  • if you like this you should check out a new band light grenades

  • My favourite album is Rated R even if I really love LTP and Era Vulgaris. But for me the album which represents the best this band is Era Vulgaris, especially Sick Sick Sick. Anyway Someone's in the Wolf is my favourite song of them, and it's fucking awesome live ! QOTSA FTW

  • @Forbelicious how dare u say someone who played in nirvana sucked! Burn in hell!!!!

  • 1. songs for the deaf

    2. selftitled

    3. lullabies

    4. r

    5. era

  • No matter what the line up is (Grohl, Castillo, Troy etc etc) they're always fucking awesome and that's why I love this band.

  • I love foo fighters, rise against, the strokes etc. but Queens of the stone age gives such a nice twist to my sense of music!

  • you know, i have come to the conclusion that there are simply 2 kinds of QoTSA fans: songs for the deaf fanatics and lullabies fanatics. rated R was good and all, but those two defined what they are. they defined their finalized art direction in their work. they showed the expert organization of a brilliant writer, and they symbolized the missing change needed from grunge to post 2k rock. they are the perfect band for the era.

  • @dante224real1 there's also a type of QOTSA fan who seem to forget the first album, probably the rawest...

  • @louisalive their first album was more of a demo... it lacked any organization, anything that would set itself apart from 90's grunge, pre-indie, etc. it was back before it knew what it wanted to be. rated R introduced the world, and songs for the deaf gave the worldd perfection. lullabies actually set the bar even higher for perfection, which i always found hilarious.

  • @dante224real1

    what are you talking about, theyre first 2 albums are easily better than anything theyve done, rated r is excellent. put era in the shit bin with foo fighters lame stuff where it belongs.

  • @JHo4God i'm sure because your opinion is perfect in every way and will be regarded by all as their opinion from now on in fact lets make the cult of JHo4God where we will all stare at that single comment as our bible.

    remember to base music judgement on its originality, its structure, and its place in its medium (one song may be good on stage, but terribly placed in an album, or vice versa)

  • @dante224real1

    my opinion is as perfect as yours sgt. smug. r and st are their only albums which sound great on cd AND live, i cant get into lullabies or sftd or era.

  • @JHo4God R is really good, but it has issues on how it ends... it just didn't have an ending that made sense, though it did sort of lend itself to the "we're a bizarre band!" aspect... songs for the deaf and lullabies kept the oddity, but they wrote albums around it. the former being a radio clusterfuck that changed from channel to channel on a demented road trip of some kind, while lullabies was literally a montoge of different surreal states. i'll write more about my theory below this comment.

  • @dante224real1 the idea of lullabies is to personify every possible dream-state. lullaby as the intro was prefect personification of drifting into this dream-state of looking for his lost love. then the story gets more and more twisted and lusty as it threads through the states of paranoia, being a predator, being the prey in a nightmareish environment, and returning through a veil of madness and spirits to regain consciousness, where the long slow goodbye returns the audience to reality.

  • you don't find your way,the way finds you I love that line

  • @dante224real1 i used to be deadset on songs for the deaf being my favorite of theirs, but as the years go by i find myself going back to lullabies more and more.

    i think when its all said and done and someone 50 years from now takes the time to look back, your statement will ring true. all their albums are outstanding, but for the solid focus and the way the album flows beginning to end, lullabies is definitely their finest work.

  • lullabies to paralyze is their best album. i will never fall from that statement. it had the most focus on where their songs were placed, it felt like a dream in the midsection and awakening in the last act (well.... last song)

    there has never been a better modern rock album imo, and it comes in 2nd in my favorite albums ever list. (dont worry guys, "songs for the deaf" is like 8th place on the list)

  • this is how to play live, truly fucking awesome.

  • This is when they were at their absolute best. The album was fuckin unreal, with the edition of Al on bass (exponentially better bassist than Nick) and Tash on the keys, they became the best band in the world. Fuck everything else. Fuck Foo Fighters, Rise Against and all those other lame fucking bands. No one holds a candle to Queens live.

