Like a Drug - Queens of the Stone Age

[BM151]

I could this track on a Robert Rodriguez Movie soundtrack

[kingoftheswing000]

@BM151 Totally !!! it would fit in perfectly with his style...

[xrockmusicloverx]

@theduerklam me too

[peacelovemusic2461]

i used to be the biggest queens fan ever i owned everything by them i owned all their unreleased shit too, then i went through a sort of rough patch and started listening to elliott smith and got heavily into him and kinda got away from listening to queens and kyuss and desert sessions, eodm etc. i just got back into qotsa and this is one of the first songs i listened to, after how to handle a rope and fatso forgotso

[kshay89]

@peacelovemusic2461 Start from their first album and work your way down. You won't regret it.

[peacelovemusic2461]

@kshay89 oh trust me id never but i actually already own all their albums, and i own the old version of the self titled, things fucking killer, the riff to mexicola just melts your eardrums

[12321Walrus]

Is this an alternate version or IS there an alternate one? I have one on my ipod but its different than this...

[12321Walrus]

@12321Walrus /watch?v=dxE9EFMZu0g

Thats what i was thinking of

[sheburnslikethesun]

@12321Walrus

there is a desert session version of the song

[2000eclipse3g]

Queens of The Stone Age is the solution, AND answer to all lifes problems! beautiful music

[Levente20]

how can someone write so many good songs like josh? GENIOUS

[balzackify]

This is song one on their album raraties

[balzackify]

Great lonely bar song

[foolofatook84]

One of the ultimate sex songs...

[rztronic]

I FUCK LOVE THE COMBINATION: WEED+DRINKS+QOTSA!!! YEAH, QOTSA IS MY DRUG TOO!! BETTER, IT'S MY MEDICINE.

[rztronic]

how could a fuck tard join this page to dislike this masterpiece. Go to hell if you're one of that fuckers. 

[EazyOleMiss]

love this album, anyone got any of their older stuff they wana refer me to? D:

[RushAnthem69]

Not quite as good as the Desert Sessions version, but still amazing, as always.

[patgerzan]

i can't find a site to download this song and i really want it i bought the album and it did not come with this song

[jimmo70]

beautiful song

[millertrip]

i like it cuz it reminds me of the doors.

[5sagen5]

my favourite song :)

[antipop84]

Such a Terrintino sound, love it. Awesomely versatile band :)

[3adCompany]

reminds me of the doors :D

not the usual qotsa sound but I like it

[thelittlearmadillo]

you took a ring and pawned our love away/what can I say, I am left behind/so I take a drink, another cigarette/I can’t forget that you once were mine//What can I say?/I guess it wasn’t meant to be/but now you’re gone/it’s just, your love is like a drug

[therealnapster94]

the best thing you can listen to while walking home about 4.30am in a warm night.

[williiamm23]

@therealnapster94 i know what you mean. feels epic, like Tarantino-Epic

[19Rocker98]

@therealnapster94 lol yea

[punktuss]

I guess it wasn’t meant to be

Now you’re gone,

It’s just, your love is like a drug

[chemangel]

I fucking love this song♥ Amazingly beautiful.

[Timoth1983]

Wow, Ive never heard this version of this song.

[pennydesouza]

Mesmerising - utterly beautiful.

[SaraSadeghian]

ala showed me this. like if she showed you too

[DustyElephant]

Reminds me of Pulp Fiction when Travolta is driving his car high

Just awesome

[Kurdtttt]

who is on drums at this track?

[hyperbassi]

@Kurdtttt

Joey Castillo

[Kurdtttt]

@hyperbassi I still wonder that he can play this way, this is real groove!

[sanjurodog]

Is it just me, or does this song make slow, passionate love to your mind?

[kanserstyx]

@sanjurodog it's just you... and me :D

[sanjurodog]

@kanserstyx frightening. lmfao

[Sartas23]

it fits so good with me and my situation...i love it

[Blxxdyhellzz]

Omfg sooo bored after listening this song xd

[sanjurodog]

This song is the perfect drug..to lull me to sleep in a wonderful, calming way..

