This video is a testament to why you should not try to 'keep pace' with partying rockstars.. or really, any 'party people' Edit: it's also a cautionary tale about pushing people and starting shit. Don't do it. Ever. You have no idea who or 'what' you're pushing around. Leave people alone, yeah? You might just get your teeth kicked in, or even buried in a shallow grave.
The day Josh Homme picked up a microphone, the world became a better place. There are two, maybe three vocalist in rock'n roll that can really grab a hold of one's soul. Josh Homme is one of them. Chris Cornell would be the other.
I still think of Josh as a guitarplayer who also ended up doing vocals than someone whos primarily a, singer. He is a super awesome singer with a nice distinctive voice though.
Hell is but the temple of the closed mind.... lyrical genius right there 👌🏻. I don't care how many years/decades go by.. this song will never get old to me
Smooth Sailing, I Sat by the Ocean, I Appear Missing (and some more I'm forgetting).... so many classic tracks on Like Clockwork. QotSA might be the most consistent band of the last 15+ years.
I listen to this a lot, and it even feels like every time I was drunk witrh my buddies in the city on a sweltering hot saturday in the summer. Stuff is...happening... and no matter what it was we just went with it and had fun and then later...you called WHO to come get us? So that's why he's so mad. And I did WHAT in his bathtub before I passed out? No seriously, I did that? And he's mad at only ME?
I remember Homme from kids older than me listening to Kyuss, then I caw him in Qotsa and thought the band had timeless stuff to offer, each couple of years I check them expecting them going to shit, yet they get better. Hats off to the band, vids are also always ones thay don't age. This is what you call genius
jesus that was directed well. i dont see much use of the on-body holster cam but this was possibly the most visually striking and gorgously fucked use. great work everyone involved, and i'm so happy to see good music be given visuals that compliment it in this strange future time of musical existence.
This video was directed by Hiro Murai, who also directed the videos for: - Childish Gambino - This is America - Childish Gambino - 3005 - Flying Lotus and Kendrick Lamar - Never Catch Me - Spoon - Do You Not to mention he's directed most of the episodes of the show Atlanta
You should be. The only immediate thought I can offer for someone cooler is if he managed to somehow create a baby souly from the power of badassness with like, Clint Eastwood or some shit. Long Live the Queens
It's always been hard for me to pick a favorite anything; movie, band, food, etc., but I decided the QOTSA is my favorite band. Everything that Homme makes with Queens is gold.
It's all in motion No stoppin' now I've got nothin' to lose And only one way up I'm burning bridges I destroy the mirage Oh, visions of collisions Fuckin'bon voyage It's all smooth sailing From here on out I got bruises and hickies Stitches and scars Got my own theme music It plays wherever I are Fear is the hand That pulls your strings A useless toy Pitiful play thing I'm inflagranti In every way It's all smooth sailing From here on out I'm gon' do the damage That was getting done God only knows Where love vacations If reason is priceless There's no reason to pay for it It's so easy to see And so hard to find Make a mountain of a mole hill And the mole hill is mine I hypnotize you And no one can find you I blow my load Over the status quo Here we go I'm a little bit nonchalant But I dance I'm risking it always No second chance It's gonna be smooth sailing From here on out I'm gon' do the damage 'Til the damage is done God only knows So mind your behavior Follow prescriptions Of your bloated savior Every temple is gold Every is designed Hell is but the temple Of the closed mind Closed mind Closed mind Closed mind It's all smooth sailing From here on out
To me, this video represents QotSA's style perfectly. The sorta buzzed out daze, blurred memories and the next day hangover just fits with their music. Ever since the Feel Good Hit Of The Summer
stuporstar Well, ...Like Clockwork is a criminally underrated abum that was overshadowed by pop releases at the time, which sucks, because Queens of the Stone Age are truly one of the most talented and musically interesting bands around today. Maybe ever.
Mainstream Pop people have Hangover by Taio Cruz (is that right? It's been ages since I've seen that name) while we have Smooth sailing by QOTSA which is far better and more awesome.
Holy hell, I was listening to this track while studying. I look up and see a foot being buried and had to rewind to watch the whole video. That was an epic ride for this awesome song.
This was played at my wedding for our 'first dance'. On record too just to make it that much sweeter. We got so carried away, we forgot to invite everyone else to join in with us... :)
Shinagawa station...qotsa has literally stalked me everywhere I’ve gone in Japan since Lullabies to Paralyze...its a good thing I love this god damn band
I love this comment so much, I periodically check for it every couple of months. There's only one comment under a QOTSA video that can go toe to toe with this one - Glastonbury '02 full set with Dave on drums, the whole set video, and the comment is about a particularly charismatic rendition of Regular John.
Yeah, because gingers come with extra punching power. I'm not sure I'd want to party with him, but can I hire him as a bodyguard? Oh, he's got a job already? Damn.
4:10 is the musical equivalent of being on a trip. Just like the video. Its so stange to be heard in a kind of mainstream song. Im not complaining i love it.
goddamn it. qotsa makes such catchy tunes but with subject and video matter to still be fucking weird and cool still. this album is one of the best records in a long time
There was me, that is Josh, and my five droogs, that is Akihiko, Hisako, Kenji, Masato, and Yoshi, and we sat in the Karaoke Sake bar trying to make up our rassoodocks what to do with the evening...
The beginning of the video, with the men drinking at the table is EXACTLY what I think of when people say “Let’s go out for Korean barbecue!” A bunch of men, in a restaurant, guarding the best bowls of food ever.
I've been watching QOTSA videos all afternoon. This is the first one I've seen today filmed in HD. I've never really noticed the difference until now. Man, what a difference.
...why the hell is there 65 👎against this vid!! IT'S JOSH HOMME!! He's a god, anything josh does is magic! Love this concept and it's nothing like how I imagined this music vid would be XD bravo josh, once again your genius messed up mind produces sheer badass epicness 👏👌💆
Everytime I share this people seem to think it's about fixing your life and getting things to flow the right way when in fact it's about the exact opposite
Lyrics It's all in motion No stoppin' now I've got nothin' to lose And only one way up I'm burning bridges I destroy the mirage Oh, visions of collisions Fuckin 'bon voyage It's all smooth sailing From here on out I got bruises and hickies Stitches and scars Got my own theme music It plays wherever I are Fear is the hand That pulls your strings A useless toy Pitiful plaything I'm inflagranti In every way It's all smooth sailing From here on out I'm gon' do the damage That needs gettin' done God only knows Where love vacations If reason is priceless There's no reason to pay for it It's so easy to see And so hard to find Make a mountain of a mole hill If the mole hill is mine I hypnotize you And no one can find you I blow my load Over the status quo Here we go I'm a little bit nonchalant But I dance I'm risking it always No second chance It's gonna be smooth sailing From here on out I'm gon' do the damage 'Til the damage is done yeah God only knows So mind your behavior Follow prescriptions Of your lord and savior Every temple is gold Every hook is designed Hell is but the temple Of the closed mind Closed mind Closed mind Closed mind It's all smooth sailing From here on out Shut up Pow!
This is the up there with the funniest music videos I've ever seen. I can't stop watching and pissing myself laughing. Josh you are the King of my world and everything you touch turns to gold. My new mission in life is to become a status quo xx
