@@iplaywithrocksforfun nah he sounds fantastic right now and has been able to perform every song extremely well since they’ve been back on tour. You’re literally the first person I’ve seen since they started touring again who’s said he doesn’t sound great
He’s always sounded really good but getting sober and quitting smoking has definitely helped, he’s sounds phenomenal these recent shows. It’s really great to see him so happy and healthy up there after all the struggles he’s had. This lineup’s chemistry is absolutely insane, doesn’t get any better than this, Josh/Troy/Mikey/dean quad has been performing now 16yrs and it really shows because they truly sound as tight as ever, pretty much flawless, Jon has now also been their drummer now a decade and he’s amazing, longest tenured drummer, every member is actually the longest tenured in the bands history for their role/instrument in QOTSA. Anyway I’m rambling now but this unit is next level together. Best live festival band on the planet currently and just one of the best live bands in the world in any setting
@@puppetmaster8551 he’s literally never sounded good live since maybe the very beginning of their career, his live technique is horrific, you cannot honestly think him struggling with ‘pills’ at 0:42 sounds good, he is clearly straining the hell out of that note
its a really old song, at the most prominent festival for music in the UK - it seems its not about the music anymore - people singing at the festival is more important than showcasing new music. Sad. really.
I love how Josh adapted this song to where he is now. Instead of trying to hit some of the high notes that he got in his youth, he finds ways to make the vocals more dynamic and soulful within his range. This is what lets a musician age gracefully: learning to accept technical limitations as an invitation to innovate.
Dave Grohl really was so right when he said it's just unfair to see them live because of how good they are. I feel like you can watch any one of their live shows and they're so incredibly consistent every time
I had the opportunity of seeing them live a few years ago in Argentina opening for the Foos... it was the only time in my life when the support band was better than the main act! This is definitely one of the best live bands out there right now!
I’ve seen a lot of big bands live but these guys really are the undisputed kings. Even the drunk Josh from 6 years ago was better live than anyone else.
I disagree because I saw QotSA when Homme was all fucked up and they were awful. Glad he's sorted himself now and it looks like they haven't skipped a beat!
I remember going to a "Eagles of Death Metal" concert many years ago and I think Joey Castillo was drumming for them at the time, and when they came back out for the encore, Jesse said "I want to bring out my good friend, Baby Duck (Josh Homme) for these next few songs". Josh came stumbling out on stage with a half-bottle of vodka still in his hand, and sat down behind the kit. He then proceeded to shred through the 3 or 4 songs they played for the encore like it was nothing. It was one of the coolest things ever to see. I knew that he played drums on their records, but I had forgotten about that before he came out on stage and I was thinking "WTF is he doing on the drums??". He is one talented mofo!
I saw them live in the wrong venue - King's Hall in Belfast - big concrete shed with shit sound. It was totally forgettable. It wouldn't even have made my top 100 list (if I had one).
I was front row for this and i cant even begin to express how amazing it was. The music was awesome, the atmosphere was just perfect and all the people were so nice. I loved how towards the end of the concert the whole crowd became a moshpit. It was definatly the highlight of the 5 days I spent at glastonbury. Watching them mad every pound we paid for the tickets worth it and im soooo happy they decided to play at glastonbury. I will never get enough of them from now on!
It is just unbelievable how insanely professional this band had gotten over the years, they consistently peform at a master level. THAT is musicianship right there. I absolutely LOVE their live performances.
Among the loudest for me too, and super clear. Just fantastic. KISS back in the 90s, Baby Animals, My Bloody Valentine, and Ace Frehley solo were all up there as well for being loud. But the undisputed kings of loud was Motorhead back in 1991. My ears rang for three days after that gig. It was like being assaulted for two hours, my internal organs felt like they had moved. Like they had worked out where the sound pressure was high enough to actually hurt physically and were just a smidge below that. Ye gods it was EPIC.
