Not really. He doesn’t hit any higher notes from his younger years. Once you hit 50 that vocal range just dies

@@iplaywithrocksforfun nah he sounds fantastic right now and has been able to perform every song extremely well since they’ve been back on tour. You’re literally the first person I’ve seen since they started touring again who’s said he doesn’t sound great

He’s always sounded really good but getting sober and quitting smoking has definitely helped, he’s sounds phenomenal these recent shows. It’s really great to see him so happy and healthy up there after all the struggles he’s had. This lineup’s chemistry is absolutely insane, doesn’t get any better than this, Josh/Troy/Mikey/dean quad has been performing now 16yrs and it really shows because they truly sound as tight as ever, pretty much flawless, Jon has now also been their drummer now a decade and he’s amazing, longest tenured drummer, every member is actually the longest tenured in the bands history for their role/instrument in QOTSA. Anyway I’m rambling now but this unit is next level together. Best live festival band on the planet currently and just one of the best live bands in the world in any setting

@@puppetmaster8551 he’s literally never sounded good live since maybe the very beginning of their career, his live technique is horrific, you cannot honestly think him struggling with ‘pills’ at 0:42 sounds good, he is clearly straining the hell out of that note

​@@Viper-dz2kwwhat cope are you on my man

Dave said that QOTSA is the best live band in the world. Totally agree 🤘

Not always the case. Josh has been pretty hammered on their villains tour

@@ThatSavoieDude Well...we all are humans, dude 🤷‍♀️

Meth will do that

I had the opportunity of seeing them live a few years ago in Argentina opening for the Foos... it was the only time in my life when the support band was better than the main act! This is definitely one of the best live bands out there right now!

💯

Or, be Dio...

@@adrianoadiniz😂

No frills heavy rock band

Yes , spot on guys. I saw them in Tulsa Oklahoma in their early days, and they rocked the piss out of the place. Incredible sound. Easily the best live festival band.

Best band a Glastonbury by far

@@John-zt6yw yup they’ve always been an absolutely killer live band, they honestly sound as good or maybe the best they ever have currently tho. Josh sounds amazing and is sober and stopped smoking and this lineup has been together a long time now so they’re pretty much perfect, legit probably the tightest they’ve ever been and that’s such a high bar because they’ve always been one of the best live bands on the planet

I love every bit of them.

Shit you not, contender for my all time favourite. 😎

Yesss josh is a lovely bloke too

I'm pleasantly caving in ..noone knows

Considering the 2000s to present doesn’t have a lot of unique standouts, this most certainly is a contender for best modern rock song.

They are unique it's why I love qotsa

They’re great but that’s not going to happen

@@IMTURTLE92 which is fucking stupid

I prefer RHCP

@@reiyon6873having seen both RHCP and QOTSA live in the past year, RHCP were a huge disappointment. QOTSA on the other hand sounded insanely good

@@reiyon6873 RHCP live are boring as hell

Great rock songs never age. 🤘

I love a lot of Queens songs but “No One Knows” is like… divinely inspired.

…The polka remains timeless

I feel old now.. doesn't feel that long:(

Daaaammmnnn! Better than back in the days 😮

Because his mind is clear. He's off crystal meth after using for decades on and off

Any sources on that proclamation? Obviously he did a lot of drugs, but I never heard him mention meth in particular.

​@@hollunderboyhe talks about it in the Blocks interview/podcast

​@@Pevannithat was a joke

​@@ROOKTABULAhis drug of choice was always coke

The 1st Glastonbury Fair line up and performances were much better than this twoddle...

I disagree because I saw QotSA when Homme was all fucked up and they were awful. Glad he's sorted himself now and it looks like they haven't skipped a beat!

I remember going to a "Eagles of Death Metal" concert many years ago and I think Joey Castillo was drumming for them at the time, and when they came back out for the encore, Jesse said "I want to bring out my good friend, Baby Duck (Josh Homme) for these next few songs". Josh came stumbling out on stage with a half-bottle of vodka still in his hand, and sat down behind the kit. He then proceeded to shred through the 3 or 4 songs they played for the encore like it was nothing. It was one of the coolest things ever to see. I knew that he played drums on their records, but I had forgotten about that before he came out on stage and I was thinking "WTF is he doing on the drums??". He is one talented mofo!

I saw them live in the wrong venue - King's Hall in Belfast - big concrete shed with shit sound. It was totally forgettable. It wouldn't even have made my top 100 list (if I had one).

Drunk? That was meth lol

Just wait till qotsaarchive uploads the full show

@@Hansie_ I don’t think they are allowed to post the full show

For now you should watch their performance at Hurricane Festival, it was great: kzfaq.info/get/bejne/j9OolM2E3rPIlXk.html It was only about a week ago, and as it's part of the same tour, I would imagine the setlist would be very similar to what they played at Glastonbury.

Bbc I player mate

@@captainpeg4629 Glastonbury is different from any festival I’ve seen, the camera angles and audio is just incredible !

He balances accuracy with energy without loosing precision. Perfection in the form of a drummer

I thought it was Jon!

It is not without effort.

Listen to 'The Mars Volta."

Got to see him with The Mars Volta years ago, and he was just as unstoppable.

