@@geromelegnome5446 i hope you can traduce this cause i dont speak english :( Josh en su epoca de kyuss hasta varios años despues con QOTSA ha usado estas guitarras Ovarion.. se que en USA son bastante "baratas" a comparacion de otras de su competencia, y para mi tienen un sonido muy unico y que Josh lo adopto para su estilo. Saludos!! sigue tocando porque nunca es tarde para nada ;)
Back in the day there was a really active QOTSA tape trading network all over the world. We would all send each other CD-Rs of bootlegs, in the MAIL. I remember getting this show from someone and laughing out loud at that. In '98, Kyuss had only very recently come apart (the "best of" record came out in 2000). So there were a ton of these shows with guys yelling "Kyuss." There's another great show in Detroit, I think it's '98 as well, where some dude is yelling "Kyuss" between songs. I was bummed Kyuss broke up, but when I started hearing Queens, I liked them way more. Some guys couldn't get over it.
it's really cool to see this performance because the audience watches without understanding who they are, but they were witnessing something very special being born and being a sound reference years later. here were only 3 in the stage
The beginning was much like that scene in Back to the Future she Michael J. Fox just started playing mad solos and everyone in the audience was petrified. You can tell everyone's trying to process the future.
Man I wish I were just a few years older so I could've been there from the very beginning. This band is just soooo tits. I love them from their old stuff to their new.
This really captures Queens at a time when they are just starting to light it up. I had a sbd copy that I turned alot of friends onto. I mean, 'The Bronze' is just off the rails taking a life of it's own! Everything I love about live performance.
Homme still working on his melodic vocals - The guitar sounds gritty and rough cut - Drumming straightforward and driven...They still have the lightning in the bottle! Love them and this shows to prove that they really were and am still now digging deeper than ever! Love it!
This was the best incarnation of QOTSA. When it was three quarters of Kyuss. Nick Brings that Meth Rock Desert Punk aggression, Alfredo brings the Rhythmic psychedelia of Yawning Man and Across The River, and Josh had not yet gone Hollywood.
yeah man troy is awesome and a great addition to the band every since he joined! but i just like the "rawness" of this three piece constellation a bit more! haha just personal preference ;) cheers!
OMG! Ive been into QOTSA for 15+ years and always thought Josh had a familiar look but could never put my finger on it. Now I cannot unsee it. Totally cartoon Hercules!! hahaha!!
The magma Nick pours in his amp to get that prehistoric tone -- can you get that from any ole volcano, or is it unique magma from some specific magical volcano.. perhaps at the bottom of the ocean or on another planet..?
I just might see them live in a month if I find the time and money. Weird to think that I'm just a few years younger than their self-titled album, on which I can't agree more with you. Crazy stuff.
Funny, these folks don't even understand what they are watching. Saw this tour in KC a long time ago, I have not stopped listening since. Seriously, THE smartest album of modern Rock n Roll since Abbey Road in my opinion. I know, I know, "your drunk, shut up" but yea
I discovered this album when I was around 14, and it blew my teenage mind. Since then my taste in music has changed a lot, but once every year/second year I listen to it frantically and it's still has a refreshing effect on me every single time. Such a fucking masterpiece.
No you're right 100%. The precision in Josh's songwriting and guitar work is so underrated. Dude is the white boy Hendrix. A laser sighted boy wonder who couldn't be stopped. I also heard this album when I was like 14 or 15 and it blew my mind. Rated R and SFTD are great but, the 1st record is the main idea. It's gritty and raw. Will always be my favorite Queens record.
Trivia on why they are a power trio here: Dave Catching should be playing but his plane arrived late on Germany. You can see him performing with the band on the Virus TV special recorded a couple of days after the Bizarre Fest gig.
I'm under the understanding that the first tour in Europe (ten dates opening for Fu Manchu including festival appearances such as this one) Dave didn't come along because they simply couldn't afford to bring him. I'm under the impression the Virus taping (at Club Logo in Hamburg) was from the show there that November, not the August show, and that's why Dave's there. Makes since, because in the walking/talking cuts in between song they're all bundled up because it's cold.
