1999. Never heard of QOTSA before. Went to the Casbah in San Diego to see Nebula. QOTSA headlined. Decided to stay. They opened with this song. They made that one chord intro rock out so hard it blew my mind. Fan ever since.
this track is so ... simple ... but so different and brilliant as well. They actually sound like they're from another place, another time, another planet ... fuck ... so good

We were fortunate enough to support QOTSA on their first UK tour. They opened their set every night with this. They kicked ass. Great band, great memories!
It's good but I wouldn't call it mind-blowing. It's literally just a pedal tone riff with basic accompaniment and monotone singing. Works well for the song, but nothing we haven't heard before.
@@a.n.t.94 it's not the technical aspect he is referencing. It's that primitive dna we have for amazing riffs. QOTSA is one of the best at reaching it. I dislike many of their songs but this and others like the Misfit Love intro really nail it.
@@VinnieDaidoneGuitar get an old ampeg Vtx-22/vt-40 with a treble booster with a humbucker guitar and your there. You just have to crank the amp to ear splitting levels.
One of they're finest records. I think Joshua needs to get back to his roots and make a dirty , raw album. Get grohl and Oliveri back and get a producer/engineer like Albini and give everyone a proper slap in the face😐 R.I.P. Lannegan.
Holy shit. I've been a QOTSA fan for a while, but never really listened to their first album. Then this banger comes on shuffle, and here I am hearing this song I haven't heard in years since playing Destruction Derby Arenas on my PS2. All these years I thought this was an original track for the game, never even occurred to me that it could have been from one of my favorite bands.
not at all mate, not even close. they are cool, yeah, lol, I only like this song of them actually...LOL, but it is really cool. I m a guitar player myself, i dig the riffs
@@richardhorrocks1460 in what fucking way are Villains and …Like Clockwork dad rock? AC/DC is dad rock. How the fuck do any of those two albums, laden with synths and piano parts, sound like dad rock? You’re talking out of your ass.
@@kanteishiva824 I haven't been keeping up to date with part 2 but I remember reading like 30 chapters initially, stopping and then binge-reading it all when it was finished. Amazing manga. 10/10.
My dad used to listen to this song all the time when I was a kid and it freaked the shit out of me, the guitar sounded so weird and scary to me at the time but now I fucking love it
i was like 13 when i discovered Kyuss and one month later the video for Feel Good Hit was released. I didn't know it was the same fucking guitar player and I love those bands to the bone still today. Cannot wait to receive thier reissue of the first record.
One of my favourite queens track. My dad first discovered queens on jools Holland in 2001 I think? And they played “millionare” my dad bought the album that same year I’m not sure if the album was out when they had been on jools Holland but he bought the cd not long after it was out I think and he even still says to this day that’s album that will never become boring to listen to. He don’t listen as much anymore but he had all queens cds they ended up being scratched up but I’m buying them so far anyway happy to have grown up with an incredible band that have influenced my writing of music.
No matter how much I play this song it never gets boring coz it’s so infectiously groovy and really heavy, like a cross between Black Sabbath and ZZ Top!!!
Heard this tune as a teenager. Loved it instantly. Wanted their second album so bad I got a paper round but after working a week I was still a quid short so I quit. True story.
Oh God! I'm listening now this vinyl, the red version with the cover by Mark Gabor, THIS COVER, and RUclips suggests me this song! Double win! Great album.
@@tonymoran7938 bless you ☺ I now have hope. Appreciate the heads up! Thought I'd have to be a creep and show up to eavesdrop desert sessions in production for some kind of fulfillment
Yes it’s a pretty cool song I’ve been following y’all since your other band but I like how you came out of the shadows and became the lead singer way to go🤘🏻🤘🏻🤘🏻
Whenever I wanna listen to this song, I hit this link. Not only because that moving graphic is sick, but because I just feel weird looking at the album cover this 😂
i remember hearing this song and Qotsa first time while watching viva la bam's episode on mtv when i was teenager. (It played only few secs on that episode.) I was immediately hooked because it sounded so different, "raw" and unique.
Finally I found this song! It´s been in my head for years, since the legendary episode of ´No Reservations´ with Josh Homme. Can´t think of a better track to start a road trip. The beginning of the song resembles a car accelerating fast after turning the ignition. Epic!

Very cool. Would have loved to see the original lineup.
So hard...have a fun!!!
The brilliance of QOTSA is their lack of promotion. It's like a secret we're always sharing- sort of.
I saw them in New York City in 2002. Excellent show.
Can't wait for the new album
I still remember the first time I heard this. Totally hypnotic!
When was that?
@@WhyTheHorseface five days ago
I have it on once or twice a month as a pallet cleanser for the ears …..tuff as F
Same here!
But it was probably the copious bongs that did it.
Porra! Eu também!!

