Ohshit 😮 is that loud ferigno on drums

[@DanJanTube]

I just realized this band is now eligible for induction into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame, for which they are indubitably overqualified.

[@EricJh21690]

Should be first ballot for sure

[@babyshaker8932]

Still 3 sexual assault charges shy from qualification I'm afraid. There is a clause if your wife is younger than your grandchildren which will allow automatic entry so there is still time.

[@xxxserchxxx]

Not in Barcelona./Spain..a lot of years, lots of countries, lot of concerts...and i can´t remember last time they played it ...f***ng Hel!!....hope that he never stops with Go with the flow...f***ng Hel!!

[@oxiocity765]

I just saw them a month or so ago in Seattle and they opened with it. The lighting on it was genuinely MINDBLOWING. Somehow the stage behind them was pitch black and the purple and orange lights made them look ethereal. Of course I’ve always loved the song and it was super badass. Ended with Song For the Dead too, fucking best show I’ve ever seen.

[@raineyjon]

I noticed this when they opened with this song the other night in Irving. It was such a cool effect, out of nowhere it was like this 3D thing, we all looked at eachother like did you see that? It was just those few times during the bridge then they didn’t do it again the entire show.

[@Jeff.mp3]

Gotta be the best opening song ever

[@omgitzrender]

They opened with Regular John in Houston for us! It was definitely a crazy night lol

[@Mndudecollects]

Definitely my favorite era of this band. Raw desert power. The slide guitar was a nice touch

[@PlatinumGirth]

lol. Nice touch on that there slide brah.

[@aymericdalmas6912]

For sure qotsa/rated F/songs for the their best 3 albums especially the first one 🤩🤩🤩

This bass player is beast

[@ryanbenedetti-kp2yx]

Nick Oliveri was always my favorite of the QOTSA Bass players, that man wrote some amazing bass riffs and was always great on the back up vox or screams. You Can't Quit Me Baby is one of the rawest basslines of all time. Just gets you groovin, and his energy was always great.

[@actionjackson5535]

GIVE THE MULE WHAT IT WANTS

[@grey5963]

​​@@ryanbenedetti-kp2yxI think all the bass on the self titled was written by Josh and later Nick joined for rated R I thought? That's why the teenage hand model ends with the phone call of Nick joining the band

[@Mrpsblobsoflowendmung]

Nick was a monster back then. amazing

[@dave-o9522]

I saw them play the Corner Hotel in Richmond on this tour for $42. I was queueing for the toilet when the bassline for Tension Head started and ran back, so awesome. Rated R was a great album, and yet they've continued to evolve, not to mention Desert Sessions and Them Crooked Vultures stuff. We've been blessed to be onboard the Josh Homme voyage of music.

[@danielwitham1791]

You too? What an intimate show and great time to be alive!

[@nufcfan123]

Coooking in 40c on xtc was the norm at bid day out. Good times.

[@billybutcher4995]

All these old performances rlly demonstrate how important Nick Oliveri was to this band.

[@6stringshugues]

⚡⚡

[@jimihendrixx11]

Yeah he’s a great musician, and he really fit qotsa well with his punk style of playing and vocals. He’s more than just bass player but was the best with qotsa😊

[@altered_statuses]

I was there! Awesome set early in the afternoon, coming on after Coldplay! Most of the pit are probably old Kyuss fans, who were QOTSA’s main Australian fan base back in those days.

[@MrRatclima]

Gene Trautmann... hell yeah.

[@raineyjon]

I was at that show too, couldn’t remember who was on the drums though, was it this guy? I wish there was footage of that show somewhere.

[@dustingrant6388]

Gene Trautmann and Alfredo Hernández don't get enough cred in my opinion. They laid a lot of the bricks that the giants would later tred. Not disrespecting those that followed Gene and Al or anything, Grohl, Castillo and Theodore (ohhhh Theodore..you sweet AK47 of rhythm you), however just saying, it would all be a weeee bit different had it not been for Gene n AlI reckon. I dunno, maybe I'm wrong, maybe I'm right and maybe I'm wrong about being left.

[@lepoisson]

You're not wrong at all. People forget that that's Gene playing on Go With the Flow. He fleshed out Al's grooves and created a pocket that Grohl fit perfectly into. I hear a lot of Gene in Joey C's playing as well.

[@dustingrant6388]

@@lepoisson Hell ya, as do I. Everyone has their own style, but I would say that Josh leans to a certain "brand" of drummer. I'd be curious to know what came first. The drummer playing their way to Josh demo's back in the day or Josh demo's influencing how the drums due to Josh being a drummer himself. Often wonder how fleshed out the early works of Queens were..

[@monicaquimpergomez7319]

El 2001 y los bateristas lo maximo ❤

[@timhall3575]

Saw them a bunch of time late 90s / early 00s - this line up, the earlier incarnation with Alfredo on drums... then with Grohl etc on Songs For the Deaf - for those first x 3 albums they were untouchable live... no one came close.. it must have been embarassing to have been in other bands at this time... no one could touch them... the bar was raised.

I was stoked they played so many records from Rated R at the forum last night. I wish Nick O did a guest spot when they played some of the songs though. Always love that.

[@brandocalrissian3294]

Josh and Nick were great together when they were.

[@ericsanger4408]

This was the best 'spirit' of the band but clearly, Josh has no tolerance for abusive men. Now look at him. Elvis 2.0 and rock n' roll will die with him.
