[@NightwalkReal]

Thanks for letting me know their old bassist did the screaming guys!

[@fruitlessworship]

Also, Mark Lanegan (Screaming Trees) is doing lead vox on Song For The Dead, as well as God Is In The Radio! EDIT: and Hanging Tree how could I forget!

[@smoore3896]

Nightwalk yo you were at Carolina rebellion? Me too! Their full gig was killer, I was towards the very front and then I was at the very back for Muse.

[@The.Breakfast.Burrito]

+Nightwalk This is one of the positive benefits of being part of this generation. You can ask thousands of people for their opinion of what their definition of good music is exactly, thus expediting the process of discovery. Back in my day (yes, I'm an old man) we went to the record store, and discuss "good" music but from a much, MUCH more limited scope. In short: I like what you're doing here. Don't let anyone tell you you're too young (or old) to experience new things, and keep on keeping on! Your approach is, by a wide margin, the best method to get to the core of your own musical preferences and understanding. I'm kind of jealous, in a way...

[@luckylayne]

Fruitless Worship fun fact, Hanging Tree was written by Alain Johannes

[@rollingon5566]

Nightwalk no problem dude

[@citizenerased174]

This whole album was inspired by Josh and how he felt traveling through the desert only being able to listen to the radio which played the same songs over and over. Hence all the radio style commercials and DJ's in between songs. I listened to this whole album multiple times driving through the desert and I gotta say it's an amazing experience. And Josh doesnt do the screaming, that is Nick, their former bassist.

[@NightwalkReal]

Ahhh, okay that makes a lot more sense now, thanks! Such a cool idea.

[@surike]

Nightwalk Nick Oliveri

[@sonord2074]

@@surike to elaborate on your point, the concept was Nick's idea

[@theresabreegle761]

God is in the radio

[@Faxy95]

KLON radio haha "we play the songs that sound more like everyone else than anyone else"

[@psychichorse]

"The Real Song For the Deaf" can only be accessed if you back up the CD PAST the beginning, most people only hear it starting at Millionaire

[@miscellaneousmedia3753]

it's hard to find a cd/tape player that will actually let you rewind past the beginning of the tape into the "negative" timing of the album, it's easier to listen by finding it on youtube honestly

[@SpinFreak221]

God dammit I hope you do Like Clockwork as well. What a behemoth that album is.

[@themawsjawz_9491]

Ricky Arguably their best work.

[@thatsmetalasfuck2200]

Ricky hello brother

[@loganbrace6463]

My favorite QOTSA album. I Appear Missing is, in my opinion, the best song they’ve ever written.

[@MrSnuffian]

I’d say as a whole, Like Clockwork is their best

[@elsewho]

Logan Brace, probably my favourite song as well, which is a hard thing to decide. The lyrics for I appear missing are unreal.

[@luckylayne]

I don’t know if you know this but Nick Oliveri is doing vocals on Millionare, not Josh.

[@eastfieldfilms8593]

Jayson Plays Drums and Six Shooter too

[@nikki-lx3yf]

he also sings cleanly on Gonna Leave You and Another Love Song. also, Mark Lanegan (perhaps best known as vocalist for Screaming Trees) sings on Song for the Dead, Hangin' Tree, God Is in the Radio, and part of Song for the Deaf.

[@staindman00]

YES !

[@joaosilva-dr7yp]

He also beat the shit out of his wife and got kicked out of the band

[@brockharbolt9480]

He also does the vocals on another love song and do it again

[@Krtee]

Dave Grohl plays drums on SFTD

[@NightwalkReal]

The whole world makes sense now. I could tell something was too good about the drums haha

[@AlbertoMartinez-xg5sd]

Don’t know if the OP meant SFTD as the song, or the album. Just to clarify, Grohl recorded all of the drums on the album.

[@SenorGuina]

It's funny because their two best albums have Dave Grohl on the drums

[@AlbertoMartinez-xg5sd]

Harsh, but true.

