The Desert Sessions - Rickshaw 

Welcome to stereo sound rock, not alot of bands do it but when they do its great

Not just the guitars, their are two drummers as well

Oh this is literally how every rock guitar recording is done. Did you not notice the two drum takes? That's the thing about this song that stands out as far as experimental recording goes, that's never done

Yeah, I think that’s how a lot of tracks are recorded, but what’s really special here is the two different drum tracks being played. I remember one is Alfredo and one is another drummer from this particular Homme era, but it really is so fun to hear because it tricks your ear into thinking there’s an octopus on the drums.

Honestly hits so hard

Agreed.

100%

Bring it back gentle for me but this is right up there

would be perfect, they fit nicely each other.

You mean Avon? Right?

@@mattvgyo Rickshaw isn't a Qotsa song.

Yes, but it depends who has rights to the song. Avon was changed so that Qotsa could use the song legally.

Josh Homme might have recorded it during desert sessions 5&6 in 1999, but Rickshaw was allegedly written by John Mcbain from Monster Magnet back in the plastic turks demo in 1997. He owns at least part of the rights to the track. You're free to play others songs in a session, but you can't claim it as your own band's song legally unless you have permission and/or royalty deals like what Qotsa has done with Alain Johannes and Mario Lalli songs in the past.

Cherry, you rule! I agree 100%

Agreed 🤙

Agreed…

It has helped me through the hard years.

That's what I was just thinking. I've been listening to all of Josh's tracks for 20 years and am just realizing the drums are insane. I have heard this song over 200 times easily lol.

Two drum tracks

Sean Kerr Stunning music...

No love for Powdered Wig Machine? I think that's my favourite from that album after Crawl Home. I mean I am a sucker for PJ Harvey but her vocals on PWM are so fucking good

yes, for me is one of the top 5 in my life soundtracks....

And h.r giger

+Bluehooded dragon " Spot on Mr Smaug,you know y'er stuff!!! Not only creator of Alien,i think he was one of them too... 👽👾

He didn't technically create it. He inspired it and Co directed some of the films. Maybe I'm an alien too ;*

Also it's a better song

I didn't know that about the drummers. Thought it was the guy form the first Queens album, I always forget his name. Do love him though

My God Is The Sun is actually more similar to Running Joke, from Era Vulgaris...

Alfredo Hernandez? He's also amazing, but I heard he played drums on Rickshaw demo, it's somewhere of youtube

I think when people make the connection between the two, they're usually talking about the QotSA/Plastic Turks version instead. ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-m-Qhc6QYsWI.html

Where is this from?

George Velev the last bit is from No Quarter by Led Zeppelin
