It's like early Sabbath with a post-punk, post-grunge hangover chaser. But this hangover's worth it. Mexicola closes out the century in style. This album had me at Regular John. Decades later you still can't quit me. Baby. It's pronounced "Mommy".
I remember the first time I heard this album. It had been out about 6 months and my mate was raving about. I was so blown away by how stupendous it was. I was terrified that any future album would disappoint me. Thank god I was wrong. What a fucking band. What a set of albums. I genuinely love everything they have done.
I used to walk by these cats in the halls of Palm Desert High School. I had PE with Nick. I never did have an opportunity to talk to Josh or John Garcia. I spoke to Brant and Alfredo a couple times. I hung out with Jesse Hughes a few times and jammed with him. I was always at the skating rink where Jesse worked. I attended a generator gig in the Indio Hills and it sounded HEAVY out there! It's pretty wild and kind of neat to watch these cats become famous.....good for them! Rock on, fellas!
Jesus this song is criminally under appreciated by the masses. I missed seeing QOTSA perform in a small venue (50 to 100 seats) after a Foo Fighters concert in Dallas. I thought the guy was scalping, nope selling tickets to one of my favorite bands 🤦♂️
no clue what brought people here four months ago but i'm all for it. still listen to this album more than any of the others and this is easily one of my favs on it
Setting sun deals hands of gold There's velvet eyes in Mexico Just a fall away and all she said was true Speak in tongues, speak in lies Drooling livers, born to die It's a wonder that those guns don't point at you Oh, oh Oh, oh go on (Keep sayin') you won't (live forever) (Keep sayin') go on, (keep sayin') go on (Keep sayin') you won't (live forever) Point and shoot, I know just what you mean In a world that's full of shit and gasoline, babe One dog's dead, one's on the phone, just leave a lung or leave it alone It's that same old song again, I hate it 'cause it's true Oh, oh Ooh, ooh go on (Keep sayin') you won't (live forever) (Keep sayin') go on, (keep sayin') go on (Keep sayin') you won't (live forever)
A great song! I'm happy to see something going on... Onestly i hoped in a new album "out of the blue" but I'm not at all disappointed by some good old songs ;)
Nachdem ich nun den Text. Von mexicola vollständig kenne muss ich sagen : Ja ich möchte es schon immer, aber jetzt such ich mir die Riffs dazu. Der absolute kracher. ❤
To live forever , not the same flesh and blood . But the same life energy born , over and over again , until we fulfilled our own destiny , only then , the energy moves on , peace , love , hope and understanding , tod .
