This album of theirs is quality! Non stop rockers track after track. Makes a great soundtrack when driving. ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-L2H3hMKiD5k.html
One of my biggest musical regrets was not knowing this album (apart from "No one Knows") prior to seeing QOTSA at LaLapalooza 2003. We ended up in the pit standing 7 feet from Josh (and later Chris Cornell when Audioslave was on) while he rocked our faces off. Great time...
Kyuss was the originator of Desert Rock, essentially Kyuss is to QOTSA as Nirvana is to Foo Fighters. "Welcome to Sky Valley" should definitely be on your list. Two of my favorite songs ever are on there, "Demon Cleaner" and "Odyssey". There is a Tool bootleg cover of "Demon Cleaner" with Scott Reeder the bass player from Kyuss sitting in for the song and it's delicious (but you should catch it on the original album first to see how they elevate it). Maybe tack it on the end of the Kyuss album reaction.
They're literally drinking alcohol which is a super powerful downer/psychotropic drug. It just happens to be normalized, it effects the mood and mind in ways even "harder" drugs can't achieve. It just takes more. They should smoke a bowl maybe.
You guys would absolutely fucking LOVE listening to Them Crooked Vultures only album. Supergroup with Dave Grohl on drums, Josh Homme (QOTSA) on guitar, and Jon Paul Jones (Led Zeppelin) on bass. Yeah, you heard that right. Next time you wanna get fired the fuck up, pop on that one. They are coming out with a new album the next time those three titans can get together to record it. Great reaction, keep it up and you guys will grow like crazy in the RU-vid space with quality content like this.
You're actually spot on when you mentioned driving so far that the radio just changes stations. The main concept of the album is the idea of going on a road trip without touching the radio and just listening to whatever it picks up as you drive so far that it has to pick up another radio station.
Josh would enjoy that y’all are listening to QOTSA with a toad on your knee… IMO they are the most consistently excellent rock band of the past 1/4 century and In Times New Roman from 2023 might be the best rock album of the 2020s!
I love QOTSA with all I have but saying it is one of be best 2020's albums... Idk, I just know they are MORE THAN capable of doing better, Doesn't mean they have to. Still a solid album.
@TheFilipe158 fortunately, I've been on the QOTSA bandwagon since 1999, and I know what to expect: Every QOTSA requires many listens, bc they always have SO many nuggets, so many songs that get BETTER on subsequent listens. ITNR was that for me, again (just like Like Clockwork & even Villains, if you can get by the strange production choices by Mark Ronson... mostly just tons of compression).
QOTSA are legit the best rock band of modern times. It's when they hit the haunting tracks like Vampyre of time and memory when things become truly unforgettable.
Unexpected, but a huge surprise. Favorite band of all time right here, kings of songs to blast while driving fast. Really recommend their album Like Clockwork
Saw these live at Glastonbury last year. I was in the second row of people from the front, last band of the festival. It WENT OFF!. Best set I saw all weekend, if you ever get a chance to see them live, jump at it!
Agree! Saw them twenty odd years ago when they were touring this album at a small venue in Sydney. They melted my face, and probably are the cause of my tinnitus, sooo loud, but sooo good.
I always picture mad Max when listening to this album. I was in high school when this album came out and I had it in my CD player for months. Never gets old.
the fact you include as much of the song as you can for every song of the album is so awesome man, first time i saw yall but im def subbing after this :))
by far the best aspect of this channel, for me anyway, is that, this is exactly what me and my friends would do back in the day, and its so pure. Thank you for putting this out there. It's new and different, but also hitting on many nostalgic notes. Love seeing you guys wile out to QOTSA
everyone: if you haven't seen the live performance of song for the dead with dave grohl... you HAVE TO FUCKING WATCH IT. that's all i've got to say about that.
Its insane how underrated this album is, insane riffs, choruses vocals drums solos bridge sections rythm patterns, not one second feels wasted or boring
For a solid year, I drove to work 45 min both ways and only had this CD to listen to. I gotta say there is something about driving in traffic to these songs that strikes a visceral chord.
My favourite vocalist ever, Mark Lanegan, sang a few tracks in this album as well as others. His crude, raspy voice and serious demeanor compliments Queens' music so damn much. He sings in Hanging Tree and Song for the Deaf on this album, which are personal favourites of mine.
