You can literally hear the transition between Kyuss and Queens of the Stone Age. Badass.

if you play this in 2020. play it loud pls.

Celebrating the newest qotsa song by listening to their first song released. It's crazy how far Josh has come

This is basically a Kyuss song. Awesome.

The bass player for this song is Milo Beenhakker. Together with Eva Nahon they formed the rhythm section in Beaver. They were asked by Josh for this song, first song ever released under the QOTSA name. It was released on the compilation album "Burn one up".

Bought this album the day it came out. QOTSA, Fu Manchu, Karma to Burn, Sleep, Acrimony, Beaver. This was the birth of the term "stonerrock" because of the album said "Music for Stoners" right on the cover. I wasn't a "stoner", but I loved Kyuss and wanted to hear more music like it. The album was an amazing corroboration of awesome underground bands.

This is the very first song from QOTSA, after changing their name from 'Gamma Ray' (post Kyuss breakup)

How many mind-blowing songs can this band write?

This was when Josh was still uncomfortable being a vocalist, I remember he said that in an interview somewhere back in the day.

Been listening to QOTSA for almost 20 years and somehow I've never heard this. The riff reminds me of Green Machine. Good stuff!

This confirms I can never get enough of Joshua Homme.

Why do feel like the more unknown is the song, the better it'll be ?

I can't get enough of this one, the bass is unreal

Can't see why my neighbors wouldn't like this too ..

The riff that comes in at 1:18 is almost identical to one of the middle sections of Spaceship Landing by Kyuss. Which is perfectly acceptable of course since QOTSA is the son of Kyuss.

Kyuss of the stone age

whenever i have to buy some cheap headphones i still use this song (0:14 - 0:26) to separate the wheat from the chaff.

Back to the roots, palm springs style. I like it, it even makes Schneider trucking look cool!

Still one of my favorite QOTSA songs.

All Queens is good Queens, that's what I say

i can hear a lot of hendrix in hommes playing in this track for sure

I've never found this one being played live...it's such a legendary song.

That would be awesome. The Queens have a history of re-recording tracks that don't see that many listeners ( Infinity, Born to Hula, Make It Wit Chu, etc), imagine if they did that with this one on the new record.

I don't know why their rarities are not on spotify

One of the most underrated QOTSA songs ever!

Honestly on a lot of this earlier QOTSA stuff, Josh sounds a lot like John when he did cleaner vocals in Kyuss. I really like it, I guess it’s the Californian accent and just the influence John may have had on Josh.

One of the all time best songs

This is my favorite QOTSA song. Too bad I've never heard or seen them do this song live. I have seen "Born To Hula" and "Rickshaw" performed live.

Man, I love stonin' and roamin. These hidden tracks are where its at!

midcenturygirl 5 years ago There is no yesterday, there is no tomorrow. Carry us swiftly mother earth, as far as you go. Over and over, clear and forgotten. Over and over. Over and over. There is no tomorrow. There is no tomorrow.

This was the first appearance of "Queens of the Stone Age" on an album, essentially the first QOTSA song.

The Kyuss fans worldwide pushed these bands along. They gave them attention and monetary support for them to go on to do greater things. They embraced the "Stoner Rock" genre. The sought music that was far out of the mainstream. That's what this album was all about. They had no chance without us.

Intro reminds me of Hawkwind's Master of the Universe riff... Super cool song by QOTSA.. early QOTSA was just another thing, they still had the Kyuss influence very fresh and kicked some serious amount of ass..

Love the old QOTSA stuff! Now they are still good but the old stuff is great!

Those songs are meant to "improve upon"! Or rather jam off on... The riffs and heavy ever-changing rhythm-section is so inspiring, that even if one cannot play a single instrument, tunes come crawling in and the body starts moving in strange ways... Thats how the desert sessions came about.

Jimmy hendrix riff in here when it breaks down I hear...haha..nice work...a cool vibe..real 60's sort of rock vibe I feel...

Came to listen to this after just watching them live

you can put this right in the middle of 'Sky Valley' and nobody would even notice... :) i always thought Kuyss/QOTSA split CD on Man's Ruin was the first 'official' QOTSA output... THX for posting this track....

I've never heard this before, never knew it existed. 20 seconds in and I'm psyched..... very Kyussy .... well that was nice

I like to think this song is about suicide. "There is no yesterday, there is no tomorrow." Then I hear the words as "Can't look, can't speak, another word." And then, "As far as you know, " would imply things about after death (heaven, hell, the void, etc.). "Over and over," would be the contemplation of suicide and finally, "Clear and forgotten." That's how you feel it would be. Forgotten but for a while a terribly clear conundrum in peoples lives. Anyways, what do you think?

