queens of the stone age - battery acid

[Labzo441]

Such a bad ass song.

[mortalengines65]

fuck yes!

[revelwoodie]

I like how they each have their own rugs. Mr. Rollins is a gracious host.

[TCVfan1]

Josh's teeth look great in this.

[TheBrandonBear]

Who's that douche on the bass? :/

[jbasinger4]

@TheBrandonBear I dont see a douche playing bass in this video.

[boxcutterbiff]

Dean-o's piano makes this song more fun

[ZeekeKontroller]

Are those some Persian rugs they're jamming on? Stylish.

[MrPutsini]

WTF!! Is Troy without their red gigant guitar??!!

[TheDavidNolanChannel]

That "woo" from Josh was pathetic! :O

[gaith05]

one of their greatest songs ever!!

[fenderjackson73]

wooo troy be rockin that solo

[SuperFZL]

3 masochists didn't get their turn.

[skeleton316]

i want his guitar DX

[McFro95]

ROBOTS! ROBOTS! BRAINWASHED BABIES! BLOOD FROM A LEECH... SPOKEN RABIES!

SPASTIC! PLASTIC! BATTERY ACID!

YANK ON A LEASH... DRAGGING YOU BACKWARDS!

AND MY CLOSED EYES NEVER SEE IT COMING!

[BUZZUBUZZU]

COOLEST DRUM BEAT!!!

[zzoot]

The new(er) bass player is damn good! great addition

[yovioleatuzorramadre]

I know, Shuman is a very good bassist, I think he fits in QOTSA way more than Alain cuz alain is more like a special collaboration inteast of a permanent member...well thats just me.

Also, Mikey backing vocals are amazing like the oliveri ones.

[RhysOzzy182]

Josh plays guitars with style.

[KristinaBrooker]

REACT

Pen is position opinion

[Baumannzz]

Time and time again I'm reassured in my belief that this is most likely QOTSA's strongest lineup ever.

[spicyMcHAGGIS9green]

I don't know dude. If they had Nick back it would be way better. I'm pretty content with Shuman on bass though.

[saaalut]

the strongest was in 2002 with dave and nick

[JHo4God]

@saaalut nick - yes, dave - no. lol joey > dave

[KillVision133]

@Baumannzz The only thing missing is Olivieri :(

[blahblabish]

@Baumannzz I guess you missed their first two albums.

[novelo013]

they atre amazing, the best pure rock in this time!!

[davidddries]

josh has an ugly guitar here

[OfTheWillows]

Eh, not really that appealing. Harder more nuanced riffs can be found in Power Metal. =D

[dopplerdoesnotlikeu]

era vargus is the worst album. it's just not as hard core as it's soposed to be

[FuckingHollywood]

Because that was josh's "fuck you" to the mainstream, and took it in a different direction. Honestly, I love that album to pieces.

[DOM5153]

im sorry but thats stupid, it not there best album but its dAMN GOOD

[janegorda]

jisuis! josh lindo!

[PHONZE45]

is david grhoul still druming in this video and do the queend of the stone age hate the foo fighters no plz reply

[aostereo]

no dude this is joey castillo they changed drummer 2 albums ago... and they are not pissed. Homme even has a nnew project with dave Grohl its called them crooked vultures... chem em out theyr sick!

[blackflag277]

no he not he only drums on songs for the dead and he did some touring that joey queens has had a lot of members and no they dont hate each other josh is in a band with dave there both very nice ppl they could never hate eachother

[CowbellFanatic]

No, Dave Grohl drummed for QOTSA on Songs for the Deaf. Josh Homme and Dave Grohl are friends and are playing in Them Crooked Vultures together.

[dopplerdoesnotlikeu]

no!! its Castillo

[loranceb]

mmm this song makes me warm in the pants

[ralekriver]

Gooooooooooooooooooooooooo....­

[StinkiwinkiPoo]

its a ltlle bit to fast

[beatisagg]

this song rocks my fucking brain to mush

[bennejos]

what guitar is josh homme playing?

[fo0dus]

air guitar

[jonasbacklund]

teisco, a japanese guitar

[ubanare]

Drumming is wicked.

[labor2]

fantastic song!! can you post a real hd version?

[RigorMortisItrium]

I've found the source of QOTSA's huge succes! Josh is wearing the Pick Of Destiny on his neck!

Each band that went to become a hipernova of rock music used its powers!

Awesome band and an awesome amount of insane music! Rock on!

I think I used to many exclamation marks...well, I had a damn good reason for it.

[afirckspro]

Yes THE PICK OF DESTINY lol

[Rodneymullenfan71]

No matter what Eddie Van Halen says, Do not boil your strings.

[jonasbacklund]

the intro and beginning of riff one is to die for!

[PhilloBaggins]

QOTSA. RRHOF.

[TommyTheCommi]

Yeah the Misfit Love they preformed on the Henry Rollins Show was also tops, they also have some videos of them playing in Reeds, so if you haven't seen those i suggest you do, they are amazing.

[xLARRY2x]

sacootoe like a hoe

[Golfshooter]

good to know there s still good music being made these days!!