My favorite rock band of all time is now in the running for favorite power trio. Nick Oliveri should be so fucking proud of this performance that carries a copy of it. Rock n Roll!
It wouldn't be the same. They're old lads now etc. Josh his guitar sound isn't as gritty as it used to be. But yeah it would have been cool to have been their from the start and see them live.
I saw them tour with Nick at least 10 times maybe more... You missed out it's over they're not the same people anymore. Fame changes people. Go buy some dvds.
I still love Queens more than any other band to this day, but goddamn... no bassist after Nick came anywhere close to achieving that same cavernous, chasm-deep sound and propulsive style of playing. Truly a unique bass player whose style cannot be replicated. All the bass players that came after him, while more than decent, if not highly proficient players... they could never quite play make those bass lines pulsate note for note the way that Nick did. Don't know how he did it, whether it was in his thumb or his gear or a little bit of all of the above, but dude was a beast on bass. (With the coolest singing voice to boot.)
Dam this concert Fn rocks!!! I love there old stuff. And the new. There huge now!!!! Awesome Well Josh is still huge . Out of all these members I didn’t know much about them until Rated R. I miss Nick on bass. He was crazy.
really interesting, much like the beatles or pink floyd, quality bands go through a spectrum of sounds influence and ideas, compare radioheads first, middle, and last album, compare the white stripes, qotsa, any of these bands, they all make such huge noticeable transitions in their sound over a decade or two, but subtle from album to album. its the human element being represented in their music, as the person(s) they are also changes
@@BigHotSauceBoss69 Yeah the lyrics also got a little bit more 'vulnerable' by the last albums. There are some beautiful ballad-like songs on Like Clockwork and Villains. Although many fans tend to stick with the first albums, which I understand, I also dig the latest albums.
QOTSA in '98: the potential. How JH's voice transformed! Flashes of dry Homme humour too, in front of the boringest music audience I've ever seen. They needed more schnapps, at least.
I’d recommend any fans of Alfredo Hernandez check out his work with Across The River and Yawning Man. He was with Mario Lalli in both of them, and Scott Reeder in the Former.
@@MEATFACEFILMS Jon was always the most consistent aspect of early Mars Volta along with Ikey and Juan (hope he recovers swiftly from his recent accident, bless that man's soul). While Omar and Cedric got high on their own egos, they kept the ship together. I mostly lost interest after Jon quit, it took me years to realize it was because his contributions were essential to the band.
He was very precise and fitted very well with the robot rock stuff they were doing, for sure. Not guilty of overplaying either. When I was first learning the drums their self-titled album was one I could jam to fairly easily.
pocos imaginaban lo que iban a ver esa tarde, uno de los mejores momentos de la banda. casi desconocidos, presentándose al mundo quienes hoy son leyendas
Really Josh Josh Homme is the man of the band, after years, same vocal, stage presence. Regular John I heard it at a show in 2019 after 20 years! it's the same thing. QOSG is amazing, congrats Josh!!!
Proof that Alfredo is the only drummer Queens has had that can keep his shirt on.
and jon
lol hahaha 😆 🤔😁
But is he super focused? Where is Alfred?
Also their best one
with good reason.
The drummer is my uncle alfredo
kai hoffman Your uncle is an amazing musician.
Is your unc doin any projects with anyone at the moment? Hes a rad dude.
Johnny Asher thank you
ask him if he can play drums on my album.
Really? Your uncle is an amazing drummer!!
Crazy to think this was a three-piece band at one point.
+Lunarimoths and all used to be Kyuss.
The self titled had Alfredo Hernandez as their drummer, as well as some guest musicians on some songs. Josh did guitar, bass and keyboard.
Which I never knew until now, so darn good !!!
They were in rated r and lullabies and era vulgaris (nipple infection album)
They were that when they recorded
...and could have continued healthily as a 3-piece..
In 1998, he was like like Marty Mcfly. You won't understand this, but your kids will love it!! 🤯
The most shocking thing here, is that Nick Oliveri is actually wearing a T-Shirt!
