@lastmadcow gay? GAY? Them Crooked Vultures, or anything with Josh Homme is the most amazing sound there is! you trying coming up with something as original as the stuff he does, and then you might be able to talk, but until then, shut up.
hahahahahahahahahaha.....@ " Does anyone say anything in these comments that isn't bitching at each other? You sound like a bunch of dickheads." i fhuckn agree...shut ya fhuckn whingn up ya sissy whingn khuntyz...
labels like "grunge" stoner rock " , those are words invented by journalists to describe an entire genre or movement , so as to make their already worthless jobs easier. These are the same writers who give album reviews after hearing an album one time .
Why does everyone argue about what genre this is? It clearly doesn't matter if it sounds damn good, and it does.
Jone Paul Jones, Josh Homme, Dave Grohl, and Alain Johannes are all talented and I hope they keep up this project for a while. Hopefully, Homme and Grohl get back to their bands in time though.
You all are cracking me up.......... Just because it's a "personal" opinion doesn't mean take it personal. LOL. What someone else thinks about the music I like never made me not like it any more or less. So who cares???????????????? I like Nirvana. I like Zepplin. I like Foo Fighters...... so blah blah blah. go buy yours today.
TheConstruct is right, this is not classic rock in the 60s/70s tradition. I don't know what you'd call it, apart from great, but there's a real soul feel to that bass groove JPJ has going. Seein' them tomorrow nite - woo hoo!!
Cheers to this band!! great fuckin song, cannot beat real music made by talented musicians.....thx to josh and dave for hooking up with john.....he must be just about as happy as you guys are...it shows!!!
these guys absoulely rock, watched an interview with JPJ and hes down for more records and tours, love cruisin in my truck to these tunes the whole cd rocks so hard
Sorry but this song sucks. and to those that say Hoome can play can suck it. The guy can't play a solo for his life. That what happends for coming from the post crappy grunge era. (The worst in music history) The solo in this song sucks. No wonder he turns away from the audience while playing.

