new things. I think audiences now NEED to have diversity because the idea of diversity being bad is crazy. I've seen people bash albums for being "unfocused" when really they were just diverse. If you think diverse = bad you gotta open your ears more!
This record is so beautiful!!! In the Fade is the first Queens song i ever heard. Leg of Lamb is probably my fave song on this record...its so fucking weird. Its neat hearing his thoughts on Oppenheimer.
not into drugs but rated r was the coolest new record in my lifetime. i just learned to make rock myself which i always wanted to do besides extreme metal. and that record was just fuel in a time where i fired off my last liters of naivitey
"Oh, we wore that record out, man." Yup, that sounds about right.
There needs to be one of these for every Queens Of The Stone Age album.
"I'm not singing about nacho cheese or anything, I'm singing about LSD, which, I guess, y'know, both make you feel bad in the end."
He’s a fucking poet
LSD makes things better even after the trip

Better living through chemistry is the most beautiful song iveeverheard
Love all that you said, however not but - and.
@@MiriusTube You're right on. What the hell was I thinking?
Easily the two best songs on the album for me.
For sure! U explained it perfectly
This interview is good. This album is spectacular. In The Fade is extraordinary.
DominikLederhas I don't know what to tell you. I suppose it was another Queens song to me until one day I heard in a way that clicked.
The first guild I ever made in WoW was called In The Fade. I was pretty hard into coke at the time, and weed, and vicodin. :D
David Parkhurst you wouldn't be playing much WoW if you we're hard into coke dude
+Thee Ol' Boozeroony Because it relates to a lot of people at some point in there lives.

I Think I Lost My Headache is damn near perfection, the whole album just works up to that pinnacle...
Idk why but the ending gives me very similar vibes to The Nation Anthem by Radiohead, which also came out the same year…
I just hate those last 3 minutes. So irritating to me for some reason. I stop the album right before that outro kicks in
It's April 2022 and I'm still playing the shit out of this album.
And the latest is genius
Can’t remember how many times I was awoken with headphone cables wrapped round my neck and those horns shouting in my ears. Thanks for the music Josh.
Josh Homie.
very original
Homme
I lost it at when he mentioned Primus "And I wasn't singing about nacho cheese, more like LSD and stuff."
"It's like going into a room and saying boobs." made me lol
I would love one of these for “Songs For The Deaf”. I think it’s one of the best albums of all time, and probably the best rock album of the 00’s.
Honestly can’t decide which albums better. They’re both top 5 for me.
I think in the fade has gotta be my favourite song of all time - the feeling that inspires in me is like none other
Definitely does NOT enough love...probably my favorite Queens song, and definitely my favorite use of a haunting Lanegan vocal on a (mostly) Homme-composed track
I've been listening to this album for years, and that track speaks to me unlike any other song. That wooly guitar tone, and bittersweet vocal performance that always cuts me deep.
Don't forget that awesome Rhodes track on there!
Awesome bass line
David Bowie's influence is all over everything Josh has ever done and the respect is huge!!!
Certainly not before Like Clockwork.
One of the few things to be proud of bein an Englishman is how most great bands get recognised in the uk first.
was a life changing record for me
Listened to this while stopping and playing each song in between :)
Just beautiful.
"come touch the weird" - Josh Homme
Better Living Through Chemistry blows my mind every time I hear it
This guy needs to interview Josh about all of his albums.
Josh's influence on music is amazing. I really like his take on doing what they want to do and not painting themselves in a corner trying to please the same audience.
This interview is a go to cozy thing for me. It's been rough lately. The time to change is coming around again, and the preamble is always rough.
Goodbye, old you. Meet the new you.
Shouts to the interviewer for asking very thoughtful questions and even catching himself to rephrase a boring question. What a great 30 mins.
Was just playing this for my girlfriend the other day; she had never heard this album from them. "Rated R" is their best album in my opinion.
What's funny is that Homme says "you know?" to everything which we don't know.
No one knows, ya know?
cant get enough qotsa
im designer is a cousin of leg of lamb
Yes Sir !
Isaac Howenstine absolutely
Tangled up in plaid is leg of lambs little brother too

Incredible album. Each track has a completely different feel and each turn is unpredictable; it's ridiculously dynamic.

tell us more!