Alfredo is locked in. Nick's bass sounds molten. Josh was extremely talented right from the beginning. Great line up!
Well he'd had plenty of experience with screaming trees and kyuss
But is he super focused? Where is Alfred?
It's just 3 years after he played here with Kyuss in 1995 and that's the same Ovation guitar. This is fucking surreal.
Wow I'm 40 and a novice guitar enthusiast and had to ask about this guitar on another video just the other day. How long has he kept playing these?
@@geromelegnome5446 i hope you can traduce this cause i dont speak english :(
Josh en su epoca de kyuss hasta varios años despues con QOTSA ha usado estas guitarras Ovarion.. se que en USA son bastante "baratas" a comparacion de otras de su competencia, y para mi tienen un sonido muy unico y que Josh lo adopto para su estilo. Saludos!! sigue tocando porque nunca es tarde para nada ;)
@@geromelegnome5446 He played an Ovation Ultra GP from the beginning of Kyuss until around the Lullabies to Paralyze era, i think
Alfredo is a great drummer. He's so tight. Fit perfectly with crazy ass Josh and Nick.
Fit I don't think he were
The best
But is he super focused? Where is Alfred?
@@marvinlima1414smart u isnt
Alfredo Hernandez gave such a unique sound to this album. Legend. I had no idea they made kick drums that big!
28" Alfredo is huge! A little kit would be hilarious!
Josh looks like a kid..miss the 90s..coolest decade ever
25:40 KYUSS!!!!
Josh: what?
Fans: KYUSS!!
Josh: oh, kyuss. Lol
hahahaha F#cking hilarious!
The funny thing is they played You Can't Quit Me Baby right after, which is the most Kyuss-sounding Queens song
Back in the day there was a really active QOTSA tape trading network all over the world. We would all send each other CD-Rs of bootlegs, in the MAIL.

And then roll right into you can’t wut me baby lmao
That was fucking hilarious hahahahaha
where the fuck is my mexicola
This drummer is so laid back in the groove. I love it!
it's really cool to see this performance because the audience watches without understanding who they are, but they were witnessing something very special being born and being a sound reference years later. here were only 3 in the stage
I was there and at this point a big fan of Kyuss, I knew who Josh was and had a good time :-)
Josh's singing has improved a lot wow.
You can tell he's just starting to test his vocal capabilities here.
He sounds like what I normally sound like trying to sing a qotsa song 😆😆
i think the mixing is really fucking him over here. everything sounds pretty awful.
I preferred it on this album
It has, but maybe it had to do with stage monitor sound being shit during the first songs because it's when he sung out of tune the most.
And so it began. Now in 2014 still kicking ass and making top notch music.
Um, it's 2017.
"2 years ago"
Somebody can't read.
CRAZEDDUCKling um somebody can't count, its 3 years ago
Jay Callery Time Flies
4 years ago
6:46 Omg the bronze makes me chills everytime, these fucking epic jam feels like a show of Kyuss again in 98, much influence after 3 years.
25:40
Crowd: KYUUUUUSSSSS!!!
Josh: What?
Crowd: KYUUUUUSSSSS!!!
Josh: Oh yeah... Kyuss...
The beginning was much like that scene in Back to the Future she Michael J. Fox just started playing mad solos and everyone in the audience was petrified. You can tell everyone's trying to process the future.
nope, they are just germans.
@@SirIroningMan Underrated comment.
@@SirIroningMan idk, watch the Kyuss Bizarre festival concert. They were goin MAD hard and mosh pits were happening.
This was the start of something incredible. Keeps getting better and better but I always come back to the original quotsa album as my favorite.
Man I wish I were just a few years older so I could've been there from the very beginning.
This band is just soooo tits.
I love them from their old stuff to their new.
NoahTheJerySpringer feel you
this lineup was basically kyuss minus john garcia lol
+notbenny Fredo and Oliveri were never in the band at the same time
+ogznog true true
This lineup is basically Kyuss without 3/4 of what made it great.
i agree. kyuss was and is legendary. josh homme kinda sorta fucked john garcia. kyuss forever!
