Qotsa - Battery Acid - french TV 8 may 2007

[BigOlBagOfWhatsNew]

I used to like their debut album the most, but now it's a tie between that and Era Vulgaris!

[thechuckyduck]

QOTSA's ability to make music that sounds fucking good but different the stuff they've done before is what makes them so fucking unique & awesome.

[sanjurodog]

KICK ASS!

[TheCbates5]

They look as awesome as they sound. Sexy as hell.

[robslater90]

You guys need to stop winging about them "apparently selling out" just becuase they sound different! Different doesn't necessarily mean bad, especially not in this case. I like all of Queens work and and this song right here is so awesome as does their latest work "Era Vulgaris" it's very creative and experimental, it rocks!

[Kraryx]

love it! love this video. and Josh Homme (no homo)

[bABadaBu]

best album !

[StarInvasion]

sex drugs rock n roll

[Herrefrakk]

if you feel like you can tell queens of the stone age what to do start your own band, sick of all you posers screaming at bands that have "sold out". bands like queens actually know what they're doing, josh homme's a genious.

[stoyashot]

Personally I though the last album was pretty good and I dont think Josh Homme will ever let QotSA be a sell out.

[DanielPfirsich]

We'll see in the future...

But look at the marketing thing for Era Vulgaris. Corporate design, promos everywhere. This was not an underground thing anymore!

Dont get me wrong, it is a pretty good album. But to me it would feel better without this hype.

[PimpSonnyMax]

the artwork with the album? bulby and that lot? it's all taking the piss outa advertising it lol

it says like 30% extra better on my vinyl of make it wit chu

i thought it was quite genius

plus if you listen to the tunes on the record they are quite un mainstream. they're still keeping it dirty trust

and the new bassist is mikey shoes who is a pretty fine bass player to be honest

if you've seen them live with him you'll know he ain't some pretty poster boy at all

(:

[spicyMcHAGGIS9green]

They were never underground. They were always kind of big.

[stoneager90]

@spicyMcHAGGIS9green

Im at uni in Milwaukee and i'm pretty sure there's only one other person in my dorm who knows who they are. i'm not saying they're underground, but aside from people who listen to a whole lot of music or listen to alt rock radio stations extremely regularly, not way too many people know who QoTSA are.

[Idey1994]

HOW in the world is this mainstream? just because they have changed and im guessin you dont like it doesnt mean theyve gone mainstream or sold out at all

[QOTSA1337]

Do you know why josh picked him? attitude. Josh doesn't care what he looks like, or how he acts on stage, he cares about why he plays. trust his instinct, it works pretty well

[spicyMcHAGGIS9green]

Shuman kills it dude. Fuck off. Nick was a wife beater.

[markkalady]

@spicyMcHAGGIS9green BUT STILL HEWAS A BAD ASS BAASSPLAYA



[jurhei]

this song is really not boring it's fuckin great along with the rest off this album

[claurio]

this album rocks, but this song is kinda boring...

MISFIT LOVE IS THE REAL DEAL!!!! TAKES THIS SHIT AND SWEEP THE FLOOR WITH IT!!!!

[hardhittn63]

the classic qotsa two power chord chorus. Score

[punkchula]

This album fucking rocks! I love how they evolve from album to album, you never get bored and you've always got a fresh perspective on what's driving those boys to write. They always keep their awesome groove and grit though, and that is why I love them.

[kelpokelp]

@punkchula

Exactly!

I bought Songs for the Deaf a few years ago, then I bought Era Vulgaris, and one month ago I got Rated R. All three off them are different in sound, but I like all of them. :)

Also, you need to check out Them Crooked Vulture (if you haven't already done so) :P

[Jukkis07]

People are such idiots if they think QOTSA is mainstream nowadays, when they are in their most experimental phase ever. It's only mainstream 'cause it sells, it doesn't always mean the music is shit. Although it is the case in most of MTV-music.

[chrisbass48]

Experimental indeed !Into the Hollow is awesome!

I wonder why they left the Title Track off the Album ?

[fallstel]

I know, I had to fucking buy it separately =[

[Grendelsnowman]

well hell, they were never really mainstream.

the mainstream adopted them, not vice versa.

they've always made good music.

