Queens of the Stone Age GO WITH THE FLOW ~ Reaction and Dissection The Decomposer Lounge
Highly recommend just sitting down and listening to this entire album top to bottom. In my opinion Songs for the Deaf is the greatest rock album ever made
Love your profile pic! I can't believe somebody else loved Motorstorm like I did!
This album was designed to be listened to as one big chunk, like a road trip thru Arizona scrolling thru radio stations. I personally like to consider it one piece...
For me, this album has to be heard from start to finish. It's like a long song.
FORSOOTH!
@@ryurc3033 Pretty close, actually. The concept as said by Josh and Nick was a ride from the inner city of L.A. to the dunes in Joshua Tree.
One of the greatest lyrics of all time is in this song: âI want something good to die for, to make it beautiful to liveâ.
Kinda reminds me of a line from a song by one of my fav bands, called Primordial, that says "give me one thing to live, or die for"
He's always had great lyrics. He's even got one he'll of a sense of humour in his mhsic
Yes, this is one of the stand-out lyrics that has a special place in my brain
The drumming on this entire album is phenomenal.
I've stolen so many licks off Dave over the years đ€Ł
@@Cuzjudd He's pretty much my second hero, next to John Bonham.
@@Ash_Hudson good call
Dah Grohlster
Is this where they recorded the cymbals on their own track separate from the rest of the kit?
Any day is a good day for QOTSA. The self-titled album really deserves more love. âAvonâ, âRegular Johnâ, âMexicolaâ, âIf Onlyâ, âWalkin on the Sidewalksâ, and âYou Canât Quit Me Babyâ are all soooo good. Definitely fits the stoner vibe.
Such a GREAT album!!!
The self titled is likely my favourite of theirs followed by Rated R I think.
+1 for Self Titled. How to handle a rope!
@Reactor Core Hee hee đ
Mexicola is a Godzilla Monster of a song.
Queens of the Stone Age and Kyuss are played weekly through my headphones. Love these guy so much. Josh Homme is the man!
Edit: Josh Homme was in both bands
For more QOTSA, Mexicola is my favorite. Regular John, song for the dead, if I had a tail, I sat by the ocean, lost art of keeping a secret, there's so many. This band is similar to tool in the fact that you can just hit play and let it ride through their whole selection.
Yes, yes, yes
I think for QOTSA, Mexicola would be a great one. And I'd love to hear Geebz try Hispanic Impressions, given it's an instrumental with weird timings and for the sake of something different.
This guy gets it! Also, donât forget the often overlooked: You canât quit me baby
Huge QotSA fan too and happy to see your profile pic. đđ€đ
@@alecalfaras5936 yup, totally spaced on that one, damn good song!
Re: QOTSA - you should really try to check out âI Appear Missingâ (full version), itâs wonderful.
Re: stoner week. Welp, itâs gotta be the band called Down. So many great tracks: Bury me in smoke, lifer, the path, thereâs something on my side etc.
Good luck!
"The band called Down". Not to mention freaking Phil Anselmo is the lead singer hahahaha
I appear missing one of their best songs
The best song they've ever written
He should do a live version of i appear missing with the extended solo/outro , one of the best songs ever.
I agree. This is such a good song.
QOTSA's stoner anthem has got to be "Feel Good Hit of the Summer"
My fav is regular John
Yes
@@XtremeKillah101 either track would have been way more intersting for Geebz to react to.
Drug anthem
they performed that at rehab clinic once
Song For The Dead on this album is phenomenal. Mark Lanagen on the vocals, a drum work that is top-notch. Please, please check it out
Yes, yes, yes! Awesome song. I love Mark Lanegan.
Same with God Is In The Radio!
I love him on Hangin Tree on this album as well. Incredible.
Also the live early version of Song For The Deaf with Lanegan splitting vocals with Homme is absolutely phenomenal
Mark is THE MAN!!
Sounds like they're playing in a small livingroom packed with a huge couch, stacked with pillows and a thick fluffy rug. So tight and cozy.
