"A Feast of Crows... A Song For The Dead"

[@borischakalov7973]

250 million years from now, that hi-hat will still be going.

[@smc7044]

Jon Theodore fits this band like a damn glove

[@sonicsrasta]

Totally. Stuff he did with Royal Trux was solid too

[@careyrichardson4894]

Have you seen in the basement? Unbelievable...

[@sonicsrasta]

I met Jon when he was working as a bar back at the Hawk and Dove in Washington DC - it was right when he got hired by Royal Trux - one of the greatest bands ever...

[@LoLinForU]

You can hear their guitars asking for mercy!! Holy Shit!!

[@sonicsrasta]

Lanegan’s absence as lead singer is so profound on this song. He was one of the greatest American singers of all time.

[@chavruta2000]

i love this anyway

[@garyrouyea3121]

R.I.P. Lanegan Much Love Much Respect...

[@dustystrouse4526]

Yep

[@groovyone]

Fuck yes.

[@TeresaBoots-qo5et]

Absolutely

[@dangollapalli5113]

0:47 Had to acknowledge that sick ass guitar tone and riff. Still sounds nastier than ever 20 years later

[@kyleanderson9713]

Bro I know right, so much menace has been poured into that guitar tone, it sounds like it has teeth

[@matiassiciliano3128]

The slight change Jon does in his kick drum pattern from Josh's 3:44 solo to Troy's solo 4:01, especially in this last one, is beautiful. He makes them feel like two completely different parts.

[@pablodmdp]

what a beast! thanx for posting this

[@ericweiler6571]

Jon is a fucking animal with two sticks and a drum kit... It's crazy how good this band is... I keep playing new songs I've never heard before and can't get enough

[@Remedy462]

...I'm crushed into the couch...and I don't think I can get up...hel...help...

[@thematmaz]

Best song of QOTSA !

[@ArmandoNetto]

queens of the stone oge

[@snoma]

+Armando Netto Queens Of The Stone Ooze?

[@rkoutz]

+Mathieu Mazon Quiet Ostriches tango sadly offbeat?

[@thematmaz]

Better now ? ;)

[@stick_mack]

Rob Koutz accurate description of the crowd

[@a.dudeman7715]

At 6:47, they still do the little confused "WHAT?!" before coming back in. Goddamn, what a show.

[@showsomesignsoflife]

Love that little gig/reference

[@jurgenmaassen9218]

Best song for me too and also best live performance of this song. Cheers from the Netherlands.

[@tanveerhasan2382]

I Concur

[@teijebrouwer]

Im from Netherlands too

[@Endlessnameless803]

That drummers really good

[@Megamando93]

John Theodore, formerly in The Mars Volta, is considered one of the better drummers playing today! Excited to see what he will bring to the next QOTSA album.

[@joardebaat2559]

looking back on your comment. what do you think?

[@hendrystevo]

Joar de Baat personally I think Jon done a really great job on Villains. No need to doubt his talent of a drummer. But personally I think all the songs are better live (especially The Way You Used To Do, he does a shit ton of fills throughout and it’s just cool)

[@joardebaat2559]

i think thats mostly because of the "compact" drum sound on the record. It doesnt sound as ballsy as his live performance. Not his fault tho. I do like the record btw.

[@jimb3566]

@@joardebaat2559 yeah, Jon did really well with what he could on Villains. Unfortunately the myriad other issues of the album kind of obscured that.

[@asdfghjkl4570]

3:43 the best part of this song

[@Fritz-the-Brat]

A p p l e D p the lovely fulltone ultimate octave

[@carlosprete5491]

Música show ! 🇧🇷👍🎸 São Paulo 2024.

[@paulawilliams3862]

Love love

[@zanetaylor2173]

best performance of this song i swear to god. "C'mon you spoiled motherfuckers"

[@henrysoney2378]

+Slash Rocks seems a little too slow for my tasting. I'll always like the Over the Years and Far Away performance.

[@zanetaylor2173]

+Henry Soney nothing wrong with the speed i dont think. love the gritty guitar tone from josh tho. but yea over the years and thru the woods (i think thats what u mean) is pretty good \m/

[@jon-umber]

Lol, the swigs of Patron before the song.

[@paulawilliams4380]

Love.love Love It

[@niamhgrogan2025]

Hi

[@paulawilliams3862]

Love

[@CyrusBlaxk]

They are literally trolling the crowd lol

[@silverfortytwo9506]

godly, i just wish they would let mickey do vocals - he can actually scream like a monster

[@paulawilliams3712]

Love love 💕 Josh forever

[@stevenrivera863]

This is one of the best outros ever.

[@machstem6390]

Tightest live band to ever grace us

[@venompogg4231]

the best venue for a sound like this realy able to capture the feeling they where going for

[@myriambalagna8764]

c est Fou toute la vie qu amène la chanson pour le morts!!!

[@ClaesN1973]

Best live version I have ever seen! F...... rock gods!

