Queens Of The Stone Age - Mexicola [Live]

[daverlb]

Right now, Joey Castillo is playing Mexicola on the broken heads of the halfwits who disliked this video.

[TheMKUProject]

3 dislikes? The volcano gods will feast well tonight.

[boxcutterbiff]

It's called Mexicola, and it's tasty.

[Mr77Prince]

I like the way they upped the tempo and distortion in this, it's like they mixed Mexicola with an element of the album Songs for the Death.

[gumborific]

Silky, smooth, gritty, gravel in your face rock! It's like loving and hating yourself at the same time!

[ConiferTreez]

Kyuss>>>>>>this band

[markkalady]

THAT SOLO IS PURE AMPLIFIED GOLD SEX

[fenix478]

in my, their most heavier and powerful song. I passed thru so much shit and this song saved me sometimes in my life.

[Sagebigly7]

@fenix478 My favorite Qotsa song as well. Always has been, so far will stay the same. Something powerful in it, with the lyrics and groove and instruments just flow together.

[haydenvaughn]

Even if the groove is different, Joey is making them work for it and it sounds great

[tintin4561]

that solo at the end was sick

[gravitywheel]

I saw them on this tour. It was a good show, but I do sort of miss Nick on bass. I know he's supposed to be a douchebag or whatever, but I loved his antics as well as his playing. I generally prefer the older incarnations of QotsA, but this version of the band is kickass too.

[afterlifejourney]

josh is only wearing a shirt and je's sweating

I wonder how troy(who is all suited up) is still standing there must be like 150 deg under the suit

[haydenvaughn]

@afterlifejourney I have always wondered the same thing, he must be magic

[chrisedyy]

gooooood



[CB836]

seeing these guys in may, think i will die from either earfuckage or just the fact i will be seeing queens of the stone age live playing the 1998 album.....i think i need my hand holding 0_o

[jordanreynolds2007]

@CB836 omfg i cant wait mate!!!!!!! this friday for me :D. Have a fuckin blast , i know we will nothing could be more guaranteed!

[CB836]

so much fucking energy !!!!!!!!

[kizzle1985]

sorry josh but this version is too slick

i liked the early qotsa lowsound and especially this song

but qotsa to me is nick and josh

most likely with dave and mark

the 2002 summer tour was amazing, maybe i live too much in the past

but it struck me more in the beginning

anyways, great song and keep rocking

ur a selfmade legend and thats something to be proud of

no gimmicks, just skills

[markkalady]

this band is saves lifes

[markkalady]

@markkalady this band save lifes you mean

[markkalady]

@markkalady YES THATS WHAT I MEANT THANK YOU I'M GIVING YOU A thumb up TO YOU FOR CORECTING ME :)

[martyhizzle]

that guitar sounds so rad

[Ioskar095]

Do you, people feel the same thing? Bass sounds little different than Oliveri and it's not as good as Nick? :C

[alternativefandotcom]

@Ioskar095 The bass in the studio version from the debut record is actually played by Josh.

[plateofshrimp80s]

@Ioskar095 Yer not gonna start going on about how Dave is a better drummer than Joey too, are you? Cuz nobody cares. beyond josh, the lineup is always gonna be fluid. this isn't a bad thing

[mantatnam]

@plateofshrimp80s joey speeds up every song

[discoduck1994]

@mantatnam They also sped songs up live when Dave was with them. Hell they even sped up songs live when Alfernando was with them. So shut the fuck up and enjoy the music

[KingGoombah]

fucking massive!

[crudeskater4]

Best version of Mexicola! Love the crunchy, dirty guitar sound !

[spicyMcHAGGIS9green]

WHO THE FUCk DISLIKED IT?!?! WHO?!?!

[akarmatourist]

ya great!!!

[akarmatourist]

ya great!!!

[Bionic3333]

Two people accidentally clicked on the wrong button.

[philwalker]

anyone know what kind of guitar hommes is playing? looks like a rickenbacher.

[TaffyRaphie]

@philwalker its a Motor Ave Bel-Air, cool guitars for sure

[hanusanus666]

@philwalker motorave.com

[officialthetramp]

@philwalker rickenbacker not bacher

[TheNickSmithey]

When I hear music from QOTSA, I get a creepy, yet rebellious feeling. Can't really explain it. I think Josh is the kind of guy that is reserved, but he would definitely stick a bitch with a rusty screw driver and then eat a fuck load of peyote and get lost in the desert for a few days, leaving his band mates to wonder where he is, and finding the dead body.

[Aztek92]

@TheNickSmithey I am now off to fulfill your comment.

[themightyrei]

josh would curb stomp the two cunts who disliked this

[xXJoshzillaXx]

@themightyrei haha damn straight he would!

