The bass player for this song is Milo Beenhakker. Together with Eva Nahon they formed the rhythm section in Beaver. They were asked by Josh for this song, first song ever released under the QOTSA name. It was released on the compilation album "Burn one up".
Bought this album the day it came out. QOTSA, Fu Manchu, Karma to Burn, Sleep, Acrimony, Beaver. This was the birth of the term "stonerrock" because of the album said "Music for Stoners" right on the cover. I wasn't a "stoner", but I loved Kyuss and wanted to hear more music like it. The album was an amazing corroboration of awesome underground bands.
Because Oliveri was out of the picture, then. He wanted to form a new band, and this is actually the first Qotsa song. They were asked by Josh, since he knew them from touring around the globe.
The riff that comes in at 1:18 is almost identical to one of the middle sections of Spaceship Landing by Kyuss. Which is perfectly acceptable of course since QOTSA is the son of Kyuss.
midcenturygirl 5 years ago There is no yesterday, there is no tomorrow. Carry us swiftly mother earth, as far as you go. Over and over, clear and forgotten. Over and over. Over and over. There is no tomorrow. There is no tomorrow.
A lot of early QotSA & Late Kyuss b-sides were released on Frank Kozik’s Man’s Ruin Records label, which went under and hasn’t given spotify permission to upload it. Beaver/13eaver, the Dutch stoner band that Queens recorded this song with, also was signed to Man’s Ruin, and I believe the beaver guys owned some of the publishing rights to the song.
Those songs are meant to "improve upon"! Or rather jam off on... The riffs and heavy ever-changing rhythm-section is so inspiring, that even if one cannot play a single instrument, tunes come crawling in and the body starts moving in strange ways... Thats how the desert sessions came about.
Intro reminds me of Hawkwind's Master of the Universe riff... Super cool song by QOTSA.. early QOTSA was just another thing, they still had the Kyuss influence very fresh and kicked some serious amount of ass..
@@rajveerkanojiya2985 I am still on youtube daily haha and speaking of ♾ I just went and listened to it and a bunch of non album bangers that are still so fresh and amazing haha. QOTSA still favourite band lol 😁
I like to think this song is about suicide. "There is no yesterday, there is no tomorrow." Then I hear the words as "Can't look, can't speak, another word." And then, "As far as you know, " would imply things about after death (heaven, hell, the void, etc.). "Over and over," would be the contemplation of suicide and finally, "Clear and forgotten." That's how you feel it would be. Forgotten but for a while a terribly clear conundrum in peoples lives. Anyways, what do you think?
+Tyler Johnson Music is open to interpretation. You got suicide. I got life is just a huge never ending pain in the ass. Or at least it feels never ending as we do the same things over and over until we die.
I feel like it about the moment.... This moment... Over and over.... A succession of moments... Here and forgotten..... There is no tomorrow... There's only NOW.... Peace and Love Fuck the Reptilian Satanists there is no tomorrow
I feel like it about the moment.... This moment... Over and over.... A succession of moments... Here and forgotten..... There is no tomorrow... There's only NOW.... Peace and Love Fuck the Reptilian Satanists there is no tomorrow
The Kyuss fans worldwide pushed these bands along. They gave them attention and monetary support for them to go on to do greater things. They embraced the "Stoner Rock" genre. The sought music that was far out of the mainstream. That's what this album was all about. They had no chance without us.
I can't say really nothing bad bout this song, this music, this energy.... It's pure enjoy, pure rock, pure power from....guitars, people,minds...passion! yeah!!!
Honestly on a lot of this earlier QOTSA stuff, Josh sounds a lot like John when he did cleaner vocals in Kyuss. I really like it, I guess it’s the Californian accent and just the influence John may have had on Josh.
Yeah. If you look at early QOTSA footage (like back when it was Josh Alfredo and Nick and John McBain from Monster Magnet Josh would be a lot more reserved with the vocals.
you can put this right in the middle of 'Sky Valley' and nobody would even notice... :) i always thought Kuyss/QOTSA split CD on Man's Ruin was the first 'official' QOTSA output... THX for posting this track....
They had an EP released as Gamma Ray that had If Only and Born to Hula on it, but there was a metal band from Germany named Gamma Ray that made them change their name.
Most songs are like that I think! Even on better known albums by better known artists there's always a solid track that lights your ass on fire and makes you wonder why it's not ever heard.
@@zawarchaudry4886 ya Garcia was cringey in Kyuss for sure but he was a child & really didn’t know how to sing. It was endearing actually & part of Kyuss’s charm. However, Garcia became a LION around 1997, and was one of the best to ever do it with UNIDA. His voice transformed completely. Their infamously unreleased, Rick Rubin-produced second full length album is not only Garcia’s best work by far, but also one of the greatest hard rock vocal performances ever recorded
Love the big mean truck. American badass is coming down the road whether you like it or not. But it not just American, it's everyone. It's so awesome that the sound has gone global. I wish America would embrace this style of music like Europeans and South Americans do. Makes me sick and ashamed that the best band in the USA is more supported in Europe that it is in the USA. The sheep want more Timberlake and JayZ. I want more QOTSA.
my fav qotsa album is either thier first one-self tittled, songs for the deaf, or over the years and thru the woods. i just cant decide .oh and thier split ep with kyuss
@stabarah Not sure on how musically talented (I know he plays well, I'm talking about writing) Oliveri is, since I like "Welcome to Sky Valley" and "...And the Circus Leaves Town" more than "Blues for the Red Sun", but I do know he had nothing to do with this song. The bassist for this song is Milo Beenhakker, a dutch guy... the name translates to "Milo Legchopper"... pretty awesome. Sorry for replying to such an old comment, hate it when people do that.
I know all of the Desert Sessions, but apparently this (18. AD) song came from an earlier release called Burn One Up, and I want to find the other songs on it.
There is quite a large Qotsa fanbase here. we just have to hide in the shadows and dark places of the world; So that we don't get infected with bieberitis.
no sir. you are right, the last two albums sounded differrent compared to the older ones, but they still have the good old quality that we are all used to and love about qotsa. every band changes its sounds over the years and plays with its music to find new ways to express itself. but that is not a bad thing. and beefbourito is right, this sounds very similar to kyuss, which is great.
If anyone here has the Burn One Up disc, can you pls tell me if the songs are originals or songs that can be found on other albums? It would be appreciated. This song is raw!
I just went to the Kosbor and got me this fine, new haze. Lemon Larry. Funny name I thought. Just 11.00E a gram. Better check it out, youknow. Got home, put 2 papers together, what we in Holland call "een L-er"(coz of the shape), went on youtube and found THIS! for the FIRST time ever. Been a fan since the selftitled, nevertheless, never heard this one. And it all felt like destiny..? Fucking *CONFUSED GAZE FACE* event for the entire song! LOOOOVE
I agree too but one can always forget about the plethora of talent that surrounds QOTSA and supports its creeativity, The Gosso king, Dave Catching, Joey Castillo, Troy van Leuwen, Alfredo, brant, Hutch, Natasha Schneider (RIP), Fred drake (RIP), Nick Oliveri, mark lanegan, mario Lalli, Larry Lalli, Scott reeder, Dean Ween, Eagles crue!!! Im not name checking, just reminding ppl that josh is complimented by all these excellent musical talent that makes all these projects and bands great!!
You can literally hear the transition between Kyuss and Queens of the Stone Age. Badass.
You could say it's the dawn of a new age... The Stone Age.
The bass player for this song is Milo Beenhakker. Together with Eva Nahon they formed the rhythm section in Beaver. They were asked by Josh for this song, first song ever released under the QOTSA name. It was released on the compilation album "Burn one up".
Celebrating the newest qotsa song by listening to their first song released. It's crazy how far Josh has come
This is basically a Kyuss song. Awesome.
Yeah, there are some references to "And The Circus Leaves Town..." in there
Without Garcia :(
With josh on vocals and theres two guitars instead of one
The 13eaver rhythm section co-wrote this song (Beaver, from Amsterdam, The Netherlands) ;)
You can hear the transition between both bands so clearly. Such a good song.
Bought this album the day it came out. QOTSA, Fu Manchu, Karma to Burn, Sleep, Acrimony, Beaver. This was the birth of the term "stonerrock" because of the album said "Music for Stoners" right on the cover. I wasn't a "stoner", but I loved Kyuss and wanted to hear more music like it.