[@JaefarSABNW]

Screaming Trees prepared us for this.

[@thomasfalkenhagen8145]

OMFG

[@besttab]

Still in 2021 one hell of a Song...

[@cezar-andreipop6318]

Still awesome in 2022, and til the end of time

[@Jake-ov5gs]

for no IEMS with a click, they are so incredibly tight here, not even a single beat off, and even doing that trash can-esq break around 5:40, mind blowing the whole song

[@paulawilliams3862]

Love this song love love josh

[@jamessillas3026]

Best song isnt it?

[@paulawilliams3862]

There's a track in the line!

[@Paranoid_Alchemist]

Ya know, when you're really in the mood for this it really kicks in Queens of the fuckin stone age

[@jumpbox3]

I love Troy’s skidding car Vs Josh’s Woolly mammoth.

[@DistractedGenius]

Are those guitar pedals?

[@0lle168]

1:55 Josh should always play this part

[@emilezaha3678]

Tune

[@Makminah_]

Finally this band is back in tempo. The previous drummer likes to speed everyone up. I prefer Jon and Grohl on drums

[@careyrichardson4894]

By the way.... unbelievable!!!!!

[@santielfeo9418]

RIP mark Lanegan

[@paulawilliams3862]

There a track in the line

[@torstenbartz8531]

this song is so great - but like heavy sports to play ;-)

[@carolyncoleman9504]

I need doctor love, ❤️ forever love

[@paulawilliams3862]

Get a little closer get on board love josh

[@paulawilliams3712]

Fuck I love Josh 🖤🖤

[@nzed666]

4:20 John Theodores eyes light up because he so fucking lit

[@bryanbyerley4065]

I'm assuming that Josh has an immense power over the crowd during the intro of this song 😳

[@r.m.4228]

The last actual fucking ROCK Band!!!! 100% Badassery.

[@lennonfabian4866]

godly

[@keithiejoy]

A Song for the Dead Queens of the Stone Age It's late enough to go drivin And see what's mine That's a study of dying How to do it right You're a holy roller Get your bed in the loose If you're hanging around I'm holdin' the noose Come a little bit closer And get on tight In a horse rollin' over Just a track in the line Fuck it Come on, let's go drivin' Come on, let's take a little ride That's the study of dying How to do it right Songwriters: Josh Homme / Mark William Lanegan / Nick Oliveri

[@paulawilliams3712]

Love this fucking song ❤️❤️

[@farisfizz]

So what goes on at 3:05 with the guitar sound ?

[@mattvgyo]

Faris Sami, Troy has the volume turned all the way down on one of his guitar's pickups, when he plays that cool little staccato stuttering lick, he's switching back and forth really fast so it sounds like his guitar is cutting in and out. Sounds rad!

[@VladPandele]

To put it simply, the killswitch effect :b

[@smwrbd]

A tear in the reality curtain

[@Fritz-the-Brat]

mattvgyo throw in a bend and you're there!

[@halleysimpson4395]

thats my national anthem

[@paulawilliams3712]

So so in love with Josh Damm love this fucking song 🖤🖤

[@tcperret]

Oh me too sister! That man is something special.

[@RaquelSantos-km4cl]

Ginger Elvis 😍

[@n2ogames2022]

I wonder how this song would sound with double bass drums

[@DistractedGenius]

Probably not as good, I think the single kick let's the song breathe and adds groove, double bass would sound too crowded

[@chavruta2000]

the grateful dead?

[@Artsunrise]

Скиньте это Фреду)

[@paulawilliams3862]

Love love this song fuck

[@brianvictornonvictimbear928]

I'm glad they're doing the back of vocals don't mean to be a hater man I just don't think the new drummers got it I know he's technically really great but that's not what Queens of the Stone Age needs they need Joey back

[@franciscoalvar7183]

I prefer it with Mark but is ok

[@evanmcdonnell927]

Bro are you still bringing up shit from 12 years ago LOL

[@sebastianbarrios5403]

How come you let go a drummer like Jon Theodore.... I cant understand

[@fl0nk11]

Uh, they haven't...

[@speed.editzSss]

Joey castillo >>>

[@DistractedGenius]

Nah jon theodore is so much better in my opinion

[@neverbettercanada]

Ya no go without Lanagan

[@michaelogrady9395]

Not the same without Lanegan singing

[@xgarrett420x]

You right, homie. Song still kicks ass. Not the same without his vocals.

[@matthewryan9391]

Fk Someone’s physically big That intro And still, unmoving stature There’s other things emoting Watch out Fk the dam You either go or fall under Well shot

[@Swellington_]

Im sorry but he cant sing it like the other guy,sure,he's alright i suppose but he doesnt do this song much justice,unfortunately

[@theseattlegreen1871]

Lose the keyboards

[@MrKmd1000]

Didnt sound too bad til Josh opened his mouth, all downhill from there