[STEEVEBUSTER]

great quality! thumbs up!!

@TheBallBlog its a shame it doesnt show who did it .) it should be a new function! list of users who liked and disliked something.)

[allviolet]

i fucking LOVE this song

[nirewolf0]

hell yeah this song kicks so much ass!! And Josh is the MAN... I saw Them Crooked Vultures, but I can't wait to see QOTSA!! As soon as they go on tour again, I'm definitely seeing them!! (and I hope they play this song) <3

[TommyTheCommi]

@nirewolf0 For real man! Luckily they are touring again; unfortunately the only show they are doing in the states before they go to Europe is in L.A. so if I want to see them then I'm going to have to drive there from Oakland. I'm dieing to see them live for the first time and I'm still beating my self up for missing them when they played in my area.

[ninjatrout]

@TommyTheCommi

Oakland, CA? Screw you, I would have to drive from Memphis, TN, haha. Although maybe I am closer to Europe?

[TommyTheCommi]

@ninjatrout lol we could carpool together and go 50-50 on the gas of our amphibious car. lol

[yovioleatuzorramadre]

Mikey is handle this bassline with no problems

[SgtBastard101]

Wow,Nick Olveri grew his hair out!

[tuber2654]

@SgtBastard101  no i think he cut it of of his chin and glued it to his head

[SgtBastard101]

@tuber2654 I think I detect sum pubes on there too.

[kvnknrd]

what a FUCKIN SETLIST

[CB836]

out of 131 of their songs i have , this is the best i think. powerful music !

[BoothJudas]

@CB836 Man, I think I'm right there with you...although I really love the bronze alot.

Top 3:

Mexicola

The Bronze

Someone's in the Wolf

just a speculative list. my favorites go in rotation.

[deadpool1102]

GODDAMN IT!!!

Nick remains the Bassist that MADE this band. Heavy and Groovy.

[TheBallBlog]

@deadpool1102

Nick didnt write this bassline, its off QOTSA first full album, so Josh would have wrote it. Jus Sayin'

[BoothJudas]

Maybe its just me...but in many of the Mexicola live videos you can hear Nick fuck up the intro. Misses a beat in the same spot every time...but sometimes he doesn't. Thats all i have to say about that. Tho mikey does change up the intro a bit.

[JHo4God]

@BoothJudas but remember on the original cd version if your talking about the second octave of c mikey plays at 0:41secs, just before the ascent it doesnt have that note on the cd version. if u know what bit im talking about??

[BoothJudas]

@JHo4God I know what your talkin aboot. But I have to apologize. When I made this comment I was thinking about the bass solo in No One Knows...sometimes nick gets sometimes it just that wee bit fucked up. regardless I dig nick's style. Mikey does it justice without sounding exactly the same. win. win.

[FlyPie95]

Oh josh. please switch back to your Ovation Ultra GP and put down those darn hallow bodies

[MWR93]

@FlyPie95 hey do not Dis on the hollow bodies man, but i will agree that Ovations are kick ass. Good day

[mperoug]

I like Mike...

but I would like to see Ben Kenney from Incubus playing with this band...

Nick is the best by the way..

[ShimmyKid]

This was better with Nick as the bass player.....:-\

[glockmaster123]

pure sex

[Bigmanwithagun13]

badass

[dougleberry]

do you reckon god gave josh ginger hair just to level out with the fact that he's fucking huge and hench as fuck? I'd love to see someone rip on his hair. i personally don't have the balls.

[ADeformedCat]

Probs just to boost the gingers low reputation, josh is the only fucking ginger I respect

[EnlightenedExile]

Joey has gotta be one of the sickest drummers i've seen in a whille.

Hey guys, if you have the time, check me out trying to play some QOTSA songs.

[joshcz]

best singing from Josh

[PearlDrummer25]

it's not the same without Nick

[swansong200]

yeah the women dont have black eyes

[joshcz]

true

[Asciipanda]

@PearlDrummer25

Yeah I miss wife beaters too.

[seasofluck]

The studio version didn't have Nick...

[IIcavemenII]

@PearlDrummer25 yea its better!

[0Mexicola0]

awesome song =)

[93steven]

thats one fucking big guitar

[scottpw]

What guitar is josh using? That isn't some crazy Rickenbacker is it?

[blitheringFool]

That's a Belaire, made by Motor Ave Guitars.

[JHo4God]

motor ave bel aire its called.

[whuferfuferdinosours]

this is the best live performance i've seen yet, except i'm not really sure what Troy is doin' there with the chorus...

