Queens Of The Stone Age - A Song For The Dead (RW07)

[methamphetamine123]

Those camera dudes were trippin out worse than Josh

[GDhaenens]

Only two people in the world can play this song on drums

Dave Grohl and very impressive Joey Castillo here

[Dyonissis]

The drummer looks like he broke out of jail the day before the show :-D that guy is an animal! I remember being magnetized and afraid at the same time by the rough energy of their performance back in 2007. Sick atmosphere! Can't wait to see them again...

[dancemoneydance]

Joey is a f****ing beast!!! I love Dave, but Joey is kicking some serious ass here...

[alessandro7151]

he is in cocaine

[4230020]

Is he on Drugs?

[gumborific]

Does everyone want to believe Josh is wasted, or know for a fact he is? It's entertainment kids. Stop thinking how "wasted" or "not" he is matters at all. A few beers, a line or three, or nothing at all, he is a musician that knows EXACTLY what he is doing. All that matters.

[crtdust]

The dude with glasses at 1:56 seems to be having a blast.

[aleksandertrap]

BADASS!!!

[Yoda300YearsAgo]

May the school where the director learned his 'art' burn to the ground.

This drunken flashy style may be cool in clips of let's say some R'n'B ,Rap 'n' Bullshit, but it definitely isn't when some may want to observe. It's a rare chance to catch a close glimpse of the talents of these damn good musicians.

They may powder their nose too much but certainly found the time to learn their instruments thoroughly.

[markblyn]

@Yoda300YearsAgo

Yay! - Agree with you entirely about the Video. Totally takes away from what one might 'Guess' was a fantastic performance. It certainly sounded good but who the fuck knows since you have to make do with a wanna-be horror-director's fast-edited clips. How about interesting camera angles and well timed takes on individual performers. I also hate this style with horror movies too - which is probably what this vid. director will move on to.

[MrApplebite100]

without mark lanegan this song can't be listing , fatally

[magneteye]

Even totally fucking wasted Josh rocks your ass off!

[NOZQM]

Let The Apocolypse....BEGIN!!!

[becgillard83]

OMG is this man sex on legs or what?! High or not there's no doubting his presence and intensity. The first 40 seconds of this clip has me weak at the knees, especially when he does that whole elvis lip thing and then rubs his face... Not to mention that this song as a whole is fckin awesome and a firm fav of mine. I've seen QOTSA twice here in aus and they rocked my socks. I'm dying to see them again and get my dose of the ginger elvis and his rocking company ^_^

[komamuras0wolfgirl]

Josh looks so delightfully evil in the beginning.

[guitarristachileno]

That was a fucking assault on the senses...

[itchypopliteal]

Drugged or not drugged, Josh definitely looks awesome in this perf. :)

[janellp1]

Possibly the best live version i've heard of this track

[peacelovemusic2461]

people say joey isnt nearly as good as grohl but i disagree joey is a fucking beast

[painkillerzuuule]

sky is high and so is Josh!

[raiderroyz]

joey looks smashed

[Fazioma00]

6 people tried this at home

[rubyscooby156]

ferocious!

[GDhaenens]

Look at his face in the beginning :D haha, awesume man

[kijkkijkkijkkijk]

does anyone know what kind guitar troy used in this video

:P

[andreisidro]

This is WAAAAY more powerfull than the cd version!

[uhaveachode1]

i find this video easy to masterbate to

[evangelionale]

Josh in this video : High!

[LedZeppelinisgod100]

not a lot of bands can pull off well-orchestrated hits, make it sound good, and still give you a good kick in the chest with the soul of the music.

these guys are fantastic.

[lifeisanotherlife]

Don't try this at home

[CAMIKC01]

fabuloso, fantastico, hermoso, maravilloso... pero... Lanegan es indispensable en esta rola

[LedSandman]

its funny that joey can't do the intro while using the hi-hat

[hudsonmarco]

I want Troys guitar.

[theinsanemusician]

drummers a bit better in this vid then on the acoustic vids when he had a tambourine!

[downrodeo2112]

josh is on c-c-c-c-c-cocaine

[bizza52]

josh is tripping dicks

[maximuzak]

A band like this only comes around once in a VERY  long time..................fucking awesome!!!!

[gogomuse]

i jizzed in my pants

[fishsoupster]

this one needs Lanegan

[imtay22]

The only thing that would make this performance better is if Dave Grohl was drumming.

[matteomeggio]

@imtay22 IMHO joey is much better then Dave...

[DJMC141]

@matteomeggio I'd say they're a close match, Dave is just slightly better, but Joey fits into QOTSA a whole lot better than Dave

[Pilsbery62]

Also, whoever the 6 people were who disliked this, this song will be dedicated for you........