[Michael112112112]

which guitar does the lead singer have?

[foogrrrl]

it´s joshua homme and I don´t know

[demonizer6663]

Anybody know what kind of guitar Josh is using? Doesn't look like his custom Maton guitar...

[skymaster95]

its a gibson riper

[h1soka]

im gonna research.. but it looks more like a Fender headstock

[h1soka]

well.. i researched and the Gibson Ripper its a bass, actually the one Shuman is playing here

[maximusv1]

It's a Tempo. Google Image search "Tempo Guitar" It's from Japan.

[h1soka]

thanks dude!

The one Troy is playing is also a Tempo?

[maximusv1]

Nahh Troy's using a Fender Jaguar. My favorite model of guitar ever :)

[h1soka]

hat an ass i am... didnt even checked the guitar just looked at the headstock briefly

[pantsfilms]

yeah man fender jaguars are sick i gotta white one :)

[maximusv1]

Nice!

[h1soka]

BTW, found almost nothing on this guitars... just a few acoustic... Josh sure knows his shit

[iamLizardJohnny]

the red guitar josh is using there is a 70's teisco, they seem to be using them alot on this/that tour. he also uses a few maton hollowbodies.

usually playing through an ampeg svt II with some vintage ampeg cabinets.

that's about as much as i know. :)

[h1soka]

i found out a while ago about that, and now that i check my grammar it was horrendous I:(

still couldnt find not one Teisco for sale

[moppatoppa]

Spent a while looking for these guitars, found out that it's actually a Tempo, a Japanese guitar made during the 60s. Very similar looking to those Teiscos though.

[FreedomFighterUK]

He (Homme) recently had a Tiesco for sale on Ebay. Linked from their Facebook. Honestly, no joke!

[h1soka]

In the Rekords Rekords Treasure Chest, right?

Don't know if those are his or from the forum members

[FreedomFighterUK]

yeah, there was a link to a vid of him using the guitar, I'm not sure tho' I just presumed it was the one on the video.

[jonnyrocketballs69]

how much did it go for?

[FreedomFighterUK]

Last time I looked it was at $650, but that was at the very at start of the bidding. I'm guessin' it would've been in the 1000s. People pay thousands for Ovation GPs even though they are crap guitars (not aesthetically) because Homme used one so I'm guessin alot of ££££s, lol.

[cangiuoc]

Great song!!

[skymaster95]

he plays such complex riffs on the guitar sometimes and sings at the same time!!!!

[Thrashermetal1234]

there such a talented band and very good live too.i stiil can't believe how he plays that and sings.

[NEURONALSPLIT1]

cool

[burnabee12]

these guys are so good live

[WENCU]

I like it. Nice song.

[darwinator12932112]

wait is it me or isnt the bass called an L-5?

[PattyHernandez]

it's a gibson ripper

[Fordy196]

i cba too keep arguin it dont say gibson on the head mate

[Fordy196]

r u sure wel gibson ripper ent as good as them!

[werewebrave]

They're two completely different beasts... I still wonder what Tobias model this could've been, they really look nothing alike.

[Fordy196]

letsburnjillings- its a tobias very cashy tho dude :)

i got 1 amazin bass play

[werewebrave]

No it isn't, it's a Gibson Ripper. NOT very cashy, actually. Underappreciated bass.

[LetsBurnJillings]

Hey, anyone know what bass he has? It's fucking awesome

[vixx]

dude, Josh's new form of ass-kicking singing is awesome.

[BluBel123]

One of my fave. songs,& good performance!

[fezef]

airbourne is hell lot better

[Skatermandudeguy]

then dont listen to to them if you dont like them...

[SilverTrinity101]

Qotsa are fricken awesome

this is my favorite song by them

[CabooseP47]

I keep coming back to this youtube video to listen to this song. The recorded version is crap compared to this. And seriously, you must be living in slow motion BananaTrumpet cause that looks completely natural to me.

[purefites]

acutally during live performances, QOTSA do speed up some songs, very slightly though, enough to notice.

[skaterbelicus]

yeh QotSA speed up some songs but u can tell this has been sped up by something like windows movie maker i kinda have to agree with BananaTrumpet a few comments down

[lasdjflksajlkfjsalkd]

I know what you're talking about. I think on the album version, volume on the keyboards and the lead guitar are way to low. All you can hear are Josh's voice and guitar, bass, and drums.

QOTSA are only one of a handful of current bands in Rock N' Roll, that are actually any good. It's quite the dry spell we are in.

[WhiteStripe333]

Kick ass, I also think the Misfit Love performance on the Rollins Show kicks too.

[BananaTrumpet]

This both looks and sounds slightly sped up, what the hell?

That movement is not natural.

[CabooseP47]

and omg josh's face is priceless when he sings!!

no im not gay

[CabooseP47]

I love the starting O.O and love how he spikes the ride on every bar

im gonna be learning this on my drums :))

[BeyondZeGrave]

Sounds so great live.

[BeyondZeGrave]

Sounds so great live.