[@ulisesmanzo2558]

Clerisvaldo Nogueira which other album was he on?

[@LoLinForU]

I appear missing from Like Clockwork... will blow your mind. Trust me.

[@huntermacdonald6431]

That was my coworkers first intro to western rock, followed by foxey lady and he loved it.

[@JJ_-fp9sj]

Definitely

[@NightwalkReal]

Really hope it doesn't get taken down for copyright. If it does I'll try to edit it down again.

[@TiempoNegro]

In this album you get the screams of Nick Oliveri, the rough voice from Mark Lanegan, THE AMAZING drumming of Dave Grohl. You literally could not ask for more.

[@mynameismattfirered9276]

dave grohl didn't write the drums part, he just played it so he didn't really add much. he did live, but the studio was more empty

[@DrQuatsch]

The best lineup QOTSA ever had. Three different vocalists makes the whole album great to listen to, and then Dave Grohl on drums. It's a masterpiece, yet it's not my favourite album. That would be Rated R, even though I wouldn't describe that album as a masterpiece.

[@3allz]

This album doesnt get the credit is desevres. Its up there as the top 3 albums of the 00's imo. Every song is a banger!

[@godnotavailable2094]

I'm glad you love Millionaire. It's my favorite QOTSA song, tied with "In The Fade" from the Rated R album. EDIT: Holy shit! I was featured! 5:34

[@NightwalkReal]

You famous! :D

[@ryantimmins5567]

Rated R is a great album. Qotsa is one of my fav bands

[@NegoClau]

Tiny Tim both this and Rated R are concept albums... SFTD is like a road trip to Hell and back, and you can quite tell by the radio station changes between the songs... And R is like a night out of an addict craving for cocaine, sex and a crazy party... and it ends with "Hangover, the musical" (I Think I Lost My Headache)

[@huntermacdonald6431]

Claurio Silva Neves that’s badass I didn’t know that.

[@brockharbolt9480]

@@NegoClau I didn't realize that rated r was also a concept album

[@jorgeortega6806]

@@brockharbolt9480 I believe Era Vulgaris and Like Clockwork are also concept albums

[@ataco1770]

Have you heard of The Mars Volta? Their album De-loused In The Comatorium is awesome!

[@craigw7339]

Yes that one. Everyone should listen to that one. Then weep if you'll never see them live.

[@shellyrowland5360]

Agreed

[@GamingCove]

It's funny that you mention De-loused in the comments of this video. De-loused and Songs for the Deaf have to be my personal top 2 albums of all time.

[@marciocouto3543]

My favourite one is "This apparatus must be unearthed".

[@mugogrog]

That band would blow this guy's mind for real :)

[@silverfortytwo9506]

"The Real Song for the Deaf" I think was supposed to be the end of Millionaire, played backwards and reduced in pitch or something. The track isn't available on its own on Spotify in the UK. It was an Easter egg track.

[@decepcionista7303]

10:38 Well, they had Dave Grohl on drums.

[@charlieobrien7023]

The vocals on the album are shared between josh, nick the former bassist (millionaire, six shooter) and mark lanegan of the screaming trees (song for the dead, hanging tree)

[@jckon]

Also Mark Lanegan provided vocals for Another Love Song

[@GeneralBlade120]

Just something to note: You think I ain't worth a dollar was sung by Nick Oliveri, the then bassist, not by Josh Homme

[@BUBBLE2LOLLIEPOP]

And I believe "you say i ain't worth a dollar but i feel like a millionaire" was sung by Mark Lanegan, another great musician. Although someone correct me if I'm wrong.

[@stulad]

Sophie Leggatt you are totally wrong, it’s Nick

[@magnusguitar6241]

Actually Sophie is correct but that is the Dessert Sessions version which led to this version. And yes, Nick sung the Queen's version so you're actually both correct :)

[@stulad]

Matthew Cauley the Desert Sessions version was sung by Mario Lalli

[@magnusguitar6241]

Stuart Reid You are totally right. It's been a while and I confused this song with another Lanegan performance. Hanging Tree was the only Lanegan track on SftD if I even remember that correctly.