  • @jactosentalerant69 :O dude. rise against is pretty lame. but come on. dave grohl is a monster on stage. especially when he gets put behind a drum kit

  • @chickenmonkeystudios ill agree about his drumming skills and frontmanship, but I just hate their music.

  • @chickenmonkeystudios He is a fucking beast! But I have to agree with that dude QOTSA are fucking beast, anyway they are all buds and if you want the whole pack go listen to Them Crooked Vultures :D

  • @stjimmy360 yea man. i love them crooked vultures. they are kickass. (mind erasers my fave)

  • @jactosentalerant69

    *addition

    yes i think this album, and line-up, was awesome. but look at it - without nick they lost all theyre balls. and shuman is a moron as well, they should of stuck with alain.

  • @jactosentalerant69 Although I agree about what you said about Queens, Foo Fighters are still a fantastic band. And now a days you have to respect the good bands you have considering there are very few left. Queens are by far one of the few amazing bands left but to deny other bands of their talent is the exact reason why rock is dying off so fast.

  • @jactosentalerant69 Finally. Someone who agrees Foo Fighters and Rise Against suck dick.

  • @jactosentalerant69 I couldn't care less for Rise Against, but sir.. have you seen Foo Fighters live? Because if you have you are not the brightest kid in town.. if you have not I don't think you have any idea what you're talking about.. Foo Fighters rock giant ass even if you think their songs are too 'poppy' they give you a slash hammer reversed facepalm once they are on stage

  • @AtomicVHPunk have you seen Queens live? I've seen the 6 times and every time they get better and better

  • @jactosentalerant69 Yeah twice, and you're right, the second time was even more awesome than the first time!

  • 8 idiots

  • Thanks a lot QOTSA... Now i gotta clean up the brains that just got all over my computer.

  • Josh is such a genius musician, fuck those people who talk'bout drugs first everytime.. listen the guy, feel the song slaping your face and your mind.

  • omfg this song is everthing o'good !!!

  • This song is just pure musicianship. I love to see Joey just rape his drums. Holy shit, great performance.

  • This is my favorite song from my favorite album. I hope they play this when I see them.

  • @zephranna01 I disagree with you. I saw Queens in March and they couldn't have played any harder or more brilliant.

  • this song is like halloween meets rape, but in a good way.

  • one of my favourites songs!

  • Fuck me that is better than sex!

  • this song kicks ass. and i love the scary atmosphere theyre setting on stage. it totally fits the songs

  • As if eight people have disliked this...

  • Gotta love how people try and have an actual intellectual discussion in the comments on Queen's videos. Stoned people are just looking to talk about shit lol

  • @ferrarif40 i know, im shit faced, answering shit thats a month old.

  • The first time i heard that song I was like "WTF?!", and after listening to it a few couple of times, I started to love the song. Weird isn't it? lol

  • so awesome how Natasha sways her hips :)

  • Comment removed

  • @zephranna01 wow good job

  • @zephranna01 then thank satan for Them Crooked Vultures

  • josh chases the sounds in our heads, then perfects them

  • seriously who else can think of rythms and lyrics like this

    noooooo fuckiiiinnnng one

    no fucking justin bieber

    no fucking lady gaga

    no one other than josh homme

  • I'm pretty sure I'm the minority, but come on Lullabies was better than Songs for the Deaf. At least IMHO

  • @TaffyRaphie i like both of them Almost equally but i prefer Lullabies because of the melodies, and i like songs for the deaf because it sounds kinda raw. It depends on my mood, but i prefer lullabies. AND SIX SHOOTER SUCKS ! :D

  • @mindennevfoglalt Agreed, Six Shooter sorta ruins the mood at that point, and it's just a bad song.

  • @TaffyRaphie hmmmmm you see i can't agree with you all there albums are different so there's no comparision

  • @markkalady agreed, but buy that I meant that on any given day I'd rather listen to Lullabies over half the time. I love each album they've made to death though. I haven't got the self titled album though, but I plan on getting the re-issue coming out next month

  • @TaffyRaphie true dat yo

  • @TaffyRaphie both made my top 10 list of best albums ever, but there is a 6 album gap between them, and lullabies scores #2. oh yeah

  • @dante224real1 just curious, what are your top ten then?