[Xtreme2252]

what guitar part is the lead singer playing?

[IMFagentSamFisher]

Rhythm, I think. Troy, the guitarist with the black hair, is doing lead.

[DRIZZY2005]

sex- I just creamed a bit...This is by far my favorite line up they jam so well together and yea Josh in the frontman but everyone else pulls their own too, so kick arseness.

[goteam6791]

robots robots brainwashed babies!

spastic plastic battery acid!!

love those lines!!!

[amnesiac05]

They pretty much killed it

[leazngurl]

Mikey is tossin' his hair liek a moherfucker!

[fonnyface]

Can somebody tell me what this song is about, I like, have been looking all over the place for some kind of interpretation.

[mulbert6]

I think it's about sadomasochism.

[leviv06]

what does that mean?

[Xtreme2252]

basically dominance/submission, and basically stuff along those lines

[ylonmc]

you should never been born

[mulbert6]

well if you listen to the lyrics, it would make sense...

[Lasarus89]

I dedicate this song to who used to be my best friend...(bich!)ò_ó

[MountainDeww4]

1:51-1:52 is cool

:)

[alternativefandotcom]

Joey bangs the hell out of those drums! He ROCKZ!:)

[ppdbss]

This was great.

Live performances are one of the main reasons why I enjoy this band so much.

When you buy a ticket to go see them, you know its going to be one hell of a night!

[Largehippo]

I love the breadth of the queens, unparalleled in contemporary pop culture.

[ericaviolet]

fuck, unbelievably good. keyboards rule.

[45molkstreet]

lovein it!!!

[leviv06]

omg so good but they played slightly too fast o well...Spastic plastic battery acid

[WKUK2059]

Hey Leviv06 thanks for the Band members cause i saw them in the album with burn the witch in it (i know the name but can't think straight right now lol) so thanks i gotta remember them Troy Van LeeWan, Joey Castillo, and dang can you tell me the last one again

[leviv06]

to be honest with you i dont know who was in the band then they change too much

[fallstel]

Lullabies to paralyze man!

[assitch6]

fantastic drumming + great performance.

thanks posting mate

x

[Chaseyboeyy]

Josh has THE best live voice!

[goteam6791]

COULDN'T AGREE MORE!

[leviv06]

so true they are just so fantastic live how do they do that?

[MsS3lfD3struct]

Josh's voice...

and then Troy, Joey...

This song kicks ass LIVE!

[RyanBow412]

I love the way the guitar sounds at 1:17

[crackakilla]

this live version is just as fucking good as the CD version, vocals and drums are spot on

[96thTear]

Josh is the only contiuosu member, period.

[WKUK2059]

If any true up to date fans can tell me this i want to know all the band members names besides Josh Homme ( the singer, guitarist )i use to stay on top of it way back when Dave Grohl and Nick Oliveri were around but please reply

[r1ckola]

Ok so the second guitarist is Troy Van Leeuwen (joined during the Songs For the Deaf era), the bassist is Michael Shuman (formerly of Jubilee and Wires On Fire),the keyboard player is Dean Fertita (touring keyboard player for The Raconteurs), and the drummer is Joey Castillo (joined during the Songs For the Deaf era)

[leviv06]

what happened to julian casalblancas

[r1ckola]

He is not a touring member, but to my knowledge he did play on the album, on Sick, Sick, Sick

[leviv06]

thats the only song he played on? man i like that guy they are confusing they need to make their band permanent

[r1ckola]

No promises, but Josh said this might be the first time he makes a qotsa lineup permanent....so only time will tell. Personally though, I don't think he'll do it, it'll kind of ruin the essence of what makes them the queens

[johnnyfree]

robots robots, brainwashed babies

[ps3sucksassballs]

the bassist is rocking too hard. doesnt fit in

[ElineuhTapir]

drrrragging you backwards

^^

[goteam6791]

this song makes me move my head up and down in a very slow way....and then my shoulders...and my whole body....ahahahahah queens of the stone age!!!!love it

[leviv06]

josh is like beat red

[leviv06]

does josh have an epiphone sg?

[ps3sucksassballs]

that looks nothing like a sg/ only thing in common with that is that its red

[leviv06]

oh it was just the angle i was looking at it then

[fight4freadom]

the bass players bass is sooo frikin ugly

why the hell is it sooooooooo big

[cousingrim]

fuck you

[leviv06]

lol thats what she said

[CrazyMongo]

lolz

[olihall91]

bass player just doesnt fit the characters of the other stoneage members, looks and acts like he should be in metallica or something

[AkilesJose]

Its the way he enjoys his music.

And remember, hes trying to bring something original, hes not trying to be the Next "Nick Olivieri" or something like it.

[tchurps]

UNFUCKING BELIVEABLE!!!

[purefites]

boy do they suck

[pwnsw0rth]

LOL you say qotsa sucks, yet you like anime! ROFL!

[nerdgant]

im sorry i dont know what the hell was going on with me, this shit does fucking kick ass!

[purefites]

dont know what got into me, this fucking kick major hard ass!

[FeliiDude]

I agree with you 100%