[@petercoogan1379]

This is the first time I've seen a Queens reaction on KZbin...Noice

[@drewesrock9414]

Song for the Dead is my favorite one by them. It’s so menacing!

[@pvksl]

This one's probably my favourite QOTSA album, excited for part 2.

[@archiethornton2812]

Ooooohh SHHIT!!! Nightwalk reacts to my favourite band, hell yeeeess!!!!!

[@zawarchaudry4886]

Listen to song for the dead like 4 times and it'll be your fav song off the album

[@nerdbird576]

Yasss Hangin Tree is so underrated

[@SebastianGonzalez-cf1jl]

my favorite song off SFTD

[@YoYes17]

This album is the foundation of rock in the 2000's, you made the right pick listening to this one. It took the band 10 years to reach anywhere near these heights and to have this impact again on future artists. Josh Homme is the old-man in the coffee shop talking to the younger folks how to do it and gosh if Queens wasn't playing for radio space against lumps like Smash Mouth and Nickelback there would be a real argument that they were the Zepplin of our time instead of the Joy Division or Talking Heads. Nice vid friend, I'm glad you like this oldy and gem

[@humpbackwhale8918]

It's already IN MY HEAD! BA DUM TISS

[@fat69]

I need your full reaction on that drum intro on Song for the Dead!!!

[@jaakko410]

Fat i know right!

[@WasabiButthole]

the reason you "hadn't heard him sing like that" on the first song is because it's a different singer. olivieri sings on a bunch of the songs on this album.

[@toddjust5179]

This is one of those albums that I can put on and not touch all the way through...except for maybe turning up the volume! Absolute masterpiece of pure raw rock genius!

[@katerinavlahovic6045]

This made me so happy! They're one of my favourite bands and it's really fun to watch how you get into it. Would love to see you react to Like Clockwork as well.

[@ataco1770]

Aaah why did you stop right before Go With The Flow? It's my favorite song on the album and the transition from Hanging Tree to Go With The Flow is awesome! Anyways I'm glad you're enjoying the album 😁

[@surike]

A Taco yeah thats one of my favourite songs by QOTSA

[@the_king_of_pirates9150]

I love the Hanging Tree

[@shellyrowland5360]

Didn't expect you to be here but yeah go with the flow is an amazing song

[@senjikenkryomasa2361]

The screamer might nick oliverie the bassist at the time

[@itdobelikedat2525]

So glad you took a listen

[@incomploruto6006]

You should hear Nonagon Infinity by King Gizzard & The Lizard Wizard.

[@miscellaneousmedia3753]

that is a phenomenal album, just the way it wraps around infinitely, and how everything sounds cohesive and gnarly, my favorite track off that is People-Vultures for sure

[@malcolmforsythe4329]

I LOVE that album.

[@jameshannan5205]

As a muse fan, you will absolutely love Like Clockwork (maybe the most of all their albums). Queens is the only other band besides muse that has impacted my life to such a great degree. Muse is still #1 though :)

[@shaneshahnanigans7279]

Yep another one of my favorite albums of all time! I'm watching your reaction right now. I get such a kick out watching your reactions to these albums.

[@jckon]

First It Giveth was actually released as a single, as was Go With The Flow

[@NegoClau]

In "Millionaire" who sings is actually former bass player, Nick Oliveri... check his band, Mondo Generator (named after a song by Kyuss that he also sings)...

[@tomost3891]

I`d love to see you listing to King Gizzard and the Lizard Wizard. The Band is as amazing as there name. Nonegon Infinity is the goto Album

[@MrSnuffian]

Tom Ost id say people should start with In Your Mind Fuzz > Nonagon > Quarters > Paper Mache > Murder of universe

[@jumhed994]

'No One Knows' is basically a German oompah riff

[@paedu]

Hey man! You really remind me of myself when I was your age! Really enjoy the reaction. Keep it up!

