[01] Queens of the Stone Age - Millionaire (Live From The Basement)

[Axellson]

I like hearing Josh sing this one for once. Obviously it will always be "Nick's Song", but it's always cool to here a different take on a song you've listened to a million times.

[Grishnahk]

This music is great in anyways. But only has the true feelings with Nick singing it.

[DrinkkMyDiarrhea]

I never thought i'd say it. This is not the same without Nick. It sounds improvised. I think Josh has one of the sexiest, most amazing, clear, beautiful voices in music. But this is odd. Just like him singing Auto Pilot would be. TL;DR, Not sure if want. Love them anyway. QOTSA is my life.

[kanyon842]

@DrinkkMyDiarrhea Was just about to say the same thing. Deff not the same.

[Bananahogie]

Just awesome

[jimzer]

i got the 666th like haha.

[ThePolarOObear]

I don't understand the whole discussion whether nick's vocals are more badass for this song than josh's. I just dont get it. I just can say, that this version in particular have blown me away the first time i heard it. Josh's interpretation with PUREST rock'n'roll vocals fits just PERFECT and makes millionaire a song it was always supposed to be: pure and raw rock'n'roll. It doesn't get any any better than this, honestly! Fucking masterpiece... ... Nick: fuck yourself. haters gonna hate. cheers

[MOTARDkamikaze]

@ThePolarOObear Agree with your opening statement.

A badass song will always be a badass song reguardless of whos on vox, Joshs tone makes it so. Check out the Desert Session version on my channel with Mario Lalli on vox very badass and as raw as your ever gonna get

[flaoidawds]

this song isnt for being played without nick

[05thobet]

anyone who hasn't heard the original version of this with nick please do.

[Theawesomegitardude]

most awesome scream ever

[SuperBspb]

Not the same without Nick Oliveri.

[bleguay]

2:25 mikey spits... fucking legend

[kaiebelmodezar]

1:36 lil john

[Moschusochse]

just Mario is able to sing this song

[birolha]

I MISSS NICK !!!!!

[sanjurodog]

You Think I Ain't Worth A Dollar, But I Feel Like A Millionaire.

[petrunic1]

misfits t-shirt. me like Joey!

[natewez]

this song literally rips ass holes open

[SankePlishin]

@natewez That's where that other hole come from....

[speakwordsfoo]

THIS PERFORMANCE IS INVALID, JOEY IS WEARING A SHIRT

[spicyMcHAGGIS9green]

I think it's funny how Mikey is the youngest dude out of the whole bunch, but he's probably got to do more cool shit than anyone his age.

You know why? Cause' he's in fuckin' QOTSA.

[yam83]

Dammit, it's not the same without Nick...

[rawax666]

sucks, give aus back the good queens!!!

[yam83]

@rawax666 Fsck off. Even without Nick on the pipes it's freaking awesome.

[cgonzalezchunal]

I miss Nick.....=(



[eisdrummer]

fucking perfect sound

[MrDeliMeatSlicer]

GIVE me Some MORE!

[popkorn256]

Miss Nick's voice for this song :(

[speakwordsfoo]

personally i don't even like screaming, so i kinda like josh's voice better doing it. I know i'm outnumbered but that's just my opinion

[BOOMSHINNY]

@speakwordsfoo Im with you on that one, much prefer josh doing it

[paulrevere83]

@speakwordsfoo I second that

[TheSentinel488]

Not sure why Josh doesn't have the new bass player "sing" this song. As much as I love Josh's voice, it just doesn't belong with this jam. Lacks the intensity that the song demands.

[MrDeliMeatSlicer]

@TheSentinel488 true dat.

[hairypineapplewoo]

As great as Nick was, I'm glad Mike Shuman is in the band now, what a talent

[StinkiwinkiPoo]

the cd-version is better........

[PaulHefner1]

When he Started Singing.. I was upset, The Original is 100% Better.

[eisdrummer]

i love joeyyyyyy

[dosemeter]

I only clicked on this vid cuz the pic showed Joey Castillo.

[4AJWP]

We love your voice Josh but let Mikey scream this one!

[bigjohnny12345678]

poor dean, i dont think ive seen him do anything useful in these songs lol

[jayyeck]

Lil' John at 1:34

[tamsinn]

JOEY CASTILLO pounds the drums SO NICE! This WHOLE BAND FUCKING ROCKS!!!

