[Migas128]

Avon :D

[gedomazo19]

porca merda che canzone!!

[NathanielHawley]

Mark Lanegan is amazing!

[NathanielHawley]

Background vocals are amazing! I can't tell if they blend into the slide guitar!

[kunaikai]

I love how josh changed it (not dissing this version)

[BlandesTea]

@kunaikai this is alain johannes singing, not josh homme.

[sentientecho]

love the image

[fickah221]

Much better than avon with its gay "duh duh duh duh duh" parts!

[Ironicarm]

@fickah221 WRONG. Those "gay" parts are very soulful and melodic.

[MrDavidpatmore]

nice!



[casetera7]

Desert Sessions Travel Agency... take a trip with us!.

[custardo1]

fucking cool love it wanna swallow it hole breath it in

[custardo1]

fucking cool love it wanna swallow it hole breath it in

[RushAnthem69]

Feels so good to have it!

[MrDavidpatmore]

music !

[sagewisdom09]

I can't choose between Nova and Avon. It's hard for me to listen to one without hearing the other right afterwards.

[spiros11386]

I prefer avon, but this one has a whole different charm to it ;)

[Outlawstar615]

Have you guys seen/heard the vid where nova/avon are mixed together....it seems that they should be like that for real..I luvs them both..

[MrDavidpatmore]

always the desert always the desert!!

[MrDavidpatmore]

so recomend a tune mr idiot and i will listen but be aware im english god damn you!

[MrDavidpatmore]

no no mr idiot no devils advocate stuff that will not work on me! my ears do the listening my brain tells me if i like it full stop!!!

[fuckamericanidiot]

@MrDavidpatmore but you say it as if the buck stops with you, 'sorry guys, i'm afraid this sucks' 'damn it!'

[MrDavidpatmore]

the later live version of avon was improved by this rendition and thats a fact listen to both live versions and the later version is heavy but smacks of the nova influence!

[MrDavidpatmore]

im sorry but this is better than avon by a long chalk!

[fuckamericanidiot]

@MrDavidpatmore why are you sorry? i think the vocal on this sucks ass, pete stahl is great on the other stuff but i don't like him on this

[yovioleatuzorramadre]

@fuckamericanidiot you are a fucking idiot, nova is better than avon, specially because of the vocals

[RushAnthem69]

@fuckamericanidiot Now I know why "idiot" is in your account name.

[chosenkiller]

@RushAnthem69

You surely love the Desert Sessions. We all seem to listen to this good tune as long as it is up..

[RushAnthem69]

@chosenkiller I really do love them haha, its quite evident. Don't mean to brag but theres several Desert Sessions videos where i've the top comments... When something invokes emotions like the Desert Sessions do me, I just let it all out.

[kjaks]

The mood of Nova is a bit lighter than Avon. I enjoy both, but I prefer Josh's way of writing lyrics.

[torpeligneB]

Tiens, c'est pas Josh Homes qui chante ? ...

[meisgiorgos]

Nova = new

so avon makeup makes you look old :D

[Kickstand27]

@meisgiorgos

Actually, Nove and Avon came out of the same Desert Session, uhh... session.

It was an experiment to see what a different singer would do witht he same tune.

[PhillipThunderGrunge]

That would have been so awesome if he played the song backwards...Give it the reversed title and the reversed music...

[shorttimer09]

that would be gay

[NuclearGuru350]

That would not be gay. Homme has said himself before that he likes to play his own riffs backwards to see if they sound better that way

[dehast]

lawyered

[MentalPlasma]

LOL!

[thierryman]

uh... duh?

What's Nova spelled backwards?

[RushAnthem69]

Nice obvservation Einstein.

[righi80]

really? oh my god i never noticed! you're a genius! please help me! tell me why we must die

[Skatermandudeguy]

did you figure that one out on your own?

[fuckamericanidiot]

wow

[FabFab14]

the desert sessions was formed by Josh Homme, front of qotsa. and avon and nova are just each other spelt backwords.

