Joey Castillo pounding the drums like if they owe him money... What a neanerthal.... in a good way!
And not speeding up the song either lol ex punk roots leave there scars. His is speed i think Love ya JoeyC
Ogga booga
wish the drums were a little less dry though (being a drummer)
Neanderthal
Like CONAN, D BARBARIAN
OH GOSH, IM SO FAST WITH COCAIN IN MY BRAIN NOW! IM GONNA EXPLOSE
Jesus, the bassline is absolutely evil. I love it.
Dude.
Can literally give me a boner
Mikey Shoes is the best!
Drummer is like a caveman. Hunched over and lovingly punishing the kit.
Love it.
This was the exact first thought that came to my mind. CAVEMAN DRUMMER. He crushed it though. Go ahead caveman!
i thought is was Peter Dinklage on stilts
That’s Joey Castillo. Sadly they replaced him with Jon Theodore. I miss the Joey Days, he beats the shit outta them skins.
@@samm9397 I prefer SO much Theodore in Mars Volta...in QOTSA Castillo or Grohl.
He looks like Brian Thompson from cobra. You’re going to hell with me pig!
"Here comes the guitar solo" - "hey, show the drummer for the next 45 seconds". Awesome played by Joey.
Exactly what I was thinking! Some of the camera editing didn't make sense
Chris VanWhy while I agree with you, the sound quality is the main point of these live videos.
@@h4r4 It does sound great
He is killing on the drums tho.
@@joshholbert9120 Hell yeah, he is killing it. My favorite Queens drummer
Michael Schuman doesn't get enough credits for his bass playing. What a sound he has. And Joey Castillo man that guy is a beast. In this performance it's like they're all getting their energy from him.
Plus he’s got rock star attitude! Gives QOTSA a different kind of appeal. Fits in with Troy nicely as they are both fashionistas
What?! Listen to Nick Oliveri play this song. Whoever this guy is has no feel no enthusiasm and no power.
Choď do piče.
He’s tone is for shit here. Too muddy.
I’d love to know how to get that shuman bass tone ❤
Josh homme has such a great voice
So underrated
Fucking sent by heaven !
Damn this sounds just like the release version. It’s rare for a band to sound this well live. Outstanding
It’s funny what can happen when you aren’t playing the song way too fast like they normally do.
Ye QOTSA are crazy good at playing songs perfectly live
Most bands sound better live lol
fuckkkkk me up dude, I'm so happy they've been uploading all these basement sessions. Truly one of the greatest places for a band to play, the mixing is always so tight.
Maida Vale Studios, London. Great studio.
Ain’t that the truth! RHCP puts on an amazing 45 mins. These bands are so tight it’s unbelievable.
@@angeloc700 Radiohead’s sets from here sound amazing as well
@@angeloc700 I didn't even know the Chili Peppers did a From The Basement. Thanks.
when kyuss was still in his veins
fuck yeah
@Akilleus My problem with it is that there is no Dave. Imagine it had Dave.
Damn right
@@DerAykac Alfredo Hernandez made the last Kyuss- and the first QOTSA-album. Outstanding drummer with more pocket and steadiness than Dave and Joey.
Hell yeah! miss old queen's
That twisted sinkhole of grubby distortion: no one does it like Joshua Homme
Joey was such a beast. Fit the band perfectly, such raw strength. The 2000's were without a doubt the best decade for QOTSA. New phase post LC is good, but these were the days the band will be remembered for, and Joey fit like a glove.
I couldn't really get into Like Clockwork when it came out, although I was only 14 or 15 when it did. That album has grown on me so much as I got older. The songwriting and lyrics are top notch throughout that whole album and I think it's just as important as any of their other albums, in ten years I think we'll look back at it the same way you look at their earlier projects even though it has a different style. Hard to appreciate stuff when it's in the present. I wasn't a big fan of Villains though, hopefully that grows on me too at some point lol.
Indeed. I'd say you can even break it up into three chunks within that decade. Each with a distinct style.
Chunk one: Nick's still there, Lanigen, Joey & Troy join the band
Chunk two: Alain Johannes and Natash join for live tour, and Nick leaves the band (his absence is clear on Lullabies)
Chunk three: Era Vulgaris where Dean and Mikey join indefinitely
All great, but their style of music at the start of the 2000s was my jam
They're still in their prime. Latest stuff is as good as the early stuff. They're flowin. No ebb.
@@connor2294 LC and Villains is grown people music. Esp if you went through something similar to Josh. Younger folks will probably always join in late on those two. And maybe here on out. JH has a full white beard now and looks like a conquistador.
Hell yeah bro..