[Gloryboy4]

I love stuff like this. Nothing held back. Plenty of Torro. Brilliant live performance.

[gokolink]

So glad i found this session. Saw the last 5 seconds of it on t.v, fan ever since.

[screenscanner]

i absolutely love this with josh's singing. The melody he's singing sounds so fuckin cool. its so typical queens. wish they released this along with the other.

[Alexander50583]

nice!!!

[jfrizzlle]

This is perfect

[loboestepario1251]

esta rola esta con madres!!! ahuevo!!

[TaffyRaphie]

DAT TONE

[nanoux]

1:40 the 9ths on the guitar is AMAZING, im not sure if they are ninths, plx correct me if im wrong

[BJBorchert93]

@nanoux They're 6ths. :) 2 Years of Music Theory/Ear Training.

[BJBorchert93]

@BJBorchert93 Wait, I take that back. They're 10ths.

[remdelacreme]

@BJBorchert93 *their thirds, musicians nearly always use thirds cos they sound awsome.

[BOOMSHINNY]

Im not a drummer but i heavily appreciated those drums.

[pyurmassacur]

Oliveri played bass on two albums out of five. Everyone stop your bitching.

[DocAuch22]

@pyurmassacur 3 actually, but i agree

[pyurmassacur]

@DocAuch22 he didn't play on self titled. 

[dekacster]

@DocAuch22 actually 2. rated r and sons for the deaf. olivieri joined after qotsa's (the album) recording session. so he had been touring at that time.

[dekacster]

@dekacster sry "songs"

[mentalfeed70]

@pyurmassacur those were the best ones and the best kyuss album he also happened to be on i agree they are still good but nick did add a lot

[tchimmerroks]

My, these dudes rocked-it, ...hard.

[tchimmerroks]

Pure, full-on rock, bad ass.

[dip1hell]

AWESOME DRUMS

[dekacster]

i cant choose which version is the best. only i have to say QOTSAAAAAAAAAAAA!

[FakcioR]

Mikey Shoes should should scream the whole song

[Incubated81]

@FakcioR hes sounds even better than nick i think

[mariotelaro]

this is fucking SOLID!!!



[buzztag]

5 people are not millionaires

[poshi12]

lol I heard the original in that one jack and daxter racing game. lol

[rossmorris]

I think Mike is a fucking fantastic bass player, perfect for queens.

[sanjurodog]

@rossmorris I agree!

[buttnhole1]

Hey, Josh is the Queens. Not Nick, not Dave Grohl, Josh.

[myreflection100]

@buttnhole1 TOTALLY AGREE :D

[buttnhole1]

How do people who do people who don't like this or don't even know what it is end up here and then still write a negative comment? It's like sport or something.  I don't go to videos of people I don't listen to or like and then bash them in the comments. Not everything about the Internet is good.

[remyb33]

I just saw these guys guys 7/30/11 at The Gorge in Washington, US and it was one of the sickest shows ive ever seen... For real the are tighter than ever and the lineup is great despite oliveri missing and the such. QOTSA will always be one of my favorite bands. Long Livin It

[juicystunts]

this is great

[gnrboy]

I think Mikey Shoes should sing this one instead of Josh. Dude can fucking scream.

[mxwl17]

This doesn't sound too bad, people are like wtf....

[varajohtajakumpula]

Singer cant... like sounds like "fdsofkspakp" when he sings :D

[QOTSARadio]

Wonder if Joey Castillo (drummer) doesn't have problems with keeping his shirt on while hitting the drums =D

[tubians]

what a noise.

[celestepetitechatte]

Josh should scream more.. i could make him scream ;) ♥

[CreatORder]

Cant get enough..

[alesexy21]

Prefiero esta versión con este lineup que ninguna otra. Olivieri es olivieri y shummann me convencer mucho.

[dRpskktt]

Josh rocks the scene, either you like it or not. Get over it, Nick fans..

[JimDHuggert]

His voice is way too clean for Nicks songs. All the raw energy of Queens of the stone age left with Nick and Lanegan.