Great band. Thank you for the music

This album was high school, graduation, and me wandering around working part time jobs before my 20s.
Cool story
clippers will never win a championship
+Brendan McDonald :(
This album was me chronically ill, on drugs , and suffering terrible domestic abuse

Technique isn’t the only thing, no matter how good you are at playing, if you have feelings and thoughts worth conveying then you have something to give as an artist
I have watched this so many times
"Josh was just the guitar player" lol yeah, the best component of Kyuss
The bass in Kyuss is also amazing
@@user-yo8ql4zl6q I should rephrase...Scott was the best instrumentalist in Kyuss...but how and what Josh played was more interesting
This host is great, glad they came back for lullabies
This is a really great interview, honest and intelligent.
Thanks man, you just did me a big favor, I'm gonna go listen to this song over and over again now xD
The best rock band of modern times
One of those interviews I can listen to on repeat... checking my leveeels!
cranked!
This was so great. I wish there was one for every album.
way to bring up the declaration of independence in the UK, Josh.
#toosoon
"Quick and to the point-less"
Dude's spontaneous quips are on another level
Great interview 😮
I'm Designer is a cousin of Leg Of Lamb, ha! That's awesome. The former is my favorite song on Era Vulgaris.
Thanks a mill for the upload.
I like hearing Dave talk about music.
One of my favorite Queens album, I keep going back to Headache
Great interview! The lost art of keeping a secret is a masterpiece!!!
Josh Homme is a frontman's frontman.
I picked up a copy of "Rated X" on vinyl as a double LP. Great record, but the second half with the live tracks are so much better in my opinion. Their first three albums get regular play while working on my paintings.
Their first 3 were the best. Nick kept the band on the hard/heavy side (Josh and Alfredo both came from Kyuss before the first album so that one was on the hard side)
kevin something why better
Cause it's live
Or because the live songs are more open and a jamming format ?
I can’t listen to the second half with out hearing the cover of never say never by Romeo void and getting it stuck in my head for weeks
I love the pronunciation of his last name at the beginning there, "Josh Homie" lmao

+David Oglesby for it my pc says experimental. hahahh
David Oglesby That's funny! But yeah I could never call Queens a metal band. Maybe Kyuss, but not Qotsa.
The genre isn't important
@@derfgerps4016 i think qotsa had 3 metal albums those are the self-Titled and rated R and songs for the deaf
Queens is a stoner rock group also self titled as desert rock.
"Feel Good of the Summer" can really make you want to fucking get ripped and go crazy. They got a really good take on that one!
Brilliant album, brilliant band
Classic album... Never gets old.
Those first 3 queens albums changed my life and made me pick up a guitar
His speaking voice is smooth as well. Jeez.
This Band is Amazing !!
Love blasting this album while I'm off-roading high AF 🤘
Their best album.
+daniel mcdermott Their best album was Songs for the Deaf, which is also possibly THE BEST ALBUM EVER.

I still wear this album out.
what a great approach to leading a band
In Times New Roman is so good it overtook Rated R as my fav queens album. Hi from 2023
I think Rated R is the best album I have ever listened to. Changed my life!
"I really wanted to sleep with his sister and she like... well... basically turned into a werewolf-alien and I was like 'Ayyeeewhatsuuurrrr?!' and you just, deal with it. You know?"
Don't know about the rest of you, but I don't know.
Although I'd love to!
one of the very, very few people I could listen to chat for half an hour straight
josh is the bawwwwwwws
one of my favourite albums , just makes ya feel dirty every time you listen to it .
Great interview.
Rated R has got to be one of the BEST albums ever made!
such a great song
What's cool is that it was during the nu metal era and they were staples for the heavy metal circuit...what's interesting is that it wasn't like QOTSA or SFTD...it was still mysterious

Listening to the Days after Barbenheimer released in theaters feels serendipitous
Great interviewer, I must say.
This record is so beautiful!!!
In the Fade is the first Queens song i ever heard. Leg of Lamb is probably my fave song on this record...its so fucking weird. Its neat hearing his thoughts on Oppenheimer.
Cool style to this interview, Joshs voice clear and up front and others float in kind of distorted almost breaking up
8:45 Leg of Lamb is my favorite song on this album! Sooooo good!
not into drugs but rated r was the coolest new record in my lifetime. i just learned to make rock myself which i always wanted to do besides extreme metal. and that record was just fuel in a time where i fired off my last liters of naivitey
Properly chuckling to those comments about the end of I Think I Lost My Headache.
Whassssup!! Best band ever!!
God, so fucking honest, true....Their music just got better, didn't think that was possible....Blew my mind. Go Josh, go Queens
its cool to hear josh talk about primus
"A popsong with weird slathered all over it like jelly" :)
Time to go write.
Wish most people still had this opinion on censorship.
I am now currently expecting bosom clutching!!!
The perfect title.
The vibes in the A-section of Lost Art are SO KILLER.
thanks!
My favourite album of there's and mark lanegan on in the fade is top notch .
hey, just done a little digging. it was on the 7th of october 2007 on XFM london radio :)

MUCH RESPECT...love "PERMAGRINN"..(oshkosh wisconsin)