Corrosion of Conformity- Albatross, southern stoner metal
Red Fang - Prehistoric Dog
This album (Songs for the Deaf) in its entirety is their best work IMO.
Stoned Jesus - I'm the Mountain. Beautiful piece.
Quite possibly the best band lineup ever on this record. Josh Homme, Nick Oliveri, Dave Grohl and Mark Lanegan. Thatâs nothing short of insane! đ€Ż
Iâd recommend something from Down if you want some heavier stoner rock/metal đ
Went deaf for a month after hearing them live. One of the best performances I ever saw. They are all over the place, from polka to bluesâŠ.
"In the Fade" would have been my pick for QOTSA, but at the same time, something more complex from the band would be a good idea. The more expansive, challenging songs seem to be a bit more fitting to our educational Decomposer.
In The Fade is phenomenal
Amazing song, or even better for decomposing would be Better Living Through Chemistry :)
Queens of the Stone Age: "I Appear Missing", "I'm Designer", or "Sky is Falling".
Them Crooked Vultures: "Bandoliers" their best song.
Certainly one of the best albums of the 2000âs
I feel like it needs to be acknowledged that the great Dave Grohl did the drumming on the whole album. They really let him go wild on the track "Song for the Dead". One of my favorites pieces of modern rock drumming
That being said he was not drumming on this track, that was Gene Trautmann
Fun dissection. This is a great straight-forward QOTSA tune, but probably a track that a lot of fans wouldn't have picked. It's catchy, but doesn't show their depth.
Would love to see you react and dissect God is in the Radio from the same Songs for the Deaf album. It's a bit of a deep cut (underrated or maybe just underplayed imo) but the slow groove and sludgy guitar tone is so infectious, making it pretty much a quintessential stoner rock song, and Josh Homme rips an absolute banger solo. The other one would be In the Fade from their Rated R album. Fantastic groove, the drums and bass are firmly locked in the pocket and the ending is just đđ€
The drums and cymbals were actually recorded separately for this album, to add an extra clear punch.
I think they did that for every record up to Lullabies
Too bad they ruined any punch they have by compressing the crap out of it.
Good lord did he nail their vibe right off the bat lol. This guy has a sixth sense for inferring context.
You gotta dissect Song for the Dead, Better Living Through Chemistry, I Appear Missing, Someone's in the Wolf...the list goes on and on lol
âLittle sisterâ is a great tune from these guys. đ„đ„
One of the best bands I have ever seen live. All their albums are unique, a very talented group
The Lost Art of Keeping a Secret was the QOTSA song that made me a huge fan.
Other Queens of the stone age songs you should listen to: In the fade, Millionaire, Mosquito song. In my head, Lost art of keeping a secret.
For your 30-day Anniversary playlist, I highly (no pun intended) suggest adding QOTSA's "Better Living Through Chemistry"
Here's hoping there's some Clutch in the mix for this week. If not, may I suggest "Burning Beard" from 2005's Robot Hive/Exodus?
As a longtime fan, it's hard to pick a favorite among their deep catalog of gems, but this one would serve as a worthy follow-up to the tune you spun a few weeks back...
The whole of Robot Hive/Exodus (and Blast Tyrant) is on another level.
Droid and the house that Peter built
If I recall correctly they tracked the drums and symbols separately and Dave grohl had to perform the tracks twice.
They replaced the drums/symbols with rubber pads to deaden them because he still needed to play the full kit to perform the songs.
I love QOTSA. So glad you're dissecting them. I would recommend "Avon" or "Regular John" off of their first/self-titled album. For more off of Songs for the Deaf, I'd say "First it Giveth" and "The Sky is Falling." Or you can do their song that is kind of a joke song on their album, which is so good, I'm surprised it's a joke? (You think I Ain't Worth A Dollar, But I Feel Like a Millionaire). Also, "I'm Designer" off of Era Vulgaris, which is going in a more relaxed direction.
