This song, a 350Z, some nitro and nothing more. Only thing I wish now.

One time....I was front row at a QOTSA show in Seattle. The encore rolled around and Joshua asked for requests. I raised my hand like a 2nd grader and he called on me. He said, "yes sweetheart?" And I screamed IN MY HEAD. Joshua said, "I think we can do that," and the band played it. This was at the Showbox in July 2011. One of the best moments of my entire life and I will never forget it. Edit 3 years later: here’s proof of my story and I’m the f*cking crazy sister. kzfaq.infoUgkxYkAqbEQglvAlIngwP3bvcMyeljMiyR2a

I never knew that electric guitars could go so well together with ... cars.

NFSU2= In my head Midnight club 3= little sister Guitar hero III= 3's & 7's motorstorm arctic edge= go with the flow I really miss my ps2

When i hear this song in the end of a race, i never lose.

The moment you hear this song for the first time while driving 260Km/h in Bayview while it's raining. You say to yourself: 'I wish I could play guitar' Finally after years of dreaming you buy a guitar and now you can play this song yourself. FEELS GOOD MATE!

This song is the best representation of how life was perfect back in the day. Most of us were in our early teens when we got introduced to this beautiful masterpiece through the most amazing need for speed game ever made. We would get to listen to this while we were busy beating computer players in sprints, circuits, while cruising through the beautiful Jackson heights. We had no worries of bills, debts, heartbreaks back then. We were only having the best time of our lives and were totally unaware that we'd come to a point and look back and cherish those beautiful moments. I can proudly say, we lived our childhood in a great period, when technology was available in the right amounts. Not too much, not too less, just the perfect amount. Wish I could go back in time and relive all those moments once again. Love you all!

After all this years I still have this song in my head. I think playing NFS U2 with my best friends as kids is one of my best memories and this song is going to stay in my head forever.

So many Underground 2 memories with this song.

One of those songs you can't only listen to just once.

Everyone who heard this as a kid -Get home from school -Get in your room -Dont even bother changing out of your uniform -Boot up Need For Speed Underground 2 -Play 'til your mother tells you to change out of your uniform -Pause the game to finally change out of your uniform -Mother tells you to come eat dinner -Eat dinner as quickly as possible -Get hiccups as a result but its worth it -Rush back to your room -Keep playing Underground 2 'til its time to sleep

lyrics: It's the cruelest joke to play I'm so high, i run in place Only a line, we separate, so I keep on playin our favorite song I turn it up while you're gone It's all i got when you're in my head and you're in my head so i need it You're the only thing i've got that i can't seem to get enough We collide for one embrace, so [X2] I keep on playin our favorite song I turn it up while you're gone It's all i got when you're in my head and you're in my head so i need it Hurry up & wait forever Hurry up & wait for forever [X2] I keep on playin our favorite song I turn it up while you're gone It's all i got when you're in my head and you're in my head so i need it

My first introduction to Queens of the Stone Age was with this song.

Need for speed Underground 2 A minha melhor experiencia em jogos de carros de toda minha vida , Zerei e bem na ultima fase contra o Caleb essa maravilha começou a tocar Me arrepio toda vez que ouço essa musica

One of the best rock bands period. Fucking love this shit

Need For Speed Underground 2 Nostalgic!!

Drifting that corner perfectly, smashing the NOS, overtaking the leader. Pure bliss.

I'm not crying, there is just something in my eye.

when i was young boy i listened while playing NFSU2 now I listen this song while driving my car

NFS Underground 2 Feelings

NFSU2 had one of the best soundtracks Ive ever heard. Makes me feel like such a badass racing around while listening to this!

The most underrated band in the world....

2024 who listening?

Josh is an incredible song writer. Takes serious talent to crank out music like this for years. Only a few musicians come to mind who have this kind of consistency.

I also played NFSU 2 but im here cuz i really like Queens

"LYRICS" It's the cruelest joke to play I'm so high, i run in place Only a line, we separate, so I keep on playin our favorite song I turn it up while you're gone It's all i got when you're in my head and you're in my head so i need it You're the only thing i've got that i can't seem to get enough We collide for one embrace, so [X2] I keep on playin our favorite song I turn it up while you're gone It's all i got when you're in my head and you're in my head so i need it Hurry up & wait forever Hurry up & wait for forever [X2] I keep on playin our favorite song I turn it up while you're gone It's all i got when you're in my head and you're in my head so i need it

Back when the world made sense

Wake up bro, it's 2004!

reminds me of crashing into a traffic car every 7 seconds... NFS for life

Idk why but... When this songs starts in NFSU2, always rain... Amazing!

I'm one of the few people who discovered this by chance. I kinda wish I had that nostalgic feeling.

