QOTSA - Live From The Basement 2009 (Audio)

[@TheDirthound]

Mexicola is the most perfect rock song ever.

[@719sikora]

They are so good, it's almost unfair.

[@Bradenmadebeats]

Almost unfair? Yeah, like my ex-wife ALMOST cheated on me for 2 years.. . Jk these people worked harder than anyone to earn this sound. Aurally arousing as fuck! 🎧🍆🤘 Who needs a subpar spouse when there’s QOTSA to listen to?

[@AudioAndroid]

Rare Situation where the Band sounds better live then on CD.

[@coliosucc7468]

IKR Somehow The Basement manages to nail the recording everytime!

[@chair1234567]

400+ plays? are you kidding me right now? This is one of the clearest and well balanced live recordings out there.

[@gregnicenh]

+chair1234567 The post is only two months old... Views on the older clips probably tally around a half mil, not to mention hits to Nigel's posts which were taken down when he moved the show to Crackle.

[@mdtanveerhasan1453]

Sad

[@jenniferziff2196]

I agree so sad zero taste in real original rock!!!!!

[@rossdavis8773]

These are some of the best versions of these songs available

[@Laneganswake]

This is why we need more basement. Same case with radiohead, White Stripes, Sonic Youth, radiohead (again), The Kills...etc etc

[@Abrahamhamham]

They were prepared. They knew Live from the basement is something bands and fans look forward to.

[@jennziff3830]

11 PEOPLE HAVE REALLY BAD TASTE!!!!!!!!!! JOSH IS MY GINGER HAIRED ELVIS!!!!!!!!!!! NOTHING BUT LOVE FOR QOTSA!!!!!!!!!! TY!!!

[@mar15115]

I love this soooo much

[@chrisbailey2098]

Amazing to find this, from seeing them do rated r as a support in 01/02/03 year ish in Bristol and then a couple of years ago for vulgaris in Edinburgh it's amazing to see the progression. I do agree that nick is sorely missed on some of the old ones. What a great half way, I just wish the foos and these would hook up for a UK show

[@sbs9755]

Fucking love this version

[@DogAlley]

the ending of Headache is so gnarly

[@drewscott9763]

This is all in my head. I know...

[@CraigStephens777]

Woooooooh!👍🎶

[@PublicEnemyMinusOne]

Dat sound cured my depression

[@Dextrome]

I don't know about curing, but it sure helps...

[@jennziff3830]

Hell yes qotsa cured my depression 2!!!!!!!!

[@MrKablesp]

Still the best version of Turnin on the Screw

[@ghostpasha9076]

If there's a better one, I haven't heard it...and I love the way the songs on Era sound

[@Laneganswake]

Hell yeah

[@sanfordsanford295]

Definitely nailing it

[@Measadam]

Would be really great to have an official release of this session with some additional unreleased content … a boy can dream xo

[@Mertztillithurts]

This is just --WOW-- from beginning to end!

[@SummersPep]

MyQotSA09 you're the best! Thanks~

[@threedog14]

Best version of monsters ever. They never played it like that again

[@engelbertus1406]

I'mSpecial there is a Pinkpop version floating around with the same enhancement ;)

[@sebastianverriest1520]

Just type in Qotsa pinkpop 2008, click the second video. Monsters is 30 min in. The whole vid is fantastic.

[@marcelloribeiro2750]

This is gold, oh yeah.

[@AudioAndroid]

How the hell is it possible to sound fucking better live then in the Studio

[@OllieGIBO]

This basically is a studio

[@lucabattiston2621]

Thank you for re-uploading!!!

[@emiliooliveri6778]

el mejor grupo del mundo

[@mimeinst8]

Totalmente

[@flushfries5633]

The best they’ve ever sounded

[@joshcairns5764]

Also the best version of Mexicola ever. Homme does so much better vocally on this than the album version.

[@oceanwavesandcocaine1129]

Josh is an iconic dude

[@spaced7470]

Thank you...

[@florenciathomas]

FAVORITE

[@fahntuh1399]

Millionaire just isn't the same without Nick screaming like a burn victim

[@arsenypesterev8738]

I actually like it better with josh doing the vocals. It gets kinda silly and sexy

[@jonbrooks6748]

Is Nick the bassist? I saw this video and yes, his guttural screams put this song over the top.

[@johnborowski4235]

@@jonbrooks6748 No, it's Mr. Shuman. Nick would sing.

[@Blake_.Dryden]

You're right as rain. Kyuss and Queens history is fraught with unhappy departures. Nick and Brant leaving Kyuss sucked, but Scott Reeder and Alfredo H. were perfect replacements if it had to be done. Alfredo leaving Queens was a gut punch and Nick's departure was a knockout. A technical woman beating knockout, but it hurt fans too.

[@GoingRampant92]

@@johnborowski4235 Negative sir, Nick was the bassist during the 1st 3 albums; he sang(screamed) tension head, millionaire, and a few others. Mark Lannegan also sang during this time on SFTD. Mikey replaced Nick for lullabies iirc. I don't believe Mikey sings, although i feel like he could do millionaire brilliantly.

[@r6erik]

I think this is my favorite version of Mexicola. Why does it sound so good?

[@whatshendrix]

It really sounds amazing. Maybe because it's tighter and deeper than the album version and has a fatter low end?

[@sanfordsanford295]

There's an older Live from the Basement set with Oliveri on bass with a way better performance of this song imo

[@threedog14]

10 years ago

[@bodee-m2e]

The placement of the first ad was absolutely despicable.

[@jennziff3830]

💙 💙💝🖤🖤😍😍

[@sunnyjim2957]

Sunny Jim!

[@jimywho1original]

Turnin on the screw sounds 💦 on this

[@jamesp4132]

aboy Nigel Godrich

[@EarthRockerAdam]

Weird to hear live music without a crowd cheering

[@jonbrooks6748]

I guess you couldn't hear me then...

[@francojosemuertes4273]

AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHH!

[@MrPeggox]

fuck yeaH!

[@washingt0ns]

Fuck yes. Thank you. Did you listen to Post Pop Depression?

[@SummersPep]

it's great, Iggy & Josh are cool together.

[@davidchanbaker]

Any chance of reuploading the audio download? Desperate for this version rather than the video version to listen to!

[@Blake_.Dryden]

Monsters has an awesome (hate the beach boys) beach boys feel that makes me wanna do that stupid hold your nose and act like your swimming dance.

[@Yee2128]

Камминг Аут. На вілет..

[@IMN602]

Millionaire without nick just sucks man :(