QOTSA, Naturally!

[ruairaidh]

It's interesting, I like Homme's voice better on the Desert Sessions version but the instrumentation feels more fleshed out on this one. I can't decide which I prefer.

[lzLivez4Ever]

@ruairaidh Both of the versions are great in different ways. So i prefer both.

[karnicericimo]

This song ain't from Queens Of The Stone Age.

It is a great song, compossed by Homme at '99 in the Desert Sessions, it's between the volumes 5 & 6 I think.

Great song!

I recomend you all to listen to the Desert Sessions.

[suspenceist]

@karnicericimo

Yeah!

[McFlyYouSlacker]

If Elvis were ginger and alive today, he would sound like this

[afin73]

@McFlyYouSlacker Er i don't reckon so.... Elvis was blond and showed as much musical and creative imagination as you would expect from a blond who dyes their hair black

[300daysandnights]

@afin73 woah woah woah, don't hate on elvis, he's at least a decent artist, unlike the stuff they play now on pop radio stations.

[videospaz10]

Pure sex

[aaabbbeee]

I'm making a pact with myself, to do all I can to loose my virginity to this song.

[maldo06]

@aaabbbeee great choice!!

[maldo06]

@aaabbbeee great choice

[BlazeTheChronic]

"The UK version of the album has a couple of songs we won't be seeing on the US release" "The first song, 'Like A Drug' is elevated from one of the Desert Sessions discs and sounds like a song recorded in the late 50’s or early 60’s; the cover of ZZ Top’s “Precious and Grace” is an intense, earthquake of a song. With Billy Gibbons and Mark Lanegan exchanging vocals, this one would have been the perfect bookend to the opener. The US release is poorer for the absence"

[blindone661]

sounds like (the doors)

[danzig5]

this is so doors . love it .

[L3dtube]

desert sessions ,with the guitars !?!! jep

or else it would be dessert sessions ,wich would also be kinda cool jeah

[Wildtail16]

to me this song is the king of psychedelia.

[JunkieBYtheRIVER]

this is from one of the desert session cds im pretty sure. not lullabies to paralyze

[sumvlac]

This song was on desert sessions 5&6 and the Lullabies to Paralyze LIMITED TOUR EDITION edition. The guy posting this has the wrong album cover.

Good song though.

[Vulnavia69]

Awesome song post! Thx A BUNCH!!!!!Fukn miss him madly!

[Levente20]

Queens underrrated? wtf are you talkin about?

[SupportiveGore]

Sexy as fuck.

[TaffyRaphie]

how do you get the bonus track???

[dendre45]

insane song, one of their best

[xXJoshzillaXx]

tThis is good but I prefer the Desert Sessions version. The guitar and the vocals fit each other perfectly in it

[TheBreakersusa]

Songs in this vein... You've got a killer scene there man, interlude with ludes, make it whicu. All just Josh at his sexiest. Girls definitely want to have sex to those songs.

[andreuthegiant]

the desert sessions version is way better than this one.

the dark-surf reverb tone is lost in this version.

[xXJoshzillaXx]

personally i like the desert sessions version better. sounds sadder

[casmiry]

it's a desert session song, wtf?

[Bethson]

I think this is pretty good, but I love the Desert Sessions version more :)

[sparkydeltorro]

girl, you'll be a woman soon.

[Opt1on]

Reminds me of the song that's playing in Dusk Till Dawn when Salma Hayek is dancing.

[CheQsn]

@Opt1on 0o

[RushAnthem69]

Ahh great song! Hard to decide if the Desert Sessions or this one is better.....

[HamsterDiamond]

Excellent!

[moirystoirm]

I love their CDs... but I've heard them live before and... it just wasn't good. Very disappointing. I still love them though.

