QOTSA - Live (Jools) - No one knows

[93californication]

The tone on that guitar is sexy as hell.

[Wildchild880]

its easy to get this sort of music tight its boring

[ifilmandotherstuff]

Camera work was slightly over the top, but aided the portrayed this performance really well, and I would prefer Mr Dave Grohl on the drums, but fucking hell was this a good set by them! They rocked this soo hard and Joey Castillo is tighter then a badgers arse!

[denzprhd]

joey castillo is a mint drummer...soz peeps joey kicks daves ass,ive seen him live play wi various bands....majority of drummers play cross handed ,joey play with the advantage of usin open hands,ive been drummin for 12 years and i still cant do it

[MrThreshold2009]

@denzprhd Totally agree, Castillo runs rings around Grohl. He's got to be the most overrated drummer of the last 25 years.

For another great drummer type "Reni Hacienda" into YouTube search and watch the short clip.

[danielalien]

@MrThreshold2009

Not to mention Gavin Harrison.. THAT'S skill.

[uberglocken]

The best band ever to appear on this show....

[ChazzLord]

Wait, Nick's wearing a SHIRT? What happened?

[jeroQOTSA]

just PERFECT

[451harri]

Everyone arguing in the comments section is wrong.

[floatyfoofighter]

chill with that camera work wat the fuck

[JAMIEGRANTHAM32]

The first album I heard from these was sftd and I loved dave grohl drumming so I didnt like castillo but now I fucking love him and all of there albums and they also are my fave band and they are fucking amazing and every song they make is better than slapping someone in the face with a fish and I have seen josh homme in person he is the nicest tall bastard to ever walk the globe <3

[bamboosa]

@MrThreshold2009 - Finally someone has the guts to say it. I saw Cream, Hendrix, Beck, etc. so the standards for rock steady drummers were ridiculously

high to my teenage self. Quite simply, Dave is not rock steady. Mitch Mitchell was in a category of his own, and Ginger Baker was supernatural. I like the drummer in this video - no flash, just solid.

[pipandrew]

@bamboosa your not talking about Dave Grohl are you? because he is the most rock steady, hard hitting drummer in the world.

[nicostormUK]

@bamboosa I agree and disagree, for me people such as Grohl, Taylor Hawkins and Chad Smith, aren't always the most technically solid, or proficient, but all of them bring something to their playing, for me, that just makes them stand out.

[Dymondplaygyrl]

where the hell is Dave Grohl?

[markkalady]

THE PERSON THAT DISLIKED THIT VIDEO IS FUCKT IN THE HEAD FOR SURE

[2KEdward]

And Troy is just standing there like a boss, amazing.

[societyforrealmusic]

Saw Castillo he is an animal

[schumatrix]

Best riff of the last decade. Easily.

[pingola16]

Cmon'! give joey a break! He had just entered the band and u can see he isn't quite confortable as in other shows. He kicks ass

[ZombieSlayer93]

Guitar matches his hair quite nicely

[Rockdrummerfunk]

Dave and Joey are incredible drummers, but ind this song Dave is better. Much better.

[MrThreshold2009]

@Rockdrummerfunk I've never once seen any footage of Grohl performing this song which is even close to Castillo here. Grohl remains one of the most overrated drummers ever; he is good, but he is by no means "incredible".

[Dymondplaygyrl]

@MrThreshold2009 your a loser dont disrespect Dr.G

[MrThreshold2009]

@Dymondplaygyrl Firstly, it's "you're" not "your". Secondly, note how I classed Grohl as "good". I'm hardly disrespecting him - the staggering sycophancy he gets means he is classed as an all time great. He isn't.

So, you're a loser, you sad prick. Listen to some decent drummers, for fucks sake.

[jimmyredpant]

that start looked like no effort was put in. that is one of the heaviest things iv ever seen

[chiversify]

Joey and Dave are both awesome drummers, and they both bring something different to the QOTSA table, to be honest there both just sublime and as smooth as anything.

[gregmackey]

1 Idiot was here !

[michael38r]

Let's be honest about this. Whoever is behind the kit playing this album live is gonna have to smash the F*ck out of it, full stop! Castillo seems like he has it nailed.

