Queens of the Stone Age - Better Living Through Chemistry (live Rock Werchter 2011)

[@1Tsk1]

Without any doubt one of the best 'unknown' numbers they have. The 'jam' in the middle is simply mindblowing spectacular!

[@futuresuperhiro]

the breakdown when josh and mikey sing together is amazing. it deff gives me the chills

[@marycreaser6802]

Yes, it's wonderful!! I love Mike's voice too.

[@Teuchterdavie]

when the song breaks down and Josh and Mikey sing, man that gives me the fuckin chills... amazing. "Better Living..." is definitely one of their best songs. Queens of the Stone Age is the one band that I WOULDN'T go nuts in the crowd to. Whenever I've seen them live, I just stand there in awe and try to soak in as much of it as possible and burn it into my brain, to hopefully never forget it. I don't wanna miss a single part of it. This band is the greatest live band I've ever seen.

[@pilsjongen]

the best 8 minutes from Werchter Festival '11

[@ВенциславЛамбринов]

Absolutely love Qotsa! Josh, Troy,Nick,Joey- great man!❤️

[@nugbutt]

wow, I'm so impressed with their new bass player! I think he's really stepped up an found his place in a band of super musicians

[@goofballs6308]

we love mikey

[@bigjohnny12345678]

i think it all depends on the songs they play whether you mosh and dance like crazy, or stand there chilled in awe. any song off the 1st album and most songs off songs for the deaf you wanna be dancing around like crazy, but other songs like this one, in the fade etc you do just wanna stand there and take it all in

[@fonzybrookestone727]

One of the most underrated bands, ever! These guys are so good!!!!

[@JTGemini3]

+Fonzy Brookestone They're pretty well rated actually.

[@keithmurray472]

rated R I heard - waheeey

[@Jimmmco]

Not underrated at al 🤣

[@bono185]

i was there, this was a great performance, i feel like i am watching a historic moment in woodstock

[@f0rtynuggets84]

@brody789 Watching Qotsa is never boring.

[@Levente20]

this is just out of this world. QOTSA = DEFINING ROCK

[@tylerking4693]

Props to whoever mixed this

[@PrawdaTV]

that middle jam was absolutely amazing!

[@paulawilliams3712]

💕💕 love love Josh

[@petersiguencia1406]

Asi es como quiero vivir la maldita vida

[@fernandohandal4576]

Queens of the Stone Age gods of stoner!!

[@crookedqueen5439]

Flawless 🖤

[@DarkAngelEU]

it was the best :) hope to see them back soon

[@knetterwauz010]

Josh seems to have a real good time.

[@Bachishaman]

+knetterwauz010 He really is fucking amazing live.

[@knetterwauz010]

Bachishaman I know... I was there... :D Have seen them more then 8 times now and still loving them more and more

[@scruffybasterd2209]

knetterwauz010 Yeah, I noticed the half empty bottle of vodka by his pedal board lol

[@anybody2501]

Killer performance 🤘🏼

[@Bia.56.]

4:50 I DIED

[@kritverbeek]

freakin' awesome!

[@CCDaDon15]

Returning to this after a few years of lsitening to Jon Theodore era live performances and the studio version really gives me some perspective that while Joey was special I think he left at the right time. The guitar solo parts of this song are missing so much without anything unique added. For such an otherwise tight band to start feeling rushed and huried during parts of some songs takes me out of the experience at times. But songs like Battery Acid and Misfit Love and whatnot are also songs that feel like they're missing something played by someone other than Joey. It's the way of life I suppose

[@thatsnotmebear5684]

I'm not sure the crowd is understanding what perfection they are witnessing

[@f0rtynuggets84]

@pouncelciot That's not a Qotsa logo, that's an 'Ampeg' logo. A famous brand wich produces bass amplifiers.

[@Look0Alive]

@Brody789 - UK Audiences are always rocking!

[@paulawilliams3712]

💕

[@mramalhadas]

Portugal next year plz.

[@dhembrough]

oh and by the way, qotsa played fairly early in the day at Werchter compared to Glasto - maybe this connection you mention was related to intoxication of whatever floated the audiences boat that day.

[@Dacijo]

that is one sexy guitar

[@dhembrough]

@brody789 Personally, I'm English and was at Werchter only... look at it from the musicians perspective, QOTSA had approx 76,000 people in front of them that day, if that doesn't give them a buzz and make them wanna entertain they're probably dead inside. Comparing concerts is never a good thing, we all have good and bad days - I'll remember that day for all the positives, no point comparing it to anything else -it was Werchter 2011.

