Smokin a joint at 7:00

[DrQuackinducks]

Joey Castillo is a Fucking monster on those drums

[pouncelciot]

Can somebody tell me how can i find that qotsa logo that appears on the top of an amp at minute 2:08??

Thanks

[F0rtyNuggets]

@pouncelciot That's not a Qotsa logo, that's an 'Ampeg' logo. A famous brand wich produces bass amplifiers.

[goodhitsofthesummer]

@pouncelciot you should get a blue pill

[TheChickenbowl]

What's Josh doing in the crowd at 7:52

[nugbutt]

wow, I'm so impressed with their new bass player! I think he's really stepped up an found his place in a band of super musicians

[jactosentalerant69]

Dear three people who clicked dislike. Fuck you. You are stupid

[rovyerOnTube]

6:30 Tom Morello was there!

[goodhitsofthesummer]

@rovyerOnTube no

[rovyerOnTube]

@goodhitsofthesummer

it was a joke you moron

[goodhitsofthesummer]

@rovyerOnTube i was joking too

[energysystemsfitness]

Whoever made the comment that "the band are going through the motions on this performance" appears to be quite disconnected from the QOTSA vibe and music in general. Josh and Mike embrace a psuedo-acapella bridge displaying their intimate connection to the moment and the audience. If you truly know your QOTSA, that is why these guys play and what they live for. Moments like that "live" are quite rare. They have never done this song in such a profound way. My advice...get connected.

[wazza341]

7:04 camera man is like cool a plane

[DrMantecol]

FUCK FUCK PLEASE COME BACK TO ARGENTINA

[Dacijo]

that is one sexy guitar

[MrSinistersmile]

@Dacijo i agree

[Levente20]

this is just out of this world. QOTSA = DEFINING ROCK

[Look0Alive]

@Brody789 - UK Audiences are always rocking!

[jossievossie]

Stil wonder what the JFK background during the concert had to do with their gig ?

Anyone can help?

[froibaad1]

that middle jam was absolutely amazing!

[JavelinNL]

Mikey is intense... wow... Who needs Nick?

[brody789]

Right let's get this straight as people are misinterpreting what I originally stated.

With the Glastonbury performance , both the band and the audience connected and Josh was in fine spirits. I don't know why people seem to think I am referring to moshing/head banging, I just get the feeling that the band are going through the motions on this performance and the audience can probably tell. That's why I found this particular performance boring to watch.

Sorry to have a different opinion

[F0rtyNuggets]

@brody789 But were you at both festivals ? I think only then you can compare the audience. Maybe you are right. I was there and I think they were really conected with the audience. Atleast that was what I felt.

[matenizer]

@brody789 So the fact that Linkin Park played after them, and they didn't on glastonbury, means nothing to you?

The fact that most people there were there for linkin park and not the best band of this era, could not change your "different" opinion. Don't you dare insult the audience that listens to the might Queens, or the band themselves. Cuz that's what you're doing by calling this a boring performance. It's the music, not the people that matter. Go watch some Green Day, douchebag.

[brody789]

@matenizer Hahaha, come back and say something remotely interesting without twisting what I have said in a couple of years when you have grown up a little.

Douchebag? Lol.

Just because I didn't particularly like a QOTSA performance shown on YT, it doesn't mean I am insulting anyone.

Ciao bella x

[giannitje]

@brody789 I was there, and I felt kinda connected my friend. When the camera's should take a shot of the 50 front rows instead of the back, you would see.

[TheShwanzie]

@brody789 acctually you are tottally right.

They played way to early on the evening. it started 8.30

They should 've been the headliner for that night but instead they got Linkin park after QOTSA .OMFG!

Werchter is all about money and its not the festival anymore it was.

I wish i was in glastonbury to see them the audience was way more enthousiast.

Still i like the video and like every version of there songs.

[KaiserBecks]

@brody789 This may sound stupid, but I honestly think their performances always work better in the dark.

[RockinDutch]

@brody789 I was as a big QotSa fan at the Werchter so and I was fuckin pissed there were people in the front and were just standing there like total douches...

[dhembrough]

@brody789 Personally, I'm English and was at Werchter only... look at it from the musicians perspective, QOTSA had approx 76,000 people in front of them that day, if that doesn't give them a buzz and make them wanna entertain they're probably dead inside. Comparing concerts is never a good thing, we all have good and bad days - I'll remember that day for all the positives, no point comparing it to anything else -it was Werchter 2011.

[dhembrough]

oh and by the way, qotsa played fairly early in the day at Werchter compared to Glasto - maybe this connection you mention was related to intoxication of whatever floated the audiences boat that day.