[D35J4RD1N5]

playing the same thing as Josh I think

[wuckers]

this is mega

[aliascaplan]

wow, good show

[IXIdesert]

this is 100 times better then the original i love it <3

[peteole]

its quite a bit better, not as clean as the original, more rock and roll.

[Theblob516]

It's really not a big difference in speed either way. But I can admit at times they do play some songs TOO fast live, like avon and no one knows. They don't do it all the time but a few shows Ive seen them go a bit over the top

[carsrcrap]

its live  anyway, people play faster live when the adrenaline kicks in unless they're fucked.

[IKTET]

i like it better faster

i dont see why you say it lost groove

:\

[yiommi]

Sorry i just love this song and i think it sounds better slower than they usually play it im not putting it down this version rules Get over yourselves

[IIcavemenII]

holy shit

what a great song

i like the development from the beginning to the end it changes very nice

great stuff

[yiommi]

If theres no groove its TOO fast

[mpk779]

well im sure me and 22,000 others grooved our tits off while you lingered on the tempo

[PimpSonnyMax]

@mpk779 *52,338 now ;)

[tehbagoftea]

you just cant feel the groove, so piss off and stop killing it for the rest of us

[yiommi]

TOO FAST

[mpk779]

faster than the original never means too fast

[andrewt248]

I've been a Queens fan for a LONG TIME and I love Nick Oliveri and his contributions to the band. That said, I am a big Mikey Shoes fan, as well. I can't wait to here his contributions to the next album!

[hrc0519]

Why did they kick nick out? i never found out. I heard stuff like he beat his wife or something and I have seen him get naked, but that wouldn't be a reson to kick someone out of band would it? i would encourage that kind of behavior.

[howareyoudoing0]

he beat his girlfriend and that´s against josh his principal´s

[Jaysus5466]

whats mikeys bass a 51' percussion is it?

[w0125262]

yep, sounds like butter...I love all qotsa but I'd sacrifice a nut to jam with em some of the old stuff, so relaxed and fluid...check the smile on Josh just after the verse riff kicks in, I'd be grinning too

[D35J4RD1N5]

yeah it's a nice n bassy tele bass

[chillerbro9000]

i like this version more than the versions with nick

end of story

[Scorbutia]

ai, you're right!!!!

[randomovertone]

nick was a good bassist.

but if you cant respect someone as a person, how can you respect them as a musician.

mikey is just as good, if not better. definitely hell never be the same as nick, but that doesnt make him worse.

its just like when joey replaced dave, everyone hated him, now im in love with the mexican monkey :D

give mike a chance.

[Hophex]

nick played the bass way heavier this is bull shit

[PimpSonnyMax]

how can he? josh won't have let mikey just waltz in and make the song not as heavy

it will be the same effect

nick was a good bassist but i think mikey is better because he has more style and is actually if you watch him, a better player

[FERENCHAK]

i think they're both excellent players, but Nick has a better stage presence.

All mikey does is shake his hair around.

[PimpSonnyMax]

nick fitted them better in the older days

but now mikey is better

he doesn't just shake his hair at all.

have you not seen his karate kicks????!!!!!!

lol

[apck8]

Yep.

[Totalmachine09]

All nick did was get naked lol I actually miss that

[FilmJunky42]

well if you want to watch a naked band watch Red Hot Chili Peppers lol

[LennyBP]

Man i love that bass, or more specifically, the bass work on the first album, it's so much heavier and distorted than now, but it's all good, cause it's all Homme, and it's all Queens!

[Jinngryphon]

it's on their first album "Queens of the Stone Age"

[rhba]

This is so tits!!! Hail Homme!!!

[schecterplayerr]

what model guitar is josh strummin

[Stigmakind]

thats a Le Mans or sumthing , some sort of custom guitar, not cheap lol

[samdh4]

lol yeah like 3700

[D35J4RD1N5]

motorave belair.

[toolkyuss]

What's wrong with a little extra speed. Joey still rocks.

[wouterdesmedt]

Joey always rocks

[SmellsLikeLithium]

can u buy this concert on dvd or something? i want to see the other tracks in the listing. btw joey is awesome, as good as dave grohl and possibly better, but i haven't seen anyone against him on this page so whats with all the whining?

[vithoven]

In fact I just got to buy a DVD from this performance, and it looks and sounds fuckin awesome, but I got at flea market, haha, so, it might be difficult to get it for you, but don't worry later I'll be uploading the entire show in HQ for y'all to see it...

[vithoven]

which one song douyou want to see from this tracklisting?

[Hendricks56]

SONG FOR THE DEAD

please

[vithoven]

you wish to hear any other track from this performance?

[EderPaz]

I think people will hate anyone that's not Dave Grohl in this band. Quite possibly since Songs for the Deaf rocketed QotSA to a higher stardom then where they once were. I love Dave, but people need to realize he was just a temp. person in the band. Move on, and accept the awesomeness that is QotSA.

