Queens Of The Stone Age - I Sat by the Ocean (Fox Uninvited Guest)

[@robin3]

The vocal ranges and transitions are fucking incredible. Seriously, this guy is no joke. He is a true legend.

[@shanemansfield6537]

I was just talking to my Wife and lil' brother about Joshua. Absolutely one of the GREATS!!! one talented mofo! !!! and under rated as heck!!! thank God for players like Josh Homme.

[@ThiefOfNavarre]

They harmonise incredibly well. One of the things I like best about QotSA

[@brettershoalar9001]

Dig this, there is an awesome interview with him, sweating in a garage somewhere in L.A. and talking about his (very) early times in guitar playing. About style, tech and sound. Both guys make it a cool but hot conversation about music - no studio and no big cameras needed. He and his band is one of my idols in playing the guitar. They have such an outstanding sound.

[@evalegovic2142]

I love how at the beginning they're like "Meh, let's do Ocean, somebody will probably screw up but whatever", and then they do a performance with almost 4 million views that I listened on repeat for 3 consecutive days when I first discovered it and still get goosebumps on absolutely every part of it

[@RudeeOlivier]

QOTSA is just one of the last great band in rock history. Among the greatest. I would love your input on our last video from our first album. It got the attention of one of my heroes Joe Bouchard (ex bass player founding members of BÖC) who is following us on Soundcloud but returns from people who likes same music is always the best. If you have just 3 minutes to listen and a bit more to comment, that would mean the world to me. Keep rockin' kzbin.info/www/bejne/n2LJh4WNa99mpJY and Happy new year

[@wirtentier]

I just wanted to point out what an underated singer Josh is. That's all.

[@MaartenvanRossemLezingen]

He's a pure musical genius if he writes all these songs on his own. He also does complex singing and quite complex guitaring at the same time which is almost impossible to do.

[@wirtentier]

+Maarten van Rossem Lezingen I think QOTSA is one of the most innovative rock bands of the last 15 years at least. They never duplicate what they've done on their last record and always produce some really unique shit, and they've stayed relevant to this day. Not a lot of bands can say that.

[@MaartenvanRossemLezingen]

Jakob Winter It's not really they though, mostly he (Josh Homme)

[@Itzsfo0]

+Jakob Winter not alot of bands only a few (radiohead being one of them) - I enjoy ...Like Clockwork - but my favorite will always be Songs for the Deaf

[@erwinlottermann8641]

Not to forget that it all started with Kyuss - how sad I was when they quit, how amazed I was, when they reappeared as qotsa . I'm getting old, btw..

[@rickdb8480]

When you try to sing this song yourself & hit those notes, that's when you realise just how great Josh Homme is.

[@samblack5313]

Change it to a key that suits your voice?

I used this song to practice. Its great

It is very tough to hit those falsettos and then go back into a lower note. (For me, at least)

[@NyxInfernal]

Goddamn, his fucking voice shocks me every time. I always just assume an artist sounds different live, and they won't sing the song the same for various reasons, but fuck he does it just like the studio version and it's just beyond excellent. Awestruck is the only way to describe how I feel when I watch them do live shows on here. If I saw them in person, I'd likely stand there like a moron as my jaw hangs open from how fucking amazed I'd probably be.

Your friends, they all sympathize Maybe I don’t need them to Imagined I'd be your one and only Instead I'm the lonely one You, me and a lie Silence is closer We’re passing ships in the night There’s nowhere to run away Said: Boy, if you want love You’ll have to go and find it with someone new Do you know who you really are? Are you sure it’s really you? Lies are a funny thing They slip through your fingertips Because they never happened to you Time wounds all the heals As we fade out of view Imagined I'd be your one and only Instead I'm the lonely one You, me and a lie Silence is closer We’re passing ships in the night You, me and a lie Silence is closer We’re passing ships in the night Into the light, left with nowhere to hide Closer and closer We’re crashing ships in the night