[InTheSideOfLight]

by any chance could this be brant bjork. that what i believe!

[spiros11386]

if i can't sing my blues, can i drink my booze? lol, love it

[spleendork]

The difference is this is the very first version so it's real old and played with a bunch of diferent artists. So in that sence its amazing, where as avon is done just by the QotSA members. therefore its got a queens sound. Both are real good... gotta love how 1 song can sound the same yet so different.

[ponyhof23]

do you know what a melody is?

[qotsarule412]

who sings on this again i ferget?

[RushAnthem69]

I believe its Pete Stahl, same guy who sings Cake, another excellent tune.

[vullmoxx]

@RushAnthem69 Damn right it's Pete Stahl, same guy that fronts Earthlings? (.)

[garse70]

@RushAnthem69 also sang for scream, goatsnake and wool. if you haven't heard any of these bands, you should give them a listen.

[RushAnthem69]

@garse70 And Earthlings? Pete Stahl is an amazing musician. I love watching the old video of him singing with Queens' they used to do Cake live with him. Not that I blame them, with just the début under their belt they needed to bring in an amazing DS performer.

[LookingOutForever]

@RushAnthem69

He is Pete.

[NathanielHawley]

@RushAnthem69 Mark Lanegan 

[RushAnthem69]

@NathanielHawley Huh?

[Boganator4]

The singer from queens of the stone age.

[Flames344Life]

I prefer Avon. It rocks harder, has a lower pitch to it, and the lyrics are better and they fit better with the tone of the music.

[RushAnthem69]

Maybe your name should be flamer4life, lol just kidding but srsly don't dog on Nova, its just as good.

[Flames344Life]

hey hey hey...uncalled for lol. They're both good because they're associated with the Desert Sessions, and thus kick ass.

[RushAnthem69]

Yeah but in all honest I do prefer this version lol. Just like I prefer the Desert Sessions version of I wanna mke it wit chu. Plus you came in here with a negative comment, do not expect someone not to stick up for the song ;)

[Flames344Life]

Well, I prefer the DS version of In My Head (or Something), so to each his own. And good for you for sticking up for what you believe in. If you disagree with me, I would rather you let me know than just dismiss my comment as bullshit. :)

[w35m4n]

His bigger problem is liking the Flames.

[lurkingchicken]

...LOL.

[fuckamericanidiot]

@Flames344Life yeah and josh's voice sounds quite haunting, love it

[thatdudeisthefuckin1]

super fucking sickkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkk

[RushAnthem69]

God I love the Desert Sessions.

[snoochins]

Feels so good, To have it.

EEEIF A CANT SING MA BLUES, CAN A DRINK MA BOOZE, A HAVE PAID MA DUES, YOU CAN HIDE LIKE FOOLS OH YEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEAH

[DrakeGosson]

This is either the original or the cover..."Avon" is way better...

[iSabotage]

Original.

[cultcat0711]

Avon is Nova backwards - both are on Mans Ruin Desert Sessions 3

[DrakeGosson]

Just saying "Avon" sounds better. Not questioning if it's legit or not...

[brimike3]

but I'm questioning the question of the question of questioner, ya dig?

[RushAnthem69]

How is it way better? If Nova didn't exsist then Avon wouldn't. That alone is enough to make them almost equal, plus the fact that the two songs have different lyrics and they both rock. I myself love them both equally... this one sounds a bit more spacey but QotSAs is a bit harder, the best of both worlds.

[spleendork]

True true. Couldn't have said it better. Both versions are awesome. Leave it to Josh Homme to take the SAME song and make it different. What a find.

[dagothwit]

FishWasALady had nearly the entire Desert Sessions collection up at one point, but it looks like maybe he put something up that he shouldn't and his stuff was removed. A sad day for me indeed.

[hanusanus666]

@DrakeGosson true but I like the vocals in the chorus just for a change

[josholivier]

I think I prefer nova better

[Trebor75317]

I prefer Avon..or at least I don´t like this version of nova so much, and it´s the only one i know..