[iamspikeyoko]

@JimDHuggert lanegan never left, lanegan never was. he has never been a member of queens of the stone age, just an occaisional contributer/guest. and he still occasionally plays live shows with queens. and i bet a hell of a lot of money that lanegan will singing a couple of songs/backing tracks on the next queens album! :)

[JimDHuggert]

@iamspikeyoko Hope he will.. Queens make good music, but in my opinion Josh should stick to playing guitar and keep his mouth shut! ;)

[iamspikeyoko]

@JimDHuggert really? personally i think josh is an amazing singer and his voice is beautifull, but i agree that he doesnt sing this song very well.... :L go listen to kuyss my friend (if you havent heard them already), joshua homme's second band and his entrance into fame, thats josh sredding the shred stick ;P

[JimDHuggert]

@iamspikeyoko Yeah, i know Kyuss. :) Great music! Bjork, Garcia and Oliveri started playing again with Bruno Fevery (who has played with garcia for a while) on guitar. Too bad Josh wasnt in on the idea so they had the original line-up. Kyuss lives! Check it out!

[iamspikeyoko]

@JimDHuggert yea, i heard. i was gonna get tickets but i decided against it since its wouldnt be the same :/ theres an interview about that, josh saying that it was an amazing thing and it shouls be left how it was because it adds somewhat to the mystique of the band or something like that :P

[u2m2i5n7abunnies]

the bass player looks like a vampire XD

[kunaikai]

@JHo4God idk oliveri's sounded like he was trying to clear his throat

[BazzD1]

this song needs more screaming.

[greenchair1012]

can't stop listening to this song! fucking wicked

[00Zoltan00]

imo: josh's version > nicks version > desert sessions version

[himmargera666]

@00Zoltan00 nick's version>any other version

[sanjurodog]

To anyone out there that doubts Joey Castillo's abilities on the drums...watch this and EAT IT.

(and, give me a break ok, I'm a chick) Michael Shuman is awesome. Watching him play here...I feel like I'm watching him in a private moment..if you catch my drift... O.O

[lmrichetti]

it would actually sound fucking amazing if shoes screamed the whole thing and josh sang the whole thing at the same time.

[lmrichetti]

@lmrichetti yeah thats true oliveri was a beast but i do think mikey is just as good

[AmuseMe543]

This song is perfect typical QotSA, bad ass drop C riff, fucking tight drumming, random pause in the middle... XD

[jebus150]

@AmuseMe543 C standard actually

[steffsweet45]

Shut up about Nick people, Mike is just as good or even better, Nick was awesome but this sounds amazing with Shoes on bass

[rastasurfer]

honestly, I think it is not the same without nick olivieri on bass

[swollenturd]

noice!



[davidfelix1904]

This formation with dave grohl would be magic!

[TheSicDominator]

in all honestly the version is just as good as the nick one. its different but equally as awesome

[matster139]

shoes looks like Vincent from pulp fiction. that movie is badass

[0506thekid]

i am not going to try to compare the two,but this bass player is taking this serious.

[burningxdimx]

Dear God, all you people bitching about Josh's voice, heaven forbid you listen to the original version with Mario Lalli .

[jvsmith77]

@burningxdimx true that!

[ThePolarOObear]

@burningxdimx could'nt agree more! I simply ADORE every single song of quotsa, but its just soooo fucking obvious that THIS in particular is pure AWESOMENESS. with josh's voice its the incarnation of what rock'n'roll was and still stands for! thumps up for that version! it does'nt get any better than this.

[nickbarber48]

@burningxdimx loved the mario lalli version on desert sessions, but i still prefer oliveris voice.. doesn't mean i'm any less of a fan as anybody else though..

[kunaikai]

Mike has cooler basses than Nick, he's just as good if not better at bass, and he doesn't look racist

[burningxdimx]

@kunaikai Good to see you think that a cooler bass makes you a better choice. You know who else played Gibson Rippers? Hitler.

[coyel]

i prefer josh's voice on this... shoot me.

[933Bane]

Intolerance for violence.Big mistake right there.

[bigbigsound]

nick never did fuck all and he's maintained a dignified silenece about it all and josh is shit singing this song.

[bigjohnny12345678]

josh knows he can't do the screamo, so he doesnt try, and the song is still awesome. but i agree, mikey should be given the lead vocals, hes just as good as nick by the sounds of it

[BlueOnionGroup]

i wish they would perform this song more like this i prefer it...

[BeZerker3000]

I would've liked to have seen mikey sing this in it's entirety he seems like he can pull off nicks screams

[BigOlBagOfWhatsNew]

This is great, but I'd like it if Nick was there.