LYRICS
Who are you girl?
Who are you boy?
Bet I know what you're up to
Can I come along?
Your home number on the wall
I just had to call, had to
I'm not the only one
Who will run with a knife
Open up your eyes
Open up your room
Open up your arms
One, six, two, seven, eight
Two, six, three, seven, eight, nine
Where's your daddy now?
I heard he ran away
Who are you girl?
'Cause I'm so bored with myself
Anyway, anytime and any place
I'll just hang around
Open up your eyes
Open up your room
Open up your arms
One, six, two, seven, eight
Two, six, three, seven, eight, nine
Open up your eyes
Open up your room
Open up your arms
Open up your door
Open up your eyes
Open up your room
Open up your arms

That they opened with this last night was the most transcendent experience of my life.
Queens rocking the Shwiggity can't believe
I refuse to believe this is turning 25 years old next year! Still sounds so fresh!
It’s timeless
The desert preserves everything in cycles.
Damn when this came up on my notifications I thought they dropped new music. Love this song though.
🤞😊 💙
Me too. LOL
They must be soon….
Please bring this back to the live show on a regular basis. It's too good
Yes!
Austin City Limits
Bring Nick back too....
This band is in my top 5
The band is easily in top 2, and let me tell you, it's not number 2
This band is in my top 1!
It's in my Top 1!
@@rufusonemamzaho4011 I feel that deep in my soul
Top No.1
My first qotsa album was rated R, I remember seeing this in the shop a few weeks later and picked it up. Still Tremendous.
Same. The Lost Art of Keeping a Secret was my gateway song and I bought Rated R that week, then I quickly started buying their other albums.
QOTSA, Kyuss, Melvins, Alice in Chains, Soundgarden, Acid Bath, Nirvana, Fu Manchu, CKY, Helmet, Clutch, L7, Prong, Local H... All I need.
Don't forget Captain Fartball
TOOL?! 😤🤘
DEFTONES?!😔🤘
That is a great assessment so versatile
Agreed needs Deftones on that List
Another amazing track. I love the chorus of this song "Open up your eyes,open up your room, open up your arms,open up your door"
this is the best guitar sound ever
Absolutely. Josh Homme has my favorite guitar sound ever and it's almost impossible to recreate.
A c chord never sounded so great 🙏

R.I.P. Lannegan.
Albini and Homme would be a vibe...
Mark lannegan?? Has he died??? The guy from The Gutter Twins too? I’ve got some googling to do….
Oh daaamn so he did die, had no idea. Saturnalia’s one of my favourite albums ever. Rip Mark indeed
100% mate 🤟
It would be epic. Someone tell this to Joshua, please...
One of their many best songs! Still get nostalgic from seeing this on Anthony Bourdain’s show in the desert, such a good episode!
one of the first QOTSA songs I heard, been in love ever since
This song is so easy, I learned it first time, but so effective. That riff is iconic, Joshua Homme really is a genius!!!

It’s crazy how I was listening to this last night driving home from Palm Springs and then all a sudden all these reissues drop!
Bruh, I jam out to this too but I live somewhere else in the desert. So proud these guys are from here
I remember hearing this song before and after many terrible decisions, I would never take back any of them
Honestly, if you asked me to take the ethos of QotSA and boil it down to a single sentence, the above post would do pretty much perfectly.

i was like 13 when i discovered Kyuss and one month later the video for Feel Good Hit was released. I didn't know it was the same fucking guitar player and I love those bands to the bone still today. Cannot wait to receive thier reissue of the first record.
I jammed this in early 2001, driving through the Nevada desert. When I passed through Reno, I was about halfway through.
Still simply one of the absolute best, beast of a track.
Ah, Destruction Derby Arenas used this as replay soundtrack, such a great game and made me fell in love with Queens.
I just seen an old Gamma Ray 7" clear vinyl ep on auction at e bay. Wow! That was them before QOTSA. Really cool release!
So nostalgic! Love it!
I don't know why man's calling me family all of a sudden.
Best band in the world!
No doubt!
Yes, that's right.
Best album ever! I love all their albums but this will always be my favorite!
Damn... This song still give goosebumbs today.
Thanks Josh \m/

What a great song. One of the very few bands that I must see live.
First time I've heard this song. Brilliant riff.
Josh Homme says this is the song he is most proud of. It's hard to agree when the entirety of Songs for the Deaf exists.
Best queens album by far. 25 yrs later
The only song you'll ever need. ❤
Incredible song, this album blew me away the first time I heard it. What a a band
We need a new album. I'm ready .....ppppppp please@!!
Best opening for an album ever!
Brings back memories. Amazing song
The fact This song inspired man by skepta is mental
They played this the first time in since 2018 at Portland OR! I was at front row from Dean and Troy for this! What a special night it was!
was not expecting them to suddenly rerelease all of these on their RUclips channel. Sick!!
Must be a new album coming out soon.
yeah this is it right here chief. This one. thanks for the sick track i can blast my whole shift
No matter how much I play this song it never gets boring coz it’s so infectiously groovy and really heavy, like a cross between Black Sabbath and ZZ Top!!!

First time hearing this song and love it
Barely got into QotSA about 5 years ago. This album is the last cd i bought soon after. It helped me through some bleak times. ✌️&❤️💛💚
The OG cover is iconic tho.
i thank destruction derby for introducing this song to me as a kid :)
I literally just heard this song for the first time on Spotify maybe 7 hours ago and this video just got uploaded 17 hours ago!
Great times for the Queens to be back. We need this. Thanks JH and Co. for this. #QOTSA
What a song/album👌
“Recipe for the perfect road trip: a nice car, the wide open roads of the desert... and some good music.” -Anthony Bourdain.

I go into an anxiety attack when I hear this up loud.