me too. i discovered another fave band on this cd: fu manchu
Yeah not a stoner but like the music
For reals, I never intend to smoke but the music is so good
I can't get enough of this one, the bass is unreal
Pretty sure Josh played all the instruments on this one. It's a kick ass song.
Milo Beenhakker played bass and Eva Nahon played drums. Milo and Eva used to play in the greatest dutch band ever: Beaver.
Why wouldn't have Nick Oliveri played this one??
Because Oliveri was out of the picture, then. He wanted to form a new band, and this is actually the first Qotsa song. They were asked by Josh, since he knew them from touring around the globe.
@@mcoopcoop ...what’re you talking about ..?
if you play this in 2020. play it loud pls.
yes sir
i got you fam
request accepted
If you play this in 2021 play it louder please.
2021 too
This is the very first song from QOTSA, after changing their name from 'Gamma Ray' (post Kyuss breakup)
How many mind-blowing songs can this band write?
Some of them even have 5 mind blowing song all-in-one.
They stopped doing it a couple of albums ago, so there was definitely a maximum
@@Gias1 Full disagree. There’s a certain difference in the two decades but still continue strong song writing.
no. 1.knows
i like every qotsa song
This was when Josh was still uncomfortable being a vocalist, I remember he said that in an interview somewhere back in the day.
Why do feel like the more unknown is the song, the better it'll be ?
+Jeffrey Lebowski Yeah? Well, you know, that's just like uh, your opinion, man.