  • @TaffyRaphie #10: mezmerize/hypnotize (system of a down, and yes its 1 album) #9: californication (red hot chili peppers) #8: songs for the deaf (QoTSA) #7: Hemispheres (rush) #6: dark side of the moon (pink floyd) #5: demon days (gorillaz) #4: black holes and revelations (muse) #3: a farewell to kings (rush) #2: lullabies to paralyze (QoTSA) #1: pretty. odd. (panic at the disco).

    my #1 is in deserving of a heavy, paragraphic explanation, but its soo enjoyable, and brilliantly written, so no.

  • @dante224real1 I get what u mean. pretty odd is a brilliantly written album and panic at the discos best. its a masterpiece as far as baroque goes

  • @chickenmonkeystudios and as far as rock goes in all honesty. its in my top 10 for sure

  • @chickenmonkeystudios here's a simple reason: its the happiest album ever created, with some of the most well-produced, well-written, well-defined, and original instrumental line-up seen past 1970. there hasn't been an album quite like it, ever...

  • @dante224real1 it is pretty odd.....XD

  • @TaffyRaphie I completely agree. Getting a bit more darker and serious made them so much more solid.

  • @TaffyRaphie Lullabies and Songs for the Deaf are two very different albums to be loved for very different reasons, but if your point is that Lullabies is under-rated, I 100% agree, anyone who gives it a chance will be consumed by it

  • @spiros11386 I was just saying IMO that it's better. but I definitely think that Lullabies is very under rated. for that matter, all of their albums are.

  • @TaffyRaphie think so, too...love the surreal style

  • Thanks D.

  • lololololololz 2:15 blawa dats funa hes like "nya"

  • 4:09 reminds me of Led Zeppelin's "When the Levee Breaks".

    And you know what?

    That's okay. One of my favorite Queens songs.

  • Epic!

    

  • the bass riff in this bridge is future!

  • Absolutely one of my favourite songs, so wish they played it more often! Went mad when they played it in the Reading set in 08!

  • love those crashing drums.

  • I think this song is totally bonded to "The Blood Is love"

  • What's the guitar tuning, open G?

  • @kritverbeek I believe so

  • @kritverbeek

    It's standard D if I'm not mistaken

  • I have never disliked any song made by this guy, musical genius Josh Homme.

  • this is awesome

  • this song is the tits nipples

  • That was the first song? that must have been an amazing concert

  • I think this is the best surfaced concert of the Lullabies to Paralyze era and at least top 5 ever.

    -Troubadour with Dave

    -Visions 2002

    -BDO 2003

    -Montreux 2005

    -Bizarre 98

  • So fucking outstanding song!! im gonna see them live in october 13 in Pepsi music... so sick!!

  • @siorgalez 11 October in Brazil here, I doubt they will play this.

  • this is the most perfect set.  i wish i was here so much. the crowd, the lighting, the whole atmosphere - just perfect.

    what a great way to start a show.

  • I've seen Queens 3 times, gonna see them in August again but this is one show I really really wish I could have gone to. The set, the playing... perfect.

  • This tune is so perfect that i dont have words that can describe what i feel when i hear it..................

  • just fucking brilliant. agree.

  • There was a whole second of silence to absorb the awesome

    xD

  • Is josh using an epi dot here?

  • @barden1069 for this song he´s using troy´s signature guitar (SA503 TVL ). he´s also using an epiphone dot for all the songs in E

  • @evilschniedl wow I didn't notice the single cutaway when I saw this lol. Thanks for pointing that out

  • apparently, i need to get out to more jazz festivals

  • Fabulous chorus.

    Awesome musical construction and mix of sounds.

    Simply magical...

  • musica foooda do caralhooooow

  • and this is the song they only started the gig with? *speechless*

  • I remember how shit I once thought this song was. I feel like such a retard now.

  • One of my favourites and this live version is SICK!

    Natasha, rest in peace..

  • Josh Homme - Awesome

  • creepy and great!