[FriendFragger]

@moirystoirm

Yeah I'm not a fan of their live music either but they're still my favorite band.

[Cellbag]

Queens! Yeah!

[DarkFairy003]

Beautiful lyrics, hypnotic vocals, sexy guitar, good old-fashioned sound, THATS the Queens that I love!

[FrenchKissPersia]

@DarkFairy003

so true

[Son7Sam666]

How fuckin good are the queens??? Vastly underrated, probably the most versatile band around - bar none!!

[kratos74]

agree, totally agree, when stone temple pilots came to Mexico last year, i was spoken with some guys about who is the greatest band since last 10 years, and we all agree with the queens of the stone age, amazing band.

[TheSophist2007]

@Son7Sam666 I would remember they get alot of help from the desert sessions people as well and outside influences, its not just josh homme and troy

[300daysandnights]

@Son7Sam666 yeah i agree with you. but i can't decide if i like kyuss more or not. it depends what mood i'm in.

[cannabisabuser]

@Son7Sam666 You don't listen to much music, do you?

[10kamala]

@cannabisabuser Why would you assume something like that?

[BrixSnBs]

Big mistake not to put this on the original cd

[soNervig]

this is on a dessert sessions album (josh hommes side project), though its another version, i like this one better.

[gakk2590]

@BrixSnBs agree

[sauhund86]

yeea... sittin in a dark smokey bar and get drunk... lisen to this song and try to get over that women... youre addicted with...like a drug... good song

[EGOscience]

yeah, thats what hes saying in the fucking song, genius.

[sauhund86]

no really... thanks, may you need to get this feeling first ! hes not the only one, thats what im talking about....

[Totalmachine09]

Not really cuz he does'nt mention any smokey bar in this song and is actually seems to be talking about a lost love so ha! genius

[EGOscience]

Yes, thank you for picking out the one thing he doesn't talk about verbatim in the song. God, I want to body slam both of you stupid fucks.

[Totalmachine09]

oh shut up!

[EGOscience]

SQUID EAT YOUUUU BITCH

[93steven]

My CD didn't come with this song dammit! It came in my cousins though.

[vgkvgkvgk]

sounds like the doors awsome song.

[insanehl]

What... was this a hidden song?! i don't remember it.

[jagerfool85]

This song belongs in a Tarantino flick

[whatever9874927]

lol exactly what i've been thinkin

[NickR1212]

yh i think this has bin developed from flamenco with a twist of queens style drug rock lol

[xCRAZYandLAURAx]

i love the style of the song.

it reminds me of a certain style, i just don't know the name :D it's like ... "this sounds like something, i just don't know what..."

can someone help me ? xD

[mxaxgx]

It reminds me about the retro times. Like in smoky night club. 60s or sth like this. I know what you mean because i have similar feeling :)

[xCRAZYandLAURAx]

oh, yes, that's pretty much it :)

[campintom]

flamenco maybe?

[Josueg942]

ahhh this sounds like one of those songs you get high to!

i love it!

[TheBronzeKing]

Great remake of the Desert Sessions version.

[deelio777]

kinda reminds me of black magic woman........ the bluesy, sandy, deserty, orgy, softy, wavy, hawaiian, night-time love song-typey song. very powerful behind the soft guitar and bluesy bass.

FIGHT THE POWER!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[jemba80]

Stupendaaaaaaaaaaa........

[0Mexicola0]

polacker e äckliga

[xXMrMustardXx]

And your hate towards polacks has to do with..?

[0Mexicola0]

haha i just wrote it so see if i would get any answers:P

how did u understand that anyway?

[xXMrMustardXx]

hah, ok.

Well.. I'm a psychic :P

[nichonr95]

and from sverige

[xXMrMustardXx]

Haha, mabye ;)

[deelio777]

Love IS like a drug, good job josh. it can be addicting but afte taking too much it cant be great for you, in fact you could get high and loopy and dizszy and w/ love u get get dumped or somthing.

[S1N15T3R]