Josh Homme is like the only guitarist to go solo who's voice is just as good as the lead singer of his last band
imo, he's a better vocalist. I liked his Kyuss guitar better though
Better.
@@chronicalcultivation QOTSA songs go like this: The heavier the song, the better. Every time the guitar is real heavy, the song is a banger.
My opinion is that John Garcia is one of the best vocalists, period. I wouldn't even put Josh on that list, but to each their own.
@@chronicalcultivation kinda reverse for me, I like kyuss vocals more and qotsa guitar
Just a great rock song.
Probably their most underrated song.
Absolutely love this fucking song
my favorite!
I couldn't agree more...this song bleeds fucking R&R...QoTSA...fuckin eh!! 🤘🤘👍👍
me too!!!
Definitely one of their most underrated songs
This lineup was so tight. Josh voice was on his peak, the band still had the deep sound from the first records and the refresh from the Era Vulgaris era and the presence
of Mike and Dean.
Completely agree, this was my favorite lineup. While the Alain/Shneider lineup and the Grohl/Oliveri/Lanegan lineup are also high moments in the bands career.
Absolutely, Josh's vocals here are perfect
He has one of the best rock voices I've ever heard.
Maybe you should hear more.
@@jayc1676 nah Josh is good enough for me
This is probably the best I've ever heard Joey, not taking anything away from Jon Theodore though, he kicks ass always.
I love how both Joey and Jon took this song and personalized it. Jon's nuanced groove and feel on the ride during the solo/outro and Joey's smash and bang approach.
I will say I like that Jon re-introduced the hi hat splash during the main riff of the song. I feel like it's so hard to compare the two at this point where I'm just now "they both are great for the band and we need learn that you can appreciate separately without stepping on the toes of the other"
Alfredo Fucking Hernandez FTW
@@taintmueslix Fredo and Gene don't get nearly the love they deserve
ok is it Jon Théodore from the ex first Mars volta ?! this guy is incredible
@@jpsusini the current drummer of QotSA is Jon Theodore of the Mars Volta, yeah. But the drummer in these videos is Joey Castillo, since this is from 2009. Jon joined the band in 2013
I hope those drums were over 18
Man it gets funnier the 300th time doesn't it?
@@kekag no
boy, you haven't seen Dave Grohl recording "my god is the sun"!
@@Ali_gosun where can I see that?
Best live band I’ve ever seen. Their energy was off the scale
💯‼️ You can see the Flow!!! MAGIC!!
Jesus christ, I just can't get enough of this song. 'From the basement' gave me a whole new respect for the band, this is fucking raw. One of my favorite things about it is there is zero posing. Just friends jamming and in the zone, making amazing music together. Nothing could be more perfect .
It just transports you doesn't it! EVERY TIME!
Ever since I saw Josh talking about using upstrokes for emphasis, because you're yanking on the strings, it's all I can see. Never noticed it before!
also shoutout to Joey's mom for the directing, video's awesome
Lmaooooo
Drummer looks like a character from the Gorillaz
I laughed out loud lmao
This whole album is nuts. So powerful.
Man I miss Joey Castillo in queens.. his presence added an element of mysteriousness that hasn’t been matched since
Yup...Josh,Troy, Joey and Nick....my favorite line up
@@larryb7585 I also miss Alan and Natasha.
Josh Homme is so secretive about his gear / playing style, I fucking love it.. you know he specifically made sure the producer panned to the drummer camera during the guitar solo. He's always doing shit like this, I love it. One of the last real ones preserving the kayfabe of rock and roll.
Wrestling fan 👆
Celebrating this kind of stupid mentality is fucking pathetic. No one cares what kind of gear and shit he does. It's not like this is groundbreaking guitar tones or anything.
One of the most badass guitar riffs ever, hands down.
Honestly one of my favorite drumming performances ever.
That crack of the intro and the balance of the cymbals constantly played is my kink
What a band !!! They have mastered the art of heavy smoothness like no other ..Long live the Queens of the Stone Age 💪
haha heavy smoothness, good way to put it
Heavy smoothness. Right on!
So apt
Great definition boy. Something really raw and smooth at the same time. Comes from Josh's nature I think.
That bass tone is bone crushing! Love this track.
Very glad they gave Joey so much airtime on this one, he's tearing it up!
Not only did he carry three star wars movies on his back, Adam Driver is also the sickest bass player there is.
Their first album is a masterpiece, one of the best ever created , this is an amazing version too bad they didn’t stay this heavy
Well said .. i agree 100%.
A-fuckin-men.....
concordo 100%, amo demais esse albun.