[@NightwalkReal]

Thanks for the support Timothy!

[@scorchingcliffs820]

Was waiting for you to notice the 5/4 time signature in Hanging Tree ;_;

[@saintpansy]

I dig this album so much, when i listen to it late at night it makes me feel like reality is suddenly being altered. Also Aayyyyyy I CAN’t wait for part 2!!! I always enjoy these reactions so much!!!

[@NightwalkReal]

And I enjoy your support!

[@probablyelvyorsomething9383]

To be honest any QotSA would have been enough, they are one of the few bands to have never released a bad album. Admittedly this is just my opinion, but Josh Homme really knows what he's doing, and the other collaborating musicians are applied to the best effect in the Queens discography. Glad you got around to listening to them, as I reckon everyone should

[@domclarke8182]

I love that you’ve reacted to this album. QOTSA are by and away my favourite band and this album is a masterpiece.

[@redlinenissan372]

Their albums really grow on you once you start getting into it

[@TheFckYeah]

It would be interesting to see your reaction to the self titled album and Rated R before you move on to Like Clockwork..

[@FattyLumpOfPoo]

Its funny how "no one knows" is the one song everybody knows

[@locustkllr]

Album is fantastic. First it Giveth should've been a single!

[@johnmirolho]

locustkllr it was a single. I think it was the last one. It has a video of live footages using the studio version.

[@johnnyscifi]

Pedro H. Avelar it only had two singles. Go with the flow, and no one knows... I think millionaire, and gonna leave you shouldve been singles

[@Brendyn4222]

Not sure if anyone’s mentioned this or not but the first track Real Song For The Deaf is actually a hidden song on the track. You needed a CD player that allowed you to rewind passed the first song, so it’s technically Track 0.

[@Brendyn4222]

Another fact! Song for the Dead’s intro and outro are inspired by Black Flag’s - Slip it In. Black Flag was Dave Grohls (drummers) influence through high school.

[@rpsproject5349]

Glad you like the album, it is one of my favorites. I have a delux version with extra songs so it's even longer. Dave Grohl does the drumming on this album & Mark Lanegan from Screaming Trees has done quite some work on this album, his voice is dark and heavy take a listen to his solo stuff. Part 2 should be even better.

[@surike]

Mark Lanegan sung Song for the Dead

[@guitarmaniac004]

no, that was Nick Oliveri, not Mark

[@111kathryn111]

No, he's right, both Song For The Dead and Hanging Tree are Lanegan on lead vocals, look up the live version of Song For The Dead featuring Grohl on drums.

[@guitarmaniac004]

ohhh sorry, I thought he meant the opening song.

[@ancientskies8408]

Nightwalk dude man you should check out Josh’s older band Kyuss and their album “Blues of the Red Sun” I cant wait to see your reaction to 50 Million Year Trip!

[@karolpominski]

Damn I was so satified as you reacted to every single switch up in these songs, not glad you aren't a big fan of first it giveth but it's ok, good thing to remember is this is desert rock and stoner rock genre and getting to feel vibes will help you be inside the world they create on this album

[@NightwalkReal]

Right, it might just be because I'm not used to the style. I definitely didn't dislike it, it was just my least favorite so far.

[@MistahFunkyMonkeh]

If you ever can, see them live. They are so amazing live and you’ll live the songs even more

[@loganrandall780]

I love that bit in Song for the dead when it pauses and you hear Dave Grohl yell before the ending

[@chief45kc2572]

Don't know if anyone has mentioned, but Dave Grohl is the drummer on this album. Also Mark Lanegan from Screaming Trees on vocals for a couple of tunes. Hanging Tree is one of them.

[@111kathryn111]

Jayhawk 2572 Its worth noting that Hanging Tree was written by Alain Johannes who filled the bass spot on the Lullabies to Paralyse album after Olliveri was fired, toured with Them Crooked Vultures and contributed to Desert Sessions 7&8 with his late wife Natasha Schneider.