[Pilsbery62]

This is the most demented fucking performance I've ever seen by QOSTA, and that's saying something considering how amazing they always are in the first place. Not to mention Josh's horrific intensity, that only amplified his Hendrix-esque style in this song. QOSTA YOU MAKE ME ORGASM WITH ASTONISHMENT, AND I APPRECIATE IT VERY MUCH!!

[cudatheferocious]

you can tell homme loves this song.

[tomsawyer0110]

homme looks like he can barely stand how cool he is in this video. sick, love this song.

[ktrel54]

At the beginning, thinking: "I'm gonna look sooo cool in this video"

Well, he was right.

[jeevsrocks]

6 people are mentally retarted

[princessboohoo]

why does josh remind me of james from silent hill 2? o.O

[cereal69007]

josh's singing's really improved with the years especially in tcv!!!

[ccaaaiiooo]

And people say joey isn't good enough....

damm!1

[daronmalak]

In the end the tempo is at least 230 XD

[Havranek88]

Joey kills on the drums! So awesome performace!

[TheHysteria05]

4:27 = EPIC

[Surferbra45]

holey fuck that is hectic

[DhaenensG]

What a beast Josh. Look at his face in the beginning

[porsaspersereika]

homme looks like he's in psychotic state...

[FrgoTTTen]

killer song;

[kashman226]

god damn! gahhhhhhh! im dead

[theaceofspades39]

seriously is Josh 7 feet tall wtf he looks like a giant

[g00mba00]

i want me some lanegan dammit

[12345l6789]

FUCK

[NNICKKK]

@12345l6789 agreed. one of the most epic live performances of a rock band on youtube nay, THE WORLD!!!!

[MsIhatethiscrap]

LUV THEM! + MURDER CITY DEVILS AND MANMAN ! AWESOME GOOD MUSIC NOT THAT GAY FUCKING NWO MEDIA NICKLEBAG ASS SHIT- grrr

[lildondon29]

Jesus, those are some dark circles under Josh's eye's. He's kicking some ass though.

[antwerpvlaming001]

How I wish I was in that pit =')

[warlocked666]

i must say i totally prefer josh singing on this song than mark lanegan. he's an awesome singer but cant sing live at all...at least with the queens lanegan never impressed me

[rorighscott]

@warlocked666 same, joshs voice suits it better. i saw them perform this at leeds 2010. josh sang. it was an incredible performace

[DhaenensG]

Fuckin' nice drumming

[TheCollywollydoodle]

This is wayyyyyyyyy better with dave grohl and mark lanegan

still awesome though...

[Stanovic]

goose bumps at 1:15 forward

[Stanovic]

@Stanovic sorry i meant 0:00 forward

[saraband0]

Im gonna name my son after troy

[djalex8080]

@saraband0 Im namin my son after joey :)

[PhasersOnFunky]

@saraband0 He better wear a suit all the goddamn time.

[SeansCool1]

josh looks like an evil fucker for the start for 40 seconds lol

[martin7viola]

@SeansCool1 that's called cocaine

[nikR00m]

fattissimo!!



[ustickx]

This is a fucking battle song!

[slatskatya]

[kirstenktje]

What did he say 'Doei' 6:34 ?

I love it!!!

[kadia92]

[tuber2654]

MAN!!, what an AfuckinMAZING performence!!!

[acridus]

5.05-5.10

cuffy moment for josh, and i just came!

[Kurdtttt]

If I were in the crowd I would only open my mouth and stare at them, that's fucking masterpiece !

[FrgoTTTen]

Fuck, that is good.

[MrYenko77]

que chingona rola y que excelente banda queen of the stone age una de las mejores agrupaciones con un sonido muy caracteristico

[ralphvds]

After QotSA, Pearl Jam headlined that evening.

During that show Eddie Vedder advised us not to take any drugs from Josh Homme backstage.

Later on the same show Josh Homme went on stage and played a song together with Pearl Jam on stage.

[0rganix]

@spicyMcHAGGIS9green The wife's on coke too

[FestusTravincal]

yeah he likes coke, having a wife and kid have nothing to do with it, the road is whole different world than home.

[fattirevsbud]

@spicyMcHAGGIS9green everyone does coke in this business, it's tough to Tour for 8months

[enrico826]

@spicyMcHAGGIS9green

who cares

[StinkiwinkiPoo]

@spicyMcHAGGIS9green why cant a man take coke, get kids and make pretty good music- all theses 3 things together??? whtas the fukkin problem??

[willhihaxors]

shit...i tried this at home...my head exploded...damn

[LazySmellyChickens]

@willhihaxors the music went in my ears and came out my ass, thats how awesome it is!

[deadmandanny88]

woahhh the dutch editor is on drugs!

[IKTET]

most energetic performance ever

:D

[xman682]

alot of that is just good cinematography. see kids, all you need to be cool is a friend who's good with a camera.

definitely still fucking awesome.

[Miennn]

josh was stoned as a monkey during the whole set. this was the best 60 mins out of my whole life.

