one of Joey's absolute best gigs... not pushing it too fast, just in the pocket and crushing his beats/tempos.... great set/gig from one of the best of their time at their peak before the drugs brought them back down to earth... QOTSA-FTW

[@smkxodnwbwkdns8369]

sounds too hard-hitting to me

[@smwrbd]

Any examples of the drugs bringing them down to earth?

[@howardkisgay3543]

@@smwrbdIf you watch their performance at this same festival in 2018 you can see Josh absolutely BLITZED on something, probably trippin balls or speed. But the crazy thing is he fuckin nails everything still. Talking to the crowd you can tell he’s completely out of it. But once he starts playing he doesn’t miss anything it’s really fuckin incredible.

[@sebastianhuenupil4805]

El culiao de Castillo era el alma de QOTSA junto a Natasha, ambos rompían esquemas y a la vez mantenían la banda en ese limbo entre el Stoner y el Hard-Rock(abilis). Ojo que cualquier concierto donde tocaron "The blood is love" pudo ser el mejor en el escenario, el tema maldito. Gracias por el video ctm.

[@user-cd7eu4wt9g]

And Belfort 2011. QOTSA knows how to rock the Eurockéennes.

And now that I'm back watching this vid and seeing these comments, maybe we'll be able to add Belfort 2018 to the list, too.

[@AN-mu2nt]

Yes!

[@philipreedwallace]

Agree

[@alitolley7126]

It's my little chloes bedtime, so I've saved this to watch/listen with her tomorrow. She really is QotSA's and Josh's truest and biggest fan because for her it's 100% about the music created as she has severe cerebral palsy and is also completely blind. She totally adores them and Josh's voice. I can't wait to watch/listen to this set with her tomorrow. Superb way to start our day. Thank You QotSA love Ali + Chloe xx

[@TheLordGoat]

Thats an amazing story Ali, thanks for sharing. She has amazing taste, have you let her check out Kyuss too?

[@alitolley7126]

She does indeed, she has superb taste like her mum :). We are currently watching/listening to QotSA from this years Reading Festival in surround sound. I don't really know anything by Kyuss, should I hang my head in shame. I know who they are, I just haven't listened to any. Chlöe is say beside me know rocking her head and clapping to Song for the dead. Gotta love her. If you look on my google+ profile you will see Chlöe rocking out to her favourite track. :)

[@TheLordGoat]

Thats very awesome :)...and you'd love Kyuss, its Joshs old band from the 90s

[@alitolley7126]

Yeah I know who Kyuss are-were. Just have never listened to them. I'm completely obsessed with QotSA thou. I burned an Acoustic set of QotSA's to disc for Chlöe to listen to whilst to goes to sleep. She adores them purely for their music and Josh's voice. If I ever get to see them play I will definitely be taking her with me. Just gotta hope they come to the south west of England (Cornwall) or somewhere close by.

[@user-hq8mx7mn3u]

+Ali Tolley They were at Reading, I think that's as close as they come to Cornwall? The environment may have been a little bit inaccessible though, but I'm sure you'd manage

[@furionn]

Quintessential qotsa! If this is your first time here, watch this whole set without skipping any track, you wont be disappointed! But who am I kidding, this is not your first time here…

[@iCreats]

You can't dislike me baby

[@acarlovonsexron1994]

Definitely my favorite tour. Many reasons, the diverse and long setlist, energy, heaviness, and game of musical chairs playing out onstage all contributed. And Eleven was in the band. Wish Mark could have stayed the whole tour.

[@HomoChomsky]

Gotta love a band inside a band. The Alain/Natasha team was truly something special. I wish Joey could've tempered his tempo-changing tendancies a bit more, though. Sometimes it contributed to the energy, otherwise it was off-putting.

[@acarlovonsexron1994]

Heyman Heyguys As a drummer myself, I actually didn't mind it. There were occasional songs where it was off putting, like Avon, but for the most part it felt more energetic than rushed. To me at least.

[@hom3r0824]

Carlo Von Sexron Could not agree more, but have a hard time explaining this to other people. The current tour comes close to perfection on a musical level but the Lullabies tour came close to perfection on a Queens level for me.

[@jeracaruna9]

I'm not trying to nitpick, but I think it's a little unfair to say Eleven was in the band, without Jack Irons. The man's so under-appreciated.

[@HomoChomsky]

[@c2c0rider]

Anyone else notice Joey Castillo is blowing bubbles with bubblegum whilst drumming? (First minute of "If Only" is where I noticed it) I'm not a musical guy by any means, so the concept of being able to drum as well/ energetically as he does, whilst blowing bubbles is mental!

I like so much this QOTSA formation. Alain Johannes and Natasha Schneider were the only capable of being part of the creation of athmospheric groove like early QOTSA years. They were at the same height of Josh Homme.

They need to play those more, for sure! "Someone's In The Wolf" is one of the great songs ever... "The Blood Is Love", as well. _Lullabies To Paralyze_ is a masterpiece! It's up there with Queens' best albums, and best albums of the 2000s.

[@Tocaraca]

their two best songs

[@G.G.___162]

Seriously, those are the two best songs in this show; which this is probably the best live performance I've ever seen Opening up with Wolf is the ultimate sickest thing any band has ever done for an opener

entire set is deadly

[@SkeeterMcBeater]

this was by far their best line up. everything feels right and sounds on point

[@detectivesargeantbrucerobe6046]

Nah, not even close.

[@RuffisInc]

I would argue that without Nick and Mark it's not as good, but to be fair, aside from Song for the Dead, none of the songs really suffer here without their original voices. Alain also did a great job replacing Nick and I guess he had the added bonus of not beating women.

[@JohnDaubSuperfan369]

Out of all the "mainstream" rock albums of the 00's, Lullabies to Paralyze and its follow-up Era Vulgaris are probably the only ones that truly stand on their own. Deaf spawned its own litany of imitators but the sonic themes and landscapes explored in songs like "In My Head", "Someone's in the Wolf" and "Turnin' on the Screw" etc. weren't replicated by others, even simpler power chord riffages such as "Little Sister" or "3's & 7's" sound like Queens and nothing but the Queens.

[@taram6152]

[@echambers1112]

Tightest QoTSA set ever? Sounds so good!

[@AndresinhoRM]

It is a strong candidate, for sure. If only Joey didn't rush the beat that often. But, well, that's what he does. And don't get me wrong, he is my favorite QOTSA drummer, but I think he needed to slow down a bit sometimes, depending on the song, obviously.

Not saying Dave Grohl is overrated, but this dude comes rolling like a train

[@beauner13]

Agreed. Look at Joey go! I think far too many people are willing to apply Dave's cultural cachet and all-around-good-guy personality as points towards his drumming capability. He's a heck of a performer and impressively multi-talented, and I envy his ease in front of a crowd, but, in an apples-to-apples drummer comparison, I think Dave usually loses.

Oh Jesus, you people w/your ‘slamming on Joey’ comments! I mean look, don’t cha think that just maybe that’s the way/tempo JH wanted him to play?! One thing’s for sure and that is that Homme had total control over how he wanted QOTSA’s music to sound night after night! Apparently he’s not as much a ‘control freak’ and dick about the littlest things here/there like someone say how Billy Corgan was (and possibly still today?) Idk about whether that still stands for him today like it did back in the Siamese Dream & MCIS days/tours era. But it’s defntly for surely known that JH does have control over how he wants the band to sound everytime they play. One of the reasons why he has such a great friend/relationship w/their sound man Hutch.”