[@Misfits822]

At this point in the bands lineage, they had three singers. Josh sang a majority but Nick Oliveri sang the heavier screming songs, and gonna leave you and Mark Lannegan sang a few of the others.

[@flaviomargato5553]

Don't know if you know, but it's Dave Grohl on the drums.

[@NightwalkReal]

I didn't know, but now everything makes sense!!

[@kinabobeana]

One of their best albums! They can do no wrong in my eyes. Absolutely love their music and they're amazing live. ❤

[@bubtheboulder7092]

Hey man, this was a great video, I was wondering if you could listen to the album "The Lonesome Crowded West" by Modest Mouse" it's an indie rock band and it is an amazing album

[@terrysilvester4720]

Do Neutral Milk Hotel's In The Aeroplane Over The Sea next. An Indie masterpiece.

[@vaegirshoop]

Pretty sure its Mark Lanegan on some of the tracks.

[@eddiedingle767]

A Song for the Dead definitely

[@AlexHerlan]

It's not Josh singing on the first track bro. Lots of tracks are sung by the basist on this. There's actually 3 different singers on this album

[@SM-zh7ui]

Ahhh I love queens of the stoneage .... I saw them live once. And royal blood is amazing too ( also saw them live) ;) I really don't know you but from just watching this video... I really like you :)

[@NightwalkReal]

I really like you too :D

[@xiuxiu1108]

WTF NOOO... Yous shouldn't have stopped after the end of "If you think I aint worth a dollar," the seamless transition towards "No one knows" is one of the best things about this album

[@epidermolysisbullosasux]

That explosion in six shooter literally made me get goosebumps and shivers and chills down my neck

[@robertstirling2798]

Nightwalk, not sure if you know this, but that is Dave Grohl on drums

[@llazarus77]

apparently nobody wants that, but I'd really like to see you reacting to their latest album, Villains. seems like you would enjoy it. and Like Clockwork as well

[@NightwalkReal]

I'll do Like Clockwork when I do queens again, that's been the most requested.

[@BenchNO]

The weird track before Millionaire was a hidden track you'd get by rewinding.

[@kazzz2765]

You said you liked creepy stuff? Listen to death consciousness, you'll love it

[@petef15]

I noticed something the other day about the opening of songs for the deaf; the guitar starts off purposefully quiet so you turn it up really loud, then it hits your like a truck.

[@THENAMEISQUICKMAN]

Real Song For the Deaf is made up entirely of frequencies that can be heard by some deaf people. It's also meant to be a bonus track.

[@joelmiles3041]

Can you do White Stripes at some point if you haven't heard their stuff?

[@kana7715]

Joel Miles oh the white stripes would be amazing

[@danielallan5058]

their frist record,White blood cells and de stijl are criminally overlooked..they are my favs..I get the feeling everyone just listens to elephant and seems to think that and everything after was their choice output!!!

[@kalleholtta7937]

Do Like Clockwork also, would be fun to see what you think of it! 👍

[@travisbenge1912]

Some fun info: The Real Songs for the Deaf was not on the original album release. The singer in You Think I Ain't Worth A Dollar... is Nick Oliveri, the bass player. - watch out for Mark Lenagan, who does vocals on other tracks for QOTSA, including A Song for the Dead. Dave Grohl from Nirvana and Foo Fighters kills it on the drums.

[@richardadesmond]

I bought this album in a charity shop for €1...best Euro I ever spent, EVER!!!

[@ihavenoname5800]

Next: The Black Keys (El Camino)

[@BungleGrindClown]

My favorite Queens Of The Stone Age albums have to be Self Titled and Rated R and Like Clockwork. Songs For The Deaf is great also. Era Vulgaris is an extremely underrated album.

[@UFwho]

Also you should listen to the guitar solo on God is in the Radio. And the lyrics to Songs for the Deaf are good to pay attention to coupled with a good song. I was disappointed to not see your reaction to that one... dark and clever. It’s about cancer. And it’s fantastic.