First it Giveth and Millionaire are the best for dissections from the songs you mention imo! But theyâre all great.
Yeaaah...I just really like Avon and Regular John. Especially Avon! I think it's worth hearing although it's not so complex.
@@joan_sneezes Avon is the tits!
Sky is falling is my fav of theirs
"You Think I Ain't Worth a Dollar But I Feel Like a Millionaire", "3s & 7s", "If Only", "Mexicola", "I'm Gonna Leave You", "Interlude With Luudes", "I Was a Teenage Hand Model", "Mosquito Song", "I Appear Missing", "Auto Pilot".
Qotsa really were the pinnacle of bands during the time of this recording
Mmmmmm, I think you really should listen to "You cant quit me baby" by Queens of the Stone Age. It's from their first album so its more stoner-like.
There are so many great Queens of the Stone Age tracks. Amongst my personal favourites would be:
- I Appear Missing;
- Tangled Up in Plaid;
- Little Sister;
- If I Had a Tail;
- Hanging Tree;
- Smooth Sailing;
- Monsters in the Parasol;
- Turnin on the Screw; and
- Auto Pilot.
Should do "Song for the deaf." By Qotsa. "I Sat by the Ocean", would also be cool.
Two great suggestions!
This was the first QOTSA song I ever heard and it still moves me... This album though you would dig, is a concept album about driving from L.A. to Joshua Tree and flipping through the radio as you go so there's all these cool interludes with fake radio broadcasts by the band and some are pretty freaking funny. The whole album is an absolute masterpiece, pick any song and you won't be disappointed. ...btw that's Dave Grohl of Nirvana and Foo Fighters killing it on the drums.
Other great song suggestions, Turning On The Screw, I'm Designer, 3s and 7s, Lost Art Of Keeping A Secret, Quick And To The Pointless, Little Sister, Burn The Witch....ahh just do em all man, they've got too many bangers to type in one comment lol
I always thought the songs were purposely arranged as kind of a way for them to say, that these are how the songs should sound like on each of those radio stations.
K-L-O-NâŠthe songs that sound like everyone else, more than anyone else.
Love this album. Great concept. Only downside is I canât listen to just one track. This is a start to finish listen every time.
@@richardmckinsey6555 "not saying goodnight...just saying"
This is definitely a full album experience up there with ANY other concept album.
3s and 7s is great
You canât quit me baby - queens of the Stone Age. First album- best song IMO. Youâll love it
QOTSA are phenomenal!
I got into them well after nearly all the other grunge era bands, but _Songs For The Deaf_ is one of my favorite albums in the last year or so. Listened to it 3 times over the first time I heard it!
Thanks for the vid, Geebz. Love ya, man!
P.S. - _Suture up Your Future_ and _Make it wit chu_ from Era Vulgaris by them are fantastic as well! Listened to 3's & 7's from guitar hero way back when and that album is a killer one, too.
Also, b4 everyone else says it, too, this album is best listened to all the way through all at once. It is a sort of themed album about a drive through California, that's why you have "radio interference" occasionally throughout the beginning and end of songs.
Queens
- I appear missing
- song for the dead
- Mexicola
- in the fade
Awesome. Definitely recommend âI appear missingâ and âfair weather friendsâ.
Also check out Them Crooked Vultures which is Josh Homme, David Grohl, and John Paul Jones
It's a pretty safe bet that if you like Rock, you will like this band. Solid
"Cause we were all kinda baked back in those days." We still are dude.... We still are. hahaha
Yes there is a keyboard player. David Grohl from Nirvana and singer and guitar of Foo fighters plays drums on this album
QOTSA is one of my absolute favs; they, and Josh Homme especially, never disappoint.
sadly, josh does dissapoint, not musically, but as a person, it recently came out tha he isnt a very nice person to his kids.....