I just wanna be a kid again... so much great NFSU2 memories

Happy 20 anniversary to the coolest rock song on earth & racing game.😎😎😎😎😎

The best song when using your nitrous on the highway in NFSU2. Memories.

This is what got me into rock at 10, still pure perfection to this day

Ive never seen the video , for a long time for me this song represented nothing more than driving in the rain towards the airport with a 350z and a full gauge of nitrous oxide.

First time I heard this when I bought the CD for my ex-gf. Should've never left her, she had great music taste.

I can never forget the feel of NFSU2 specially when I was driving in the city while it was raining listening to this music.

Pressing play on Cassette tapes,recording.hopeful that you wont lose your tape . 2 min rewinds and fast forwards. Good times .

This song has a special place in my heart and everytime I hear it, I can feel my old and failed love for her. It's a mix of nostalgic sensations, but it also reminds me my relationship with anxiety.

Shame on you KZfaq for suggesting me Jason Derulo when I searched for "In my head"

EA in 2004 (the era when this song came out): EA Games!, Challenge Everything. EA in Present: EA Games!, Ruin Everything.

Blue Civic! Red Miata MX-5! White Escalade! Yellow H2! Yellow Evo 8! Yellow Pontiac! Red RX-8! Blue Skyline! Blue Subaru İmpreza! Green RX-7! Green 350Z of Rachel! NFS UNDERGROUND 2 Legendary Times!

It may not be the best song I've heard but when it starts I immediately recall the first roar of that Nissan 240sx and the feeling is unexplainable ... 1.56 makes you want to crush the speedometer on the car !!

I don't think Elvis truly died, he was just reincarnaited to be Josh Homme. That's just how good this man and the band is.

Ohhh... My 350z... How I miss NFS:U2... EA, Y U NO MAKE NFS:U3?! Much feels. Such reminiscent. Many memory. So nostalgia. Wows.

One of my favorite songs from underground 2, never lost a race while this played

one game to unite us all

This song makes me have teenage memories... Good times of NFSU2, which was the responsible for me to meet this wonderful set of beautiful hearted men and this band, which makes me feel good for some minutes when I hear it.

he's so inexplicably cool in a way that no pretence or era of style or musical fashion could never replicate....just a frontman with sick vocals yet looks as enthusiastic and talented with his guitar as a lead rhythm player....ngl he is a Don up there with Kurt, Alex turner, Julian Casablancas and whatever you call this sort of rock from post 80s

this is such a jam... QOTSA owned their radio rock era... the New Wave touches... 🔥

Yes, this is so romantic to me ❤❤❤

It's the cruelest joke to play I'm so high, i run in place Only a line, we separate, so I keep on playin our favorite song I turn it up while you're gone It's all i got when you're in my head and you're in my head so i need it You're the only thing i've got that i can't seem to get enough We collide for one embrace, so Hurry up & wait forever Hurry up & wait for forever

This is my jam in nfsu2. I would win. Every. Time.

This song aged well. Such a rocking and driving song with rather racy lyrics. Dig it.

Alguém br vem sentir a nostalgia dessa música tbm? NFS UNDERGROUD 2🇧🇷

I love the guitar tone!!! It's like stuck in the timing!!! But I still love it!!! Makes me want to go, da da da da da da, da da da da da da, da da da da da da, da da da da da da, da da da da da da, da da da da da da, da da da da da da, da da da da da da!!!! Kind of like that!!! But always getting higher in the melody!!!!

Nostalgia hits again . . .

Qotsa my favourite band . I was crew boss at Leeds festival when they played. I wanted to give there crew the best easiest day ever. Due to circumstances out of my control, it probably started off their worst ! Their crew where so cool with me when I expected the opposite, so understanding and accommodating and cool AF.Show hit stage bang on time. I was an emotional wreck, felt every note , choked to bits and teary eyed and elated to the max. That band means so much too me..

Ah yes, back to the one of the most iconic games of the NFS series.

Josh homme you're a freaking genius.

If you know this song, your childhood was awesome ♥️

Need for speed Underground 2 anyone ?? powering through the streets at 150mph blaring this banger awww those were the days

Reminds me when things were ok

If you don't like this song ? You probably ten-years old, But if you like this, Your from the 1990s and early 2000s. Long live NFS.

NFSU2... What got me into this band in the first place...