[maclennan73]

I saw them with Castillo about 4 years back and it was one of the best gig s I've been lucky enough to see (I probably see a band a week), they were all brilliant......I can't personally compair to Grohl, but it seems like he's got other stuff to do...... Castillo will do nicely for me thanks!

[Waterfall64]

Castillo's brilliant on this; it's what the band needs, a savage but clinical drummer like him. Grohl's a good drummer but I've never seen him do this song with QOTSA and be anywhere near as impressive.

[bigyatla]

@Waterfall64 You do know Dave Grohl played and wrote the drums for this song don't you?

[Waterfall64]

@bigyatla Yes. Very nice piece of writing, too. But it says a lot that Castillo can play it better than him. I think Grohl comes up with the better rhythms, but Joey's just so fluid and natural. Different styles. Two good drummers, so no complaints!

[hitskin666]

The start is slow but the drums eventually pick up the pace a bit, you cant compare this to any QOTSA performance with Grohl on drums.

[MrShangtsung]

quien fue el weon? que voto pulgar hacia abajo avispate!!! aweonao!!!!.

The one who was the weon? That I vote(pass) for thumb down(downwards) liven up!!! Aweonao!!!!

[RedMansion]

wheres grohl?

[MrThreshold2009]

@RedMansion Given up drumming after seeing Castillo in action.

[SeansCool1]

@MrThreshold2009 well you obviously are a shit fucking drummer and no nothing about drumming you fucking idiot listen to the drums in misfit love, sick sick sick, 3s and 7s, go with the flow and try say he's not a good drummer you moron

[MrThreshold2009]

@SeansCool1 Dave Grohl is totally overrated. I've only ever listened, or watched, him do stuff which has made me think; "He is distinctly average." Castillo is better, and there are so many drummers out there who are in a different league. Get over it. Grohl is decent, but no more.

Also, it's "know", not "no".

[wulord]

@MrThreshold2009 I honestly mean no offense by this, but you don't know what you're talking about.

Dave doesn't play like Carter Beauford or Buddy Rich or Danny Carey or Neil Peart. Idk if he could or can't. But he plays the song SO much better than a TON of drummers out there. He's not trying to be known as a drummer, he's trying to play the song for the music's sake and he does it extremely well, and the only reason he's so popular is because Nirvana blew up in the 90's and he was the most

[MrThreshold2009]

@wulord Indeed, he doesn't play like the drummers you mentioned as he is nowehere near their level. I've played the drums for seven years, and his style is simply just to hit hard and heavy. Like a groove free Bonham. When you compare him to someone from his generation like Reni you realise just how average a drummer Grohl is. In fact, there is no comparison. I didn't take offence at what you said, and I hope you don't when I say you have no idea what you're talking about!

[wulord]

@MrThreshold2009 I've been playing for 7 years too.

Listen to Nirvana's MTV acoustic set and tell me that Grohl has no groove.

[wulord]

@MrThreshold2009 Now I'm not saying that Dave's the best drummer or any shit like that. But I don't think he's overrated. Reni's an EXTREMELY underrated musician. Hands down.

But Grohl plays Hard Rock fantastically. The stuff he did with Nirvana, Probot, and Them Crooked Vultures is great rock drumming.

[wulord]

@MrThreshold2009 talented musician in the group. And he continues to be so popular because of Foo's and to a lesser extent vultures. He's a good drummer but a great musician, but a lot of people don't think about it like that

[SeansCool1]

@MrThreshold2009 IM TALKING ABOUT JOEY CASTILLO NOT DAVE GROHL YOU FUCKING MORON!!!! haha trying to make me look dumb because i said 'no' instead of 'know' haha you fucking prick it says 'no' on the name of this video you fucking cunt hahahaha

[MrThreshold2009]

@SeansCool1 "well you obviously are a shit fucking drummer and no nothing about drumming you fucking idiot" - An extract from your first message, verbatim. This is why I highlighted your use of "no", it had nothing to do with the video title. It's fundamental English.

