[@lyleclarke619]

Every guitar sound Joshua Homme has made before and after this song is on this song.

[@barryk00da]

Josh makes every guitar look like a Ukelele...

[@sandbergius]

That's because he was born with flippers instead of hands xD

[@TaintShot526]

You must be short. Lol

[@TaintShot526]

Also, Josh is a God.

[@larsroumen831]

Kei grappig 😂

[@petedogg47]

0:40 Josh is also watching from the crowd.

[@jorgemendes7140]

Love how Josh throws in Spiders and Vinegarroons.

[@felixrudolph4825]

Super awesome move! They never get boring.

[@arjunnarayan5746]

Good ear man!

[@vanessacherche6393]

a little bit of them crookd vs too

[@Lunaticcringe91]

The good old jho scale.

[@petedogg47]

I haven't gotten to that part, now it's not gonna be a surprise, but I'm looking forward to it anyway.

[@MrFoodAndDrink]

Their timing is impeccable

[@michaelfrangomichalos3665]

This is the Bohemian Rhapsody of QOTSA

[@lapduynguyenthien8674]

Michael Frangomichalos I Appear Missing is more worthy of that name. this is more like I Want It All

[@jamiebigham9420]

This is more like March Of The Black Queen or Prophet's Song

[@APAL880]

except not horrible and corny after the 2nd listen.

[@dm.6133]

every Queens Of The Stone Age song is their Bohemian Rhapsody.

[@Meg_Lovegood]

Don't Trash a good band with Queen.

[@CleoTheElf]

This sounds very Them Crooked Vulturesy. Or rather, Them Crooked Vultures sounds very The Fun Machine Took A Shit And Died-y. I love how Joshy everything Josh touches sounds. (Duh. But you get what I mean.)

[@scruffybasterd2209]

If he wasn't so tall I'd eat his brain to gain his guitar secrets.

[@Morphiman]

I totally know what you mean! Fun fact: New Fang by TCV was meant to be on Era Vulgaris. Search for "Queens of the Stone Age recording Era Vulgaris short bits".

[@scruffybasterd2209]

Yeah? You gotta assume Josh had to have been sitting on some great material before walking into the studio with John Paul fucking Jones! I bet Dave was under the most pressure, the man played with arguably the greatest rock drummer of all time. I don't argue between Bonham and Peart. Apples and oranges, blues and jazz.

[@macjan25]

In my opinion it sounds like Kyuss, not TCV

[@cyyytr0n]

@@Morphiman aw duuuuude, thank you for that, I'm a bitch for the Vulgaris ear, that's a shame they didn't documented the studio sessions like SftD or Lullabies !

[@loranceb]

5:50, isn't that the riff from spiders and vinegaroons? Excellent.

[@tanveerhasan2382]

Nice catch

[@joncoles3480]

You nailed it

[@cyyytr0n]

Typical high Josh : funny moves, eyes wiiiide open .. and awesome guitar licks

[@ME-sp9yr]

Wild eyed and ON.

[@bearres]

lol looks like he’s on opioids and speed. Pinned out. But could be the sun 🤔

[@cyyytr0n]

@@bearres thanks for reminding me this performance 👌😈

[@bearres]

@@cyyytr0n Tag! You’re it! Tag me in a great QOTSA performance.

[@MrRatclima]

Thie was during his coke days. So, likely that 😀👍

[@dagrohl1979]

Man I love Joey...my kind of drummer.

[@JebDMan]

+Francisco gomes I don't think a normal person changes underwear once every few years

[@smwrbd]

Talska ?

[@dEAthlikEstAtic]

is that a drummer thing lol? *the underwear thing.

[@hardrocker498]

one of my favorite Queens songs. God save the Queens of the Stone Age

[@doomerius1300]

Troy is killing it here

[@fullyfroston46]

Don't believe I've ever seen josh playing a tele much less a fender at all. Makes me happy to see him play one. Great version of this song.

[@user-yv6bo2yv3i]

He did that a bunch with Them crooked vultures

[@TheShwanzie]

i was there smoking a joint , i can tell you this was the best trip song ever in my life.I feel every vibe again and again when ihear this song.

[@chair1234567]

That Telecaster. That fucking Telecaster man.

[@cyyytr0n]

"Thinline" .. true beauty

[@MrRafting]

Luc ky is it me or Josh's thinline has more frets than usual?

