Queens of the Stone Age - If Only [Live at Conan O'Brien] 1080 HD

[@wahiwoodworks3324]

Imagine writing a song as cool as this and then having to walk around like you’re a normal person.

[@SwissCheez23]

Given it's at least his millionth cool song, you'd be used to it. And you'd be the s#!t so it'd be more of a strut.

Imagine being in both Kyuss and QOTSA and then having to act like you're not the coolest person in the room.

@@akwilson1676 and EODM, Them Crooked Vultures, The Dessert Sessions plus Iggy Pop. Enough said

[@APAL880]

I read on the wikipedia of the first record some snobby critic saying that this riff is lifted from The Stooges' I Wanna Be Your Dog. I hear it, but it seems to be a stretch.

[@znet9452]

i’ve had this riff stuck in my head for 3 weeks straight

[@simongill4715]

It’s taken from another song, by the stooges, I wanna be your dog

[@johnlafave6053]

And you payed it forward 😊 thanks

[@NicoleKrawczyk]

I had the same problem a while ago :D

[@MattLemonsackMusic]

@@simongill4715 Josh Homme has borrowed quite a few things I’ve noticed, but idk about this one. There’s a little more going on in this song, the stooges song is just power chords. Both just follow a common descending progression Unless Josh straight up said it was inspired by that one lol

[@XtremeKillah101]

I love this riff. First thing I play on my guitar

[@DMKelly20]

There is such an undeniable groove in this song and I love every second of it.

[@lubridermjones8289]

Queens of the Stone Age is my favorite band of all time.

[@aaronflanagan7105]

I love how you can here Conan yelling "yea" after JH mutes at the end

[@MatthiasProspero]

Sure was nice of Conan to let his little brother bring his band on the show.

[@potluck712]

😂 do you know how big Josh Homme is compared to Conan?! Dude is huge. That’s funny though lol

[@TachiKawaHafu]

“ If Only” vs “ I Sat by the Ocean? “ I’d have to pic the latter. But yeah, this is my favorite band.

Josh Homme and Conan O'Brien. Peers in their ginger giantism.

Ginger Giantism. Sounds like a solid side-project

[@misokorosec1538]

both literally and figuratively

[@marcdavis4509]

My buddy is a redhead and he hates it because when another redhead sees him they have make an effort to talk him and all they’re going to talk about what it’s like to be a ginger.

[@GR-ir2bu]

Conan making an effort to shake everyone’s hands in the band, always a pro.

[@aliquadri7077]

ikr i noticed it too, he missed the rhythm section but made it a point to get to them

[@dinothegonzo]

Fuck, Dean Fertita adding keys in the chorus gave this song a new dimension. Awesome!

[@Iederhas]

They ...were always there.

[@dinothegonzo]

DominikLederhas Pretty sure the chorus chords Dean plays weren't there. The keyboards on the original song are only in the verse.

[@bakerinthehouse5346]

He has always been underrated in their band. Keyboards add so much depth to a song if they're played right..

[@jestar7775]

That ending guitar solo rules so hard.

[@DrBanzaiPhd]

I think it's a baritone guitar

Joey Castillo is without a doubt my favorite QotSA drummer

No Homme.

Same lol

[@raiden492]

Probably the best he's ever played this solo live. Mix is fantastic which is rare for these shows

[@MatthiasProspero]

You can hear Conan go "YEAHH!" at the 03:40 mark. Dude is a legit fan. No phony.

[@squidward9747]

Matthew Prosser yeah dude Conan likes this type of music. I mean look at how many bands he has had on his show

[@darlenes.6487]

Learned about this song when the dvd Wrong Turn came out and liked Queens of the Stone Age ever since

[@RobC384]

Really wish they’d play this one now, would fit really well after something like Negative Space

[@ansoul2470]

Josh’s tone is just so fucking perfect holy shit

[@F44KER]

Josh Homme is the definition of BADASS.

[@vonhausausallein]

Listened to „If only@ about 30 times in a row today. Sometimes even well known songs hit you different. Incredible.

[@lionmachine2337]

Love this version . Joey on drums smashing it and them keys !