[MrThreshold2009]

@SeansCool1 And besides which, this revelation that you were talking about Castillo is utterly contradictory. You had replied to my message which read; "Given up the drums after seeing Castillo in action." With a major onslaught. Now you say you're defending Castillo, not Grohl? So what was the point in your belligerant response? I guess these things confuse your feeble mind. Are you inbred or something? Oh well. Couldn't have happened to a more deserving person.

[SeansCool1]

@MrThreshold2009 well you obviously are a shit fucking drummer and no nothing about drumming you fucking idiot listen to the drums in misfit love, sick sick sick, 3s and 7s, go with the flow and try say he's not a good drummer you moron this was in 2002 alot has fucking changed

[tigercity72]

fucking mindblowing..

[reallynaked]

joey castillo is a great drummer don't diss

[BlowDeBloodyDoorsOff]

You can bet Ghrol played it too fast when he played it live too. I am really starting to hate arm chair musicians giving out about guys who do it FOR REAL. Unless you are as successful or more so, then the guy yo are slagging off, you can't slag them off. If Joey is up there on the kit, it's because he is up to the job. If Ghrol wasn't in Nirvana, he'd be unemployed as a player, where as Joey has been getting payed for what he does for years, with out the hype a name like Ghrol' brings. Respect!

[MWR93]

@BlowDeBloodyDoorsOff Grohl************

[BlowDeBloodyDoorsOff]

@MWR93 Don't get me wrong, Ghrol is a modern rock great. I just wonder, had Nirvana not happened for him, if he would of kept going. He was always so into writing songs he may of left the kit for a while, wrote some songs and then missed his chance. It's irrelevant, seeing as he was in Nirvana. I'm basically saying much respect to Joey who has been playing a t a high level for years. He deserves to be up there. He's an animal on the kit!

[MWR93]

@BlowDeBloodyDoorsOff yeah i totally agree but what i was trying to point out is that you spelled Dave's last name wrong

ITS GROHL NOT GHORL

[BlowDeBloodyDoorsOff]

@MWR93 I'll drum that spelling in to me!! :) geddit?!? I'm here all week , try the veil.

[PurpleSurgeon]

queens are like always so fucking tight.. its like homme has got some army regime going on.. see em last night at reading festival .. they blew my mind

[funkbassboom]

when was this?!?

[TCVulture]

Joey is beast....I have one of his shredded drumsticks from EoDM concert

[Levente20]

@TCVulture i thought josh plays drums in EODM

[TCVulture]

@Levente20 he did what grohl did for queens. Drummed a bit but now castillo tours with them mostly

[reallynaked]

@Levente20 he did originally, joey has been playing live with them for years though

[SeansCool1]

looks like the light is blindin josh a little bit lol.

JOEY IS A FUCKING BEAST! what a drummer

[BlowDeBloodyDoorsOff]

@SeansCool1 Agreed!

[mr2gti]

Grohl adds a new spark to the performance... but nothing wrong with this performance - it's just Grohl.

[Redzz454545]

Ginger Elvis

[ztwinturbo13]

Grohl is a hard act to follow, think the boy done awlright.

[mrquaresma]

all i can say is amazing

[julesmasonlynch]

Joey Castillo fuckin' rules that shit. Saw them live about a year and a half ago, damn their set was tight. They were touring with Smashing Pumpkins, who were shit by comparison. I caught one of Joey's sticks that he tossed out too, it's now in the collection with Phil Campbell (Motorhead guitarist)'s pick. Keep rockin' Joey!

[ireternalexistence]

@julesmasonlynch How did you catch a guitar pick? xD Or did he give it to you?

[julesmasonlynch]

@ireternalexistence Nah, he tossed a few out into the crowd, most of them ended up on the floor, I had to dive down there to get 'em. Haha almost got trampled

[Rockdrummerfunk]

Dave Grohl is much batter than Castillo...

[secondhanddrummer619]

@Rockdrummerfunk batter? like cake batter? yeah, in that case, dave tastes more like cake then joey. learn to spell bro =o

[BazillusWolfenstein]

The New King is Born!