@@shaunrobertson1064 Yeah Kiss became a sad parody of themselves in later years, the reunion tour in 1996 was pretty great though, Ace and Peter were back, the makeup and costumes was back, the big spectacle was back. For the few months of that tour the magic was back. And like I said, it was LOUD. Saw them again in 2000 on the "farewell" tour (if only it was), still pretty good but Peter was already gone and Ace was about to leave for the second (and final) time. Not quite the same. Ace still puts on a good solo gig, no airs and graces, just an honest rock and roll show played LOUD.
For now you should watch their performance at Hurricane Festival, it was great: ruclips.net/video/YmxajSyMdeE/видео.html It was only about a week ago, and as it's part of the same tour, I would imagine the setlist would be very similar to what they played at Glastonbury.
This just shows that Mikey and Jon totally can hang with the work that Nick Oliveri and Dave Grohl did. Both the bass and drums sounded perfectly on point, this is the BEST rhythm section Queens has ever had. Both insanely good musicians
Heck! Michael has been playing guitar since 9 years old, bands from upper elementary school thru high school. Switched to bass at 14/15 years old. There was a podcast called Harsh Toke with Matt Fathouser (childhood friend and Evan L. Weiss (childhood friend, bandmate Wires on fire, currently tour guitarist for Sparks). On one of the episodes, Michael is the guest and they have a cool conversation. Another episode has Dean Feritia as a guest. Dash Hutton is on another episode. Dash played touring drums during a Mini Mansions tour : A Guy Walks In a Bar. Then Jon Theodore played the second half of the tour. Jon Theodore has an interview on a podcast with Dean Delray around before Villains was released. Drums since a teenager.
We can not leave out Joey Castillo on drums on tour and for Songs of the Deaf and Lullabies to paralyze. Era Vulgaris. That perfection smash Misfit Love on IFC The Henry Rollins Show.
They can hang but they're not Nick and Dave. And I know Jon is a technical player and an animal. Listen to some of the live shows from '02 and then tell me this is as good...
Fucking brilliant performance. Best of the weekend by a mile. They sound huge too, all instruments perfectly mixed and clear sounding, nothing is muddy or over saturated. Props to their sound guy!! Josh’s voice sounds amazing as well. QOTSA are getting better and better with age. Really good to see a crowd with some movement and enjoying the music instead of a sea of phone camera flashes too. Like watching a performance from 20 years ago in HD.
Now 76 and only just discovered them fully. Wow , what a band. Can see why Royal Blood was inspired by them. I rediscovered them on the Glastonbury tv performance. Why i am here now.
@@stephensweeney9370 dog if you google “The Hives” you will literally see critical acclaim for their live shows. They’re absolutely in the conversation
Yeah I was just thinking this-if I would hear this on the radio or a spotify playlist today it would still sound as fresh as ever. It's mad to write something that good.
Can we all appreciate how happy they looked to be on stage with that crowd Must be an amazing feeling to be back when gigs weren’t happening before due to covid
The best live festival band ever, it’s wild how absurdly good they sound every festival. I understand sounding amazing on your own tours but it’s crazy to sound so good every festival.
Yes , spot on guys. I saw them in Tulsa Oklahoma in their early days, and they rocked the piss out of the place. Incredible sound. Easily the best live festival band.
@@John-zt6yw yup they’ve always been an absolutely killer live band, they honestly sound as good or maybe the best they ever have currently tho. Josh sounds amazing and is sober and stopped smoking and this lineup has been together a long time now so they’re pretty much perfect, legit probably the tightest they’ve ever been and that’s such a high bar because they’ve always been one of the best live bands on the planet
@@WillyJuniori'm not what you'd call a big Elton John fan but he's a British music icon who has been relevant for 50+ years (yes most of from the 70's and 80's but still). The only people in his league are Paul McCartney and David Bowie and one of them is dead. He has dozens of world renowned hits and this was his last UK show...ever (or so they say) and it was quite a show. You can see QOTSA for decades yet. Point is even Josh knew they were up against it.
@@WillyJuniorMick Jagger too I guess but he's not a solo artist and if they played Glastonbury Josh would reguse to play next to them so he vould watch them live.
