How to handle a Rope (live virus98)- Queens of the Stone Age

[jodysoldman]

I'm pretty sure the Sound Man took the night off

[charlessale]

@jodysoldman Really? I think it sounds pretty good for what is probably an old VHS rip from a live show. Sure there's some pretty fun feedback going on there but...

[ReBeLhIpI]

damn i love german tv!

just imagine we would like to do a 30-45 minute show about that new queens band where we would show their videos. they dont have a video... lets shoot one couple gigs and show that then!

[StarzXFP]

I miss the original QOTSA. This was when they had the best music!

[doomyman]

Is Oliveri wearing a Sabbath t-shirt??? This is a fucking great post

[derdudeisda]

Fucking Perfect Line Up !!!

It was so down to earth but would totally bash you away...

[TheJesperAble]

Who is the drummer?

[3OH3Fulham]

@TheJesperAble Alfredo Hernández

[TheJesperAble]

@3OH3Fulham OK, tnx

[timbo177]

Fuck yeah, Fredo!

[CobaltNight]

Well done German TV for filming all this great QOTSA and Kyuss stuff.

[gruliw]

fuckin' badass. this is greatness herself. the main riff is so cool and yeah you can't beat that first album.

[fenix478]

josh's t-shirt: "ABC Sports"

hahahahahaha

[hosenhochable]

jaja der hamburger dom

[markkalady]

the better qotsa

[Seekanddestroyable]

y´see Alfredo hernandez on the Drums??What he´s doing now???

[yovioleatuzorramadre]

@Seekanddestroyable lol, what he is NOT doing now?, just Check Yawning Man 3 albums, they are better than qotsa, and they have Alfredo on drums

[ietsmeteenr]

this is almost more kyuss then its qotsa

[yovioleatuzorramadre]

@ietsmeteenr totally wrong, this do not sounds like Kyuss, at all.

[ietsmeteenr]

@yovioleatuzorramadre I know it;s qotsa. what i meant was the line up is like kyuss. this gig was with 3 members of the last lineup from kyuss. And with 1 member of the line up from qotsa today.

[yovioleatuzorramadre]

@ietsmeteenr nick was not in the last kyuss lineup

[ietsmeteenr]

@yovioleatuzorramadre yeah thats true, but my point is that kyuss/qotsa always changed members and the only reason for the namechange was changing of the singer. but whatever man... i nevergonna comment again, i m gonna listen some music

[intoth3hollow]

damn i love this song....! thanx for posting!

[jmaer91]

I hope the next QotSA brings back a style/sound this raw....

[BoothJudas]

I would really like to know what gear he is using in his stack...seems like early queens josh was using more rack equipment, at least thats what it looks like. Also looks like he may have pedals up on his amps

[iamLizardJohnny]

@BoothJudas 2 tube works heads, what is most likely an ampeg 8x10, an ampeg V-4 and i think 2 Marshall 4x12's. wouldnt be able to tell you his pedal set up though. :)

[burningredsun]

Now this F**kin Rocks!

[JibadeauxFox]

Dude, Josh Homme looks uber badass right here.

[intoth3hollow]

ahhhh the good old days.....

[ecoDN]

Never seen some one use a phones mix live, or maybe it's ear protection? Fuckn kick ass though!

[nunosoar]

@ecoDN WTF ?!

[ecoDN]

@nunosoar hahaha I just read my comment again, yea that's fucking stupid kinda embarrassing

[ckolonko]

I have to say this is when QOTSA were at their rawest and their best.

[bonsaiisuperstar]

Sounds dead on like the album version. I'm guessing this is the equipment used when recording it, hence the same tone.

[hndrx414]

I wish more people liked this stuff, its so great

[getmealightbeard]

FREDO!

[dilmog]

I really wish that he would have been with them for their other albums.

[lukenessgraceandella]

fucking aye!  First album/line up was the mutts nuts

[jswklj]

current line up is better.

[qotsayeah]

Nah

[setzerlock]

QOTSA in any incarnation are the mutts' nut!!!

[pattonPwr]

@lukenessgraceandella my favourite qotsa album, the first one.

[MrMikehunt87]

@lukenessgraceandella

agreed, seen them play it full last year. one of the best moments of my life being mere metres away from josh homme

[Neccy60]

AWESOME SHIT

[jasemac88]

I've always wished the end of this song was longer... with the solo and all that good stuff

[firedrum71]

@jasemac88 I know it doesn't feel right, it's like an ejaculation cut short at the best moment :/