[mosquit0]

Joey Castillo was a pretty good drummer here, especially keeping in mind Dave Grohl set a high standard to that album. Joey leaves out a fill, probably because it is too difficult for him. =/ But the tv show performances are the best, I find that when playing festivals he is either unaudible (because of the mix) or just plain sloppy cos he just plays at one intensity, which is, high intensity =/ Changing tempos all the time.......

That was my rant for the day

[daisyvision]

You know, I forgot Dave was the original drummer for this song, I hadn't even given a second thought to Joey's performance. Now I've got to re-watch it! =D

[MoonlightShadowlolz]

Joey is a sick drummer, about the same level as Dave Grohl. But I agree he often plays songs too fast. But yet Dave did that too some times. I like Castillo a little bit more though. my lil brother once said: He looks like a monkey! and I said: 'nah bro.. he IS a monkey!' The alpha male to be exact

[DaDuDi4u]

@MoonlightShadowlolz

Castillo is a professional drummer. Means: He gets money for his work!

He is not a douchbag how plays to fast accidently.

If Homme wouldn´t like this Castillo would play slow

[MoonlightShadowlolz]

@DaDuDi4u Well I think it is awesome the way he play's some songs twice as fast. Josh likes it. Listen to Go With The Flow live at Gonzo and then to the studio version. It is fun

[secondhanddrummer]

@mosquit0 no joey can play the drums on the album because he has been playin it live. I mean, even i can play that part. maybe he didnt want to.

[Waterfall64]

@mosquit0 I'd much rather see QOTSA with Castillo, Grohl's one of the most overrated drummers. He's good, but nothing special. Castillo at least understands the Keith Moon notion of spectacle.

Check Reni,, from the Stone Roses. He cut to a 3-piece cut, constant singing (not backing vocals). A different league.

[bigverticalsmile]

joey castillo is one of the best drummers i have ever seen. his energy never, ever stops coming. fucking awesome

[BeattieBullet94]

is that a katana next to the drumkit?

[vleesjus4life]

no, those are drumsticks...

[t000013]

does joey use double kick?

[theamulas]

The bass line in this song is fucking boss.

[loffeman1154]

everyting in this song is boss if you ask me ;)

[RhysOzzy182]

why are you all criticizing his drumming when you yourselves wouldnt have the balls to attempt to drum behind Josh Homme infront of a huge crowd. Joey is performing his best.

[Jam123S]

Agreed!

and if Grohl did do the original drums, then Joey is filling his shoe's perfectly!

[v37kxj]

there's nothing wrong with the drumming people...and btw u know dave grohl did the original drums for this song right...i mean you can't blame him for not doing it exactly as it is on the record.

did i mention qotsa kick ass?!

[pepe7drum]

@v37kxj yeah qotsa is great but the drums are everything in this album... but common if Josh like´s it there´s nothing anyone can do, just listen the music

[peteydakingz]

@v37kxj if qotsa and ff got together it would be an eargasm

[themutt2]

@peteydakingz

Uhh...

...Them Crooked Vultures...?

[peteydakingz]

@themutt2 cool thanks for the info... ill let this one slide coz ur doing me a favor but that really isnt a good attitude to have

[idrinkwhatbaby]

@peteydakingz NO



[peteydakingz]

@idrinkwhatbaby hmmmm, a short, one word answer and a name suggesting a sexual activity... alright, ill take the opinion of a 12 year old troll...

[pepe7drum]

the ride cymbal sound so heavy! needs to be a little bit more crashy

[CrazedPeeling]

josh is so so hot. i mean, MY GOD!! no one should be that sexy.

this song is sooo kick ass too.

[milanpaloyannidis]

they never film troy !

[sarpin76]

joey rocks my socks.

[deelio777]

reading 05's version is still way bettah!

[ellenseg]

Agree! That's one of the best I've seen. And also Pinkpop '08. Their improvisational middle-part is awesome there, you should have a look :)

[farridquark]

nice if joey played it properly dont you think??? im sure he could do it. just annoys me!