Did anyone here go to the Kyuss "generator parties" in the desert? :D
That's what I call a power trio, damn that's good stuff. So simple, yet so fucking good.
3:34 - love the way she dances
Nick Oliveri was such a badass. Great stage presence and playing!!
Still is
THE greatest rock band that ever existed.
Black Sabbath.
But greatest rock band of the 21st century easily.
This really captures Queens at a time when they are just starting to light it up. I had a sbd copy that I turned alot of friends onto. I mean, 'The Bronze' is just off the rails taking a life of it's own! Everything I love about live performance.
The most chill crowd ever, everybody is cool and everybody is fine. I just want to hang with then and smoke one.
Homme still working on his melodic vocals - The guitar sounds gritty and rough cut - Drumming straightforward and driven...They still have the lightning in the bottle! Love them and this shows to prove that they really were and am still now digging deeper than ever! Love it!
Watching this video I can see Josh has improved a lot as a vocalist. The control he has over his voice now is impressive :)
Much better hair now too!
The best live version of Regular John that I have heard.
Nick is a fantastic performer, so sincere, best version of tension head I've seen!
Hernandez was a beast! !!
no shit on his game!
Best lineup and love The Bronze, favorite song from their self-titled album.
This was the best incarnation of QOTSA. When it was three quarters of Kyuss. Nick Brings that Meth Rock Desert Punk aggression, Alfredo brings the Rhythmic psychedelia of Yawning Man and Across The River, and Josh had not yet gone Hollywood.
Josh was the driving pulse that kept them productive.
best line up ever!! I want this back!
+Pulseband YES CASTILLO, HOMME AND NICK
+ANGEL JUAREZ the drummer is Alfredo Hernandez, not Castillo
YES LOL
I dont get how you could say that's the best lineup. Fucking Troy adds so much to the band
yeah man troy is awesome and a great addition to the band every since he joined! but i just like the "rawness" of this three piece constellation a bit more! haha just personal preference ;) cheers!
Respect to Nick for his commitment during Tension Head. Superb!
Killer guitar tone-- Love It!
love this raw rendition for Give the mule
So good! Goddamn.
I honestly think this was one of those situations where the crowd is watching intently.
josh kinda reminds me of the cartoon hercules
Hahaha I actually see that as well!
OMG! Ive been into QOTSA for 15+ years and always thought Josh had a familiar look but could never put my finger on it.
Now I cannot unsee it. Totally cartoon Hercules!! hahaha!!
FUCKING YEAH! KKKKKKKKKKKKKKKK Igualsinho mano! Looks like the same!
LMAA-
He reminds me of johnny bravo now
The magma Nick pours in his amp to get that prehistoric tone -- can you get that from any ole volcano, or is it unique magma from some specific magical volcano.. perhaps at the bottom of the ocean or on another planet..?
Love your theory boy
Nick and Alfredo are the shit!
cocaine and speed...
The volcano from the prehistoric age is called Ampegasauras!
I think Nicks vocal on tension head is one of the greatest rock vocal performances ever here.
I’m thinking the exact same thing. This band still is awesome but this is like what queens is when I think of them.
That's an excellent version of If Only.
Just saw them in LA. 25 years later QOTSA is still my favorite album of theirs. That dark, heavy, pummeling sound was somehow light and airy.
I just might see them live in a month if I find the time and money. Weird to think that I'm just a few years younger than their self-titled album, on which I can't agree more with you. Crazy stuff.
Funny, these folks don't even understand what they are watching. Saw this tour in KC a long time ago, I have not stopped listening since. Seriously, THE smartest album of modern Rock n Roll since Abbey Road in my opinion. I know, I know, "your drunk, shut up" but yea

Best rock band of this millennium and it’s not even close
Always one of my favorite queens concerts to revisit. Love seeing the self titled era stuff
The Bronze is the fucking shit!

I like Michael Shuman, but I'd give anything to see QOTSA tour with Nick one more time.
Alfredo*
Damn straight. Joey sucks.

The fuzz in this Video it's Overpower fucking awesome guitar AND bass Sound 🤟🤟🤟
Queens in their purest form.

