It shouldn't be a surprise to anyone who sees this that 25 years later. They're still the f****** greatest band in forever.

[@ericritchie6783]

Nah, "they" are not this anymore.

[@StraightJacketFitting]

@@ericritchie6783Josh’s baby, so basically yes

[@ericritchie6783]

@@StraightJacketFitting Essentially not. Completely different band except for one directing member who's like 25 plus years older and comes across pretty different these days. Different members different inspiration different material. Josh is an individual not a group.

[@BabylonCentral]

Yes. Agree.

[@tonjawarner1610]

​@@ericritchie6783Every group grows, evolves, changes. What's been constant since he was in Kyuss as a young teen, is his amazing creativity and genius. Everything he has done is just fucking awesome.

Monday nights in Winnipeg especially lol

"Hey everybody. You know this is live on the radio. So I'd like to start by saying...FUCK." - Josh Homme. Enter Regular John. One of the most bad ass opening to a show ever. And Dimond Dave Catching in the shadows. Prime Queens.

[@HailSchmitler-wz1wk]

So rebellious and anti authoritarian. Too bad they probably got their clot shot. But hey at least they’re willing to cuss

[@felix01089o]

i miss the days with nick. his bassplaying was essential for the queens sound. dude that bass sound was just..... holy shit... on another level.

[@therealrcg6838]

Totally agree. Unlike now where their bass sound is apparent but too candied in the mix. Prefer a more raw and intense vibe to their sound

I Bet If Nick would be still in the Band they woudnt have become the shit Show they are now.

When live, they never stuck to the albums. They improved it and allowed for more jam. Very much appreciated. Got to love the fuzz too. Makes me warm and fuzzy hearing it again. Bad ass band from the start.

[@scottallen9556]

58:21 the quintessential Josh Homme guitar solo! Unorthodox, maniacal runs that have never been heard yet feel like classics somehow. Truly unique and unpretentious. A favorite for sure

[@startervisions]

Listen to them play Mexicola. Alfredo is really nailing the signature groove that's perfect for this band. Gene Troutman stepped it up and grooved harder, but this is QOTSA still in raw band form, and they have really tightened the lock to the desert sound. Thanks!

[@soundgarden8885]

Alfredo intentionally got the gig, but trautman beeing so heartbroken he didnt; they also toured with him later on.

[@D-Fens_1632]

I loved Alfredo. He's key to the early sound. I actually prefer most Alfredo shows over the Grohl tours. Grohl took some things to a whole other level, but he also rearranged some of the material a bit, I don't like his take on Avon for example.

[@havoc170]

Alfredo and Trautman were the best qotsa drummers. Grohl was good as well. Castillo was way too fast and fucked up pretty much every gig, Theodore is great but fuck man, he has no character. He's like Grohl in Nirvana

[@dicejohnson8919]

Nick Oliveri was one of those two queens, without him Qotsa is JH and his very talented friends.

[@wolfeman323232]

akagw902 i live in wpg and was too young to know of them or what music really meant to me obviously being born in 95 but this band grew on me around the time like clockwork came out and i found a bootleg dvd of this show at a local record shop and bought it on the spot. one of my most cherished posessions... it takes me back to a time i was never truly present to experience yet i feel as though i was there and only sleeping.

[@rafaellopez984]

[@9999bigb]

Born to Hula is something they should really play live again

[@elliotthomas501]

guitar tone on How to Handle a Rope must be the greatest thing I've ever heard. Was he playing with that Ampeg VT-40 back then?

[@ssjcatdog0072]

He played through a Tube Works RT - 2100 and a Sunn Model T. Both of them when into huge Ampeg SVT bass cabinets. To my ears his tone sounds like it is using the Model T but he may be blending both.

[@guymann3711]

so monstrous i wanna kill myself for not discovering it earlier

[@JohnDaubSuperfan369]

That's the Univox Super Fuzz he kicks on for Rope, unmistakable tone. About ten years later you can see the very same pedal on his Vultures pedalboard. I absolutely adore the tones of the first album, the Tubeworks head sounds fucking ace, perfect power chord tone never surpassed since.

[@meexiko]

It's the same tone he had for all the other songs. There are other shows from the same time (february '99) and in some you can see that he was using two Ampeg v4b amps with Marshall cabs (they look like marshall cabs to me at least), one slant and one straight. I think the ampegs were totally cranked and he pushed them into 11 with a Boss sd-1 (classic boost settings, no drive). Pedalboard from that era was sd-1, tu-2, wah wah, volume pedal. He started using the VT-40 after Rated R came out and the tone changed a bit. I think he did it 'cause then there was Brendon too playing guitar, so maybe to have a more focused sound (10" speakers instead of 12"). The Tubeworks and Sunn Model T heads with bass cab (and two 4x12 guitar cabs too) were used only in the first euro tour (Bizzarre fest '98), then he started using the Ampeg V4b instead of the Sunn, then he abandoned the Tubeworks too. I was astonished to see those heads during the Villains Tour...

[@meexiko]

@@JohnDaubSuperfan369 Maybe he did use it in the studio, but not here. To me it doesn't sound like that, the audio it's distorted, pay attention to the people voices at the end of the show.