@@kevtb874 Yeah, I would've went to Elton no doubt. Not because I like him better, but because he's among the great living legends playing a show that had "historic" written all over it. It was the place to be. Qotsa are great but they play a lot, if you follow live music and go to festivals you'll catch them eventually. Elton was a once in a lifetime show.
My god, I was there and the whole set was incredible! I've been to 11 glastonbury festivals and these guys put on the best show I've ever seen! Just mind blowing in every way 👏 👏
Unfortunately for me I have just discovered QOTSA, how unlucky am I to have missed out listening to this band for too many years, they are absolutely one kick ass great band, no maybe's. if;s. or but's, they are supremely talented. Better late than never I say.
Every time I come back and watch this performance (yes it was that good), this vid has like 100k more views each time. I'm so happy to see them getting the love and attention they deserve. Josh Homme truly is a rockstar and every member is a badass.
I love that Josh seems to really love playing this song now. I feel like he resented the song's popularity in the past. He didn't even play it when I saw them in 2007.
Just had the privilege of seeing them in Queens, NY on tour and holy fucking hell it was amazing. Cannot wait to see them again, hopefully on another tour or huge festival where they can play way longer, this is a band that needs to have a 2 hour set
This crowd was live! Amazing . . . & that was only the 1st song of the set!?! QOTSA sounds great . . . Looking forward to seeing them stateside in Oct.
The most unbelievable happiness - your bands maturing with you and still rocking it and still being them true selves. This song is 21 years old, and I had it among my first mp3s on my first computer.
Josh Hommes and the band from my hometown of Palm Desert,CA.They still live in the area and do a lot of charitable work and donations in the community!❤
You know you're awesome when thousands of people pass on Elton John's final UK performance to come see you play..... its a decision I'd make every single time.
I saw Mars Volta last week and no disrespect to their current drummer who was perfectly capable and had his own style - but he wasn’t a patch on Jon (or Thomas Pridgen for that matter)
@@autopilot980I mean..... he's used pretty well. It's about that mix of feel, skill and aggression. Not many can do it right. Sure he's not hitting his skill ceiling but clearly he fits the brief pretty perfectly.
Just saw them in Perth not too long ago. I wasn't even super in to them but I'm so glad I went. The mix was astonishingly clean and they were tight as. Absolutely groovy set
I’ve seen them with Homme sober and falling over drunk. All shows were incredible and the only time it was evident Homme was hammered was between songs when he went political. They’re just one of those bands that after all these years, kills it everytime. Love them, can’t wait to see them again.
I saw QOTSA over 20yrs ago at The Big Day Out in Sydney, Australia. I maybe 20+rs older and a full leg amputee, but I can they still get me off my ass moshing around my lounge room!! Been a mega fan since the beginning, and their music has got me through really tough times (all I lstened to when I was really ill and lost a kidney in 08 was QOTSA). It gave me the drive to keep living and each day another machine was turned off til I was breathing on my own and walking around again. They are badass buggers who are bloody awesome and I will always be so thankful and grateful they've been a part of my life!
It's such a crazy thought to know that I was introduced to not just this song, but this whole band through the first ever Guitar Hero. Never gonna forget just how blessed I was to hear this for the first time, the riffs, the groove, that bassline! It reminded me of a wicked rock song for Abes Oddysee (random comparison, but if you pay attention to the game soundtrack, the basslines are quite similar)
They were just epic and my is one of the top ten sets I have been at, at Glastonbury and this was my 13th... I was on the viewing platform and the sound was fantastic. Just amazing.
That was quality, Josh's voice sounding amazing, but also the interplay and how the band play around with the arrangement of the songs. I'm not one of these people who utterly detests bands using backing tracks and triggers, but this shows the potential magic that can happen when you play completely live. Major kudos for an excellent performance
Wishing I could still get hold and listen to all of this again. Sadly it dropped off BBC Sounds about a week ago. 😩 The sound quality of the whole gig was second to none.
I saw them live in the US in August. And now I can’t stop looking up every live performance video of theirs. ❤ one of the best shows I’ve ever seen. They’ve been on of my favorite bands for over 20 years.