[TehWickturkey]

lol its ironic how when dave joins a band, the band becomes more popular. just look what he did with nirvana :P

[w0125262]

the fact the the music speeds up and slows down (very slightly) is actually a good thing...its often called 'push and pull' by musicians and it gives the performance a bit of added tension which is really important for live rock. Ever seen a dance act or an industrial band where the drums are just loops or preprogrammed? Terribly dry, no drama. People bag on Joey but I can't see why. He wouldn't have lasted this long in QOTSA if sucked. Think about it.

[punk91]

I was always annoyed by the way Joey played the songs this one in particular.. but I've actually watched him mold himself into the situation quite nicely. And the push and pull thing is super true... can't leave home without it... I like to call it tension and release... it's like sex a big build up til the final explosion...

[guns1200]

i think that the awfull image quality was the factor that make it a little bad , but it's still a great video . i like the studio version best . I LOVE QOTSA!!

[funnyname92]

i like the added pace joey brings. it makes the songs different to their studio versions, and i think that is very important to a good live band

[ManInTheBox0784]

lol, qotsa are a bunch of pretty boys.... they still rock though. I own all their albums.

[KVDthe1ST]

There best song!

[SmellsLikeLithium]

Troy and Josh are the coolest things to happen to guitar since... well... ever

[VAANET]

And Chris Shifflet the way he plays looks so cool and low just sounds great.

[Josephdorf03]

Qotsa always has the creepiest intros. They just give me the chills. So awesome!

Listen to that bassline!

[zchipperz]

for sure, joey plays a vary tight line. but compared to the live version where Trauntman played drums, thgis one is worse. For two reasons: Joey likes to speed up. Yes, it's his style. But this style influences the way Josh sings. With such a fast tempo there's not much time to take a deep breath and take high notes as he did on the version with trauntman. And the second: sompare the Ride theme that both drummers play after 4:30. where's these tasty and smoth drive? All messy.

[justin3atworld]

i kinda like it sped up but you are right, joey tends to speed it up.

[JAWZlicious]

the bass intro dictates the speed of this song...

[jmd620]

at least for one sec we can all pretend nick never left the band...no offense to mikey, he is talented, but qotsa are a VERY different band now in the context of their chronology

[wickerone]

i love this dvd

[OdogtownO]

Joey is the best drummer that queens ever had....Josh sayed it himself so shut the fuck up..joey is the best thing that happened to qotsa......he brings theyr style way up...

[mmandreazz]

joey is a perfect drummer so all you haters: shut the fuck up!!

[stopthrm]

w0rld thats full of sh!t and gasoline!

[anotherstoneage]

That guitar is a MotorAve. Fucking bad ass guitar it is custom but you can buy one just search the name on google. He was based out of LA but I think the company moved. Alex Turner from Arctic Monkeys also uses one.

[Megahurtz1992]

Any idea what guitar Josh Homme is using in this vid?

Or is it custom?

[theladz123]

its a motor ave bel aire, cost like £3750 or sum shit like that

[reydemagival]

Anybody who disses Joey Castillo has obviously never touched a drum set in his life..

[shredswami]

yeah, he did some cool shit on some Danzig records as well. He does push the tempo, but its his style, and if he did suck then he woulda been outta the band by now. These guys are pros.

[sintor1]

I know just wanted to say that this is not dave because sb said so

[sintor1]

Rly awesome but iT's not Dave Grohl on the drums =o

[PinkEyedSyndrome]

dumbass

[theowlseesatnight]

That's coz Dave didn't fucken play drums for Mexicola, Alfredo did ya fucken wingnut. I'm sick of douchebags always referring to Dave's drumming. Sure he's a champ, but Joey is a god among men when it comes to drums. Moron.

[r0xb0x]

go mexico!

[kwright369]

It's getting to the point that I will have to have a play list simply labeled QOTSA.

[Drummerdude1639]

Ive never seen Mike use a bass that wasn't a butterscotch vintage

[wed164]

i saw them in september and he played a sunburst

[PinkEyedSyndrome]

yea he sure likes to use those two same basses all the time.

I shouldnt be talking tho, lately ive been playing all orange instruments

[Drummerdude1639]

thats cuz orange is the best color on earth

[PinkEyedSyndrome]

indeed

[hooraysweden]

Dude, I play a customized orange Strat with a P90 in the bridge I call the Orange Lazarus... it gets all its sound from the color... rock on

[mattb666]

have you got the performance of songs for the dead in this set??

[leviv06]

not a bad song but n ot my favourite and oh my god they perform well

[szalonyromek]

solo is sick [;