[QMDExperiece]

how come people always have something to bitch about in the comments when theres fucking amazing music coming from ^^ up there

[bigjohnny12345678]

i think it all depends on the songs they play whether you mosh and dance like crazy, or stand there chilled in awe. any song off the 1st album and most songs off songs for the deaf you wanna be dancing around like crazy, but other songs like this one, in the fade etc you do just wanna stand there and take it all in

[evabakker]

Heart rate: not normal.

[DarkAngelEU]

it was the best :) hope to see them back soon

[Teuchterdavie]

when the song breaks down and Josh and Mikey sing, man that gives me the fuckin chills... amazing. "Better Living..." is definitely one of their best songs.

Queens of the Stone Age is the one band that I WOULDN'T go nuts in the crowd to. Whenever I've seen them live, I just stand there in awe and try to soak in as much of it as possible and burn it into my brain, to hopefully never forget it. I don't wanna miss a single part of it. This band is the greatest live band I've ever seen.

[SweetCrookedQueen]

@Teuchterdavie I know what you mean, but I've got the sensation that they aren't enjoying...

Whatever...

They are so lucky to be there

[duvels86]

@Teuchterdavie Exactly my way of experiencing their shows as well. Go and bash into each other at some punk show or something...

[SweetCrookedQueen]

Oh my god the audience is quiet... Well, that's so lame.

It's an amazing song!

[Elke1980]

I loved hearing some non-festival songs in the set list, but the lukewarm reaction of the crowd was really annoying. It's not because you can't sing it along that you have to start talking all over it.

[Ri0680]

@Glen111 real fans know ALL their songs! and hearing some oldies was great in stead of always the usual....great gig!

[bono185]

i was there, this was a great performance, i feel like i am watching a historic moment in woodstock

[Lejnicke]

I wanted to see this, but Eels won the contest

[pilsjongen]

the best 8 minutes from Werchter Festival '11

[mramalhadas]

Portugal next year plz.

[JaymoeSays]

is it me or are QOTSA sounding tighter than ever? it just looks too easy for them now :)

[markkalady]

THERE IS NO WAY TO DISLIKE THIS

[1Tsk1]

Without any doubt one of the best 'unknown' numbers they have.

The 'jam' in the middle is simply mindblowing spectacular!

[ExclaimedMusic]

The crowd seems dead at the beginning, but then they start to get it after the jam.

[brody789]

Makes a change for the UK audience (i.e. Glasto 2011) to be a LOT more rocking than the rest of Europe.

Bored watching this.

[F0rtyNuggets]

@brody789 Watching Qotsa is never boring.

[brody789]

@F0rtyNuggets Bored of the lack of enthusiasm from the audience, and compared to Glasto, Josh appears to be bored too. Just sayin

[MrThepainters]

@F0rtyNuggets you're so fucking right!!

[SeansCool1]

@brody789 well fuck off then u moany little prick no one gives a fuck!

[brody789]

@SeansCool1 Get fucked, all I am saying is this was boring to watch compared to Glastonbury due to the band and audience looking completely bored. Tosser

[SpaceCadet1]

@brody789 Shows how much you actually give a shit about the music, I'd personally go apeshit even if Qotsa played this classic tune in a fucking kitchen closet to a zero audience.

[brody789]

@SpaceCadet1 I don't give a shit about the music? I recently saw them at Glasto and also Bournemouth (as well as countless times over the last 8 years). If I didn't give a shit about the music I wouldn't have gone to see them would I?

They look piss bored at this festival and don't appear to connect with the audience who also look bored. That is all

[SpaceCadet1]

@brody789 I've always considered Qotsa one of those eloquently low-key bands that lets the music speak for itself, and that's what the crowd should be "connecting" with. I've never got the people who think that the only way to appreciate the band live is to go one way or the other berserk in the crowd. So just because everyone isn't crowd-surfing at 4:14 automatically means they are bored at the performance? And what's this about the band looking bored, not enough smiling for your liking? :D

[Kurdtttt]

@brody789 Somtimes people don't shout or jump or headbang, because they want to hear music better?

[evabakker]

@brody789 Bored cause you watched the audience instead of the band? Something's not right there honey.

[brody789]

@evabakker err when did I say that, honey?

[nunosoar]

@brody789 bring them to Portugal and we will teach everyone else :P

[jakubzmijzielina]

@brody789

it is not boring at all

[leodaegitania]

4:06 that's what gods drink.

[cwscpfc]

I fucking LOVE this song. Was ace to hear it at Glastonbury.

[FUZZYSHAM333]

GAHH!!!!

[kritverbeek]

freakin' awesome!

[JaymoeSays]

amazing performance. this shit just takes me to another place.