So crazy detail about this album... Dave Grohl did two passes on the drums each time: once with electronic drums and real cymbals, then again with real drums and electronic cymbals. Usually if you record a whole full kit at once, there's bleed-over with all the sounds. So recording that way assured the tightest drum sound possible without limiting Dave.
What's even crazier is that Dave never listens to his first drum through before doing that second one. And one of his techs said there's absolutely no bleed over. He said it's un-natural and kind of freaky but then again it's what is Dave Grohl.
Me encontré de casualidad con este canal y justamente es el primer video que veo. Me encantó su reacción a este discazo! Personalmente es una banda que me encanta. Me alegra que gente joven se interese y le guste música de verdad. Seguiré viendo más de su contenido y disfrutando de buena música 👍 éxito muchachos.
I've been waiting for you guys to review an album that I am unfamiliar with. I've only listened briefly to QotSA. I have a feeling watching and listening to your reaction to it is going to be exactly what I've needed to crack that nut.
Do yourself a favour and start with QOTSA: QOTSA, then Rated R then this. basically, go chronologically cos they definitely change as they age. (Like all bands)
I really recommend you to hear Soundgardan's album "Superunkown", with of the best voices in rock history, Chris Cornell. Also I think you would love The Smashing Pumpkins "Siamese Dream".
Welcome to the Stoner Rock genre! Check Kyuss" Sky Valley " "... And the circus left town" fuck, check their whole discography. Check The Eagles of Death Metal, Them Crooked Vultures. The whole thing about stoner rock is that is very hypnotic, to emulate the buzz of being high as fuck. And is also very primal, i can't wait to check you guys listen to Kyuss Demon Cleaner or Catamaran
This is epic, one of the featuring artists in this album on some songs (Six Shooter, Gonna Leave You, Make it wit chu) is guitarist Dean Ween. You guys should react to Ween’s 1997 album The Mollusk, especially if you guys are into alternative like QOTSA and Tool
'...Like Clockwork' by QotSA is my favourite album ever, a dark, deep turn for them. It's still filled with absurdly cool riffs, but has a distinct air of eerieness and depression. It was written after Josh Homme, the lead singer, actually died for a few minutes during a botched surgery. When he awoke, he said he'd lost all music in his head, he couldn't hear it anymore, his relationship with it had seemingly disappeared. Slowly it came back, with ...Like Clockwork as a result. But there's more to it, a lot about hatred and paranoia, a loss of love. It does feel like Queens' 'Downward Spiral' in a way.
This the first album I heard by them. I got it 16 cd for $1 in the mail. That's how I got all my albums in the early 2000s. Never paid 1 cent. I also discovered slimshady before the whole world did. I was bumping that album months before it was all over the radio, Just cuz drdre was attached.
Here is an unnecessarily long list of albums to add to the list F♯ A♯ ∞ [Expanded Version] - Godspeed You! Black Emperor Soundtracks for the Blind - Swans The Seer - Swans The Velvet Underground & Nico - The Velvet Underground & Nico Toxicity - System Of A Down To Be Kind - Swans The Miseducation Of Lauryn Hill - Lauryn Hill Lift Your Skinny Fists Like Antennas To Heaven - Godspeed You! Black Emperor To Pimp A Butterfly - Kendrick Lamar good kid, m.A.A.d city - Kendrick Lamar Minecraft - Volume Alpha - C418 In The Aeroplane Over The Sea - Neutral Milk Hotel Master Of Puppets - Metallica Remain In Light - Talking Heads In The Court Of The Crimson King - King Crimson Meddle - Pink Floyd The Glow, Pt. 2 - The Microphones White Light From The Mouth Of Infinity - Swans Violator - Depeche Mode Madvillainy - Madvillain Led Zeppelin IV - Led Zeppelin (What's the Story) Morning Glory? - Oasis If there is an album that you think is missing, there is a likely chance I have not heard it yet, that's why it's missing
man i loved this album i was staying in san diego at the time and crossed the border into mexico even though we werent supposed to ((military) listening to this album start to finish
Acid Bath is a band you two should seriously consider looking into. I’m not sure how into metal you both are, but they only released two albums while together and you will never hear music like it anywhere. You should give them a reaction, regardless whether you’ll like them or not.