Too bad they're NOT classic rock kiddo. Don't let yourself be fooled by JPJ sharing the stage with 3 guys that don't even deserve to be there with hi to begin with.
I agree. But better for a fact. They have nailed that summer of love sound big time. And then throwing in that Hendrix octavia, pure insane sweetness.
Since when do YOU speak for everyone? It's a widely held opinion that TCV is good. Homme has music cred. So does JPJ and Grohl. (Obviously JPJ has more cred, but you get the idea.) I'm not trying to argue with you, but it seems pretty senseless to watch a band you don't like.
Hey spicyboy I speak for myself but since I've obviously been around alot longer than you and know more about music than you ever will you can step aside. Let me guess.. You're some hump that jumped on the bullshit 'Grunge' bandwagon back in the day right? When I tell you this is NOT classic rock it's because it is NOT classic rock. It's only idiots like you that are tossing that lable on this band just like you tossed the 'Grunge' lable on bands in 91.
I never said they were classic rock. Are you reading my post at all? And I wasn't born until 93' so I missed the whole Nirvana thing. I wouldn't consider them grunge at all. In fact, I think grunge is a dumb fucking name that doesn't describe anything. TCV classic rock? Get the fuck out. Now. Go beat off to your old Motley Crue albums.
there is a touch of cream in there, thats good, and the vocal reminds me of the beatles "my love dont give me presents".
rock has developed to the stage where it is very hard to do anything NEW and so have most genres and its the same in art and architecture.
enthusiasts are always receptive to new bands presenting quality material, and it doesnt have to be new or different. many bands have tried novelty to set themselves apart and it doesnt take long before the novelty wears off.
blackhawk idiot, come out of your cave of naiviety, of course nothing is new nowadays, what we hope for is great takes on existing themes and these guys provide loads of it, crwal back under your ignorant rock
blackhawk, let's face it. Not an inch of progress in Rock going on in the last 11 or 12 years. If anything, Rock is devolving. This band at least plays a good style which I can't say the same for most bands these days.
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
What we can hope for is progress and these guys aren't making it. Making art, and rock is definitely an art form, consists of moving forward. There does, however, seem to be a consensus that not much is happening these days on the contemporary music scene.
if you want to see the epitome of a literally nonprogressive self proclaimed progressive band, i suggest you check out "Chickenfoot." setting aside my hatred for Joe Satriani, i can honestly say that although there are huge amounts of talent, throwing RHCP and ex-Van Halen members into a pile and calling it progressive material is a huge slap in the face to rock fans. JPJ and Grohl are at least trying to add two generations of music together to make a new generation of music.
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
you are correct sir. and whoever says there is nothing new is obviously only listening to corporate mainstream crap rock that they force upon the masses. this band is boring. rehashing 70's sounds.
It occurs to me that much of the criticism of my comment(s) springs from the fact the desire for there to be something new. But the only choice(s) available are rehashes of the best of the past. Rock fans are frustrated by the absence of progress, but placated while they wait by bands like this. Why does JPJ look like he's doing nothing? Because he isn't doing anything he hasn't done before--therefore, he really isn't doing anything and I doubt that he would argue.
I'd suggest you address you comments to "davidpo". If questioning the validity of a band's claim to be progressive hurts someone's feelings, then I suggest they learn to think for themselves, rather than be so easily swayed by opinions other than their own. As for your opinion, perhaps you should follow your own suggestion, instead of trying to shut down a legitimate discussion of the future of popular music.
I don't dislike it. I just find it interesting that in an age when so much technological progess is being made, there doesn't seem to be much creative progress. 'Scumbag Blues' sounds like Cream. If I were cracking wise I'd say TCV was little more than a 'tribute band.' But why go on? We simply don't agree. No harm intended.
actually, in an interview with ultimate-guitar . com, he stated that he's always tried switching up his sound and that one should "Never get stuck in a rut-- only a groove." so, i half agree with your comment, and half disagree. he's got the same sound, but he's doing something different with Grohl and Homme, here. i don't particularly like it that much, but it's new, it's rock, and it's going to be revolutionary so long as they stay together and JPJ doesn't die from old age.
Easy with the 'old age' stuff, rgbyboi. JPJ and I probably take the same vitamins. Even though I may question what they're doing, I certainly don't question their motive for doing it. Keep on rockin.
sorry if i came off "age-ist." it's just that in the experience i have with music, i get more and more nervous with every passing year that one of my favorites will expire. if the drugs and guns don't get them at an early age, then surely the wear and tear will catch up to them sooner or later. i guess it was just a poor choice of words hahaha.
I once worked with a bass player who liked to step up to the mic between songs and say, "If you didn't like the last one, you're gonna hate the next one." I suddenly remembered him when I listened to Cf.
@1glass milk & vladiato the rhythm guitarist is alain johannes he's been involved with homme 4 ages with Queens of the Stone Age & other related projects,so he deserves 2 be there & should get alot more recognition than he does
I read that Jack Bruce thought Zeppelin was shit. He said the only good member is dead. This song is called 'Scumbag Blues'. Hey, who doesn't like Cream? Even with the obvious "fuck you", they still lay it down.
yeah i read that too and i did wonder if jack bruce would think this was a cream rip off hahaha..the vocals are very strange brew...josh sounds like a young clapton on this tune :-)
And osh sings more like Jack tham Clapton on this one in my opinion..Cool thing is that i said several years ago that Qotsa is the Cream of the 21 th century..and seems more and moree true..hehe
That's sad since he sounds nothing like Clapton but yeah they are equally weak I suppose.. There's a reason why Jack Bruce never let Clapton sing until the anniversary gig as he managed to gather some fanfare over the years.
Anyway, I'm loving this album though, not the least bit of originality involved but finally some raw rock n' roll since the 1st Wolfmother album.
who the fuck is the lemon on the lights ? Nice rig - too many buttons for the operator I think...sack him...hire me. I will paint the stage with light to your sounds
I think the lights suit them fine. It doesnt matter how many buttons there are, any "lemon" would have chase, wash, and whatever scenes set up so you dont have to push 48304976 buttons a show
has anyone here seen the south park episode "make love not warcraft" season 10. well you sir (fckinguy) are clearly the fat guy sitting at home playing warcraft. your having a go at all these 'pissed off teens' having 'disscutions' with you when all your doing is trying to sound tough. and you have a youtube app on your fucking phone. fuck mate. talk about needing to get a life. congratulations dude you have succeded in life.
man, the same argument is still going on? c'mon guys, enough already.
he's good, he's bad, he's amazing, he sucks. so what? he's still out there playing with some of the best musicians, making good music that is, at least, not the majority of rubbish you hear on radio everyday. u really wana be a hater? go to some chester bennington video instead, i heard he's got some new project.
if anyone reads this and thinks of replying to any one of my comments - DONT. i dont give a fuck and would love to just drop the subject. pissed off teenagers who have no place to vent, and at the same time, are on this bands dick is the last thing i need to deal with. pissed off? dont like the comments? try to be an adult and suck it up - it's just an opinion - no need to slit your wrists over it.
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
Well...I understand that josh isn't the best but it does take a lot of skill to write songs people like. to be frank, blues stuff like BB king is boring and lame, very talented but extremely boring. page, halen, slash, clapton are all ballers and made blues intense. I'm 18 so you'll discredit me but watever. this is a good band better than most these days. the only good thing left is punk. classic rock is dieing unfortunately, but hopefully Grohl can bring it back mainstream with his bands
it is truly a sad fucking world were we once were exposed to artists like page, clapton, bb king, buddy guy, alvin lee, hendrix, and etc.... guitarists who really fucking blew ppl away with sheer skill and talent.
and here we are in 2009 where the "best" guitarist is pushing music so fucking simple and a 10 year old can play it.... like i said before, there are dozens of blues players who wil rip apart josh as far as knowing the guitar and how to pay it. our standards are so sad....
You know what else is sad? People who spend their entire lives posting in the comments for a single YouTube video and bitching. Bitch one, alright, whatever, you can do that, but you don't have to troll the joint and return regularily to speak your mind. Dude: no one cares what you have to say. It's clear that no one here seems to like you, and no one wants you here. Go away.