This aggression will not stand, man !
Sometimes I hate the internet, then I remember it gave us this conversation.

Don't worry Will, these men are nihilists, there's nothing to
be afraid of...
Maxime Murphy
Maxime, please, you're out of your element.
whenever i have to buy some cheap headphones i still use this song (0:14 - 0:26) to separate the wheat from the chaff.
This and Regular John help a lot
Fuck, that is GENIUS.
Pardon my stupidity but what does that mean? Wheat from chaff?
The good from the bad.
Underrated advice!!
Been listening to QOTSA for almost 20 years and somehow I've never heard this. The riff reminds me of Green Machine. Good stuff!
How’s it similar to GM....?
@@joemayo4078 the riff used is a very common kind of riff, its basically a slower version of the gm riff
nice santa cruz icon
I know right. Where the hell has the song been all this time?
@@joemayo4078Both are centered around root (C in GM D in 18AD) power chord & palm muted open string, but tempo, rhythm & filler licks are different.
The riff that comes in at 1:18 is almost identical to one of the middle sections of Spaceship Landing by Kyuss. Which is perfectly acceptable of course since QOTSA is the son of Kyuss.
Good ear
1:18 ad
And Kyuss are the sons of Sons of Kyuss. Meaning they are their own grandfather wait what
Back to the roots, palm springs style. I like it, it even makes Schneider trucking look cool!
This confirms I can never get enough of Joshua Homme.
until he kicks a photographer in the face. turns out he is an arrogant man after all.
Yes he made great music, but he is just a prick sometimes.
@@Gias1 I still don't understand wtf that was. It made no sense to me why he would do that.
@@fuckamericanidiot he just did it
Can't see why my neighbors wouldn't like this too ..
I like it, but maybe you should have some headphones, just in case.
Kyuss of the stone age
Kyuss queens of the stoneage
i can hear a lot of hendrix in hommes playing in this track for sure
He said he based his style on Hendrix.
haha i've actually watched the guitar moves with josh homme since i posted this where that quote is from
He even does the backwards bend thing. I love the backwards bend thing.
I think he calls it the Hendrix Bend or something like that. It's so simple yet so fucking sweet.
lol I just realized these comments are from 2 years ago
Still one of my favorite QOTSA songs.
midcenturygirl 5 years ago
There is no yesterday, there is no tomorrow.
Carry us swiftly mother earth, as far as you go.
Over and over, clear and forgotten.
Over and over. Over and over.
There is no tomorrow. There is no tomorrow.
+midcenturygirl definitely not carry us swiftly mother earth
but what is it then?...
+midcenturygirl Cannot, ask me, in other worrrds. That's just looking up the lyrics but it sounds right
Always thought it was "Cant look, can't speak, another word."
All Queens is good Queens, that's what I say
You talk to soon, son
well..that's what I say!!!!!!!!!!
Villains disagrees
It’s all about early queens
Era Vulgaris SUCKED! It had one good (great) song on it, but everything else was just filler crap.
I don't know why their rarities are not on spotify
A lot of early QotSA & Late Kyuss b-sides were released on Frank Kozik’s Man’s Ruin Records label, which went under and hasn’t given spotify permission to upload it.

Man, I love stonin' and roamin. These hidden tracks are where its at!
This was the first appearance of "Queens of the Stone Age" on an album, essentially the first QOTSA song.
I've never found this one being played live...it's such a legendary song.
This is my favorite QOTSA song. Too bad I've never heard or seen them do this song live. I have seen "Born To Hula" and "Rickshaw" performed live.

One of the all time best songs

One of the most underrated QOTSA songs ever!
It's up there
Now playing on Freezknotable: Zooted Stoner Rock show "18 A.D." Queens of the Stone Age.
dave catching mentioned in a interview it was called 1880 if i remember
Came to listen to this after just watching them live
the style is Kyuss, amazing
just think of all the awsome shit that the past members of kyuss have been involved with. and they're still going strong.
yea its great. only sometimes i thought how could have been kyuss album no5 and no6...? uh oh .. could be awesome
This is an everyday listen for me
Why have they never played this song live? I think it's awesome.
They have only once in 2001
man this grooves
The evil desert blues scale 💨
This song is making my A Level I.T coursework bearable...
Great song to listen to while driving randomly by the city at night
That is one awesome looking rig, they just don't may them like that anymore.

@WitchHazelSessions correction again, early Qotsa was Josh and Alfredo hernandez... the latter being the drummer
Listen to this whilst you're high, you will not regret
Perfect
i love this, qotsa is awesome
i think they were still called Gamma Ray when this came out? before they got sued to change name to QOTSA?
This is a good example of why I think Kyuss would have sounded even better with Homme fronting.
Bullshit. Hommes vocals is the weakest part of QoTSA. He should have recruited Garca or some other great vocalist instead himself.
Yes holy shit was garcia cringe worthy

Yup, loved it. Is it not essentially the same track as Sherbert?