Verse 1] It's the cruelest joke to play I'm so high, I run in place Only a line we separate, so [Chorus] I keep on playing our favorite song I turn it up while you're gone It's all I've got when you're in my head And you're in my head, so I need it [Verse 2] You're the only thing I've got I can't seem to get enough We collide for one embrace, so [Chorus] I keep on playing our favorite song I turn it up while you're gone It's all I've got when you're in my head And you're in my head, so I need it [Chorus] I keep on playing our favorite song I turn it up while you're gone It's all I've got when you're in my head And you're in my head, so I need it [Bridge] Oh, oh Hurry up, and wait forever [Chorus] I keep on playing our favorite song I turn it up while you're gone It's all I've got when you're in my head (It's all I've got) And you're in my head, so I need it (In my head) [Vocal Break] [Chorus] I keep on playing our favorite song I turn it up while you're gone It's all I've got when you're in my head And you're in my head, so I need it [Outro] I need it I need it I need it Now

I drink heavily when I listen to this masterpiece. I also keep on playin' our favorite song. In addition to that, I thank every fucking corner of the known universe for QOTSA.

NFSU2

damn!!....racin' down the jackson heights!!!

When you play this song while night driving with Toyota Avanza, feels like you driving with Mitsubishi Lancer with top set up and cool liveries around Bayview to attend a night street racing..

This song has been in my head since I first heard it back in 2005-06 while driving around in Gitmo. Great memories with a great bunch of people enjoying life.

PLS GOD GET BACK MY SWEET EARLY 00's

I haven't played NFS U2 in about 6 years, but i remember this song, i don't know how, but i do.

Hadn't listened to this album in 15 years, I had forgotten about this song that manages to be party rock but also kind of haunting...perfect for the late night pool session with the insomniac in the retirement home (yes that's what I was doing last night)

Tony Hawk, GTA and NFS. The holy trinity of games that introduces people to dope music.

Underground 2 made me get into QotSA and I've been a huge fan since. Got to finally see them live for the first time last year. Amazing performance!

NFS Underground 2 💫 loved chillin' with this music.

The 1st thing pops in with this song is NFS It was my favorite song when my bro was played. Still love it too.❤️❤️

NFSU2 marked my adolescence and this is my favorite song in the game. to this day I still listen and remember the good times when I played this game. “I keep on playing our favorite song I turn it up while you're gone...”

"In My Head" It's the cruelest joke to play I'm so high, i run in place Only a line, we separate, so I keep on playin our favorite song I turn it up while you're gone It's all i got when you're in my head and you're in my head so i need it You're the only thing i've got that i can't seem to get enough We collide for one embrace, so Hurry up & wait forever Hurry up & wait for forever

When I have a child, first thing I'm gonna do is install Need For Speed: Underground 2 on a Pentium 4, so he/she feels the same goosebumps I felt while driving under heavy rains, at the very late night, through the most beautiful city of the virtual worlds. Then, when he/she grows up and listens to this song, he/she shall feel the same nostalgic feeling I feel right now, it's more than beautiful! Thank you EA, Thank you QoTSA! You made my childhood even happier! ♥

Brought me by NFS UG2 when i was 14yo in 2005.. also This band song are never get old even 2023!

I'm so glad, I'm so fucking glad, to be born in the golden era of NFS. The MW and U2 soundtracks genuinely make me let go a tear of nostalgia everytime I listen to these bangers. I keep on playin' our favorte song~

this song has literally been in my head for too long i can't get it out

Came here for the band I've loved since I was eight years old and I first heard Go With The Flow when it came on Kerrang back in 2002. Fourteen years, a large collection of QOTSA albums and bootlegs on vinyl, three shirts, a messenger bag, turntable slipmat and a meeting with Josh Homme himself in 2015, safe to say that Queens Of The Stone Age are, and always will be, my favorite band of all time.

Makes me want to drive by night on a freeway and as soon as the song start : pedal to metal!

1:57 that is so cool man. It's a harmonised guitar line, but not in the traditional sense where it's consistent (think Thin Lizzy/Iron Maiden) but they're actually playing two different lines.

I remember when this song had just come out and I got into them for the first time. Last week I watched them playing it live for the first time, it was such a good sensation. Hands down one of the best bands out there, studio and live.

NFS U2....never stop racing :'( also huge QOTSA fan so dont even start :P

Every song sounds produced at a level other musicians wish they could achieve.

From 1:57 to 2:11 AHHHH

Dug up my old PS2 slim and played nfsu2... This had been in my head ever since...

this song used to make me so sad,but now i find it really beautiful

... when you ask your self why didn't you hear that song for so long and there is just no reasonable answer ... this is just flawless music.

It's 2022 and I'm still listening to this song and playing Need for speed underground 2

*_Nostalgia hits me like a Nissan Skyline when this song plays. Man, I miss this song... I miss the days when NFSU2 dominated the world of racing games._*

It remembers to much of need for speed underground 2. Lot of childhood memories

QOTSA has perfected the art of making excellent driving music.

this gives me the underground 2 vibes. i am back in my childhood.