Among the loudest for me too, and super clear. Just fantastic. KISS back in the 90s, Baby Animals, My Bloody Valentine, and Ace Frehley solo were all up there as well for being loud. But the undisputed kings of loud was Motorhead back in 1991. My ears rang for three days after that gig. It was like being assaulted for two hours, my internal organs felt like they had moved. Like they had worked out where the sound pressure was high enough to actually hurt physically and were just a smidge below that. Ye gods it was EPIC.

I have GOT to see them before I die!

But Kiss? Saw them on their final tour. A bunch of charlatans.

@@shaunrobertson1064 Yeah Kiss became a sad parody of themselves in later years, the reunion tour in 1996 was pretty great though, Ace and Peter were back, the makeup and costumes was back, the big spectacle was back. For the few months of that tour the magic was back. And like I said, it was LOUD. Saw them again in 2000 on the "farewell" tour (if only it was), still pretty good but Peter was already gone and Ace was about to leave for the second (and final) time. Not quite the same. Ace still puts on a good solo gig, no airs and graces, just an honest rock and roll show played LOUD.

is a oneman project.. no band

@@lucianogoyenechea8704how long each member has been in band: Troy-21 years Mikey-16 years Dean-16 years Jon-10 years Lol

No. meshuggah is

The cribsssss

I loved mark Lanegan band so much as well. my top 2

Looks like Elton was the one playing to “all three people”

But that’s a filled venue

Immense !

They’re probably superior technically. Absolutely elite.

Heck! Michael has been playing guitar since 9 years old, bands from upper elementary school thru high school. Switched to bass at 14/15 years old. There was a podcast called Harsh Toke with Matt Fathouser (childhood friend and Evan L. Weiss (childhood friend, bandmate Wires on fire, currently tour guitarist for Sparks). On one of the episodes, Michael is the guest and they have a cool conversation. Another episode has Dean Feritia as a guest. Dash Hutton is on another episode. Dash played touring drums during a Mini Mansions tour : A Guy Walks In a Bar. Then Jon Theodore played the second half of the tour. Jon Theodore has an interview on a podcast with Dean Delray around before Villains was released. Drums since a teenager.

We can not leave out Joey Castillo on drums on tour and for Songs of the Deaf and Lullabies to paralyze. Era Vulgaris. That perfection smash Misfit Love on IFC The Henry Rollins Show.

They can hang but they're not Nick and Dave. And I know Jon is a technical player and an animal. Listen to some of the live shows from '02 and then tell me this is as good...

Well, if Jon could stop rushing all the fills it would be even better. He almost plays 16th notes instead of triplets.

I remember watching them the 1st time they hit Glasto, and this song was absolutely immense!!! ... and still is!!

Gets better with age

Yeah I was just thinking this-if I would hear this on the radio or a spotify playlist today it would still sound as fresh as ever. It's mad to write something that good.

When you do something a lot, for a long time, you get good at it.

Those are all hardcore who missed out on Elton John for this, so makes sense.

@@yanivbin7521 It's not necessarily hardcore to not want to see Elton John 😅

​@@WillyJuniori'm not what you'd call a big Elton John fan but he's a British music icon who has been relevant for 50+ years (yes most of from the 70's and 80's but still). The only people in his league are Paul McCartney and David Bowie and one of them is dead. He has dozens of world renowned hits and this was his last UK show...ever (or so they say) and it was quite a show. You can see QOTSA for decades yet. Point is even Josh knew they were up against it.

​@@WillyJuniorMick Jagger too I guess but he's not a solo artist and if they played Glastonbury Josh would reguse to play next to them so he vould watch them live.

@@kevtb874 Yeah, I would've went to Elton no doubt. Not because I like him better, but because he's among the great living legends playing a show that had "historic" written all over it. It was the place to be. Qotsa are great but they play a lot, if you follow live music and go to festivals you'll catch them eventually. Elton was a once in a lifetime show.

It's now the most viewed of the Glastonbury clips from this year, the people know what we want and it's Queens of the fucking Stone Age

That was The Mars Volta.

He's underused in Queens tho

I saw Mars Volta last week and no disrespect to their current drummer who was perfectly capable and had his own style - but he wasn’t a patch on Jon (or Thomas Pridgen for that matter)

Pretty good for a chef...

​@@autopilot980I mean..... he's used pretty well. It's about that mix of feel, skill and aggression. Not many can do it right. Sure he's not hitting his skill ceiling but clearly he fits the brief pretty perfectly.

he he..

What voice!

Because of his facial features, because his voice sounds nothing like Elvis

He also rivals Elvis's heroic intake of drugs and alcohol.

I see him more like Bowie.

​@@oscarpuertas0especially with the new album, 100% bowie vibes

Simply no one knows 🫣

His skull shield ring?

Deviam ter filmado o Troy

Youre lucky, man. What I would give to go back and listen to Songs For The Deaf again for the first time

2nd last song

Go with the flow was first, absolutely pumped

That doesn't sound plausible, if I'm honest

@@trulyunoriginal haha that’s the point Their tightness and performances are that good, that it makes no sense

I kept thinking...show the drummer! Show the drummer! (It's probably too much to expect that the director calling the shots would know the song.)

A decent sound mix would have been a good start, everything was buried under Josh and the bass. That's watching on my crappy old phone, better systems may get better results lol

It was 3’s & 7’s off of GH3 for me, and now I flew to Brussels, Belgium just to see them this weekend! Insane band

It was Little sister playing in the rock station in midnight club 3 for me

Shame. They gave it the beans!