This album defined my childhood when it released. My brother showed me "No One Knows" Back when I was playing a lot of Halo 1 and Counter-Strike 1 back in 2002 and it was unlike anything else I had ever heard. An album I HIGHLY suggest and know you would love would be "Pure Rock Fury" by the band Clutch. It came out around the same time and is fucking RIFFF and groove central.
I know you guys probably have a lot of albums lined up for the future, but based off one of your last polls, I would love it if you react to Disintegration and Vulgar Display of Power
If you guys like this you should listen to Audioslave’s first album. It has Chris Cornell (Soundgarden) and Rage Against The Machine (after their singer left). It will knock your socks off.
Hey, love yinz, but you started to fade a bit there for a minute 5 tracks in lol... Just teasing. Millennial/Xennial here, who has seen QOTSA many times and met Josh one at Coachella, and fuckin love your reaction and appreciation for this band. PLEASE keep up the good content 🙏 🤘 💙
This specific line up doing this at Glastonbury is my fav 'supergroup' performance. Rated R is less 'mainstream' but equally as brilliant. The first album is incredible too.
Great reaction guys I used to love this album in the early naughties along with Mark Lanegan's album Bubblegum and Kings if Leon's album Youth & Young Manhood, I would recommend reacting to both these bangers too, especially the Mark Lanegan Bubblegum album it's fire.
That Kings of Leon album, to me every track is better than Sex is on Fire. Solid 2 albums following that one as well. It took their worst album to date to get them popular in the US.
@caseyjones9359 ah, good to hear from another fan, a criminally underappreciated album, in my opinion, and yeah 100 Days also one of my favourite songs too, especially the story it tells.
Absolutely love this album, the entire desert road trip vibe makes it so fun to listen to. The Downward Spiral by Nine Inch Nails is also a fantastic album! Was excited to hear you guys mention that too, 100% worth a listen!
Watching you guys is like watching Superbad, except you're both a mix of Michael Cera and Jonah Hill. I recommend Them Crooked Vultures, a one album project with Josh Homme, Dave Grohl, and John Paul Jones of Led Zeppelin.
Did u enjoy the three singers through the whole album? Josh Homme founder and lead. Mark Lanegan from Screeming Trees (rip) and my man. My buddy sweet and sour Nick Oliveri brought in the project after the kyuss experience? God this album i remember like yesterday how we were happy while listening
@@theeJAYBUDshow Josh is the one with the falsettos and mellow tone (No One Knows, First it Giveth, Sky is Fallin, Go with the Flow, etc), Nick is the banshit crazy screaming dude, and the bassist (Millionaire, Six Shooter, and also changes it up for Gonna Leave You and Another Love Song), and Mark is the raspy, sinister one, a grunge legend (Song for the Dead, Hanging Tree, God is in the Radio, and he gives the spoken interlude in A Song for the Deaf)
@@theeJAYBUDshow I commented on a previous video to recommend you listen to Mark Lanegan's solo albums. He is hands down my favourite singer/songwriter of all time. Now that you've had a taste, please find the time to dig deeper.
the end the title track, the laughing is a reference to the second album - Rated R. Rated R and Songs For The Deaf are my favorite Queens albums. Has all the members I enjoy.
Every Qotsa album is a banger. You GOTTA do Lullabies To Paralyze. That's the album that made them my favorite band. It's awesome seeing guys my age appreciate my favorite music that I feel like no one else in gen z appreciates. P.s. make sure you hit the b sides/hidden tracks on each album. P.s.s. props for telling that lady to screw off lol
Stolen from Wikipedia "Songs for the Deaf is a loose concept album, taking the listener on a drive through the California desert from Los Angeles to Joshua Tree, tuning into radio stations from towns along the way such as Banning and Chino Hills." This is meant to be listened to while driving. I can't get enough of this album, great reaction
Don't forget, you haven't finished the album until you've listened to "feel good hit of the summer" it was a single released from this album I believe. The laughing track before mosquito song is a teaser for it, or the next album. I can't remember clearly.