Love the early stuff. Still so happy they evolved and blessed us with masterpieces like LC.
This heavy stuff makes me very very happy. It makes me feel like I'm trippin when I have it basting in my headphones as I walk thru town.
Never thought id see source quality from this... Thank you!! If you would be so kind asto upload the rest of the set aswell, that would be terrific.
Misfit love 🔥
@Ron Paul rEVOLution In my head they did
Oh man... how I miss Joey on drums. He was the perfect match for Queens.
I feel the same way. The new Queens drummer is technically the prog-jazz world champion of everything, but Joey's grooves are special.
I miss him too! 😢
I would kill for this Queens again....
This song just took the "Villains" songs' lunch money.
This is so true.
Thinking Feet Don't Fail Me, Head Like a Haunted House, and Evil Has Landed can hang with this one.
@@Hygelac1000 I enjoy all Queens albums, but this is my least favourite. Not to say it was awful, just that I didn't like the sound. Too tinny and restrained for such a massive-sounding band.
@@DKHD176 I thought the sound of Villains matched the theme and what he was trying to say. The last two have been introspective, so who knows what the next project will bring. They're still operating on a high level.
@@DKHD176 Used to Do kind of sucks. I'll admit that.
Joey wit the extra oomph
Seeing this makes me miss Joey even more... Don't get me wrong Jon is a bad ass drummer and more technical like Neil Peart. Joey was just hard hitting thunder, like Bonham.
I miss Joey as well and agree wholeheartedly with your statement. Joey was perfect right after Grohl, both play very much like Bonham
I was fortunate enough to see them play a club with Grohl, now THAT was like seeing them play with Bonham!
@@mikea3273 you ain't lying, I had the blessed privilege of seeing Them Crooked Vultures live in a relatively small venue and the energy and bombastic nature of Dave Grohls drumming left me reeling.
I dont care what anyone says the chemistry with John is just off, IMHO Joey was the perfect Queens drummer.
How old is this?
Or is Joey back!?
Mike and Joey as their Rhythm section was top notch. Love this era of QOTSA. 🤘🏼
Smoking out of a dirty bong, because I don't wanna change it and miss a second of this.
Hey J, how's the rest of Dinosaur Jr.? I'm sure Lou is great?
this comment 🤣 looked at my smoke as the ash dropped 😑the first time listening, now apart from this being so 'earworthy' I can play it again whilst dealing with this fallen ash .
J! I am glad you like them.....your majesty!!
Boy, does CZcams have a neat feature for you.
My question is are you so high you don't realize you can pause (not to mention rewind) CZcams videos or are you just dumb?
Only QOTSA could embrace such a menacing bass sound. 30 yrs ago. Only reserved for the punk crowd. Cheers Mr Homme.
they started in '96
The more I hear from these guys the more I like them. I don't think they have one shitty song.
No. They don’t 😅
Biting my tongue
That fucking bass.
Love the laid back heaviness of the entire riff when Joey shifts the beat to the ride cymbal.
How good is this song hey ?????….. it just reaches up and grabs you by the balls with its power and energy. In my all time favourites without doubt .
I love how the bass sounds so dry but at the same time so resonant, kinda like the lower keys on an old detuned piano
Yeah that Gibson (Grabber or Ripper?) rocks
The best version of their best song with the best lineup...doesn't get any better than this.
I wish they would go back to this sound.
I can't believe Josh sounds exactly like he did 20 years ago, this song is such a testament to this band, unreal.
Homme is still just the living embodiment of the word "cool".
Sounds like someone has a crush.
Arrogant wanker more like it
why not both
@@dazzwoof4943 that's fine talented rock stars can afford to be that's why people like them talented degenerate arrogant self absorbed musicians dont change a thing
Mikey brought so much to the band that was overlooked at the time simply because he wasn't Oliveri. He can play the same riffs, but instead of that punch-you-in-the-teeth bass sound, Mikey just groooooves.
Always loved the heavy sound and all of the effects on their 1st album. Awesome stuff.
Saw these dudes many times, but one especially memorable time was in Seattle at the start of the Lullabies to Paralyze tour .
Alain Johannes and Natasha Schneider were in the band for this tour . They sounded so fuckin good. I had seen them previously with Nick, and Joey on his first gigs with them, but this was especially memorable for me( 16 then, now 32 ) because some rando gave me and my Gf backstage passes . We went backstage and hung out and talked to the whole band, and everyone was fucking so cool, Josh didn’t really want to talk, but he’s always kinda like that . Troy was an especially cool dude. When they played Mexicola, it was just Troy on bass, and Josh I’m guitar . They sounded so big as just a trio too . Seen them about 5 times total, and met them a few more times, but this particular concert was 🔥🔥🔥.