Jon Theodore has quite the CV. Imagine being fortunate enough to have played in two of the greatest live bands ever. QOTSA and Mars Volta, both absolutely killer live. Saw him with Puscifer too. Phenomenal drummer.
A decent sound mix would have been a good start, everything was buried under Josh and the bass. That's watching on my crappy old phone, better systems may get better results lol
I wish these guys produced more if only even one live recorded album. With the right crowd that shit would easily compete with any of their standard releases
That team have it nailed down. Everyone knows their role and underpinned by slick delivery. They are by far the best live band on the planet today. Josh's guitar levels are the best in the business at present.
One of the THE performances of the weekend. This tune was a banger and the rest of the set was top notch too. Shame, it went under the radar due to Uncle Elton being on the Prymaid at the same time.
@@menshevik1012Viagra boys were sooooooo goooooood. Can see them getting huge if they have the right backing. I know they've been around a while and I'm not saying "getting huge" is even a good thing for a punk band but I can see it happening. So tight live, but still got that rawness and they've got some bangers.
Nunca vou superar vocês não terem vindo ao Brasil a expectativa foi tão grande, enfrentei quase três horas de fila pra comprar o ingresso e vocês cancelaram. 😭
I still remember the first time I heard this song. It’s one of the greatest rock songs ever. QOTSA are also one of the greatest live bands ever. With all of the different members they’ve had. Nothing can ever touch songs for the deaf. It’s a master piece.
I was in that crowd in Brixton, fufilling a long held ambition to see Manu Chao live. Trouble is, it was such a buzz, now I'm addicted, and need to see him again.
His voice is so awesome live. Whole band sounds great.
Not really. He doesn’t hit any higher notes from his younger years. Once you hit 50 that vocal range just dies

Considering the 2000s to present doesn’t have a lot of unique standouts, this most certainly is a contender for best modern rock song.
They are unique it's why I love qotsa

That fucking RULED, I laughed so hard.

Every time I come back and watch this performance (yes it was that good), this vid has like 100k more views each time. I'm so happy to see them getting the love and attention they deserve. Josh Homme truly is a rockstar and every member is a badass.
It's now the most viewed of the Glastonbury clips from this year, the people know what we want and it's Queens of the fucking Stone Age
the gift that you give to troy 🖤 no one knows~
I keep coming back to watch this every now and then, it's beyond perfect
Of all the songs I've watched from this year... this is by far the best live representation & performance of a track...
I love that Josh seems to really love playing this song now. I feel like he resented the song's popularity in the past. He didn't even play it when I saw them in 2007.
Just had the privilege of seeing them in Queens, NY on tour and holy fucking hell it was amazing. Cannot wait to see them again, hopefully on another tour or huge festival where they can play way longer, this is a band that needs to have a 2 hour set
I love them making old songs interesting to keep them AND the audience hyped. Well played
There's a reason why people refer to Josh as "the Ginger Elvis"
What a VOICE!
What voice!
Because of his facial features, because his voice sounds nothing like Elvis
He also rivals Elvis's heroic intake of drugs and alcohol.
I see him more like Bowie.
@@oscarpuertas0especially with the new album, 100% bowie vibes
This crowd was live! Amazing . . . & that was only the 1st song of the set!?!
QOTSA sounds great . . . Looking forward to seeing them stateside in Oct.
2nd last song
Go with the flow was first, absolutely pumped
The most unbelievable happiness - your bands maturing with you and still rocking it and still being them true selves. This song is 21 years old, and I had it among my first mp3s on my first computer.
Best live band ever
They’re all telepathically connected on that stage and 2 steps ahead of each other
@@trulyunoriginal haha that’s the point
Their tightness and performances are that good, that it makes no sense
Seriously one of the greatest rock bands of all time, PERIOD.
Josh Hommes and the band from my hometown of Palm Desert,CA.They still live in the area and do a lot of charitable work and donations in the community!❤
You know you're awesome when thousands of people pass on Elton John's final UK performance to come see you play..... its a decision I'd make every single time.