[@NightwalkReal]

This was just part 1! I will continue shortly

[@garywilson3042]

I was about 13 when this album came out, and I remember when I was on a school bus trip going through France listening to this album over and over again. I had only that one album for my Walkman. It was a surreal and atmospheric experience.

[@LeveyHere]

I just recently listened to this whole album (only heard No One Knows beforehand) and it's incredibly solid throughout. And the thing that makes it even cooler to me is that Dave Grohl did the drums for the album, and Mark Lanegan of Screaming Trees is a member, doing vocals at times

[@metallica66625]

Rated R imo is the best album to react too.

[@MrLeighSD]

I pretty much grew up with this album and it's still something I go back to fairly often. I'm glad someone discovering it now enjoys it.

[@2zeski]

was so good to see you enjoy this album!!! it is truly great. this band is truly great. You should just listen to these songs played live though! They did songs for the deaf as an opening and song for the dead as a closing in their last tour!! I was there and it just was explosive.

[@JamoboBorg]

Interesting enough, the first song you heard is actually a bonus song found in the pre-gap on CDs Also, Dave Grohl is the drummer for this album, he also does parts of ...Like Clockwork Mark Lanegan is the 3rd singer you heard on Hangin' Tree

[@connorwesthoff948]

I’m just watching this video now and it’s crazy I was on the rail for muse sadly I couldn’t see queens of the Stone Age, because I wanted to be close

[@DamCast1]

Real song for the deaf is a hidden track?

[@tapiaccere6.5]

Yeah

[@StyxYRenegade]

On the original cd, you have to reverse the cd before the first song. Its technically Track 0.

[@SweetcheeksMcGee]

I'm so glad you did my favourite rock album ever

[@LedusZeppelinus]

Like clockwork is the best album (personal preference) but Deaf is definitely the best album to get someone into QOTSA. BTW the “intro” song wasnt meant to be a song, it was hidden in the album. The real album starts with the car radio part.

[@StephSinalco]

The most perfect (stoner) rock album of the last 20 years.It's been 18 years and still I can listen to the first tracks in total adoration.

[@AcridEclipse11]

i get so sad when the drumming insanity on first it giveth goes unnoticed

[@loupain2530]

This may be my new favourite video on the Internet. My favourite band of all time, favourite album of all time, and favourite youtuber all in the same video. But I am surprised that you didn't like Song for the Dead as much as No One Knows because Song for the Dead is widely accepted among die-hard fans as one of, if not, the best song on the album. Different strokes for different folks I guess. Quality vid. Big up.

[@NightwalkReal]

I've talked about this in another video, but it's really impossible to tell what songs are your favorite on a first listen. Sometimes it takes me 10-20 listens to really say for sure, I'll let you know how my opinions update! Thanks so much for the support :D

[@NightwalkReal]

Like Stockholm Syndrome from Muse took me at least 15 listens to really get into.

[@loupain2530]

Nightwalk That's true. I didn't really like the new Queens album until my fourth or fifth listen, now I love it.

[@BeatLA24]

Bird Expert Song for the Dead is awesome, and is their closing encore song at their live shows.

[@7856841]

We don’t stan old heads who hate on kids not knowing songs rather then just enjoying seeing them discover something great!

[@pixeldoom9298]

Glad youre enjoying the album. If you're digging the slower songs they have, I think you'd really like ...like clockwork, it has some amazing mellow and somber songs

[@leowynne-williams8875]

The reason the voice sounds so different on millionaire is because it’s not actually josh homme singing, it nick olivari

The first song by Queens of the stone age I heard, was go with the flow because, of a little game on psp called "Motorstorm artic edge."

[@foodank_atr817]

Had a friend in a group, they called themselves Pinebox Derby, the bassist played a pieced together plugged in amplified stand up bass... Their sound was much like "Six Shooter"...
