Hanging Tree is written by Alain Johannes for The Desert Sessions in 2001. He’s also cited as personell on Songs for the Deaf. Such a legend. This song has his fingerprints all over it. The 5/4, the melody, the chords, the guitar.
I was thinking something akin this whole time! i thought, hey this reminds me of Euphora Mourning by Chris Cornell, come to think now, Alain Johannes played that whole record, so it makes total sens! thanks for the info (3 years later haha)
“Hangin' Tree” was originally written by Alain Johannes and Mark Lanegan for a Desert Sessions album (which it was released on), but Mark Lanegan’s vocals apparently made it so good it was included on the masterpiece Songs for the Deaf. -From Genius. The Mark Queens Era is unbelievably good. Was always hoping Mark could come back and do tunes with them. RIP Mark
This song is about the hanging tree in Ellensburg,WA where Mark Lanegan is from. There was a lynching there in the 20's where a mob stormed the Ellensburg jail and hung a farmer and his son that had committed manslaughter. I walk past that tree every day on the way to work.
1st time i heard this song was when i 1st heard QOTSA like 6 yrs ago when i bought "songs for the deaf". it made me go back and find everything they ever made and i love ALL OF IT, but i really think this is my favortie QOTSA song, period!
If you listen to this song, there are no drums... Literally, Nick Oliveri is holding the entire beat together... Much together.... I think Queens are in the same category as Zeppelin or The Stones..... Pre 2003.... A Real Band is Indescribable..... And this was one. Show them their Flowers..... They deserve it..
One of my favorite songs of all time. Ten years ago, I wasn't even aware of Queens, Mark Langdon, Desert Sessions or any of Josh Homme's music, but by pure luck - or possibly divine intervention, a good friend of mine burned me a few CD's, that included the Them Crooked Vultures album, and a love story followed. Now days, I rarely listen to anything else. I love everything Josh is involved in, because his music is truly amazing! 🖤💯
@@squaddie67Sorry for the bad spelling. And Mark, God rest his soul, is surely aware that I would never disrespect his name, or anything else about him, for that matter. I love his music, and think he was one of the truest voices of our time. But something else Mr. Lanegan also knows, is that my entire life had revolved around my love for music, and especially those bands & artists that aren't in the limelight. So anything that I post publicly on the internet, will always be positive, or I don't post it, period. So this could have been the first ever 😢non-positive post from me. But it's not my job to troll the comments of others, and try to correct, or give them a piece of my mind for simple mistakes. If that was my gig, I could do that 24/7, because even the best of them make mistakes. And like some well-known dude once said; Let the one who has never sinned cast the first stone.
a song about a hanging tree. No one, and I mean absolutely no one in the whole wide world could sing this song, except Mark Lanegan. Perfect gravely vocal
I believe this may be my favourite performance of any song ever! I've listened to this well over 100times over the years & every single time I come back to it I get a huge shiver down my spine when that opening bass riff kicks in with the twang of the lead of it. It's a seriously beautiful thing. QOTSA for life!
I'm in love with Lanegan's voice, and have taken a couple of cues from him when it comes to singin with my band. I have never enjoyed perfoming more than i do now.
less is sometimes more...great simple riffs this song...but its always about the melody over the top of the music that makes it all come alive...just a great writer Josh...love his feel...thanks for letting go and showing us your depths...awesomeeee stuff Queens..
Tsarina Mccowat Alain Johannes wrote this song, but you’re right. I write better melodies over simpler progressions. A lot of my songs are kinda busy musically, much harder to write melodies for because I don’t like singing the same melody as the busy music has, so it’s a challenge to counter it. Love Queens. Too bad more bands of today don’t have their sensibility.
What voice we lost... Rest in peace Mark
I love the different voices of Lanegan and Homme. Perfect harmony!
you are absolutely right. It is like the music and the voices softly touch your skin !*****
Ohlala!
***** Ahhh, dat was smooth! xD
Yeah.. they get each other. No egos.. just sound.
Lanegan is no longer with QOTSA 😢 R.I.P. You will be missed, Mark.

Alain definitely deserves a whole lot more love.
How is it that there music just sounds like the desert? How is that even possible, to capture that atmosphere so perfectly in music?
Blacklava I was just thinking the same thing, and then I saw your comment...
Blacklava their*
Just listen the doors
alain johannes 97 % hangin tree
I'll take your word for it, never been to the desert so.
Mark is a vocal god. I went to school with him and I can say you knew even back then. "This town is to small for me"
You went to school with him? What school did you go to?
DominikLederhas He's making it up.
Jeremiah Foxdie
I dunno about that.
J. foxdie why is it so hard to believe that Mark had school friends?...

The best QOTSA line up... Plus, this was the Grohl era.

Much together....
I think Queens are in the same category as Zeppelin or The Stones.....
Pre 2003....
A Real Band is Indescribable.....
And this was one. Show them their Flowers.....
They deserve it..
Mark's voice is just spectacular, really unique and so good to listen to

I just wish you gave Mark Lanegan the respect he deserves and got his name right.

Tom Waits' lil' brother...Jeez, Mark Lanegan sure is awesome.
the harmonization between Lanegan and Homme is unbelievable. beautiful rendition of the song.
Totally. Most wicked track ever ...darker because of Lanegan. This is the first time I've heard this song acoustic! Bad-ass.
a song about a hanging tree. No one, and I mean absolutely no one in the whole wide world could sing this song, except Mark Lanegan. Perfect gravely vocal
Josh's somber harmony is just mesmerizing.
Lanegan...
No words for his voice...
I believe this may be my favourite performance of any song ever!

I'M A HIP HOP AND R&B DJ IN LOS ANGELES, AND I LOVE QUEEN OF THE STONE AGE. ONE OF MY TOP TEN FAVS......
Stop shouting...LA sucks now unless you're new to the scene, then you'll never know.

The only place I want to be right now is standing between Mark and Josh, singing with them.
Their voices really are in pefect harmony together.
RIP Mark 😭

You are excellent, really great audition video. Man some great drummers out there

Gustavo Almanza
Totally! I thought it was Will Farrell! I’m so in love with Homme 🥰🥰🥰🔥🔥🔥🔥
Awesome harmony! amazing song
Perfect.
One of the best performances ever!
Mark’s vocal comes in here like a bag of gravel being dragged down an old road. ❤. RIP
in my opinion, this is the best QOTSA line up, i miss lanegan, he made songs for the deaf
best voice in music today !
Mark Lanegan stands among top 5 rock vocalists ever. That will never change for me. And this video simply justifies that opinion.
