18 A.D. - Queens of the Stone Age (Rarities)

[@TheWZAd]

Out of all the QOTSA songs, this sounds the most like a KYUSS song.

[@helloklaussen]

same execution as Gardenia

[@lesimodo]

A little gem… Queens/Kyuss fusion groove. Burrrrrrrn! Thanks for uploading!

[@stoneylonesome4062]

This is right after Gamma Ray had to change their Name to Queens of the Stone Age. John McBain of Monster Magnet was the bands second guitarist at the time. Alfredo Hernandez (Across the River, Yawning Man, Sort of Quartet, Kyuss) was on drums. This particular song has the bassist and drummer from Dutch Stoner band Beaver. Check that band out guys. John Garcia wore one of their T-Shirts during a performance on Italian television.

Thank you stoney you walking dictionary :P

[@MrRetroville]

QOTSA never plays this live. Why? What a great song. First QOTSA song I ever heard on Burn One Up. Whether you like the term or not, that album created the genre of stonnerock and Kyuss/QOTSA was the creative force behind it. The whole genre exploded just after Kyuss broke up.

[@joemayo4078]

Because Beaver & mans ruin own the rights to the song

[@CriticalSurvival0]

​@@joemayo4078 why? is this the same case with other b sides like Infinity?

[@Viking88Power]

@@CriticalSurvival0 Ive heard infinity live

[@ColonelCompton]

QOTSA have loads of underground stuff that nobody knows about, its nice to find something more ynderground by them!

[@shiftygoose7230]

HEAVY ass Kyuss old skool vibes on this one, love it.

[@JenniferL-lz2sv]

Everything they do is pure magic ❤

[@mr_guy661]

This song's from the album 'Burn One Up!' by QotSA, one of the earliest recordings I think

[@Mrmaddogdoug]

How can I be the only comment ? this is too good. Thanks for putting this up Stalker.I thought I had everything that QOTSA made.Reminds me of some of The Melvins best stuff.AWESOME!

[@MrFruitmand]

just found this song and the first 20 seconds that's all i could think about :)

[@BjornBerardi]

Our school janitor waar the bassist of qotsa

[@freeinformation9869]

would have loved to hear Gracia to sing over this.

[@3rdCanofSausageGravy]

Is there any way of obtaining the whole collection of b-sides and rarities legitimately? I've looked and looked and I can't find anything. It makes me sad because a lot of my favorite songs are b-sides and I can only listen to them on KZbin.

[@brendanb7222]

+NoahTheJerySpringer There's a vinyl that has them. Someone ripped the whole thing and put it on youtube. If you did some digging you could probably find one. If you've already found them by now then disregard this comment.

[@hammerheadduck]

You can get this on the burn one up compilation from 1997

[@nicolasriveros943]

Reminds me to "Piece of Pie" by Stone Temple Pilots

[@damonglines8856]

Baseline gives me flashbacks to spaceship landing lol

[@Rikitocker]

Kyuss groove ...

[@matthewodonoghue4123]

Mmmmmm... Meaty!. When was this one released, Kyuss days?

[@tammystone279]

Qool

[@markmooneisen8317]

Fuc#@in love it 😆

[@taylorperkins89]

Reminds me of Ted Nugent almost

[@MrRetroville]

All the best QOTSA songs sounded like Kyuss. The further Josh got away from the formula, the more dull they became. QOTSA is a shell of what it used to be.

[@DeadLifeBoat100]

nice opinion

[@Athapap]

MrRetroville either that or you found them through kyuss making you like them for their kyuss aspects and then when they moved on from their past and began creating their own style and fans you stopped liking them, you should probably listen to kyuss if you want to hear kyuss.

[@randomdude19]

MrRetroville Kyuss was great, but there's only so much you can do with one sound before ending up like most bands: trying too hard to be the same; ex: Greenday. However, Josh is a genius, he doesn't need a single formula.

[@joeldasilva2905]

+MrRetroville Josh has said many times that his mistake with Kyuss was getting roped in with their own sound. Everything Qotsa does is deliberately different than the thing before, the moment you start whining about how you liked the thing they were doing a while back and how they should just stick to that is the moment you forget what queens is all about. Just sit back and enjoy the ride! Era Vulgaris wasn't my favorite and i prefer Songs for the Deaf to Like Clockwork but it doesn't mean that they weren't great for what they were trying to accomplish. Don't get hung up on comparing every Qotsa record to Sky Valley or Songs for the Deaf! Every Qotsa record is a masterpiece in its own respect. Plus if you really don't like a Qotsa record then at least you know they are one of the few bands that guarantee that their next record won't sound anything like the last one!

[@coreyweatherford6096]

Agreed. Gamma Ray sessions were amazing, as were all the albums before Era Vulgaris, but kept getting worse each time. Totally different band,now. Like Clockwork is complete bullshit. Smooth Sailing is the only good song and maybe Kalopsia