[@RensFindhammer]

MrRafting Homme is a big dude with big hands so i guess the frets appear closer together

[@alienradio2000]

Somebody said Josh forgot some lyrics, I think that he just stopped saying 'You're ten pounds of shit in a five pound bag' so it didn't come out like he was insulting the audience - he'll do that individually as necessary! ...IMHO

[@swarthygiant1463]

I feel like either A)he expect the crowd to chant it, and maybe they even did but the audio is only picking up the stage or B)he thought the implication was better than actually saying it Especially given that this is a B side for a specific part of the crowd that’s into that kinda thing

[@bimse8013]

Joey... In my opinion their best and most brutal drummer EVER! ! ! What an epic and tight show 🎄👍🍺🤟♥️

[@therapist6328]

I have seen them quite a few times with Joey. His tempo can sometimes sway but he hits like a truck.

[@R3TR0R4V3]

He was a little "drifty" here, that's for sure. 😬

[@james7477]

Totally agree. So good.

[@ironmaiden254]

it used to be released on Lullabies, but they lost the record. The tapes got lost. Actually, they were just at another studio, but we falsely accused everyone in the world of theft.--Josh Homme

[@FlorisVandenA]

I caught joey's drumstick after the show,epic souvenir

[@MikePado]

This show??? No shit....

[@georginaK21]

@@MikePado It's unclear whether Joey stuck the stick up his ass or not before throwing it in the audience so it's premature to say that there was no shit...

[@dEAthlikEstAtic]

i hope you still have it.

[@DoolallyProductions]

Saw them at a small venue called the Armory in Rochester, NY in 2014 that only holds about 1000 people and they played this song last. They blew the roof off the fucking place, the smaller intimate setting made the song seem all the more powerful as though it had just been written for that small crowd that night. Best concert experience I've ever had.

[@Gokhan0114]

4:20 my favorite rifff

[@aldack]

yes!!!

[@cadmarins]

3:05 badass man fucking holyy shit

[@zenzer0380]

“The worst beating I’ve ever had in my life”……it was beautiful!! Joey Castillo’s Drum Kit

[@ewegenia]

Love the Spiders and Vinegaroons towards the end.

[@MrI3lue]

This is the greatest and best song in the world.

[@oooooo1534]

Joey with his shirt on, a rare sight to behold

[@durden2480]

Highly underrated and rare

[@pbrn93]

i've been listening to the part between 3:06 and 4:10 for now 1 week and duuuuuude, i can't understand how so much awesomness could be gathered for 1 minute... It's hardly bearable

[@luzdaviola]

Awesome change and riffs!

[@EthanMartel]

Been listening to it for years and it still HITS

[@DougRobertson]

I swear to fucking god, this is the best lineup QOTSA has ever had.

[@Fudgaboutit]

Does this actually rock harder than the studio version? I'd almost say it sounds better.

[@sandbergius]

QotSA is one of the few bands that actually do perform as good on stage as they can produce gems in studio.

[@neilackerman8741]

I’d say so. Like listening to the Raconteurs live version of “Level”. Sounds better live IMO and “Whore Hopping” by EODM

[@jeffyneedsanap]

My fun machine just got re-born.

[@scottallen9556]

Joey Fuckin Castillo tonight folks!

[@kls0110]

Dat yelp @ 1:34 doe

[@terryneal3314]

What is this madness? I have every CD issued by this great band and I've not heard this song. What the....?

[@Ominous89]

B side of Era Vulgaris

[@elvisjsax]

Didn't come out in the States

[@HBclique]

Should of been on the full album version

[@thedevilsaid6846]

HBclique they lost the recording just before final submission for LTP. It was supppsed to be the “hidden track” like mosquito song on SftD

[@zmonte_]

The Devil said, I think he means Era Vulgaris, as it was a bonus track

[@jactosentalerant69]

1:35 I've seen basically every Qotsa video online ever and Ive never heard Josh make that noise

[@Chris.4345]

4:22 The polyrhythm in this section is cool

[@boiradomal]

WHAT A FUCKING HELL! SOUNDS SO AMAZING

[@SneakyTuxie]

One of my favs, so good!

[@luisniemann7263]

This sounds so badass😍

[@kshay89]

Thanks for uploading this so damn quick!

[@SerpentineandBLACK]

still a favorite after all this time

[@carolyncoleman9504]

Thinking of my angels that were passing, 10,11,12 12, 4 in all. She's talking. How do we go on, ❤️

[@AcousticG713]

This is such a badass song. Thank you for existing. 🙌🏽🙌🏽🙌🏽🤘🏽🤘🏽🤘🏽🤘🏽

[@petauro]

from 5:30 to 5:44 Josh plays a part taken from an old live version of Auto Pilot. Listen to "Auto Pilot live Hultsfred 2003" to hear it

[@jv2781]

Never noticed but youre right !

[@mrmarkiihl]

bravo!!