[@EYEROCCO]

Such a great band. They’re perfect

[@hernanpastor2947]

This song is like feeling that love really is a connection that can last forever, even in the lowest days that exists in a relationship. Thank you QOTSA for this masterpiece.

[@MiyuMedia]

How to be classy, suave, sassy, slick dancer and awesome guitar player at the same time? Just ask Troy Van Leeuwen

[@RuloRevueltas]

***** ;)

[@SamuelLJacksonsFish]

+MiyuGoreLivingDead I think he tries too hard to dress like a badass and doesn't quite pull it off, honestly. Still a good guitarist though.

[@jamiebigham9420]

Fancy seeing you here Miyu 😂😂😂

[@MiyuMedia]

@big boondock i'm a fan of Failure too 😉🎉

[@KennyPatton79]

One of my favorite classics by Queens!

[@colefisher4010]

One thing that goes overlooked in this song is the lyrics. So simple and poetic.

[@lethrneck4]

greatest rock band of this generation..and its not even close

[@bigbullsfan1]

Fucking awesome performance... How are they not in the rock n roll HoF...

[@yukimaruzam]

25 years they need a few more but yep they will be there. 25 years from a platinum

They still have more tô give They will be

[@TabethaAurochs]

​@@DaveSstation I mean, if "In Times New Roman..." does not prove you were correct and then some, then nothing will. It's so great, it may be my favorite. Although I swore off commitment as my New Year's resolution...

[@mrederbass]

Because the HOF has nothing to do with Rock and Roll.

[@therevenge27]

Troy's solo fucking slays!!!

[@MrLawrencecorn]

erik wheeldon meh

[@jackshittle]

I like how it starts with just Josh's guitar, then the drums, then drums, then keyboards, then vox.

[@jj5022]

this grainy cocked wah sound is my favorite josh homme solo tone from lullabies to era time period. I definitely know toggling an EQ pedal is part of the secret recipe now

[@magger254]

If Only, Regular John, How to Handle a Rope: Best songs ever!

[@benhenschel145]

Slash Arbiter The Bronze is probably my favorite Queens song. That tone. Sexicola comes close, though.

[@temporarymomentary]

Nice crisp sound. I love it to.

[@SeanBuchert]

you can always tell when Conan enjoys the music guest. A lot more enthusiastic.

[@blackvinylbr5650]

01:53 ... Não sei se repararam mas o Josh Homme usou os 2 pés de uma só vez ... PQP... e ainda continuou à usar as mãos para manter o Riff... Muito Foda...

Wow, a cameraman who knows to focus on the guitarists when theyre taking a solo. Hire this dude for every live show, ever

[@LAZERBEAMBAND]

I remember watching this and thinking man Troy blew the solo so hard!

[@zaz214]

Everyone complementing him on this performance is delusional. This was a perfect performance, up until his solo. Not that its bad, just waaaay off mark.

[@Finding_my_own_way]

If only... I could catch "The End Is Nero" tour in America...❤

Josh Homme has been my idol for 20+ years after the song Infinity on the Heavy Metal 2000 soundtrack.

[@BellatrixTesla]

I don't know about you guys but I think Josh knows what he's doing... I'm sure he has good bassists lined up wanting to be in his band and there's probably a reason Mikey has been around this long.

[@quipher]

Timeless

[@goodvibesallround]

I bought this album on vinyl last week.....unreal....

[@anyday82]

he gets that raunchy tone out of a semihollow, incredible

[@jv2781]

Semi hollow, ampeg v4/vt22, parametric eq and youre kosher

[@onlyhappyband]

Tone is 50% amp/pedals 45% pickups 5% build/materials in a guitar ( in my opinion/experience)

[@darryllzwiers7257]

Anything is possible when you detune enough. I used to take a standard Washburn steel string to music parties and they'd all compliment its tone. It's cos it would be tuned standard down a step. Always had a capo. Even capo'd up to standard it had a better tone.

[@engelbertus1406]

I own and play a Maton BB1200 like that - and the fingerboard is just something else and nothing like I’ve ever played, very versatile almost acoustic like playing style. I had to replace the stock pickups for some better ones, but ever since it sounds amazing and versatile - you can squeeze any tone out of it, lots of sustain.

[@danielley9228]
