zubair thatthe best reply I've ever read. On that count, I humbly apologize mate. I'm a musician with word fuzz. Sorry mate. You say exactly what you want and ignore idiots like me. Brilliant.
zubair I think I must have eaten an angry goat that day. I didn't realize I was so full of bad words. Please accept my apology. I had no right to write what I wrote...goat or no goat.
Funny moment at 2:57 where Josh screws up and throws in another verse. Bound to happen at one of the early renditions of a new song and they solved it really well. I bet many people didn't even notice. As can be expected of a band like QOTSA. Do love it when stuff like this happens to great bands - it shows that they're still human and just some guys playing a bit of music together.
I noticed that too. It made it feel more human. I thought it was great especially because they kept their composure. Looking at each other like, this even new to us. And then, together, brought it back in a smooth fucking transition.
Laurens Reumers If this was someone's first time listening to the song then it probably goes unnoticed. Quick recovery. But I also sense they had this issue before.
I love Mikey Shoes. His and Josh's voices work really well together, an acoustic version of Villians of Circumstance is maybe the best example. He's really young, 32 - he's gonna have a helluva career. And my God his scream is just like the greatest thing ever - At the end of recent live renditions of Burn The Witch, so feral and it jumps like 4 octaves.
This album might not be for everyone, but for me all the songs I've heard are fantastic. Too many musicians completely 180 from what got them big (Black Keys "Turn Blue" I'm lookin at you) in an attempt to explore something new. Everything sounds like QOTSA, just a little different and in some ways a little new. It's them, but it's not the exact same. Great stuff.
I love Josh's guitar playing, especially the solo's. They're strange & unlike anybody else's, just like Jack White as well. Brilliant Also, I love when bands mess up and unexpected things happen, those are generally the best parts! 😊
Simon Dunkan he had a platinum tooth on the lower right side...that I'm guessing he got it replaced with a bridge or cap that looks more realistic. Now he has another tooth capped...probably a result of smoking most of his life.
Amazing live accoustic song. I have listened to several if the albums and the live versions are studio like quality. And cant wait to see them live in October
Yeahyeahyeah, I was thinking how this sounded like QOTSA but also like - this other collaborative effort between Joshua Homme & Masterful Musician(s) - not Eagles, but that one... And you beat me to it. It's fantastic and raw and powerful and catchy and dark and funny and not perfect. Which is just perfect.
I see that man almost looks sad to me and I'm not trying to say nothing like negative or anything it's just almost like he has been crying or something
Josh starts looking casual as fq, which is also probably how the tone of the song calls for on that intro. All he was missing was a lit cigarette in one hand and a glass 🥃 of bourbon in the other, on the rocks. 😁🤙🤟
I think Josh's voice gets better with every album, along with all band members' musicianship. I agree with others that I don't consider this to be their best album to date... but dang I really appreciate the new-but-still-familiar audiophilic journey the band sends me on with each piece of work released. Their music is a mandatory part of my daily life. One of the handful of severely underrated groups that I feel should be revered with the likes of Zeppelin, Rush, Sabbath, etc... not yet but within the next decade or two once their body of work shows enough consistency, creativity, originality, and sound evolution. In my opinion, the trajectory has been set and all that remains is the passing of time.
Since hearing this album, and mistaking it for bowie b-sides, I'm thinking this is supposed to be a darkworld version of heroes, or maybe a sequel. These guys really grew on me. When lullabies to paralyze came out, it was top 40's radio rock and i was too cool. It turns out, they were way too cool. God Save Josh Homme.