  • Fucking awesome!! Alain Johannas with hair! :D

  • Josh is a badass guitarist

  • I can't hear any of the bass... this song has no guts without the bass. Bad compression on this video.

  • @datalorez I can hear it fine. you might want to double check your speaker settings.

  • @datalorez what do you expect? it's a youtube video after all...

  • homme has this has this oddly delicate yet testosterone drenched voice that floats and mingles with the harder edges of the music...what i mean to say is that it gets my juices flowing...creative and otherwise.

  • brutal song

  • such a cool sound.....I could see how their melodies can be like a fine wine....gets better with every listen....I really dig all their music from Rated R through Era Vulgaris....just cool ass music

  • @Metamorphosis33 Um....What about the self titled? That's easily one of the best.

  • @RMNTNayn hmmm i dont think I have that one...im gonna go search for it right NOW....I am sure I have heard some songs off of it before though....maybe live

  • @Metamorphosis33 It's easily one of the best. I'd definitely place it above Lullabies and Era Vulgaris without any qualms whatsoever.

  • @RMNTNayn actually what your talking about is the Kyuss album queens of the Stone age....Kyuss was wherev Josh played guitar and Chris Garcia sang

  • @Metamorphosis33 Um....no. It's a QOTSA album.

  • @Metamorphosis33 But it was only Josh. So I guess I could see where you got that. But there's no doubt that Josh was singing, and that it's a QOTSA album. There's a reason why they are rereleasing it as a QOTSA albumlol

  • @RMNTNayn ya i listened to it and its definitely Josh singing....you ever listened to any of Kyuss old albums....not Josh singing but you can still here his thick bassy guitar riffs throughout all their music

  • @Metamorphosis33 There is a split EP which was the end of Kyuss and the beginning of Queens of the Stone Age. That may be what you're thinking about, but the album Queens of the Stone Age self titled was Josh Homme all the way through

  • @Metamorphosis33 ok wait hold on just a sec. queens fist official album was self titled. before that they released a split ep with kyuss with 3 kyuss tracks and 3 qotsa tracks, but thats not offically a qotsa release and it wasnt a kyuss album titled qotsa either. it was a split album. 3 of the songs were performed by kyuss and 3 by qotsa lineup. this was a couple years after the breakup of kyuss and a year before the beginnings of qotsa making it a legendar album, even though it only had 6songs

  • @RMNTNayn isnt this song from lullabies?

  • this is good music

  • I think Josh should have used a Condenser Microphone, it would have came out perfect.

  • I quite disagree: it already came out perfect :p

  • I was thinking the same thing

  • is that alain on bass?

  • yes

  • badass.

  • This song made me realize that QotSA should do a soundtrack for a zombie movie. It would be epic.

  • Dun Dun Dun.

  • @hammersdontthink yes, that record (lullabies tu paralyse) could be the whole soundtrack

  • this song is amazing live. i dont know anything about playing guitar but it sounds as if it may be really hard to play

  • nah, it's not that extreme. a lot of practice does the job. but only they can play it this amazing

  • these are way underrated by the public its unreal

  • Homme and the rest of Queens of the Stone Age are some of the most innovative musicians around. its so nice to hear these riffs and time signatures that weve never heard before

  • why is it that this song sounds better every time i hear it???? when i first heard it, i was confused, until i started absorbing the wonderful abnormal quality of perfect abysmal beats accompanied with professional vocals and some of the most complex rythm guitar playing i have ever heard. this song is pure genius. a song that i like more each time i hear it.

  • @dante224real1 Same here, except for me, the first time I heard it, the audio quality was terrible, now its perfect... I have weird speakers.

  • @dante224real1 I hated Lullabies to Paralyze when I heard it too, I was very disappointed with this album, just started to like it some years before, it had to be kept in the oven to get good. I think it was because they songs changed their style a bit, they started to look more produced. The 1st album was more pure rock style. The 2nd was more punk style, they sounded more Californian. Songs for the deaf is the transition between Rated R and LTP style.