[Penguinator176]

you wanna hear what's on the album, go listen to the album...Josh Homme himself

[simon4360]

what do you mean? ive always though hes a great drummer.

[pepe7drum]

i know! he never do the fills like he should do it

[thomascompton800]

and theres too much cymbal

[pepe7drum]

yeah man that doesnt sound good! joey needs to improve his drumming !

[huezo92703]

shut up Ricky Ricardo... let's see you up there. you're probably as good as Meg White or maybe playing too much Rock Band has deluded you into thinking you can actually play.

[pepe7drum]

haha Ricky Ricardo man you are funny, well i probably never get the chance to play with queens of the stone age but i think i have an educated ear, so when i hear a song live and this does not sound like recorded in studio i think the drummer is not up to the original song.. so, when I have the opportunity to upload videos you will see that I have more skills than Meg White and you may like my version of No One Knows, well then you will learn to not be racist...

[pepe7drum]

by the way, Meg White deserves all your respect, she may not be the best drummer but at least she can do something creative whit it... hahaha "rock band"?, dont talk about it because I do not support your capitalist system and the money that I won, I'd rather spend it on useful things as my drums, even so I hope you have accepted and understood my small criticism ... greetings!

[tuba178]

So giving you hard-earned cash to cymbal companies//whatever you buy to enhance your drumming experience, isn't capitalistic? I'm sure those companies get the money you spent. That's good old-fashioned capitalism, you idiot! The drumming on this is great, even if it isn't Dave Grohl.

[MusiK1979]

The Real Rock Band "QOTSA"!!!

[ManRych]

don't exagerate man

[fuckamericanidiot]

awesome, i'm a huge queens fan but i still think this is one of their very best tracxks, and the best song on songs for the deaf

[jatzbikis]

this is really good, you don't really have to tune down to play it though

[glorys6]

i like the version on TDU a lot better than this....where can i find that remix????...greetings from Holland...bye

[razorlight07]

josh homme wrote the drums to tihs song

[DavidBaatzsch]

where did you see this information ?

[hitskin666]

There is no doubt that Joey can hold his own. Anyone having to replicate Grohls licks has there work well and truly cut out for them...

[rorythedrummer]

wheres dave grohl???

[4tze]

maybe at home? ;)

[rorythedrummer]

o lol... i never thought of that ;)

[AdrinSwE94]

He's with Foo Fighters, haha. No, I don't know.

[82johnny5]

on the toilet last i heard.....

[rorythedrummer]

where could he be......

[JazzGuy4]

Bass player looks like Scott Ian...

[ThinkAboutTheRequiem]

you mean he looks like nick oliveri :')

[JazzGuy4]

him too lol :)

[jackheyes1]

omg lol

[shnizalproductions]

i miss when they played it this tempo

[Auron710]

man that was fuckin awesome! seriously sounded so good! I love QOTSA!

Maybe i prefer grohls fills in that song though =)

[undernative]

These guys are very lowrated, they are awesome!!, they fucking kick ass!!! but i dont know why they are not as huge as they should be.

[terminalninja]

depends where u live mate. and what music magazines u read.

their actually realy popular.

[eatmehard22]

is the drummer the sidekick dude from the National Treasure movies?

[howarddd92]

The guitar tone sounds shitty on this. great song though

[macatron]

Cool production on the part of Jools' people.

[teamvheissu]

qotsa <3

[Childinyou]

The performance is good but I think QOTSA are more at home in big stages than small settings

[Rockafellaton]

yea i know wat ya mean , this is a gr8 performance,but qosta luv big crowds goin crazy to their music,but im sure they liked this performance

[monthejoe]

Actually, Josh has said that he hates playing to big crowds, and if you knew anything about QOTSA, you would know that.

[TheMan434]

he said he rathers smaller crowds...he doesnt HATE playing big crowds

[monthejoe]

Yes he does. He says in the Over The Woods DVD, that he has always hated it, and now hates it more than ever.

[fuckamericanidiot]

ahh shut up

[Ghefly]

like when they played at glastonbury, they all looked like they were having fun, which is very important IMO

[Thargh]

sounds like somebody turned the mic off xD