So strange to see them perform in daylight. But it was a hell of a gig I remember watching It on Tv. RAW!
THE BRONZE!
!!!!!
germans in 1998 weren't ready for that guitar sound!
QOTSA in '98: the potential. How JH's voice transformed! Flashes of dry Homme humour too, in front of the boringest music audience I've ever seen. They needed more schnapps, at least.
I swear to god Josh is 12 here
Lol. You should watch some of the old Kyuss live footage from like 1991. He must have been 5 yrs old.🤘
13 actually
Josh stepping up, grabbing the reins and kicking some ass!.
No Mexicola? :(
If Only is one of their best songs! It sounds specially badass during this time, for instance on the kyuss/qotsa double ep. Dat shit nasty!!
Damn dude, fucking early qotsa was something else
Shows again what a great talented artist josh homme is ..... what a guitarist ❤❤❤❤
20:40 that blue shirt guy has the moves lol
Josh so into that Walkin’ On The Sidewalks intro jam, almost forgot to start singing 😆
Whatever you have to say, this a seriously respectable power trio only in it's early days....
Ese año los escuche y empecé a seguirlos... 🎶🎶👏👏👏🇦🇷🤙
Ah bueno pa saber, XD
No te creas prroXD
Can't not watch it all the way through! Mesmerising performance! ❤
I miss Alfredo Hernandez's drumming.
In the band Avon these days, decent drummer
He is awesome.
Yes but having Jon motherfuckin Theodore is nothing to complain about. Hes amazing with Queens, and he was amazing with The Mars Volta. I love him
I’d recommend any fans of Alfredo Hernandez check out his work with Across The River and Yawning Man. He was with Mario Lalli in both of them, and Scott Reeder in the Former.
@@MEATFACEFILMS Jon was always the most consistent aspect of early Mars Volta along with Ikey and Juan (hope he recovers swiftly from his recent accident, bless that man's soul). While Omar and Cedric got high on their own egos, they kept the ship together.
I mostly lost interest after Jon quit, it took me years to realize it was because his contributions were essential to the band.
Ovation Ultra GP, only a couple hundred were made until 1984. He owns 3.
3 dudes, that's it, wow what a set!
Fuck, "Hispanic Impressions" was BADASS.
Squalla1 I love the part where everyone starts cheering, then the song kicks in again and it sounds so damn blown out.
the best drummer the band ever had imo
Mo Savage dude I agree
Ghrol?
He was very precise and fitted very well with the robot rock stuff they were doing, for sure. Not guilty of overplaying either. When I was first learning the drums their self-titled album was one I could jam to fairly easily.
Drums on the mule are so fucking sick
pocos imaginaban lo que iban a ver esa tarde, uno de los mejores momentos de la banda. casi desconocidos, presentándose al mundo quienes hoy son leyendas
Love this version of QOTSA... heavy... Oliveri is a beast! =)
Gotta get out & get right!!!!!!!!!!!!
Badass drumming!
Josh Homme was 25, Nick Oliveri was 27,
and Alfredo Hernandez (drummer) is probably around their age back then (couldn't find the information)
definitely younger and more energy
It's so cool seeing them harmonize though gives me chills
That first album tho. Thanks for the post!
2017 and the crowd is still trying to figure out how 3 guys could make that much noise..
The Perfect shot 29:23
probably tripping balls
Man that’s opiates
My favorite lineup from QOTSA!!
Until today I never watched Alfredo and wow, how a beast of drummer.
A mixed between Joey (power) and Jon (class).
I love seeing how great bands started
Really Josh Josh Homme is the man of the band, after years, same vocal, stage presence. Regular John I heard it at a show in 2019 after 20 years! it's the same thing. QOSG is amazing, congrats Josh!!!
I find this set addictive. Nick and Fredo, goddamn.
That's a dope version of 13th floor. So much energy!
Josh straight after Sunday mass
"Hello. My name is Josh Homme. 'Hom-E'. Yes, I would like to apply for the position advertised in the newspaper."
Just stumbled onto this awesome old school show complete with Fredo on drums \m/\m/
Alfredo is fucking great