This takes me back to 7th grade. I discovered all of these obscure songs and would blast them all the time in class. Good times. Miss those days.

I can't say really nothing bad bout this song, this music, this energy.... It's pure enjoy, pure rock, pure power from....guitars, people,minds...passion! yeah!!!

the style is Kyuss, amazing

after you listen to the last record, you miss this good old tracks

Now playing on Freezknotable: Zooted Stoner Rock show "18 A.D." Queens of the Stone Age.

Why have they never played this song live? I think it's awesome.

just think of all the awsome shit that the past members of kyuss have been involved with. and they're still going strong.

This is fabulous.

If you play this in 2023 ply it loud

i love this, qotsa is awesome

man this grooves

This is an everyday listen for me

Playing loud in 2021!

That is one awesome looking rig, they just don't may them like that anymore.

Listen to this whilst you're high, you will not regret

Please play this at my funeral

This is a good example of why I think Kyuss would have sounded even better with Homme fronting.

This song is making my A Level I.T coursework bearable...

Most songs are like that I think! Even on better known albums by better known artists there's always a solid track that lights your ass on fire and makes you wonder why it's not ever heard.

trippy heavy robotic.i could listen to this again...um and again

damn sick riff!

Classic!

i was amazed to hear this track back in the day 98'....before i discoverd desert stoner rock

I play this in 2300 bcz im in the future

Well said.

A one note piano solo is badassness.... then into the fade!

dave catching mentioned in a interview it was called 1880 if i remember

my fav qotsa album is either thier first one-self tittled, songs for the deaf, or over the years and thru the woods. i just cant decide .oh and thier split ep with kyuss

Well stated.

I need in spotify

This reminds me of gardenia by kyuss

man parts of this song sounds like one of the parts on "Spaceship Landing".. killer!

I don't know why they never release such good songs on spotify. That what app i use to play music

Blue Garden (Masters of Reality)- Kyuss. + Josh.

"Can't look, can't speak, another word"

YEAAAAA

There is quite a large Qotsa fanbase here. we just have to hide in the shadows and dark places of the world; So that we don't get infected with bieberitis.

allucinante...

Era is good top to bottom, battery acid is an awesome song, took some time to grow on me but the more i listened to the cd, the more i liked it/

I agree 100% josh homme is amazin

@markkalady dude its such a epic driving song could hear that turbo already haha

I understand that Queens of the Stone Age really means a literally evocation to Ishra, Inanna and others Goddess from the Mesopotamia and Mid West in the Stone Age, where the use Cannabis for the rituals and stay in contact whit God. So is more literally of what we think...

Love the big mean truck. American badass is coming down the road whether you like it or not. But it not just American, it's everyone. It's so awesome that the sound has gone global. I wish America would embrace this style of music like Europeans and South Americans do. Makes me sick and ashamed that the best band in the USA is more supported in Europe that it is in the USA. The sheep want more Timberlake and JayZ. I want more QOTSA.

1:18 heavy as heavy fuckin gets...LOVE IT

Spaceship Landing revisited at 1:17 🙂

this song is fucking awesome!!!!!!!!!

Classic grunge! :)

Fire it up!

I've seen em 5 times last time with Mastodon!

Bassist's Unite!

Holy fuck I thought I'd heard this somewhere but I could never find it on any streaming service

@WitchHazelSessions correction again, early Qotsa was Josh and Alfredo hernandez... the latter being the drummer

this needs a 12 minute bonghead remix

queens old stoner auuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu

I just went to the Kosbor and got me this fine, new haze. Lemon Larry. Funny name I thought. Just 11.00E a gram. Better check it out, youknow. Got home, put 2 papers together, what we in Holland call "een L-er"(coz of the shape), went on youtube and found THIS! for the FIRST time ever. Been a fan since the selftitled, nevertheless, never heard this one. And it all felt like destiny..? Fucking *CONFUSED GAZE FACE* event for the entire song! LOOOOVE

Nice kyuss reference, I wonder if there is any relation to Earth A.D. by the Misfits.

Is there any place I can find the rest of this release? I realized just how much of Josh's work is hidden and I'm determined to find all of it!

no sir. you are right, the last two albums sounded differrent compared to the older ones, but they still have the good old quality that we are all used to and love about qotsa. every band changes its sounds over the years and plays with its music to find new ways to express itself. but that is not a bad thing. and beefbourito is right, this sounds very similar to kyuss, which is great.

@TheBronzeKing amen!

awwwwwwwww, so sweeeeeeeeeeeet
