Dead Flower Posted November 5, 2007 Share Posted November 5, 2007 (edited) Velvet Revolver are great, but will always live in the shadow of GnR and STP. Muse are good, but a little too nerdish and overblown. Tool curbstomp my ass, but are a bit too metal. There are a lot of great rock bands out there...But Queens Of The Stone Age are the best! Why? Because Josh Homme understands that rock should be sexy, dangerous and have a shitload of swagger and swing. Sure, Josh is a little bit chubby and a ranga, but he's still a sexy motherfucker purely on attitude. He can sing about drugs, fucking and all sorts of other vulgarity, but it never come off as cliche. He's the genuine rock n' roll article. Era Vulgaris is one of the best albums of 2007. Songs for The Deaf is probably my favourite. Old stuff is killer, too - Mexicola, Avon, Living through Chemistry, Lost my Headache, Monsters, etc. Lullabies to Paralyze is probably my least favourite, but I can still name 6-7 shit-hot songs that I love. The revolving door of musicians is the only thing that counts against them. The loss of Nick Oliveri, especially. But Josh still makes it works, and always gets the best out in people he brings in to contribute.So, really, get the fuck into this band. Especially all of you that moan endlessly about the rock scene nowadays.Anyway, here's some vids from their recent Hove Festival gig that partly inspired this thread:Feel Good Hit Of The Summer - Extended jam is killer!Song For The Dead Monsters In The ParasolMisfit Love - best rock song of the year!MexicolaBurn The WitchIn My Head3's and 7'sGo With The FlowLost Art Of Keeping A SecretKickass music Videos:Go With The FlowSick, Sick, SickOther cool live shit: (with Dave Grohl on drums)You Got a Killer Scene There, Man (Henry Rollins show)Make It Wit Chu Edited November 5, 2007 by Dead Flower Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FunkyMonk Posted November 5, 2007 Share Posted November 5, 2007 Hmm never got around to getting Era Vulgaris...one of these days.But anyways I love QOTSA, pretty much everything they do is pure sex; and if it's not, then it just kicks ass.

Gash Posted November 5, 2007 Share Posted November 5, 2007 Ahh man, I saw them on the Songs for the Deaf tour and they were brilliant. Lost a bit of interest since Nick left though. Didn't like the Lullabies to Paralyse album too much. What I've heard of their latest album I quite like though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kevdo242 Posted November 5, 2007 Share Posted November 5, 2007 Songs For The Deaf is a quality album, Lullabies wasn't too great. Era Vulgaris was an improvement, but nothings hit their peak since SFTD.Gotta love their style. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dead Flower Posted December 7, 2007 Author Share Posted December 7, 2007 QOTSA confirmed their status as the coolest rock band in the world by recently playing 2300 feet underground in a German salt mine. They've put up a on youtube, and will soon release the entire gig. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dead Flower Posted March 29, 2008 Author Share Posted March 29, 2008 Been checking out some Kyuss stuff. Some of it is pretty cool. Not a huge fan of the vocals, though.Green Machine - Check out Josh's floppy hair! He was trying to hide his inner ranga, too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Believe it or not, I've learned playing the Crazy Frog theme on repeat doesn't really work too well in the bedroom. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zeppelin Posted March 29, 2008 Share Posted March 29, 2008 Kyuss is awesome. Green Machine is probably the most accessible song off of Blues for the Red Sun. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Moop Posted April 20, 2008 Share Posted April 20, 2008 It's taken me a while but I'm finally starting to get into Era Vulgaris. Turnin' on the Screw has taken over Someone's in the Wolf as my fav QotSA song of all time. It's definitely the most rewarding album to listen to after trying to get into it for so long. Sick Sick Sick used to be the only song I liked on that album but now I see that it's probably the weakest song on the album. Can't get enough of this band.