You know nothing...
@JManners10 do the thousands of people who went to seen Queens instead of Elton John also know nothing?
@@sij6169 your picture is john snow... it was a joke
@@sij6169rekt
Glad to see John Theodore have a gig that gives him the area to spread. Sounds great!
That was The Mars Volta.
He's underused in Queens tho
I saw Mars Volta last week and no disrespect to their current drummer who was perfectly capable and had his own style - but he wasn’t a patch on Jon (or Thomas Pridgen for that matter)
Pretty good for a chef...
@@autopilot980I mean..... he's used pretty well. It's about that mix of feel, skill and aggression. Not many can do it right. Sure he's not hitting his skill ceiling but clearly he fits the brief pretty perfectly.
Just saw them in Perth not too long ago. I wasn't even super in to them but I'm so glad I went. The mix was astonishingly clean and they were tight as. Absolutely groovy set
I’ve seen them with Homme sober and falling over drunk. All shows were incredible and the only time it was evident Homme was hammered was between songs when he went political. They’re just one of those bands that after all these years, kills it everytime. Love them, can’t wait to see them again.
Damn they sound incredible. Josh ages like fine wine
These guys are amazing live!
I sae them live a few monthes ago...best concert I've ever been to. These guys are so sick and the crowd was insane. We moshed to every song
I was there about 3 people back from the front!
Best set of the whole festival - the energy was unreal!
Tight yet but warm and powerful, legendary band that deserves top spot.
Yes!! That red looks so perfect. These guys are so rad.
How do they still sound so good after 20 years? Incredible 🤩
This performance is so good that the energy is coming off of the screen! What amazing musicians with insane timing!
Love this fabulous band fabulous crowd nice to see the smiles on the bands faces.
Saw them live in Toronto just a couple of days ago. Best live band I’ve ever seen, hands down.
I saw QOTSA over 20yrs ago at The Big Day Out in Sydney, Australia. I maybe 20+rs older and a full leg amputee, but I can they still get me off my ass moshing around my lounge room!! Been a mega fan since the beginning, and their music has got me through really tough times (all I lstened to when I was really ill and lost a kidney in 08 was QOTSA). It gave me the drive to keep living and each day another machine was turned off til I was breathing on my own and walking around again. They are badass buggers who are bloody awesome and I will always be so thankful and grateful they've been a part of my life!
It's such a crazy thought to know that I was introduced to not just this song, but this whole band through the first ever Guitar Hero. Never gonna forget just how blessed I was to hear this for the first time, the riffs, the groove, that bassline! It reminded me of a wicked rock song for Abes Oddysee (random comparison, but if you pay attention to the game soundtrack, the basslines are quite similar)
It was 3’s & 7’s off of GH3 for me, and now I flew to Brussels, Belgium just to see them this weekend! Insane band
It was Little sister playing in the rock station in midnight club 3 for me
They were just epic and my is one of the top ten sets I have been at, at Glastonbury and this was my 13th... I was on the viewing platform and the sound was fantastic. Just amazing.
Watched the whole stream on full volume, it was fucking amazing!.
Sound mixing was some of the best ive heard
Shame. They gave it the beans!
That was quality, Josh's voice sounding amazing, but also the interplay and how the band play around with the arrangement of the songs. I'm not one of these people who utterly detests bands using backing tracks and triggers, but this shows the potential magic that can happen when you play completely live. Major kudos for an excellent performance
This song has become timeless
Beautiful. Feels frantic and exciting but so in control at the same time 😍
FAVORITE BAND EVER!!! based on the view, qotsa has the biggest views 🎉 they deserved it best and beast band
By far one of the most underrated bands of the century
Best rock band of this generation.
he he..
hah Amen to that
Wishing I could still get hold and listen to all of this again. Sadly it dropped off BBC Sounds about a week ago. 😩 The sound quality of the whole gig was second to none.