Hey man, didn't you learn anything from kindergarden? Just leave it be man! If someone is replying negativley to your comment, and your comments seem to be ranking up a lot of negative rating, then DON'T RETURN TO COUNTER-COMMENT! You just end up looking like an idiot! Just stop replying, and you can save yourself from making yourself look like a fool.
Don't forget Alain Johannes from the mix. Just because he is the least famous of the four does not mean he isn't talented. I saw them last night in Columbus and Alain holds his own in some pretty huge company. Jonesey was playing like 16 string Basses haha. Unbelievable how good they are after only 11 shows.
ok, if that's the case, it's simple: they are three of the best musicians of our time. although, i don't see anyone saying anything like what u mentioned in any of their comments.
NOT THE BEST, but SOME of the best. no one is better than the other, all are different style and it's unfair to say one is lesser than the other.
it's pretty similar to sabbath solo style too in away.
and as for playing a long time and being better, he actually is. he was prolly only half as good during his kyuss days. they were way too simple back then. i don't wana get into the whole guitar-playing thing too, but i maintain that his singing not as good as his guitar.
i guess it's an acquired taste, like pink floyd or sigur ros. i've some metalhead friends like him too, some don't. same goes to my other friends who love other genres.
he didn't play it "musically correct", cz some of his playing revolve about the haphazard and sometimes even not in tune "style". believe me, when i first heard little sister by qotsa, i felt like the solo was shit. a few listen made realised that it's actually not as bad as it is unorthodox.
and what about Era Vulgaris. I willingly admit i don't know shit about the guitar except what i have learned from listening to music, teaching myself to play, and what my guitar toting friends enlighten me with but, the whole album sounds out of tune except "Make it Witchyu". And thats exactly why i love it. Its all guitars but it is the strangest noises i've heard come from a guitar.
well, IF u were referring to me, note that i never said "phenomenal".
anyway, wat did u expect? some aeophrygmyxolydian scale with sweeping appregios at 10 mil notes/second?? ur funny...
when someone like JPJ calls u up and would love to do an album with u, it says a hell lot.
again, like i said, he's a great songwriter and quite a good guitarist to boot. mayb not singing, that's all. they way u put it tells us that u know little about him, but felt compelled to dish some "expert opinion".
I am glad the people at the Columbus and Philly shows I went to were not a bunch of assholes like the ones on this comment panel .

If questioning the validity of a band's claim to be progressive hurts someone's feelings, then I suggest they learn to think for themselves, rather than be so easily swayed by opinions other than their own. As for your opinion, perhaps you should follow your own suggestion, instead of trying to shut down a legitimate discussion of the future of popular music.