[woodenrabbit69]

what does it matter? its good music.

[robslater90]

@Jukkis07 So very right. Thanks.

[BaasStuart]

i never really liked the new album, it was too mainstream... but after listening to the songs a couple times, i think theyre fcking great :D

[symbolic6arthur]

i agree , it took me awhile to get into era vulgaris

[123hero321]

Plastic plastic battery acid babeh!!!

[makz18]

SPASTIC plastic battery acid, actually.

[LikeOhMahGoose]

Oh my god, Josh is hot no matter what<3

[haterunner]

I love Josh in his lumberjack outfit. hehe

[Nanaki2042]

AWESOME! long live the queens!

[dmanstoit]

sandman on the drums folks...nah...joey kicks ass...:-D love this fuckin song and loved the fucking concert at MSG last sat ;-)

[BLAASTMIJNEZAKISOP]

Kickass song!

[seldead]

You're a good man DrSeed

[DrSeed]

NO, I wanna listen to queens of the stone age!

[Nanaki2042]

Love QOTSA! Era Vulgaris is different. But still kick ass :D

[adamframe]

yea still kicks ass! apparently it was like their "fuck you" album

[systemserj334]

pretty much all the songs in Era Vulgaris are great, and definately in a different direction then there other stuff. Lots more keyboard and weird sounds from the guitars. It is really rough sounding, not polished at all, but thats the sound theyre going for.

[elcotin]

this album is not as good as the others, for sure they sound a lot better live but the lp isnt very good if u ask me. now listen qotsa or rated r or songs for the dead and ull see what i mean. dont know why oliveri got kicked but hes the diference between those albums and the last 2, lullabies was good thou

[tritriren]

I agree with you. First time I heard Era Vulgaris I was like "seems like they only mad live takes for this one" and I thought it was quiet cool, but previous albums are the best. (sorry I'm french haha)

[RHCPwoot]

14,000th view woo

[cuthbert11]

just seen them live and I tell you it was the BEST live show ever...i even made out with a random girl for like an hour in vancouver

[SUPERNERD77]

Hard shit

[Sodowar]

Qotas rocks !

[plantfootfan]

Dude, Oliveri beat his girlfriend isnt that why he got kicked? This guy can bass just as good.

[stratmaniac]

the new bassist is gay. oliveri back

[amNINyz01]

damn.

i think that all songs from eraV. are great or not?!

[LLMelvinL]

they are pretty hot, Running joke is a real good song.

[superhappyrobot]

Jesuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuus ! these guys are messiahs of rock ! that song is fucking good the best of the album with i'm designer...

[powdereddonut]

looks like they were having fun on stage.....

[INF3KTI0N]

my second fav song off the album. this vid kick ass

[DANNY200000000000000]

didn't like this song till i heard it live, think it's class now, weird no?

[kostis79]

great song, the best one performed live from EV, so far! Now, waiting for live versions of Run Pig Run and River In The Road. They should be killers!

[omfgikilledkenny]

I saw a video of River In The Road acoustic, it was brilliant.

[Kanjolo]

i love this band!!

[knockmed0wn]

SO nice to see them playing their new material live!!

[hikupoopoo]

this song looks so fucking fun to play live i would go nuts

[CobaltNight]

quality, quality,quality.

[Barracuda007]

what track does billy gibbons play on the new album?

[funkerofmunkees123]

sorry dude billy isnt on the new album

[gazaot]

am sure i seen somewhere that he is on there

[KCOutlaw0]

no he was on burn the witch and in case u dont follow qotsa that was on their last album, lullabies to paralyze

[gazaot]

well aparently he was on but i just read an interview saying that he came to record on the cd but ended up just getting drunk with qotsa

[Drawbu]

Just Great!!

[someguyinguam]

Did anyone ever notice there are two different ways to listen to the beat on "Battery Acid"? Just like "Angel With the Scabbed Wings" on Antichrist Superstar.

[elkhadi]

someguyinguam, that's EXACTLY what I thought first time I heard this brilliant song... Great minds think alike, eh? :P

[ArtsNL]

great :) thx 4 the up

[Papatorrejano]

Cool backup vocals by Troy. Danke schön Mr. Shinkibo.