Dude, still on utube - Enjoy their awesomeness,
One of the best gigs I've ever been! And near the front 😍 can't wait to see them again
I saw them live in the US in August. And now I can’t stop looking up every live performance video of theirs. ❤ one of the best shows I’ve ever seen. They’ve been on of my favorite bands for over 20 years.
Jon Theodore has quite the CV. Imagine being fortunate enough to have played in two of the greatest live bands ever. QOTSA and Mars Volta, both absolutely killer live. Saw him with Puscifer too. Phenomenal drummer.
Its great seeing Josh back to doing what he does best. Blowing the fucking roof off the Pyramid Stage
Greats rock and roll band !!!!! Dear from
Chile
Saw them live last month for the first time. They sound ridiculously good.
It was amazing.
I demand that drum cam footage, so we can see Jon Theodore groove and shred through the whole song.
I kept thinking...show the drummer! Show the drummer!
(It's probably too much to expect that the director calling the shots would know the song.)
A decent sound mix would have been a good start, everything was buried under Josh and the bass.
That's watching on my crappy old phone, better systems may get better results lol
It’s the dynamics in the songs. Perfect for a festival. The loudest band I’ve ever seen at Glasgow Barrowland….and I’ve seen a few
There's not a band at this level tighter than them
Muse.
Puscifer is pretty damn tight
@@PHTV11 they put on a great show, theatrically they can't be touched.
One of the most creative and brilliant songs I've ever heard. This live version is even better than the studio version.
I wish these guys produced more if only even one live recorded album. With the right crowd that shit would easily compete with any of their standard releases
Such a catchy riff , crows really into it , these guys are such bad asses
4:40 The gift that you give to Troy 🙂
LMAO 🤣😂😅
que grande batistuta!! idolo de la fiorentina y cantante en queens of the stone age.
Cheers Engineer! The layers on Hommes vox is incredible!
Undoubtedly one of the best bands around, and one of the best live acts too.they are brilliant 🤘🏼
That team have it nailed down. Everyone knows their role and underpinned by slick delivery. They are by far the best live band on the planet today. Josh's guitar levels are the best in the business at present.
I love the jazzy Parisian solo, and the unison doubling. It is loose and relaxed and so precise. Paradoxically: awesome!
Best band in the world right now, live or otherwise, period.
I love when he said, "sing it." No one said any words, the entire crowd just hums the tune.
Man alive I forgot how awesome this song is. What a performance!
His voice still omg right now....just wow
Can't say I'm the biggest fan of queen's so I've never seen them live. His voice is top.
One of the THE performances of the weekend. This tune was a banger and the rest of the set was top notch too.
Shame, it went under the radar due to Uncle Elton being on the Prymaid at the same time.
This and Viagra Boys were real highlights in my utterly meaningless opinion.
@@menshevik1012 research chemicals probs the craziest crowd i've ever been in, wow
@@menshevik1012Viagra boys were sooooooo goooooood. Can see them getting huge if they have the right backing. I know they've been around a while and I'm not saying "getting huge" is even a good thing for a punk band but I can see it happening. So tight live, but still got that rawness and they've got some bangers.
@@JamoonXerxesSauber totally agree 😁
@@jackprezo it looked it, hope you had a great time.
Great performance! I watched them 10 years ago and they still sound at their peak!
Seen them live a bunch of times, and they really do know how to knock it out of the park every time. Solid performance
Nunca vou superar vocês não terem vindo ao Brasil a expectativa foi tão grande, enfrentei quase três horas de fila pra comprar o ingresso e vocês cancelaram. 😭
I still remember the first time I heard this song. It’s one of the greatest rock songs ever. QOTSA are also one of the greatest live bands ever. With all of the different members they’ve had. Nothing can ever touch songs for the deaf. It’s a master piece.
Amazing crow ! And Josh seems so happy, lovely to see
Josh’s voice always sounds great!
“The gift that you give to Troy”
Simply no one knows 🫣
His skull shield ring?
Deviam ter filmado o Troy
I was in that crowd in Brixton, fufilling a long held ambition to see Manu Chao live. Trouble is, it was such a buzz, now I'm addicted, and need to see him again.
