Queens of the Stone Age - Song for the Deaf (Early Version) 

gemainchains I always thought it was totally badass the way he stood still and held the mic stand (yes, I know I'm replying to a 5 year old comment, but still)

godbless you, mark is the man. im right there with you

Standing still, menacingly, works well for Mark as he is quite tall

Made me think of an old friend that replied to someone sayin Yngwie Malmsteen was gettin fat,,, "-He can be a fat whore if he wants to if he plays guitar like that..."

I don't think anybody complains about Lanegan

Same here, such a great performance, and such a great voice 😭🤘🏻🤘🏻🤘🏻

Yup..unreal.. I'm drinking a beer right now with this full blast..fuck you neighbors lol

He's talking to Brant . So .......

And bring back Mark

​@@nesfan8 mark is gone :( rip to my favorite vocalist 😢

I think it’s “jump down, jump down, *in*”

@@racetucker56 I just wish Josh Homme would release a studio version of this iteration

Matt Cameron was the first

I agree. This version kicks ass. Real one's better though by far.

Agree ❤

He is as lead on the album version

@@musicting2767Not really, Josh sings lead vocals while Mark harmonizes as well as adding little vocal parts to the musical breaks.

Organic Synthesis music is about moving forward and their new stuff kicks ass.

yeah man, ive been a fan since 2000. just recently getting back into them. stopped listening after era vulgaris, lullabies is ok as well as era vulgaris. sftd was their last really solid album.

who looks like Chad Smith of the RHCP....there is a stamp somewhere....

And looks like Ron Perlman too...

ha thats why i clicked on the video.

isl1551 me too XD

+Anki Hansen Like a mix between Will Ferrell and Mark Wahlberg!

I know if he did every song he'd be on would be twice than badass. Would have loved to hear that

Yea probably..

I agree

He would *love* that.

and Tom Waits!

+Harry Green the album has mark and josh as singers, the diference is that this version of this music is not the oficial, mark sings the oficial too

+pablo medeiros Haha yeah I know, I was saying he looks a bit like Tom Waits

looks like i've awnsered the wrong coment

Who?

I think it's awesome that Queens get the success and recognition they do, but I totally agree and miss this era of the band so badly. At one point, QOTSA were hands down the best rock and roll band in the whole fucking world. They didn't need gimmicky sounds like making their guitars sound like shit (era vulgaris) or 3 guitarists with a million effects and multiple dudes playing keyboards. They could just fucking kill it with bass drums and a couple guitars. No "dark" dance music. Just a bunch of swaggering Rock songs by dudes who were still trying to prove themselves with some great songs. The performances felt vital and everything new that they did genuinely broke new ground. They've grown, and they're not those red eyed dudes going for fucking broke. Now a large contingency of their fans weren't out of their diapers when I discovered them. The dangerous, fucked up, drugged out Queens of old would terrify them and they don't wanna know about anything before MTV played the Little Sister video. I'd rather it be Queens than some other lowest common denominator bull shit, and I am happy for them (Josh and hired hands) but I can't help but think Walkin On the Sidewalks or You Can't Quit Me Baby with Nick and Josh and some honest to god dudes from the desert (Gene, Alfredo, etc) will always trump whatever artistic, gothic dance rock with 10 people playing on it they will put out next.

+Justin Vavala You've gotta admit though, their new live shit Is amazing. Love it or hate it, it's still a great show. And the fact they're going all out for what they create just means they've moved on from your personal taste.. Not that they've wimped out, or that they'd give a damn wether they'd been "Trumped". I'd be willing to bet if today's QOTSA did Songs For The Deaf live they'd do justice to it.

+Justin Vavala each era was special. you can't expect a married 42 year old with 2 kids to keep writing songs like feel good hit or quick and to the pointless. i like the st-sftd eras for what they are, and i like lullabies-lc eras for what they are.

+Prepsi Of TDU2 3 kids now

Jack Hellesoe yep, great for them

+Antoine Macq from the desert

Не знал,царство небесное, тебе парень.Уважение.

this was the first version of the lyrics for the song....the intro is actually...Living underground, here against the track, can I taste the sound, earth up to my neck...you had it close though... QOTSA!!!

Lol yeah, the remix has the first verse

I agree wtf is this guy singing??

no...look closer. Marky Mark Wahlberg resembles Lanegan.

sssswing and a miss

He hasn't done much heavy stuff like Queens but his solo work and work with the Trees are great!

Lanegan/The Screaming Trees gave a young Josh Homme direction...and, a major break. If you look closely in "Nearly Lost You," you will see a 6'5" ginger that looks more like an uncomfortable fraternity brother than the creative lyrical guitar/vocal genius that we know today. Lanegan gave him a chance to cover when everybody was grunge w/long hair in flannel and fitting a big-selling stereotype at the time (Kyuss). As Homme's fame/ego grew, he started butting heads with the guys that helped make him....Nick Oliveri and Joey Castillo. Using drug use as an excuse (which Homme was openly indulging in as well), Homme dropped both temporarily, to keep an imposing girlfriend (now wife) happy. Funny part is that Lanegan struggled most w/heroin and amphetamine abuse....but, Homme seemed to look the other way for Lanegan. Never forgetting who put aside stereotypes and saw Homme as a diamond in the rough.

Michael Monk Wow, I didn't know that Josh Homme was a shitty person.

Got any source for all this?