The first album still holds up
Holds up?...it's better than every other album bar maybe Songs for the deaf.
The overall tone in this space is fucking brutal. Great song great mix!
Is it wrong that I keep going back to listen to that bass opening...?
Whoever mixed that is a genius!
Probably Nigel Godrich
Josh is killing it with the vocals. Nice!
Saw Queens March 3 2024 on their last gig of their Pacific tour. They hadn’t played Mexicola all tour….except for this gig where the crowd called for it. Sounded phenomenal, words cannot describe. They were so incredibly tight.
Why was the camera stuck on Joey for the whole duration of Josh's solo? 😠 😂
This is joeys performance
On the level of great rock bands, these guys are what ROCK use to be.
and their jams are so pure and almost primal.
One of,( in my opinion) the best Rock bands EVER!
THE best rock band of all time in my opinion.
Man, Joey Castillo is incredible.
Awesome mix. Thank you From The Basement for all the good stuff
Thank you, Thank you, thaaaank you!!! 😍 I Just hope they upload the full set of My Morning Jacket. That set is sacred!
This and the Henry Rollins version of Misfit Love are probably my 2 fave videos on youtube, so so great
i see you are a man of taste good sir
Plus I think I lost my headache
Also the tunes on Letterman. Good quality.
Yes Henry Rollins Misfit Love was amazing
this is so beautiful oml
This is a fabulous performance joey Castillo you are a beast!
Joey's ghostnotes are louder than most drummers' regular notes lol
You know.... when people talk about some of the greatest guitar duos in Rock, you never hear anyone mention Josh and Troy. Those guys are straight fuckin' FIRE together. 🔥😎🔥
troy is the best right hand man
That drummer from another planet,love this group so underrated
Damn this is one of the best live performances I've ever seen, better than when I actually saw them perform this song in person lol... so glad to see FTB posting all this great stuff!
Great seein' Joey again. Every single drummer Josh uses (including himself) is amaze-balls
They all have such incredible tone and it melds together in such a tight fashion. Insurmountable, I might say.
Yes! 1080p version! Fantastic stuff, nice to see all these songs from this session in good quality
You can really feel them play perfectly together here. So good.
I listen to this video weekly. Thank you, Queens, and FtB crew. God's work here.
Thanks for this upload! Awesome!
This hits the spot.
This is gold.
So weird seeing Joey play close to the original BPM. Seems like a nice guy, but those shows from his era were brutal for sped up BPM.
Indeed. A song for the dead played by Joey is just incredible.
Joey has a punk scene behind.
it's natural
I always dug it. Gave it such a driving feel that I think is lost with John. Not that John is bad. Just a different feel like every other drummer!
Joey my fave Queens drummer
@@qbox2222 his work whith Zack Sabbath its amazing too!
One of their best songs. Self titled goes so hard
ahhh this Band i have listened to for years now all different tones and sounds themes and feels to fit add to the personal theme track of my life so far im still finding enjoyment from old and the new age' .....then you hear the acoustic sessions ......wow.
This, Avon and The Bronze are some of the best songs going. The album is fucking amazing.
exactly!
Preach 🙌
Watching this made my night. Thank you, QotSA, trully. You all are my favourite band of all time. Being there at the good and bad times. Tonight isnt that good, but i know tomorrow will be, and your company will be there too. Cheers!
i love how clear everything is here, awesome!
What a performance. And the mix is perfect.
Spectacular performance
Rock 'N" Roll in all its state, strenght and spirit - Sem Massagem.
So so good, those smooth grooves.
Been looking for this video for a while now, glad to see it up again. That base intro is the best!
Amazing! One of my favourite songs
This song is better than all the albums put together from era vulgaris and after. That goes also for each track off the first album. Thank you Josh, Nick and Alfredo. We know who you are...
please guys upload the entire session, they sound so good in this!!
Nice to see the drummer getting so much love from the camera!
The bass intro is siiiccckkkk
Still remember the first time I heard this song. Instant favorite.
I love this song so much, thanks for uploading this gem in such weird times
Still one of the most epic songs ever made!!!!! That bass tone ❤❤❤❤
They sounded super tight this set. Which is surprising considering Joey had the tendency to speed mid-tempo songs up a bit too much.
You can only keep a wild animal caged for so long...
@@benjaminvandyke caged? Behind the kit he is in his natural habitat
Not a bad thing at all sometimes
This video and song are inspiring thousands of people to learn how to play drums.
That's just superb !
Good Good that was awesome! I needed that.