[rockerMan0987]

one question

dave grohl made this song on drums or joey castillo?

I know is a bit stupid but I don't know much about them

[Nigel1703]

Dave Grohl recorded it. Don't know if he actually came up with the fills, but it's definitely his style.

[shnizalproductions]

@Nigel1703 burn the witch was recorded by joey castillo not grohl?

[Nigel1703]

@shnizalproductions I mean the drums in "Song for the dead" are originally played by Grohl. The drum track was apparently a homage to Black Flag's "Slip it in".

[totoma27]

" Don't try this at home " ?

[p41n666]

haha hes fucked up on cocaine

love him

[DrummerGS]

Is Josh stoned in this vid?

[BUZZUBUZZU]

@DrummerGS  ohh yes!

[oskarveliky]

No, he is sober!! :-)

[beholder666]

@oskarveliky Im not sure about that man ... I was at that show too and one thing i remember is the color of his eyes when he came up on stage lol

but anyway... the show sure was a piece of heaven, moments I'll never forget

[oskarveliky]

It was a joke of course. He is stoned (or whatever) quite nice

[ASonOfRevolution]

@DrummerGS Josh is always stoned. Which makes him even more incredible that he can perform flawlessly.

[tisots]

best group ever?

[BUZZUBUZZU]

@tisots  ohh yes!

[mandering26]

I think this is "the Origin of Queens of the Stone Age"

[Pabloalado]

FUCKING COOOOL

[MagicThys]

Josh has that knowing smile ....and an Elvis sneer...love their work:)

[Lestatoff]

sick song. love it

[northbynorthwestable]

Josh smiles as if he knows that his is gonna be the bringer of the party. Smiiileeeyy man, it is the bringer of the party! Reminds me of really good old rock. Sometimes new bands reproduce the old feeling with sleigh of hand. The Queens are one of them. Kudos.

[sausalami]

it looks like a bit of an evil genius smile, and i think he is high as shit as well

what a hero

[MrZigwah]

@sausalami Hes coked out his tree!

[cameronbob92]

Is this from songs for the deaf? The drums are nuts!

[dsta84]

i saw this song live right after era vulgaris came out 2500 people packed into a tiny little warehouse i thought i was gonna die from the overwhelming amount of rock i was taking in

[blursx]

I get wet watching Joey's drumming... Love it.

[CB836]

joey is a fucking machine gun on the drum, fuckin maddddddd wish i was as good as him

[oklahomandn49]

my favorite queens song by far...great drumming!

[iluvqotsaforever]

Still awesome though

[iluvqotsaforever]

I totally agree. He looks like he's on something

[Zootallure]

I suspect brother Joshua might be a little bit coked...?

[sundayatdd]

looks like pills he's gurning

[AreYouIrrelevant]

Or he could just be high on adrenaline?

Why does everyone always think people in bands are on drugs all the time. Every bloody youtube video!

[Astronautman87]

Maybe because he said on this concert that he had used some coke? He really said that.

[AreYouIrrelevant]

Oh no, did he, really, what a naughty boy, i might tell his mum....

I was just saying how annoying it is that on every live band video someone has to say "theyre high", prove it, you dont know so dont say it. like you know it for a fact.

[alejandro13991]

Watch the feel good hit of the summer vid from this gig.. that´ll answer your question

[tsjoencinema]

the drumming is very interesting

[eldruida666]

Don´t try this at homme jajaja

[PigShadowKan]

Best band in the last 10 years ,in my opinion ..

[scottish1337]

@PigShadowKan along with TCV obviously ;)

[spiropapas]

@PigShadowKan  at least 20 years

[yovioleatuzorramadre]

@spiropapas what the fuck? they are not the best band of any year

[yovioleatuzorramadre]

@PigShadowKan not at all

[Sikophant]

One of the best festivals ive been to!

[southernfriedchick]

this band can do no wrong !!!

[sjmack521]

[Sprtschk]

Fuck yeah! the only (and then I mean the ONLY) thing missing here is Lanegan. Great intro.

[smerrett86]

What a great live performance, The speed is insane, Makes the song even more mosh friendly.

Josh and Troy really are the coolest men in rock par none

[PigShadowKan]

OMFG

[applecider]

[kidamathias]

[totoma27]

[ntt911]

god king among men

[halofourteen85]

[Tim8tei]

Was he under the influence of something? The whole concert he had this weird look lol.

[scrapmetal79]

haha dumb question. there is a decent chance. just listen to feel good hit of the summer.

[AndrewThomasR]

yeah theres a good chance he was on c-c-c-c-c-cocaiinnee. haha

[droctagon3k]

how hot is troys guitar, anyone know what it is?

[BrixSnBs]

It's a Gibson Les Paul with in some funky yellow color. That's all i can say man, i'm not very god years, specific models and stuff like that