@@drearynonsense203 While I can't remark on the validity of that, knowing nothing about it myself, I will say that it's important to be able to separate the art from the artist. Musicians, actors, painters, and the like are people like the rest of us. Some of them have some unsavory aspects to their character(i.e. Jimmy Page, Bassnectar or Jackie Chan). You can still love and appreciate the work without supporting the actions of the one who makes it.
@@semaj_5022 oh yeah 100%, josh hommes music is amazing I donât doubt it, but I donât doubt what has come out about him is true knowing things he has done in the past
@@semaj_5022
also did the link to the article send?
@@drearynonsense203 Nope, I didn't see any article. I'll go ahead and look it up though, since I have the time.
my favorite rock band of all time
Oh man, so good to see QOTSA on this channel! Next songs I'd recommend taking a look would bem No One Knows (the band's biggest hit), Little Sister, The Lost Art Of Keeping a Secret or something not so "single-ish" from them, like Better Living Through Chemistry or some other jam from them! Hugs from Brazil
Other Queens tracks Iâd love to hear you dissect:
- Turninâ on the Screw
- Iâm Designer
- Misfit Love
- Smooth Sailing
- If I Had a Tail
- Song for the Deaf
You could pick any Queens songs really but a few favourites off the top of my head would be:
Avon
Mexicola
Lost art of keeping a secret
Better living through chemistry
In the fade
Do it again
Medication
Someone's in the wolf...I could go on but that's probably plenty :)
Everybody Knows That Youâre Insane, Tangled Up In Plaid
My favourite stoner rock song is "I am the mountain" by Stoned Jesus lol
Head Like a Haunted House and/or I Appear Missing reactions would be awesome! Thanks for your interesting insights!
I even smoke that tied stick, you know?
- Tied stick?
- Yeah, you know. That stuff, it's tied to a stick, you know.
- Oh, Thai stick.
By far my favorite band of the last couple years. Crazy they arenât way more popular.
The way the stereo image opens up in the chorus still gets me every time. And yes, Thai stick makes an excellent accompaniment ;)
More QOTSA - Mexicola, Hanging Tree, Sky is Falling, Better Living Through Chemistry
6:04 the full album is full of 'transitions' but at the same time if /when you make a personal full listen of this album you will notice what is happening in there why this sound why having to listen the transitions as well. QOTSA has a metamorfic line up but the sound is 'consisten' on his original creation.
Anything of their debut album, please!!! And I can't wait for Kyuss! I got my weed ready for your videos. đ Stoner Rock week!!!
If you are doing stoner rock/desert rock, you have to do some Masters of Reality. King Richard TLH, Moriah, She Got Me When She Got Her Dress On, John Brown, Deep in the Hole....Chris Goss is the godfather. Thai Stick! LOL! Old school.
Geebz would definitely appreciate Masters of Reality's album Sunrise On The Sufferbus. They have a lot of good stuff, but Ginger Baker on that album was amazing. 100 Years (Of Tears In The Wind) would be my vote.
Yeah the stuff that's tied to a stick. Yes that's a piano. Beginning to end.
Why i'm not getting this notifications FFS!.
My favorite rock song, love it from start to finish. Never missed a concert from QOTSA, every time they have come to Chile i have been there and this song is always played differently and always sounded perfect.
Was trying to look at the comments if anyone shared for you that out of Kyuss was birthed Queens of the Stone Age. Both the singer/guitarist, Josh Homme and bassist Nick Oliveri (who left Queens after thus album) were in Kyuss
The singer (whoâs also the guitar player) was Kyussâ guitar player
The drummer is hitting the snare with both sticks in the breakdown
Little sister is my favourite QOTSA song for playing bass guitar
This is probably my favorite Queens of the Stoned Age song. The radio sounds are something that's a theme throughout the whole album.
Yessssssssssss thanks for listening to the people Geebz! Toss up between this song and No One Knows are two of my fav QOTSA music videos.
Tame Impala or King Gizzard would be fun for Stoner Rock week! Tame definitely something like Let It Happen or even their older stuff like Lucidity would be fun! Also King Gizzards Crumbling Castle will always be my request!