  • @bogoio i didn't hate it, it just took a little while for it to grow on me. now its my 2nd favorite album ever :)

  • @dante224real1 Every QoTSA song sounds better every time you hear it :D That's the best thing about this band. It's because they have many layers of parts, and sometimes you focus on different ones when you listen to their songs.

  • @Deadthewanderer That is true

  • Comment removed

  • @dante224real1

    I completely agree, the first time I heard this song it just sounded like a mess, I didn't even notice the awesome riff. I wish I could appreciate a songs awesomeness on the first listen :(

  • @dante224real1 i felt exactly the same at first

  • @dante224real1 agreed,same with me for this and a song for the dead,i used to skip both but now they're my favourites

  • @dante224real1 Complex rythm guitar? it doesn't sound that complex...

    Don't get me wrong, this is one of my favourites by them, but it doesn't seem that complicated, am I wrong?

  • @TaffyRaphie i think i misspoke. by complex, i was referring to the writing of 6ths in a modern rock piece, and baking it sound really great. the other complexities would be the actual progressions. if you ever learned the song, it is alot more complicated than their other pieces. i mean, its not dream theater or anything, but it has alot more going on than just a bunch of 4/4 notes.

  • @dante224real1 ah, I see, I don't really know anything about musical theory and I can only tell the difference between 4/4 and 3/4, so I didn't pick up on that. Cool to know.

  • @dante224real1 I could not agree more!

  • @chiefofsparta then why is there a possibility of doing so?

  • Lovein Josh's Tone!!

  • killer riff !!

  • the end is totally frenetic ...

  • My ggoodness almighty!! This song sounds INCREDIBLE live!! Can't go one day without "Someone's In The Wolf"!!

  • It doesn't get more bad ass than this!

  • Its a pity they dont show more of their hands. THis song is a bitch to figure out on the guitar...

  • i never thought you could change the tempo of this song and make sound just as trippy and awesome, but what do you know! QotSA is being tattued on my forearm when i get the money...

  • Yea i thought about that to.. what are u getting tattued? just QotSA, i mean the letters, or are there a cool design?

    btw are u swedish?:P

  • the spermy q bolder then the four others, and yes swedish...

  • jaha coolt, har du sett affischerna när do mska spela någonstans, finns vissa coola bilder osm man också kan tattuera:P

  • varför snackar du svenska?

  • vet inte... för jag kan?

    + att jag snackade med Jonas

  • yeah, i have the spremy Q on my wrist....not bragging, just thought you should know =]

  • Nice!

  • this song just take a piss on music theory and that's why it's great

  • This song is so dark and twisted, I love it. Very different, very, off

  • once your lost in twilight's blue.. you don't find your way.. the way finds youuuu...

    i've never taken acid.. but i can imagine this album playing somewhere in the background of any trip.

  • I still can't believe how good they are

    unbelievable

  • They need to play this more live. And "The Blood is Love". And "Tangled up in Plaid". Basically, I'm saying I absolutely love Lullabies to Paralyze. People who hold up Songs for the Deaf as their greatest work confuse me.

  • Damn, I was supposed to give you a thumbs up, but pressed the wrong button, sorry.

    I agree, I like Songs for the Deaf, I really do, but I think both Lullabies to Paralyze and Era Vulgaris (I know some will want to hang me for this) are better than Songs for the Dead.

  • I agree, songs for the deaf have the most hits and the most catchy songs, and I think, for the audience, the people who aren't much in to qotsa, it's the best, but if you learn about their music and other stuff, I think lullabies is the best, and I also think rated R is better then songs for the deaf, and I don't own the first album to my hard regret, but I think that one is also better then songs for the deaf, but it's a personal opinion, so please don't judge me ^^

  • I certainly prefer Lullabies to Songs for the Deaf, but for me the best album is the self-titled one. I'm really glad they're re-releasing it, as it probably means another tour :-D

  • I do prefer "Songs for the Deaf" over "Lullabies to Paralyze", but it's a damn close call. I love "R" aswell and "Era Vulgaris" has grown on me quite a bit since I got it, but I guess it's the more straightforward rock of "Songs" that simply appeals to me more.

  • epic song, great jam!

  • i love how edgy and jagged this groove is!