I don't dislike it. I just find it interesting that in an age when so much technological progess is being made, there doesn't seem to be much creative progress. 'Scumbag Blues' sounds like Cream. If I were cracking wise I'd say TCV was little more than a 'tribute band.' But why go on? We simply don't agree. No harm intended.
blackhawk651 2 years ago
actually, in an interview with ultimate-guitar . com, he stated that he's always tried switching up his sound and that one should "Never get stuck in a rut-- only a groove." so, i half agree with your comment, and half disagree. he's got the same sound, but he's doing something different with Grohl and Homme, here. i don't particularly like it that much, but it's new, it's rock, and it's going to be revolutionary so long as they stay together and JPJ doesn't die from old age.
rgbyboi9999 2 years ago
Easy with the 'old age' stuff, rgbyboi. JPJ and I probably take the same vitamins. Even though I may question what they're doing, I certainly don't question their motive for doing it. Keep on rockin.
blackhawk651 2 years ago 2
sorry if i came off "age-ist." it's just that in the experience i have with music, i get more and more nervous with every passing year that one of my favorites will expire. if the drugs and guns don't get them at an early age, then surely the wear and tear will catch up to them sooner or later. i guess it was just a poor choice of words hahaha.
you keep on rocking as well

I once worked with a bass player who liked to step up to the mic between songs and say, "If you didn't like the last one, you're gonna hate the next one." I suddenly remembered him when I listened to Cf.

That's sad since he sounds nothing like Clapton but yeah they are equally weak I suppose.. There's a reason why Jack Bruce never let Clapton sing until the anniversary gig as he managed to gather some fanfare over the years.
Anyway, I'm loving this album though, not the least bit of originality involved but finally some raw rock n' roll since the 1st Wolfmother album.

Well...I understand that josh isn't the best but it does take a lot of skill to write songs people like. to be frank, blues stuff like BB king is boring and lame, very talented but extremely boring. page, halen, slash, clapton are all ballers and made blues intense. I'm 18 so you'll discredit me but watever. this is a good band better than most these days. the only good thing left is punk. classic rock is dieing unfortunately, but hopefully Grohl can bring it back mainstream with his bands

it is truly a sad fucking world were we once were exposed to artists like page, clapton, bb king, buddy guy, alvin lee, hendrix, and etc.... guitarists who really fucking blew ppl away with sheer skill and talent.
and here we are in 2009 where the "best" guitarist is pushing music so fucking simple and a 10 year old can play it.... like i said before, there are dozens of blues players who wil rip apart josh as far as knowing the guitar and how to pay it. our standards are so sad....

Don't forget Alain Johannes from the mix. Just because he is the least famous of the four does not mean he isn't talented.

ok, if that's the case, it's simple: they are three of the best musicians of our time. although, i don't see anyone saying anything like what u mentioned in any of their comments.
NOT THE BEST, but SOME of the best. no one is better than the other, all are different style and it's unfair to say one is lesser than the other.
sususegar 2 years ago
it's pretty similar to sabbath solo style too in away.
and as for playing a long time and being better, he actually is. he was prolly only half as good during his kyuss days. they were way too simple back then. i don't wana get into the whole guitar-playing thing too, but i maintain that his singing not as good as his guitar.
i guess it's an acquired taste, like pink floyd or sigur ros. i've some metalhead friends like him too, some don't. same goes to my other friends who love other genres.
sususegar 2 years ago
he didn't play it "musically correct", cz some of his playing revolve about the haphazard and sometimes even not in tune "style". believe me, when i first heard little sister by qotsa, i felt like the solo was shit. a few listen made realised that it's actually not as bad as it is unorthodox.
sususegar 2 years ago
and what about Era Vulgaris. I willingly admit i don't know shit about the guitar except what i have learned from listening to music, teaching myself to play, and what my guitar toting friends enlighten me with but, the whole album sounds out of tune except "Make it Witchyu". And thats exactly why i love it. Its all guitars but it is the strangest noises i've heard come from a guitar.

when someone like JPJ calls u up and would love to do an album with u, it says a hell lot.
again, like i said, he's a great songwriter and quite a good guitarist to boot. mayb not singing, that's all. they way u put it tells us that u know little about him, but felt compelled to dish some "expert opinion".