[@greenlong1987]

That’s one fine ginger. Oh and that redhead in the audience is alright too.

[@ThePatrickshumack]

@qotsaforeverandever played one at the store today....felt amazing!

[@TaffyRaphie]

never seen him use that tele before. nice

[@aarongreen7556]

when it comes to song titles this one wins. And it rocks

[@andy-kminden-8521]

Best Song Ever !

[@CCDaDon15]

Josh makes a sound similar to it on Mind Eraser

[@INTENSPENCE]

Mega good

💙

[@lucassilvadedeus]

Joey is fucking awesome (when he is not fucking the songs tempo)

[@grandcinematicband]

at what point did he fuck up the tempo?

[@cyyytr0n]

Troy looks like he's playng some kind of Epiphone Supernova

[@Bazmono]

It is! Lovely guitar

[@williamoliveira1409]

it's a Epiphone Noel Gallagher Signature Supernova

[@J0NNO]

Ha! Was thinking the exact same thing

[@CB836]

Oh my fucking joey!!! Thats is one fucking Slick groove!!!!

[@bantom360]

What a fucking tune.

[@leofernandes8718]

Foda de mais!

[@dpowanator]

@Pioneer8505 you're right i forgot about that. another classic version.

[@mindennevfoglalt]

exactly what i was going to say, i just scrolled down to see if anyone else recognized it !

[@joskeeeee]

5:50 Spinders and vinegaroooooooooooons

[@CRN8091]

Fuck yeah 🤘🏼

[@menahenng5249]

Agasajo de canción!

[@dpowanator]

@joaoracastro this song was before tcv. It was a b side for era vulgaris (2007) but yeah there are some similarities in sound between those two albums

[@crookedqueen5439]

Fuck yes!!! 🖤🖤

[@greendayusa11]

That was fuckin nuts. What great performance to say the least

[@Teuchterdavie]

I love the way he says 'scratch the itch' at 0:54 haha

[@joaoracastro]

@dpowanator i already heard the b sides album and this live version is incredibly well playd. good to know that "era vulgaris" stuff

[@masdelmar]

@MrStefbef in Trix was het van de eerste tot de laatste noot van dat! ;)

[@edu3932]

Joey castillo faz falta

[@tylertaylor5490]

how it didn't make the stock album is beyond me

[@rebeccav.3734]

Dorks lost the song and all drunkenly blamed each other for its loss then later on found it in a potted plant.

[@JaredSingletonATL]

Fuck.....yes!

[@crudeskater4]

2:45 JUMP !!!!!

[@jacksonvega7751]

QOTSA goin all Waits/Ribotian. I fuckin love it. Homie should get them on a desert session

[@thekevthings722]

Why isn't this masterpiece in Spotify?

[@ElNino6555]

Sorry for the late comment, maybe because this song wasn't released in the original version of this album.

[@ElNino6555]

But it appears in the European version

[@KingGoombah]

riff central

[@tboyd0203]

GD I love Josh's paprika and salt facial hair! ;)

[@stoverijmetfrieten]

@Batgast105 hope to see you again next time qotsa hits belgium ;)

[@mr_guy661]

@joaoracastro Well they both have Josh Homme in so I'm not surprised, and it sounds fucking brilliant! :D

[@HalfMoonProphet]

There really needs to be a 2LP reissue of EV with a D-side that goes Running Joke -> Era Vulgaris -> The Fun Machine.

[@nivagcomicsreviews7074]

Isn't this the song they recorded then it got lost so it didn't end up on the album luabize

[@lucassilvadedeus]

0:45 = STOOOOONED

[@FlorisVandenA]

@CB836 No man,that happened when I was wrestling for it. I had to fight of four other guys before I could finally embrace Joey's stick.

[@aghamom]

Any idea what’s the effect that’s on when Josh plays the riff from spiders and Vinegaroons? Reverb and springbox?

[@mojojasons]

Playing a bad note out of thousands is hardly a fail.

[@CB836]

@flowjob2 after catching it did you start to get green rashes and turn into the hulk and eat drums for breakfast ?

[@DillingerEscapeMan]

0:17 some nice treats for Josh

[@jaggysnake3]

The girl at 31 seconds is smokin hot!

[@thatdude3977]

:)

[@PureHagelslag]

@GianTheMan91 He forgot the lines to the song another time too, but who cares! It was my first QOTSA concert, and it kicked so much ass! Much better than I expected it too be (and my expectations already were pretty high ;)

[@MrKraddock]

3:24 the bald guy: "wtf are you doing?"

[@MytragineMachine]

@ghizmo01 With regular computer speakers or headphones you can't even hear it