King Giz will always be my #1 band. No matter what you feel like listening to, they have an album for you
Big Fig Wasp is my all time fave KG song! Hypnotic!
@@Dinosaurs_with_laser_guns Honestly Robot Stop through Mr. Beat could be one of my favourite 5 song back to backs in King Gizz history, it's all just so good!
@@ThatGenericCanadian For sure, itâs brilliant!
Oh my god youâre finally doing more Qotsa!! Iâve been waiting foreverrrrrr đ love the video!
Absolutely love this song, first one I heard by this band many years ago!
Queens of the Stone Age - I Appear Missing live at Pinkpop 2013 (Extended Outro)
I have this album with the cover signed by all the members of the band. It's one of my prized possessions.
Hey Geebz! Fun fact. The singer from Queens of the stone age played guitar for and wrote a lot of the Kyuss riffs. He was like 18 when the band got signed. Check out I appear missing or The Vampire of time and memory from QOTSA next please!
Man, was happy when I saw the stoner rock week announcement as I knew QOTSA would come up. Specially this song which is awesome. Love Queens, they need loads more recognition.
Just listened today again. So varied and broad. AAAAAAAAAA lovei t.
Quite a good theme... Thanks for doing what you do my guy!
Amazing song. Gotta love any song with the same piano key blasted throughout
Love that song. And I love the channel, man
It's always nice when you go back to alternative music, but I do wish you'd chosen an earlier track from QOTSA. Something from 'Rated R' such as 'The Lost Art of Keeping a Secret' or 'Autopilot' really showcases the technical brilliance of this band. Better production on that record too.
Yes! This album will always be a classic. From top to bottom, amazing! This was one of the first songs I learned on guitar thanks to Rocksmith at the time. Really great tool. And such an easy song to learn đ
lol Tai Stick. Hahahahaha. That brought me back. Great vid Bro! Always get my thumbs up!
their best track. just full on power. love it so much
You rock Mr. Geebz. What a blessing you are. I love music more than anything and I appreciate you brother. Peace.
Geebz another great upload! Hope you are well
This is from one of my favorite albums of all time. This is one of those albums that is best listened to all the way through in one sitting. The transitions are so creative and totally adds to the Fear and Loathing vibe I get from this album.
As for recommendations for my Queens of the Stone Age, from the same album, First it Giveth is my favorite song on the album.
Yes!!!! Finally some more queens of the Stone Age!!!!!!!
The Vampyre of Time and Memory
For more of Queens of The Stone Age, try "You Can't Quit Me Baby" if you're looking for pure stoner madness. For a poppier, hard rockish sound, perhaps "I Sat By The Ocean".
I Sat By The Ocean from ...Like Clockwork
Great production, some unexpected breaks, a lot of layers to peel back.
More QOTSA is not a bad idea :P
Love your breakdowns :D
That keyboard/piano on the background reminds me the one in The Stooges' Raw Power. Kinda gets on my nerve and at the same time it's great.
Please do Truckfighters - Desert Cruiser. It'll fit perfect in this stoner rock week.
Completely forgot about that one. Iâm gonna sit down and play through that album now
Iâve been jamming QOTSA since about 2001. This is their best album for sure. Awesome band!
Thai stick... takes me back...you know its good when it has red cotton in it
Drums are done in two sessions. One to capture the drums and one for the cymbals. This record is their finest moment and with always be one of the greatest of all time to me.
I like that the album is one piece of media meant to be consumed as one.
the most underrated QOTSA album is their self-titled debut
There are infact keys in the background. Originally just for the studio; though in more recent years there's a keyboardist on tour as well.
I could listen to Queens of the Stone age everyday and never get sick of the great music they have recorded over the years. Great review of one of the greatest bands ever!
One of my favourite driving tracks!
Try "Stoned Jesus" song - I Am The Mountain. Great ride
Thanks Geebs!!!! Yes yes yes more queens!!!!