[@SpaceCadet1]

@brody789 I've always considered Qotsa one of those eloquently low-key bands that lets the music speak for itself, and that's what the crowd should be "connecting" with. I've never got the people who think that the only way to appreciate the band live is to go one way or the other berserk in the crowd. So just because everyone isn't crowd-surfing at 4:14 automatically means they are bored at the performance? And what's this about the band looking bored, not enough smiling for your liking? :D

[@nunosoar]

@brody789 bring them to Portugal and we will teach everyone else :P

[@duvels86]

@Teuchterdavie Exactly my way of experiencing their shows as well. Go and bash into each other at some punk show or something...

[@TheShwanzie]

@brody789 acctually you are tottally right. They played way to early on the evening. it started 8.30 They should 've been the headliner for that night but instead they got Linkin park after QOTSA .OMFG! Werchter is all about money and its not the festival anymore it was. I wish i was in glastonbury to see them the audience was way more enthousiast. Still i like the video and like every version of there songs.

[@leodaegitania]

4:06 that's what gods drink.

[@Kurdtttt]

@brody789 Somtimes people don't shout or jump or headbang, because they want to hear music better?

[@jakubzmijzielina]

@brody789 it is not boring at all

[@SweetCrookedQueen]

@Teuchterdavie I know what you mean, but I've got the sensation that they aren't enjoying... Whatever... They are so lucky to be there

[@f0rtynuggets84]

@brody789 But were you at both festivals ? I think only then you can compare the audience. Maybe you are right. I was there and I think they were really conected with the audience. Atleast that was what I felt.

[@rovyerOnTube]

6:30 Tom Morello was there!

[@pouncelciot]

Can somebody tell me how can i find that qotsa logo that appears on the top of an amp at minute 2:08?? Thanks

[@Lejnicke]

I wanted to see this, but Eels won the contest

[@jossievossie]

Stil wonder what the JFK background during the concert had to do with their gig ? Anyone can help?

[@TheChickenbowl]

What's Josh doing in the crowd at 7:52

[@tyshpix]

There is one @ 1:53.

[@evabakker]

@brody789 Bored cause you watched the audience instead of the band? Something's not right there honey.

[@MrThepainters]

@F0rtyNuggets you're so fucking right!!

[@Peteepop]

@evabakker err when did I say that, honey?

[@evabakker]

Heart rate: not normal.

[@goodhitsofthesummer]

@pouncelciot you should get a blue pill

[@nickatkins6934]

Fucking amazing! Who the fuck down voted this 🖕🏼

[@Peteepop]

Makes a change for the UK audience (i.e. Glasto 2011) to be a LOT more rocking than the rest of Europe. Bored watching this.

[@goodhitsofthesummer]

@rovyerOnTube i was joking too

[@Elke1980]

I loved hearing some non-festival songs in the set list, but the lukewarm reaction of the crowd was really annoying. It's not because you can't sing it along that you have to start talking all over it.

[@goodhitsofthesummer]

@rovyerOnTube no

[@ExclaimedMusic]

The crowd seems dead at the beginning, but then they start to get it after the jam.

[@Peteepop]

Right let's get this straight as people are misinterpreting what I originally stated. With the Glastonbury performance , both the band and the audience connected and Josh was in fine spirits. I don't know why people seem to think I am referring to moshing/head banging, I just get the feeling that the band are going through the motions on this performance and the audience can probably tell. That's why I found this particular performance boring to watch. Sorry to have a different opinion

[@SweetCrookedQueen]

Oh my god the audience is quiet... Well, that's so lame. It's an amazing song!

[@Skinny2210]

I didn't come here to hear the audience!!

[@rocknrollboise]

Super tight, but I gotta say I'm not a huge fan of the keys how they're used here... #SoberJoeyNdrunkJosh

[@Peteepop]

@matenizer Hahaha, come back and say something remotely interesting without twisting what I have said in a couple of years when you have grown up a little. Douchebag? Lol. Just because I didn't particularly like a QOTSA performance shown on YT, it doesn't mean I am insulting anyone. Ciao bella x

[@thstguy8023]

You can take the Josh outta Kyuss...

[@SpaceCadet1]

@brody789 Shows how much you actually give a shit about the music, I'd personally go apeshit even if Qotsa played this classic tune in a fucking kitchen closet to a zero audience.

[@QOTSARadio]

Bored reading your comment.

[@Peteepop]

@F0rtyNuggets Bored of the lack of enthusiasm from the audience, and compared to Glasto, Josh appears to be bored too. Just sayin

[@Peteepop]

@SpaceCadet1 I don't give a shit about the music? I recently saw them at Glasto and also Bournemouth (as well as countless times over the last 8 years). If I didn't give a shit about the music I wouldn't have gone to see them would I? They look piss bored at this festival and don't appear to connect with the audience who also look bored. That is all

[@andrewmaxfield5873]

The new bass player ...ehhhh bit of a tool ... LA guy ... right place, right time - just throw your hair back one more time dude