[nclaxer81]

It's ridiculous how many people still have a chip on their shoulders after Oliveri has been gone for years. Yeah, he was a bad ass no doubt, but there's no need to bash josh and the current lineup. I wouldn't make one change to this lineup, not even put Grohl in. Queens sound fucking great right now, better than ever.

[TheMouthsMusic]

@nclaxer81 agreed 100% man

[McArdle21]

wrong

[moflo311]

@nclaxer81 finally some w some common sence. i agree 100% ...oh 79 people agree,lol

[VilhelmNielsen]

@nclaxer81 There's nothing badass about beating up women. No matter what Charlie Sheen tells you.

[dradosevic1]

@VilhelmNielsen haha touche sir. Although I made that comment before Oliveri's latest episode, and I am referring to what he brings to the stage, not the awful decisions he makes in his life.

[PaulDavidScott]

josh can't hold a candle to nick's vocals on this on

[garvito101]

Homme's legendary intolerance for violence? I was at a gig where he kicked some kid in the face

[BigOlBagOfWhatsNew]

Weird, no NIck.

[jammamammaa]

Shoes doesn't do enough meth to scream like Nick.

[rilesjuke]

I would like to punch the one person who disliked. Obviously didn't want some more.

[stanx440]

this is f*cking terrible, only nick should be allowed to scream/sing this song. even the guy on the desert sessions version of this sucks. I saw QOTSA live on halloween of 2005 live, and they sounded like a shitty cover version of themselves

[PaulDavidScott]

@stanx440 ha ha absolutely man. josh vox suck in this

[burningredsun]

Nice try on Mikeys part but.....well you know!!

[burningredsun]

Nice try on Mikeys part but....well ...you know!!

[itslaurae1901]

1:55 - 2:02

[primerspawn]

i hear theres a part 2 of QOTSA in the basement. (Not the 5 QOTSA Basement vids which can already be found here.) Sky Tv in the UK advertises this rumored 'part 2' but you have to live in the UK to get the Skyplayer, to watch Sky. i even tried purchasing Skyplayer, denied. Long/Short- if it exsists... get that shit up here. better yet release a torrent. PLEASE!

[Migas128]

i wanna live in the basement...

[Zavala87]

Mikes face @2.27 is the epitome of ''Nailed It!'' :)

[TheBrokenStairs]

God I feel so bad for Dean. He looks bored out of his mind! If it wasn't for his epic tambourine playing, the entire band would fall apart!! XD

[Migas128]

@Desertfoxie LOL 

[kunaikai]

best version ever

[elefantkaputt]

what bass is shoes playing?

[kunaikai]

@elefantkaputt I think a Gibson Reaper

[louisalive]

@kunaikai ripper

[nathan102485]

This has been mixed with excellence aww yeah

[simentri]

Love Queens and Josh, but I think this song suits screeming more than Josh's singing!

[kpnuts32]

i want 2 touch myself

[Inlistd]

1:58 - 2:02 awesome haha

[MonsterBones1]

Perhaps shoes didn't want to do the vocals for the whole song, either i love both versions.

[kamaslaya]

where the hell is the bassist screaming!!!

[Sharpster7]

@kamaslaya this time watch the video.

[FractureOfReality]

If Shuman can actually sing like that, he should be doing lead vocals on this whole song, because Homme singing this sounds awful

[toppylovingtop]

Fuck yea!!X100

[joesatriani3]

I love Queens Of the stone age ♥

[SuperBanti]

omg i wanna know how to get that guitar sound at the beginning

[aenima138]

@SuperBanti it is basically a fuzz (Ultimate Octave) with a Dunlop Q-Zone for the half-cocked wah sound. You can see him click the Q-Zone off once he starts singing. He's running that into what looks like either a v2 or v4 head with a 2x12 cab.

[cjsw]

hold 7

[SethHesio]

Loving Joey's Misfits T

[Zoitral]

i hear it while im playing bad company 2 ;D

[riolimagic]

someone please tell me what effect josh uses here?

[KyleM43]

@riolimagic the power of grunge

[MaartenIB]

Give the main vocal line to Shoes, Josh! This groove asks for screaming energy!

[FoundationsofPause]

@MaartenIB Someone give this guy the mic.

[soapalot]

I'm not going to lie, I wish I were as handsome as Mikey Shoes.
